Sweeter Than Candy.

Ariel wanted revenge and that is what she was going for, who knew revenge was so sweet?Even sweeter than candy. Revenge is best served cold.

And that was how she was going to serve it to Avril but she should have thought about her father, Johnson Mills who doesn't joke with Avril.

About what he was going to do to her when he finds out what happened over at Carter's room since she feared the man greatly.

Let's save that part aside, till then.

Ariel walked into her pack house with a smile on her face, today definitely was the best day of her life. She wanted her revenge on Avril, and hasn't begun it yet.

But her kissing Carter was another good strategy to make Avril mad, she thanked the moon goddess that Avril caught the both of them in the act.

She was back from the sundown midnight pack house after playing her part in the flower garden against Avril and Carter's mating ceremony tomorrow.

She excused herself from Carter's room to go help out in the flower garden after causing chaos between Carter and Avril.

Ariel was surprised Avril didn't chase after her when she was leaving the room for the both of them. Carter probably was the one holding her back, trying to solve the chaos she caused between them.

There was no reason to worry about Carter and Avril because no matter how much they were going to argue, she would easily still forgive him and become his Luna tomorrow.

After all, who wouldn't want to be Luna?, especially Carter's Luna.

Even if Avril wanted to reject Carter as her mate after what happened today, Ariel would be one of the reasons she wouldn't dare to do so, Carter would never belong to Ariel as long as she was alive and breathing.

Ariel made her entrance into her pack house through the doorway, she walked into the noisy general hall crowded with the rest of the pack.

The noisy hall gave into a dead silence that if a pin was dropped to the floor, one could actually hear the sound of it. Every member of the pack sent over to the sundown midnight pack house were back.

All eyes fell on Ariel standing beside the door as if she committed a grave offense and that she should run for her dear life before she got caught and confined for the rest of her life.  

Ariel didn't speak a word, she just looked around the hall searching for Avril till her eyes fell on Jacob causing her to let out a disgusted scoff as he winked seductively at her.

She rolled her eyes at him and then left the hall for her room. Ariel opened the door and entered, going straight to her bed and threw herself on it.

She spread her hands and legs on the bed, swirling them on the bed as she closed her eyes, driving her mind back to the moment she kissed Carter.

His soft thin lips tasted like sweet red grape wine when she kissed it. No one knew how much she had missed those precious lips of his.

Talk more of the part when he kissed her neck and touched her in a sensitive way,  sending shivers down her spine and drove her over to cloud nine. 

Ariel has missed his touch and thanked the moon goddess for giving her such a golden opportunity to finally touch and kiss him one more time today.

She rolled herself on the bed, lying on her back and facing the ceiling of the room. Closing her eyes, she kept on thinking about the kiss she shared with Carter.

"He still loves me" Ariel whispered, her hands on her chest as she let out a big smile. She was relieved but somehow doubtful.

Why was she still thinking about Carter when he was going to complete the mating bond tomorrow with her sister during their mating ceremony? Yeah, she kissed him which Carter responded to but that didn't guaranteed he still loves her.

"Ariel, get to my room immediately!" Ariel heard a voice in her head, pursuing away thoughts of Carter in her mind. The voice was deep and hoarse just like her father's.

She got up from the bed swiftly, sitting on it and trying to recall who had the voice. It sounded like her father but he has never called her since she knew him, using the mind-link. 

Avril was the one always sent to call her if she was needed but Avril was too busy preparing for her mating ceremony tomorrow, and that may be the reason he was calling her to his room using the mind link.

Letting out a soft huff, Ariel dismissed the voice away from her head with a wave of hand. Laying back on her bed and surrounding her mind with thoughts of Carter.

He was driving her insane.

Her cheeks turned pale pink, she was blushing fervently at the thoughts of Carter swimming in her mind till the voice rang in her head again, overlapping some thoughts of Carter in her mind partly.

"This will be the last time I will call you again Ariel, over to my room!!!" 

Ariel jumped off of the bed to her feets swiftly, like a baboon jumping from one tree to another. That voice definitely was her father's, it was exactly his. His voice was always so commanding.

Without wasting time, she ran from the room in a flash to her father's before he called her again. Because if he called her for the third time, then she was going to be dead meat.

****

Ariel walked into her father's room, the door was open as if waiting for her to walk into her own deathtrap. Her two hands placed on her front with her fingers intertwined between them, trembling in fear with her head bowed.

She hated being called into his room due to anytime she was called into his room, it was never for good but for bad.

Why was he calling her?She had done her own part of work in the sundown midnight pack house against the mating ceremony tomorrow or did Ariel report to him about what happened over at Carter's room?.

Still on the thought of that, she raised her face quickly in search of Avril. Since she couldn't find Avril in the general hall, she was probably in there planning what she was going to do to her. 

Her eyes went around the room but it caught no glimpse of Avril. Reaching for the top of her temple, Ariel heaved a deep sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness" Ariel mumbled under her breath, totally forgetting where she was and her father who was sitting and watching her closely.

She pulled herself together quickly, observing the way he was staring at her. It wasn't a warm one but a cold stare. A deep wrinkle appeared on his forehead as if someone pissed him off.

Her probably.

"Father, you called for me?" Ariel asked, with her head bowed. She was trying everything in her power to not quiver, which she was doing fine and good till he asked her.

"What happened over at Carter's room?" 

Ariel lost all her senses of reasoning the moment he shot that question at her, she should have sensed earlier that Avril would surely report to their father about her kissing Carter.

And maybe then, she would have ran away, but where would she be running to?. 

She was going to be tracked down and caught anyway, which would result to a greater punishment but that punishment would be ten times better than the one she was going to receive now.

Poor Ariel.
