Arielle had her chin up as she entered the pup care, she cast a glance at the boys at the gate and they shuddered. "Gu-good mo- morning Ari-lle, " stuttered Michael and Caleb.
Arielle didn't respond to them, she continued proceeding with her large sack of grinded meat. Arriving at the kitchen door, she got in and prepared the pups' food. When she was done, she entered through the door that led to the main hall.
The pups that were barking at Macy yet again suddenly stopped and turned to Arielle. They wanted to run to her but their instincts, after looking her in the eyes told them to stay frozen and quiet.
"Morning Mace, "Arielle said out loud as she bent to serve a pup near her.
Macy's mouth slacked as she watched Arielle serve the pups, after regaining sanity, she couldn't help but whisper, "Arielle, your hair is black again?!" "Arielle your hair is BLACK AGAIN!!!" she repeated loudly.
"Yes, "Arielle muttered listlessly.
Macy rubbed her eyes just to be sure they weren't playing tricks on her, Arielle was breaking all the rules Treize set for her. First, the girl's BLACK hair was packed in a neat ponytail, she was wearing a RED crock top and black short leather mini skirt along with a dazzling black knee-high boot. Clearly, she wasn't dressed for poop cleaning and this scared Macy.
The whole pack was aware of the time Trieze beat one omega to a pulp because she had the same hair color as his mate and wore his favorite color. That omega was Arielle, on that special day she decided to take a stand against Treize's rules. The strange thing was she only did that because she was given a lesson on human rights in school, sadly it had nothing to do with wolf or pack rites.
It took her a while to heal which is why Macy is still shocked that the girl would want to court death again, "you should go home and change everything, "Macy affirmed.
"Why?"Arielle retorted.
Macy flung her hands in the air, "for obvious reasons gurl! Trieze will kill you!!"She screed.
Arielle scoffs and said, "I'll like to see him try."
Macy was dumbfounded, 'what has gotten into her, 'she mused, "you were nowhere to be found yesterday and today you have a death wish?"
Arielle grunted in annoyance, she has been suppressing her alpha side for Macy's sake but the omega won't just stop talking, "go and take care of the little ones, "She ordered.
Like she was under a spell, Macy found herself moving towards the newborn's area. It took Arielle less than 10 minutes to be done with the feeding after Macy left, but pups would still be pups even though with an alpha among them, they nagged Arielle about the cartoon on TV and begged that she sang them a lullaby.
"Pups, the only set of werewolves alphas have little power over, "Arielle said with a smile and a shake of her head. They were finally asleep after all the drama.
She crept into the new Borns' care without Macy noticing her, she decided to help Macy with the other little ones since her back was turned, the multi-colored large hall seemed a bit empty like some mothers refused to bring their kids.
It means less work for Macy since Vedika was nowhere to be found. After dropping a pup in her sleeping cot, Macy turned around and almost dropped the bottle she had in her hand, "damn girl, how the fuck do you do that shit?"She cursed, whenever she was scared or upset, she rains curses.
Arielle shrugged and continued reclining the baby in her arms, werewolves are born human but transform into wolves when their two years old and transform to their human form again when they are seven. The human version of them will remain till their of age to shift and control their shift.
Arielle unfortunately never shifted, she started as human and was almost given away to the humans if not for her aunt who went the extra mile to prove that she was indeed a werewolf. Since that time she had been tagged, # cursed Ari.
Macy was surprised to see that Arielle had put the other babies to sleep within the short period she stood back turned. Surely something was off about her friend, right? As the two girls sat, Macy began with concern, "Ari are you okay? You are acting strange."
"Am fine, "Arielle replied flatly.
Macy sucked her lower lips, "did you know that the sentinels were attacked last night?"She asked.
<" Yes I do know because it was my freaking wolf that did it, "> Arielle mind linked Energìa, the snobbish wolf finally spoke after being silent since Arielle spoke with Rukky, <, "I said sorry already, in my defense he attacked me first, ">Energìa said.
"Did you hear me, Ari? "Macy asked as she snapped her fingers in front of Arielle's eyes.
Arielle nodded, "I heard, "she mumbled.
Macy crossed her arms vexed, "meaning you know Vedika's mate got hit by the strange wolf?" she asked.
Seeing Macy frown made Arielle feel more guilty, "I didn't know…." She said with her head down, lifting it she asked, "how's his condition now?"
Macy sighed in relief, at least the caring Arielle was still around, "he is still at the salutary wolf's ward. My guess, he is already healed but is being kept for observations, "She told.
"I will go see him later, "Arielle said, her face was dropy showing her sadness.
Macy rubbed Arielle's hand that was on the desk, "yeah we should do that, " for a moment she felt a spark as she touched the girl and subconsciously moved her hand away, "where did you get the meat from? Because it was just this morning the hunters brought in the fresh kill, "Macy inquired with a brow high. She could tell the meat Arielle served the pups wasn't the one the hunters brought because it smelt different.
Arielle on the other hand wished she didn't hunt, she only allowed Energìa to catch 1 large boa because she thought the hunters won't bring in their kill so early especially since the pack was still dealing with the aftermath of the strange occurrence of the previous night. She was about to lie when Macy started grinning before she spoke, "Ethan personally went hunting on his own with the hopes of seeing you."
Arielle rolled her eyes, she had turned that boy down a million times, Ethan was the gamma's son and a hunter, he had been in love with Arielle for years now. It baffles Arielle how the boy manages to come back every time even after she embarrassed him on several occasions. He even started attending the human school district in clove Town and entered art class because of Arielle.
He had promised her heaven and earth but Arielle refused him. Patience as a virtue is something Ethan had an abundance of, "he better stop chasing me or else I bite him one of these days, "Arielle joked but Energìa was ready to enact it.
A sad frown made its way up to Macy's face, "Ari why are you wearing the forbidden color? And why the hell did you tint your hair black again? Gurl, do you really wanna join Ralph in the ward?"
Arielle chuckled, the dress and hair change was all Energìa's idea. The wolf threatened to challenge Treize on sight if Arielle didn't do her bidding. The hair change was easy since her real hair color is black, she needed no dye as Energìa returned it to its original form. As for the dress picking, it turned out her wolf had a good sense of fashion. She always had those clothes in her wardrobe but didn't dare to wear them out. The least she could do was play dress-up in her room.
Sighing, Arielle stated, "oh don't worry about me just get used to it, "she winked.
