Sudden pain

Eric picked up a knife placed on a tray and wrapped his hand around it, slicing his palm he swiftly pulled the knife and handed it to Ariel.

Ariel followed Eric and soon a cut could be seen on her palm. Eric took her bloodied hand in his. " I promise to protect you with my life." Eric said before their blood combined, forming a strong bond between them. Whole place was filled with loud cheers.

Ariel could now feel her connection with the pack, she could feel their presence in her mind.

Before the pack bombarded her with best wishes Ariel blocked them out of her mind. Listening to hundreds of voices in your head at once isn't something that gives you pleasure, right?

During the ceremony Eric purposely lefted out the part where Ariel had to promise him to obey his command.

He knew that Ariel being the queen had her own choices and some of them even differed from his. He didn't wanted to force his little mate.

After the ceremony people resumed their normal chatting. The only thing that was off was the absolute absence of Jordan and his sons.

Their absence was giving Ariel a weird feeling because right now she was unaware of what they were planning.

The trouble maker trio made their way to the couple and congratulated them. " ah, she's all grown up now." Jackson said dramatically leaning towards Alan.

"oh stop it, you are making it look like she is getting married and moving to another state." Samantha said, rolling her eyes.

Suddenly Eric started to feel pain in his chest, the pain grew more and more by each second.

Not being able to control anymore he excused himself and went back to the pack house walking straight to his room.

Someone was following Eric  as he went to his room. After reaching his room Eric slammed the door shut and tried to figure out his current situation.

The pain in his chest was now traveling to other parts of his body. His vision got blurry and he fell on the ground.

Eric felt like there was a flame in his heart that was now burning his whole body. His head was filled with ringing sound. His condition was getting worse, he tried to mind link Ariel but failed.

As he was struggling to get up someone entered the room. " What are you doing?, get the hell out of here." Eric yelled through his pain.
