Chapter 149: Clearing the Air

Ariana POV

When under stress and facing an epic battle and lies from scheming parents, raid the kitchen. 

She had to organize the food supplies anyway, so she coaxed Irina and Dimitri to accompany her while she did, and grab a meal because they'd been too busy to eat. 

She let both of her mates drink from her to take the edge off, getting nutrients and flavor they couldn't get from a Caesar salad or a steak sandwich or the cook's leftover goulash, heavy on the garlic. 

Irina cleaned the glistening scarlet blood from her fangs. "Ariana, Dimitri, I can explain."

"If I wasn't so fed up with my parents, I'd be in no mood for explanations," Dimitri answered, taking a long drink of water to wash the blood from his fangs.
