Struck With Lightning.

"Hey, are you okay?" The figure asked Ariel who was too charmed by his handsome face, pulling her out of her world of fantasy and back to reality. 

"Uh?" She asked, pulling herself together. She was enticed by his beautiful face a while ago, losing control of herself as her jaws dropped slightly drooling over him.

"Gosh" Ariel quickly closed her jaws as she pulled herself together scratching the back of her head in disarray while the unknown figure in front of her let out a soft chuckle observing her, what in the world was happening to her right now?. 

She didn't waste time as she quickly turned to her side and wiped off the little saliva at the end of her lips that escaped when she was drooling over him. She just embarrassed herself in front of a total stranger.

"I'm fine" those words managed to escape from her lips which did the magic because it reduced the feeling of tension she was feeling at that specific moment.

"Okay, then I will be going" The figure waved to her amidst smiling, that smile alone melted Ariel's soul. She tried waving back but her hands couldn't move.  

Ariel stood puzzled for a moment, she turned behind her quickly trying to catch a glimpse of him but it was too late due to the fact he had mixed up with the crowds already, walking to their different destinations in the street.

Before he left, She had studied his features closely, he looked really young to her like someone who was no longer part of the teenagerdom, he was quite tall and muscular.

His brown hair was styled in a crew cut which blended perfectly with his oval face. His nose was sharp, pointy and well proportioned. He had heart shaped lips fitting his beautiful face.

His blue eyes shone like that of the deep blue sea, those eyes of his charmed her and that's what made her lose herself and drooled over him.

Ariel stood on her toes, raising her neck a bit in search of him but she couldn't find him. What was she even doing?She got heartbroken yesterday and today she was falling for another guy already.

Nope! That wasn't happening.

Ariel finally gave up at last when she caught no glimpse of him in the crowd. She took a step but stopped when she stepped on something.

She bent and picked it up, taking a good look at it. It was a white necklace designed with pearls all around it. It looked pretty expensive to her. It must have fallen off when she bumped into him.

Ariel had to give it back to him but how was she going to give it back to him when She barely knew him and gosh!. It then got to her, she didn't ask him for his name.

But it would have been weird if she asked him for his name, she can't just ask a total stranger his name when she was the one that bumped into him. He might think of her as a stalker. She was still glad he didn't ask her to pay for the tuxedo.

The worst part was she couldn't get his scent too if not she would try tracking him down with it. She sniffed briefly at the necklace in her palm but she still couldn't get any scent of him out of it.

That was quite weird, because as a werewolf she could pick up on any scent be it human or her fellow werewolves except they hid their scent. But he didn't look like a werewolf to her, in fact he looked pretty much human to her.

Ariel shook her head in disappointment, hoping to meet him someday for her to give him back the necklace as a payback for him not asking her to pay for his tuxedo.

He was a good person for the fact he let her go after spilling coffee on his tuxedo when she bumped into him mistakenly. He was a noble gent.  

She slid the necklace into the pocket of the red hooded jacket she was putting on and walked back to the woods, she spinned around making sure she wasn't being followed before she zoomed off with intense speed into the woods.

****

Ariel walked to her dresser, she got the necklace out of the pocket of her red hooded jacket. She took a good look at it once more examining it, she looked closely at it and saw a name imprinted on it.

"T-I-A-RA" She read the name out slowly. It belonged to a female, maybe it was his mother's or his sister or probably his girlfriend's. Ariel wondered who it belonged to, he must have wanted to give it to whoever it belonged to before it fell off.

Ariele felt shildy at that certain moment, it sent tingles of cold guilty goosebumps over her arms. She rubbed her arms swiftly to chase them off.

She took a deep breath and let it out fleetly, she was definitely going to give it back no matter how long it would take for her to find him. Ariel was determined to find him so tomorrow she would be going back to the city.

She drew the cabinet of her dresser open, putting the pearled necklace inside of it. She walked towards her bed, throwing herself lightly on it as she prepared herself for sleep.

Her mind drove her back to the insanely handsome guy she met today, lost in her world of imagination of him, she let out a big smile at the thought of him. His oceanic blue eyes were the part of him she loved most. He must be an angel sent on earth.

That thought got intruded upon by a knock at the door of her room. With an annoyed grunt, she got off the bed walking towards the door. 

Ariel opened the door only for her to see Avril. "Ugh" she let out a disgusted scoff. Why did it have to be the devil incarnate that intruded upon her beautiful imagination of the handsome blue eyes she met today.

"You don't have to do that, It's obvious you hate me already" Avril said to her with a wicked grin formed at the end of her lips. Ariel rolled her eyes at her, that wicked grin that always formed on Avril's lips was the one thing she hated about her sister.

"Father sent for you" Avril mentioned to Ariel. Ariel pondered deeply on why she was needed by her father. She had gone to his room earlier asking him if she was needed before she left for the city so why was he calling her now?.

She was only summoned once in a day unless important matters suddenly fell out. She closed the door, moving towards her father's room alongside Avril.

****

"Father, you sent for me" Ariel answered to her father, immediately she revealed herself in his room while Avril followed behind.

John Mills settled the pen he had in his hand writing something down on a book placed on his desk. His huge room served as an office for him.

He raised his eyes in search of his daughter. His eyes stopped when it fell on her. His gaze fixed on her firmly, Ariel swallowed hard as her eyes caught with his.

She hurriedly took her eyes off him looking at the Chinese vase filled with flowers beside him placed on top of his desk, Her father really scared her a lot.

He scratched his nose before speaking "I forgot to remind you earlier" He paused, letting out a mild cough before proceeding with his words.

"You will help the others with the preparation of the mating ceremony of your sister and Carter tomorrow" He dropped his last words.

Ariel's legs went dumb at that particular moment, hearing her father's words. she felt as if she was struck with lightning.

"What!?"
