A Hybrid, Battered And Broken, Yet Invincible It's Not Humiliation But Atonement
AriaAlthough I may appear calm on the surface, only I know the emotional turbulence in my heart. I am scared for my brother and Henna. She has grown quite fond of Jerry now and I dread the impact it will have on her if things were to go south.This is why I have been keeping myself in check. After considered telling the Reynolds what my wolf has told me, I decide against it without batting an eye. Their condescending looks are enough to keep me at bay. It is only when Henna walks in with the twins that something clicks in my mind.I have someone who is capable of healing my brother. And that someone loves us to the moon and back. He is my maternal grandfather, Mtungagore the Azanian warlock. He named my twins Allay and Harmony, meaning healing and peace. I remember vividly what he told me the last time we spoke. I truly shut him out but he was unfazed. "If you ever face a situation where you are not sure of the next step, remember to reach me in this way." My grandfather spoke with

AriaI know that if I want my grandfather to help the Reynolds, I have to follow his teachings. I am scared for Manny but I know that he will never leave him to die. I will slowly coax him until he relents.My brother, although he has just been snatched back from the jaws of death. He is not quite happy to know that the Reynolds know the truth of our relationship. He has quite a weird way of viewing life this big brother of mine. "Seriously, gramps? Why did you bother clearing the misunderstanding? I was not done toying with that stupid mutt's feelings. I wanted to break him until his ego got washed away. Ugh, gramps, do I really have to eat now? That concoction of yours has sealed off my appetite for years to come." Jerry complains about everything in one go. Successfully leaving us all in stitches, even the twins giggle at their big uncles foolishness. "How would you have toyed with his emotions when you were both lying hald dead in the infirmary, dear child?" Gramps pronounces ea

AriaAfter shouting out to Luna Ella, I stomp away in anger. How do daughters function? How dare she just leave me for a dad she met barely five minutes? I need to take Allay home and find a gym. Otherwise, I might end up picking fights with innocent people. I wish I was not born a werewolf! Humans do not even bother about such silly familial ties! What makes it worse is the so-called mate bond. ARGH! What was the Moon Goddess thinking when she created soulmates and the wretched mate bond? I am truly not angry at my daughter. If I dare be honest, I am quite angry at my stupid heart! Seeing Manny shedding tears and admitting that he is a jerk, took a toll at me. What irks me the most is how muddle-headed I became at that particular moment. I wanted nothing but to throw myself into his arms and assure him that things would be okay. "Why are you berating yourself incessantly when you know that there is nothing you can do? This is how it has been since time immemorial. The fact that you

AriaAs I stand at by the lakeside, my gaze fixed on the bustling activity within the pack. My mind whirls with conflicting emotions, torn between the desire to protect myself and my children, and the lingering connection I'm beginning to feel towards Manny, their father. My wolf, Amirah, is pacing restlessly within me, the clash of our desires echoing within the deepest parts of my soul.Amirah, with her distinct blue eyes and regal air, nudges against my consciousness, her voice laced with determination. "Aria, you cannot deny the pull of the mate bond forever. Manny is the father of your pups, and there is a part of you that still cares for him. You cannot hide from that truth."My brow furrows as I turn my attention inward, contemplating Amirah's words. The bond we share allows for a deep connection and understanding between us, but I'm struggling to reconcile the hurt and betrayal I experienced at Manny's hands. I have built walls around my heart for self-preservation, afraid to

AriaAs the days roll by, my interaction with Manny is getting less awkward. The kids have warmed up to him and his whole countenance has changed. All day long he moves around with the brightest smile on his face. Of course, our relationship is more of friendship than mates. However, this is mostly due to my stubbornness, as my wolf says. The resentment I habored against him has since subsided but I am reluctant to accept him fully. Maybe it is just because my subconscious is safeguarding me from further disappointment. I have also been assisting him with the pack training, even though we have not truly gotten back together. Nonetheless, I have granted him full access to the kids. I thought he would take them for days but he insisted that whenever he is with the twins, I should be there. According to him, that helps in creating the family scene for our pups.Today. Jeremy has taken the twins out to the amusement park. He insisted that since I have chosen to give Manny a chance, I sho

Aria POV I guess that the time has come for me to show Connor that he is not as ahead as he assumes. After a discussion with Manny and Jerry, we all agreed that Connor needs a little scare. We all racked our minds and came up with a noble idea. Well, not quite that noble but I believe that it is a foolproof plan. The aim is to ruffle Connor's furthers. The idiot needs a nip in the bud. His wings have overgrown and he feels invincible. It is time that I pull him down from his high pedestal for once. "Guys, you both know that I am a hacker, right? Jeremy, you are even better than me. Let's do something a little crazy. Jeremy, destroy his firewalls for all his research facilities. We need to steal all the formulas he used in creating those mutated rogues" I almost yell as the idea comes to my mind. Both my brother and mate stare at me as if I have grown an extra head. "Why would you want that formula?" Jeremy asks, incredulity in his voice. "The rogues are just stray werewolves. They
