AriaI have mixed emotions about my encounter with Wolfie. On one hand, I am happy that I have been able to put a face to my telepathically connected friend. Whereas on the other hand, I am a bit unsure of our friendship. It is undeniably weird. Yet, it feels just right.There is a greater reason why we are connected. I may not be able to understand it now, but I will find out. I have never been a believer in coincidence. I know for sure that there is a reason for all of this. I just do not know the reason yet.The one thing that is just so daunting is the feelings that were aroused in me when I snuggled closer to Wolfie. They are foreign and something that I have never experienced before. Could it be that I am not as normal as I deem myself to be? Why on earth would be I sexually attracted to an animal? What is wrong with me? I have to find out what it is before I lose my mind. All logic tells me to cut all connections to Wolfie, but my heart is against it. If I can be brutally hones
AriaOnce I start reading about the historical society of the Luminous Pack, I am stupefied. I so want to believe that these are all just tales, but I cannot deny the truth that is glaring right at me. It talks of the hierarchy of the pack. Apparently, these people are not even fully human! They are werewolves. Meaning they are half human and half wolf. The only consolation is that they spend most of their time in human form and only shift to their wolf form, occasionally.Cold and chilling fear grips me and all I want to do is bail and go as far from here as possible. However, the curious part of me wants to delve deeper into the secrets of this luxurious community. So, irrespective of the cold sweat I have due to fear, I continue reading. The Alpha is the leader and commands great power. The beta is second in command. He is also the alpha's right-hand man, followed by the gamma, who is third in command. The alpha's mate is called Luna and is also his equal. She holds equally the s
MannyExcitement. Complete, heartfelt excitement and gratitude are what filled my heart as I strolled back to my bedroom. I had come up with a foolproof plan to engage with my mate and it worked. Hearing her pleading with me to meet with her the next day, I was jubilant. I had a hard time controlling my emotions in her presence. Now that I am alone, I am grinning like a fool in sheer ecstasy. Taking a quick shower, I decide to go downstairs and get something to eat first. That will also give my mate some time to relax. I will reach out to her about an hour from now. Just as I dig in, Matt, my wolf decides to disturb my meal. He starts growling in my head and it gives me a headache. What he is saying through the growls is incoherent. "Calm down, Matt. I cannot hear you if you keep on growling. Tell me clearly what has got you on edge?""Mate is in danger! Go to mate. Willow tree."I do not need him to form any coherent sentences. What my wolf says is enough to get me worked up. I ha
AriaAfter finding out all I needed to about this so-called quaint community, my blood started to boil. The rage just possessed me and it was all-consuming. I left the library in a daze. Everything seemed to be so surreal and I was having a hard time composing myself. I am now just pacing up and down in the house unsure of what to do next. I have tried numerous times to reach Henna, but it seems she has no interest in picking up my calls. The frustration just adds fuel to my ever-growing rage. I have many questions but there is no one to ask. Who was that female who spoke right into my mind? What is her intention? How come I never once saw that section all the times that I have been to the library?I grab a cushion from the sofa and scream right into it. I cannot believe how my life just turned upside down. I remember being overjoyed to leave the South and come over to the West. My first impression of Hartland was quite good. However, we had to leave our very first home because of a
MannyWith every punch and kick I received from my mate, I felt a huge sense of loss. Initially, I thought that she just wanted to vent her frustrations. However, when she let out that chilling aura, the killing intent in her eyes was unmistakable. At that point, I felt as if I had lost her. That left me no choice but to try something abruptly. I turned into my wolf form and she stopped. I laid down just so that she would know that I meant her no harm. I could not help the whimpers. Physically, I was not hurt, but the emotional turbulence ran deeper. I felt a deep ache right at the very core of my heart. To me, everything Aria did, was akin to rejection. Any wolf knows the pain of rejection and no sane werewolf would ever opt for that. When she sat down and put my head on her lap, it soothed my pain a bit. However, the dent her adamant rejection left on my soul was almost irreparable. As an Alpha wolf, we tend to feel everything ten times more than the other wolves. I am lying her
Unknown POVSplendid! Things are slowly developing in the right course. Surprisingly, not much effort was needed from me. I wonder why there is any disparity between the dwellers of this universe. Beast or human, they are all the same. They have the same desires.The love of power and wealth. The desire to possess unfathomable power and accumulate a ridiculous amount of wealth. It is both amusing and somewhat, pitiful. It amuses me because it is the same weakness among humans and supernatural beings alike. Even more so because it has been the same from days of yore. I feel pitiful because greed has always been their downfall as well. That dates back to those who passed before them. So, I pity their lack of either foresight or hindsight. It is as if they never learn that it is an unattainable and lofty goal. No one can attain such tremendous power and wealth and still hold on to their humanity. Wealth and power only corrode the conscience and corrupt the mind. But hey, who am I to w
Manny"Luke Reynolds, it has been three days since my son turned into his wolf and still refuses to shift back. I don't care whatever method you intend to use. I need my son back! Even if you have to use your alpha command on him, so be it!"My mother's wails bombard my ears. I can hear her and I feel her heartbreak but what to do? I have no desire to shift back at all. My mate feels close to my wolf form than my human form. Therefore, it is only fair that I grant her wishes."Ella, please calm down my dear. He will shift back soon."I can tell my father is also broken but he is trying his best to soothe mom. However, mom counters and her tone is agitated and vicious."Calm down you say? How can I calm down? You know very well that if this lasts for a week, his human side will eventually be dominated by his wolf side. He can become feral and a danger to everyone! What will you do then? Put him down because you will have no other choice? Let me tell you this now, that will be over my d
AriaIt breaks my heart every time I see the big black wolf lying motionlessly on the bed. I can sense that he has no desire to return to reality any time soon.Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one who can see through his deceit. Everyone else believes that he is unconscious. However, I cannot be fooled. My master taught me all these breathing techniques a while ago. Since he has decided to guilt trip everyone, I intend to see how long he can hold up. Of course, I am not going to be villainous and expose him. To a certain extent, I am quite amused by his shamelessness. The size of his wolf and the antiques he's playing are just hilarious. How dare he throws such a tantrum?At first, even I believed him, and del quite awful for what I did to him. However, during the first night, when I snuggled closer to him, I picked up a flaw in his breathing. That is how I discovered his little secret. Everyone has been glaring at me with either hatred or resentment, especially when I ensure t
AriaIn the aftermath of the fierce battle that has shaped our destiny, myself, embodying resilience and transformation, stand amidst the ruins, as a beacon of hope for the weary souls of the Luminous Pack and the werewolf community. Battered and broken, yet I have refused to let my pain define me, emerging as a symbol of strength and resilience.As the dust settles and the scent of victory mingles with the lingering smoke, the werewolves gather around me in awe of my unwavering spirit. My journey has been a testament to the indomitable will of the human spirit and the power of rewriting one's own destiny.Henna, my adoptive mother, emerges from the crowd, her eyes reflecting pride and admiration. She has witnessed my transformation, from a fractured and downtrodden soul to the fierce warrior who defied the odds. In this moment, I can tell that Henna feels a renewed sense of purpose. A warm glow of love and acceptance that transcends the scars of the past.Within the embrace of her mat
Aria"You slashed little brother Willie's head with one swift move. Unfortunately, I am going to use this blunt knife to cut yours off. I am going to savour every moment of it. I will be looking right into your eyes. I will forever remember your pain, your fear and your helplessness. I want you to never be wicked again in your next life. That is if you will ever get a chance to be reborn."I do not move my gaze from Connor's fear stricken eyes. I am not going to be compassionate with scum like him. Otherwise, I will never be reconciled in this lifetime if I don't make him go through a pain much worse than he subjected me to. In fact, everything I am giving him will never comapre to the pain he subjected me to. This man broke me. In his hands, I was Battered and Broken Yet I remained Invincible. This idiot and left me for dead but I somehow survived. I believe my survival was for a reason and this reason was for me to live to get rid of scum like Connor from this universe. I start cu
Manny POVIn the heart of the night, I am suddenly startled into wakefulness by a reverberating growl. My heart starts pounding and something about that powerful growl tugs at my Heartstrings and stirrs my wolf, Matt. This guy has been giving me the cold shoulder lately and only perks his ears if it is anything to do with our mate, Aria."Aria!" I shout out loud springing out of bed, not bothering to dress up. I contemplate running in wolf form towards doctor Boyce's house where Aria and our twins are currently residing. But I go on and take the stairs three at a time. A sense of urgency propelling me forward. When I reach the doctor's residence, I catch a glimpse of my mate's majestic and rare blue wolf, leaping towards the forest. I stare at this awe inspiring rare breed of a wolf and momentarily forget about the urgency that made me rush here.Only after her magnificent wolf disappears into the deep of the forest do I Snape out of my dazed state. I still cannot shake out my shock.
Connor's POVWatching as the battle rages on, I stare into the darkness, my heart heavy with regret and trepidation. From the shadows, I observe the chaos unfolding before me, my once mighty army being decimated by Aria and her allies. Limbs are flying through the air. My soldiers' bodies a being torn and strewn across the forest floor, the chosen battlefield for this bitter confrontation.It all started with Vornt's ill-conceived plan to kidnap Aria's daughter. I cannot help but shake my head, my mind is haunted by the memory of that fateful decision. Standing beside Vornt, I had agreed to the idea, believing it to be a strategic move that would cripple our enemy's spirit. But I now realize the grave mistake we have made.Our initial plan was to attack with stealth, utilizing the dark spellcasters to incapacitate the warriors gathered in the formidable Luminous Pack. It seemed foolproof at the time, a way to gain the upper hand without risking a full-blown battle. But Vornt, driven b
AriaThe soft, yet insistent voice of Allay, my little boy, has abruptly interrupted my slumber. Bleary-eyed and disoriented, I stumble out of bed, following the guidance of my little boy's voice echoing through the darkened hallways of our home. There is a growing sense of dread within me as I hurry towards Harmony's room.As I push the door open, my heart seizes in my chest. The sight before me makes my blood run cold. The bed is empty, Harmony is nowhere to be found. Panic spreads through my veins as I desperately scan the room, searching for any sign of my beloved baby girl.Allay, only two years old and unable to articulate the events that had unfolded, can only call out his sister's name repeatedly, with a mixture of fear and confusion. His tiny voice breaks my heart, amplifying my urgency and desperation.But just as despair threatens to consume me entirely, a glimmer of hope materializes in the form of my grandfather. Gramps returns with Harmony cradled safely in his arms, her
Author's POV The Luminous Pack is thrumming with life as Manny and Aria keep a careful watch over their family. The recent confrontation with Connor has heightened their vigilance, and they have taken every measure to ensure the safety of their children. But unbeknownst to them, within the depths of the pack's territory, unseen and undetected, the malevolent presence of Vornt lurks, his hatred fueling his insidious plans.Vornt's knowledge of masking his aura has always served him well, allowing him to operate in shadows. But his fear of the legendary blue wolf, Amirah, Aria's wolf, gnaws at the corners of his mind. He knows that crossing paths with her would ultimately unleash her righteous fury, and he understands the consequences that await him. What the Luminous Pack did not expect was for Vornt to act rashly. Driven by his belief in his own cunning nature, Vornt dismisses his fears, convinced that seizing one of Aria's twins would cripple her resolve and bring her and her wolf
AriaAs we move away from beneath the watchful gaze of the willow tree, our determination burns brighter than ever before. The secrets that had burdened me for so long have now been shared, strengthening the bond between us and fueling our resolve to confront the malevolence that haunts our lives. Yes. Our lives because Manny is an essential part of me. My burdens are his as well.In the days that follow, Manny and his family reach out to their allies, assembling a united front against Connor and the demon wizard. The Luminous Pack has pledged their support already. Jeremy and the family will always stand steadfast by my side. My grandfather, Mtungagore, the Azanian warlock, will never leave my side until he knows that all threats have been eliminated. Altogether, we gathered a formidable coalition of supernatural beings who share a common goal: to bring down the nefarious forces that threaten our existence.I was not there in the previous war against the demon wizard. However, I have
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
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
