JerryI have never been so enraged in my entire life as I feel right now. My little sister has suffered too many injustices all by herself. I am angry at myself for leaving her behind, and I am angry at everyone who wronged my baby sister. Let me not even get started on Willie's case. My baby brother was slaughtered like a chicken and Aria was forced to witness such a gruesome murder. I cannot wait anymore. I have to get justice for my siblings. Connor and all his cronies have to go. Completely disappear from the face of the earth. Then I will hunt down that Manny Reynolds and make him have a taste of my wrath. I will not kill him but I am going to make his life worse than death. "Argh!""Calm down, my dear. You have to hold on to your rationality, else you will make a colossal mistake. If you go in search of Connor, in this state, he will have an advantage over you. Acting in anger has never been the best solution. What's done is done and it cannot be undone. You should at least l
Unknown After getting the message about the situation in the Luminous Pack, Henna wanted to leave as soon as she could. However, Jerry stalled her proposing that they would all travel together. Although he strongly despised Manny and the whole Luminous Pack, he knew that he could not keep his niece and nephew away from their people for too long. That is why he purchased the largest manor he could find on the marketing Hartland. Apparently, he had another reason for moving nearer the Luminous Pack territory. He wanted to find his sister's mate, Manny, and teach him an unforgettable lesson. He wanted Manny to know that he messed with the wrong girl. However, after hearing about Manny's plight, he felt oddly satisfied. That was the best retribution. At least he can focus on Connor without worrying about Manny. The universe has already dealt him a verifying blow. "Ha! Who said that there is no retribution in this world?" Jerry snorted as he wheeled Master Gao out of the private hospi
UnknownJerry has been holding a grudge against Manny for a while. Not only Manny, but everyone who made his sister cry was an enemy of his. He wanted to help his sister vent her rage. That is why he has been hellbent on seeking retribution for Aria. He knew that as her mate, Aria would be lenient with Manny. That is why he took matters into his own hands.What no one noticed was the fact that the seemingly gentle-looking visitor was busy scoffing at their so-called tight security. Although he seemed like he was only tapping on his laptop, Jerry was actually meddling with their security system. In no time, he had disabled the Luminous Pack security system. "Although I managed to disable their security system easily, I must commend them as well. I would have had a hard time if I did not have my guys inside this pack. No wonder they are the largest pack in the world. They are quite deserving. Their only downside is their pomposity. Ha! Today I will teach this young alpha never to break
UnknownMeanwhile, in the clearing near the crystal clear creek, an intense battle between a wolf and a human raged on. The onlookers were both baffled and intrigued. They had never seen a human who could hold his own against an alpha wolf. Not only could he stand his ground, but he was handing it to Manny left, right, and center. The pitch-black wolf pounced on Jerry. Fangs bared, ready to deliver a fatal blow. Jerry sneered and crouched. The moment Manny reached him, he was aimed for the jugular. In his couched position, Jerry scoffed and delivered a heavy punch to the wolf's belly. Sending the humongous wolf hurtling to the huge willow tree."Who said a feral wolf will not turn back to his human form? Let me see if you won't shift back once I have hurt you enough." Jerry spoke in a low voice but loud enough for Manny to hear. To add insult to injury, he even dusted his hands, implying that punching Manny had dirtied his hands. The onlookers were all stunned at his unabashed mocke
MannyAlthough I cannot turn back to my human form, I still retained my consciousness. I have always known that if I allow Matt, my wolf, to suppress me, there was not going to be a chance for me to be saved. Yes, I have been yearning to just go feral and be killed. Yet, the few times I would think of Aria, I fought for my consciousness to not be corroded. A part of me hopes to meet her again in this lifetime. I guess this is the only reason my sanity did not get completely shredded. I have been locked up for almost a week now, yet even with silver chains, my body refuses to change back to human form. I have since resigned to my fate. However, for some reason, today, I feel especially restless. Another shocking thing is the fact that Matt has been fighting me for dominance. As if the heavens are granting my wish, the silver gates slide open on their own. Without wasting any time, I jump out and let out a ferocious growl. None of the guards dare intercept my escape. They know better
AriaPacing up and down the corridor of the infirmary, I cannot help but sigh in exasperation. I know that I am vengeful but my brother exceeds me by leaps and bounds. The idiot just had to vent his anger on Manny. Honestly, sometimes I feel as if I am the oldest sibling. What is wrong with keeping a low profile? Did he honestly think that the mate bond would affect me? Even if it means hurting myself in the process, I was still going to make Manny pay dearly. Now this brother of mine has just taken away my chance to do so. Argh! Had he not been comatose, I would have smacked his thick skull for stealing my thunder!A mixture of rage and sadness mars my countenance. Enraged because my brother stole my show and sad because he got hurt in the process. Although I want Manny to pay for what he did to me, deep down, I have no disdain for him. It is just that my pride cannot let it go. After all, my wolf, Amirah, is quite vengeful as well.Truly, I am not even sure if I would have managed
Unknown As the Reynolds watched how much the twins resemble Manny, shame washed over them. However, when they concluded that Aria and the human were a couple, despair enveloped their hearts. How could they not feel such an immense amount of despair when their offspring are being raised by another man? To top it off, the man is just a mere human who despises their kind! To them, the twins are already lost. They know that the human laws would not give them a chance to fight for the custody of the twins. What's even worse is the fact that Aria would never give them the chance after all they did to her. This can probably be described as their worst ever failure. I cannot help but gloat at their desperation. They are so engrossed in their self blame that none of them has recovered from their initial shock. Although Aria has explicitly commanded them to send the two injured men to the infirmary, it has taken ages for them to react. To an extent, she felt that the Reynolds deserved every
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
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
