Unknown I have spent a decade trying to devise a foolproof plan to exact my revenge on Connor. Everything that this man did to me has left a bruise in my heart that refuses to heal. Although a lot happened in my absence, I kept my ear on the ground for any news pertaining to Connor and everyone around him. Although the idiot believes that his heinous crimes are well concealed, I still caught wind of them. I may be considered young but I have managed to create my own underground intelligence network. As long as I put my mind to it, I can uncover anything. Even stuff that people think are secrets they will carry to the grave. That is what happens when you are dealt a heavy blow at a young age. You are forced to grow up before time and you learn to face your demons head-on. Especially when the people who are supposed to protect you turn around and exploit you instead. I roamed the streets until a well-wisher took me in and gave me an education. Not to brag but the truth is I am an i
Aria I felt quite relieved when the old man with the terrifying aura stopped Connor from taking Theo. As the paramedics were wheeling him away, I followed closely busy devising a way to take him away with me. How could I not, when I have just discovered that he is my biological father? You can all imagine how relieved I feel at this moment. At least I know I am not related to that murderer. I can kill him with no regrets now. There is something odd about the other paramedic. I cannot place it but I feel oddly connected to him. I know that it cannot be the mate bond. Although I left my mate, we never rejected each other. Although I have felt him betray me, I know that our bond is still intact. I really wish I was raised as a werewolf. It would make things easier for me. I would have long understood the connection I am feeling with this man. I have tried to scrutinize his features but I do not recognize him. I wonder who he is. Anyway, I will get to know. It did not take me long to
AriaWhat the fuck was the moon goddess thinking when she paired me with that dimwit, Manny Reynolds? He has been nothing but a prick and even in my absence, he is still freaking making my life miserable! I was still trying to come around the fact that my brother is alive when a pain like no other caused me to double up. It was terrible and I could barely breathe. It felt as if my heart was being pierced by a thousand glass shards. My brother reacted quickly and deflated my fall. He picked me up and made me lie down in the guest room. It took about twenty minutes before the pain subsided. I was drenched in sweat and breathing in quick succession. "What the heck just happened? Are you alright? You could barely breathe properly, Aria. Please tell me you are alright?" My brother was genuinely worried for me. It made my heart swell with so much emotion. Looking up at my brother, I smile ruefully but still decide to tell him the truth. I know he is truly my long-lost brother and I know
Aria"When I left home, I had one thought in mind. To grow strong and be able to protect my siblings. I regret leaving them behind.I loved my parents and my two younger siblings just as much. In my ten-year-old mind, I had a lot of dreams. I dreamt of a happy family but alas, that was where it ended. Dreams. One night, I overheard my mother and father arguing. Although they tried to keep their tones low, I still heard bits and pieces of that argument. It became so heated that I had no choice but to inch closer to their bedroom door and eavesdrop. What I heard shook me to the core. I might have been relatively young but I understood the words cheating, affair, and children out of wedlock. I could not believe my ears. My father was accusing my mother of cheating and he was implying that among the three of us, some were not his children. My initial reaction was anger. I was so angry at my mother for cheating on our father. However, my shock only intensified as the argument carried o
Manny These past few months have been quite confusing. First, my mate left without saying a word, and three months later, she returned with a heartrending story. However, a lot has changed about her. Her scent is off and her mark changed. I am the one who marked her and I know what my mark looks like. However, the mark she bears now is hideous and it gives me chills. Of course, given her detailed story of what she went through, I can understand the changes in her. The irony of it is that Scarlet is the one who saved my Aria. To think that it took banishing her from the lack for her to only go and rescue my mate. Life is surely full of surprises. When Scarlett tried to deceive me, I hurt her so badly and later on vanished her. However, barely six weeks down the line, she returned and I had no choice but to accept her. I recall that day as vividly as if it was yesterday. Scarlett was stopped by the patrol when she demanded to see my father, the then alpha of the luminous pack.
Unknown "ARGH!" Manny let out a blood-curdling scream just as everyone gathered for lunch, startling all the pack members to their core.He screamed again and doubled over in pain. Only then did everyone snap out of their daze and rush to his aid. Beads of sweat were gathered t his brow and his breathing was rapid. "What is wrong, son? Talk to me, Manny, darn it!" Alpha Luke Reynolds sounded distressed. However, even if Manny wanted to respond, he could not. The pain had rendered him speechless. "Ben, please carry him to the infirmary while calling the elders! " The alpha was frantic as he issued orders. Before Ben could even get up from his chair, warrior Levi was already by the door carrying a groaning Manny. He could not leave his nephew in the hands of a budding warrior. Besides, being the greatest warrior in the whole realm, he was much more composed than the rest of the wolves present. With superhuman speed, he reached the infirmary in record time. No one would think that
MannyIt has been almost seven months since my mate cheated on me. Yet, I still cannot understand the reason why I feel so joyful and content. Every day that has passed since then, my joy only increases. The elders could not understand me and they viewed my behavior as odd, yet they can only watch in helplessness. As for Aria, even though the sparks are there, they are quite faint. I have a feeling that the pain she caused me is eating away at our mate bond. It has become so bad that at times I cannot help but feel as if I am living with a completely different person. Although when we first met she was feisty and aggressive, she was a softy at heart. I know that because she loved her mother so dearly. However, after she returned, she has become cold and manipulative. She has even stopped interacting with her mother. It is quite battling, to say the least. My heart is no longer with her. If I dare be honest with myself, she has been nothing but a headache for me. Initially, I att
Aria When one is happy, time flies in a breeze. I can barely believe that the twins are already learning to stand. It has been a blissful time for me. It feels as if the universe is making it up to me. All the pain and misery feel like a distant memory. The joy I have been experiencing is so much that it overflows. How can I not be happy when everything has finally fallen into place? Before I gave birth to my twin babies, I met my brother Jeremy. He came at a time I needed him the most and in turn rescued our father. Seeing the man who was broken and lost the light in his eyes regain his vigor and love for life, makes me the happiest daughter alive. Theodore or Rabid Wolf turned out to be my biological father. When Jerry rescued him, dad was shattered. We honestly thought that there was no hope for him. It took months of hospitalization and healing from my wolf Amirah for him to heal completely. I did not know that Amirah is also a healer. I just thought that my wolf was a merc
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.

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
