AriaWhat the heck am I hearing? Does this foolish mutt want to imprison me? For what? I cannot help the self-deprecating smile that creeps onto my face. I wonder what happened to him in the bathroom. To think that I was here talking about accepting him. I just called his parents and the elders to explain to them why it might take a while for me. I just wanted to let them know that I have decided to befriend Manny.For a person like me, that is a huge sacrifice. I prefer to be alone. I detest attachments. Hence, proposing a friendship is quite a huge step for me. Here he is out for my blood. What exactly happened to him in that bathroom?Truth be told, I am feeling somewhat, hurt by his actions. It is quite a foreign feeling for me. I have not felt anything for anyone else in a long time and this is the first. Well, I do not blame him. I blame myself for letting my guard down. Had I not entertained the idea of warming up to Manny, his words would not be hurting me now. It is because
AriaHow I wish I comprehended the ways of the supernatural beings! If only I had taken the time to learn their ways, I would not have been in this predicament. However, not all hope is lost. I can use this time to gather enough information on them as possible. The reason why I am in this place is not even sensible at all. It has made me believe that there must be something unnatural happening to Manny. I am not a superstitious person but I think I have become a believer now.Who would not, in my situation? Firstly, we move thousands of miles away, only to land in the heart of supernatural beings. If that is not enough for anyone to believe, then wouldn't I be considered utterly lost?According to the little knowledge I have on werewolves, a mate can never hurt their other half. In fact, they would rather die than turn against their mate. So, would I be considered crazy if I begin to believe that Manny is not himself?As incredulous as the idea is, I am convinced that my mate is being
AriaI know that I will never be able to thank Ben enough. This flash disk he brought for me is a deep well of insightful information. I am eternally grateful for what he has done for me. Now, I have a clear understanding of the ways of the supernatural world. It has a lot of information on all the supernatural races. I can safely say that I have grasped a lot of basic principles and even some in-depth understanding of this world. According to everything that happened lately, I am very certain that sorcery is at work here. Someone somewhere is altering our emotions. Particularly me and Manny. With the little, I know about him, he would never wish for me to be subjected to this kind of humiliation. Therefore, him locking me up in this crammed-up dungeon, can never be his choice. Well, it appears as if it is his own doing, but I am choosing to believe otherwise. I have already made a promise to myself to be on his side. Even though he is not in the right frame of mind to see things c
AriaCrimson, raw rage is what I feel right now. Just looking at the smugness in Connor's eyes in the picture, I feel murderous. I want to wipe off everything to do with him. Then the idiot I got mated to decided that it was best to imprison me! That is a derailment that I would do anything to avoid. I have a mission to accomplish and Manny decides to be a hindrance to my progress. How dare he? My anger is justified. Everyone around makes me angry. The ones who are supposed to protect me, always end up exploiting me. How then can I not be angry? I am bound to be upset. The name Connor leaves a very vile taste in my mouth. He is the reason for all my hurt and anger. He is behind all the physical and emotional scars that I carry. The one man that I looked up to and loved wholeheartedly, was the very person who damaged me. Sometimes I wish that I never regained my memory. I wish that I had no recollection of my past and what was done to me. I thought I was strong enough to let go of t
Unknown POVAria. My blissfully ignorant personal person. Her name is intriguing to me. It has various meanings in different languages. For some, it means melody. To others, it signifies nobility and a lioness in another lingo. It suits her best. Whoever gave her this name, must have had a deeper foresight. She is as pleasing as music, aloof as a noble aristocrat, and as fierce as a lioness. When it comes to protecting her own, she is unapologetically aggressive. Surely, the moon goddess knew who to pair me with. I honestly could have never asked for another human.She suits my criteria and I know that when she fully embraces me, we will achieve greater heights. I am meant to be a leader and she is perfect. I am not fazed by the fact that despite all the hints, she has not caught on to the truth. It is not time yet to reveal the truth to her. She will most likely bolt if she discovers that she is also a werewolf.How naive of her! I am quite enjoying myself here. She has no notion of
AmirahAs much as I want to protect Aria from the reality of her identity, I still have to tell her eventually. I only wish she had not been kept in the dark for so long. Had she been aware of her real identity, I would have protected her from all the suffering.How then do I tell her that she is the same as the very species that she despises from the core of her heart? She believes that I am some last from the pack who enjoys talking to her. She has not even figured out that she heard my voice in her head be I am part of her. Will, she still entertain me if she knows that I am her wolf? Will she embrace her true identity or she will continue fighting it? She has questions that I can easily answer but will she be able to take the truth?Argh! This is so frustrating! I am a wolf and I am good at taking down my enemies. I am not good at consoling people. Why did the goddess have to give me such a difficult task? Since she seems comfortable with me, I do not want her to start resenting
AriaEven though the lady has been silent for a long, I can still feel her presence. I know that she is just a stranger with that I have a connection, but oddly enough, I feel her around me.Well, this is difficult to explain but that is how I feel. I feel as if she is in deep thought which is why I do not want to disturb her. Also, I have this weird feeling that she knows something that she is deliberately keeping from me.Well, since I am a prisoner here, I have all the time in the world. I will wait for her to finish her pondering and talk to me. She might have spaced out but it is consoling to know that she is still with me. Whether she is a wolf or not, I am just glad to have her around. Come to think of it, these werewolves are not at all downright bad. Most of them are actually warm and accommodating.If that was not the case, I would not have made friends at all with this pack of wolves. Take Ben, for instance, he has been risking facing his alpha's wrath just to help me. He
AmirahWhoever said that silence is inactive, has no knowledge of its power. It is only when one is silent that one can have time to calculate things. Even in arguments, the one who is the loudest is the most irrational. This is what I just have done now. I assured my little human of my presence then went on to keep silent, making sure she knows that I am still here for her. She also falls into deep contemplative silence and looks at how much good it has done. She has time to reflect on everything. She has even decided to accept her role in all this.I guess I was fretting for nothing. She is stronger than what I gave her credit for. Truly, my little human is actually a super girl. On her own, Aria has managed to piece the puzzle together. She is intelligent enough to discern the truth of what is happening here. Even I agree with her speculation. I have been sensing very dark energy around the pack for a while now. So, Aria is not wrong at all. Darkahic is at work here and we have
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
