[Aera’s POV]

"This is just fucking great," I growl, staring down at the chains that clamp tightly around my wrists. "When I get my hands on that bastard, I’m going to kill him."

After being tricked and left wrapped in vines, it was easy enough for my father’s men to arrest Silas and me. Now, we were stuck in the same fucking cell that we helped Barren escape from with the same ability suppressing cuffs, so I was damn near human.

"If you had better judgment from the start, we wouldn’t be here," Silas points out, remaining too fucking calm for my liking. "Tell me again why you trusted him to begin with."

"Because Ayla trusted him," I respond immediately. "And since I swore I’d trust Ayla and her judgments, I let my guard down."

Growing quiet, I wait as Silas processes what I’ve said.

"And how does Ayla know him?"

For a moment, I’m not sure if he’s asking to see if I actually knew about their past, but when I don’t find any hints of ulterior motives, I realize that maybe Ayla never told

    [Aera’s POV]Silas and I stand to the side while Marah sits in the middle of what I now see is a pentagon with a map in front of her while chanting something in a foreign language. Soft light radiates around her, swirling like it’s on a wheel while growing brighter and brighter.When it begins to grow brighter, a segment of it breaks off and explodes into the air, then shoots down like an arrow, landing on the map, where I can only assume Ayla is located."Here," Marah announces, placing a blood-red nail on the spot that is now burned. "Is where our girl is."I remain in place as she slowly gets to her feet and begins to bow to each candle before blowing them out. Only once she is finished, she steps out and comes to join us."Do you recognize this area?" She asks, holding the map up so we can see the burn mark that her magic created. "It isn’t either of your territories, correct?""That’s right," I confirm, feeling my anger grow even more. "That’s elementalis territory."That bastard

    [Alphonze’s POV]Benny rolls me up to the front door and then lifts a finger to ring the bell. At first, it doesn’t seem like anyone is going to come, but then Corinna appears, looking confused by my sudden appearance."Alphonze?" She says, raising her brows. "What brings you here?""I came to see your brother," I explain. "Is he home?""Of course, please come in."Nodding, I motion for Benny to grab my chair and roll it in while Corinna disappears to find Barren."I don’t know how you roped me into doing this," he mutters once he’s sure we are alone. "Aera is going to kill me.""I’ll handle him," I counter. "Anyway, I don’t even know where that boy has gotten off to.""He’s probably busy trying to find the one responsible for your father’s death."Nodding, I try to ignore the sudden pang of pain I feel. Due to the corruption that was taking place around me, I didn’t have the time to try to mourn the loss of my father. Even if he wasn’t much of a parental figure, he was still the man

    [Aera’s POV]"Could you please drive faster? I know you’re old, but do you seriously have to drive like a grandpa?""I’m going as fast as the car will take us," Silas snaps, shooting me a glare in the rearview mirror. "If you’d like, you can fucking run there if I’m not going at the speed you want.""Man, I feel bad for Ayla," Marah sighs from the front passenger seat. "She is going to have to put up with both of you for the rest of her life."At her words, I shoot a glare but don’t bother responding.I turn my focus out of the window beside me and take in the scenery as it flies by. How long have we been driving now? An hour? Maybe two?‘More like thirty minutes,’ Rayze counters. ‘Your sense of time is horrible.’‘Shut up.’Each minute felt like a fucking eternity when I knew that Barren could be doing anything to Ayla. I needed to get to her and see with my own eyes that she was fine."This is as far as we go," Silas announces, pulling the car to the side of the road and cutting it

  • Alpha Aera   The Truth Behind Her Actions

    [Ayla's POV] I stare at Celia as she buries her face in her hands, trying to stop the tears that are flowing effortlessly now. Did she just say that Barren was the one behind everything she had done? But why and how did they even know each other? "Celia," I murmur, kneeling in front of her and grabbing her wrists so I could remove her hands from her eyes. "Could you tell me what happened?" I wait as Celia examines me, like she has forgotten that I am even there. "He," she begins, but stops as she thinks better of it. "No, I can't." "You can," I counter, unwilling to let this go. "Please, if he hurt you or forced you, you need to let me know so that I can right what is wrong." "Ayla, is it really you?" Celia whispers, fixing her golden gaze on mine. "This isn't an actual dream formed by my guilt, right?" "That's right," I confirm, giving her a gentle smile. "It's really me. I'm here." "I'm so sorry!" She wails, wrapping her arms around me. "I know it's all my fault that you're

    [Ayla's POV]"What did you just say?"Fear grips at my heart while I stare into Barren's eyes.No, there was no way that I was stupid enough to fall right into his fucking trap, and I even brought others in with me."Release them," I hiss through gritted teeth. "They're not involved in this.""But they are," Barren counters, turning his gaze toward the screens. "As long as they exist, they'll try to come between us, and I can't let that happen."Shit, he was crazy, but I couldn't let him achieve his goal. I had to do something to stop him before it was too late.Deciding that killing him was the best option I begin to move, extending my claws and baring my teeth."Stop."The word is like a fucking rope wrapping around my entire body, so I'm unable to move. Eyes widening, I look at Barren, who has a smug look on his face, while I struggle to break free of whatever the hell is holding me."I told you," he beams, moving forward and touching my face. "You won't be able to disobey me."No,

    [Aera’s POV]I surge forward, aiming for the first bastard that comes near me while Silas, Isabella, and Marah flank me. However, when I reach it, a wall of water forms in front of me and then slams into my body, sending me crashing backward.Cursing, I shake myself off and move again, this time managing to dodge the water so that I can pin him to the ground and wrap my teeth around his neck while he struggles to break free.‘Watch out!’ Isabella’s voice announces in my head.Giving a quick yank, I snap the wolf I’m fighting with's neck and turn in time to see fire rushing toward me, but before it can hit, a wall of ice appears and stops it.‘Thanks,’ I huff, getting up and turning to take in the scene around me.Everyone was in battle with someone, and they were moving like a unit, staying close to each other so no one could get too close.Satisfied that they would be fine, I find another victim and move, preparing to attack while staying on alert for some sort of elemental magic to

    [Ayla’s POV]I lean forward, trying to ignore the pain that shoots through me while the world fades in and out. I had told Barren to do his worst, and do his worst he did, leaving me battered and bruised and chained to a damn chair while he ran around who knew where.Grumbling to myself, I begin to pull at the chains around my wrists, but stop as the cold metal cuts into my skin, sending waves of agonizing pain through me.Fuck, this wouldn’t do. I couldn’t just stay here. I didn’t know how the others were or whether or not Barren had done something to them.Lifting my gaze, I take in the area around me, trying to determine if there was something I could use to try to pick the locks of my cuffs. When I spot a small pocket knife, I know it is exactly what I need. I just need to get to it.I begin to buck my body, attempting to bunny hop forward but only crashing to my side, sending more pain through me."Dammit," I growl, looking toward the weapon I need. "This won’t do. I can’t just s

    [Alphonze's POV]I remain in place, not daring to move as Barren's words echo around us. His purpose all along was to use Ayla in her lycan form to take out the elders. What a sick bastard.I needed to send a warning to them before Barren managed to get close, but I still didn't know where the hell Aera and Silas were."By the way," Barren announces, snapping me out of my head. "Your mate is no longer a hindrance."Aera? He was talking about Aera, right? What the fuck did he mean? Did he come here? If so, did Barren's wolves manage to overpower him?As my thoughts begin to swirl, a whimper escapes Ayla, and I'm sure her mind is going where mine is too, but she can't show her emotions due to having to continue this game with Barren."Don't look at me like that, baby," Barren murmurs as a snarl of warning escapes Ayla. "I've left him and the others alive for you to take care of later.""What the fuck have you done to them?" Benny growls, letting his temper overpower his sense of reasoni

    [Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean forward and nip at her ear, earning myself a small whimper and a shiver of delight."Sorry, you’re just really tense," I chuckle, lightening my massage.Since the triplets were due any day now, the doctor suggested that I help Ayla relax however I could, and since she requested a massage, I was more than willing to oblige. This was the least that I could do, given what she was about to go through. I knew childbirth was hard with just one child, but I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like with three."Why’d you stop?"Cursing, I look down to find Ayla’s big green eyes staring up at me, but I barely register them as I take in her huge belly.Smiling, I let my hands slide down her shoulders

    [Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything else. I was already horrible at social events due to being afraid of the judgmental eyes of others, especially when they compared me to my perfect twin sister. So to suddenly be alone with a man twice my age and handsome as hell, of course, I would feel weird. "S-sorry," I stammer, deciding that the only correct way to handle this was to run as quickly as I could. "I should…" "Wait," Alphonze hisses, holding up an arm as I attempt to sneak past him. "Just… wait a second." Frowning, I try to remain calm and not shove his arm away. As the heir of an alpha, I was strong, and my strength would easily be on par with Alphonze's, especially since he just regained his strength and power thanks to

    [Alphonze’s POV]I stand to the side, watching as everyone present for the evening enjoys themselves, laughing, dancing, and being merry. It had been a while since I had attended something like this, so it was taking a bit to get used to it again.The last time I came to a full moon ball was when I found Gloria. It was the day my whole life changed for the better and then for the worst.Immediately, memories of that day began to come crashing into me, from the falling of autumn leaves to the sounds of crickets that chirped around us. I was only twenty-one then and forced to attend the ball, so I found somewhere to hide to avoid being bothered until it was time to leave.Back then, I hated social events and only wanted to focus on my alpha duties, as I had just taken over for my father.After having my heart ripped out of my chest by Hana, I didn’t want a damn thing to do with things like love and mates. That was another reason I didn’t want to be at this damned ball: I risked finding

  • Alpha Aera   I Promise You

    [Aera's POV]Soft music drifts toward me as I stand to the side of the large ballroom, waiting for my date to arrive.Despite all the chaos that had been happening in our world, Silas and Alphonze insisted that we have a small, intimate gathering for the full moon as a way to relax and unwind after all the headache of cleaning up Barren's mess.That's why I was forced into an uncomfortable black tux with a purple vest beneath it and a white button-up beneath that and made to wait while Ayla was dolled up by Isabella and Celia."You look like someone killed your puppy," Alphonze chuckles, coming over to join me. "Try to loosen up, will ya?"As he speaks, I take him in while still thinking that this is some type of alternate universe.Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that my brother would be returned to the man he was before his accident, but here he was, standing in front of me, dressed in a white button-down with the sleeves pulled up so his strong, lean muscles could

    [Ayla's POV]The next day, I sit in the passenger seat of Aera's car, staring at Crimsone Tides Estate while fighting the urge to run away. When I entered that building, I'd be making the toughest decision of my life, and I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready.Beside me, Aera remains silent while holding my hand, so that soothing warmth radiates through me, but it doesn't do a thing to calm my nerves."We can go back," he offers, breaking the silence that has settled around us. "You don't have to do this so soon; you can...""No," I sigh, giving him a small smile. "This needs to be done. You didn't see him there. He's suffering, and despite making some ridiculous choices due to being tricked by my mother, he doesn't deserve to live like that."After much deliberation, I decided to grant my father's wish and put him out of his misery.To live your life trapped by the curse was no way to live, and as his daughter, I had an obligation to grant his request."Come on," I continue, gently pu

    [Aera's POV]I watch as Ayla turns around so that her ass is almost in my face while she begins to undo my pants and free my dick.From my point of view, I can see everything from her perfectly shaved pussy to her glistening lips and her throbbing clit, which is just begging for me to please it.However, with my hands cuffed above my fucking head, I couldn't do anything but continue to stare while she slowly took me between her lips so she could begin attacking my tip with her tongue."Fuck," I hiss, lifting my hips so she would swallow more of me. "That feels so fucking good."Giggling, she continues her attack while beginning to slide her body across mine until her thighs rest on either side of my face.'Eat me,' she growls through mindlink while wrapping a hand around my shaft and the other around my balls so she could drive me even crazier.Not needing to be told twice, I dip my tongue between her folds and begin to glide it up and down her clit while using my teeth to nip at her

  • Alpha Aera   Ease Her Mind

    [Aera’s POV]I remain in place, staring down at Ayla, who is fast asleep, as her face twists into a look of pain. I can’t help but wonder what exactly it is that she is going through there in the dream plain, where I can’t protect her. Did she find her father, and the result wasn’t what she expected? I wouldn’t know until she awoke and told me.Feeling utterly useless, I turn my gaze to Vince and begin to take him in. When Ayla introduced us, I pretended to not know him, but I remembered the great alpha he once was. To see him like this was painful, but it was proof that even the mightiest could fall, and when they did, they fell hard."I’m sorry," I murmur, feeling somewhat responsible for his condition.Maybe if all of us realized the corruption that was going on back then, this wouldn’t have happened, but we were all blinded, and in the end, we only realized when things were too late."Mmm."I snap my gaze away from Vince to find Ayla beginning to stir.Her bright green eyes slowly

Even though this place had always been my home, I wasn't back here for something pleasant.After mine and Celia's discussion, I made the choice to come home and see the man that haunted my dreams and try to see if I could help him.Of course, I had to wait a few days so that Brian and Gwen could be sure that everything was alright, and when I was released, Aera came to fetch me after I explained to him what I wanted to do."Ready?" He asks now, after a moment too long of standing in place. "Or have you changed your mind?""I haven't," I respond, snapping my gaze to the window of my father's room. "This is something that needs to be done.""And what if he is a hopeless cause?" Aera continues to push. "What do you plan to do then?""I'll figure that out when the time comes," I sigh, beginning to move."Welcome back," Aunt Lennox beams when we enter the estate. "I'm so happy you're alright."

  • Alpha Aera   Beg Her Forgiveness

    [Ayla’s POV]I sit alone in a bed, staring at the door in front of me, while the soft beeping of machines fills the silence around me. One had multiple little beeps as it was monitoring the baby's heartbeats, while the slow and steady one was my own.After dealing with the elders, I was rushed into the temple and taken to their medical wing so that Brian and Gwen could do a thorough examination on me and the babies to make sure that everything was fine after the ordeal I went through.Despite my protests, in the end I lost out and found myself bedbound.Sighing, I lean back and close my eyes, thinking maybe I could try to get some sleep, only to find that the noise makes it damn near impossible.Huffing, I snapped them open and turned my attention toward the small monitor that showed the babies heartbeats. I found myself taking comfort in the fact that their hearts beat strongly, as they should.It was the only reassurance I had right now, given the fact that Gwen had to go back to Cr
