Alpha Aera Imprisoned
[Ayla's POV]I stare out the window of Aera's car trying to fight the urge to ask him exactly what is going through his head.Since leaving Crimson Tides, neither of us had spoken, which would have been fine, but there were so many unasked questions hovering around us that it was about to drive me insane."Why?" I finally ask, unable to take it any longer. "Why are you doing this?""Doing what?" Aera murmurs, keeping his gaze fixed directly on the road. "I don't know what you mean."I bite back my initial response, which would only make him defensive, while clenching and unclenching my fists to remain calm.Keep it together, Ayla. I chant internally while taking a few calming breaths."Why aren't you turning me into the elders?" I continue. "Why take me to Caelum instead?"When he found me associating with Marah, I truly thought that this was it for me. Aera would turn me in to the elders for treason, and then I would be thrown in a cell to rot. But instead, here we were playing fake
Alpha Aera The Good In A Bad Situation
[Ayla's POV]I pull out my phone, which Aera had so generously allowed me to keep since the cell service around Caelum was jammed around the premises, and search up some music. Once a song that has recently been popular begins to play, I begin to sing along.However, before I can get too far into removing the packed on layers of dust, the sound of locks being unlocked reaches my ears.Turning, I wait until Aera appears with a woman dressed in a simple gray shirt and black pants with her dark hair tied into a bun at the top of her head appears.For a moment, they both eye me as I wait for an explanation for the sudden intrusion."What are you doing?" Aera finally asks, breaking the silence."Isn't it obvious?" I respond, motioning to the area I've already cleaned. "This place is filthy, so I was giving it a clean. I'm assuming I'm going to be trapped here for some time, so I'm trying to make it feel more homey."Once again, Aera and the woman simply eye me as if I'm this strange creatu
Alpha Aera In My Dreams
[Aera's POV]Ayla's words haunt me as I leave her and head back to Caelum's packhouse. I don't understand why, but they leave a bad taste in my mouth and leave me on edge as I head upstairs for my nightly visit with Alphonze.When I find him, he is sitting in front of the window, staring down at the grounds below."Who is she?" He asks in the way of greeting."Who is who?" I ask, moving forward and wrapping an arm around him to help him from the chair he sits in to his bed. "I don't know who you're referring to.""Aera!" he sighs, his voice filled with warning. "Don't play dumb with me.""I'm not," I counter, easily lifting Alphonze and wincing due to just how light he truly is. "Anyway, why did Martin leave you alone in that chair, knowing damn well that you're unable to get out of it yourself?"The thought of firing Martin on the spot hits me, but I know damn well that Alphonze wouldn't allow it.For years, we searched for a caregiver that meshed well with Alphonze's personality, an
Alpha Aera Leave Him Wanting More
[Ayla’s POV]A low growl erupts from Aera’s throat as his quickly darkening eyes take me in with both hunger and hesitance.Despite being aware of the fact this was nothing more than a dream, he was still holding back, interesting. But if this were easy, then it wouldn’t be fun, and I loved a good challenge."Do you not want me?" I pout, feigning hurt.For a moment, Aera’s expression shifts, and he sits up, giving a huff as if snapping out of some daze, giving me the perfect chance to attack.Getting to my knees, I push my bare chest against his back, being sure to gently rub it as my arms reach around so my hands can touch his broad chest with the right amount of hair sprinkling across it.Goddess, he was gorgeous, and even if this was nothing more than revenge for him using me in some fucking bet, I still intended to get my fill of this man."Come on," I whisper, nipping at his ear while one of my hands heads south. "Are you really going to deny a woman who is all but throwing herse
Alpha Aera His Request
[Ayla’s POV]My eyes snap open, allowing morning light to attack them, so I have to blink a few times to clear my vision.Once I can see, I hop up in bed and head toward my window, extending my senses until I can hear Aera cursing.Smiling brightly, I feel a wave of satisfaction rush through me, knowing he was probably in a lot of pain. However, before I can really let myself get lost in my gloating, my stomach rumbles.Giving Caelum Estate one more look, I turn and head to the kitchen, then begin to rummage in the fridge until I find some eggs that Angelica brought over the night before.Pulling them out, I begin to search through the cabinets lining a small gas-burning stove until I find a pan.Humming to myself, I begin to fry up the eggs while brewing up some coffee, and once my breakfast is ready, I prepare to plop down on my bed to eat, but stop as the sound of locks unlatching reaches me.Frowning, I sit my spoils down on the kitchen counter and head to the door just in time fo
Alpha Aera The Beginning Of A Shift
[Aera's POV]I stare down at my blanket, which is covered in cum, cursing Ayla fucking Jameson for being the one responsible for this happening.'But was it her?' Rayze chuckles, purposely flashing an image of Ayla completely naked and covered in sweat across my mind. 'She isn't responsible for what your perverted brain comes up with.''Shut the fuck up,' I growl, pushing him away while I rip up my now ruined blanket."Fucking seductress," I huff before storming into the bathroom and hopping in the shower. "She's like a damn spirit that has attached itself to me."Trying to not remember that hot damn dream, I turn on the water and let it beat down on my head while I close my eyes. However, that ends up being a terrible idea as Ayla chained up with her legs spread wide open, so I have the perfect view of her soaked core and swollen clit flashes in my mind, causing my dick to throb with desire that can't be eased by the one responsible for making it like that.Cursing, I reach down and
Alpha Aera Attempt To Harm
[Ayla’s POV]When we arrive at the academy for my training, I scurry out of the car and quickly go around to Alphonze’s side and pull open the door while Aera heads around back to pull out his wheelchair. Once he has it set up, I begin to reach in to help Alphonze but stop as Aera’s hand clamps on my shoulder."What?" I ask, trying to ignore the delicious energy I feel from where Aera touches me. "Do you need something?""I’ll help him," Aera responds easily. "You’ve done enough."Frowning, I simply nod and take a step back to watch as Aera easily lifts Alphonze out of the car and sits him in his seat. After he is settled in, I prepare to grab his chair and roll him to the training field, but am beat by Aera."I told you I’d help him," Aera repeats, shooting me a look. "Shouldn’t you go ahead and get ready for training?"Instantly, a smile begins to spread across my face as I finally realize what has been bugging Aera since we left Caelum Estate.When we piled into the car and took of
Alpha Aera An Odd Yearning
[Aera’s POV]What was I doing? Why was I doing this? Why the hell was I going this far to disprove the truth about the relationship between Ayla and me?It was because anytime I touched her, something came over me, and all I wanted was to possess her and claim her. What the fuck was this? What in the actual hell was wrong with me?"Mmph."Hands touch my chest and push hard enough to snap me out of the fucking daze I find myself getting lost in.Pulling away, I stare down into Ayla’s dark eyes. I take in her flushed cheeks, and despite myself, I let my gaze dip down to take in her cleavage, which is rising and falling rapidly as she works to collect her breath."What the hell are you doing?" She hisses, her gaze narrowing. "Did you forget that we’ve got an audience?"Her words are like a bucket of ice-cold water that clears the last bit of the haze that I’m stuck in.Cursing, I take in all the students that are watching us, waiting for more of a show, but they won’t be getting it."As

Alpha Aera BONUS CHAPTER 3: Til Goodbye
[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
Alpha Aera BONUS CHAPTER 2: Take A Long Trip
[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
Alpha Aera BONUS CHAPTER 1: A Second Chance
[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
Alpha Aera Grant His Wish
[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
Alpha Aera Mark Me
[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
Alpha Aera His Wish
[Ayla's POV]I stand in front of Crimson Tides Estate while my stomach churns and my heart races. 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
