Alpha Aera Burn The Cabin Down
[Aera’s POV]I wait as Ayla’s eyes flit from me to something on the bed behind her. Whatever it is, it’s clear she doesn’t want me to see it, and that just spurs me to want to know what it is even more.Not speaking, I move forward while Ayla goes on alert, jumping in my way and holding up her arms."What are you doing?" she demands as I peer over her shoulder and see something red on the plain white sheets. "Why are you even here? Shouldn’t you still be with your friend?""I was," I confirm, eyeing Ayla. "But I heard a scream, and as the master of this place, it is my job to check things out.""Now that you’ve checked and seen that things are fine, you can go," Ayla counters, not backing down."Are they?" I ask, turning my attention to Angelica since she was the one who screamed. "Don’t worry, you can say whatever you want; she won’t touch you."For a moment, Angelica remains silent as her eyes flit from me to Ayla and then back."It’s…""I STARTED MY PERIOD!" Ayla shrieks. "I ruined
Alpha Aera Saved By The Yell
[Ayla's POV] My core throbs as Aera's hot breath, strong body, and obvious erection attack all my senses. Fuck, this man was dangerous, and he was right; when he was near me, all I could think about was how damn good it felt to be touched, teased, and fucked by him. But I couldn't do this. WE couldn't do this. Not given how this thing between us, whatever it was, started. I was only approached because of a bet, and he only stuck around because he wanted to know my secrets. With those circumstances keeping us together, there was no way I could ever let him in because I would always be questioning his every action and word. "No," I say slowly, my determination slamming into place. "This can't happen." "It can," Aera counters, beginning to trace kisses along my jaw and then down my neck until his lips drift across my mark spot. "All you have to do is say..." "AERA!" The shrill cry rings out around us, completely obliterating the mood that Aera was trying so damn hard to put in pla
Alpha Aera A Relapse
[Aera's POV]"Get out."Hanson's voice rings out around us, reminding me that Alphonze and I weren't the only ones here."If the two of you want to have a moment, take it outside," he continues. "I've got work to do, and I need to focus.""Then shall we step out?" Alphonze asks, releasing Ayla's hand and beginning to move. "Privacy would be good."For a moment, I examine Ayla, whose expression is blank, trying to determine how she felt about what Alphonze asked."Fine," I snap, feeling a twinge of disappointment that she doesn't seem the slightest bit curious about my response. "Let's step out."Neither of us speaks as Alphonze leads me to his room. It's only when we are inside that he turns and fixes his dark gaze on mine."Now that we are alone, will you answer my question?""I will, once you answer the same thing."I didn't know what he was up to, but there was no way that he had developed feelings for Ayla. I knew my brother well enough to know that he would never betray Gloria, e
Alpha Aera Strain
[Ayla’s POV]"Let go." Aera’s voice is cold as he speaks, and his body tenses. "Now."I don’t have time to react before my shoulders are grabbed and I’m being yanked back so that our bodies are inches apart."Who said you could touch me?"Who… That was a damn good question. Even I was shocked by my own actions, but he looked so lost in the moment that I..."This may have worked on my brother, but it won’t on me," he continues, drawing a fine line between us. "And remember, if you touch me again without my permission, I won’t be so lenient."There it was—that wall that he kept in place when it came to me because of his grudge against my family and my parents.Fine, if he wanted to be like that, then I would oblige.But you can’t, a small voice in the back of my head says. You promised Alphonze.Frowning, I find myself wanting to pummel that damn voice for reminding me of my promise, but how in the hell was I supposed to keep it when Aera so clearly didn’t want me around?"I expect you
Alpha Aera His Secret
[Alphonze's POV]I keep my gaze fixed on the door of my room until Aera appears with a look of relief plastered on his face.Immediately, my heart constricts painfully as I'm reminded of how much of a burden I truly am, not only to him but to everyone around me."How are you feeling?" He asks, making his way toward me. "Does anything hurt? Should I have Hanson come back?"'Calm down,' I sigh through mindlink. 'I'm fine.'"Are you sure?" He counters, not seeming convinced. "You don't have to pretend to try to be strong. If it hurts, say it."'You're one to talk,' I chuckle. 'Maybe you should take your own advice.'"This isn't about me," Aera snaps, going on defense as he always did when anyone broached the topic of feelings. "I'm not the one who almost..."'I didn't,' I argue. 'It was just a bit of fluid on the lungs, nothing major.'At my words, Aera's face falls, and his eyes shoot toward the door. I'm sure he is silently cursing Ayla, even though she wasn't the one responsible for m
Alpha Aera His Honest Feelings
[Ayla’s POV]I lay in bed staring at my roof while trying to get Alphonze’s current condition out of my head. Even though he looked rough regularly, to see him so vulnerable was just a bit too much. In a way, he looked as though he was on his last leg, but despite that, he tried to pretend that everything was alright.Flipping over, I pull my pillow to myself while inwardly debating whether or not I should break my biggest rule since learning about what my blood could do.Back then, it was purely by accident that I found out what it could do.If I hadn’t convinced Isabella to go out with me that day, it never would have happened. I knew that it was dangerous to roam outside of the pack grounds given mine and her identities, but I did it anyway.The minute we were past safety, we were attacked, and Isabella was severely injured. In my desperation, I clung to her, crying, and at some point, the blood from a wound on my head got into her mouth.When Uncle Silas and Aunt Lennox found us,
Alpha Aera His Guilt
[Aera’s POV]I must be imagining things. This had to be an illusion from the alcohol, especially since the last time I approached Ayla, she turned me down immediately. But the body that is beneath me feels so real and warm."Is this an illusion?" I murmur."No, this is real," Ayla responds.Frowning, I lift onto my elbows and stare down into her flushed face, taking in the sparkling forest green eyes that watch me.Positioning my weight on one arm, I lift my other hand and slap myself in the face, causing Ayla’s eyes to grow wide with shock."What are you doing?" she gasps. "Why did…""This isn’t my imagination," I hiss, sobering up instantly and sitting up. "Dammit!"Immediately, guilt begins to slam into me as Alphonze’s face flashes in my mind.What the fuck was I doing? He had said that he was interested in Ayla, but here I was attacking her, and what was worse, she was responding to me."Aera?" she repeats, sitting up and attempting to touch me. "Are you al…""DON’T FUCKING TOUCH
Alpha Aera A Scorned Woman
[Ayla's POV]Pain shoots through my head as the world around me slowly begins to take shape.Wincing, I attempt to lift a hand to touch the spot that is stinging so badly, only to find that I'm unable to move.Eyes flying open, I begin to look around, taking in the small cell that I'm currently in and the chains that hold my hands and feet in place.Frowning, I try to recall exactly how I got here.I remembered lying on Aera's living room floor with him, all but begging him to take me, and then his anger as he threw me out of Caelum Estate.After that, I stood outside for a while waiting to see if he would change his mind, and when he didn't, I began the long trek from Caelum to Crimson Tides.By the time I reached the border of Crimson Tides territory, the sun was already up.Then… Corinna appeared, and when I approached her, the bitch jabbed me, and then I was surrounded by a bunch of men.Before the world faded, I remembered calling out to Uncle Silas, but after that, everything wa

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
