"Aeza, now give our friendship kiss to Darren,"Aereza was stunned completely with that innocent demand of that 5 years old kid because that demand was not so very innocent for her and she knew, even for him. She slowly turned her head and found him staring at her. His expression was unreadable and unidentifiable. What is he thinking? His eyes seemed extremely distant and cold and somehow it managed to hurt her really badly because she was terribly missing seeing that warmth in his eyes for her but she knew she had made him lose it for her on her own but tonight she was going to rectify it and she was sure about that."Aeza, kiss Darren," the kid's voice took her out of her thoughts. She looked at Ellais who was already gazing in between him and her while an adorable pout was ghosting on his tiny face as he was waiting for them to fulfil his wish.Aereza swallowed. She was about to deny him when Darren spoke up"Ell, come to me, buddy. I will tell you something," he said and tried to
"I need to talk to you about something really very important, Darren," Aereza gripped his hand tightly. Her eyes reeked of desperation and restlessness whereas his gaze silently peered at her. Aereza knew she needed to tell him about her curse because that was the only way for them to come out of that pain of distance and indifference and this was the right time because she still didn't know what he was going to announce tonight.Aereza held his hand with both of her hands and opened her mouth to utter."It's something really very important and you need to k…." She stopped from further speaking as she witnessed him taking his hand out from her hold. "For now, nothing is more important than tonight's celebration gathering for me," he stated, staring at her blankly. She would lie if she would say that his behaviour and words didn't hurt her. They stabbed her heart like a sharp dagger.Darren was quick enough to figure out that hurt flashing in her eyes which made him take a step close
"I have chosen Princess Alexandria as my mate and the would be Luna of Blood Night Pack,"As soon as those words escaped from his mouth, Aereza felt a vigorous kind of pang clutching each and every inch of her existence. It felt like a painful blow hitting her heart with no mercy, a sharp sword which pierced deep inside her soul cruelly. Her ears couldn't just believe what they were hearing. Her eyes didn't want to believe what they were seeing. She looked at him with an extremely frozen reaction.Clutching Alexandria's hand in his, Darren took Alexandria to the centre of that hall and then looked all over the crowd who were gazing at them with happy, shocked and mixed emotions."And the night of the next full moon, our mating ceremony will be held," he uttered, loud enough for every single person to hear. The loud sound of applause and cheering started resonating all over that hall as everyone showed their happiness towards their Alpha King, except some very few people.A wide smile
"A very huge congratulations to you for finding your mate, Darren Venzor," her words escaped from her mouth like a venom. Her serene grey eyes gazed at him who was standing in his place with a completely blank and unreadable expression on his face. Aereza turned her body language completely calm and composed because she already identified his real intentions of coming here. Their gazes remained glued with each other. "Took you long enough to accept her but ….." she paused and took a step closer to him. Darren watched the corner of her lips twitching upward into a cunning smirk as she peered at him and stood in front of him. "But you finally did and accepted her as your mate," Aereza uttered while maintaining that wicked grin on her face because she understood he was there to catch her real emotions. He wanted to see her in her vulnerable state. He wanted to find out what exactly she felt for him and that was why he had done all of this, to trigger her real emotions out. Aereza clear
"We both know that you are in fucking love with me, Alpha Darren Venzor," And that was it for Darren to cross his each and every level and edge of endurance. Her words made him lose it completely and in the worst possible way. He gripped her jaw so aggressively that Aereza felt like he was going to break her jaw at any moment but she did not let that pain reflect on her face. "What happened? The truth fucking hurts," she pressed his already throbbing nerves more. Aereza passed him an iniquitous smirk which made him see red. His eyes shifted into two flaming balls of inferno. His face and ears reddened with fury and rage. His veins popped out on his neck, forehead and palms, indicating how cruelly he was aching to destroy each and every single thing around him. He was throbbing to hurt her. "Your anger is telling me your answer, Venzor," she sniggered at him, knowing how terribly it was affecting him. "I never expected the Alpha of the Blood Night Pack, the cruel and brutally sadist
Blair was walking here and there while staring at the direction of that balcony where she had sent Aereza. It was quite a while but Aereza had still not come back. Her heart was telling her to go there and check on Aereza because she was extremely worried about her but then she remembered, Aereza had requested her to leave her alone, so she didn't want to break into her privacy. Blair was in a dilemma whether to go there or not until….. "Alpha has gone there to meet her," that voice made Blair tilt her head and she caught Rowan before her. She looked here and there and noticed everyone was busy on their own in that celebration gathering. Blair sighed and looked at Rowan. Somehow after their last encounter, Blair's perspective regarding Rowan had changed completely. She was still afraid of being in his presence but now that fear was not uncomfortable, rather that fear had now started giving her the sense of security and safety from the rest of the world. "Can I ask you something?" Bla
"Darren has ordered me to bring your grandmother here without your acknowledgement, Aereza," A tear slipped down from her eyes, hearing those words of Alanso's. He had brought his grandmother here and didn't even try to tell her about this? She couldn't just believe it. He knew what her grandmother meant to her but he still chose to do all of this. It was hurting Aereza beyond endurance. "Where is my grandmother?" She asked him while trying to hold back her tears. Her body was writhing in anger whereas her heart was bleeding in pain. Alanso's grin widened at Aereza's question. He didn't answer and just smirked at her which made Aereza clench her teeth. "Tell me where the fuck is my grandmother?" She shouted at him. Alanso chuckled at her before answering. "Do you think I will choose to get on Darren's target by going against him and helping you, Aereza?" He laughed at her. Aereza gritted her teeth. "You have already chosen to betray him by telling me about my grandmother, Alanso,
After her encounter with Alanso, Aereza turned disturbed and painfully restless because she knew that no matter what, Darren was never going to hurt her grandmother. He knew how much she loved her and he would never go to that heartless extent to harm her. She had identified it in Alanso's body posture and tone that he was trying to manipulate her there and to find out his real intentions, she played along and made him believe that she had fallen into his trap and agreed to do whatever he had said to her but she knew how much of a disgusting person Alanso was. He could do anything to anyone for his selfish motives and she had witnessed it in the way he was staring at her and had tried to touch her. He was more poisonous than a snake and she needed to stop him before he would harm her loved ones and for that, she knew whom she needed to trust the most ... .Her Mate….the person she loved and trusted more than her own self.Finding her way clear, Aereza straight went to Darren's chamber
"You were right, Alpha King," Rowan spoke, standing in front of his chair while looking at Darren who was sitting on his throne. A meeting was going on between all the members of The Blood Night Pack in the royal court. "We checked those territories and they were actually getting targeted by our neighbourhood packs but as per your order, we have doubled our guards there, so our people can leave in peace and without fear," Rowan stated further. Darren wagged his head in approval after hearing his beta, Rowan. Darren opened his mouth to ask him about other matters. "And what about…" "Alpha King…." That melodious baby voice cutted Darren's words in the middle. Everyone turned their towards the owner of that sweet voice, including Darren and he found his 3 years old daughter, Aeren, standing in front of him with an adorably angry pout on her tiny face. "I came here with a complaint to you, Alpha King," that little girl spoke to her father in her tender yet courageous voice while pe
"Punish those brutal monsters and give your sister her justice, mate…."Like a frozen statue, Aereza gaped at Darren. All these years she was aching to kill those monsters who took her sister away from her but now it was frightening her. Her own emotions were terrifying her. Darren noticed how disturbed she was looking but he knew he needed to take her out of her trauma before it would consume her completely. He cupped her face and looked deeply into her eyes."My Aereza is not someone weak, bellissima because my Aereza in herself is an epitome of strength and courage," he tried to make her recall how fearless and brave she was."She never needed someone or something to prove her worth. She has always been capable of fighting for her own self and her loved ones. She has never accepted her defeat before anyone," Aereza keenly heard him, whereas Wren felt extremely happy that his granddaughter had received such a supportive person as her mate who not only just loved her but respected h
Waiting to meet Darren for the entire day to talk about her encounter with Alexandria this morning, Aereza finally heard the sound of footsteps entering inside her chamber in the night. She thought it was him, so she immediately turned around to face the owner of those footsteps approaching her but her brows wiggled in confusion not only just because it was not whom she was expecting but because it was someone she had not even expected in her thoughts. "What are you doing here?" Aereza questioned that person in front of her. She was extremely confused by finding that person in her chamber, especially at that time of the night. That person didn't answer which turned her more bewildered. "What are you doing here in my chamber, Gamma Herald?" She asked again and this time, she addressed that person with his name and title. What was he doing here? Aereza caught the corner of his lips lightly tugging upward at her repetition of her question and it alerted Aereza. His cunning smirk told he
The entire castle which had turned gloomy after Alexandria's death had again started illuminating after Darren announced his mating ceremony with Aereza. The entire castle was being decorated for the ceremony which was going to happen tonight. Happiness had scattered all around the entire Blood Night Pack."Finally, everything is turning happy in our pack again," Aereza smiled gently after hearing Blair's words. They both were sitting on Aereza's bed in her chamber."And mother has sent this massaging oil for you. She said it is very beneficial for yours and your baby's health, so at least massage yourself with this thrice or more in a week," Blair handed the glass bottle of oil to Aereza. Blair's mother was a royal healer in the castle so Darren ordered her to check on Aereza and their baby because for now, he didn't want to reveal about Aereza's pregnancy to the outside world, not at least before he would catch that culprit who had tried to harm her. Blair's mother sent that herbal
"Our pack's people have now started turning against Alpha King for shielding Aereza from them," the revelation shook everyone to their hearts. All of them got up on their feet and gave a startled glance to that informer."Things are getting more messy with every passing moment," Rowan uttered with an extremely tense face. Darren looked at him."Someone is trying to manipulate our people against you and it's confirm now that person is from inside who got to know that we have taken Aereza inside the castle," Darren exhaled a heavy breath after hearing Rowan. "I will go and meet my people," he said, shocking everyone there."But Darren, it could be risky going out at this moment when everyone has turned so outrageous against you and we don't even know who the real culprit is," Aereza stated, terrified. She didn't want any harm to any of her loved ones anymore, especially him."Don't worry, I will manage," Darren replied and tried to assure her but she shook her head."No, I will come w
"And the entire Blood Night Pack is demanding Aereza's execution," Both Aereza and Darren completely froze in their places after hearing Rowan, especially Aereza because she didn't even know why and how she was supposed to receive such a brutal punishment for a crime she was not even aware of. On the other hand, Darren turned angry because his mate was getting framed for someone else's crimes and in no way, he was going to let someone even lay their bad eyes on her and his child, let alone hurting her in any way."By no means, I am going to let something like this happen," he growled and looked at Aereza who seemed extremely worried, confused and tense. He held her hand in his tightly. His touch brought her a sense of safety and security."She has done nothing to anyone, so I will make everyone understand that," he said, which made Rowan sigh."Yes but for that, you need to get in front of your people as soon as possible, Alpha and make them understand everything personally but till
"Your love won over my curse…..Aereza," Sirena's voice resonated. The couple looked around themselves but couldn't see her. They could only hear her voice whereas they both could feel her presence around them too."I am giving you back your love's life just because I don't want my love to be a burden over my soul," Sirena's words clenched Aereza's words but she was also feeling more than happy that Sirena finally understood the real meaning of love."I don't want my love to be a curse on your love, Aereza…because I want my love to be a blessing," Both Aereza and Darren heard her every word silently. They both clutched each other's hands tightly."And I am giving you both the blessings of my love by taking back my curse," A smile formed on Aereza's face while tears continued to shimmer in her eyes. They finally won that battle. They finally won it."I am giving you back your love and unborn your child his father," Darren's eyes widened, hearing those words of Sirena. He slowly traile
"Complete your curse by harming your love or complete your blessing by healing my love, Sirena," Aereza's words left Sirena speechless. Her eyes remained fixed at that silver stone Aereza was holding in her palm. "Ask yourself, are you really feeling that peace which you were needing to feel all these years after tearing my love apart from me and his child?" Aereza stated. Her eyes had started hurting now with the sharpness and vigorous intensity of her tears but her mouth didn't stop because it was hoping that, even that evil inside Sirena would try to understand her love for him because that evil had born inside Sirena only after she lost her own love. "Ask yourself, will you really be able to give your lover's soul that serenity which you were wanting to give him all these years after tearing an unborn child's father away from him?" More tears rolled down from Aereza's eyes whereas Sirena didn't utter a single word in her reply. "Tell me, Sirena, will you ever be able to be happ
"Watching him dying in your arms was your only fate,"Silently and with no words, Aereza heard those venomous words coming out from Sirena's mouth. A feral smirk was playing over Sirena's face but Aereza's face got deprived of every kind of emotion or expression. She was looking completely blank and frozen and it was just because of her tears, which were rolling down from her eyes silently, those tears were the only evidence which was stating that she was still alive, that she was not dead yet, but only from outside.Trailing her eyes down towards her arms, she looked at his face. His beautiful ember orbs were hidden from her which used to be the home to her soul. The beat of his heart which used to be her only reason for happiness, that reason had completely faded and numbed. His heart was not beating anymore. Her life had lost its reason to live. Aereza got too traumatised to even use her proper senses. She lost her sanity. Her body lost its each and every kind of sensation. Her mi
