Slowly unlatching her eyes, Aereza found her drowsy vision staring at the ceiling. She rubbed her eyes in order to adjust her vision with the light of the morning while getting up but a hiss escaped from her mouth when she felt that soreness in between her legs. It snapped her back to her senses. She wandered her eyes everywhere around her and found herself sitting on her bed in her chamber. He took her back to his castle again.Last night, she paused out in his arms due to exhaustion and tiredness. He had made sure to deprive her body of all kinds of energy by devouring her over and over again last night. He had completely worn her out and she ended up falling asleep in his arms immediately after their last release. The last thing she remembered before passing out was his warm seeds mixing with her juices and gushing out from her throbbing core together.Those moments were still fresh in her head. He had buried himself so deeper inside her that she could still feel him deep inside he
"Here, apply this before sleeping. You will feel better in a couple of days," Blair uttered, showing a healing balm's bottle to Aereza for curing the soreness in between her thighs. They both were present in Blair's chamber."Take this," Blair tried to hand the tiny glass bottle to Aereza but she didn't stretch her hand to grab it. Blair looked at Aereza and caught her looking somewhere else. She was looking completely zone out. She frowned."Aereza," she shook her shoulders, taking Aereza out of her trance. She finally looked at her and blinked."Where have you been lost?" She asked, confused. Aereza shook her head and replied."N…no…nothing," she lied and her stuttering made it obvious for Blair to understand that she was lying."Stop lying,"Blair stated, closing the big wooden box where she had kept different kinds of potions, oils and balms for healing purposes. She placed that box to its respective place and then gave her full attention to Aereza. Once again, she caught her lost.
"Alpha King has ordered to take Ellais from you right now because he doesn't trust you with him,"Aereza's body turned into ice, hearing Viviana's words. He doesn't trust her anymore, especially with Ellais? That thought mutilated something really very painful inside her heart. She knew after what she had tried to do last night, it had seriously injured his trust for her and she was not blaming him for it but with Ellais, he knew how much she loved and cared for him then how could he even think about it? That she could harm Ellais in any way, even when she had cleared it for him before that she could never harm and hurt that kid at any cost but still…he was thinking like this?"Give him to me now," Viviana stretched her arms to take Ellais from Aereza's embrace but this time, Aereza shoved her hands away from touching Ellais and stepped back."Ellais is sleeping, so it's better if we don't disturb his sleep," she spat at her because she didn't know whether he trusted her or not anymor
"What the fuck you think of yourself?" Aereza startled, hearing him and the way he was gripping her neck. Her back was pressed against the wall whereas his enormous body was towering over her. His eyes were burning with pure madness and anger. What has gotten into him again? "Firstly you dared to disrespect me in front of Viviana by defying my order of handing Ell to her ….." he paused to bring his face closer to her. He tightened his hold around her neck."And now you decide to show me your fucking bravery by neglecting my command?" He seethed out, glaring hard at her grey orbs."What the fuck you think of yourself so special that I am going to let your fucking defiance and disrespect for me to slide every fucking time?" He shouted at her. Now Aereza finally understood what was the problem here. Blair was right. That woman Viviana has manipulated him against her but how could he believe her so blindly? Aereza turned enraged, especially realising he was trusting that woman more than
"Maa, I will wear this dress for tonight's celebration," Blair told her mother while showing her blue colour gown to her. Her mother smiled and nodded in approval but then her eyes travelled towards Blair's other hand where she caught her holding a black colour gown."And what are you going to do with this one?" Her mother asked, confused."I will give this to Aereza for wearing tonight," she uttered, folding that black gown. Her mother's smile widened. She knew her daughter, Blair, had a very big and warm heart. Her mother again wagged her head."Seems like you both have become really very good friends with each other," Blair giggled at her mother's words. "I don't know about friendship but yes, Aereza is a very kind and genuine hearted person. She might look very cold and rude but once you start understanding her, you will notice how good natured she is," she uttered which made her mother grin."Okay, I will go and give this dress to her. Although I am sure it's going to fit her be
"It's done finally," Blair uttered, getting done designing Aereza's hair. Hearing her, Aereza trailed her eyes towards the mirror and finally looked at her own reflection. Her body was wrapped in that plain black gown which had a shimmering look because of the stones encrusted in it. Her dark long hair was braided and clutched in a beautiful loose bun. Two strands of her hair were bouncing on her bare face which had a natural tint on her cheeks. Her full pink lips were shimmering with a red hue because of the coloured moisturising oil Blair had applied on them. Aereza had barely ever seen herself looking like this because it was the second time she had worn such kind of luxurious clothes. First being at the time of Alexandria's mating ceremony where she had seen him for the second time. She had never cared about her looks or appearance because they never mattered to her because she believed in inner beauty rather than relying on what the world had to say about her physical appearanc
"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
"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
