Author’s POV:Things hadn’t been the same for Aramis, but he had returned to his life somehow. He was back at taking care of his pack while also managing the care of the babies. However, he hadn’t accepted, and neither had he fulfilled any promises regarding Layla.Once they returned from the Dark Autumn Pack, he sorts of went back to being cold to her. He couldn’t get himself to like her or spend time with her. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn’t.“How is it going?” Aramis entered Silver’s room, who was working on a spell to find the wailing brides.“It’s like a miss after a miss,” she sighed. “I can’t wrap my head around the fact they disappeared soon after they took her body away. There are only earthquakes whenever somebody dies, but they don’t arrive.” Silver seemed to be getting frustrated with meeting dead ends after dead ends.“We need to find them. I will free her body and give her soul rest no matter what.” Aramis had a grown beard and long hair now. He wasn’t into
Author’s POV:“That is so weird.” they finally walked into the room after Silver told Aramis to not bring attention to it in front of his guards. She was holding the doll and examining it while Layla was watching the babies with wishful eyes.“Others don’t need to know how miserable we are,” Silver added, once she noticed Aramis glaring at her for silencing him. “They will think our pack’s safety is not the best. Somebody sneaking in this doll right under our noses is like a taunt to us. They are mocking us.” Silver was still holding the doll and trying to understand why would anybody do that.“I will take care of the mockers then,” Aramis had lost his mate to the wailing brides. He was overprotective of his babies.“Aramis! Will you please let her hold Evelyn for once?” Silver put the doll down and watched Aramis’ face exhaustedly.“Did you forget all the promises you have made to Phoenix? Do you not remember anything at all?” she shook her head in disappointment when watching Aramis
Author’s POV:In Dark Autumn Pack:Things have gone down between Iris and Hassel very quickly. Whenever he would get time, he would lead her on, but just when she would think they would mate, he would pull away from her.“This is crazy! He is doing it on purpose,” Iris was pacing back and forth in her room and remembering all the awkward encounters she had with Hassel. She was tired of Hassel acting as if he wanted her and then pushing her away.“He thinks just because he is an Alpha, he gets to play with me?” she let out a scoff, shaking her head at his thoughts.“He likes to control the she-wolves, I would love to see how he tries to control me,” she grunted and scoffed, tapping her foot on the floor. Her eyes landed on Zion sitting in the garden with Hassel and a plan popped up in her head. She changed into a blue short dress with a deep cut and walked out of the mansion to accompany Zion. Hassel sneakily passed a glance at her and smirked to himself. He thought she had dressed up
Author’s POV:“What? What are you talking about?” Veronica voiced in anger. “How can he even accuse you of such a thing?” she held Hassel’s hand, who slipped his hand free and turned his face to the other side.“It is like whenever your family is dealing with some sort of issues, they used me as a shield to justify their actions. First, your sister and now Zion? You know how much I adored him and praised him. I cannot believe I heard him saying all those things to Iris, who is like a sister to me.” he had sat Veronica down to tell her what he heard when passing through Zion and Iris’ room, which was an elaborate lie.Iris and Hassel planned to tell Veronica and Markus everything before Zion could even open his mouth.“He was yelling at me for not giving him what he needs. I am an individual. I need some time and space, too. When I tried to tell him how wrong he was, he threatened me. He said he will tell everyone I have an affair with ---- the alpha I see as my brother. He said he wil
Author’s POV:Silver zipped past the crowd when reaching the main gate to see what the whole commotion was about. Her eyes widened, watching the ex-Alpha of the Dark Autumn Pack all bloodied up and carried by the guards to the mansion.“What happened to him?” she asked in a panic, letting the guards get inside and lie him down in the guest room. There were whispers spreading around, the rumors of Zion harassing his wife and fantasizing about her with his own sister’s husband.As the word got out, it spread around and changed into something completely different. Zion had been kicked out of the pack and even got banished with branding on his palm. They did it all while his siblings stood there and watched him suffer.They then threw him out into the woods, where he got attacked by the rogues. Being unable to defend himself, he took all the beatings but survived when the warriors of the Silver Hunter Pack were on a round.They found him and brought him to the mansion. Everybody knew Zion
“And then they banished me from the pack that used to be mine once.” Zion had finally recovered, but his heart and mind were traumatized now. His siblings didn’t even think twice before punishing him. On all these days, when he was in and out of sedation and sleep, Silver stayed by his side and helped him feel better.“Hassel had been doing everything he could to take over,” Zion added. The sight of his mate fucking Hassel was still fresh in his memory. He would never be able to forget how she let that snake kick Zion out.Aramis was walking from one corner of the room to the other. He hadn’t said a thing while listening to Zion until he finally had some questions for him.“So!” he cleared his throat, “You have no idea who was behind the whole accusing Tanner of a hideous crime plan?” he had to first make sure he wasn’t helping the wrong person.Zion had not only hurt Phoenix, but Tanner, too. There was a lot missing from that day when Tanner ended his life.“No! I don’t believe it wa
Author’s POV:“Is everything alright?” He sought while displaying concern for her.“I am fine. It is just that we must take an extreme step now,” she managed to speak up, but that’s when Layla walked into the room. Aramis was also surprised that Layla was taking an interest in whatever plans they were making, but she was only here to keep an eye on them.“If you are here, who is with the kids?” Aramis asked, his tone changed when talking to her. It was all too much for Layla.“I have put them to bed,” she responded while holding the baby monitor in her hand.“You were saying something?” he then focused on Silver again and the mildness in his tone made Layla shake her head in disapproval.“I gathered some information on Morine. It seems as if she might have some information on the wailing brides,” Silver spoke confidently this time. She didn’t understand why she had to act a certain way to convince Layla that there was nothing in her heart for Aramis.The reality was, however, differen
Author’s Pack:“And I used to collect frogs.” Layla let out a laugh when taking a walk on the road with Aramis. The two had a wonderful dinner together. Layla wore a red short dress and Aramis rocked a black suit. However, he never cut his long hair and beard. He didn’t feel like getting too ready for anyone anymore.Layla had a wonderful time. She hadn’t stopped talking and sharing her childhood with him. Even Aramis talked about Tanner with her.“Frogs? What have those little things done to you, you evil woman?” he joked, shaking his head at her playfully.“They used to look so slimy and it was fun whenever they would jump out of my palm,” she cheered, skipping steps playfully.“Be careful. You will trip in those heels.” Aramis watched her being reckless, but she was too happy to act wisely.“If I trip, you will hold me.” she turned around to him and shyly bit her bottom lip before entering the mansion with him.Silver had dinner with Zion, but she stayed awake just to meet Aramis a
"Oh! And the kid who used to steal her candies?" Zion excitedly said, reminding us of a little quarrel Veronica used to have with this little kid because he would always steal her candies and would not even eat them. "Yeah! Keep bullying me," she playfully rolled her eyes and then looked my way. I gave her a smile of reassurance to brighten up her evening. It had been a year since we last fought with the wailing brides. The bodies were released, and it took us time to say goodbye to everyone and give them a proper burial. Aramis finally let go of Tanner’s body. I cozied up in his arms, sitting around the fireplace with the others and enjoying a beautiful evening. We gathered around to celebrate my baby shower. I heard from the doctor that I was having twins, a son, and a daughter yet again. We were all sitting on the floor with blankets wrapped around our bodies and shivering in the cold. Markus had found a mate, while Veronica was not ready to date anyone. She wanted to focus on h
Phoenix’s POV:As planned by Aramis, Morine was executed, and her body was thrown at the wailing river to get picked up by the wailing brides. Morgana was left injured. She woke up to the wailing bride getting attacked by the warrior. The horror she witnessed was compared to nothing when she died their slow and painful death from her wounds. She kept yelling for the guards to not leave her body here after she dies but they didn’t care. This was the first time in over a year that they had received a body. So the wailing brides came to collect the body, and that’s when Aramis attacked them with the sword he made with graphite.Since we had collected a lot of it before returning to our world, Aramis was able to make a few swords. That was the basic problem. Most of our guards were only going to protect and delay their attacks. After the wailing brides were killed, we knew they were coming.Since Aramis and I knew where they would be coming from, we had prepared our army to stand on the g
Author’s POV:"I don't understand why they're accusing me of all this nonsense," Hassel had been on the verge of tears since Mr. and Mrs. Heller read the case Aramis and Phoenix had prepared against him."So you don’t remember?" Aramis scoffed. "Let me jog your memory a bit with these text messages and audio recordings." He held Iris’ phone up and played the audio. Iris had deleted everything from her side.Silver had been staring at Zion, who was holding Iris close by. She didn’t think he would get fooled by her so easily. But then again, she remembered her own beliefs. It was true that the Alphas only want a she-wolf, not some witch like her."That is---," Hassel felt his throat drying up, "I do--- this is a huge conspiracy against me," he claimed, trying to get up from the seat when two guards pulled him down and held a gun with silver bullets to his temples. He was frozen in shock. It was happening. His downfall has arrived. Veronica and Markus were standing behind Phoenix’s couch
Author’s POV:Misty’s rejection caused an uproar because she denied leaving the pack and accepting the rejection. She wanted Markus to promise her he would accept her, and only then would she reject Hassel and leave the pack. Unfortunately for Iris, she had lost her baby. Hassel accused her of not taking care of his heir, but he didn’t reject her yet."He is going to reject me soon." She whispered to herself, crying for hours in her room and getting angry at her sister for her loss."If Phoenix’s siblings can betray her, how did I ever think mine wouldn’t do the same? She took my mate first, and now she's taken my baby." She broke down once again."What the heck was I thinking when I closed the door that day? I wish Zion had survived and was still the alpha of the pack. He used to treat me with so much respect. I was able to brainwash him so well, but this Hassel, he is only hungry for power and sex. I will never be able to win his heart and neither do I want now," she scoffed at the
Author’s POV:"You are becoming so difficult to deal with. Why do you have to question my every action?" Misty finally yelled at Hassel after listening to him for a few minutes, complaining about her spending most of the money on shopping and then coming home to sleep and not even looking at him."I’m the one who is difficult to deal with? You barely pay attention to me. This isn’t why I married you," Hassel yelled louder, walking back and forth while she kept sitting on a couch, texting her friends."You have other mates. Why don’t you go spend time with them so that I can be left alone for a few minutes?" Misty muttered, not even raising her face from her cellphone.Hassel was shocked to hear her say that. It sounded like she didn’t even care who he sleeps with anymore."You wouldn’t be jealous if I slept with my other mates?" He asked Misty in confusion and shock. He was slowly beginning to realize that while he used everyone else, Misty used him."It’s not like I can keep you with
"Hassel had offered me a good amount to get rid of Savia. When I arrived on the scene and tried to harm her, Tanner appeared out of nowhere. He started fighting for her and saving her. That’s when I started shouting at the top of my lungs that it was Tanner who did all that to her. Since she was bleeding and in his arms, the nearby pack members started accusing him. I realized he had some trauma from his childhood because he began to sob instantly. It wasn’t our plan to trap him, but it fits perfectly." Kian said while tied to the chair. Aramis had beaten him up really badly in order to make him take us seriously. He was no longer joking around or beating around the bush."So you accused my brother!" Aramis grunted. "Do you have any idea you killed two people that day?" Aramis punched him as he lost his temper. I just stood in the corner, remembering Tanner and feeling bad for him. He did not deserve what happened to him. His best interest was to save Savia. "You will be tortured a
Phoenix’s POV:"The memory came back when I saw her in the wailing world. It terrorized me to my core. I can’t believe I forgot about it. I am sure it was the Moon Goddess trying to save me from the painful memory of that night." Aramis had tears streaming down his eyes while he kept staring at his mother’s portrait."I am so sorry." I instantly got up and wrapped my arms around him. He sobbed in my arms like a little baby who never got a chance to mourn losing so much that night.Not only did he witness his mother kill his father and Naira, but he also saw her attacking him. She didn’t only take away his father from him, but his mother, too."I saw my mother turn into a monster and leave," Aramis bit the inside of his cheek as he broke the hug and held my hand to put it on his chest. "I always thought about why I felt this weird feeling whenever I heard the wailing brides cry. It is because they all imitate my mother’s cry, the cry I grew up listening to every night." He was shaking
Author’s POV:Years Ago:"Hush little baby, don’t say a word--- moma’s gonna buy you---," her eyes teared up when signing to her little baby boy Tanner. She was nicknamed Majesty after her beauty and elegance were noticed by many others. She was a Luna queen of Alpha King Nicholas Knight, but sadly, her life was not royal because her mate wished to reject her."Jocelina!" she cried for the attention of the nanny they had brought in. Jocelina walked inside and bowed down to Majesty."Where is Alpha King?" she asked, and Jocelina bit her tongue. She knew very well what interests her alpha king had."Majesty! Why do you want to know?" Jocelina sighed, feeling bad for her because it was like a routine now. Majesty will see her mate with that chosen mate of his, and she will not stop crying the entire night."He is with her again?" Majesty asked, feeling this weird anger bubbling inside her."Where else would he be?" Jocelina didn’t understand why the Alpha King couldn’t just love his true
"This much is enough." Silver held the bottle of blood in her hand and stared at it with hope-covered eyes."Silver! I know you are doing a lot already, but I need your help with something else." I watched her put the bottle down and turn to focus on me."Is it about finding Ezekiel?" she asked, and I smiled at her intelligence. "I am already looking for ways to break the protection spell. Once I am able to do it, it will be a lot easier for me to track Morgana down. The only reason she is able to hide from us is the magic Morine is using. However, she is old and very sick. Using so much magic can lead to her demise. If that happens, it will leave Morgana unprotected. I will try my best to keep looking for them." After discussing her plans and ideas with me, she nodded to herself and then smiled once something else popped up in her head."Thank you for coming back," she said."I couldn’t stay away from here. I just wanted to keep my daughter safe. The Moon Goddess gave Layla a chance
