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
