Aramis had been busy plotting a perfect plan to make Hassel fall for it and somehow commit a crime. So far, Phoenix had been the only witness and victim of him who spoke up. The others were pretty much on his side.But things were beginning to get dirty in the Dark Autumn Pack now.Iris woke up feeling extremely dizzy, and that’s when she found out she was pregnant. After they broke the news to the pack members, Veronica locked herself with her baby in the room. As for Misty, she wasn’t sure how Hassel would accept her and make her the Luna of the pack. He already had two Lunas. It was going to get crowded. And since the other two were already giving him heirs, Misty would be left behind and get neglected.“I am so happy! Now on the day of your mating ceremony, I will---,” Iris was talking to Misty when she noticed Misty’s face changed colors.“What happened? You don’t look very happy,” Iris suspected something was wrong because Misty had been acting up lately. She wasn’t even trying
Author’s POV:Aramis had given up on his diligence at this point. He hadn’t spoken to Layla all these days. In fact, he had forbidden her from appearing before him.In the meantime, a tumult happened in most of the cells and some of the prisoners had fled.“What? how the hell did that happen?” Amaris had just received the call, and it shook the world from under his feet.He was chilling with his kids when he got informed of the prison break.“Get me the names of the prisoners that had escaped.” Aramis clenched his jaw and made up his mind to find them and kill them the instant they were brought back. “What is going on? Why are you shouting?” Silver had just entered his room with a few files in her hands. Aramis raised his face and got a notice of her documents. He suspected she had figured out something.“There was a prison break,” he uttered,It was then his phone beeped, and he got notified it was a false alarm.“What the heck?” he grumbled exhaustedly. Nothing in his life was in i
Author’s POV:“Daddy has to go somewhere in a few days,” Aramis stated, watching Evelyn settle herself on his one leg and Roman sat down on his other leg.“Are we coming with you?” Evelyn asked excitedly. They had never been to a picnic alone with their father. Usually, it would be Aramis and an entire team of warriors whenever they went out, and the kids didn’t like it very much.Because it happened almost every time that their picnic met an end when the warriors informed their father of some issue.“I wish, but it won’t be possible. It is a bit of a da---ngerous job,” he uttered, “but I promise to come back and then take you out to Paris.” he smiled at the kids, as they turned around and smiled at the idea.“But I want you two to promise me that you will be good kids and will listen to your Aunt Silver. I don’t want her to forward a complaint to me,” he warned the kids, and they nodded faintly.Roman had a million questions to ask him. He just didn’t know where to begin from. If he
Author's POV:“Do you really want to go alone?” Silver asked Aramis, who was standing in front of his bedroom door where once Phoenix took her last breaths.“I need to,” he mumbled. “I owe her this much. Her room, her scent, is not something that is traumatizing to me,” he had convinced himself that if he will keep running away, he will upset Phoenix. Layla had heard them talk about opening the room again. She just didn’t know why Silver suggested that.Taking slow steps, she reached them and stood beside them. Aramis really wasn’t keen on noticing anything else.He needed his full strength to face the bed where she died, to enter the room where he once used to see her. After he opened the lock, pushed the door open and an icy breeze brushed against his skin. He held his breath in and forced a smile across his lips.‘Aramis! You are not dating anyone else,’The memories of her when she used to boss him around playfully flashed before his eyes. He could see her in his memory, but that’
Author’s POV:Layla and Aramis had taken a ride to go see the door to the mountains. The dry mountains were a few hour's journey from their mansion. Aramis had been waiting for this day for over seventeen months now.“Aramis! What are you planning for Layla? I heard her cry in her room today,” Silver asked Aramis, who didn’t want to hear anything regarding Layla.“I don’t know. I jus---t don’t seem to care. It is so weird because I always feel bad for others, even if I don’t express it. But for her, my heart just stops caring.” Aramis was honest in his response to Silver.Somewhere in his heart, he was extremely happy that he will free Phoenix’s soul now. But then a big part of him was lost. What will he do once that mission is over?“Maybe because you think she took Phoenix’s spot?” Silver tried to understand his feelings. It would be a lie if Silver will say it surprised her to hear him say he doesn’t care about her. She had noticed it, too. But it was just a big mystery because she
Author’s POV: Now that they have seen the door, they returned home. It was sad that they were waiting for someone to die so that the door opened, but that was all they could do. Silver had noticed Silver and Aramis were spending a lot of time together with Zion, too, joining them once in a while. It hadn’t even been two weeks since Layla and Aramis slept together, but she was already craving his touch again. As for Aramis, somebody died, but by the time they reached the mountains, the door had been shut closed. It gave Aramis an idea that they didn’t really have much time. So he prepared to camp near the mountains for a few days. There had been an old omega that everybody said was on the deathbed. Aramis felt like he was just waiting and hoping somebody would die, but that wasn’t the case. “Kids! I will be back in a few days, okay?” Aramis had sat the kids down to speak to them. Everybody was present when he was saying goodbye to his kid. Layla was getting curious about his missi
Author’s POV: “Aramis! I want you to accept my demise as it is and move on. Staying with the thoughts of me and remembering me every second of your life would do you no good. It is only pulling you back from doing amazing things with your kids that you can,” Phoenix whispered in his ears as he slept in his tent. Part of the reason he camped in the mountains was that he knew he will get to see Phoenix a lot. But it wasn’t much since he would normally have dreams about her every time he sleeps. However, the mountains were different. He gets to feel it as if it was real. But then every dream would turn into a nightmare just in a few minutes. “Aramis! I know you have loved me a lot, but it is time to move on,” she whispered once again. He shook his head and opened his eyes, breaking free from his sleep. Tears had left his eyes even when he was sleeping. “I cannot move on. I don’t want to move on,” he said, folding his arm over his eyes and sighing. His life was just sad. “I have lov
Author’s POV:“Layla!” Silver walked around in search of her. She didn’t know where to find her because she had left the mansion with the babies a few minutes ago with Zion while Silver had to stay behind to look at the matters one last time.She found them in the Royal Garden, happily playing with the kids. Seeing Silver approach her, Layla knew something was up.“What is going on?” Zion asked Silver, who was reaching them in a hurry. The kids were too busy to notice them. They were helping each other with the swings.“I spoke to Aramis. He wouldn’t be available for some hours,” Silver stated, and Layla’s face changed colors. She thought he would be gone for a few more days.“Oh, great!” Layla said. Whatever time she had, she will use it for her advantage.“I will take the kids inside now.” Layla didn’t even waste a minute before changing her mood.“Why? They are happy here,” Zion, who had no clue what Layla had in store for them, suggested.“Umm! I am the mother of these kids. I kno
"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
