I briskly walked through the hallway and instead of stopping anywhere, I exited the mansion. I don’t know how much I was abiding by the rules at this point, but I was surely roaming around much freely now.As the cold wind hit my skin, I slowed down a bit. I couldn’t jog for too long anymore. There used to be a time that Tanner and I would take runs around the entire woods back when we were in the academy and now everything has turned upside down.As I began to walk in the direction of the royal garden, I only turned around a bit and saw Aramis straightening his back at the acknowledgment of my sight from his terrace.Well, I believe he was going to get upset now but I didn’t care and kept marching away to gather fresh air and force my body into adopting the lifestyle I used to have before.My mind kept thinking about the death of Savia, if Tanner was truly innocent then why did Kian say he had seen him?I must speak to Kian. This accusation of Tanner’s name was horrendous if it was f
“What?” I said and he finally spoke up."No! You scared me. Why did you leave the mansion?" Aramis’ voice made me realize he wasn’t actually angry, he was concerned.“Didn’t you ask me to get out of your sight?” I tilted my face, forcing my body weight on one foot."I didn’t ask you to leave the mansion. Anyway, It's not safe outside," in an attempt to look unbothered, he turn his face to the other side and grunted."You don't need to tail me everywhere Aramis," I stated but my voice didn’t carry the same attitude as before."I do. Didn't you hear the Salutary? You are weaker tha---which is not a crime and neither is a sin," he instantly corrected himself when I watched his face from my knitted eyebrows."But you said weaker are those who cannot see anybody else happy," I reminded him of his speech back when he was trying to make me feel better."That was a different situation," he replied, his muscles popping and making me wonder how great it must feel to have a wolf and not feel too
It was then we started sharing a bed but made sure nobody crosses their zone.It was crazy how I went from being worried about being in his clutches to comfortable enough in sharing a bed with him.It's been a few days and my stay in his room had started to bother Morgana more and more with every passing minute.She hadn't gotten a chance to argue with me because I had been saying in my room a lot lately. Mostly because of my declining health.I had no idea why I would heal and then the wounds will come back?I couldn't even ask Aramis for help even when he had been proving me wrong for thinking he is a messed-up Alpha King."Aramis!" he was watching TV in the living room when I joined him. I had just woken up from an hour-long nap after I had my breakfast.I wasn't the one calling his name though, right along my side was Jocelina.She sat down on the same couch as him whilst I took the sofa on the side."You have a few days off from work. I was thinking about you and Morgana spending
“So, where were we?” he inquired without looking at my flushed face.“How about this one?” he picked up a white shirt and held it in his hands to display it to me. it was then he dropped his hands down to ask me what had happened to me.“What happened to you? You look ---red,” He frowned, looking for another shirt instantly.“The guard dropped by what you have asked him to get you,” I muttered, I could even taste the words in my mouth at this point.“Hm?” he raised his face acting all clueless and then smiled, “Ah! Protection is everything,” he walked all the way over to the bed to grab the condoms out of my hand but his hopes died when I pulled them away from him.“You are going to f*** her?” I had my hand behind my back when I raised my voice at him. He stepped back and then turned around to instantly close the door shut and rush back at me.“What are you doing? You are ruining the surprise,” he sounded so calm that it made me rage more.“Oh! I am sorry! I didn’t know you were going
After I woke up and the same doctor attended me, she told Aramis that she has no clue what is going on with me and that she will require some blood tests. He had been walking inside the room, hitting one corner to the other like mad crazy after that.“Why are you so worried? I am fine.” I said while lying in the bed and not being able to get out still.“You saw all gray and you couldn’t feel your body being in your control!” he repeated what I have told him and the doctor.“I feel like I know it in my head that I know what this is but then it keeps slipping out of my mind,” He let out a deep breath of exhaustion and walked back to the bed to sit down with me.“How are you feeling now? Did the wound on the stomach heal after you took the vampire blood?” he inquired, his eyes seeming restless.The last I have seen him this concern and full of emotions was when his brother died and he was standing in our mansion, demanding me to become their slave.“I am fine,” I said, breaking myself ou
The mating ceremony was in 15 days so I had to prepare myself to see them all again. Aramis had left for work and I had decided to go out in the garden for a little walk and when I didn’t find it amusing, I walked back into the mansion.It was the day when I finally decided to explore the mansion since Aramis had given me a free hand to wander around now.In fact, he had been super sweet and supportive of me.After that day, I had been asking myself what was happening to me? I had never felt so jealous of anything in my whole life.Seeing those condoms had riled me up and even he was shocked by the way I reacted."What is this room?" I asked Boris who had taken a break from his duty to show me around.“This used to be Lady Jolene’s art room. She used to paint and capture the beauty of the world in her canvases,” Boris recalled her and a smile covered his lips.“Aramis’ mother?” I asked and he bobbed his head, “He never talks about his parents,” I was watching the beautiful glass door
I couldn’t believe my eyes anymore. Morgana was the one who had repeatedly forced Aramis to accept her. She had tried every way to make him take her as his mate and now she was going behind his back and fuc*ing somebody else?I felt like a coward standing behind a tree and doing nothing. So I did what I could do the best, I came out from behind the tree and clapped harder enough to make them aware of my arrival.Morgana instantly pushed him back and grabbed her gown to slip into it whilst Victor pull his pants up and stood like a culprit.“You made him accept you for what?” I raised my voice at Morgana, who couldn’t even raise her face up to look me in the eye.“I ca---n explain,” she murmured shakily. “What can be a good enough explanation for this act of lewdness?” I yelled with all my might. How dare she unleashed her mother on me to ruin my every peaceful moment for her daughter while her daughter has already found someone she was giving her all to.“And you! He is your Alpha Kin
“Good morning,” a whisper and a gentle kiss on my earlobe was the reason I was slowly woken up.After our three sessions under the same shower, we took it to the bed and ended up cuddling and sleeping in each other’s arms. I cannot describe that night in words. I never thought I would be the one to say this but it was the best moment of my life. The pleasure he was able to give me was bigger than any pleasure I could ever receive.I smiled and stared at his face. He had slept over me, naked, and woke up hard again.“You are hard again,” I laughed and he frowned with a pout.“This is not why I woke you up.” He complained that I assumed he woke me up to take care of his soldier.“I know,” I smiled back, “Thank you for the best night,” I didn’t know what people say when they have sex, it was my first time.“Thanks to you too. Does it make me a weirdo if I confess it was my first time too?” He whispered with a frown, his eyes zoned out as if he was asking the question to himself.“Aramis!
"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
