Chap-4*The Two Troubled Mates*
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Alpha King Aramis' POV:
It was weird how I felt a mate bond with someone who is my brother's mate as well.
"Phoenix Hart!" I grunted while reaching the foyer after I have dressed up for the big lunch with my brother.
"Good Afternoon Alpha King!" Aunt Jocelina greeted me after she too had worn her iconic black dress to accompany me and my brother.
She had been my nanny for as long as I can remember. After my parents were no longer alive to take care of us, she stepped in and embraced us.
"You look impeccable," she was 50, well-dressed and trendy. I never treated her like a nanny after my parent’s demise, she was more like a family and had been given all the luxuries a royal member of the family deserves, “Why don’t you find yourself a mate?” as usual, she brought up the topic of the mate. Every time she would watch me wear a suit, her compliment will follow the same topic repeatedly.
“Those things are evil,” I stated without a shadow of doubt, “It is Moon Goddess’ way of trapping the innocent souls with the evil thing called a mate bond, and then you are obliged to do everything to get accepted by your mate. And in the end, the mate hurts you the most because every little painful action by your mate brings you more agony due to the stupid mate bond. I am very happy being myself. My job is to keep the packs’ safe and I will do just that,” the topic itself was just a mood destroyer. The thought of being accepted or rejected by your mate has been just foolish and ridiculous.
“Then what about your bloodline? How will it carry on?” Jocelina had her own reason to bug me on this subject. She had expressed her desire to marry her daughter to me many times.
She had a daughter of her own, Morgana Tete, 18-year-old with nothing better to do but wander around me all the time.
“Are you forgetting Tanner? He has found a mate---,” I paused to push the flashback of feeling a mate bond with her and that idea just disgusted me. “she is powerful and so is he, you should have seen them in the battle ground. They are impeccable, they will make powerful babies,” I finished and expected her to not talk about it for the next few days, but before that, I had to tell her, “Aunt Jocelina! You should marry Morgana to someone who she feels a mate bond with. Just because I don’t like the whole concept of mate bond, doesn’t mean your daughter has to follow the same rule,” I have only finished voicing out an advice to her when her daughter appeared before us.
"Hi," Morgana peeped from behind her mother, dolled up in a blue dress and a lot of makeups.
"Aunt Jocelina! Tanner will be arriving in a few minutes. Make sure everything is ready and perfect. I don't want my brother to think his arrival back in the pack is not cherished." I paced ahead of them whilst they followed me, briskly walking to match up with my pace.
"All the food items are ready," Aunt Jocelina murmured, "As soon as he steps in, the hot bathtub will be prepared for his comfort as well," she was listing the number of things I've warned her to not mess up with.
My baby brother was arriving after years; the preparations must lack nothing.
"Great!" I finally stopped and somebody bumped into my back. I didn't have to turn around to see who it was.
"Oops!" Morgana snickered from behind, making me roll my eyes.
"Prince Tanner!" Before I could even react to Morgana, we were made aware of the advent of Tanner.
His arrival wasn't received with cheers and hurray! The shape he had booked into the mansion wasn't what we were expecting from him.
My heart skipped a beat at my baby brother's messy condition. A small yelp managed to heave across the other's lips whilst I stood there with a stiffening posture in bewilderment for a moment.
Tanner has sprinted and tripped inside the mansion all clapped-out and disheveled.
Even the roof of the mansion didn't seem to bring comfort to his perturbed soul, he rushed instead and tripped once again.
I ran over to prevent him from face planting before us. As I spread my arms, instead of going to the ground, he landed on my chest.
Covering him from whatever harm was chasing him, I hugged him tightly. My arms felt his raced heart from the back of his body, and I grasped that he was in some sort of fear that almost unmanned him.
He raised his face after breaking the hug and revealed his misty-eyes to me. That sight was nothing less than a horrifying moment in my life. I hate seeing my brother cry. It reminded me of those nights when he would cry the night away while blaming himself for the sins he had never committed.
“I didn’t do an---ything,” he shook his head, grabbing my collars to give his body enough support to remain standing on his feet.
It was at that moment that I acknowledged that he had been triggered.
“What? who told you did something?” I grabbed his arms and shook his body to get him into reality. He was zoning out and it wasn’t supposed to happen.
After years of therapy, something has triggered him back to the state where he can no longer be recognized as a beta of the pack.
He was looking weak, petrified, and,
Guilty!
“They sai---d----I was just helpi----ng her,” he was shaking in his body and sobbing, crumbling my heart into million little pieces.
“Tanner! Tell me who had brought this discomfort to you?” I tried hiding the clenching of my jaw and look as calm as I could be for him, but it was impossible. Whoever hurt my brother will face the consequences of their actions.
“They said i--- ki----lled her, I whas whal---king and---saw a ---ghirl---and---,” he broke down into tears once he started yammering some incoherent sentences.
“Bring him some water,” I turned my face to Jocelina and shouted at her for standing irresponsive ever since he had arrived. Everybody looked concerned, but that wasn’t going to help Tanner, was it?
Tanner dropped to his knees once he demanded I don’t touch him. It killed me to see him like this and having no idea what had distraught him. I knelt down with him because if he wasn’t on his feet, I won’t be too. I was trying to hold the tears in. I had to stay strong for him.
“Alpha King Aramis!” a guard stole my attention when he arrived at the door and lifted a letter with a green seal on it.
The green seal represented The Dark Autumn Pack.
Before I could get up on my feet and grab the letter out of the hands of my guard, Tanner sped up. I didn’t expect him to react this way. It was almost like he was expecting it.
He grabbed the letter and then backed away from us. His eyes were at us while he held the letter close to his chest.
“Tanner! Let me read it,” I offered, stretching my arm out for him, but he steadily shook his head. It was recommended that he stay away from any bad news when he was triggered, so whatever this letter held, he knew it was for him.
He tore open the letter and started reading it. I had two options: either let him read him or snatch it out of his hands, which will lead him into more agony.
He was going to read the letter anyway, so I let him.
I wish I hadn’t.
“Th---is can’t be true,” he shook his head in disbelief, “She cannot do this to me,” he whimpered in front of his pack members.
“Tanner! Who did what?” I inquired, but the tears falling down his eyes compelled a gasp out of my lips.
“She rejected me, she rejected me via sealed letter,”
Those words from his lips felt like many silver daggers being stabbed into my chest.
A bitch’s rejection has caused my brother agony.

Alpha King Aramis’ POV: Tanner dropped the letter and retreated back until his back hit the wall. I galloped, grabbing the letter from the floor, and read it out loud without any delay. “Dear Alpha King Aramis,” it was too hard to focus on the letter when my baby brother was sobbing crazily in front of me, “I am writing this letter on behalf of my pack and demanding justice. Your brother has committed a serious crime against the mate of the Royal Beta of our pack; Markus Hart. Tanner was witnessed assaulting and murdering his mate Savia Perk today. The incident is horrifying for our pack and is a terrible act committed by the Alpha King’s brother. You have always promised justice and stayed true to your words.

Phoenix Hart’s POV:My pack was going crazy about this whole situation. Savia’s body was left at the Wailing River for the Wailing Brides to collect. The issue left was regarding Tanner and me.“You should have been the first to call for his jail time,” Iris had finally found a proper time to make me look bad in front of my family. We all have gathered around in the living room to discuss this matter and try resolving it without anyone breaking any rules.“Markus is not looking good, he just wants to spill blood,” Zion came out of Markus’ room and sat down with Iris, who had already started spreading venom.“It is an unfortunate event. Who would have thought my daughter’s arrival back in the pack would get scarred like this!” father let out a sigh as he passed me a weak smile. I know it shouldn’t have been about me and rather about Savia, but as a father, he had seen me sit silently in the corner my entire life. He was upset that the only time I got my moment to shine, it was replaced

Zion had taken me back to my room while the Alpha King was yelling and shouting at my father. This had turned into a whole mess.“I am fine now,” I held my brother’s hand, preventing him from pulling a blanket over me. I didn’t feel like lying down in the bed, I needed to be outside and hear what was going on.The mate bond broke after the death of Tanner yet I didn’t feel the pain of it, why?I know I have never loved Tanner and he knew that too, but I had accepted him as my mate then why didn’t I get aware of his demise?“You should stay here, he is very angry right now,” Veronica and Iris walked into the room after us as well.“Is nobody with dad outside?” I asked out of curiosity, if we were all here, who was with father?His guards wouldn’t be able to help him make decisions, why were we hiding and my dad was facing all the wrath?“I am going outside,” I jumped out of the bed while ignoring the eye roll from Iris and exited the room to meet my father in the foyer. Zion had rushed

I had my eyes on my father, waiting for him to make a decision. As for me, I wasn't ready to sacrifice myself because they have made a mistake so I shouldn’t be the one to pay the price.I understand that my pack was in danger but giving up myself wasn't the right thing to do either.However, my siblings felt otherwise and it hurt me the most."I'm ashamed of you all!" my father finally stated loudly enough for them to know he wasn't pleased with them, "It's a shame that you are suggesting we send our virgin daughter, sister, the daughter of the pack to this man's mansion, who will be preparing the worst tortures for my daughter once he gets his hands on her. So, my decision is that we fight for the safety of our daughters," My father announced determinedly but he didn't receive the cheer he was probably expecting."Everybody prepare for the worst, then," Zion announced with a lack of energy, hands tied behind his back, and followed his mate to the room.

I have watched my father’s dead body being taken away by the wailing brides. Many pack members mourned that day, but it was marked as the darkest day for me.The only one who had always defended me and shielded me from greedy eyes was now gone. I was left in the hands of these brutal people, who hadn’t stopped accusing me of my father’s death this whole time. I didn’t get any consolation from anyone, they all avoided me like I was a disease.I have returned to the pack house mansion just a minute ago when I heard someone calling for me.“What happened today was terrible,” Zion was standing in the middle of his people and in front of the empty chair that belonged to my father once.The big tears in my eyes wet my eyelashes, I blinked them away and refused to sit down.“My father was a great warrior; he was a great Alpha of the pack. He had maintained alliances with the other packs and always kept us safe but his one mistake cost him his life.” As he finished, everybody turned their hea

My heart seemed to have jumped out of my throat when my eyes spotted the present standing before my door. It wasn’t Zion anymore, he couldn’t be.He had tears in his eyes so it has to be someone else. My siblings were standing behind him with a sad glister glooming in their eyes.“We never thought we have weakened you so much.” Veronica filled her face in her hands and sobbed whilst Hassel turned his face to the other side.“I shouldn’t have blamed you for all that,” Markus stepped ahead and filled me in his arms. I broke down instantly as I recalled my father.He would have been so happy to see us all together. I felt Zion and Veronica wrapping us in a group hug too. Even though Iris and Hassel were not happy, it didn’t matter anymore. My siblings have realized their mistakes and that’s all that mattered to me.“Now! Let’s stand together like a wall and see who can steal our sister from us,” Zion broke the hug and announced as he secretly wiped the tears clean and acted tough.“I lov

Things were bound to change after my family horribly betrayed me. I was poisoned with so much love that I couldn’t even feel the bitterness in the alcohol while chugging it down.They were aware of my doubt in the loyalty of others, hence they used my desire to be accepted and loved by them against me and disguised as a loving family just to kill my wolf.I didn’t only lose Nix that night, I was no longer able to carry the title of the Warrior among the powerful creatures because I was not a supernatural creature anymore.I was a mere flesh and bone creature called a human now, ready to be sacrificed by her family.I woke up not in my comfortable bed but on a hard ground. The hard light was penetrating my eyelids, shaking me awake at the arrival of the day after the horrible night was passed.“Uh!” I groaned in pain when moving a muscle, my body was sore. Being just a human was a terrible feeling, I felt weak, and hard to wake up.I still managed to peel my eyelids open when I smelt t
Alpha King Aramis Chap-12*Unmarked Widow*
My heart began to pound in my head, my body feeling an icy wave stabbing my skin like tiny little needles. The goosebumps covered my skin as I pushed my body into the corner and far away from the coffin.My mind couldn’t stop making up queries about what was this and why was it here?What was I seeing? Why was there a dead body of my mate preserved in a coffin? Why wasn’t his body handed over to the wailing brides?This wasn’t good for so many reasons. Not only would I be tortured watching him sleeping for eternity but the wailing brides will never let the Alpha King Aramis keep Tanner’s body.I was startled and shaken up badly, tears were streaming down my eyes as I forgot to blink. I couldn’t bring myself to go near the coffin and see his face from close. Sliding against the wall, I embraced my knees, pulling my legs closed and my knees to my chest. I could see the hole that silver dagger had left in his chest that he had stabbed himself with before jumping off the window.There w

"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
Alpha King Aramis Chap-166*Please, Don't Let Go*
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
