He didn’t let me stay in Tanner’s room. After he left, a guard came to collect me from outside the door of Tanner’s room and led me back to Aramis’ room.“Why don’t you let me stay in some other room if you think I am such a bad person to cheat on you?” I raised my voice, watching him set a table with food.“Eat your dinner and go to bed,” he mumbled, stepping away from the food table, “We still have a mission to take care of,” he murmured under his breath to help me know why he was still taking care of me.“Oh! Is that why?” I scoffed for being too foolish. And here I thought he was taking care of me. He was only looking after the weak me as he was going to use me against those who plotted everything against Tanner.I would want Tanner to get justice too, but Aramis had hurt me by making me realize that’s only what I was for him.“I will be staying in the guest room.” he didn’t even spare me a glance and exited the room.“Right!” I said to myself, “we still have a mission.” I closed
“Now get ready for the ceremony,” he cleared his throat and picked up his suit to leave for the bathroom. I stood in my spot thinking about everything he had said to me.Well, it seemed like I had a mating ceremony to attend.I got dressed up as he had asked me to and walked out of the room after he had left. It took me some time to get ready because I had to fix my hair and do my makeup.I didn’t want Morgana to see me and be satisfied with her triumph.Once I reached the garden where the whole venue was set, I saw the pack members. Aramis hadn’t invited anyone but the pack only.Joce was wearing a golden dress and a huge smile of victory on her lips. As soon as her eyes landed on me, her smirk grew wider.She walked in my direction and I straightened my back and cleared my head for a debate.“So, you got all ready for my daughter’s engagement,” she smacked her lips to spread her lipstick when it dried up on her nasty lips.“How does it feel to have everything and then watch it slip
After Aramis blasted that bomb at their heads, agitation took over Joce and Morgana."And I would also like my mate to stand by my side while we see these two mates accept each other and get tied to each other for the rest of their lives," Aramis stretched his hand out for me and I accepted it.Joce seemed like she was going to pass out."Can we please have some moment alone?" Joce asked the crowd, but nobody heard her.Morgana was panicking and Aramis had wrapped his arm around my waist. I was now standing with him and smirking at Morgana, loved how the tables have turned!"Aramis! What is going on? How can you play my daughter like that?" after not being able to get help from anyone, Joce rushed onto the stage and said to Aramis."You wanna talk about playing games?" Aramis grunted, his body was letting out this heat that could burn anyone."She must have filled your ears with malice," she had her eyes on my face. She wrinkled her nose to display disgust for me."Your lies have come
We had been so excited ever since we heard I could be pregnant. That explained all the morning sickness and mood swings.Aramis had called the same salutary who had been checking me to see if I truly was pregnant. I didn't get a chance to get a pregnancy test done because Aramis had already called the doctor home."I'm going to arrange the best pregnancy----there is a thing that people throw when their mate is pregnant," Aramis had been walking from one corner of the room to the other ever since we found out about my pregnancy."Old clothes?" I asked, having no idea what he was trying to say."No! Why would we throw old clo---oh yes! We will need to get you bigger clothes too," he stroked his chin, "and a special outfit for the pregnancy shower," he said and suddenly his eyes grew wider, "Yes! The shower," he said and I burst out laughing."What do you think people do? Take showers together?" I mocked him and he stopped pacing, placing his hands on his waist and watching my face with
“How dare you!” she got up on her feet and lunged my way but couldn’t even reach an inch closer because Victor stopped her.“You cannot disrespect the Luna Queen,” there was a smirk on his face when reminding her that she is an omega’s wife and I am a Luna Queen.“Huh!” Morgana scoffed, freeing her hand from his hand and then glaring at me. She stormed inside her room and slammed the door shut while Victor sneakily stole his eyes from me.“I know this is not how you wanted to have a mate,” I said, “But trust me, things will get better,” I told him what I have learned from my own experiences. My whole life was a test and it finally got better for me.It will change for him as well.“I don’t think so. I am just an Omega, who gets ridiculed and mocked in this pack. It is never going to get better for us Omegas,” he finished talking and then walked past me to the out. I bet he didn’t want to be in the same room as her as well.Even though Morgana herself was an Omega, she was flying high
Aramis hadn’t been able to sit tight ever since it was confirmed that I am indeed pregnant. He had been walking around, assigning tasks to everyone to celebrate this good news. He had sent out gifts and sweets to every pack too.He made me walk hand in hand to the breakfast table where all kinds of dishes were served. The bad thing was that I didn’t even feel like eating anything. But I wanted to be present with him in his happiness.Joce had a very dull reaction to the news. She hadn’t looked away from my face, making me uncomfortable. Morgana had joined the breakfast table wearing a royal blue dress.“Congratulations,” Joce passed Aramis a close-lip smile. It must be hard for her to see me sitting next to my mate while carrying his child too.“Thank you, did you congratulate Phoenix?” Aramis wasn’t a fool, he had his eyes everywhere. He always noticed every little thing but never really spoke up.Now that it was about me, he would not miss a chance to speak up.“Congratulations Phoe
“Imagine what we can do with his powers,” I kept tailing after Aramis after Victor told us about his power.“Yeah! I will organize the best way to get a lot out of his knowledge and power,” Aramis was headed towards his car after he finished the breakfast.I expected him to show a little more enthusiasm, instead, he just acted cold.“Aramis! I think we should give him a chance,” I stopped right when we reached the car. Instead of getting into the car, he stayed outside for a moment and then faced me.“What are you planning?” he interrogated me. I was surprised he had to ask because it was pretty obvious what we can do with his power.“Aramis, we can find the wailing brides,” I have only said till that point that his expressions changed and I realized he didn’t like the idea.“Phoenix! Leave that on me,” he mumbled without a display of any emotion.“Why? I want to be a part of it,” I was slightly upset that he wanted me to stay out of this. He knew how important it was for me to stay c
I told Aramis what the doctor has told me and he did freak out. He had taken days off from work so that he can turn every stone over to find a cure or a way to get me my wolf back.So far, we have only met disappointment.Victor was doing really well, teaching Omegas and attending meetings to suggest ideas for the betterment of the Omegas. I even saw Morgana looking all confident when she heard he had been asked by the Gammas to help their young pups as well.It was a great achievement for anyone and I was proud of Victor. My health had been decreasing rapidly by now, freaking me out along with Aramis too.“I am going out with Victor tonight. He said he can afford to take me to a fancy dinner,” I heard Morgana talking to her mother. It’s been days and honestly speaking, I have noticed Morgana spending time with Victor a lot more now."And you are happy about it?" Joce asked her, carrying a bit of disbelief in her voice."Yeah, why?" Morgana seemed not so sure why her mother didn't lik
"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
