[Aera's POV]Later, I lay in bed staring down at Ayla's sleeping face while fighting the urge to wake her up for another round of fun. Even though we had gone multiple times already, I still just couldn't get enough. Was it because she was my mate that I couldn't stop myself from wanting to feel her
[Ayla's POV] The world around me sways as the sound of the ocean reaches my ears. It's a comforting sound that lulls me in and out of the darkness that surrounds me. Grumbling, I attempt to stay in it, but soon warm light begins to shine through my closed lids, and I know that I won't be able to f
[Ayla’s POV]"I know."Barren didn’t need to point out to me how serious of a situation we were in. However, I knew that convincing those around me that this needed to be done was going to be difficult given my… circumstances."Is it him?" He suddenly asks."Who?" "Aera Lebeau."As he says Aera’s n
I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea for her to find out about my current condition, especially with how unstable her emotions were and my suspicion of someone controlling her. For the time being, it was best to keep my blocked abilities and pregnancy a secret."You aren’t," Aera begins but stops as
[Ayla’s POV]"You and who?" Aera’s voice is cold, and his expression is dark as the words leave his lips. "I don’t think I heard you correctly."Rolling my eyes, I try to ignore the irritation I feel due to his possessiveness. I was an adult and could do whatever I wanted with whoever I wanted. Howe
[Aera's POV]"Ah, Aera, faster!"Ayla's pleasure-filled moans echo around us, mixing beautifully with the sounds of her juices sloshing around my fingers as I move them in and out of her core, building her up and then stopping until she comes down and then building her up again.If she was going to
[Ayla's POV] I watch with wide eyes as Aera throws Barren out the window and then dives out behind him while I and the rest of the patrons of the fucking shop we are in watch. Shit, what was this man thinking doing something like that in public? Didn't he realize that he could be easily recognized
[Aera's POV] I sit beside Ayla, waiting for Barren to return with the medic that was supposed to be taking care of Ayla while she was under to help deal with the problem in the dream plain. The minute we arrived at Elementalis, he led us to the small medical room we were in and disappeared. I was
Nodding, I take a deep breath and rush to Ayla’s side while Gwen begins the operation, and after a few minutes have passed, I hear a shriek fill the air before she is lifting a tiny creature into the air and handing it over to Brian to clean while she cuts the bloody cord attached.Once she is finis
[Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean for
When I reach my parents, their faces fill with relief, and I feel my heart squeeze. Even though they hadn’t spoken a word about everything that happened, I was sure that they were now expecting me to snap at any given second. I still had a lot of making up to do in order to gain everyone’s trust an
[Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything e
This had been proof to me that we were intended to be together since we didn’t meet just once by chance but twice.After that, I approached her and began to woo her since I couldn’t stand the thought of losing her. It was a love that I never imagined could exist, let alone for me, but she made me so
[Alphonze’s POV]I stand to the side, watching as everyone present for the evening enjoys themselves, laughing, dancing, and being merry. It had been a while since I had attended something like this, so it was taking a bit to get used to it again.The last time I came to a full moon ball was when I
"It seems that your date for this evening has arrived," Alphonze announces, clapping me on the shoulder. "I wouldn’t distract you any longer."Nodding, I give him a look and don’t miss the sorrow that flashes in his eyes as he looks from Ayla to me."Hold on as tight as you can because you never kno
[Aera's POV]Soft music drifts toward me as I stand to the side of the large ballroom, waiting for my date to arrive.Despite all the chaos that had been happening in our world, Silas and Alphonze insisted that we have a small, intimate gathering for the full moon as a way to relax and unwind after
[Ayla's POV]The next day, I sit in the passenger seat of Aera's car, staring at Crimsone Tides Estate while fighting the urge to run away. When I entered that building, I'd be making the toughest decision of my life, and I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready.Beside me, Aera remains silent while hol
