Entwined With The Alpha Chapter 17: Supporting Family
There was silence for the next few days that went by. It wasn’t the usual silence; it had more to do with readjusting. Since discovering Lionel’s painful breakup, Zera has divided her time between him, work, and home. He didn’t have many friends. Sesi was his all, and she was his sister, and the Harts were the only friends or family he had, so with all the recent heartbreak, he had kept to himself. Knowing his history with substance abuse, she didn’t want to give him any reason to relapse. His art has become a source of escape for him, and he spends most of his hours painting and going for submission.She disclosed Aaron and Ivan’s plan to unmark him and also wipe his memory of Sesi away. When she asked him if he wanted that, he answered yes without hesitation. It felt almost as if he had been thinking about it himself. He told her he would take anything that would make him think less of his mistake. She didn’t want to believe it was a mistake; they shared so many happy times, some of

At 6 p.m., she heard a car drive in, and she knew it was Lionel. She went into Zion’s room and took his hand, and together they made their way out of the bedroom and into the living room. She let him hold on to the birthday gift bag they got for Nine and Nina, Greg and Diya’s twin girls.They came outside the house, and they met Lionel beside his car and Ivan standing beside him. Whatever they spoke about didn’t lighten Lionel’s mood or worsen it. He kept a neutral expression, and she didn’t want to listen to it. He looked neat and in good spirits; he had his hair brushed to the side, which gave him a mature look. He had a cream shirt and green trousers to keep it simple.“Uncle Lionel! Uncle Ivan!” Zion called out, released her hand, and raced towards them.The two uncles turned to face him, and Lionel bent and picked him up when he got close to him. “You’re so big. You’re even bigger now than the last time I saw you.” Lionel spoke with an incredibly cheerful tone of voice, and if sh

Zera just returned from her first of three lectures today, and she settled in her chair to resume the work on her table when a knock came on the door.Her head lifted, and she set down the pen in her hand. “Who’s it?” she asked, but received silence as a response.She sat back down and was about to resume work when the knock came again; this time she grew annoyed.Unlike what Davine had done by letting himself in weeks ago, the one at the door didn’t open it. However, it didn’t change the fact that their inability to answer had ticked her off.Exhaling, she rose to her feet and approached the door, knowing whoever was there would keep knocking until they wore her out.She walked to the door, and opening it, she spoke. “I do not appreciate your inability to answer simple questions!” She snapped before realising the one who stood before her was Ivan.Ivan was the last person she expected to find at the University today. He had never visited her at her place of work before, and no matter

“Are you leaving already?” Ms. Sky Raymond, Zera’s colleague at the university, asked as she saw her walking towards the car.They have never been very close since she started working here over five years ago. She was a few years older, with brown eyes and black hair, and always wore a bright smile on her face. They weren’t enemies, either. They exchanged hellos and good mornings whenever they saw each other. At first, she thought her smile was a friendly gesture towards her, but she soon found out that Sky was friendly. It was nice to know. Still, that didn’t change the nature of their relationship. The longest conversation they have had these past years has been under ten minutes, and that was during the university’s anniversary. It was expected to mingle and socialise at those events.Zera’s circle was always small, and after she returned to the university, it became smaller. Just as Gordon pointed out many weeks back, she didn’t have friends at the university. Daniel was her only

She wanted to hear from him. Though a part of her could put it together. It was an easy things to do since she wasn't a child.“We kind of knew each other three years ago during the fundraiser,” he answered.“You slept with her.” She put it out. She wasn’t a fan of his word game, so she spelled it out for him.He nodded, and that explained how became so different at the realisation of Aaron’s presence.“You slept with a staff member at Stanford, and you didn’t tell me,” she demanded, doing her best to keep her voice low.He held his hands up and said, “That was three years ago, Zera, many months before we got back together.”“It changes nothing. Don’t you think I would have handled things much differently if I knew about your affair with her?” She frowned, not very happy with him.He shook his head and said, “It was just once; do not give too much into it.”She knew she didn’t have any reason to be mad; they weren’t a thing when all that happened. They were enemies, or at least not o

Aaron kept glancing up at Davine every once in a while, and though Zera noticed, she said nothing about it. Maybe he was putting together his theory like she had, and there was no problem with that.After the last staff member, Mrs. Shelly Green, shared her work and home experiences in the last year, they called it a wrap on the talk experience. The next plan of the night was the mingle section and getting to know each other better. Aaron asked if she wanted to leave, but she didn’t want to; for some strange reason, she felt the urge to stay.A few staff members approached them and said hello. While some were acquainted with Aaron from the fund-raiser over three years ago, others knew him from the news.Zera moved to say hello to a few staff members she knew as well. After a few fake smiles, she decided she had done enough for the night and instead returned to stand with Aaron. She came with two glasses of wine and handed one to Aaron, and they watched the show from a distance.“Do yo

Zion's birthday, which felt as if it was so far away, was now a few days away. And so even as they prepared for the full moon, they also prepared for the big 7, as Zion loved to call it. Zera anticipated the day, and who better to help her plan than Diya? She was, after all, Zion's godmother.It had been a while since Diya and Zera had done this: go out together and talk about random things while shopping together. Diya, who had taken a step back after birthing the twins, wanted to return to work after a year and a month. She had reapplied to the CEO desk about the position she once filled, but her manager told her the position had been given to another. She told her the only way to get it back was to sign an agreement with the company promising to not have another child for at least another five years. Failure to comply with this agreement would result in a lawsuit from her company. This wasn't a difficult deal, as Diya didn't plan on having any more children after the twins, but she

The day kicked off smoothly; it was Friday, which placed the full moon the next week. These were the two days Zera anticipated. Zion's birthday, because she wanted to celebrate with her son and family on such a special day. Zion's school competition, and the full moon, because that would be when Lionel's unmarking would take place. When Ivan told her the date many weeks ago, she didn't know it would come this quickly. Ivan did everything, including calculations and proofing. The good thing was that the days she had looked forward to were already here.She had told Diya about the talk she had with Aaron about getting her a job days ago at his company. Diya told her she shouldn't have bothered Aaron, but how could she not? She was her best friend, and after everything they had been through together, she knew that Diya's troubles were her troubles as well. If she could help lessen the pain, she would. Diya thanked her and told her she would speak to Greg and hear what he had to say. Yest

Eight months later,“I know you’re there; you can come out of hiding now.” Zera said before turning to the mirror she stood in front of.Diya came out of the spot where she had hidden herself beside the door since her arrival a minute ago.“Zera. Hey.”“This baby might have robbed my other senses, but I still have a strong sense of smell. I sniffed you out the minute you stepped into the hallway.” She said this and turned to Diya in her white dress, which stopped over her knees.Diya looked ready for the day, and here she was, not even recognising herself in her dress. She had chased Aaron out of the room because he kept complimenting her overgrown bump and calling her beautiful. She didn’t feel beautiful, and she felt he only said it to make her feel better. That infuriated her and made her send him to Zion’s room.Davine told her eight months ago at the Hart Lab opening that she was a few weeks pregnant. Of course, she didn’t believe him because she was a sage and also because her bo

The Dominio pack has experienced peace like none other since the rest of the packs that survived the war moved back and continued their lives on their own. “Do I look presentable for the night?” Zera asked, turning away from the mirror to face Aaron.He glanced at her from head to toe, and there was satisfaction on his face. “You know, you always look presentable.”She rolled her eyes, giving her silver sweetheart dress one last glance before stepping away from the mirror. “I think you might be talking about yourself, Mr.”He smiled cockily. “I will take it as a compliment,” he said as he brushed over his grey suit. “Shall we go?” he asked, extending an arm to her.“Yes, we shall.” She accepted his hand, and together they stepped out of the room.The opening of Hart’s lab was a small ceremony, but many dignitaries from all over the world welcomed it. After the war, Damor began his work of testing the lab and going through the final reviews. It took him three months, and though he had

Aaron, just like Damor, had moved to attack Lucius, but his minions were willing to put themselves in the way. He had taken down three werewolves, one sage, and is currently battling another sage. It was easier said than done because, unlike the first sage he fought, this one seemed stronger, if there was such a thing. His healing abilities were kicking in to repair the damage to the broken bones and ribs, but they were not fast enough for the assault his body was taking. The sage had kicked the golden dagger away, and he was forced to fight with his hands, which wasn’t a fair fight.“You’re the alpha Aaron from the strongest line?” The sage, who had told him his name before the battle but didn’t care to keep it in mind, spoke. “This is a joke. You do not pose any threat to our alpha.” He spat on the floor.Aaron laughs, and this made the sage raise a brow. “What is so funny?”Aaron pulled himself to his feet and asked, “If I pose no threat, why does your so-called alpha want me dead
Entwined With The Alpha Chapter 57: The enemy
The entire pack was already outside as the night came along. Many had already been training for hours and didn’t see the point of going inside. A lot took it as their last day and just trained, regardless. They had a point; they didn’t know the numbers of those coming against them. It would be safe to consider giving it all, even though they wouldn’t make it out alive. That would be the right way to go.They noticed the presence of Aaron, and those training out in the open field paused and stepped back from each other.“The enemy will be here any minute. They will come with forces stronger than ours, probably more savage than ours; however, there is something they don’t have. The zeal we have.” They mumbled their agreement with his words.“They are coming with the sole aim of taking control, and we will fight with the sole aim of living. They do not get to decide our lives. I know many of you are scared, but so am I. I am afraid, but with that fear, I will use it to fight this battle,
Entwined With The Alpha Chapter 56: What the night holds
Four nights later,Agitation grew within the pack after the fourth night came, and no attack from the Legion of Sages followed. It created doubt in the hearts of many, as they wondered if Lucius was even going to attack. No one slept as they anticipated the attack throughout the night, only to be proven wrong twice.Aaron had nothing to tell the pack; he had known that Lucius was not a man of his word, and this was to be expected. It didn’t mean he wouldn’t attack, but he wanted to play with them first, stretch their patience, and see how far it would go.Zera didn’t care that Lucius didn’t attack; she saw it as an opportunity to train Lionel. She had seen him battle Aaron days ago and thought he could do better with a little training. Though she didn’t get the chance immediately, she got it the next day and has trained with him since. She set out as soon as the day broke and has been at it since. She didn’t see them losing to Lucius despite his advantage, and he also wanted to think

Lionel took it better than Zera had initially anticipated because he just nodded and said he was fine with it. She didn’t want to believe his words, but she had to trust that he was telling the truth.When Manon finally arrived, Lionel was one of those to welcome him, as he had no prior visit to this one. There was no bad blood or grudge held, or at least she couldn’t see it.He shook hands with Manon and told him he was the luckiest man alive to have Sesi as his mate. Then he told him to take care of her, or he would hunt him down and kill him. It was a threat, and from the sound of his voice, he was dead serious. That should have been Aaron’s line, but Lionel didn’t care; he said it. He obviously still cared about Sesi and wanted only the best for her.Manon nodded and told him he would not forget his words in case he ever did something to hurt Sesi. Lionel tapped his shoulder and walked away.Zera turned to Aaron and asked him if he had any threats left for Manon, and he shook his h

Aaron was barely awake when he felt a hand on his body, and it wasn’t just any hand, but an arousing one. His skin tingled at the contact, and he squirmed and moved to continue the sleep, assuming it was just a dream. The touch came again, and this hand knew his body well. It knew all the right places it needed to touch and how softly and firmly he wanted each part held. A moan erupted from his mouth, and his eyes opened to find Zera between his legs. He drew a sharp breath at the realisation of what was happening.“You’re awake,” she said, grinning at him, and then stroked him at a medium pace.“Were you hoping I wouldn’t?”“I hoped you would stay asleep a little longer; bite me,” she said.His hand reached out to stroke her face lazily. “With that mouth of yours, I will do whatever you tell me to.”She chuckled and took his head into her mouth. “Fuck! Oh my, Zera, that feels so good.” He moaned, and his head fell back into the pillow, and his eyes fluttered.“Do we have time for thi

With Alpha Kol’s permission, Aaron sent the members of his pack along with the members of the Dominio pack later that day. They went out in threes following his instructions. The reason was because he knew the packs outside might not want to follow the words of the members of the Domino pack to join forces; however, with the presence of the members of the retribution pack among them, their messages would be accepted in a different light. The retribution pack members will help convince the other pack Alpha to join forces in the coming war once they learn about the enemy from them.While at home, he tried to prepare himself.“Am I overthinking this, or is Ivan an even bigger dick than I am on my dick days recently?” Damor asked, stepping into the study and shutting the door behind him. His presence and words moved Aaron’s attention to him. “Ivan had changed a lot, ever since he had ventured into the past of the wise ones, just moments of their execution. It was sure to happen.

Getting a letter from Alpha Lucius was the last thing Aaron expected the next day, but it came in the morning. No one knew how it came, as Nigo and Lawrence, the betas on watch, had seen no one drop it and only saw the letter much later into the dawn of the day.Greeting Alpha of the Dominio Pack, I would use this as a formal announcement since you already know and there is no point in hiding and seeking anymore. We are coming for your blood first, and then your head next. You have these last four days to put all your houses together. Because the cleansing is coming. You had luck taking out my favourite sage girl, but I will attack with a legion of sages, and I would love to see you die trying to take them down. I wish you all the best, but cleansing is a natural order of things, so there are no hard feelings.Your friend, LuciusAaron squeezed the letter after reading it and tossed it to the ground.The arrival of the retribution pack as well as the presence of Alpha Viktor over the
