last update Last Updated: 2023-10-23 22:48:46

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.

    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

    Aaron leaned in and kissed her lips, and Zion made an ooh sound, making them pull away from each other. He had returned from his tour of the house so quickly. Aaron’s affectionate kiss, however, seemed to have banished the fear that had lingered in her, and only he had the power to do that to her.She banished the fear that clouded her mind and focused on the event happening today. It was Zion’s big day, after all.The guests began arriving at exactly 5 p.m., and the first to arrive were Diya, Greg, Nine, and Nina. Zion looked the most excited to see them, and the girls also had excited looks on their faces at his sight. Zion ran over to them, got on his knees, and spoke to them. The girls giggled, as if understanding the words Zion told them.A few other guests arrived following Diya, and then Ivan arrived, surprising them by coming along with a young, red-haired beauty in his arms. It was an upgrade no one expected but appreciated. They looked more than mere acquaintances, and they

    At his sight, she straightened immediately, and the cheerful look she held on her face all the while she spoke with Quincy faded, and she was left with a frown. The vision she had earlier of the purple-eyed man returned, and it made her heart beat at an unsteady pace. Was he the one she saw? Was he behind all the nightmares and hallucinations she had been having? Was that why she felt unsafe whenever she was around him?There was no way she would have seen this coming. What were the chances that the man she had done her best to keep as far away from her as possible had somehow found a way back into her life, this time using his son? That’s if Quincy was even his son. She didn’t know what his end game was, but using his son just to get himself close to her wasn’t the way to go about doing things.“That’s my daddy,” Quincy says, snapping her out of her thoughts, and she glances at him before turning back to Davine, who has a small smile on his face.He looked a little taken aback, not l

    To say Zion had anticipated today would be to say the least. The excitement on his face in the morning during breakfast was impeccable. It was the day of his competition, and he appeared more than confident. He had worked hard to prepare himself physically and mentally for the day ahead. He had listened, learnt and perfected his knowledge just to bring the very best to today, and he deserved to be happy for it. The look on his face told them he was confident in himself and his team, and the other team should watch out for them.Zera, along with Aaron, had cleared out all her schedule today because the most important person was Zion, and the rest would follow behind. They had received the invitation card to the competition venue last week, and it would be at the Bristol Academy, their opponent’s school. It didn’t matter if they were going to meet the competition or if the competition was coming to meet them; they were going to win.At 12:30 p.m., the school bus came to a stop at the pa

    “The Lionel, you know, doesn’t have much time; protect the new Lionel with all you have. He needs you, and you have to believe him, no matter what.”Zera stood before the window, looking out at the settling moon in the quiet room. Aaron had gone ahead to check on Ivan to know the progress of the unmarking ritual while she stayed back. Somehow, the anticipation she had for the unmarking decreased with every hour that passed. She would like to say it had nothing to do with what Quincy told her a week ago and today, but it did. What did he mean by the old and new Lionel? What does protecting him with all she has meant? Wasn’t she protecting him as it was?She didn’t want to think about what he said; it only brought her confusion. But having repeated it twice now made her understand she couldn’t ignore it.What if things go bad tonight? What if something terrible happens? What then?Could Quincy see the future? Why did he speak with his mouth closed? Did he even speak, or was this all in

    The shift was slowly reaching its end for today, and Aaron made Ivana take the lead. He and Zera took a detour to a quieter part of the woods, where they would get the privacy they needed.At first, Zera didn’t know what Aaron was doing but followed, regardless. Soon she did, and her heart beat peaked. It wasn’t her first time with him—far from it—but there was something about the full moon mating that she could never wrap her head around. It always heightened the feeling and made it all appear to be like the first time, even when it wasn’t. The rush, the thrill, the emotions, the need, and the desire.It was something else, and she didn’t tire of experiencing it.“Aren’t we going too far away?” She asked, her tone a little curious.“I know, but I do not want to be interrupted, do you?”She shook her head. “No, I do not,” she replied, and she followed behind without another word.Aaron soon came to a stop in a clear path and turned to her with a smile on his face.“Here’s okay,” he sai

    After Ivan brought Lionel to his quarters at the estate, he laid him on his bed. He did so to watch him and see if he would return to consciousness.She asked Ivan what Lionel’s chances were and if he would die. Ivan stayed silent because he didn’t seem to have the answer she was desperately looking for. It broke her heart, and she didn’t know what to do now.She spent the entire day with him, not leaving when Aaron tried to take her away. She couldn’t fathom the thought of leaving him all alone in this fight. By his side, she wanted to stay, so she didn’t leave.It was a few minutes past noon when Aaron returned and informed her that he had gone to pick Zion up from Greg and Diya’s place. He asked if she wanted to see him.She didn’t want him coming in here and seeing her this way. She didn’t want him to see his uncle in this state, either. He would ask many questions, many of which she wouldn’t be able to answer. She rose from beside Lionel’s bedside with a heavy heart and left the

    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

  • Entwined With The Alpha    Chapter 58: The casualties

    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

    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
