ARIA POVMarcus came in and took a picture of me before rushing off again. I tried to go after him, but Timothy locked the door after him. I had to stay there for about three hours alone with my thoughts. I tried speaking with Timothy, but he wouldn't respond. I remember apologizing to him countless times that day. I knew he was still there and was listening to me; he didn't respond, though. I decided it was his right to be angry and annoyed. He was grieving, after all. I knew how he left, so I should be more understanding. I sat on the floor, rested my back on the door, and stood still like that until I smelled a familiar scent coming my way. It's one of the scents I detest, and it wasn't Marcus. I quickly stood up and looked around for where I could hide. I wanted to kill Alpha Matthias, but not defenseless like this; I knew he was much stronger than me and would kill me in a heartbeat. I cannot fight a losing fight; I have a father to avenge. The space was empty; it seeme
I waited impatiently, but nothing happened; I was sure he would have gotten to us by then and had bitten me, but nothing happened. I smelled another familiar scent in the two; no, it was two different scents. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Alpha Matthias frozen there with his mouth wide open and his eyes filled with shock. I looked above him and found Killian holding his tail back. I looked beside me and found Darius, in his wolf form, glaring at Alpha Matthias. When did they get there? Relief washed over me; seeing them by my side was reassurance that I wouldn't die here today. "You're here!" I shouted excitedly. Timothy collapsed behind me at the moment, and I rushed to his side. I shook him, trying to wake him up, but he didn't budge. He was still breathing, so that was a relief. I was sure he passed out because of exhaustion from the fight. He had broken a lot of bones, and he needed time to heal. Darius walked towards me and nudged me with his head, "Are you okay?" He aske
ARIA POVIt was already dark when we left, and we arrived at the castle in the middle of the night. The weather was freezing, and I carried myself inside with the sheet covering my naked body. I headed to my room while Killian carried Timothy away. Once in my room, I was again left alone with my thoughts. I sighed and walked over to my bed. It was a long and exhausting day. If someone had told me that day would have been like that, I would have argued because of the way each day had been uneventful except for the bickers I had with Marcus. Speaking of Marcus, I wondered why he did that. Did he leave me there to die, or was it his plan to get them there or… I sighed again; I didn't know what to think about him. Ever since I met him, he's been messing with my brain, making decisions that had me question everything he does. I wanted to hate him for all that he had done to me, but I just couldn't; my stupid heart just couldn't let me do it. He was walking around with the same fac
DARIUS POVKillian was the first to leave Marcus' room, but I stayed behind, waiting for us to be alone. My expression drew darker as soon as the door shut behind him."What would you have done?"I asked Marcus. "Hmm?" He raised a brow, and his nose wrinkled. "What are you talking about now?" He complained. "If Alpha Matthias had done anything to Aria, what would you have done?" I repeated. He paused, bit his lower lip, then ran a hand through his hair, "Nothing would have happened to her. He wouldn't have killed her, at least." "But you don't know how that man is!" I shouted at him, "You know I'm not playing when I say I would have killed you as well if anything happened to her." I threatened. My eyes drew darker, and a growl escaped from the back of my neck; he growled at me as well, "I won't warn you again; stay away from Aria; don't even try to get to know her. I will not watch her suffer by your hands anymore." "Even thinking about what could have happened to her makes me ma
MARCUS POVThe pass over of the Alpha duties was taking longer than I wanted, and it was getting boring. These were the kind of things Killian specialized on and loved. I loved taking care of official duties and paperworks, making sure everything is recorded and according to protocol. He must read through everything and I was just not like that. I rather have our secretary do those things. He was trustworthy enough and if he dares to betray me, he knows I'll just rip his heart out so he wouldn't dare think of it. I was in the meeting but I and Darius were in hiding, listening in the conversation behind some shelves, we were completely drenched in pepper water so our scent wouldn't be picked up. "Darius, I'm getting out of here." I told him then adjusted the mask on my face, "This meeting is too boring and draining the life out of me." I complained then walked out. Everyone was shocked to see me. "Who are you and why are you coming out of there?" One of the questioned."Umm… he's
ARIA POV"I only wanted to say thank you." I shouted at him. "Well I don't need it." He shouted back. "Understood." "Good." With that, he turned and walked away.I went to look for Killian then told him what happened. He was furious and asked me to show him where the body was. I took him to late Alpha Carrington's body. Killian growled at it before turning to me, "Are you sure you're okay? Did that bastard do anything to you? Did he touch you?!" Killian asked whilst searching my body for any injury with his hands and eyes. "I'm okay." I assured him. "Stop being so worried, he's already dead." "You're right. It's a good thing he's dead but I wished I was the one who ended his life. It would have helped relief the anger I'm feeling right now." Killian said, his nose flared up as he spoke, he cleanched his fists, making his veins to protrude from his muscles. It was obvious he was very enraged. "Killian, stop being so upset." I tried persuading him. I grabbed his arm and squeezed
ARIA POV"No, no, no, no!" I shook my head. I cannot redress myself again. I have to resist. I painfully tore my eyes away and looked at the ceiling. "I can't. I can't sit for another three hours just to dress up!"Killian laughed at me, "By the way, why are you dressed so fancy? Are you going somewhere?" He questioned and I rolled my eyes at him but made sure not to meet his eyes or his hard chest or hard dick. "Now you ask? Well we have to go somewhere." I answered. "Where?" Killian raised a brow and a corner of his lip."The garden. That's as far as I'm telling you. The rest is a surprise!" I answered excitedly."Well… it's not much of a surprise if I'm expecting it, isn't it?" "Well, you're the one who asked!" I shouted. I pouted and crossed my hands under my breast. "Still, you could have kept your lips sealed and probably wouldn't have said, it's a surprise…" he shrugged. "You know, just my opinion." I heard he began to walk towards me. "Your opinion sucks!" I stocked out m
MARCUS POVAfter dealing with my newly acquired pack's Beta, I went to analyze their army. They weren't much like my birth pack but together, they'll be invincible. If I acquire more packs and secure their troops, I can take over the entire werewolf realm and no one will be able to stop me. The idea was tempting but I'm very sure my brothers will kick against it. Party poopers. I went back home after two days and saw Darius and Killian fighting over who Aria should be with. Darius argued that since he'll be away soon and Killian will stay to take care of the paperworks, he should get to be with her longer but Killian argued that that was the only time he has a chance cause he's also busy. Aria had to come up with a way to solve the issue, scheduling their times with her so it's equal and fair.On a tiring hot afternoon, I returned and found out Darius wasn't around but just Killian. I decided to go see him only to hear him fucking Aria. I heard their voices from the hallway even b
BONUS CHAPTERKILLIAN POVAria took a quick sip of the orange juice I gave her then brought her attention back to me.She was dressed in a black bodycon overall which hugged her curves perfectly. I had a headset blocking my ear — I gave Aria one as well but she didn't wear it since she wasn't the one shooting.I closed one eye, my right hand holding my gun firmly and the other supporting it as I aimed.I aimed for the target then fired. The shot was probably very loud, I saw Aria cover her ears from my rearview, she probably regrets now why she did wearing a headset as well.She sighed then looked over to where I was aiming. The tin can was on the ground now with a hole in its body."Wow!" She exclaimed then started clapping for me. She stood up and walked over to me. The cool breeze going through her hair, and messing it up made her look like when we were done with our rounds in bed.I smiled sweetly at her as she strolled over. The sound of the trees were helpful for calming my hear
Aria POV“Sure, that's enough time to let loose. If you're all okay with it then so am I.” Darius answered.I finished writing the letter with that confirmations and sent it to the school. I joined Killian in arranging things for the vacation.Since he'll be taking a sudden vacation, he needs to take care of important matters then clear his schedule for vacation.The preparations went smoothly and the next day came before I realized it. I woke up the kids and helped them get ready to the academy without telling them where we were really going to.Everything was ready and we got into the car and drive off.“Mommy, where are we going?” Darren asked curiously, he looked suspicious and knew we weren't going to school.“Where are you supposed to be now?” I asked him.“The academy!” Richard answered for him.“So why are asking that, Darren?” I directed at Darren again.“Because you're coming with us. And also Daddy Darius and Daddy Killian are coming as well. Why? Are we in trouble?” Darren
“Even if you did, we have no choice but to accept it and forgive you so what's the point in asking that?” I rolled my eyes at his comment and turned to Killian.“Surely you don't think that too.”He raised his hand in surrender, “Hey, I'm just a simple werewolf trying to enjoy his stack, can't I do that?”I rolled my eyes them rest back on the chair, “I hate the both of you.”They both chuckled, “No, you don't.”And they're fucking right, I do not. I love them. I love them more every day I wake up, every time I see our kids and everytime I go to sleep and envisioned them with my eyes closed. Every little gift or gestures they give towards me, the small and the big always wins me over every fucking time.I spent all night thinking about where we should spend our family vacation. I had a few in mind but I realized that we weren't the only ones going there.The kids will be there as well and I needed to cater the vacation to what they'll want and enjoy as well.I thought long and hard, t
Aria POV“I'm sorry.” My voice cracked so I cleared my throat, it was only slightly louder than the first one. Damn me.“What? What are you saying? Speak louder, I can't hear you.”I looked up and glared at him?He can't hear me? Even the weakest omega could hear a whisper much less him. He was messing with me and I obviously deserved it.“Babe, I'm sorry, I was crazy yesterday but you didn't do anything wrong.” I pulled myself together and begged.“Yeah I certainly didn't because I only just got there!” He added and I nodded.“I'm sorry honey, will you forgive me? Please? Please? Please….?” I pouted as I begged, making an adorable baby eye hoping it'll do the trick in melting his heart. “I was stupid and I promise not to ever do that again.”He chuckled slightly then looked out the window. I could tell he was wavering. I tugged at his arm and continued insisting. “Come on, Daddy.” I said teasingly and I shot me a look. I smiled mischievously and he rolled his eyes.“Do you think this
Aria POVAfter talking with Killian, I went to look for Darius. He was on site in a new playground construction for kids. It was already getting dark and he still has no plans of returning. I guess he was also really angry with me.I summoned up courage and went to the construction site. The was there, talking with some architects and engineers.The site was nearly done and it seemed it was going to be the biggest playground for kids ever made. It was beautiful with every toys and attraction for kids imaginable.He was the one that brought up the idea and it warms my heart to see him actively accomplishing it. He was a really Daddy, making decisions as a father.I remember how he kept on spoiling the kids, buying whatever they wanted. I believe it was because of how his parents treated him, he doesn't want the kids to feel that way ever so he's trying his best to be the exact opposite.While I appreciate that he's loving and caring for the kids, I had to make sure he limits himself.H
Aria POVThe scrunching sun set on my face, it was just morning yet the sun was hot. I could tell the day was going to be a bad one.Not long after I woke up, my newborn baby, baby Harry, woke up as well and began crying, his screams were so loud that I immediately got out of bed and rushed to his nursery not being able to stand the screaming.Just as I was getting into the nursery, nannies rushed in as well. “Good morning your grace” they greeted Aria with a bow then turned to attend to Harry.Just give him to me,” I commanded them and they did just so.Harry cried for a while in my hands before stopping while I brought out her breast for him to suck. I was very tired and exhausted even though I just woke up. I slowly sat down and tried to relax.The morning went on routinely, I sat down with the rest of our kids for breakfast but Killian or Darius joined us for breakfast. Wonder what's wrong?I was getting a bit worried about them and wondered if I was too harsh on them yesterday. I
“So… has everyone eaten?”"No mommy!" They chorused.Aria finished bathing baby Harry, she took her four kids to the dinning area where breakfast was served for everyone.She breastfeeds Harry again while helping the boys with their breakfast. The boys fought for her attention in helping them, calling her back and forth and during this chaos, Killian appeared."And what's going on here, children? Are you stressing out your mother again?" Killian asked teasingly as he strode over to where Aria was sitting."Oh thank the moon goddess you finally decided to come help me out." Aria said sarcastically, "Too bad we have to cut short your relaxation." Aria rolled her eyes then narrowed them at him."Hey, why are you getting mad at me? I came as soon as I woke up." Killian defended himself."Well thanks for waking early and helping out." Aria sounded even more sarcastic and angry. "It's been really helpful.""Okay, I'm sensing a lot of hostility from you, is everything alright? Did I do anyth
The voice of the baby wailing was the first thing Aria heard in the morning, it woke her up from bed and she groaned as she sat up, pulling aside the covers.She rubbed her eyes to get rid of the remaining sleepiness in her eyes and got out of bed. She rushed to the room the crying was coming from, it was just opposite her room.That room was a second toilet in her chambers but ever since her first son, it was converted into a nursery for her kids to be close to her.She had moved out of the room she stayed when she first came to the pack, her personal chambers was prepared for her after her mating ceremony with her mates.It took her a while to get used to the new style of living but she got a hang of things after a while. In her chambers was like another family which consisted of only women expect for the guards station at the doors.The chambers originally, had a nursery which was much bigger and spacious than the one in the toilet but it was located far from her room so she had her
They had gathered some wood and put it around Marcus lifeless form and soon a fire was formed and he was engulfed in flames.No one said anything, they observed his obituary in silence, Killian the most silent of them all.“He was the last one to get out the fire when the house was burning, he was so scared. Now he is turning to ashes, in the same fire that consumed his heart. I saved him then, but I couldn't save him now.”Killian turned to Darius after his statement, a sense of loneliness covering his eyes. His brother was short of words until Aria swayed, almost falling until she was caught.“Aria!” Darius held her tightly, her eyes were sealed shut and he began to fear the worst, “She needs to see a doctor.” With a swoop, she was in his arms and he was walking ahead. Kai put out the fire and turned to follow his brother, but he took one look at Marcus before running off to catch up with Darius. Right now his present was more important, and that was Aria.It had been days since sh
