ARIA POVIt's obvious we didn't play any games anymore. When evening came, we went for the carnival Darius was talking about. I had never been to one but I've heard many things about it. The place was packed with people and children playing all kinds of games. Darius won me a huge pink stuffed teardy bear. I hugged it so tight. It was soft and fluffy. I held onto it with one of my hand as we went of with the day. I bought some cotton candy. The sugary flavor was something I didn't know I needed in my life. My father never got me any of these foods to eat and I definitely didn't get the chance to when Alpha Matthias captured me and made me his slave. *****There was even a circus so we went to watch the show which both entertaining and funny. To say the least, I had a swell time. We decided to back to the ship around 1 which pissed Killian when we returned.Darius was so happy to see Killian that mad. He was hysterical. "See, big bro. I think I won this one, she's over the moon
ARIA POV"He couldn't be here right?" I asked Killian by my side who equally shares the same distraught look on his face. "He has no business being here. But he is here." Killian answered. I didn't want to believe that. I wanted to think we were mistaking but Killian had to confirm it. Now what's going to happen? What is Marcus doing here and why? Is he here for another of his mischievous plans? Won't he ever leave me alone? What did I do to him? Ugh! These questions filled my head but some can only be answered by time and the rest, by Marcus. "I know he's your brother but I must say, he's a real psycho." I commented angrily. I was bitting my bottom lips hard to contain my anger. He was here to ruin my vacation. Ruin my joy and. Only when I'm unhappy can he ever be happy. Ugh! Killian chuckled, "I'm not offended. I want to curse at him as well and I'll do it to his face." He gave me a small smile, his eyes were soft on me, he took my hand in his and intertwine them like he
ARIA POVI felt my heart getting torn apart as my eyes went over to Marcus and Lauren again. They kisses openly with no care in the world and my chest tightened from just watching. I wants to humiliate me, make me feel bad and it was working. I know nobody knows us here but I felt ashamed. I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me. I felt my eyes sting as a watched, my lips quivered and although I try to be strong, I don't think I'll be able to last any longer. A hand suddenly blocked my view and I was able to peel my eyes away. I gulped down the lump that had formed on my throat and looked away. I turned to Killian, he dropped his hand and placed it over my hand. "Hey, don't watch that." He says, his eyes were softer than before. He gave it a little squeeze, "Don't let that bastard ruin our day, okay?" I nodded in response. That's what I'd like too. For his shenanigans to not affect me but I caught myself staring again when they went to the beach. Marcus taught Lauren how
DARIUS POVWhen Killian came to me and tell me all about Marcus, I had a feeling I was going to encounter the same thing and I did. The next day, when Aria and I were out again, we saw Marcus. I had gone to a mall to buy some clothes and souvenirs for our trip. Aria seemed to be in a better mood until our nose caught his scent. I growled internally. "Aria, let's get out of here." I turned to her and said but she shook her head. "Come on, let's not let him affect us. We came here to shop. Let's do that." "We'll do that but else where. Come let's go check out." I paid for the items we had bought and left for the door. On our way out, Marcus called out behind us. Lauren was with him as well. "Where you two going?" He asked then looked from me to Aria. I just grab Aria and stormed out of there without answering. I could bet that he was livid from the way I walked out on him. Serves him right. We were out on the streets, me holding everything we bought, Aria saw a dress she liked
MARCUS POVI glanced over to my copy of schedule that I stole from Killian. I memorized their stops for the day. As I stared at it I suddenly felt stupid and somewhat sad. I sighed. What was I even doing? Why am I even doing all this? Why can't I just leave her alone? When Darius came to my ship and confronted me, I felt so stupid when I couldn't answer any of his questions. I was right and he was wrong but why do I feel so off? But I very well knew being with them in the same face with my face uncovered is trouble. Fortunately, when I browsed online, nothing about us showed up except for the news that Killian wasn't in his pack house and didn't official state where he was going. Some speculated that he was kidnapped and so on.Just as I was thinking, I smelled Lauren's scent getting closer until I heard her footsteps approaching. "Alpha Marcus, I'm ready to go." Lauren informed in her cheerful high-pitched voice. I sighed. Taking that woman very were was tiring. I didn't wan
LAUREN POVI felt my world crumbling down. Everything I worked hard for gone in just that moment Marcus told me to go home. He had been my last hope that I had to get all the brothers but even he was pushing me away. He told me to go home. Home! I had no home. He knows that I gave up everything to go be with them and I waited for years for them to call me back and when he does, he tells me I should go home? This was all Aria's fault. Damn cursed mating bond. She's nothing compared to me. It's just the mating bond that she's holding them to. I have better ass, bigger boobs which I paid a lot for. I was way prettier than her and have a better body and build. I was a model once for crying out loud. How could they discard me like this just for a slave? I need to do something, I can't just accept defeat. I have pride too.I was in the room packing up my things as I vowed to myself that I'll make them beg me to stay. And I'll finally accomplish what Marcus wanted. To be rid of Aria. F

MARCUS POVNothing could have prepared me for what I fortunately witnessed. Actually, I didn't even know I needed preparation for it but as I saw Lauren urging Aria to follow her into the garden, I was so glad I followed because I wasn't sure what I would have done otherwise. Fortunately, I was there to stop Lauren on time as she smashed a rock on Aria. I felt my heart tearing apart as I saw Aria fall to the ground. Seeing getting hit hurt me so much, it made me ache and I didn't want such harm to come her way. After taking care of Lauren, I bent down over to were her unconscious body laid. I shook her and called out her name but she didn't respond. I should have acted sooner and faster, she shouldn't have been hit at all. She didn't answer my call, her eyes were shut and she was unmovable. I've never seen her like that expect when I sneak into her room and watch her sleep. Shit. I've never seen blood coming out of her head before. I didn't know that sight could hurt more than a
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
