KILLIAN POVI turned back to see who shot the gun, it was the man who seemed to have a grudge against Darius. He was with my gun and I traced the direction his hand was pointing at to see a hole on Aria. "No!" I shouted as she stumbled back a few stairs, Darius and I tried to catch her back before we could, but she was already stumbling down the stairs. I suddenly heard a ringing in my head, every other sound went dim and everything seemed surreal. Darius and I rushed down quickly with our quick reflexes and we stopped her from rolling down any further. "Watch her," Darius instructed me through gritted teeth then he snapped the gun out of the man's hands before he could realize it and used it to put a hole in his chest. He went down and back to the place where the rest of her kidnappers were and I left my line of view but I heard several gunshots to know what happened to them. While he was killing everyone, I tried to keep Aria conscious. I slapped her cheeks continuously as I
DARIUS POV"Hold on a minute Killian, back up. Who is this person and why are you apologizing for not telling me about her?" Marcus asked, Killian was explaining like a broken record and it pissed me off. We didn't have time for any of that, we needed to attend to Aria's wound fast, and at the rate Killian was going, he didn't seem to be doing a great job. "She's our fucking mate!" I shouted on the phone, "Now no more questions because she's about to die. Help me give her first aid!" I walked past Killian and stood beside Aria. She was lying down unconsciously, her blood was soaking the entire white bedsheet. "Come on!" I urged him when he didn't start talking immediately. "She has lost a lot of blood and is losing more right now!" "Uh… alright, uh first we need to stop her from bleeding, and to do that, I need to know what happened to her, what type of injury she sustained?" Marcus asked, finally getting his head in the game. I was relieved that he was finally giving me directions
ARIA POVMy eyes slowly opened, my eye lids were heavy but I didn't want to remain asleep anymore. My vision was blurry at first but after blinking a few times, a saw three beings towering over me and once my vision cleared, I saw Killian, not in two places anymore but three. The three people had their arms crossed around their chests and looked in different directions, but I could see their faces clearly and they were so identical I couldn't tell who was who. Two had a worried look on their faces and we're anxious.Just then my head started aching and I cried out in pain, I touched my head as if it would ease the pain, it didn't. Because of my cry, it got their attention and they turned their attention to me. "Are you okay, Aria?" They all asked. I wondered if I was seeing things. I looked from one to the other in shock. "What…what…what is going on?" I stuttered, my voice cracked at the end and I let out a little cough, I stared at them in shock. "What's going on?" One of them
ARIA POVAt first, my brain didn't process what he said to me but after staring at his eyes, I saw the detest in them and I didn't need to understand any words to feel it. "Marcus, what are you saying?" Killian reprimanded him immediately, he was shocked by what Marcus uttered but I wasn't, it seemed I already knew although my wolf was very disappointed. He turned to Killian, "Didn't you hear me?" He frowned as he spoke, and he then turned to me again, "You were so weak and totally helpless no, to be precise, you were worthless." He said with a cold gaze and hostile look, he turned to Killian again, "What are we even doing with her? Let's return her to that pig and stop all these troubles, she's not worth it." "Shut up!" Killian shouted at Marcus, his nostrils were glared up, he clenched both his hands beside him and he was ready to throw them. "But I'm only telling the truth. You don't need her as a fuck toy, we already have one, if you don't like her we can get a new one, one th
ARIA POV"Love?" He repeated. "You have been with her for less than a month but you say love?" He scoffed and then rolled his eyes. "Don't make me laugh." He laughed regardless then walked over Darius. They were both the same height, and they stared directly into their eyes, to be more accurate, they glared at each other with gritted teeth and clenched fists, their muscles were popping out and Darius' arms were filled with veins which I noticed only appear when he's furious. "Oh, I get it now." A mischievous smirk appeared on his face, "I know what you love." Marcus teased. "What I?" Darius repeated, confused. It only made Marcus' smile grow wider, "So what part of her do you love the most? Her boobs? Her ass or her pussy?" Marcus asked teasingly. "You asshole!" Killian shouted and charged towards him but Darius was quicker and already punched him on his jaw. He stumbled backwards a little but the punch was nothing to him. "That's not love you fools!" Marcus shouted, "The mating
ARIA POV"The...guard." I began slowly, and he patiently listened until I was done, "H…he… die.. died… what… hap... happened to… his… body?" I still haven't gotten over the guilt I felt for being the reason he died. It was still eating me up inside. "He's been buried," Darius answered, his voice was low now. He grabbed one of my palms then kissed it, "Don't blame yourself for his death. It's not your fault! I didn't plan the attack and he tried to protect you to the end so don't blame yourself, blame the animal that sent those men after you." As he spoke, tears welled up in my eyes and soon they went rolling down, it was when I sobbed that I realized I had been weeping for a while now. "Oh, Ari!" Darius leaned closer to me and hugged me. "Stop crying." He said while he took me softly, "Hush now, why are you crying like a baby?" I burst into tears, I was full-out sobbing now and he continued shushing me. "Shhhh!" He continued shaking me, he used his thumbs and wiped my tears away.
MARCUS POV"That's not a bad idea actually but the thing is, will she be able to take it? I mean she's too weak to fight back against a regular bullet." I laughed in his face then continued my walk out of the hospital. I got inside the car I drove there and drove off.I seriously can't believe those two called me over here, made me stop what I was doing for that slut. She's nothing but a troublemaker and I hate troublesome women. It was the first time we met and she gave me trouble, it was already a bad sign and I was not going to take my chances. Aria recovered rather faster than expected and soon she was in the castle walls. Everyone went down to welcome her according to Killian's orders while I stayed at the security workout room and did some exercises. I couldn't stand to be in such a scene again. I won't lie, the woman is sexy and I can see why they'll go crazy over her curves and her innocent and angelic face but that doesn't make her anymore than the prostitutes and whores o
ARIA POVBefore I realized it, I was crying again. Darius and Killian started consoling me but I couldn't stop feeling bad. I thought no one would want to see me again after what happened. I thought everyone would blame me for what happened but looking at their faces, they seem to be genuine. Staying at the hospital didn't help me at all, it made my mental health deteriorate especially when I heard a doctor giving the sad news of a loved one passing away. A silver bullet survival rate is 25 percent and that's if you didn't die immediately you were shot. Even a shot on your leg can kill you. Silver's poison is too dangerous for us werewolves, that's why it's banned from every pack, those who buy them are buying illegal goods. Only Alphas and heads of securities in a castle were allowed to own them and they are seldomly used. The silver bullet is what took my bodyguard's life, he, unfortunately, died instantaneously and lost all his chance of survival. Fortunately for me, I was able
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
