Highly disturbed at the condition of my family, my mate not being here, the eye of my one son hurt terribly and a traumatized boy. My eyes were hollow, anguish was burning in my chest. The wrath was flaring rapidly as I was waiting for my son to recover before taking another step, much harsher than before.‘That asshole will pay, how dare he,’ I thought furiously, a tear glistening in the corner.We were in another mansion because ours was burned from many places and the recovery cost me a lot.Matthew was sleeping, Anthony was in my lap, hugging me close.“Papa, don’t leave me,” He whispered, tiny hands holding me hopelessly.“I am not going anywhere, my boy, I am here,” I whispered, kissing the top of his head.He was burning from fever, the fear took a toll on him, not leaving my shirt as I was holding him against my chest with him sitting on my laps.Obviously it won’t cover for the motherly warmth he required but I did my best.Keeping him firmly against me, humming while I was
I was staying with my sons for the night, being with them to help them relax so that I was here and they could sleep.It might take a few months for our mansion to be rebuilt so we had to live in this place. I resented the thought of allowing any traumatic experience to ruin their lives. For fuck’s sake, they were only five as I hoped they forget whatever happened in their upcoming years.‘Please keep my home safe from an evil eye,’ I prayed hopelessly, spending the night with them.The next morning, I did some formalities with the cops.Paid for the loss, handled a few meetings, not leaving my boys side for a heartbeat, Anthony was following my shadow as Matthew was on the bed.I was downstairs with Anthony who asked innocently.“What are you going to do now, Papa?”“You don’t have to worry about it, son, I will get Mama back,” I whispered.Placing my hand over his head as he hummed, hugging me.As we were in the hall, I was immersed in my unwanted thoughts, gathering my perception
ELIANA’S POV:-With my body throbbing in pain, I could feel my wounded wrists were chains as I was lying on a mattress in a dark, dusty room. All I remembered before passing out was that Kyle was banging on my sons’ door and as I endeavored to stop him.He hit me so hard that I lost consciousness and had no idea what he did to my sons.“Argh…” Groaning in pain, my eyes blinked, adjusting to the darkness as I prayed desperately for their safety.‘Please be safe, please,’ My heart skipped a beat in dread while cursing that asshole Kyle in my heart for lying to us and using a cheap trick to capture me. I had no idea what he did after knocking me out, if my sons were safe, if my house was safe, if Maddie was safe or not.And here I was, kidnapped and disturbed. And surprisingly, I was not worried for myself but my children, for my home, for Denzel.I was done being frightened of Kyle.He couldn’t be worse than he already was, he had ruined my life already. “Shit,” I cursed when my
‘Are my sons okay?’My Denzel was trapped in an emotional turmoil, I could feel it under my fingernails that he was emotionally distressed and depressed.‘Oh my boys, please be fine,”My throat dried in anticipation.His level of constriction was worrying me to perceive if he was okay or not, if my sons or home were fine or not.“Everything will be okay, I am sure of it,” I whispered to myself.Maybe the ambush took a toll on his mental health. I didn’t want to think of horrible outcomes honestly.I just wanted to escape this dark room, waiting for my Denzel to save me.As I was lost in my thoughts, looking out of the window, hugging my knees close to my chest, the creaking sound of the door being opened came.“Still waiting for your mate?” Smirking dryly at his mocking tone, I didn’t bother to glance and taunted him as well.“Still waiting for your demise?”He scoffed, coming closer and sitting on the edge of the mattress. A disruption rose in me but I held it back and affixed my e
DENZEL’S POV:-I had lost her against the card of fates, in an almost irrecoverable way but there was no way I would let this happen again.She was essential to my existence and to find her, I would reach the depths of hell. “Did you think you could hurt my son, burn my home and I will let you go, huh!?”After forcefully taking over his domain and marking my name there, I kept their damn alpha in my prison for the past few days. “This is your place, below me!” “... Whatever you say… you still lost,”“SHUT UP!” To remind him of his pathetic place. He was below me, he was no match before me in the first place.It took me a night to end him and his pack for what he did to my territory. “Where is she, asshole?!”But, what I did not expect was Eliana’s disappearance. I couldn’t feel her anymore which was strange. She was alive- that I knew- Where? I had no idea.He had vanished from this domain like she never existed and disturbed about her wellbeing, I had kept Kyle imprisoned.“Whe
What. The. Hell?Tears brimmed, heartbeats diminished, bodily functions stopped.I blinked a few times to see if I heard this ridiculous statement right or not. It pierced my heart when she so innocently asked me.As if we hadn't shared a deep connection, a long bond of companionship.“Come again?” My question came out weakly. Tilting my head in the opposite direction, lips quivering with a heavily unbearable sensation.She was my dream of tomorrow, my happily ever after.Why did Armiz do this to me?“I am sorry, do I know you?” Eliana asked in a nervous chuckle, glancing at Armiz who was simply indulging in my stunned reaction, flaring my blazing heart.“What the fuck is this, Armiz?” Growling at his nonchalance, at his audacity of hitting me where it hurts, always.He was punishing me more than my crime.“Denzel, come on,” Ignoring my panting, an anguished state with that proud smirk plastered on his face that he had no regret for his deeds and it hurt me.How could he do this t
After returning with a stain of defeat, at night, I was with Lucas who was sorrowful for my state.Rubbing my temples my worry had reached its extent. I swear that Armiz was not allowing me to breathe peacefully.In fact, I say, at this point, a physical torment would be better than what he was doing to me.“How could he do this to me, Lucas?” My voice broke out of disappointment, shutting my eyes.Praying it to be a nightmare but since when tribulations in life ended?He first made Kyle marry her, then send her away by the misunderstanding now … he disrupted her memories.“Why is he throwing one after another tribulation over my head? Haven’t I suffered enough?” I groaned, failing to bear this anymore.“He won’t forgive you for what you did to him,” Lucas informed, which was obvious from his course of actions.“I have no explanation for my actions, I was cruel, I was heartless but I saved him,” Loosening my shoulder, I lowered my gaze worriedly and murmured a heavy truth.Bewildere
PASTI was eighteen, humming to myself in the kitchen while eating some cereal and as an everyday matter, the sound of yelling came from the lounge.“I can’t live with you anymore, Kane! I am just so done with this life!”“Do you think I choose to be with you!? If it wasn’t for the kids, I wouldn’t spend a second with you!”Sighing, I put the bowl down, frowning at them destroying the peace of the home and covered my ears.I was hoping to cut off their sound but it wasn’t enough, I could still hear the unwanted yelling. “Why don’t you take your kids and leave!?”“This is MY home! MY Pack! If you are so sick of us then get lost!”Hissing, I slammed my hand down, averting my gaze in frustration. My chest clenched, it was unbearable for me.‘Shit. What is my use? Isn’t there anything I could do to stop them?’ I thought furiously, pulling my hair.My father was the Alpha of the Crimson Pack and the Alpha and Luna weren’t an admirable couple.Always fighting, resenting each other and regr
FIVE YEARS LATER,DENZEL’S POV:-“The show is starting at ten. It’s nine-thirty. Anthony’s performance is the second one, we can’t miss it,” Eliana scolded as I was driving home hastily since we were already late.“I am almost home, honey, you guys be ready, we will leave immediately,”“Okay,”She forgot to cut the call, probably getting ready until I heard my prideful, prodigious son, Matthew whining on the other side.“I told him not to participate, look. Who is chilling at home and who is at the school? That is stupid anyways.”That was why we didn’t give him special treatment, he had already placed himself high above.I chuckled at his demeanor as Eliana sighed.“Are you done?”“Yes, all ready and handsome,” See. Any further attention would destroy his character unlike our sweet, innocent and darling son Anthony who is sensible and responsible.“Yes, yes, my prideful one. Now, come on, Papa will be here anytime,”The second she said it, I was already at home and entered, cutting
ELIANA’S POV:-I was in complete disbelief when I found out Armiz died protecting Denzel, he knew he couldn’t live with the anguish and gave up on his life as a heavy compensation.After his respectful burial and a moment of anguish, Denzel was in our room, hanging his head low with ceaseless gloom.His destruction was at the edge, gripping on the sheets angrily.“Denzel…” Whispering his name softly, I sat beside him, taking his hand in mine for reassurance.“Eliana,”“Hmm?” “At least I didn’t bid him with regrets and anguish… he was at peace,”Unlocking the words he buried, he glanced at me with tears gleaming in his eyes, losing his breaths, pain worsening his condition.“He didn’t meet a miserable end… I didn’t let it… he smiled… but…”He started panting, holding onto me as support agonizingly. “But, Eliana,”And he failed to carry the agony in his chest. My eyes locked on him shattered him and he broke into a miserable wail.“He was my brother! I never hated him!”Gripping my sh
DENZEL’S POV:-There was something wrong which I failed to pick. What was it? I had no idea but I knew I failed to apprehend something. “What happened, Denzel?”“I am having a bad feeling, Eliana, it feel restless, like something is extremely wrong,”“Are you still doubting Armiz?” She frowned, not liking that he wanted to help us yet I was distrusting. “No… I don’t know. Am I?” I paused, holding my sides.She took a closer look at my face, studying it for a few seconds before placing her both hands over my shoulder and rubbing it gently.“Are you worried about something? About us? Him? Kyle?”“Something doesn’t fit right. Maybe I don’t want you guys to get hurt, maybe his escape or who did it,”“Umm,” Matthew raised his hand in the air.“Yeah, that must be it but don’t worry, we have everyone with us,”“Papa, listen,” He called again when we didn’t respond.“Yeah, what is it, Matthew?”“Maybe it’s none,” He replied vaguely, baffling both of us. Smiling faintly, Eliana patted his h
ELIANA’S POV:-Everything happened so rapidly that my mind was hazy about what happened and to think I fell for Denzel again.It was so aesthetically pleasing but also romantic. God Lord, the way he flirted with me, I wondered why he didn’t do this before? He sways me along his rhythm immaculately.But, now, we were back to our lives where he didn’t have to struggle to have me. Where all of his was mine and all of me was his…“... So that’s what happened,” Ending in a sigh, Denzel told me everything about him and Armiz’s bond. It was disheartening to hear how two brothers were separated because of her. They didn’t deserve it.Stopping in my tracks, my eyes shrinked on his handsome face, studying it for a moment that perplexed him.“What?”“Are you seriously not going to talk to him and stay angry forever?” I found it extremely hard to believe from what I heard. Denzel, the one who loved his brother dearly, now refuses to melt his heart.Although I agree Armiz’s words were harsh
I ran to the courtyard only to find my beloved mate there, placing my restless soul at serene. Lying unconscious on the bench while I was flabbergasted how it happened.And moreover, who did this?Who managed to enter my domain and place her there? Couldn’t be Kyle, then who was it?“Eliana!” Picking her hastily, my whole body found solace when her body was pressed against mine, easing my soul as I took her back to our room.Lying her down carefully on the bed, I removed the strands falling on her face behind, caressing her body tenderly.My eyes affixed on her beautiful body, increasing my heartbeats, delighted to have her near me.Sighing in relief, I came down to ask my sons about how she came here but Jake appeared out of nowhere and attempted to attack me.“Jake! What are you doing!?”Before he could hit me, Armiz came in between, pushing him away from attacking me.Folding my arms at my chest, I frowned, I expected this reaction from him.“I will kill him!” Jake shouted, snarl
PRESENT,With tears transparently twinkling on our faces, we were away from others, sitting on the ground as I finally decided to unfetter the lock on my tongue.And truly if it wasn’t for Eliana, I wouldn’t have bothered with it.But, I must make him give her back. “What…?”As I expected, it took a toll on him as he was staring at me in horror while I merely stared at the ground blankly.I left him years ago, he or his matters were no longer my concern, I couldn’t care less about his remorse. All I needed was Eliana.“Yes, she set me up and her condition got worse. She was going to be punished for having an affair already so she made her death worthwhile,” I smiled dryly in the end, rising from the ground.He was too shocked to react, taking a few moments to sink in the depth of my words and when he did, he grabbed my collar angrily.“Then why… why didn’t you tell me before, asshole!?” “Asshole, it shattered my heart when of all people YOU called me a monster. It hurt so damn much
“Armiz!!” “What the…” “Armiz… look what he did,” “What..?” My eyes widened. My brother wouldn’t believe that I would ever fathom hurting Albert, right?“Albert.. Our baby… why did you kill my son…?!” “Go and search for him. Now!” Armiz panicked, breathless while hugging Melissa, motioning to other members who ran and left us alone as I stared.I was too stunned to react.This wasn’t reality, right? “Don’t- Don’t be ridiculous, Melissa-” “All because you wanted me! You killed my child and laid hands on your own brother’s mate…? Where was your dignity?” She shouted, resting her head on his shoulder.And in a heartbeat, Armiz found it hard to believe but her condition… won over my tears. With a shaky, teary mess, I shook my head in denial as he converted his flabbergasted stare into a resentful glare.My brother, for the first time, looked at me with disgust and it stole words from my tongue.“He came to know Albert wasn’t actually yours and got rid of him… when you accepted him
Things were fine, I was wholeheartedly devoted to my family although I resented the image of a beast I had created but-As long as the people I love didn’t consider me one, I was fine.I loved them after all, always wanted to follow my brother’s footsteps and one day live as a joint family.But, all of that went down the drain, damaging the bond we had irrecoverably. One fine day, I was alone in the mansion of the Crimson Pack, humming to myself. “Denzel,”“Hmm?”Armiz went to play with Albert as I was walking down the corridor, I saw Melissa who stopped me. “Do you need something?” Taking out my cigarette, I asked casually. She was leaning on the opposite side, hanging her head low with dejection which perplexed me.“Melissa?” “Do you hate me, Denzel?”I chuckled nervously, “Of course not, why would you ever think this way, Melissa?” “I am sorry if my teasing makes you feel bad, I won’t do it again,” I reassured her, smiling sincerely.She was my sister-in-law, I knew she didn
“Where the fuck is she, Armiz!?”We had been arguing for the past ten minutes.Everyone from his pack gathered when I hit his chest furiously.“I told you, I don’t know! She didn’t return,” Her disappearance made me lose myself, my breaths were heavy, my mind barely functioning properly. I was explicitly delighted at our reunion.“I never took her then where did she go!?”“Who knows?”I believed her spell would be lifted off, so exhilarated to become hers and forget all our pain.And I was hundred percent sure it was another of his tricks to agonize me.No one dared to interfere, he was monotonous, not leaving his cigarette while I glared at him breathlessly.“What have you done to her?” I hissed.He furrowed his brow, “Come again?”“What did you do to my Eliana, Armiz?”“Do you truly think I would bring physical harm to the ones you love?” He hissed back.Throwing the cigarette away as he glared back. “If I wanted to kill her, I would have easily done it when she escaped to France,
