What do you think of Natalia in this chapter?
Aaron's POVIt's been four days since the incident with Kenneth happened at the pack, and the weight still lingered heavily in the air, especially today, which was set aside as the day to bury and honour the ones we lost.Natalia had been so quiet, and it seemed as if she was afraid of attending the funeral. I knew that she was feeling guilty again, especially because of Cressida. She had been with Cressida's little sister, taking care of her, showering her with love and affection. It wasn't unusual for Natalia to take care of children, but she seemed to be bonding with this one. I wondered if it had something to do with her guilt.My Luna was strong, and I knew that it would take a little while more, but I knew that she would eventually find herself. She would eventually be happy, and I would do everything in my power to make sure of that.Hours later, after the funeral was done, we came back to the pack house. Natalia, Luca, Cassandra and I gathered at the dining table, and food was
Aaron's POVThe three men were writhing in and crying in pain, after getting their cocks chopped off. There was blood splattered everywhere, and the smell of sweat and other bodily fluid hung thick in the air. They were pleading for me to just kill them. Kenneth had ended up wounding his face even more. The sides of lips were slightly torn. But I wasn't done with them, especially with him.One of my men was busy by the fire side, cooking and baking. But what he was cooking could be considered an abomination.Kenneth watched in horror as they sliced his manhood into pieces, before cooking and baking it into a pie. He was cursing me, but I couldn't bring myself to care.In the end, the baked pie was put in a plate and brought to Kenneth."You have been starving. Eat.""You fucking bastard!" He yelled, before bursting into sobs again, his shoulders shaking terribly.The corner of my lips curled up slightly. "What do they say about revenge again? It is a dish served cold, isn't it?" I shoo
Natalia's POVMy legs were shaking, my voice was cracked and tears was falling from my eyes. I didn't know when we got here, but I was standing in front of one of the corners of the wall, and Aaron was behind me, fucking my senses away.I could not count the number of times I had come today, and my body was already weak. I blamed myself for putting him up to the challenge, and now he was not letting me go. What more? Each time, I would tell myself that this would be the last, but anytime he touches me, and I feel the tingles from his touch, my traitorous body would give in.This was absolute madness. It was as if I had provoked the wolf in him. We had done it at his table, on his chair, on the floor, while standing, and now, resting on wall. How come I had not passed out? Maybe it was because he devilishly gave me little breaks in between to catch my breath, just so he could continue.He found his release inside of me again, and I followed shortly after. He then rested his head on my
Natalia's POVAfter Elder Reuben left, we still discussed more on bringing Kenneth to the pack members, and none of us had any objections. Then we started discussing about minor pack business. After that, both men started teasing me with little Cass. Apparently, the little one was so clingy, and she would follow me everywhere I go. I found her too adorable and I could not say no to her. If Aaron and I later had children, he better be the strict parent, because little ones made me so weak."I am even surprised she is not here right now." Aaron teased."I guessed the poor little girl must have been learning to live without you. You literally left her for hours to..." He formed a hole with his right index and thumb, and he inserted the left index in it, demonstrating the sexual act. "With the Alpha.""Luca!" I yelled, and the both of them laughed. "Aaron, you are supposed to be on my side."I got up from his laps and he pulled me back down and he wrapped his hand around my waist."I am s
Luca's POVIt was evening already, and Alpha Aaron had ordered me to bring Kenneth out of the dungeon.Actually, Kenneth had been moved from the usual dungeon to a room completely painted white, with no windows, no furniture and a small white door. He was given food once a day with a white place from a small opening there, and what more, the food was usually white or almost white.Alpha Aaron explained that the room was more of a physiological torture than a physical one. The longer a person stays there, the more it messed with the mind. I read on it myself, and I found out that it could be quite terrifying.He would struggle in his solitude, his eyes will get strained and tired from the bright white light, and without sunlight he would not be able to differentiate between day and night, making him lose sense of time. It disorients the mind, it will break him until he loses sense of who he is. Reality would slip away from him, and he would start to hallucinate.Well, the Alpha would go
Two months laterNatalia's POVAaron was behind me, with his hands over my eyes blindfolding me. He were walking into a secluded part of the forest where he ordered some of his warriors not to let anyone in.I had no idea what he was up to, but I could not wait to find out."We are not there yet?" I asked impatiently, and Aaron's laugh reached my ears."Patience, Angel. That's a quality a Luna should have."I groaned, before giving up and let him guide me, my hands spread out, trying to sense my direction."We are here." He said and took his hands off me.Finally!I blinked severally, squinting my eyes. I looked everywhere around us, until my eyes stopped on the ground in front of me.A duvet was spread on the green flowery floor, fruit baskets and flowers neatly arranged on it, and in the middle was a small cake with candles.I gasped. What was this about?I turned to him in question, and he smiled at me."Come."He took my hands and we went to the blanket after taking off our slippe
~Two years laterNatalia's POVI woke up and turned to hold my mate, but I only ended up hugging an empty space. I only guessed that he got up early for some pack business.Everything had been going smoothly for us and the pack, and I was more than thankful for how far we had come and all we had achieved. It took time, but we eventually picked up the pieces of our lives and pushed on. Aaron and I suffered doubts from our pack members for a while. It was during our reign that all the bad things happened. Some even exited the pack. But here we were, two years later, gaining back their trust. Aaron had worked so hard that our pack was the safest to be in right now, and he wanted to keep it that way, even though it made him brutal in his dealings. But I didn't mind that, as long as he was brutal to just our enemies.Being mated to Aaron was the best thing that ever happened to me. He promised to love and put me first, and he had never faltered in that regard. He did everything he could to
Luca's POV I was in my office, trying to sort out all the documents of the treaties we had we with some other packs, and the ones that needed renewal, when I heard the Luna's voice in my head. 'You have a visitor, Luca. Guess who.' She sounded so excited. Anyway she had been so happy since she found out that she was pregnant. Everyone was happy about it too, and the Alpha had been treating her as if she would break if she took a wrong step. 'Who?' 'Come see for yourself.' I rolled my eyes. Who would come to visit me in the pack house? I stood up, carefully keeping the documents aside. I then went out to see who it was. I got to the living room in ground floor to see my younger sister and a man I don't know. A frown appeared on my face immediately, seeing how close they were to each other. "Luca!" She screamed my name when she saw me, before getting up and jumping on me, and I wrapped my hands around her, laughing. "You didn't tell me you were coming, Lucille. Where is mom and

Twenty one years after the birth of AsherAaron's POVToday was the day I would officially be stepping down as the Alpha of the Shadow flame pack, and my son would be taking over. I had been looking forward to this day for some time now. There would no longer be responsibilities. I would have all the time in the world to spend with my mate. We already mapped out all the places we were going to visit together. But now that the day was here, I could not help but feel emotional.I would be leaving a big part of me behind, but I took consolation, knowing the fact that the pack would be in capable hands. I trusted my son, his beta and his gamma with everything in me.Looking back from where I began, I would never had predicted the life that I had now.I was the last child of my parents, I was never meant to be Alpha, it should had been my eldest brother, but he died. I took this position because I wanted revenge, nothing more. I never thought I would made a good Alpha. I didn't have the in
~ Eight years after the matingAndrea's POVI moaned loudly, my back arching, as Luca feasted on my core under the sheets. He woke up this morning, and that was the first thing he decided to do. I was not complaining though.My bliss was soon cut short when I heard a loud bang on the door. I knew that it was one of my children, or maybe the both of them. I tried to leave the bed, but Luca held me firmly."Luca!""They can wait for a few minutes. My priority now is to make you cum."His voice sent vibrations spreading from my core to the whole of my body, and I shuddered and gripped his hair. He was licking my clit, and I was trying to control the sounds coming out of my mouth.The knocks didn't stop, instead they became louder."Mom, dad! Open up. Levi is trying to run away again."That's our seven year old daughter, Alicia. And Levi was the name of our four year old son. While Alicia was calm and level headed, Levi was the exact opposite. His father used to joke about him being a lit
Fifteen years after the birth of HenryCourtney's POVI was sitting on my mate's lap in his office, distracting him from work. Even after all the years had passed, what I felt for Landon didn't diminish one bit. Instead I found myself loving him more each day. Even more now that I had seen him be a father. He was awesome.I was about to kiss him, when the door burst open and Henry rushed in. He was panting hard. He closed the door and stood behind it."What is it? Who is chasing you?" I asked, amused. I already knew the reason, but I wanted to hear him say it."Alpha Aaron and Luna Natalia just arrived, and they came with their children.""So?" It was Landon this time, and there was a knowing smirk on his lips."It is Nadia. Once she sees me, she will be clinging on to me."Everyone knew that Nadia liked him. He had been her crush, even from when she was still very small. Henry on the other hand, used to see her as a baby, and he was protective of her. But now, she was eleven years ol
~A few months laterNatalia's POVMy pregnancy journey was easy. There were difficult times, but compared to all the things I had heard and seen about pregnant women, I liked to believe that I had it good. I even rarely had all the morning sickness and nausea that was normal, and I thought I was lucky.Now I was in the hospital bed, trying to deliver my baby, and it seemed like nature wanted to make me pay for all the easy pregnancy I had. I was in so much pain, I could barely breathe. I didn't have the strength to push any longer. I thought I was going to die.Aaron was with me, holding my hands tight. He was whispering words to me, but I could not even make out what he was saying. All I could focus on was the seering pain I was feeling."Luna, please. It's almost out. Just a little more push." The midwife persuaded me, but I had given up."Talia, look at me." Aaron called and I turned to him. He looked hazy in my eyes, as my vision was blurred with tears. "Talia you can do it. You a
Luca's POV Andrea and I planned this. She wanted me to mark her in their presence, and me not wanting to miss an opportunity to cause drama, and also to show them that Andrea is mine, agreed. I anticipated the move from the Alpha the moment he attacked me. I quickly pushed Andrea behind me, so that she would not be hurt. At the same time, warriors came out from their hiding place, ready to defend me. All they needed was my command. But I wanted to fight him myself. 'Luca, he is an Alpha.' She whispered to me, worry marring her voice. Alphas had the strongest wolves, so it would be very difficult to beat one. But this bastard was forcing my mate to mate with him. I wondered what would had happened if he had succeeded. Would he had forced her on his bed? The very thought seemed to rile me up. Alpha Dominic was the first to send a blow to my face, and I didn't waste anytime sending a jab under his jaw. The hit from both of us already had us bloodied, and I could feel Andrea's worry.
Andrea's POVLuca and I woke up very late that morning. Apart from the fact that we were both very exhausted from our run, we still managed to have sex, and we were completely knocked off.I got out of bed, but my mate was not moving a muscle. He just kept staring at me as I walked around the room, doing nothing exactly meaningful."Are you going to remain in bed for the rest of the day, Beta?" I teased, and he smiled, but he didn't take his eyes off me. I was beginning to feel self conscious now, as I was naked. "Luca, stop looking at me.""What do you expect? I am 'Looker'."I shook my head at him, rolling my eyes."Besides, if you notice, I have nothing to do. Alpha Aaron made sure of that."I smiled at the sweet gesture from the Alpha. He wanted Luca to have time to court me and win me over. Well, he already did. Perhaps he knew what happened with us last night. It warmed my heart, knowing that he wanted me here. Even though I knew that Luca wanted and loved me, we would never be
Luca's POVIt was the night of the full moon, and we were all waiting for the moon to reach its peak before we start shifting.I took Andrea to the middle of the forest, far from residential areas to give us privacy. She had been anticipating this day, and she had been nervous as hell. In fact, she was afraid. She then told me that even though the full moon was the only time she could summon her wolf and shift, she didn't look forward to it. It always felt like the first time for her, or even worse."I wonder how it would feel if we had the power to teleport. I would just disappear to somewhere the moon is not out."I chuckled, before taking her hands and clasping them with mine. "Relax, baby. I am here for you tonight. You and I."She pouted her lips, making her look so cute. "You and I." She repeated, and I closed the distance between us, kissing her lovely lips."Tell me when you are about to start shifting, okay?"She nodded. "What about you? Won't you shift?""I can hold it for a
Andrea's POVMy heart was thudding loudly as I stared at myself in the mirror. I was putting on a knee length green pleated dress, with semi slim hands that fell to the sides of my shoulders.My hair was held up in a high ponytail with two twisted locks framing my face."What do you think? Do you think it's too simple?" I asked Luca for the thousandth time today, and I saw him roll his eyes from the mirror. He was standing behind me."I have told you a million times, Andrea, you look good, you are beautiful, gorgeous." Luca answered exasperated, and a smile crept to my lips. "Now get the fuck out of the mirror and let's go."I rolled my eyes at him. "I am not wearing earrings. Wait let me get them on."I heard him sigh, and I chuckled. I then pitied him and hurried up."I am done.""Good." He took my hand and began to drag me away. I knew that he didn't want to take any chances with me going back to the mirror again.To say that I was nervous was an understatement of what I was feelin
