ELARIAN

The sound of a baby crying was the first thing that filled my ears as I jumped up from where I lay. The air was thick with a scent that made my nose twitch, and when my eyes finally adjusted to the pitch-black darkness around me, I noticed the baby at the foot of the bed I was lying on.

I touched my stomach, and the baby bump that had been there was suddenly gone. My brows furrowed; I had no idea I had given birth, nor did I recall the ordeal of childbirth.

How was the baby here then?

The baby suddenly stopped crying, and when I tried to move closer, I noticed my legs wouldn’t budge from where they were placed on the bed. I tried to lift them over and over again, but it was as if they were glued to it.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a shadow slipped in. I looked on in horror as the shadow slowly morphed into what I assumed was a young woman, and she approached the baby slowly.

I willed myself to speak, but my lips wouldn’t move either. This had to be a nightmare because I bar

    AEROS My throat ached with each word that made it past my lips. I didn’t want to believe that he would do something like that, yet at the same time, if he really did it to her, then I couldn’t just let him walk free.He almost killed my child and Elarian.“I don’t know why he did that,” I continued and paused to catch my breath because it was getting even more difficult for me to speak. The words were just too heavy for me to say to her, but I had no choice.“The maid insisted he was the one till the last minute, and no matter how unbelievable it sounds, it looks like it just might be true. Maybe Xavier was right, Elarian. Maybe you were safer with him and not with me. Blair died with me, and if anything were to happen to you, then I would…I would…” The words trailed off as a sharp pain shot through me, leaving me gasping for air.“Aeros.” Blair’s voice called out behind me, and I turned around sharply to find her standing by the door. I had no idea when she had walked in.I still fo

    AEROS “I…I am sorry, I didn’t mean to…I uhm…” I stammered, unsure of what to say or how to react to the sudden image of Blair crying profusely in front of me.“Everything, every single thing I did was for you, Aeros. But if you choose to be blind to all that because of a woman you barely even know, then…then maybe, just maybe Jonathan was worth it. Maybe he was worth being the man that made me cheat on you. Maybe he was worth the—”“Blair!”“What?! Am I disturbing her? Is that what you’re going to say to me next? What if she doesn’t come back, Aeros? Have you ever thought of that? What if she doesn’t wake up and you’re trapped out here with nowhere else to turn? She is going to leave you eventually, and then you will realize that it has always just been me,” she said, her eyes holding mine.“Blair, you and I, we’re done. Elarian means a whole lot to—”“No, Aeros,” she replied sharply, cutting me off. “You don’t get to decide who matters and who doesn’t. I am the woman you will foreve

    AUTHOR'S POVKaiden swam for what felt like hours on end before he washed up on the banks of a river in an unfamiliar territory. He assumed it was because he had been locked away for so long that he couldn’t recognize anything or anywhere. However, he also knew that Jonathan and Aeros would start sending out search parties if they didn’t find his body, so he needed to find a safe place to hide for a while.Blair. He had seen Blair, and her name kept echoing in his head as he walked away, but he paid no attention to it. He got as far away as he could, and it wasn’t until he saw someone that he finally collapsed from the cold, darkness engulfing him.Meanwhile, Blair was unsure of what to do. Aeros had managed to catch the maid she had used, and even though she was scary enough to keep the maid’s mouth sealed, she knew it was only a matter of time before Aeros found a way to make her confess.She couldn’t risk that, nor could she risk him waking Elarian up.“The new healer just arrived,

    ELARIAN “Give me back my baby!” I yelled at the top of my lungs as I crumbled to the floor, tears streaming down my cheeks and leaving me almost out of breath. Blood stains covered my dress, my hair was a tangled mess, my knees were bleeding from all the kneeling, and my feet were sore all over.This was torture. I had been like this for hours, and the pain shot through my body like I had been pricked by a million knives.I had no idea where I was or what was happening, but I was certain it wasn’t reality because one minute, I had a baby, and the next, I was walking around pregnant and bleeding. I was forced to endure a miscarriage, then labor, and finally, the ordeal of watching my child get ripped apart by a blind wolf.Something didn’t feel right. Aeros’ scent hung thicker than ever around me, but he was nowhere near close to me. I tried to wake myself up, hoping that it was all just a nightmare, but no matter how hard I tried, nothing worked.“Please…” I sobbed, “just give me bac

    ELARIAN“Thank the goddess, Elarian. You have no idea how worried I was. You have no idea how scared I was. I thought I had lost you, and when the healer said you were…” His words trailed off as if there was something on the tip of his tongue he couldn’t bring himself to say.“Alpha Aeros, we agreed to let her get enough rest. And please, get something for her to eat. It must have been one hell of an ordeal,” the woman I hadn’t noticed was in the room said. I turned to see a much younger woman standing beside the healer, hovering over me.“Of course,” Aeros mumbled grudgingly as he reluctantly pulled himself away from me and headed outside. For some reason, I was extremely weak, too weak to even speak or move, and the young woman beside me noticed that. She leaned forward and urged me to relax into the bed.“You must be really weak. Please just stay back and wait for him. Within a few hours, you should feel much better,” she said calmly. I stared at her for a few seconds before glanci

    ELARIAN “A lot has happened in your absence, Luna Elarian.” The healer’s words echoed in the back of my mind, and the sadness in her eyes as she said them lingered in my thoughts.“You have to stay in bed. Both you and the baby need as much rest as possible. Plus, Alpha Aeros clearly instructed that we keep you here until he returns,” Elyse’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts and made me aware of my surroundings.“But you just said Jonathan has been… I need to go to him,” I said as I tried to push myself up from the bed. A sharp pain shot through my head, making me scream out loud and collapse back.“Your body is still too weak. It will take time to regain your strength,” Elyse pointed out, stepping forward. “I know you want to be with your husband right now, but for the sake of your baby, Luna Elarian, you need to stay right here,” she added firmly.I sighed heavily and eased back into the bed in defeat. Elyse and the healer excused themselves to check on Aeros after a maid rushed

    ELARIAN Blair.That was definitely Blair, though her hair was no longer golden as it had been when I met her in the human world. The wolf who had taken me from the hospital that day had told me she had sold me out to the humans, and I knew it was because of the mark she had seen on my neck.But Blair had been human when I met her in the human world, so why was she here? And how had her hair become a deep shade of black?“Blair? How are you here?” I asked, and Aeros stepped forward.“I told you she suddenly turned up after we lost a prisoner with Jonathan. I have no idea how it happened either, but it just happened,” he explained as my eyes darted from him to Blair.I wasn’t sure he had any clue what he was talking about.“Is this your Blair?” I asked, raising a brow, my face stunned. I could have sworn she was the woman I had met when I first arrived in the human world, so how could she be his Blair?“I thought she was dead too, but when she showed up… the whole thing just became a t

    ELARIAN I had no idea when I drifted off to sleep, but I knew I had been too weak to do anything else. All I could do was ease into my bed and close my eyes after Elyse left the room. She had returned to drop off my dinner with a maid, and that was the last thing I remembered.When I opened my eyes again, I felt something or someone beside me on the bed. When I tried to move, Aeros' familiar scent overwhelmed my senses. He was lying next to me, his arms wrapped around my waist.When did he even get back? I wondered as I soaked in his relaxing scent and the comforting feel of him beside me. I stayed like that until morning, drifting in and out of sleep. Despite his presence, I found myself waking up countless times, restless for reasons I couldn’t quite place.As the first rays of sunlight began to creep across the horizon, Aeros stirred beside me. The first thing he did was plant a kiss on my cheek.“You’re up early,” he remarked, and I smiled at him softly.Something was bothering m

    ELARIAN I'll never forget the sound of Aero's voice, low and menacing, as he growled, "Let. Her. Go." I was tied to a chair, helpless, as Xavier held me hostage right in front of him with his claws aimed directly at my throat. His heartbeat reeked of blood and death, causing my stomach to turn in disgust and fear. His claws trailed my bare skin, and my body trembled in fear.Aero rushed forward with such speed that I had never seen before or thought possible, his eyes blazing with fury. Xavier sneered, baring his razor-sharp canine teeth. Aero's gaze locked onto mine, and for a fleeting moment, I saw a glimmer of reassurance.He was here to save me."Save Liam!" I tried to yell out for him to hear, but my words were muffled, and I was certain he could not understand them. So I just sat there, fighting as hard as I could against the ropes I was tied down with, even though it was useless, as the tears poured down my face.I didn't want to lose my husband and son like this. I just wante

    AEROS Jonathan advised that we did not go in immediately, and I actually agreed with him because I had told Elyse to call me the moment she noticed anyone or anything move in that region. So I had a feeling that Tyler would reach out to Xavier, and Xavier would in turn reach out to whoever was holding Liam and Elarian. There would definitely be a movement that would catch Elyse's attention—all we had to do was wait for it.We didn't exactly leave, but we stayed close enough and at the same time far enough to not be under their gaze. After waiting for a couple of hours and hearing nothing from Elyse, we decided to make a stop at Xavier's mansion. His territory was a bit farther away from Tyler's, but the drive would probably give us enough time to contemplate what had happened at Tyler's place. So we headed out as soon as we had agreed on what to do next.Jonathan kept insisting that he would like to speak with Xavier instead of me, but I told him it was best I handled Xavier because

    AEROS "You should have told me that a long time ago then I wouldn't have been against this so much. But what if Tyler and Xavier had nothing to do with this in the first place? What if this was all some wild goose chase and they had nothing to do with the disappearance of your wife and son, and at the end of the day, this only led to war? What's going to happen then?" Jonathan asked with that same skepticism in his tone."At least I would know who is behind all this, and we could finally put an end to whatever madness is going on here.""I trust you, and if this is what you want to do, then you have my full support. But just understand that if you're going to go in there, then you're going to talk to them as respectfully as you possibly can because war is not an option right now. I know you're not going to listen to me, and at the end of the day, you do what you want to do. But please, for the sake of your son and Elarian, just think about what a war could cause and focus on finding

    AEROS "They couldn't have gone far," I began. "After the explosion happened, it didn't take long at all for Jonathan and I to get back into the mansion, and they were already missing by that time. So I feel they have definitely not taken them far away from the pack house because the time frame it was carried out in is just too little to pull off something long distance from here. So I believe we should send out a search party and lead one to vigorously search the entire area," I added, and the elders of the council all mumbled their agreement."The Alpha is right. There is no way they could have moved the Luna and Liam so far away from the pack house within such a short period of time, so we need to keep our guard up and keep an eye on every single movement in the area. I am certain that we would find them if we just know where to look," Jonathan joined in the conversation."You're both forgetting one serious detail, and that is, Blair was also kidnapped," Elyse spoke up next."I dou

    ELARIAN “What the hell is going on? Where is my son? Liam! Aeros! Jonathan! Elyse!”I called out every single name that I knew one by one, and there was not a single response. I was shrouded in darkness and could barely see a thing, nor could I hear any sound at all. I knew something had been wrapped around my eyes because I could feel its pressure against my vision, and my sense of smell picked up that there were people around, but for some reason, I could not hear a single sound.My heartbeat increased, and I was so scared because I had been just about to head up to take care of Liam when the explosion happened, and that was the last thing I remembered. I didn’t recall anything afterwards, and I was beginning to panic because Liam had been in the bedroom when it happened. Although I wasn’t exactly sure where the explosion had come from, I was just worried that something had happened to my baby.“Somebody please help! Is anyone out there?!” I cried out, but there was still no respon

    AEROS The sound of Kaiden screaming out loud in pain and the smell of his blood filled the air as Jonathan's claws kept going deeper and deeper inside of him to a point where he could no longer take it. He was so close to passing out before Jonathan pulled away and took a step back.“Now, I think we should try this again,” I said, struggling so hard to keep my wolf at bay as I approached Kaiden. The urge to rip his face to shreds was so overpowering, and the thought that he had even dared to harm my son and Elarian was so infuriating that seeing him alive irked me. But then, I had to admit that I needed him alive if I wanted to find the both of them.“I am going to ask you one last time before your head is severed from your body—who is responsible for the explosion and the disappearance of Liam and Elarian? Tell me every single thing you know and do not hold back a single detail,” I added as I grabbed his chin and forced him to look at me.He winced in pain as he struggled to catch h

    AEROS “Who do you think is responsible for this? I'm not asking you who you suspect. I am asking you to think about who could be behind this because I am certain whoever is doing this is already expecting us to jump to conclusions about who it could possibly be. But I feel we should look beyond that and understand what is actually going on here so we'll be able to save the Luna and your son as soon as we can,” Elyse pointed out.With everything that was going on, she seemed to be quite wise and smart, and even though I badly wanted to think like her, I could not possibly think straight knowing that my son and Elarian could be in trouble.“I think I know who we should talk to about this,” I stated confidently as I shot sharply to my feet.“You really think we should be talking to him without having any clue what is really going on and coming up with a plan? That is exactly what they want us to do. Go running to him to find the solution so he would be able to put whatever nonsense is i

    AEROS The loud bang that came from upstairs the moment Kaiden said those words made my heart skip a beat. Jonathan immediately broke into a run, and I rushed after him, tossing Kaiden aside. I was certain he had slammed his back against the wall or something because I heard something crack.We rushed outside and made it back into the mansion, but it was already a disaster in there. The maids and guards were rushing around, trying to put out a fire or something, and I didn’t exactly know what it was, but I knew there was smoke everywhere. Everyone was coughing so badly that I couldn’t actually listen to anything, so I had to block out the noise and listen to my wolf’s instincts.The fire was coming from the dining area that we had just vacated, and the moment I realized that, the first thing I thought about was Elarian. She was still at the table when we left, so I was so scared that I ran into the fire, regardless of how the flames were burning high enough to the ceiling and looking

    AEROS I had no idea what Kaiden wanted, but I knew one thing for sure and I was certain he was going to ask me for something I would definitely not be able to willingly give him. So, I decided to speak with him in his cell after the ritual with Blair was successful and she was able to return to her normal activities.Blair insisted he would like to speak to me himself, so after we had finished eating at the table, I headed down to the dungeons with Jonathan by my side to speak with him. Although it was obvious that Elarian was confused about what was going on, she clearly wanted to ask me about it but refrained from doing so because she had to attend to Liam, and I promised her that I would join her in the bedroom as soon as possible.“What do you think he is going to ask for?” Jonathan asked me as we stepped into the dungeons, and I shrugged.“I don't know, I can't say for sure. But for him to willingly return here to help Blair and give up his freedom to stay in this dungeon withou
