"Chapter 13 "hey! Myra? I'll be back I've got to take this." Augustine excused himself from mother and daughter, stepping away to answer an urgent business call. The conversation stretched on longer than he had anticipated, but after a while, he finally hung up and made his way back to Myra's side.As he reentered the park, a sharp gasp escaped his lips. Myra stood frozen, her eyes wide with shock, staring blankly ahead. He quickly approached her, gently shaking her to bring her back to reality. "Myra, what's wrong? What happened?"Myra's voice quivered as she muttered, her words barely audible. "He's here... he's here..."Confusion washed over Augustine's face as he tried to understand her distress. He furrowed his brow, attempting to piece together the puzzle. "Who's here, Myra? You need to tell me. What's going on?"Without answering his question, Myra began hastily gathering her belongings, a look of utmost urgency on her face. "We have to leave! Now!"Augustine's heart raced as
Chapter 14Myra had been gradually starting to relax. It had been three days since she last sensed the presence of alpha Aeron. The usual fear of him appearing out of nowhere and dragging her away had diminished, and she began to entertain the possibility that maybe he wasn't here for her after all – perhaps she was just being paranoid, as Augustine had suggested.The usual him would have found and dragged her away by now, but since he hadn't come, maybe he wasn't here for her. Following Augustine's advice, Myra had been obediently staying at home, refraining from going to work. However, the walls of her small apartment felt suffocating, so she decided it was time to venture out for some grocery shopping. She quickly changed into a comfortable outfit—a faded denim jacket, a plain white t-shirt, and well-worn jeans—and stepped out the door, hoping for a brief respite from her constant state of unease.Taking confident strides down her front porch, Myra's eyes widened in surprise. Sitt
Chapter 15Myra paced back and forth in her living room, her anger fueling her restlessness. How dare Alpha Aeron find her and have the audacity to order her around? Who did he think he was, believing he had the authority to dictate her actions? After everything they had been through, how could he expect her to willingly go with him?In her frustration, she muttered to herself, each word dripping with indignation. "How dare he order me? What gives him the right? After everything, why would he think I would just go along with him?"Unbeknownst to her, Augustine quietly entered the room, clearing his throat to announce his presence. Startled, Myra turned to face him, her anger still etched on her features."Myra? what's got you so infuriated? You didn't even know when I walked in." "Aeron found me, Augustine. He traced me to my home and ordered me to go with him. I mean How could he have traced me to my home and demand, no... order me to go with him?" Augustine, momentarily taken abac
Chapter 16Myra stormed away from Alpha Aeron, frustration fueling each step she took. She needed some time alone to cool down, to gather her thoughts away from his infuriating presence. However, Aeron wasn't about to let her slip away so easily."Aeron, will you stop following me around?" Myra snapped, turning to face him, her voice laced with anger and annoyance.Aeron groaned, a deep rumble escaping his throat. "Alpha Aeron," he corrected her, his tone tight and controlled.Confusion flickered in Myra's eyes. "What?" she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief."You will address me as Alpha Aeron because I am your alpha," he stated firmly, his eyes flashing with a mix of authority and anger.Myra squared her shoulders, meeting his gaze without flinching. "Aeron," she said defiantly, emphasizing his name with directness.The words hit Aeron like a punch to the gut, his anger intensifying. His chest heaved as he struggled to maintain control, acutely aware that their argument was taki
Chapter 17Myra stared lustfully at the figure of the half naked man before her and was suddenly overwhelmed with the desire to be with him.His toned muscles called to her, his dark hair and blue eyes lured her, and his obvious desire to have her was overwhelming.Between her thighs a quivering ache began to grow just at the thought of his huge hard shaft inside her.Tears came to her eyes at the intensity of her lust.He pulled down the remnants of what covered him and her breath hitched at the sight of his muscular body.Her panties were soaked and her nipples were hard and swollen.He looked so fucking sexy, naked."Like what you see?" his voice came out soft and seductive. She could only nod. "Do you want this? Do you want me? "he asked again." Yes, please." The words came out in a whimper.She felt the bed dip as Aeron's weight came down.Her legs parted automatically and her body instinctively reached for his.His erection brushed across her inner thigh and her hips arched s
Chapter 18Myra walked briskly through the dark, moonlit streets, hoping that the cool night air would clear her troubled mind. Frustration had been building up inside her, fueled by the relentless thoughts of alpha Aeron that plagued her every waking moment. It had begun to take a toll on her emotions, causing her to lash out at those around her. Just that morning, she had yelled at Allistar's nanny in a fit of impatience when she arrived a mere five minutes late. Myra yearned for a respite from her own thoughts, desperately wishing that Aeron would simply leave her alone.Lost in her contemplations, Myra didn't immediately notice the stranger who approached her, his presence tinged with an unsettling aura. "Hey theregorgeous!" Her wolf senses detected the faint odor of deceit emanating from him. "Hi!" She cautiously greeted him, intending to keep her distance and continue on her way. But the man persisted, undeterred by her lack of interest."I see that you're alone and... " And
Chapter 19Alpha Aeron stormed through the dark alley, a thunderous rage burning in his eyes. The once revered and feared king now faced constant rejection and disrespect. How had his life come to this? Myra, his own mate, dared to undermine his authority as the alpha, diminishing his very persona. The frustration and anger within him reached a boiling point, and he clenched his fists tightly.Without warning, he unleashed his fury upon the nearest building, his fist colliding with the solid structure. The force shattered the wall, sending debris scattering in all directions. The sound of destruction echoed through the desolate alley, briefly drowning out the symphony of his rage.In a fit of primal fury, Aeron rampaged forward, determined to unleash his pent-up anger. He grabbed anything in his path—abandoned cars, motorbikes, trash cans—and hurled them violently into the night. The heavy objects crashed and splintered, becoming mere playthings in the hands of his wrath. Each throw r
Chapter 20Augustine sat across from Myra, his face serious and unwavering. He took a deep breath before speaking, his voice filled with urgency. "Myra, this is exactly what I was talking about when I suggested keeping Aeron close to us. What he did, it was risky, dangerous even. If it were ever discovered that he was the one behind it, it would lead back to you."Myra gazed at Augustine, her brows furrowed with concern. "I know, Augustine," she replied, her voice trembling slightly. "But keeping him close to me…it would drive me insane. It would constantly remind me of what I've been through in his hands."Augustine reached across the table, gently placing his hand over Myra's. "I understand," he murmured sympathetically. "But we have to consider the bigger picture here. Think about Alistar. How would it be for het to grow up without a family? Aeron may be dangerous, but he's our only chance at keeping our family together and safe."Myra met Augustine's gaze, her eyes filled with a m
EpilogueAeron laughed heartily as he tossed a colorful ball back and forth with Allistar in the living room, their playful banter filling the air with joy and warmth. Despite his initial hesitance, Aeron had eventually relented, allowing Myra to go to the grocery store while he stayed back to spend quality time with Allistar. Little did he know that an unexpected turn of events was about to unfold.As they played, Aeron got a mindlink from Myra, her urgent thoughts flooding his mind. "Aeron, the baby is coming. I'm in labor. Please come to the grocery store right away."The realization sank in, and a sense of urgency washed over Aeron. Without a moment's hesitation, he gathered the groceries they had bought and swiftly lifted Allistar into his arms, explaining the situation in a hurry."Come on, peaches, we have to go to the grocery store. It's time to meet your little brother," Aeron said with a mix of excitement and reassurance, his tone conveying the sense of anticipation that fil
Chapter 110The soft glow of evening cast a warm ambience in Aeron and Myra's cozy living room, the gentle flicker of candlelight dancing across the walls. Myra, her baby bump clearly visible now, sat on the couch, a look of frustration etched on her features. Aeron, sitting opposite her in an armchair, gazed at her with a mix of amusement and concern.Myra's mood had been unpredictable lately, a common symptom of her advancing pregnancy, and today was no exception. She fidgeted with the remote control, her brows furrowed as she struggled to find the perfect movie to watch, her emotions teetering on the edge."Aeron, I just can't find anything that feels right!" Myra exclaimed, her frustration palpable. Aeron tilted his head, suppressing a smile as he tried to hide his amusement, knowing well that pregnancy tantrums were a part of the journey ahead."I could help you look for something. What are you in the mood for?" Aeron offered, his voice calm and soothing.Myra sighed, her gaze fl
Chapter 109Myra and Aeron were in the midst of preparing breakfast when the joyous sound of little feet echoed in the kitchen. Allistar, their bright-eyed and adventurous four-year-old daughter, burst into the room, clutching a colorful painting in her tiny hands. Aeron's eyes lit up as he saw her approach, a warm smile embracing his features. "Daddy, look what I made!" Allistar exclaimed, her voice bubbling with excitement.Myra shook her head with a tender smile, a gentle reproach in her voice. "Allistar, how many times will I tell you not to run in the house?" Allistar's eyes widened in innocence as she looked up at her mother. "But Daddy says I can run when I become a big girl. I just turned four, so I'm a big girl now," she protested with all the conviction of a child.Aeron scooped her up into his arms and twirled her around, his laughter filling the air. "Of course, you're a big girl, Allistar, and big girls also obey their mothers," he reminded her gently before setting her
Chapter 108As the golden sunlight bathed the palace garden in a warm glow, Aeron labored diligently, stirring pots and arranging fragrant bouquets under the vibrant canopy of blossoming trees. Soft laughter escaped his lips as he meticulously set the table with ornate silverware, fairy lights twinkling like stars above. The tantalizing aroma of exotic spices and delicacies intermingled with the invigorating scent of dewy petals, infusing the air with a sense of enchantment.Aeron checked that everything was in place, a pleased smile gracing his features. He tiptoed back into the palace to retrieve Myra, his heart aflutter with anticipation. Upon returning to her side, he gently bound a silken blindfold over her eyes, his touch feather-light and tender.With the utmost care, he guided her through the labyrinthine corridors, her trust unwavering despite her curiosity. As they drew closer to the garden, Aeron's footsteps quickened, brimming with eagerness, until they finally came to a h
Chapter 107The dense forest loomed around Aeron like a living labyrinth, each tree a sentinel guarding its secrets. His voice echoed through the stillness, a desperate call searching for any sign of life. "Is anyone there?" he shouted, but the only response was the rustle of leaves in the wind.Undeterred, Aeron began to walk, the towering trees closing in around him, casting shadows that danced in the dappled moonlight. His footsteps seemed to be swallowed by the silent expanse, and a sinking feeling settled in his chest as the forest embraced him in its enigmatic grasp.As he wandered deeper, Aeron's sense of direction faltered, and the forest became an endless maze. Panic clawed at the edges of his mind, urging him to escape the suffocating greenery. In the distance, a cave yawned open like a dark maw, a potential escape from the wilderness that threatened to swallow him whole.Aeron cautiously entered the cave, the shadows within conspiring to distort his perception. The cavern s
Chapter 106As Aeron sprinted through the moonlit night, his keen senses heightened by desperation, he tried to catch Oswald's scent in the air. Frowning, he realized that Oswald had masked his presence, making tracking nearly impossible.Aeron chuckled grimly, muttering to himself, "Buffoon." Undeterred, he dropped to his knees, placing a hand on the ground. Silent incantations escaped his lips, and soon, glowing footsteps appeared on the path ahead. Aeron grinned, his determination unwavering as he followed the ethereal trail.The luminous footprints guided him to a secluded cabin. Aeron cautiously pushed open the creaking door and stepped inside. There, on a wooden bed, lay Allistar. Relief and urgency surged through him, but before he could reach for her, Oswald leaped from his hiding spot, launching at Aeron with deadly intent.Reacting swiftly, Aeron dodged the assault, and the two engaged in a fierce battle once more. Aeron's skill with the sword proved superior, but in a cunni
Chapter 105Panic and fear were etched into every line of Aeron's face as he frantically darted through the sprawling corridors of the palace, his breath coming in ragged gasps. His eyes were wild with desperation as he searched, each passing second seeping away with a sense of impending dread. Shadows clung to the walls, and the oppressive weight of the air seemed to press down on him, suffocating him as he raced against the insidious tide of time.It was in this frenzied state that Aeron collided with Pelenore, his father, and the impact sent them both stumbling, only to regain their footing with a sense of urgency. Pelenore regarded his son with a mixture of concern and confusion, his brow furrowed as he asked, "Aeron, what's wrong? Why are you so frantic?"Aeron's voice trembled with raw emotion as he blurted out, "It's Myra. She's in trouble. I heard her call out to me, and I can't find her anywhere. She's somewhere in this palace, and I can't bear the thought of her suffering."
Chapter 104In the aftermath of the great battle that had just taken place, the once serene and picturesque landscape was now a chaotic scene of destruction. The once lush green fields were now scorched and smoking, the trees reduced to charred stumps. The acrid smell of burnt wood and gunpowder lingered heavily in the air, mingled with the metallic stench of blood.Amidst the chaos, Pelenore stood a short distance away, his body trembling with grief. In his arms, he cradled his beloved son, Baron, the light of his life. The young man's face was now pale, marked by deep wounds. Pelenore's tears streamed down his weathered face, his cries of despair mingling with the chaotic sounds of the aftermath. He held his dying son tenderly, whispering comforting words through his anguished sobs, hoping against hope that he could bring some relief to his child."I'm sorry, father," Baron finally croaked, his voice barely a whisper amidst the havoc. The words were a plea for forgiveness, a burde
Chapter 103The night was dark, with only a pale sliver of moon hanging in the sky. Aeron and Pelenore sat side by side on a wooden bench, their bodies tense and their eyes fixed on the field before them. The soldiers had set up their tents and retired for the night, leaving the deserted field covered in the scattered remnants of their tests. The atmosphere was heavy with silence, broken only by the distant chirping of crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves.Neither Aeron nor Pelenore said a word, but the tension between them spoke volumes. Certainly by the morning they would go into battle and although they had prepared, they still felt tensed. Suddenly, the stillness was shattered by the sound of hooves pounding across the field. A horse burst through the darkness, its body shimmering as if born from smoke. A soldier clad in armor dismounted and bowed in obeisance before Aeron and Pelenore. "Your highness! Great wizard!" Aeron looked at the soldier with an intensity that ma
