Third POV. Leila did not dare go to Aiden’s room. She went to her sisters. Even though she could go to Aurora, she did not want to for fear that Aurora might also blame her for her father’s kidnapping and end up hating her. She laughed at herself since she had become stronger than before but after what happened today, she knew that she was just lying to herself. Too broken to handle anything and afraid that she might think too much and end up being a crying baby, she gave Amaya control and locked herself up before lying on the couch. Aiden had walked to his study since he was afraid that he would find Leila in the bedroom. He closed his eyes as his fingers ran in his hair in frustration. Everything that happened today rang on his mind making him feel as if he could punch someone. He knew he was at fault. Even without being told by anyone, he knew that if he had listened to Aurora nothing would have happened to his father, the warriors who died would still be in the gym practicing
Third POV. “No, we aren’t leaving,” Amaya said as she shook her head. They looked at her in confusion as they did not understand her or why she was saying that. “Why? I thought that you hated Aiden. You can use this opportunity to get you and Leila out of here and out of his life,” Marcus asked with a frown on his face as he was confused. “Even if I can, I won’t. Leila loves him so much as the wolf in us. I can’t hurt them as I will be hurting myself too,” Amaya said, making them remain silent as they understood her. The mate bond works weirdly thus they know nothing will make Leila stop loving Aiden after just some hours of argument. “But don’t you think that it will hurt them more when they continue seeing him treating them indifferently?” Elana asked with worry in her eyes. She wanted what was best for her sister. Seeing her in pain also made her heartache. She was after all, like Leila’s mother, and a mother had to protect her child from any pain. “It will of course but wha
Third POV.“Morning,” Amaya greeted the people who were having breakfast at the dining table. “Morning,” they murmured but Aiden remained silent. He continued eating his food without even lifting his head to look at his mate. Seeing his attitude, Amaya rolled her eyes as she dragged the nearest seat so that she could sit down. She was also happy that it wasn’t Leila who had control as she would have been hurt by indifference. “Why haven’t you left already? I thought that you were leaving?” Aiden asked without casting a single glance. “Why should I leave?” Amaya asked as she glanced at him but upon seeing that he wasn’t bothering to look at her as he spoke, she was angry and vowed that she would cast a glance on the cold-hearted man. “Because as long as you are here, a lot of people will end up dead. You just bring bad luck anywhere you go,” he said, making the people present hold their breath as they were afraid they would also be involved in their argument. Amaya clenched her h
Third POV. They all looked at her as she left. Elana looked at the meal she had left on the table and frowned but she did not call her back as she knew better than anyone how the darkness tempers are. “Elana, is your sister fine?” Eric asked worriedly. “Yes, she is. Please, don’t mind her but you better not anger her every time you see her eyes with that color,” she answered as she looked at him. “What? Isn’t it just her wolf?” he asked, making Elana, Aurora, and Marcus shake their heads but did not bother answering his question. They were confused. “Why don’t you tell us what you are trying to say and what did she mean when she said that is the goddess of destruction?” Jordan asked as he looked at the three he had a feeling that they were hiding something from them. “As she said, kindly don’t provoke her. Don’t do anything to make her angry or you will regret it. She can even kill you. Leila is my best friend but I am also afraid of Amaya. It is one thing to provoke and mess wi
Third POV.They all left the dining room and went to practice. Now that they knew what was waiting ahead of them and what their king and queen were up against, they saw the need to help them.Not only that, they knew that Leila was a good person. She had become their friend and never looked down upon them even if they had a lower rank than them.In a blink, two weeks passed with them always practicing. With the help of Elana and Marcus who had the scenes of the great fight in the last great war, their fighting skills increased rapidly.They were not selfish thus all warriors were taught the skills apart from the highly risky ones. During their free time, Eric, Matteo, Jordan, Doris, and Aurora accompanied the family of three to the elders.Although they could not help out much, they could provide anything needed in the middle of the training.Each one of them had taken a liking to a certain gift. With the urge to have it, their minds proceeded with the teachings.“I wonder what you guy
Third POV.“I should have known that you little fellows didn’t summon me 'cause you missed me. You always do that when you need something from me,” the old man said as he pouted and pretended to be angry as he was wronged.“How can that be Grandpa? We miss you but we have been so busy. I am sure you do know what has been happening over here since grandma always looks after us,” Leila said as she tried to make the old man feel better.“Oh, my dear princess. Where is that man who thinks so highly of himself? Does he think that I can’t kill him?” The old man asked coldly but Elana snorted while Leila started shedding tears since she had always felt that no one loved her except for her sister and brother-in-law.Hearing her grandfather’s words, she couldn’t help but feel warm.“Grandpa, can you please stop pretending? If you cared about her then why didn’t you show up even though it happened two weeks ago? Did you have to wait till we summoned you?” Elana said disdain evident in his voice.
Third POV.“Why not? He is the cause of this. Now that he also caused his own daughter’s abyss, there is nothing else holding him back,” their grandfather said.All this while, Eric, Matteo, Jordan, and his mate Doris were shocked and couldn’t find their voices.At first, they thought it was a mistake but after listening to the conversion more, they understood some things but at the same time they were confused about others.“Sir, but what you have said so far is different from what we have always been told by our parents,” Eric said courageously.Everyone looked at him. Although Endymion never liked being interrupted when he spoke to his granddaughters, this time he wasn’t as he knew the people surrounding them had supported Leila unconditionally while even her mate refused to.“Oh, what then were you told?” Endymion said as he raised his eyebrow.“That God Erebus' grandson died on a battlefield. Also as a result of revenge for his death, he sent his daughter and son to come not only
Third POV. “Why Grandpa? Do you have to be biased just like grandma when it comes to issues concerning that old man?” Elana asked angrily, making the old man speechless as he wondered how things had escalated to that point. “I am not biased. I am saying this cause I know how powerful that old man is. If you guys can learn some techniques from him, you will improve greatly in a short while,” the old man said as he sighed. “Are you sure that’s all? You aren’t hiding anything else from us?” Leila asked as she raised her eyebrows to him. Endymion looked at Leila and wondered when she had become unreasonable just like her big sister but at the same time, he was shocked that the little girl had seen through his mind. “Fine,” he said as he gritted his teeth and glared at Leila. In a few days, I will record the trains from your enemy and send them to you. The methods and attacks are a bit tricky as they are so complicated that you may have difficulties while trying to master them. With J
