The rogue heir’s redemption Chapter fifty six: foggy field
Aria's POVI'm currently standing in a foggy field. I turn to see if anyone is close, but no one is. It's more because I can't see anything, but the white fog covers the whole place like smoke.Sounds of giggling from a few feet away make me snap my head in that direction. My sensitive ears pick up the light sound of running kids.I follow the sound of the kids running, but as the sounds get louder, the fog grows thicker and darker.I jerk to a stop when I step on something soft yet hard. The sound of a high-pitched scream fills my ears, and I realize I've stepped on a child's foot. Still not able to see anything, I wave my hand around, trying to find the child's body, but I can't. Their foot disappears from under mine, and I scream, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean—"Another scream cuts me off.I turn to the direction of the scream, waving my arms in that direction, and I reluctantly feel a child's shoulder. I quickly pull her closer.A pair of golden orbs stare up at me. I place my hand

Xander's POV:“We have enough warriors to find everything out in a few seconds, man,” Caine smiled.“We’re finally going to get rid of that bastard. For good this time,” Russell rested his hands on the table.We’re currently in a meeting discussing how we would kill Victor, but little did they know, I don't want him dead. I have other things in mind. Killing him that easily doesn't seem right to me.Someone as awful as Victor doesn’t deserve a death that simple. Plus, I have a lot of questions to ask him.“What do we do with the body after?” Jacob asks from the other end of the table, and I raise my head to stare at him.“I don’t care, as long as he’s out of the picture. That’s enough for me,” Caine says, taking another sip of his drink.“I agree with that,” Russell spoke. He and Caine burst into a fit of laughter, fist-bumping each other in the process.I shake my head in distaste. I can’t believe these two fools are alphas. They always try to turn any situation into a joke.“We’ll

Xander's POVI know Jackson tends to be a prick and leaves more than enough missed calls and voicemails for any inconvenience just to bug me, but Lucas never calls. When he does, it’s always one or two missed calls, but this time, he left like ten missed calls and a few weird texts, I stared at them for a long but couldn’t get what he was trying to say."Can you guys give me a sec?" I say, excusing myself from the room. I didn’t stop until I was outside.I tap on Lucas's name on the screen to dial his number, I watch as the phone rings a few times, but there was no answer from him. I try dialing his number again. After what feels like forever, I try a few more times, but he doesn’t pick up. Something is definitely wrong. The few times I’ve called Lucas, he always picks up after two rings.I feel a twitch in my heart; I need to know what the heck is going on. I dial Jackson’s number, and after a few rings, he picks up.“Alpha,” his voice is a bit breathy and heavy. Confirming my specul

Xander’s POVIt was his turn to be surprised. “How was I supposed to know? She barely smells like a mated wolf.” I’ve been trying to understand why she doesn’t smell so much like a mated wolf at first I thought the issue was from or maybe it was nose or something. “I know. I didn’t find out from her scent. I had to run tests after I found her.” He passes me a paper.“It’s the test result,” he clarifies.I stare at it, and there it was—she was, in fact, pregnant. I read the results a few more times to be sure.The anger that had consumed me was nowhere to be found as excitement took over. I’m going to be a father. I feel my wolf pacing with joy within me.I’ve always dreamt of becoming a family man with a lot of kids. I’ve always had this affinity for kids; they’ve always loved me.I’m finally going to become a father. The thought alone made a smile creep up on my face.“She is pregnant,” I whisper, staring at the test results once more.“But you didn’t notice any changes from her?” L

Aria's POV"Eight months," I whisper-yell the words, causing my head to throb."Fuck," I mutter, placing my hand on my head to subside the pain."Easy," Xander smiles, placing his hand on mine squaring it in a comforting manner. "Are you sure it’s been eight months? It shouldn’t have been that long. Does that mean they’ve gone along with the plan with the poison I made? So I wasted days of my life making it just for them not to use it because I was out.""Sunshine, I was just joking," he must’ve noticed the horror expression on my face. I took a deep breath."Are you sure?" I inquire. He could be lying just to get me to calm down. What if I lost the chance to avenge my parents? What if he didn’t get to kill v victor, what if he survived and his currently an enemy to the pack. What’s if it has been years not months, and Xander is just trying to calm me down?But he still looks the same, hasn’t been a major change in his looks. I take a deep breath, my head throbbing hard. "Look over

The second time I'm glad to be back home, it doesn’t smell like disinfectant, herbs, or anything nauseating. But for the past two days we've been back, Xander has been a little too overprotective and a bit cranky. He gets mad at me for trying to do anything other than sleeping, taking a bath, or eating. For some weird reason, he keeps asking me if I have something to tell him. When I say no, he simply nods and looks a bit disappointed, then goes back to doing what he was doing before.Each time I try to bring up the poison or anything associated with the plan on Victor, he dismisses it or tells me we'll talk about it later.I know I'm supposed to be a little glad he's been home for two days straight, but I wish he'd go busy himself with work like he always does, but he isn't. He's been all up around me for the two whole days; the only times I get to be alone is in the bathroom.But something about the way he’s been treating me nuts doesn’t seem right to me and I plan on uncovering t
Last Updated : 2024-01-16The rogue heir’s redemption Chapter sixty two: am I pregnant?
Arias povThe little discussion with Xander almost turned into a fight, I tried to make him understand. If where to be pregnant I’ll be the first to know not some Lucas who might’ve mess the result with someone else’s. “I can’t believe you’re making us do this” i say shaking my head with a little smirk. “Making us do what” Xander flashed a smirk of his own. “Making us, go back to the healers, I know I’m not pregnant because I don’t feel pregnant” I laugh. “Well… only time will tell, wait until after the test then we can tell you aren’t pregnant” his eyes were focused on the road this time. “Aren’t. I know I’m not” i cross my arms on my chest staring out the window. Poor Xander is going to be disappointed, I don’t what possessed Lucas to come up with a test result like that. The rest of the drive to the healers was silent. I stared out the window while Xander focused his attention on the road. “Do you have any murder tendencies?” I ask when he opens the car door for me. He arch
Last Updated : 2024-01-18The rogue heir’s redemption chapter sixty three; change of heart.
**Aria's POV** I opened my eyes to an amused yet smiling Xander. I followed his gaze to the screen and saw something like a tiny bean displayed; it was the baby, very small. "There is the baby," Lucas said, motioning to the screen. My cheeks heated up a little, embarrassed for doubting the test results for the first time. After a few minutes of checking, Lucas wrote down some things in his notepad before turning off the machine and gave me a tissue to wipe off the cold gel from my stomach. "We'll get you a few pictures of the ultrasound to take home," he said before excusing himself from the room. "Hey," Xander started, "are you okay?" Concern covered his face. I didn't know my eyes were tearing up until I felt a stray tear roll down my cheek. "I'm fine," I quickly wiped the tear away from my face. I don't know what to feel; finding out I'm pregnant is still a little shocking to me. How the heck was it possible? I should've been the first person to know I was pregnant, so how

XANDER'S POV“I’m fine,” Aria groans in my arms as I carry her.Aria was discharged two days after being admitted to the healer’s. She recovered faster than expected, but I still insisted on carrying her. I wanted to hold her close. As we walked to the lake, I thought she would want to go straight home, but instead, she asked to stop here.“Xander?”“Yes, Sunshine?”“You can put me down here,” she says with a small smile. “We’re at the lake.”“Are you sure?” I tease.“Yes,” she laughs, playfully slapping my chest.“Let’s sit over there,” she points to some large rocks near the water. I carry her all the way and sit on one of the rocks, her arms still around my shoulders.“Okay, mister clingy,” she chuckles, leaning into me.“Xander,” she says softly after a few moments of silence.“You’ve been avoiding this,” she begins. “Every time I try to apologize, you brush it off. Xander, it’s my fault what happened. You shouldn’t blame yourself. I made a mistake, and I—”I cut her off with a kis
The rogue heir’s redemption chapter ninety seven: a week without her.
XANDER'S POV It’s been a week without my mate. A week without her barging into my office, a week without her leaving snack wrappers all over the place.If I could go back to that day, I would’ve taken her to the car first and made sure someone took her with the others. But I didn’t. I thought I wouldn’t be able to catch Victor if I did, that he’d escape before I reached the car.If I had, she wouldn’t have risked her life to save mine. She wouldn’t have put herself and our baby in danger.Now, seeing her lying on this bed, with the relentless beeping of the monitor beside her, is the last thing I wanted. Even though she’s passed out before, this time is different. This time, I don’t know if she’ll make it.Lucas said her chances of waking up soon are slim.But just like she didn’t give up on me, even when my heart stopped, I won’t give up on her. She’s a fighter, and I know she’ll wake up.“You’ve got it in you, sunshine,” I whisper, gently squeezing her hand.Lucas said she used e
The rogue heir’s redemption chapter ninety six: nothing is working.
ARIA'S POV “Alexander, please, you have to wake up,” I said between sobs.My mind was completely blank. I didn’t know what to do or how to help him. All I could do was cry, holding his head on my lap.“You need to wake up,” I whispered, trying to connect with my wolf inside me.“We need to focus. We can save him,” I told her as I finally felt her presence.“No, we can’t,” she replied sadly. “He was stabbed with a silver knife, and it’s poisoned. Not just any poison, Aria it’s strong, and the blade went into his heart. We don’t even have anything to work with. You’ve already used up all the antidotes, and nothing is working. He’s not breathing, and his heartbeat is fading.”“Remember that time we healed a butterfly with just my hands?” I reminded her desperately.“That was ages ago, and it only worked once,” she countered. “Besides, Xander is not a butterfly.”“We have to try. I can’t forgive myself if anything happens to him. I don’t think I’d even be able to keep breathing without h
The rogue heir’s redemption chapter ninety five: if I can't have you... no one can.
ARIA'S POVXander stood firm, his icy gaze locked on Victor. The tension in the air was thick, and I stayed rooted to the rock he had placed me on, my thoughts swirling as Victor’s taunts rang in my ears."I have no idea what file you’re after, Xander, but you’re not getting it," Victor said with a smug grin, his stance oozing confidence.Xander’s fists clenched. "Hand over the files, Victor. Or else."Victor chuckled darkly, his laughter echoing through the clearing. "Or else what? You think I’m scared of you? You’ll never get the files, and you’ll never know what’s in them. I’d rather burn them than hand them over."Xander took a menacing step closer. "Then apologize. Apologize to Aria for killing her parents to satisfy your greed."The mention of my parents made my chest tighten. I felt like the ground beneath me was about to give way.victor raises a brow."apologize for killing the holloways" Xander growled, even though Victor had a hand in the fire Xander's family were in why is
The rogue heir’s redemption chapter ninety four: your lucky day.
ARIA'S POV When I was sure Albert was dead, I dragged what was left of his body to the mud pit at the far end of the clearing. My hands were trembling, and my breathing was uneven, but I had no time to dwell on it.The chaos from the ceremony was still ringing in my ears, and I needed to get back. After wiping my hands on the damp earth, I made my way back to the gathering. But when I arrived, what greeted me was utter destruction.People were running in all directions, panic clear on their faces. Shattered decorations and overturned chairs littered the ground. Fires burned in scattered patches, and the air smelled of blood and smoke.I searched the area for Marcus, but he was nowhere to be seen. Neither was Xander. My heart pounded in my chest as I scanned the chaos. The only person I could make out was Russel, who was helping people escape from the premises.Where’s Victor? I thought to myself, my anxiety growing.Pushing through the chaos, I kept searching until I finally caught s
The rogue heir’s redemption chapter ninety three: apologetic goodbye
ARIA’S POV““Hello, Berta. I knew we’d meet again, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon,” I said with a smirk, watching the fear flicker in her eyes. It was clear she hadn’t anticipated this confrontation, and the sight of her trembling filled me with satisfaction.“A-Aria... What are you doing here? And you...” She paused, sniffing the air cautiously. “You smell different.”“We’re not friends or long lost allies, Berta, so what I smell like should be none of your business,” I replied coldly, taking a deliberate step toward her.She stepped back instinctively, and for every step I took, she retreated further, her back finally pressing against the rough bark of a tree.In a sudden, desperate move, she pulled out a knife and plunged it into her stomach. Warm blood splattered onto my hand, and for a moment, I froze in shock.“Berta!” I shouted, my voice rising with disbelief. “What the heck did you just do?”She slumped to the ground, clutching her self inflicted wound, her breaths com
The rogue heir’s redemption chapter ninety two: I am untouchable
ARIA'S POV From the corner of my eye, I spotted a familiar figure a woman with grey hair tied in her usual thin plaits, wearing the same plain dress I'd seen her in countless times before.Her scent hit me before her identity fully registered, and with it came a rush of emotions I couldn’t suppress. Anger, grief, and hatred all mixed into a bitter concoction I’d been forced to swallow over the years.How could I ever forget that scent?For a moment, I hesitated. I wanted to stay and savour the view before me Victor, the man who orchestrated so much of my suffering, unknowingly sipping from his poisoned glass of wine. But this wasn’t just about revenge. It was about justice, and justice demanded answers.I turned on my heel and followed her, keeping my distance. She walked briskly, her movements deliberate, as though she were on a mission. My instincts screamed that this could be a trap, but curiosity won. Whatever this was, I needed to know.My hand brushed the weapon strapped to my

XANDER'S POV"i'm in" Marcus says the desperation in his tone clear as day.“This isn’t the place to talk about these things,” I say, my voice steady but firm. I glance at him, trying to figure out what Aria must have said to him. Something has clearly changed because, out of nowhere, he’s full of determination to join the plan.I still can’t wrap my head around it. The last time we spoke, he made it very clear he had no interest in this event, let alone helping with anything related to it.In fact, he outright told me he wasn’t coming.“That’s exactly why we need to do this now,” he says. His tone is calm but urgent as he pulls a small pocket knife out of his jacket. Before I can even react, he slices his palm without hesitation. Blood seeps from the cut, and he holds out his hand toward me, silently urging me to shake it.For a moment, I’m stunned. I blink, trying to process what just happened. Amusement and shock mix inside me.“Do you even know what you’re doing right now?” I ask,

ARIA’S POV“Oh, hey Marc,” I say, smiling as Marcus steps up beside me from behind.“Hey, Marc,” Kristie echoes, wiping her mouth with a napkin.“Hi,” Marcus responds with a polite nod.“I’m Kristie,” she introduces herself, offering him a hand to shake before I even get the chance to introduce them.“Nice to meet you, Kristie. I’m Marcus,” he says, shaking her hand firmly.We both chuckle at their exchange, though my mind is elsewhere.We need to get out of Xander’s reach, I tell Marcus through the mind link.I haven’t looked back since Kristie and I walked away, but I can feel Xander’s eyes boring into my back, hot and heavy like a burning flame.“He’s just being a good mate, as he should be, Aria,” Marcus replies.“You call making me uncomfortable being a good mate?” I retort.“Well, if it were me…” He pauses for a moment, scratching the back of his neck. “If my mate were still here, I’d probably be staring at her like a lovesick stalker twenty-four hours a day if she wasn’t next t
