All Chapters of Howling Hearts: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The door barged open, followed by a scream. I shot out of bed ready to fight whatever might come my way. As my eyes still struggled to open, a bunch of different giggles bounced off the walls. When my eyes finally opened, I saw Layla Freya and my mom all standing at the entrance door. Laughing at me.“I bet this is comedy gold”, I said, before climbing back into bed. I threw a pillow over my head and the blankets over that, getting ready to fall back into dream land. Suddenly, the blanket was yanked off my body in one swift motion. I curled up into a ball, keeping my pillow over my head as an attempt to hide from both the sun and their voices. “Scarlet, it’s your mating ceremony today”, Layla said in a serious tone. I hopped out of bed again. How could I have forgotten?Today will be the biggest day of my life. I had a little happy shuffle and everyone giggled again. I glanced over at the bedside clock and saw that it was 6 am.My eyebrows rose and I shifted my questioning gaze bet

“Lucian im pregnant and carrying the future alpha of this pack”, I heard her say between the beats of my heart that was like a drum in my ear. I looked over at Lucian and his face wasn’t shocked. He placed his alpha mask on, making his emotions disappear into thin air. “Riley, me and you both know that child isn’t mine”, he said coldly.“Oh Lucy, no need to hide from it anymore. I know you’ve planned the ceremony and we don’t have to let it go to waste. I’ll walk down the isle next and we can mark each other.” My jaw dropped to the floor.Was she really this delusional? As I was looking around the room, trying to find the missing pieces to the story. I realized no one was saying anything, the birds were no longer chirping and the whispers outside had died down.I looked at them again and saw that time was frozen. Did I do this? “No my dear child, I did”, the all too familiar voice said from behind me. I looked down the hall and saw her beauty radiating from her. Her skin was norma

My jaw felt like it hung down to the floor. I felt Lucian grab my hand protectively before moving me behind him. I could tell that he was royally pissed.I looked over at the elder to see if he was going to do something. His eyes were big and filled with shock at first but then he blinked it away and regained his composure. “May I ask what the son of Zeus is doing here?” Just as Aiden was about to say something, Lucian flew forward with a punch that hit his jaw.Aiden fell to the ground because of the unexpected impact. His smug face, however, didn’t falter for even a split second.A single drop of blood trailed down his chin before he wiped it away with his forearm. “Finally, the big proud alpha grew a pair” Aiden said in a mocking tone.A growl erupted from Lucian’s chest before he got into a fighting stance. Aiden quickly jumped up onto his feet before he also did the same. My heart was pounding out of control at that point. “Hey lover boy. How about we fight for the hand of Scar

“Shall we continue then?” The elder asked, looking between the two of us with a soft look. We both nodded in unison without breaking eye contact. The elder cleared his throat and the crowd went silent. “Lucian Silvermane, do you take this woman as your mate, allowing her to mark you and become one with you, your second half for all eternity. To love her, to comfort her, to guide her and to honor her for as long as you both shall live?” “I do”, Lucian said, smiling brightly. “Scarlet Bloodmoon, do you take this man as your mate, allowing him to mark you and become one with you, your second half for all eternity. To love him, to comfort him, to guide him and to honor him for as long as you both shall live?” “I do”, I said, with my voice squeaking and a tear falling down my cheek from all the joy that was filling each inch of my body.Struggling to contain itself. “You can say your vows now”, The elder said, knowing that we had prepared ourselves. Lucian nodded his head before he c

I genuinely couldn’t be nearly as powerful as she is making me out to be. I have to be dreaming. I pinched myself to make sure and well, the truth ended up slapping me so hard in my face that I was entirely unsure of how to undress it. “So tell me why exactly, he is so interested in this power that I don’t even know I have?” I said, raising my eyebrow. “He wants Aiden’s son to be the most powerful god there is so that no one can go up against him.So that he could rule for all eternity while Zeus brainwashes him.Now that you have marked Lucian instead, Zeus will try much harder to break you apart. For your child might be the most powerful being to have ever existed. A child that might hold the power to control the whole universe.”Everything became as clear as clean water running down a mountain. Bringing back all the puzzle pieces together, forming the picture and gluing it all in place.“For Zeus it is all about power”, She added, making a shiver run down my spine.Lucian squee
