Author’s POV:"He was supposed to call us." Silver and Zion had left the room to stand with the cars. She was calling his phone, but his number was showing out of reach."Oh, God!" she whispered in terror. "I need to go check on the door. And If it is closed," she murmured in terror, "things will turn very dirty," She expressed shock before Zion nodded. He wanted to accompany her, but somebody needed to be left behind with the kids.After Layla’s crazy side came out, they couldn’t really leave the kids behind with Layla. Silver rolled into the car and left for the mountains. She didn’t even take a driver along. She was panicking and racing on the road to reach the mountains."I have promised Phoenix I will take care of her kids and her mate. I messed it all up. Not only did I ignore all the red flags Layla ever displayed, but I let Aramis walk into that door, and now he has gone missing." She was whispering to herself and losing her mind.Layla had also woken up from a good sleep. She
Author’s POV:Layla had been at the door, waiting for Silver to arrive back. She woke up early morning thinking Silver must be called over to pick up Aramis. When 1 pm struck, Layla’s anxiety hit the roof.“I cannot believe he would call her and not me. It is not like she is special. How can a mere friendship weigh in on a mate bond?” she was yammering while rubbing her palms together.It didn’t sit well with her. She was his mate. That was her duty.“Never mind, it will be my duty from now on.” She straightened her posture when Silver’s car parked before her. Coming out of the car was a defeated Silver. The bags under her eyes suggested she had been crying the whole night and morning.“Where is he?” not giving Silver a chance to speak up, Layla interrogated her. Zion had come out in his wheelchair to check up on Silver. She called him late morning to talk to him. She needed someone to tell her it will be fine.He stayed on the call with her while she sobbed and drove back to the pack
Author’s POV: “Daddy is not coming home now,” Evelyn had been crying in her room, but nobody could come to calm her down. The reason behind this was simple: Layla had locked the room from outside for Zion and Silver to attend to the kids. “He will come home.” Roman sat down with her and gently elbowed her. “Our daddy is powerful,” Roman added. “he can fight anyone he wants and can be home as a winner.” “But Mom said aunt Silver has---,” before Evelyn could say anything else, Roman corrected her. “Don’t listen to what Layla says and don’t call her mommy. She is not a gracious lady. See how she was yelling at Aunt Silver when she was crying? Who even does that?” Roman frowned, shaking his head angrily. “She yelled at them because they hurt daddy,” Evelyn sniffled, waiting for her brother to say something. “I don’t believe that. She just wants us to hate Uncle Zion and Aunt Silver,” Roman responded stubbornly, “Even daddy said not to call her your mommy,” “Our real mom said to love
Aramis’ POV:My heart forgot to beat when the sight of Phoenix shook my world. She was alive and breathing. I don’t know if she was one of them and it was just her soul wandering around, but seeing her again had fluttered something inside my heart again.I was stuck to my place, tears leaving my eyes and the pain of losing her freshening up in my memory. This lady in front of me does not know how much her departure saddened me.‘Ah!’ Hawker let out a sigh of relief, ‘I am fe---eling the mate bond,’ I heard his whimpers.I saw Phoenix kicking their asses, and a smile covered my lips. I remember her last days in our world were full of misery. Even moving a muscle used to be such a chore for her.And here she was, on her feet like a fucking warrior he used to be.“Is that all you got?” she let out a chuckle, watching the wailing guards plead before her to leave them alone.“You need to go back to your cage and perform your duties. You can wander around after that. Why do you have to ruin
Author's POV:“I need to go inside and speak to the kids.” Silver was talking to the guards as she stood in front of their door and expected them to open the door.“I’m sorry! You need to speak to the Luna Queen for this,” the guard responded.“What? I need to take her permission to see the kids. Why is the fucking door even locked?” Silver tried to argue with the guards, but it wasn’t their fault. They were only following her orders.“We are sorry! We cannot do anything,” the guards answered. Silver scoffed as she walked out of there. And power walked back to Layla’s room and has a word with her.“Why are the kids locked in their rooms?” Silver barged into Layla’s room. She tried opening the door to the kid’s room but not only had Layla locked the door, but also told the guards to not let anyone get closer to the door. The reason given them was also bizarre. She said she was afraid the wailing brides will come and take the babies with them.“First of all, knock first next time,” Layl
Aramis’ POV:"Huh?" she raised a brow, scanning me from head to toe. I felt my heart thumping as I prayed she would say something soothing next. Even if she doesn’t, I am still relieved to see her kicking."I am your mate," I whispered, taking slow strides near her. My attempts to reach her ceased when she squared up for her defense.I had to take a few steps back to reassure her I don’t mean any harm to her.She kept glaring at me for a moment before the lines on her forehead unfolded. The slow change in her facial expression was a sign she was putting pressure on her brain to recognize me."Aramis!" Her lips pronouncing my name covered my skin in goosebumps.It was a moment of realization for her. She stepped back while her eyes formed a mist before she ran in my direction. It was as if my soul was ready to jump back into my body.I was ready to catch her, smell her, and hold her in my arms. Hawker was desperate to feel her scent all over us once again.The moment she reached me and
Phoenix’s POV:23 October,My heart stopped beating, and darkness covered everything. It was the moment when I knew my time had come. There was no feeling anymore. I couldn’t hear my mate sing; neither could I enjoy his heartbeat.I left the world, my mate, and my babies. And then, suddenly, everything started to feel better. The coldness in the weather was back. I could even feel the wind brushing against my skin.I was able to hear the world again. I was beginning to feel the air again. I jolted awake and found my body lying in a dark cave with bars to prevent any entrance or exit."Where am I?" I whispered, my throat dry and my lips barely moving. The fact that I remember dying and then waking up to a new environment shook the world from under my feet. The scary part was the fact that I was no longer in any sort of pain. My body was feeling energetic as if I had just been born. "What is this place? Where are my babies?" I yelled, getting up on my feet and running a hand over my bo
Author’s POV"She is fine now." a doctor had run all the tests on Layla to make sure Layla and her baby were fine. Layla saw the look on Silver’s face when hearing she was fine. She must be so angry that Layla didn’t die, Layla assumed."Thank you so much for coming here again." Silver thanked the doctor and asked a maid to accompany her to the door. Once Silver and Layla were left alone, Silver let out a grunt to express her anger toward Layla."What the hell were you thinking? Aren’t you happy to exhaust everyone here? Why the heck did you go to the prison?" she wasn’t sure why Layla was walking around being a mischievous brat."It wasn’t my fault, okay? I was just trying to visit the prisoners and see how things are going," she scoffed, shaking her head as if it was indeed true."Why don’t you fool somebody else?" Silver groaned, glaring at her for lying so smoothly."Listen, I am the Luna queen! I can walk around and do whatever I want." Layla had enough of Silver telling her what
