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
Phoenix’s POV:"They must be big now," I sighed, recalling that the only time I saw them was when I fed them for the first and final time."They are. You will be surprised. They are not regular kids; they are more than that. Evelyn is just an adorable copy of you, and Roman is fierce like you." Aramis smiled as he talked about our kids.I kept staring at his handsome face. All these years stuck in here, I almost forgot half of my life in the real world."Did they not get anything from their father?" I teased him, and he nodded shyly."Their desperate desire to meet their mother. Just like their father craved to meet his mate," he seemed to have gone through a lot when I died. I cannot believe he still kept me in his heart."Aramis! I cannot wait to leave this place," I uttered. "I want to remember everything," I added."Well, we have Silver for that. I’m sure she will be able to pull through something." Aramis and I had been hiding near the mountains for weeks. But it will be less tha
"Are you regretting it?" I asked, looking around at this fancy-looking thing called a car that I completely forgot about."What?" Aramis broke the stare from the road when my voice was able to drag him out of whatever world he was still stuck in."You haven’t said a word ever since we got out of there. What is the matter? Are you having second thoughts?" I asked again since he was just blankly staring at the road again."No! Why would you think that? Do you have any idea how desperate I have been to see you once? You don’t even know how badly I wanted to see you and hug you. Just don’t say that again." He spoke so aggressively that for a moment, I kept staring at him in silence."Are you always that rude?" I asked and then let out a sigh, "If you are thinking you can be rude to me and I will just sit and listen to your tone, you are wrong," I looked outside the window, disappointed at how he had been acting ever since we jumped out of that land."Phoenix! It is not that. I am so sorry
