[Aera’s POV]

"Dammit!" I hiss, gently slapping Ayla’s cheek. "Wake the fuck up!"

"Aera?"

Turning, I watch as Silas and Lennox rush toward me, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

"What happened?" Silas demands, dropping down beside Ayla and scooping her into his arms. "Did you do this?"

"Me?" I hiss, rage rolling through me. "More like your own fucking daughter."

"Daughter?" Lennox repeats, her eyes growing wide. "Celia!"

My interest piques due to how she knows exactly who I’m speaking of. Just from that reaction alone, it is easy to see that this wasn’t a one time occurrence.

"Do the elders know about her?" I ask.

"Aera," Silas warns, shooting me a glare. "This is none of your concern, and it would do you well to keep what you’ve seen tonight to yourself."

Oh, so they were keeping this a secret from everyone. It seemed that the self-righteous Silas was also capable of breaking the rules of our world if it meant protecting his own. Too bad he was going to have a hard time keeping at it.

"It isn’t me you need to worry about," I point out, nodding toward the crowd that had begun to grow behind us. "You might want to worry about all of them."

Eyes growing wide, he turns and takes in the crowd, then curses under his breath.

"Don’t let this worry you for now," Lennox murmurs, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Getting Ayla help is our main priority."

"You’re right," Silas huffs, shooting me a look and then looking back toward the crowd. "Come with me."

"Me?" I ask, unable to think of why I would be needed. "Why should I?"

"Because you witnessed what happened and therefore will be of help if Brian has any questions," he responds simply.

For a moment, I debated whether or not I should go. This wasn’t my concern, and I needed to get home to take care of some business anyway. I hadn’t wanted to come to this damned party to begin with, but my father insisted I make an appearance to keep the peace between our packs, so here I was. Who knew that doing what he wanted would get me into such a mess of trouble?

‘If you didn’t think with your dick, you wouldn’t have gotten into it,’ Rayze chuckles, appearing out of nowhere. 'Should teach you.’

‘Not hardly,’ I respond. ‘I’ll continue to do as I please.’

‘Whore,’ he huffs in disgust.

‘Takes one to know one.’

"Aera," Silas calls, snapping me out of my head. "Come along."

"Fine," I sigh, shoving my hands into my pockets. "But once I’ve told you all, I know I’m leaving."

"That’s fine."

When we arrive at Crimson Tides’ infirmary, Silas’ medic, Brian, is already waiting for us. I remembered him from when Alphonze first got injured, as he had helped take care of him. When he sees me, he gives me a sympathetic look, knowing how that moment in time changed the entire course of my life.

"You’ve grown, kid," he announces. "How’s your brother?"

"The same," I respond. "And don’t call me kid."

At my words, Brian lets out a chuckle, but before he can say anything more, a growl escapes Silas, reminding him of the most important matter.

"What happened to her?" Brian asks, beginning to examine Ayla’s wound, which isn't trying to heal around the glass that remains in place.

"The boy can answer that better than me."

I guess this was my cue to speak, but I found myself too busy taking in Ayla’s prone form. Something about seeing her like that wasn’t sitting well and was making an odd emotion build up within me, leaving me feeling all sorts of uncomfortable.

"Kid," Silas repeats, drawing my attention to him. "Can you tell us what happened?"

Opening my mouth, I prepare to respond, but stop as Celi strolls into the infirmary with Lennox on her heels. 

"It was me," she announces, her expression blank. "I lost control, and I..."

Before she can finish, Ayla’s expression shifts to one of agony, and her lips begin to move.

"Ayla?" Silas gasps, grabbing her hand and examining her. "Are you awake?"

"Barren."

Fury rolls through me at having to hear that damned name again. Who the hell was this bastard, and why would she be envisioning him when she was in such a touch-and-go state? What’s more, why the hell did it bother me so much anyway? This whole fucking evening just wasn’t making sense.

"Whose Barren?" Silas asks, furrowing his brow. "Does anyone know?"

"Does that really matter?" I snap. "Shouldn’t the main concern here be getting that fucking glass out of Ayla so she can heal?"

"It is," Brian agrees, his lips twitching into a frown. "But the issue here is removing it without damaging any of her organs."

"Won’t she heal either way?" I ask, confused as to why this was even an issue. "And as a medical professional, you should be able to do it."

"I’m not fully equipped here for surgery," he points out. "But since Ayla is a special case, she can’t go to a hospital."

"Brian," Silas hisses, as confusion rushes through me.

"Oh, sorry," Brian gasps, realization dawning on his face. "I didn’t…"

"Just shut up!"

Narrowing my gaze, I take in both men's expressions, which are slowly shifting from concern to straight-out worry as their eyes come to rest on me.

I don’t speak, as I’m sure they wait for me to question what it was that they meant by special case.

"You shoulder leave," Silas finally sighs, realizing he had made a mistake in making me come along with him. "We can handle the rest from here."

"And if I don’t want to leave?" I challenge, standing my ground. "It’s too late to try to shoo me away since I’ve clearly heard something I wasn’t supposed to."

As the words leave my lips, Silas shoots Brian a glare, but Brian ignores him and busies himself preparing to remove the glass from Ayla’s body. Once he is prepared, he inserts an IV and attaches a bag filled with blood, then flips Ayla over so that the largest piece can be seen protruding from her back.

"Aera, will you step outside with me?"

Celia’s voice is soft as she speaks, but it rings loud and clear to me.

Frowning, I turn and meet her gaze while wondering what exactly it was that she wanted to speak to me about. It couldn’t possibly be anything important.

"It’s about earlier," she explains, fixing her large hazel eyes on mine. "Will you please spare me a moment?"

Remaining silent, I look from Celia to Ayla and then back. Shrugging, I begin to move and motion for her to follow.

Once we are out in the hall and alone, I wait.

"Earlier, you heard…" Celia begins, her cheeks flushing red. "What I said I just wanted to say I didn’t mean anything by it."

Didn’t mean anything? She was so pissed off that she damn near killed Ayla. How could she even claim that it was nothing?

"Didn’t mean anything?" I repeat, raising my brow. "So you just go around unleashing that power and trying to kill people for a hobby?"

"Try to kill?" She gasps, her eyes growing wide. "I didn’t…"

"But you did," I counter, leaning in close to her ear. "You were so jealous that I paid attention to Ayla instead of you that you decided to try to get off her." As each word leaves my lips, I can feel Celia growing stiffer and stiffer, but I don’t give a damn. "But let’s not forget who put me up to it in the first place and who happened to push him along."

Letting a slow smile spread across my face, I watch as Celia’s expression shifts from shock to understanding and then to straight-out fear.

Good, this meant that she understood what I was saying.

"I don’t know exactly what you’re plotting in that fucking head of yours, but you aren’t any better than all those other women," I sigh, not bothering to spare her feelings. "You’ll do whatever it takes to get what you want, even if it means using your body. I don’t know what you were trying to achieve by having me sleep with your cousin, especially when you got so fucking angry about it, but next time you want to scheme, leave me out of it, got it?"

    [Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean forward and nip at her ear, earning myself a small whimper and a shiver of delight."Sorry, you’re just really tense," I chuckle, lightening my massage.Since the triplets were due any day now, the doctor suggested that I help Ayla relax however I could, and since she requested a massage, I was more than willing to oblige. This was the least that I could do, given what she was about to go through. I knew childbirth was hard with just one child, but I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like with three."Why’d you stop?"Cursing, I look down to find Ayla’s big green eyes staring up at me, but I barely register them as I take in her huge belly.Smiling, I let my hands slide down her shoulders

  • Alpha Aera   BONUS CHAPTER 2: Take A Long Trip

    [Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything else. I was already horrible at social events due to being afraid of the judgmental eyes of others, especially when they compared me to my perfect twin sister. So to suddenly be alone with a man twice my age and handsome as hell, of course, I would feel weird. "S-sorry," I stammer, deciding that the only correct way to handle this was to run as quickly as I could. "I should…" "Wait," Alphonze hisses, holding up an arm as I attempt to sneak past him. "Just… wait a second." Frowning, I try to remain calm and not shove his arm away. As the heir of an alpha, I was strong, and my strength would easily be on par with Alphonze's, especially since he just regained his strength and power thanks to

  • Alpha Aera   BONUS CHAPTER 1: A Second Chance

    [Alphonze’s POV]I stand to the side, watching as everyone present for the evening enjoys themselves, laughing, dancing, and being merry. It had been a while since I had attended something like this, so it was taking a bit to get used to it again.The last time I came to a full moon ball was when I found Gloria. It was the day my whole life changed for the better and then for the worst.Immediately, memories of that day began to come crashing into me, from the falling of autumn leaves to the sounds of crickets that chirped around us. I was only twenty-one then and forced to attend the ball, so I found somewhere to hide to avoid being bothered until it was time to leave.Back then, I hated social events and only wanted to focus on my alpha duties, as I had just taken over for my father.After having my heart ripped out of my chest by Hana, I didn’t want a damn thing to do with things like love and mates. That was another reason I didn’t want to be at this damned ball: I risked finding

  • Alpha Aera   I Promise You

    [Aera's POV]Soft music drifts toward me as I stand to the side of the large ballroom, waiting for my date to arrive.Despite all the chaos that had been happening in our world, Silas and Alphonze insisted that we have a small, intimate gathering for the full moon as a way to relax and unwind after all the headache of cleaning up Barren's mess.That's why I was forced into an uncomfortable black tux with a purple vest beneath it and a white button-up beneath that and made to wait while Ayla was dolled up by Isabella and Celia."You look like someone killed your puppy," Alphonze chuckles, coming over to join me. "Try to loosen up, will ya?"As he speaks, I take him in while still thinking that this is some type of alternate universe.Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that my brother would be returned to the man he was before his accident, but here he was, standing in front of me, dressed in a white button-down with the sleeves pulled up so his strong, lean muscles could

    [Ayla's POV]The next day, I sit in the passenger seat of Aera's car, staring at Crimsone Tides Estate while fighting the urge to run away. When I entered that building, I'd be making the toughest decision of my life, and I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready.Beside me, Aera remains silent while holding my hand, so that soothing warmth radiates through me, but it doesn't do a thing to calm my nerves."We can go back," he offers, breaking the silence that has settled around us. "You don't have to do this so soon; you can...""No," I sigh, giving him a small smile. "This needs to be done. You didn't see him there. He's suffering, and despite making some ridiculous choices due to being tricked by my mother, he doesn't deserve to live like that."After much deliberation, I decided to grant my father's wish and put him out of his misery.To live your life trapped by the curse was no way to live, and as his daughter, I had an obligation to grant his request."Come on," I continue, gently pu

    [Aera's POV]I watch as Ayla turns around so that her ass is almost in my face while she begins to undo my pants and free my dick.From my point of view, I can see everything from her perfectly shaved pussy to her glistening lips and her throbbing clit, which is just begging for me to please it.However, with my hands cuffed above my fucking head, I couldn't do anything but continue to stare while she slowly took me between her lips so she could begin attacking my tip with her tongue."Fuck," I hiss, lifting my hips so she would swallow more of me. "That feels so fucking good."Giggling, she continues her attack while beginning to slide her body across mine until her thighs rest on either side of my face.'Eat me,' she growls through mindlink while wrapping a hand around my shaft and the other around my balls so she could drive me even crazier.Not needing to be told twice, I dip my tongue between her folds and begin to glide it up and down her clit while using my teeth to nip at her
