Author's POV:“Back off from her,” Zion glared into Layla’s soul, entering her room and warning her to not disrespect Silver.“All she had ever done is to just listen and listen. You and Aramis! Did you two ever think she is a human, too? Just because she is not a werewolf, you too demanded one thing after another from her.” he cradled her hand and pushed her behind his wheelchair.Silver was not used to anybody taking her side. It was heartwarming but also saddening that Aramis and Layla doubted her.“She is in love with Aramis. You are wasting your time defending her, because the instant he rejects me, she is going to jump in his bed.” Layla was raging beyond her mind.“I don’t want to hear anything about her character. It had become a habit of us werewolves to randomly assassinate anybody’s character. And even if she was in love with Aramis, you should be thankful to her for stepping aside and never trying to win his heart. Because I am pretty sure, even if you are his mate, she ha
Author’s POV:One Day Ago:Layla had heard Silver and Aramis talk about the potion he had been taking that'd make him see Phoenix in Layla."I can't believe this." she had been pacing back and forth in her room angrily."Why can't he forget about her?" she grunted. "I did so much to win his heart, but he can't seem to think about anyone other than that Phoenix. I am sick and tired of that name now," she was rubbing her palms nervously and groaning."This Silver! Why is she so hell-bent on making Aramis's wishes come true? Why does she care if Phoenix's dead body is found or not?" Layla was finding it hard to believe that Aramis was not going to quit once he found her body and puts her to rest."He is never going to stop. It will always be one thing after another. Today it's her body, tomorrow it will be something else related to her," she growled. “I waited so long, but he pushes me miles back every time I take a step forward.” Layla closed her eyes and remembered another thing she ha
Author’s POV:Aramis hadn’t been able to look himself in the eye ever since he slept with Layla. He badly wanted to reject her, but the thought of Phoenix getting disappointed with him was scaring him off.“Have you found anything yet?” Aramis entered Silver’s room, and she wagged her head faintly.“There seems to be no information about the wailing mother. Nobody has heard of her,” Silver apologized, but Aramis was losing control. He needed something to keep going and at this point, he had already slept with Layla and proved to the others that he had moved on. That too, without even finding his mate’s body.“Then I will just sneak in,” Aramis grunted in response.“And do what?” Silver sighed, it is not like you can enter their land without a plan. We don’t even know how they live there. Are the souls trapped inside the body or do we need to find something to free the souls first before freeing the bodies?” Silver was right, but it was also making Aramis anxious.“Then what do I do? J
Aramis had been busy plotting a perfect plan to make Hassel fall for it and somehow commit a crime. So far, Phoenix had been the only witness and victim of him who spoke up. The others were pretty much on his side.But things were beginning to get dirty in the Dark Autumn Pack now.Iris woke up feeling extremely dizzy, and that’s when she found out she was pregnant. After they broke the news to the pack members, Veronica locked herself with her baby in the room. As for Misty, she wasn’t sure how Hassel would accept her and make her the Luna of the pack. He already had two Lunas. It was going to get crowded. And since the other two were already giving him heirs, Misty would be left behind and get neglected.“I am so happy! Now on the day of your mating ceremony, I will---,” Iris was talking to Misty when she noticed Misty’s face changed colors.“What happened? You don’t look very happy,” Iris suspected something was wrong because Misty had been acting up lately. She wasn’t even trying
Author’s POV:Aramis had given up on his diligence at this point. He hadn’t spoken to Layla all these days. In fact, he had forbidden her from appearing before him.In the meantime, a tumult happened in most of the cells and some of the prisoners had fled.“What? how the hell did that happen?” Amaris had just received the call, and it shook the world from under his feet.He was chilling with his kids when he got informed of the prison break.“Get me the names of the prisoners that had escaped.” Aramis clenched his jaw and made up his mind to find them and kill them the instant they were brought back. “What is going on? Why are you shouting?” Silver had just entered his room with a few files in her hands. Aramis raised his face and got a notice of her documents. He suspected she had figured out something.“There was a prison break,” he uttered,It was then his phone beeped, and he got notified it was a false alarm.“What the heck?” he grumbled exhaustedly. Nothing in his life was in i
Author’s POV:“Daddy has to go somewhere in a few days,” Aramis stated, watching Evelyn settle herself on his one leg and Roman sat down on his other leg.“Are we coming with you?” Evelyn asked excitedly. They had never been to a picnic alone with their father. Usually, it would be Aramis and an entire team of warriors whenever they went out, and the kids didn’t like it very much.Because it happened almost every time that their picnic met an end when the warriors informed their father of some issue.“I wish, but it won’t be possible. It is a bit of a da---ngerous job,” he uttered, “but I promise to come back and then take you out to Paris.” he smiled at the kids, as they turned around and smiled at the idea.“But I want you two to promise me that you will be good kids and will listen to your Aunt Silver. I don’t want her to forward a complaint to me,” he warned the kids, and they nodded faintly.Roman had a million questions to ask him. He just didn’t know where to begin from. If he
Author's POV:“Do you really want to go alone?” Silver asked Aramis, who was standing in front of his bedroom door where once Phoenix took her last breaths.“I need to,” he mumbled. “I owe her this much. Her room, her scent, is not something that is traumatizing to me,” he had convinced himself that if he will keep running away, he will upset Phoenix. Layla had heard them talk about opening the room again. She just didn’t know why Silver suggested that.Taking slow steps, she reached them and stood beside them. Aramis really wasn’t keen on noticing anything else.He needed his full strength to face the bed where she died, to enter the room where he once used to see her. After he opened the lock, pushed the door open and an icy breeze brushed against his skin. He held his breath in and forced a smile across his lips.‘Aramis! You are not dating anyone else,’The memories of her when she used to boss him around playfully flashed before his eyes. He could see her in his memory, but that’
Author’s POV:Layla and Aramis had taken a ride to go see the door to the mountains. The dry mountains were a few hour's journey from their mansion. Aramis had been waiting for this day for over seventeen months now.“Aramis! What are you planning for Layla? I heard her cry in her room today,” Silver asked Aramis, who didn’t want to hear anything regarding Layla.“I don’t know. I jus---t don’t seem to care. It is so weird because I always feel bad for others, even if I don’t express it. But for her, my heart just stops caring.” Aramis was honest in his response to Silver.Somewhere in his heart, he was extremely happy that he will free Phoenix’s soul now. But then a big part of him was lost. What will he do once that mission is over?“Maybe because you think she took Phoenix’s spot?” Silver tried to understand his feelings. It would be a lie if Silver will say it surprised her to hear him say he doesn’t care about her. She had noticed it, too. But it was just a big mystery because she
