I am so sorry for making you all wait. I will try to update this book three times a week. In the meantime, I will be updating my new book Falling For My Sister's Mate and Mayor's Addiction. Please forgive me for the delay in updates, I have actually a lot of work piled up on me lol.
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
"I am guilty of what I did," Zion murmured in his mouth once again. Aramis took Roman to his room to catch up with Evelyn, while I came straight to the living room to have a talk with Zion."Of course you are. You didn’t feel guilty because you realized how wrong you were or because you loved your little sister. You felt guilty because no one came to your aid in that war zone except that same little sister, whom you had abandoned. When you lost everyone else, you came back. That was guilt, but how is it going to help me? I lost the years of my life. I went through pain and agony that only I know. How did you expect a dying person to react to your constant apologies? I am sorry! But you are just like the others." I was pouring my heart out without a care in the world about how he would feel."He is genuinely sorry. There are people who will still not learn their lesson even after they experience bad karma. Zion is a changed person. He didn’t poison you, Phoenix. I am sure he messed up
"You are not happy to see me alive?" I asked Evelyn, a little late in realizing how inappropriate it was to ask a toddler that question."I am happy," she answered while sitting on my lap and looking down. She was frightened. I could feel her heart pounding against my palm from behind her back."Is there something scaring you?" I asked, and she jumped off my lap to walk over to her bed in silence. It was weird how my question triggered her."I am just very sleepy," she answered from afar, crawling into her bed to lie down. Aramis took Roman out for a walk so that I could spend some time with Evelyn. It was heartbreaking to see my daughter keep a distance from me."She never used to be so silent," a comment fell onto my ears. I raised my face to see Silver smiling at me from the door."Then what happened to her?" I asked, walking over to her and letting Evelyn rest as she had demanded.Silver looked hesitant in responding to me. The fidgeting of fingers and biting off her lower lip, th
"I cannot believe you are using my missing memory to escape this situation," I yelled at him for trying to be sneaky with me. I kept him in my heart all those years, trying to find a way to escape to meet him again while he was happily married here."Please, just calm down first." His request made me even angrier. Wanting me to calm down, as if my anger wasn’t justified."No! Why did I not tell my wolf to remember this memory? Why didn’t I tell her you had betrayed me? You must have done it when I died." I was not ready to take any lies from anyone. Just because I died and lost my memory doesn’t mean they can lie to me."He is not lying." Silver took his side. He kept her here and gave her shelter and respect. Obviously, she was on his side."I am not in the mood for any discussion anymore. I want to rest and be with my babies for now." Before I burned the mansion down, I let out a deep breath and calmed myself down. I needed to simmer down. Once I made myself clear about what I wante
Roman told me how Layla had been mistreating everyone after Aramis left. It bothered me greatly that the she-wolf to whom my mate had shown so much respect had turned against everything and everyone because she believed she was entitled to more.And then my son told me all about her actions, including her threats and evil behavior toward my babies.I was beyond enraged. My heart was pumping so much blood that I felt like the stream of blood would pour out of my nose and eyes."She had the nerve to think she could mistreat my babies and get away with it," I grunted angrily, making tight fists and getting on my feet to pay this bitch a visit.I marched out of the room and bolted to Layla’s room in anger. I was knocking angrily and tapping my foot on the floor. I was prepared and ready to throw my hands at her. Nobody gets to put their hands on my babies. She was scarring Evelyn by making her childhood a curse on her, and I was going to stop her.Layla opened the door, probably after mak
