That night, we went to bed with a lot of plans for the next day. I wanted to stay awake because it devastated me. After Aramis told me that the only way Layla could get pregnant was if she had used that potion, I just couldn’t calm down. She was the reason I missed everything and would have never survived if Aramis hadn’t come to rescue me. “I called Silver; she is coming over,” Aramis announced, slipping into a grey jacket and getting ready for breakfast.“I don’t know how I couldn’t see how evil she was.” I was still in shock from what we found out about Layla last night. “You were only focused on me and your babies at that time. No one can blame you. The good thing is that you are back now, and together we can punish her very well,” Aramis said as he handed me the black jacket and waited for me to get ready to meet the others outside.“Let’s keep our chins up for now,” I said, walking hand in hand with him to the breakfast table. Everybody had already met Aramis when he went out
Layla’s POV:I woke up feeling sick early this morning. Had to transition in order to recover fully.‘You made a huge mistake last night,’ Ayla said, still not over the fact that I lost the baby. I cried for a little while, but now I’m over it. I can conceive again, and that’s all that matters.‘You need to stop crying over something that we lost. Our major mission is to reach Aramis’ heart. His love should be what we need to focus on. Other things, I don’t care if I lose,’ I muttered, running under the shower and getting ready.‘Since Silver is not in the pack, I can really make the baby plan work,’ I stated, quickly finishing the bath and getting out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around my body.‘But who are you going to pick for this plan? They are all Aramis’ trustworthy guards; they will never agree upon sleeping with you.’ Ayla was truly an idiot to think I would just walk up to someone and ask them to sleep with me.‘Ayla! I am not going to beg anyone. I am going to
Phoenix’s POV:We stood outside the door and heard it all. I kept feeling goosebumps all around my skin. I can only imagine how Mr. and Mrs. Heller must be feeling. They were so impressed by Layla’s innocence that they couldn’t believe she was capable of something like that."She planned it all. She must have told Jill to tell her when I try to seduce him." Layla started crying and yammering without making much sense. I bet she didn’t even hear herself talk, or she would have understood that what she was saying was complete bullshit. Aramis turned to the closet and grabbed a dress to throw on her face. She slid into the dress in a hurry while Aramis kept looking away from her. "You stole the potion," he yelled at her once she had worn a dress."What? I don’t know what you are talking about," she said, shaking her head and hugging herself when responding to Aramis."You are the reason I lost my Phoenix. I suffered because of you, and then you went ahead to scare my kids." Aramis lunge
"This much is enough." Silver held the bottle of blood in her hand and stared at it with hope-covered eyes."Silver! I know you are doing a lot already, but I need your help with something else." I watched her put the bottle down and turn to focus on me."Is it about finding Ezekiel?" she asked, and I smiled at her intelligence. "I am already looking for ways to break the protection spell. Once I am able to do it, it will be a lot easier for me to track Morgana down. The only reason she is able to hide from us is the magic Morine is using. However, she is old and very sick. Using so much magic can lead to her demise. If that happens, it will leave Morgana unprotected. I will try my best to keep looking for them." After discussing her plans and ideas with me, she nodded to herself and then smiled once something else popped up in her head."Thank you for coming back," she said."I couldn’t stay away from here. I just wanted to keep my daughter safe. The Moon Goddess gave Layla a chance
Author’s POV:Years Ago:"Hush little baby, don’t say a word--- moma’s gonna buy you---," her eyes teared up when signing to her little baby boy Tanner. She was nicknamed Majesty after her beauty and elegance were noticed by many others. She was a Luna queen of Alpha King Nicholas Knight, but sadly, her life was not royal because her mate wished to reject her."Jocelina!" she cried for the attention of the nanny they had brought in. Jocelina walked inside and bowed down to Majesty."Where is Alpha King?" she asked, and Jocelina bit her tongue. She knew very well what interests her alpha king had."Majesty! Why do you want to know?" Jocelina sighed, feeling bad for her because it was like a routine now. Majesty will see her mate with that chosen mate of his, and she will not stop crying the entire night."He is with her again?" Majesty asked, feeling this weird anger bubbling inside her."Where else would he be?" Jocelina didn’t understand why the Alpha King couldn’t just love his true
Phoenix’s POV:"The memory came back when I saw her in the wailing world. It terrorized me to my core. I can’t believe I forgot about it. I am sure it was the Moon Goddess trying to save me from the painful memory of that night." Aramis had tears streaming down his eyes while he kept staring at his mother’s portrait."I am so sorry." I instantly got up and wrapped my arms around him. He sobbed in my arms like a little baby who never got a chance to mourn losing so much that night.Not only did he witness his mother kill his father and Naira, but he also saw her attacking him. She didn’t only take away his father from him, but his mother, too."I saw my mother turn into a monster and leave," Aramis bit the inside of his cheek as he broke the hug and held my hand to put it on his chest. "I always thought about why I felt this weird feeling whenever I heard the wailing brides cry. It is because they all imitate my mother’s cry, the cry I grew up listening to every night." He was shaking
"Hassel had offered me a good amount to get rid of Savia. When I arrived on the scene and tried to harm her, Tanner appeared out of nowhere. He started fighting for her and saving her. That’s when I started shouting at the top of my lungs that it was Tanner who did all that to her. Since she was bleeding and in his arms, the nearby pack members started accusing him. I realized he had some trauma from his childhood because he began to sob instantly. It wasn’t our plan to trap him, but it fits perfectly." Kian said while tied to the chair. Aramis had beaten him up really badly in order to make him take us seriously. He was no longer joking around or beating around the bush."So you accused my brother!" Aramis grunted. "Do you have any idea you killed two people that day?" Aramis punched him as he lost his temper. I just stood in the corner, remembering Tanner and feeling bad for him. He did not deserve what happened to him. His best interest was to save Savia. "You will be tortured a
Author’s POV:"You are becoming so difficult to deal with. Why do you have to question my every action?" Misty finally yelled at Hassel after listening to him for a few minutes, complaining about her spending most of the money on shopping and then coming home to sleep and not even looking at him."I’m the one who is difficult to deal with? You barely pay attention to me. This isn’t why I married you," Hassel yelled louder, walking back and forth while she kept sitting on a couch, texting her friends."You have other mates. Why don’t you go spend time with them so that I can be left alone for a few minutes?" Misty muttered, not even raising her face from her cellphone.Hassel was shocked to hear her say that. It sounded like she didn’t even care who he sleeps with anymore."You wouldn’t be jealous if I slept with my other mates?" He asked Misty in confusion and shock. He was slowly beginning to realize that while he used everyone else, Misty used him."It’s not like I can keep you with
