“Milady! I don’t think we should open the gate in the middle of a war,” the guard whispered in fear seeing me hold a Bronze hammer must have been a little odd for him.Just an hour ago, I wasn’t able to hold a sword and now I was ready to hit the battleground with a bronze ass hammer in my hand.“Open it,” I asked him nicely and he turned his head to Iris and the others, “Don’t look at them, they don’t make decisions here,” I groaned not breaking the eye contact from him.I wouldn’t let my mate fight alone, not happening on my watch.“I---,” he stuttered and looked around to possibly get some help.“Open it!” I whispered and he finally understood I was not backing down. They knew I was not an armature, if I was introducing an idea, I must have a plan for it.He opened the gate, the cold and dusty breeze brushed against my skin. I stepped out and tightened my grip around the hammer when a draugr tried to get past me to the gate. I swung the hammer and his head flew over to the side.Hi
"Get out of my way," I yelled at Iris, who stood even stubbornly to prevent me from reaching the lock."He is gone! Opening the gate means letting that monster in," she screamed back at me while sobbing and shivering at the same time."Aaaaaaaaaaah!" Zion's cry came penetrating the silence and averted my gaze from Iris to the gate."He is still alive," I announced hearing his cries. I expected her to move aside and maybe react more emotionally for her mate this time.There are times when a person makes a wrong decision in either haste or fear but if they are given another chance they mend their mistake.I was wrong!She shook her head even more aggressively this time. Zion’s agonizing screams should have been like needles to the skin but they all decided to turn their backs on Zion.“Didn’t you hear my Queen? She said to get the fuck off her way,” It was Aramis who yelled and rushed towards Iris, which made her bow out of her decision and let Aramis open the gate.The moment we saw th
Just because he had realized he was wrong doesn’t mean my pain withered away. I was in eternal pain because of the decision he has made getting influenced by that snake of a mate.“I don’t forgive you!” my words stopped his sobs, “I will never fo---rgive anyone of you,” I kept my spine straight and my chin up even when my lips were quivering and my eyes were raining, “But you are still my brother. You are still my bl---ood. I cannot see you in pa---in,” I remembered the pain I felt lying there in the hallway and knocking on doors, hoping somebody would come and help Nix.“You know it was sooooo hard!” I closed my eyes to take a deep breath, “I was ruined too!” I smiled as I opened my eyes, “But it is sad that you are only seeing your wrongdoings after I put my life on the line for you. Why is it that I have to show and fight for everybody’s love? Now you are feeling my pain but you didn’t feel anything when I was begging each one of you to have mercy on Nix.” It was hard recalling tha
Everybody has gone to bed but I stayed awake with Aramis, who was busy doing a video meeting with the Alpha King Silas discussing some issues. I believe the North and South were the Wailing Brides' priority. Alpha King Silas has once taken care of the draugrs because they started to come for the living ones after they claimed to be taking care of the dead bodies.I was getting ready for my meeting with Hassel. He had messaged me to meet me after everyone have fallen asleep. I kind of expected it after the act I played out earlier.It felt wrong to wear a red silk nighty for Hassel but it had to be done. I know Aramis was a little discomfort. I have caught him staring at me through his peripheral vision but then would swiftly turn his face away from mine at the same time.“I am headed out,” now that I was ready to have a little meet-up with Hassel, I felt like I was wrong for it. I don’t know how Aramis was able to tolerate and allow me for doing it because it could go in million ways.
"I have asked for Madonna lilies, not a golden-rayed lily," Aramis had been wandering around the mansion assisting the decorations.The gender reveal party was organized by him and he had been taking care of everything without my help. He had specifically advised me not to get out of the bed and letting him handle it all. After getting bored in the room, I finally got out of bed and reached for the foyer. The entire mansion was beautifully decorated with blue and pink roses. The main venue was the Royal garden where a huge box was placed right in the middle.The box was prepared by the Salutary, Dr. Hannah! It was Aramis' idea so that we too get surprised along with the guests. I watched him walk behind the party planner like a stubborn toddler and boss everybody around."You must be happy living a life that my daughter was entitled to have," I knew Joce would have something to say in order to ruin my mood.I turned to her and found her standing alone this time. Morgana was usually st
There was a different kind of happiness filling my heart when I stood with my mate and held the ribbon to open the big box and reveal my baby's gender.Thankfully, nothing really mood decaying happened after Morgana went back to her room. Now we were in the royal garden and all set to reveal our baby's gender. My heart was thumping with curiosity, I bet Aramis felt the same way.All the Alphas and the royal families of the packs have arrived to celebrate this moment with us. After seeing all the eyes set on the box, I knew it was time. My heartbeat was rapid and my face glowing as I pulled the ribbon and a mixture of blue and pink balloons ran up the sky.I couldn't hear anything else after the cheers deafened us."We are having twins?" Aramis whispered in my ear but didn't wait for me to even utter a word back and hugged me tightly. I was honestly never been that happy before. I had a huge smile covered on my lips watching him being all elated and getting congratulated by everyone. I
"I don't want another mom, I already have the best one," Ezekiel was persistent even when she went on to offer him things.Something told me Morgana was planning more than just persuading the kid his mother is not a good mother.I came out to the sight and she straightened her back looking annoyed with me."What's going on here?" I asked, standing behind the kid."We were having a talk, weren't we?" she faked a smile to Ezekiel even when it was clear he didn't want to be around her."Is that so? Does talking bad about his mother seems like a good thing to you?" I rested my hands on the kid's shoulder to let her know I'm standing right behind him and watching her try to manipulate him against his mother.I had all kinds of sympathy for her but the things she had been doing recently were not sitting well with me."Ezekiel! Why don't you go look for your mom?" I broke the awkwardness in the air and sent the kid away before I have a serious conversation with Morgana. The kid nodded and sp
“She is Layla Paine! She is going to be your personal nurse from now on,” Dr. Hannah had come by for my daily checkup and introduced an Omega she-wolf to me. The girl was 20 years old and very attractive. Apart from her beautiful long red hair and blue eyes, her widely presented smile was the feature that grabbed the most of my attention.She seemed very pleasant and happy to help me.“Hi,” she greeted, mending the dark blue dress that she has to wear every day when attending to me. This was the uniform she has to follow just like the other workers at the packhouse mansion.“Nice to meet you, Layla,” I smiled at her but couldn’t get up to greet her. I was in very bad shape now; tired and exhausted all the time. My health has gone down drastically. I would barely leave my room or wander around.The most I would do whenever I felt bored was to wander to the balcony and stay there for a few hours before returning to bed again.“I will see you in a few days. Don’t worry, everything will b
