CHAPTER 0221

CHAPTER 221 Aria “My Queen," I heard Nia shout from upstairs when I rushed to ascend the stairs, only to find Brave, Bryant, and Nicholas soaking in blood coming out of both the nose and mouth. “What the hell is going on here?" I asked, feeling their heartbeat, but nothing was there. “No this can't be. No!" I said about to throw myself to the floor when one of the guards caught me. My entire world froze and I didn't even know what to do. “My children! My children are dead !" I screamed, roughly moving their hands with the hope of hearing their little cries, but silence was all they gave me. My heart was breaking to its core and I could see my entire world crumbling down. I couldn't imagine my life without my children. I kept screaming as though something bad was about to swallow me whole. The entire Palace went mute, and everyone came to see what was happening, only to find the three lifeless bodies of my children lying next to me. I couldn't take it. I couldn't even manage

CHAPTER 0222

CHAPTER 222 Aria I was now discharged from the hospital on the hardest day of my life. It was the burial day of my children. After taking my bags home Zion and I headed to the graveyard. There the entire Pack had gathered to lay my children to rest. I was breaking, yet I tried my best to stay strong. The moment those little coffins were taken out of the car a cold tear ran down my face as the memories of how we used to be started playing in my head. The way they would smile at me every time I greeted and also hold tight to my shirt was just crazy. I knew I would be missing all that. “It's OK, let it out," Nia whispered while I tried to hold back my tears but they kept falling. The coffins were being lowered and I couldn't help but start crying. This time rawly. I was pained at the loss of my babies. I never expected them to leave at such an early stage. The burial finished, and everyone made their way back home, but I chose to remain. I had to say my goodbyes to my children.

CHAPTER 0223

CHAPTER 223 Zion [One month later ] Things have gotten back to normal and Aria is bonding with Salt so well. Derrick, Bruno, and I had gone fishing while Aria and Nia were busy preparing the food back at the palace. It had been days since this kind of peace had located us. We were so happy that all evil had faded. We placed the net in the river and then waited for a few minutes before pulling it out only to find that it was empty. “I thought the fish were scared of the King's too. Could it be that they don't know we're fishing with the King?” Derrick asked while Bruno and I just laughed. “You play too much. Will there be a time you get serious?" Bruno replied. “I need to send him to an active battle so that some seriousness gets into him." "I don't even know how to fight yet. That would definitely be a bad idea. Are you trying to get rid of me?” "No. You know that's impossible right?” I asked before something heavy pushed our boat. We all looked at each other with shock be

CHAPTER 0224

CHAPTER 224 Zion “I…I would like to say thank you for everything you've done for Bruno and me over this short period,” she started. "Nia, you're like family now and the way you love my son is nothing compared to anything I've done for you two,” I answered. She and Bruno have played a very big role in being there for Aria and me throughout the rough patch. They provided counseling when we needed it and spent sleepless nights looking after us. Nia played the motherly role for Salt while Aria was still getting over the loss of our children daily. It wasn't easy but they were there for us. Nia was just an innocent soul; she had nothing but love and kindness to offer. Bruno found himself a mate who would be there for him no matter what. Nia made her way out of the office when Derrick walked in with a pale face. That wasn't like him so I asked what had happened when he told me that someone had slapped him. “What do you mean you were slapped?" I asked, looking at him with disbelief.

CHAPTER 0225

CHAPTER 225 Aria “Pa…pa…pa,” I heard Salt saying in the cradle when I stopped folding the clothes and then decided to listen. “Pa…pa,” he said again this time loud and clear. I placed the shirt I was folding on the bed and went to sit beside the cradle. “Pa…pa,” he smiled and I just couldn't stop myself from getting emotional. "It's momma sweetie. Your papa has gone to work. I can't believe you are learning how to speak so fast, good boy,” I said, lifting him into the air. “Good morning," Lora said before she walked in with a tray that had my breakfast on it. “Good morning Lora. You didn't have to get that,” I said as she placed the tray on the table. “Come on my Queen. I still love doing this," she smiled before taking Salt who just couldn't stop smiling at her. “I don't trust the way he's looking at you. Isn't that flirting?" I asked Lora. “Goodness that would be absolutely beautiful. Nothing feels greater than knowing the crowned prince is eyeing me right little one?" Lo

CHAPTER 0226

CHAPTER 226 Aria After everything we've lost, Zion was so scared that he asked the guards to take me back inside while he went to question the woman. “My Queen, are you OK?" Catherine asked as she walked in a few minutes later. “Yes, I'm OK, but how did you know who she was?" I asked since I usually sense danger. “The darkest forces shielded her, and it would be impossible for anyone to sense her, but the goddess is always on your side, so I managed to see everything," she answered. "Will you leave me again?” I looked at her. "No, I'll be here until my time is up. When your second generation comes and we see the beauty in your fruits.” "I'm so glad to have met you. I still remember how heartbroken I was when you died," I said. “And I could feel your pain. You shouldn't get so attached to me, my dear," she said, and I just couldn't help but laugh. “I've found a mother in you, Catherine. There's no way I'm not attached, OK." “I'm the mother of every wolf, but if you mean it
