Semua Bab Forsaken With His Pup: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Aria’s POVMy children…Every time I breathed in, the scent of blood filled my lungs and made my stomach churn. It did nothing to ease the growing anxiety building in my chest.“I will never bow down to someone like you!” I growled, my snarl carrying all the way to her.“Don’t you dare touch them,” I spat, “You have no right to even lay a finger on them!”Olivia didn’t flinch. Instead, she tightened her grip on the twins, a cruel smile pulling at her lips. She looked at me like I was something pathetic she’d found on the bottom of her shoe.“Oh? You want me to let go of them?” she asked, her voice mocking and light.“Even though you’re such a terrible mother? You left them behind. You left them unprotected, Aria! You knew the enemies were out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And yet, here we are!”She took a step toward me, her eyes cold.“You don’t deserve to be called a mother at all. Honestly? You just deserve to die.”We began to circle each

Aria’s POVI was paralyzed for a second too long.The Blood Moon, it was backI was too late… my babies are in danger.“Face it, Aria,” Olivia spat.Taking advantage of my momentary shock, she shoved me back with strength. I stumbled, my paws slipping against the stone floor.“You can’t do anything to stop this.”She leveled her heavy, ornate staff at my chest.The crystal at the top began to hum with a dark, suffocating energy. Her eyes were wide and manic, fueled by hatred.“Most probably, your twins are dead right now,” she sneered, her voice dripping with venom.“Think of it as a mercy. They won’t have to grow up in the world I’m about to build!”A single, hot tear escaped my eye and tracked down my cheek. The thought of my babies—my innocent, helpless twins—being gone sent a physical pain through my chest.But then, the grief turned into something else.I felt a low growl start deep in my diaphragm. My senses suddenly sharpened to a terrifying degree. I could smell the ozone in t

Aria’s POVMy entire body went numb.It was as if the strength was being drained out of me, leaving me hollow.Through the haze of my blurred vision, his face was the last thing I saw before he vanished.I tried to reach out, to call his name.“A-A…Aiden…”But my voice died in my throat.Around me, the witches were now screaming in pure, unadulterated terror.The air grew colder than I had ever felt in my life. The ritual had backfired in the most horrific way possible.“The ancestors,” someone shrieked, their voice cracking with fear.“They’ve come! They’re going to destroy us all!”I watched, frozen, as the sky seemed to rip open.High above, the red moon hung like a bleeding eye, and beneath it, a massive whirlpool of dark energy began to churn.It triggered something ancient and hungry.Then, out of the center of that swirling void, a figure emerged.It was massive—a towering, shadowy silhouette that didn’t look human or wolf. It was something else entirely.I watched in horror as

Kaelen’s POVIt had been weeks since the war with Olivia ended, but the silence in the pack felt heavier than the battles ever did.Ever since, Aria hadn’t been herself.It was killing me to see her like this. I did everything I could. I made sure she ate, even when I had to practically put the spoon in her hand.I made sure she was warm. I handled the pack’s business so she wouldn’t have to hear the word “war” ever again.But no matter how much I protected her body, I couldn’t seem to reach her heart.I found her on the balcony, staring out at the horizon where the sun was just starting to dip.She was holding the twins, cradling them against her chest.The sight of her like that—so fragile and yet so fiercely protective—made my chest ache.I walked up behind her, moving slowly so I wouldn’t startle her.I reached out and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her back against my chest. I wanted her to feel my heartbeat, to know that someone was still alive and breathing and here

Aria’s POVHe smirked, “You’re making me darn crazy…”He suddenly massaged my breast, knocking the breath out of my lungs.I hadn’t expected him to move that fast. One moment we were sharing a quiet, emotional confession, and the next, the sheer mass of him was pinning me into the soft fabric of the sofa.“Kaelen, what the—” I started, my hands instinctively coming up to his chest to push him back.It wasn’t that I didn’t want him, but the sudden change in energy was like a physical jolt to my system.He didn’t give me a chance to finish. He didn’t let me push him an inch. Instead, he leaned down and captured my lips with a kiss that felt like it had been building up for an eternity.It wasn’t a gentle kiss. It was hungry. It was the kind of kiss that told me exactly how much he had been holding back while he was playing the role of the patient, humble partner.He was lavishing my lips, tasting me with a desperation that made my head spin. My hands, which had been meant to push him aw
