Novel & Cerita Matriarch In This Life

Once it cleared though, Marcus's reassuring smile gave me the strength I needed to complete the impossibly long walk. I reached the thrones, and Alpha Damarus stepped forward, holding a white cloth. He stared down at where I stood at the base of the few stone steps that led to the platforms the thrones sat on. "Alexandra, daughter of Alpha Mattias, leader of the Moonridge Pack. Today you stand before my son, Alpha Marcus, heir to the Ashclaw legacy, and swear to remain by his side through his reign and beyond it. Do you swear to follow this oath and face the consequence of breaking it."

While her spirit remained intensely anxious for my safety, the health of the ancient matriarch commanded supreme pack priority. During the airborne transport back to the Pierce Compound, Brooke’s intellect continuously weighed the variables of the crisis. “During the grand seasonal eclipse celebration last winter, her internal beast appeared completely radiant and saturated with primal energy. What hidden variable caused her biological matrix to collapse with such extreme velocity?” As Brooke’s mind conjured the image of the warm, ancient matriarch, her chest couldn't prevent a wave of deep sorrow from moving through her system. Although their historical interactions had been relatively brie

Viviana nodded. “Being the Don's wife and being the Matriarch of the Conte family are two different things Viviana. You may have secured the former, but the latter? It takes more than a ring and title as the Don's wife. Anyone can try to stand against you, trying to stop you from being the Matriarch. Once you're qualified to be on, you're on. But before that, expect counters.” Viviana remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

“And she’s already making decisions like she runs the house.” “I live here,” I say. “We both do.” “Living here and ruling here are two different things, dear,” she replies, stepping forward. “Don’t confuse being the wife with being the matriarch.” I rise, voice calm but sharp. “I’m not trying to be the matriarch. I’m trying to live a normal life.” “Normal?” she echoes with a mocking grin. “You think parading outsiders into this home is normal?” “They’re my friends. Not strangers.”

Heads turned toward Elara, then back to Ariana. “My son?” someone whispered. Robert stepped forward, fury flashing. “You mean to replace—” “Replace?” Ariana’s laugh was velvet and venom. “I simply recognize strength where it lives. An heir should be…stable.” Her eyes focused on Elara’s scorched fingertips. “Not… combustible.” Derek chuckled under his breath. “Ice meets fire. Delicious.” Elara’s heart thundered. The goddess stirred, molten and eager. Heat crawled up her arms, begging to ignite.

"I still don't understand." Jada rubs her temples roughly and collapses into a crouch. "My mother is an extremely powerful witch. She's like a thousand years old so she has more experience than even our elders. She disappeared a few years ago, just before Syrra's parents vanished," she mumbles—almost incoherently. "Wait—how do you know it's hers? Do you guys have like a signature or something?" She nods. "Powerful ones do. My mother's magic is cerulean—"

Chapter 98 "She's Brandon's mom, Mother! I'm sure you know her name! Her name is Morgan!" Annie remembered the name because she had been hearing a lot about it from people and she couldn't believe that the Morgan was this rude and stupid. "So it's true! I can't believe that this is the type of woman that would have been your mother-in-law before but unfortunately, I can't accept Such a wicked Mother in-law for my daughter......! Annie paused her speech and turned to look at Morgan whose face was currently fuming in anger as she felt like punching her face.

Her head turns and she looks at me with her sharp copper eyes. “What do you mean my duty as a deity? I want to live as you and the other Gumiho have lived for thousands of years.” Mother opened a door, and the room was much bigger than it seemed on the outside. The walls were lined with books and scrolls and a large mural that I had never seen before was on the wall behind the table.

“Sweetheart, you’re too young to understand this thing, but if you trust me, then I promise you that one day after a couple of years, I will answer this question because situations were complicated back then. All I can assure you is that they always loved you. It’s just the way of showing love is different.” Artin thought about it for a while before nodding his head. “Promise?” “I promise.” “But who is my mother?” “She is the Female Gamma of Uncle Calvin’s pack.” Caroline replied and watched Artin’s expression, which recalled how the female Gamma of his uncle’s pack was showering love on him a few days back, but he pushed her away, thinking of her as a stranger because he had visited his unc
