Alpha Aera Grant His Wish
[Ayla's POV]The next day, I sit in the passenger seat of Aera's car, staring at Crimsone Tides Estate while fighting the urge to run away. When I entered that building, I'd be making the toughest decision of my life, and I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready.Beside me, Aera remains silent while holding my hand, so that soothing warmth radiates through me, but it doesn't do a thing to calm my nerves."We can go back," he offers, breaking the silence that has settled around us. "You don't have to do this so soon; you can...""No," I sigh, giving him a small smile. "This needs to be done. You didn't see him there. He's suffering, and despite making some ridiculous choices due to being tricked by my mother, he doesn't deserve to live like that."After much deliberation, I decided to grant my father's wish and put him out of his misery.To live your life trapped by the curse was no way to live, and as his daughter, I had an obligation to grant his request."Come on," I continue, gently pu
Alpha Aera I Promise You
[Aera's POV]Soft music drifts toward me as I stand to the side of the large ballroom, waiting for my date to arrive.Despite all the chaos that had been happening in our world, Silas and Alphonze insisted that we have a small, intimate gathering for the full moon as a way to relax and unwind after all the headache of cleaning up Barren's mess.That's why I was forced into an uncomfortable black tux with a purple vest beneath it and a white button-up beneath that and made to wait while Ayla was dolled up by Isabella and Celia."You look like someone killed your puppy," Alphonze chuckles, coming over to join me. "Try to loosen up, will ya?"As he speaks, I take him in while still thinking that this is some type of alternate universe.Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that my brother would be returned to the man he was before his accident, but here he was, standing in front of me, dressed in a white button-down with the sleeves pulled up so his strong, lean muscles could
Alpha Aera BONUS CHAPTER 1: A Second Chance
[Alphonze’s POV]I stand to the side, watching as everyone present for the evening enjoys themselves, laughing, dancing, and being merry. It had been a while since I had attended something like this, so it was taking a bit to get used to it again.The last time I came to a full moon ball was when I found Gloria. It was the day my whole life changed for the better and then for the worst.Immediately, memories of that day began to come crashing into me, from the falling of autumn leaves to the sounds of crickets that chirped around us. I was only twenty-one then and forced to attend the ball, so I found somewhere to hide to avoid being bothered until it was time to leave.Back then, I hated social events and only wanted to focus on my alpha duties, as I had just taken over for my father.After having my heart ripped out of my chest by Hana, I didn’t want a damn thing to do with things like love and mates. That was another reason I didn’t want to be at this damned ball: I risked finding
Alpha Aera BONUS CHAPTER 2: Take A Long Trip
[Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything else. I was already horrible at social events due to being afraid of the judgmental eyes of others, especially when they compared me to my perfect twin sister. So to suddenly be alone with a man twice my age and handsome as hell, of course, I would feel weird. "S-sorry," I stammer, deciding that the only correct way to handle this was to run as quickly as I could. "I should…" "Wait," Alphonze hisses, holding up an arm as I attempt to sneak past him. "Just… wait a second." Frowning, I try to remain calm and not shove his arm away. As the heir of an alpha, I was strong, and my strength would easily be on par with Alphonze's, especially since he just regained his strength and power thanks to
Alpha Aera BONUS CHAPTER 3: Til Goodbye
[Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean forward and nip at her ear, earning myself a small whimper and a shiver of delight."Sorry, you’re just really tense," I chuckle, lightening my massage.Since the triplets were due any day now, the doctor suggested that I help Ayla relax however I could, and since she requested a massage, I was more than willing to oblige. This was the least that I could do, given what she was about to go through. I knew childbirth was hard with just one child, but I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like with three."Why’d you stop?"Cursing, I look down to find Ayla’s big green eyes staring up at me, but I barely register them as I take in her huge belly.Smiling, I let my hands slide down her shoulders
Alpha Aera Her Savior
Two Years Earlier[Ayla’s POV]Darkness swirls around me; it makes my chest tight, and my lungs seem to deflate with each push it gives. It’s suffocating and painful all at the same time, and despite anything I do to try to stop it, it just continues to push."It hurts," I whimper, pulling my knees tightly against myself while I rock back and forth. "It hurts so much."Desperately trying to keep the tears at bay that want to escape, I bury my head in my arms and squeeze my eyes shut."It will disappear soon," I murmur, remembering all the other times it attempted to break free. "I just have to keep fighting, like Uncle Silas said."This was nothing new for me. Since I shifted for the first time at the age of eight, the darkness began to surface. It was a curse that was given to me thanks to my bloodline. Only a few people in my family managed to overcome the darkness, but most ended up succumbing to it."It will disappear soon," I repeat. "I won’t be like him. I won’t."As the words l
Alpha Aera Two Years Later
[Ayla’s POV]I pretend to sleep, listening carefully as Aera sneaks around looking for his clothes. The sounds of him getting dressed drift around me, along with the scent of the cigarette he had just smoked, while I wait until the moment I can stop my act."Thanks for the fun," he murmurs once he is finished dressing. "Hopefully, we never cross paths again."No such luck, I think to myself. Maybe if we had just fucked for funsies, I would leave him alone, but since he did it because of a bet, there was no way I was going to let him get away with it. I was going to haunt that bastard's life until I was all he could think of, and then I would crush him like a fucking bug.Fighting the smile that wanted to spread, I wait until the sound of Aera moving around downstairs reached my ears before finally opening my eyes and sitting up.Sighing, I take in his lingering scent as it hangs around me and decide that I need a shower.Once I finish, I throw on some sweats and a black tank top, then
Alpha Aera His Name
[Ayla’s POV]I ignore Aera’s protests as I begin to move, rushing out of the kitchen and then up one flight of stairs to another until I find myself standing in front of Celia’s room.Sucking in a breath, I barge in and stop dead in my tracks as a wave of power slams into me.Cursing, I take in Celia’s hunched-over form and the circle of flames that surrounds it."Celia!" I gasp, attempting to take a step forward but stopping as more power hits me. "Celia, you have to stop!"Since turning sixteen, Celia and Isbalella had developed elemental abilities that were passed down to them through Aunt Lennox’s bloodline. However, since no one knew much about that side of their lineage, it took a bit to learn to control them.Usually, the twins had their abilities under control, but when their emotions took over, things like this tended to happen, especially when it came to Celia."Stay away," Celia growls, fixing her red gaze on me. "I don't want to see you!"Didn't want to see me? Christ, was
