Alpha Aera A Grave Mistake
[Ayla's POV]I fade in and out of consciousness as I wrestle to retake dominance from the darkness.Each time I manage to gain control, I find that I'm inside what looks like a giant metal box that shakes and jolts as if it is moving.I can only guess that this box is attached to a vehicle, and we are heading straight for the capitol, where the elders are sitting prey.'No,' I hiss, knowing that I have to stop this. 'I have to get out.'As the words come forward, I feel tiny awakenings of my abilities deep within my soul.No, this couldn't be happening, not now.I was dangerous without my powers and full strength, but I was deadly when I had them.How was this possible? Was the serum the elders injected me with wearing off at this time?There was no way. They knew that the solar eclipse would happen today and therefore should have planned accordingly. This was something else happening entirely.Fear begins to claw at me as I slowly realize that I could truly hurt the elders in my curr
Alpha Aera A Race Against Time
[Alphonze's POV]"Just a bit..." I murmur, moving my credit card up and down along the lock of my cell while listening out for the click that indicated that the door was being unlocked. "More.""Are you sure?"Benny's voice is full of annoyance as it reaches my ears, and I have half a mind to knock some respect into him, but I know that I don't have the time to do it.Even if I was no longer his alpha, I was still above him, and he would be wise to remember that no matter the circumstances we were under."Mind your attitude," I warn, keeping my focus on the door. "Otherwise, I'll have to teach you a lesson later."A soft chuckle escapes him, but nothing else is said, allowing me to fully focus on the task at hand until finally the lock clicks and the door moves."Got it!" I announce, getting to my feet and beginning to move. "Time to go!"I had to admit that, after eighteen years of being chair bond, I was still getting used to the fact that I could once again move around freely. In t
Alpha Aera Her Struggle
[Ayla’s POV]Fear begins to claw at me with each step that I take, despite everything in me screaming no. Whatever this fucking serum Barren injected me with was, it was powerful, and even with tapping into my strongest abilities, I couldn’t seem to stop.‘Do something,’ I hiss at the darkness, which had seemed to go dormant. ‘Before we both do something we regret.’I’m met with silence, causing my heart to drop as I realize that maybe the darkness was completely subdued due to the return of my abilities.This wasn’t good; I had to do something, but as I begged the universe to help me overcome this obstacle, I was easily led to the front of the temple."It seems they were anticipating our arrival," Barren murmurs, looking around at the many guards who are waiting for us. "But no worries, they’re just a minor hindrance."Letting out a laugh, he makes a bunch of roots explode from the ground that quickly wrap around the guards while I watch in horror and am unable to help.Gasps and yel
Alpha Aera This Isn't You
[Aera’s POV]I clutch the Oh shit bar above my head as Marah takes a turn on two wheels. Dammit, this woman was going to kill us before we even reached our destination. Who the hell gave her a driver's license because I was going to go and knock some fucking sense into them? She was a maniac and was going to cause a damn wreck before we got to Ayla!"Could you stop that?" She snaps, shooting me a glare as I squeeze the bar harder. "My driving isn’t that bad. I’m actually an excellent driver; the instructor I did my test with said so.""That person needs their certification for deciding whether a driver is good or not revoked," I growl. "Could you try to not kill us before we get to the temple?""Are you suggesting I slow down?" She asks, pushing the gas harder so that I’m forced into my seat. "How about you look above you, lover boy? The solar eclipse is almost complete."As she speaks, Marah places a manicured nail against the button that opens the sun roof above us, so I get a full
Alpha Aera Much Stronger Than This
[Ayla's POV]'You're stronger than this. Keep fighting!'Aera's desperate voice echoes in my head as images of us begin to cloud my mind. Most are of me, but they aren't the me that I see when I look into a mirror. Instead, it's this beautiful, confident woman who almost glows with power.Her eyes sparkle brightly with determination, and her whole demeanor exudes strength and determination. She's beautiful, and she glows with so much light that it's damn near blinding. Was this how Aera saw me?'This is the real you,' Aera continues while the images continue to appear. 'You aren't the monster Barren is trying to make you out to be.'Monster… That word is so loud, and it makes my heart squeeze painfully as all the voices from the past begin to echo it again and again.No, I wasn't a monster. I was far from that, and I fought each and every day to make sure that I didn't end up like everyone claimed I would.'So you finally realize?'The voice is gentle, but it resonates within me so de
Alpha Aera Her Choice
[Ayla's POV]All eyes come to rest on me as I work to try to control myself, but something about this scene seems so normal after all the days of stress, fear, and worry that I wouldn't have the chance to witness something like this again."Ayla, are you alright?" Aera asks, giving me a look of concern."Of course she is, idiot," Marah snaps, bouncing toward us. "Everyone is safe and secure in there.""I'm fine," I manage between giggles. "I'm just…."I don't get the chance to finish my sentence before the ground begins to shake and then buck, sending everyone crashing to the side while roots erupt and begin to form a dome around me and Barren."Shit," I hiss, turning my gaze toward Barren to find that he is sitting up and smiling. "You!""Did you really think I would be that easy to defeat?"As he speaks, I can hear the yells of my friends and family from the other side of the dome as they desperately try to get to us, but I fear they won't be able to get through in time."You should
Alpha Aera Beg Her Forgiveness
[Ayla’s POV]I sit alone in a bed, staring at the door in front of me, while the soft beeping of machines fills the silence around me. One had multiple little beeps as it was monitoring the baby's heartbeats, while the slow and steady one was my own.After dealing with the elders, I was rushed into the temple and taken to their medical wing so that Brian and Gwen could do a thorough examination on me and the babies to make sure that everything was fine after the ordeal I went through.Despite my protests, in the end I lost out and found myself bedbound.Sighing, I lean back and close my eyes, thinking maybe I could try to get some sleep, only to find that the noise makes it damn near impossible.Huffing, I snapped them open and turned my attention toward the small monitor that showed the babies heartbeats. I found myself taking comfort in the fact that their hearts beat strongly, as they should.It was the only reassurance I had right now, given the fact that Gwen had to go back to Cr
Alpha Aera His Wish
[Ayla's POV]I stand in front of Crimson Tides Estate while my stomach churns and my heart races. Even though this place had always been my home, I wasn't back here for something pleasant.After mine and Celia's discussion, I made the choice to come home and see the man that haunted my dreams and try to see if I could help him.Of course, I had to wait a few days so that Brian and Gwen could be sure that everything was alright, and when I was released, Aera came to fetch me after I explained to him what I wanted to do."Ready?" He asks now, after a moment too long of standing in place. "Or have you changed your mind?""I haven't," I respond, snapping my gaze to the window of my father's room. "This is something that needs to be done.""And what if he is a hopeless cause?" Aera continues to push. "What do you plan to do then?""I'll figure that out when the time comes," I sigh, beginning to move."Welcome back," Aunt Lennox beams when we enter the estate. "I'm so happy you're alright."
