Aramis hadn’t been able to sit tight ever since it was confirmed that I am indeed pregnant. He had been walking around, assigning tasks to everyone to celebrate this good news. He had sent out gifts and sweets to every pack too.He made me walk hand in hand to the breakfast table where all kinds of dishes were served. The bad thing was that I didn’t even feel like eating anything. But I wanted to be present with him in his happiness.Joce had a very dull reaction to the news. She hadn’t looked away from my face, making me uncomfortable. Morgana had joined the breakfast table wearing a royal blue dress.“Congratulations,” Joce passed Aramis a close-lip smile. It must be hard for her to see me sitting next to my mate while carrying his child too.“Thank you, did you congratulate Phoenix?” Aramis wasn’t a fool, he had his eyes everywhere. He always noticed every little thing but never really spoke up.Now that it was about me, he would not miss a chance to speak up.“Congratulations Phoe
“Imagine what we can do with his powers,” I kept tailing after Aramis after Victor told us about his power.“Yeah! I will organize the best way to get a lot out of his knowledge and power,” Aramis was headed towards his car after he finished the breakfast.I expected him to show a little more enthusiasm, instead, he just acted cold.“Aramis! I think we should give him a chance,” I stopped right when we reached the car. Instead of getting into the car, he stayed outside for a moment and then faced me.“What are you planning?” he interrogated me. I was surprised he had to ask because it was pretty obvious what we can do with his power.“Aramis, we can find the wailing brides,” I have only said till that point that his expressions changed and I realized he didn’t like the idea.“Phoenix! Leave that on me,” he mumbled without a display of any emotion.“Why? I want to be a part of it,” I was slightly upset that he wanted me to stay out of this. He knew how important it was for me to stay c
I told Aramis what the doctor has told me and he did freak out. He had taken days off from work so that he can turn every stone over to find a cure or a way to get me my wolf back.So far, we have only met disappointment.Victor was doing really well, teaching Omegas and attending meetings to suggest ideas for the betterment of the Omegas. I even saw Morgana looking all confident when she heard he had been asked by the Gammas to help their young pups as well.It was a great achievement for anyone and I was proud of Victor. My health had been decreasing rapidly by now, freaking me out along with Aramis too.“I am going out with Victor tonight. He said he can afford to take me to a fancy dinner,” I heard Morgana talking to her mother. It’s been days and honestly speaking, I have noticed Morgana spending time with Victor a lot more now."And you are happy about it?" Joce asked her, carrying a bit of disbelief in her voice."Yeah, why?" Morgana seemed not so sure why her mother didn't lik
We had given a proper burial to Mr. Boris. I had been super depressed after his departure. I remember once telling him that he reminds me of my father.Losing another person was like a blow to my existence. It wasn’t easy for Victor to get over it as well. Mr. Boris was his only family and now he had lost him.“Don’t stress out, things will get better soon.” Aramis was comforting me but was stressed out himself.“We need to find a way to put end to this. The wailing brides had been terrorizing and collecting our loved ones for years now. It is time we free them all and get rid of these malicious creatures,” I was sitting in my bedroom, remembering the flashes of Victor crying and sobbing nonstop.It had been a few days but Victor hadn’t shown any progress. He seemed to have been drowning in depression more and more with every passing day.“We will do all that. But first, we need to make our pack members aware of this whole situation. They need to stay careful, avoid any unnecessary vi
“Which also means, if we open this door, it will start chaos,” It was a sad conclusion for both of us. We desperately wanted to capture the wailing brides, and now that we were afraid of seeing many other creatures from their land free, we couldn’t continue digging for now.“But we cannot just sit here and do nothing,” he argued back when he didn’t get a hint to go forward from me.“I get it. But Victor! We don’t know what else will be inviting when opening the door,” I repeated myself but this time, I didn’t go vague.“They enter our world anyway, we barely saw a monster crawling out of their mansion with them until they want to bring them here,” he had a good point but he was still lacking something.“Exactly. When they open the door, they manage to keep the monsters away but when we will open the door, we don’t know what monsters we will encounter,” I finally detailed it out for him and his shoulders slouching down was a sign that he understood my point.“Victor! Let’s wait till I
"What did she say?" Hassel's lips formed a weak smile, trying to deceive us into thinking he has nothing to worry about."Like how much you love to battle. In fact, I thought about it and for her sake, I decided to give you a chance to live the best of your dream," Aramis pulled me even closer to his chest as he wrapped his arm around my body and rested it on my stomach.I saw Hassel secretly tying his eyes to our closeness and then breaking the stare to Aramis' face."I don't get it. Umm! My love for battle?" Hassel seemed lost but I knew what Aramis had planned for him."Yes! We have these weekly cage battles between any warrior and prisoners. I think I can arrange one for you," Aramis' words knocked the world from under Hassel's feet, it seemed. He couldn't even process what happened for the next minute until Veronica joined us."What is going on in here?" she frowned seeing her mate lost among us."Your mate has expressed a desire to participate in a cage battle tomorrow," I could
I turned over to face her but she was gone now. The only thing in my sight was an open window and darkness outside of it.The wind was swooshing in my ear after her words had blown me away. Once I regained my strength and senses, I booked to the window and shut it down.“No! I don’t belong with anyone but my mate,” shaking my head in hysteria, I mumbled under my breath. I must have imagined it because they had no reason to pay me a visit.I stopped panicking because I reckoned it was starvation causing me hallucinations.The two days have gone by and I have not seen Victor around too much. He had been skipping his job too. The once determined Victor was lost now.Morgana had been trying her best to help him but it appeared as if he had begun to keep things to himself. He would rarely come to the family meetings or have meals with us."I will try coming home soon. I have arranged that cage fight for that asshole," Aramis' eyes were fixated on the mirror until he turned around to watch
Everything got ruined in just those few minutes. The guards didn't listen to me, Victor didn't understand what he was doing was wrong and now I felt responsible."It was not your fault, Phoenix!" Aramis was holding my hand calming me down.It had been days but I hadn't forgiven myself for what happened to Victor. If I had been more available to him and had helped him locate the wailing brides he wouldn’t have taken matters into his hands.“Then whose fault was it? I should have known the pain he was dealing with. He wanted to catch them and I promised to find a way to start looking but then I---,” I was in the process of explaining how I messed up when Aramis spoke up.“Then you fell sick and still attended the meeting with the packs to warn them about the upcoming war and dangers. Phoenix! What else could you do? He had his mate trying to comfort him. I have set my people around him to help him in any way they can with his investigation. The only thing left out was a dead body and he
