Everybody has gone to bed but I stayed awake with Aramis, who was busy doing a video meeting with the Alpha King Silas discussing some issues. I believe the North and South were the Wailing Brides' priority. Alpha King Silas has once taken care of the draugrs because they started to come for the living ones after they claimed to be taking care of the dead bodies.I was getting ready for my meeting with Hassel. He had messaged me to meet me after everyone have fallen asleep. I kind of expected it after the act I played out earlier.It felt wrong to wear a red silk nighty for Hassel but it had to be done. I know Aramis was a little discomfort. I have caught him staring at me through his peripheral vision but then would swiftly turn his face away from mine at the same time.“I am headed out,” now that I was ready to have a little meet-up with Hassel, I felt like I was wrong for it. I don’t know how Aramis was able to tolerate and allow me for doing it because it could go in million ways.
"I have asked for Madonna lilies, not a golden-rayed lily," Aramis had been wandering around the mansion assisting the decorations.The gender reveal party was organized by him and he had been taking care of everything without my help. He had specifically advised me not to get out of the bed and letting him handle it all. After getting bored in the room, I finally got out of bed and reached for the foyer. The entire mansion was beautifully decorated with blue and pink roses. The main venue was the Royal garden where a huge box was placed right in the middle.The box was prepared by the Salutary, Dr. Hannah! It was Aramis' idea so that we too get surprised along with the guests. I watched him walk behind the party planner like a stubborn toddler and boss everybody around."You must be happy living a life that my daughter was entitled to have," I knew Joce would have something to say in order to ruin my mood.I turned to her and found her standing alone this time. Morgana was usually st
There was a different kind of happiness filling my heart when I stood with my mate and held the ribbon to open the big box and reveal my baby's gender.Thankfully, nothing really mood decaying happened after Morgana went back to her room. Now we were in the royal garden and all set to reveal our baby's gender. My heart was thumping with curiosity, I bet Aramis felt the same way.All the Alphas and the royal families of the packs have arrived to celebrate this moment with us. After seeing all the eyes set on the box, I knew it was time. My heartbeat was rapid and my face glowing as I pulled the ribbon and a mixture of blue and pink balloons ran up the sky.I couldn't hear anything else after the cheers deafened us."We are having twins?" Aramis whispered in my ear but didn't wait for me to even utter a word back and hugged me tightly. I was honestly never been that happy before. I had a huge smile covered on my lips watching him being all elated and getting congratulated by everyone. I
"I don't want another mom, I already have the best one," Ezekiel was persistent even when she went on to offer him things.Something told me Morgana was planning more than just persuading the kid his mother is not a good mother.I came out to the sight and she straightened her back looking annoyed with me."What's going on here?" I asked, standing behind the kid."We were having a talk, weren't we?" she faked a smile to Ezekiel even when it was clear he didn't want to be around her."Is that so? Does talking bad about his mother seems like a good thing to you?" I rested my hands on the kid's shoulder to let her know I'm standing right behind him and watching her try to manipulate him against his mother.I had all kinds of sympathy for her but the things she had been doing recently were not sitting well with me."Ezekiel! Why don't you go look for your mom?" I broke the awkwardness in the air and sent the kid away before I have a serious conversation with Morgana. The kid nodded and sp
“She is Layla Paine! She is going to be your personal nurse from now on,” Dr. Hannah had come by for my daily checkup and introduced an Omega she-wolf to me. The girl was 20 years old and very attractive. Apart from her beautiful long red hair and blue eyes, her widely presented smile was the feature that grabbed the most of my attention.She seemed very pleasant and happy to help me.“Hi,” she greeted, mending the dark blue dress that she has to wear every day when attending to me. This was the uniform she has to follow just like the other workers at the packhouse mansion.“Nice to meet you, Layla,” I smiled at her but couldn’t get up to greet her. I was in very bad shape now; tired and exhausted all the time. My health has gone down drastically. I would barely leave my room or wander around.The most I would do whenever I felt bored was to wander to the balcony and stay there for a few hours before returning to bed again.“I will see you in a few days. Don’t worry, everything will b
“The Alpha King did such an amazing job last night,” Layla hadn’t stopped talking about the whole proposal from last night. She saw it too when all the pack members gathered under the packhouse.“I know, I love him so much for cheering me up every day,” I smiled recalling how beautiful he made me feel with his speech.“He loves you a lot. I have never seen or heard him being so full of emotions,” she commented while changing the sheets.Every time I heard anybody say I changed him into a happy man, I felt proud of myself. A little knock on the door revealed Morgana and Joce.I was expecting them to arrive sometime but not so soon. Layla stopped talking and focused on the sheets.The way they scanned the room and then me was quite honestly a mean stare. They were just trying to see how much of I have left in me.“We saw the whole thing last night,” Joce stepped ahead to start the conversation, “Are you really going to do that?” her question brought a frown to my forehead.“Excuse me?”
There was an awkward silence that took over the surrounding until Aramis turned his face away from her and watched me in the eye from afar.The way Layla too paused and then nervously rubbed her palms together made me feel weird.My breathing has gone down a little seeing them go silent like that. She was wearing black pj’s nothing too revealing or sexy yet she managed to get a gasp out of him. “You called me here, my lord?” she was the first one to break the awkward silence. Her fingers were nervously fidgeting and her throat led gulps down.Either they were acting strange or I was noticing too many of the details.Instead of yelling at her or scolding her like he had been aiming to do, he stood with his face turned to the other side.“It’s okay Layla, you can go back to your room. It was just a misunderstanding,” I voiced when Aramis didn’t say anything.His sudden silence after seeing her had made me uncomfortable.What was it that left him speechless? Was it because she was gorge
I couldn’t be sure if it was just my bad luck or if the Moon Goddess played a nasty game with me, but it was shocking. Either way, I had my world snatched away from under my feet.It was something I didn’t expect, maybe I was clinging on too hard to my life that I forgot all about reality?They were in his office together and talking secretly.“I don’t understand,” Layla was scared, it seemed. She was only murmuring and sticking to the side while Aramis was vocal about his feelings.He was huffing and panting angrily while making her shiver in her skin. I was able to watch them but the aura was so intense in the room that Aramis couldn’t even feel my presence.“You don’t understand?” he stopped pacing right when he was in front of her and yelled in her face, “You are my fucking nightmare, what do you not understand about it?” he was showing extreme anger and frustration.“But I didn’t do anything. It was the Moon Goddess’ idea,” Layla rubbed her palms together nervously and stole eyes
