Aero
Exactly after the couple’s first dance, Elijah met with me in my study. I was already in my executive chair when he entered, showing a half-confused face.
“I know...” he trailed off. “I am surprised with the crescent moon marks Rhea and I have too. Is this what you want to talk about brother?”
“Affirmative,” I answered. “Sit down. This might be a long chat.”
He hesitated for a moment, looking at the chair in front of the desk as if it had a witch spell.
“You know I can’t leave my bride alone in there,” he muttered; his voice roped with worry.
“Me either,” I agreed. “I can’t give Hale an opportunity to spend time with Serena.”
“Well, that’s hardworking of him. I didn’t think he’d still do it af
AeroOld habits die hard and unfortunately for me, getting jealous whenever Serena was around Hale was no exception. We had an unbreakable trust for each other. It was just that my beasts and I were too possessive of her whenever the vampire lord was present.Maybe I was being too tight on myself and maybe I should take Serena’s advice to just relax, and well, I almost did until I heard Serena and Hale’s rich laughter while I was nearing the balcony they were in. This instantly changed my mood.Ugh. Really, old habits die hard.I scowled towards Hale’s way the moment my boots hit the threshold.“I trust that you’re keeping my wife safe, Lord Hale?” I asked.Serena didn’t look surprised when she saw me. In fact, she raised a brow and crossed her arms, clearly expecting my moody reaction t
SerenaThe coach brought us inside a cobblestoned courtyard, directly in front of a large iron-wrought portico. Through the window, I saw the facade of my father’s packhouse and it was impressive. It was obvious that this was a military camp because there were flags of the kingdom above the doorway and along the edge of the rooftops, and on each towering beam hang a golden shield and two crossed swords.“Serena, come,” Aero told me whilst offering a hand for me to hold.Refreshments were served right after we disembarked the coach. Feeling thirsty after all the moans I did, I quickly grabbed the perspiring glass and gulped the sweet and tangy content. Aero did the same and the server—an old woman—proudly smiled, standing a few feet away from us with a clean apron wrapped around her waist.“Your Majesties, it is my pleasu
Chapter 17 – The Alpha King in ActionSerena“Russel has the element of surprise so this is an expected outcome in their first clash,” my father remarked without looking at me.I glanced up at him and saw the seriousness in his eyes. “What do you mean father?” I asked.“One of the reasons why I picked Russel to be the next alpha is because he has this unique ability of teleportation. It’s like the alpha king’s minus the realm hopping and is limited to a few times per day.”“Even so, wow, that’s amazing. I didn’t think some other werewolf could get that kind of ability.” I stared back at the general who stood cautiously at the center of the arena. His focus was on the wreckage, to where Aero took his time laughing—maybe not loudly—but still, I could hear it i
Chapter 18 - Father and Daughter BondAeroGeneral Halcynos remained contemplatively silent after I asked him that question. He had been my father’s beta and had served the kingdom for close to eight hundred years, so I was confident he would have an answer for me.He was there at our wedding. He saw how the marks were created. He was even one of the councils who received my temper when I sought an answer regarding this but since it was Sedsah, my father’s augur, who stepped in and somehow distracted me, I wasn’t able to delve deeper about this issue.Serena sat beside me and waited for her father to speak too. I wrapped my arm around her waist and kept her close.“You mentioned before you came here that you wanted to know more about the crescent moon marks, Your Majesty,” he started with his hands clas
Chapter 19 - Dealing with the TruthAero‘Lady Georgia has it?!’ were the words that escaped from my thoughts.I gripped the gilded armrest to silently express my combined anger and surprise. It was so strong that I created cracks and splinters around it.I couldn’t believe I was clueless this whole time. If she has the mark then this meant Alpha Edmond has it too, but how? And...why? And what does this mean to the kingdom? To me and Serena?Patience wasn’t one of my best assets if I wanted to find the answers stat, so I mind-linked the aforementioned man and asked, ‘Alpha Edmond, may I have a word with you? Preferably now.’‘Your Majesty.’ His attention, from Alpha Russel, landed to me and bowed low. We exchanged gazes, each clearly looking at the ot
Chapter 20 - A Better FutureSerenaLady Georgia was a petite, refined woman. She had a gentle beauty and a kind spirit, and her aura was filled with so much positivity I could feel it radiating through me. She reminded me a lot about my adopted mother who loved to cook and also reminded me about Jessica who prefers little to no make-up and just a simple ponytail to tie her hair.When I found her busily washing vegetables on the sink, she invited me to help without hesitation. I was giddy to join her that instant since I loved cooking. I told her about the magic food I ate in Aero’s manor when I first arrived on Phanteon. She laughed about it knowing it was frozen food and not a freshly cooked meal.She gave me her secrets on how to make the ingredients taste better. She also expressed her happiness about me and Aero’s unbreakable bond. Said that it was i
Chapter 21 - Playing CupidSerena“Welcome, Alpha King Aero and Luna Queen Serena!”Alpha Aaron’s beta proclaimed before we waltzed inside the function hall. I expected a lot from the Slandail Pack and oh yes, it delivered.First, the packhouse. It was almost made out entirely of glass: see-through from the inside but tinted from the outside so the privacy of the occupants was still maintained.Second, the interior design of the place. Like the treehouse, the packhouse was reminiscent of the modern designs on Earth and I couldn’t help but think if they indeed took some inspiration from there. Instead of crystal chandeliers, there hang geometric designs of lighting and instead of arched ceilings, the house used exposed beams. Furniture was more of a simpler design and the floor was made of dark wood panels.
Chapter 22 - Playing Fae GodmotherSerenaApart from the woman-hating, Aero and Alpha Aaron were the same—they were preciously innocent when it came to their own feelings. I couldn’t determine whether this was an advantage or a disadvantage, but either way, I was hell-bent on helping the latter, become his eager fae godmother, and supporting the ship of their metaphorical readers.Alpha Aaron was already a looker so there was no issue on the ‘physical asset’ department. His attitude seemed formal too—or at least when I was around—so there was no issue in that. He wouldn’t be cussing his woman like Aero did to me at first.Last and the most important of all was the fact that the other party had already fallen in love with him. I knew my work would be easy just by this. I only needed to give Alpha Aaron a slight push to start t
