“I am warning you, Phoenix Hart! Don’t say those things again,” he warned me while standing just a foot away from my face.“So that you can do whatever fuc*ked up things you want to do?” I inquired, looking straight into his eyes.“Phoenix! Get the f**k out before I lose my control,” he closed his eyes and squirmed in anger, cocking his face to the side to avoid looking at me and getting angrier.“Not before you answer me. What are you planning to do with that naïve girl?” as I asked him again, he grabbed my arm and started dragging me towards the exit.“Let go of me,” I freed myself and snapped at him, “You told her that you are her mate?” I shouted, bringing my eyebrows together to express my anger towards him.“I did what?” he looked completely lost at this point, “Did you have one of those nightmares where you thought you are a warrior and the world is under your feet and then you woke up thinking it is all true and it really happened?” he showed the mentality of a child when argu

After the wailing brides had left, I ordered the guards to take the dead bodies to the wailing river. I even find out that the Alpha King was being informed about the whole incident and he was returning. He even warned the guards from leaving the bodies at the wailing river but I made them do it anyway.I know they were afraid enough of the thought of the wailing brides returning with another mess and leaving the bodies for them to collect but now they were frightened of The Alpha king, who will get very angry when he will find out that they didn’t listen to him.I was in the living room with Morgana and Joce, waiting for the arrival of the Alpha King. The instant his car was parked, he rushed out and ran inside the living room.I had my face all messed up with a black eye and a busted lip. I couldn’t even heal and blamed it on the tiny amount of the wolfbane they inject into me every morning.He stopped right in front of us, probably acknowledging how much damage those prisoners have

It had been a few days and every night, Aramis had sent the medicine by the hands of his guards repeatedly. I didn’t take it, I wanted my body to get used to healing itself like a normal flesh and bone creature.The wounds not being able to heal had raised eyebrows at me, but it was fine. I know they cannot kick me out for not having a wolf, I am not here for them. I was brought to this mansion for my mate.I was in the kitchen, washing the cup I had drank coffee from when Joce and Morgana marched inside.“Your brother found a new mate,” Joce was the one who went ahead to give me this news.“Markus?” I asked, forcing the pain I feel whenever I hear his name inside me to not show.“Yes,” she smirked, I bet she was waiting for me to show a reaction or probably wanted to see the tears be born in my eyes. This same brother wrote a rejection letter to Tanner along with the others because he was dying to get justice for his mate and now he had moved on from her in literally a month?“Oh gre

“Phoenix! You are not feeling a mate bond with him. In fact, you can’t even feel it anymore but I do,” he said, and then he suddenly let me go after he realized what he was saying, “and I am not saying I am mesmerized by it. I am just letting you know that he is dead and you talking about him, bringing him up like he is alive is hurting us,” he tried explaining why he was so focused on who was whose mate and who was feeling the mate bond but it didn’t make sense.“Then I am alone again?” I asked through quivering lips and a frowning forehead.“How did your wolf die?” he asked me a question instead, “Why didn’t you tell us before?” he added.“I am not answering you. Because I have to mourn the death of my mate now,” I said with a straight face. I just found out that my mate is dead and he wants to gossip with me?“Phoenix! Get a hold of yourself,” he growled while I walked past him and opened the door to leave. To stop me from leaving, he grasped my wrist and pushed me back until I lan

"What did you say?" Joce was able to get herself together and ask him after his claim had shocked them into silence."We have felt the mate bond way before I brought her here. So, to help you not worry anymore, it's not inappropriate to have my mate in my bedroom," he stated without any shame. I didn’t get what happened to him, how did he go from hating me to forcibly making me stay in his room and also telling others that I am his mate."Mor--" Joce watched Morgana’s face who let out a whimper and ran out of the room after hearing that I am Aramis’ mate, "But what is the people going to say? They will point fingers at you for accepting your brother's killer as your mate," she tried to tell him that he needs to think again but he looked pretty stubborn about it."Did you not hear me before? She didn’t kill him and besides, I would love to see who can point a finger at me and gets to live," he said and made direct eye contact with me. Now that this was out in the open, I didn’t feel li
