Eight Years Later Drax We have started our businesses, each under one corporation with Aidan as the CEO of Valmore Enterprises. The witch cloaks us so we look different to everyone. Only those in our deep circle will see our true faces as well as those who work for us, to the world I go by Drake Valmore, Ty is Tennison Valmore and Aidan is Ares Valmore. Everyone thinks we are brothers, and it is good that way, the thing is, our vampires were brothers in their past lives. The pains we had been getting when we got back from our long sleep, we no longer get, Aidan told me he got them too and we consulted Lexi, who told us she could help. She gave us a potion, and said, "Take this, it is nothing to kill you." So we took it and were told, "You all should be good going forward," we both figured it had something to do with our former mates, but we let it be. Aidan was skeptical about feeling the bond with his former mate as he thought the bond would be broken, but after what happened with

LilyI was in my room when I smelled my daughter before she reached my room and she was upset. I saw the tears in her eyes before she told me what Roman did, "Who was the Alpha?" I said in a shocked tone, she told me it was Alpha Marshall and I gasped in surprise. I told her, "I will handle it," and she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mother," before leaving the room. I couldn't believe Roman would do this, just let the kids find true love, don't do this to them. Alpha Marshall is not the man for my daughter, he is rude and a narcissist, I believe he is tied up in a sex trafficking ring for sure and he won't have access to my daughter, not if I could help it. I will never let my daughter be subjected to a loveless marriage, Sophia was forced because of his stupid rule but he shouldn't do this to Issy and make another mistake, Sophie and his relationship are strained because of it but she still loves and respect her father. I know things turn out better with me and Roman in the end but it

Lily I went into the bathroom after hearing what Alpha Ares said to his Luna, memories started to flash in my head about Aidan and me when we were happy and were about to get married and mated. Our first kiss, our first conversation, our plans for the Kingdom, our first sexual experience with each other. The pain that I felt when he was killed in front of me, they all were, poor Drax and Ty, I didn't want it to be true and I just can't imagine it but there is no other explanation, could it be a coincidence? But three brothers popping up out of nowhere could explain why there was nothing on them until eight years ago. "Omg, the three brothers are them, are they planning to kill us? Is it them?" My mind was in overdrive thinking about all the possible outcomes, what he said to Michelle made me remember what he always says to me in the morning after we kiss, "Regina cords mei" (queen of my heart). How did I not realize this? Did he change his scent? No wonder no one found any informat

Lily It had been two days since the dinner and I was upset, I couldn't believe that Aidan, Ty, and Drax were alive after all these years. It was a miracle and I was excited, but Aidan didn't trust me and I don't blame him, I hid my emotions from Roman so he wouldn't feel the pain I felt when Aidan said those cruel words to me. I know he wants me to hate him, but I'm not going to, Roman had an emergency and had to go on a business trip, something to do with a prison, but I'm not sure. I had my duties as Luna Queen, which kept me busy, I wanted to see Aidan again but he was so angry with me, I needed to give him space, I guess. My wolf Adina was in shock, she whimpered knowing that her true mate was still alive after letting herself give in to Troy's love over the years and I feel the same, how could I betray Aidan like that? As I was going about my day, Lora decided to drop in on me as she was visiting her daughter, who was mated to one of the warriors and lived in our pack lands. "He

Roman After the dinner date, Lily was quiet and had her block up and I couldn't sense her emotions, I never questioned it as she would never cheat on me, but I felt like something was off. "What's the matter, my love?" I asked, Lily smiled at me and said, "I was thinking about where we should celebrate our anniversary." I kissed her and said, "Don't worry about it, I have a lovely surprise for you." She smiled but I knew something was bothering her but I didn't push the issue, she would tell me when she was ready. I trusted Lily over the years, we have a common ground and she wouldn't hide something important from me. When we arrived at the palace, I thought about making love to my sweet Lily, she looked so lovely tonight and I saw how Alpha Ares was admiring the beauty of my mate. I wanted to pull his eyes out but I needed him as an ally, he had the resources I needed, and he had the land I needed for my trade routes for my underground businesses to function. It is more profitable an
