LIZBETHWhy was Aurora back to the pack? And with a child? It was so obvious that Ralph was the father of the boy because he looked so much like him. How was that even possible? I made sure he never got the opportunity to get intimate with her. Plus they hadn’t been together for years. Why was she suddenly back from wherever she was before? She was the reason everything had turned upside down, with almost no repair.First, she took my place and turned Ralph against me. My spell was detected and because of the love Ralph had for me, he didn’t punish me too much. Everything was fine!I was happy. I was almost close to becoming Ralph’s wife and the pack’s Luna. Everything was going smoothly, I was slowly getting Ralph to notice me again until she decided to come by! She ruined it all by arriving with her son.The last time, I threatened to kill her if she dared come close to Ralph and she ended up getting wounded in the process. I felt relieved, but that wall of relief was shattered when
RALPHI was relieved and happy to see my mate and son alive. I thought I had lost them, especially when I sensed Lizbeth’s happiness. That woman’s behavior and what she can do are already known to me.I doubted she didn’t have anything to do with Aurora and my son almost being found. She had always wanted to get rid of them and I let her go every single time. Not because I was weak or because I loved her; I was simply giving her more chances as I'm aware I'm to be blamed for her turning out this way, but each time she uses these chances for evil again.“Are you okay?” I asked. My question was definitely directed to Aurora, who was trailing behind me with Jasper in her hands.That death call, it was very close. They could have been dead or apprehended by now if I had wasted another minute before getting them out of that place.Those people, they are devilish. They don’t care; they will do anything to have the blue blood in their hands. I have lost some of my pack members and friends ju
AURORAI kept watching Ralph as he led us through the passage. I couldn’t ignore my shaky body. Fear radiated all over me that I felt like I was struggling to breathe. What was that? Did we just escape death? I didn’t want to think about what those people would have done to my little boy.It was crystal clear that it was me they wanted. I was almost tempted to surrender. I had planned it. That moment when I held the knife forward, I told myself that if I couldn’t handle them, which was not entirely impossible, I would just surrender for my son’s safety.But surrendering was still not an option. What will happen to my son after that? What will happen to my Jasper? He didn’t know that something was going wrong or that something bad was going to happen.Just by the little act of everything that has happened, from the gunshots to us being pushed into the dungeon, he would have caught a hang of it if we were in trouble.Jasper was smart and challenging for a kid like him. How could he be p
AURORA“Mummy, I can’t seem to fix this.” Jasper’s voice resonated, cutting our eye contact. I inwardly thanked him for coming in at the right time. The mate bond was messing around. That stupid sensation was ignited by it.I chuckled. Jasper was on a big towel which was dragging alongside him. There was no small towel anywhere in the room so I guess he had no choice than to use the big one.“I told you to relax in the bathing tub that I was coming to you.” I reprimanded him even though I appreciated what he did deep down. Who knows what would have happened if he didn’t butt in quickly?“I was already getting cold so I just stepped out of it. I didn’t know what to wear.” He explained and I took him by the hand, leading him back to the room.I opened the wardrobe that was there, trying to look for some small clothes that Jasper could wear. At last, I found some small shorts and a big singlet. He would have to wear it like that, there was no option.After I dressed him up and rubbed his
RALPH “Mummy, daddy should join us at every meal. I see no reason why he shouldn’t,” Jasper supported me.It was a surprise. Whenever Aurora tried to shun me away, Jasper would look for a way to bring us back together. Should I say this time was a good one for me? Was this a sign that we could be together again?Jasper is my son and looks exactly like me. As assuring as it sounded, it was still surprising to me. How exactly can Jasper solve this? The rift between Aurora and me?I wouldn’t deny that I have missed Aurora, so much that I couldn’t even imagine us eating together at the same dining table.It was one of my dreams to be so close to her and that dream came to pass today. The dream didn’t only come to fulfillment, it also gave me a little hope.Aurora is a stubborn woman, she is my stubborn mate and I accepted her that way before Lizbeth put me under her spell. Sometimes, I wonder why I couldn’t fight the power of that spell. Don’t they say love conquers all? Why couldn’t my
RALPH“There is still space I can sleep in. The bed is wide enough and I’ll sleep beside Jasper, not beside you,” I replied calmly.She sat up with Jasper’s head still resting on her chest. “That’s exactly the problem. I don’t want you to sleep with my son or me, don’t you get it? The couch is wide enough for you to sleep in too. If you feel it’s not convenient, you can use the floor,” she said in a harsh tone.I sighed and was about to leave, to sleep somewhere else. “Can you guys stop shouting? You keep waking me from my peaceful sleep,” Jasper murmured to us.“I’m sorry, baby boy —“ Aurora began to rub his hair and back to help him fall asleep again.Jasper sat up sleepily, looking between us. “Why are you arguing? The bed is wide enough and besides, I will feel very safe sleeping beside my parents. Right, mummy?” He said.Aurora eyed me. “Fine, baby. Go back to sleep now,” she muttered.Jasper slept back on the bed, positioning himself in the middle while pulling me closer. Just l
RALPH“What is wrong, dad?” Jasper asked, and I almost flinched. Who knew he was already awake and looking at me? This matter cannot be explained. Should I start talking about what Seraphina had told me? A mate fusion that would save Aurora and my pack? She didn’t explain anything. She just expected me to understand whatever she meant right away.That was separate. Or should I start talking about the rage and anger of my pack members? Should I talk about why they were angry at me, or how they want to make Adrian the Alpha?“Come here, buddy,” I motioned at him.Jasper climbed out of the bed quickly and walked up to me. I carried him, allowing him to rest his whole body on me. I dropped him on my thighs, which were already raised up to aid his weight.“Why are you awake so early?” I asked, trying to deviate from the initial topic he was asking about.“I have slept for more than nine hours already. It’s enough and I’ve got some more strength now,” Jasper answered.For a little boy like
ADRIAN I stepped outside after I was led out by some guards to the pack ground. Everywhere and everything was a mess. There were dead people, soldiers, and pack members all over the place.The enemies, their troupes, the empire elders were already gone. They couldn’t get what they came for, but I know they would probably attack again very soon just to get what they always wanted.Aurora was the problem. Maybe that was why my spirit never aligned with her, maybe that was why I hated and detested her. She was trouble on her own, and wherever she stepped, there would be trouble too.The pack was now in ruins because of her. If she had never come back, if Ralph had never gone to her father’s pack to save her, all of this wouldn’t have happened.I hated the fact that Ralph allowed this to happen. This pack was very peaceful, it was a silent and flourishing one. We had no cases or complications that would require us to go to war or for some people to come to attack us.But Aurora being blu
Aurora I watched the faces of the crowd go pale as they saw her head drop to a side and everywhere erupted in chaos as someone shouted. "A dead Alpha!" People stood to leave in a rush knowing the meaning of the very clear statement yet I watched closely. I knew they would come for her.The chaos and noise woke her from her slumber.It took her a while to adjust her eyes to the light but she eventually did and looked around frantically. I had let her sit freely without binding her to the chair so she could lead me to my target. 'Where is he?' I was in her head not as a mind link but as a torment perks of being the blue blood leader actually, I could invade their heads and get them to do my bidding but I rarely used my powers out of courtesy. This was one of the rare occasions. She held her head as if to silence my voice and jumped to her feet. On seeing this most people paused seeing she was alive."She's alive!" Cheers erupted so the ceremony could continue. "Please mount the podi
AuroraHe refused to tell me his name but I wasn’t interested in it, I was more interested in how he was able to numb his scent. "I don't know you, you have the wrong person." He said getting down from the bed to leave."Don't force me to get the information from you because I can and I bet you already know who I am." I stopped him."Just leave me the fuck alone. I said I'm not who you think I am."He was getting agitated, maybe he thought I was pulling his legs and trying to frame him like they had done his mum before he suddenly went missing. "Liar." I lifted his shirt to reveal the mark of my mother's bloodline .I had the same matk in the same spot."Do you still have anything to say for yourself?" I asked when he didn't deny further."What do you want from me? My past is buried." He looked sad and lost. I threw my hand around him and hugged him.He was much older than me but he had suffered a lot and I heard the stories growing up and only got to spend a few years with him durin
AuroraI had less than twenty four hours to either get it right or get it wrong, I realized my heart wasn't beating irregularly because I knew I was in full control yet still I wasn't ready for the worst to come."What are you going to do with her?" Connie asked me as she and Lyon watched the unconscious Zendaya lie in state."Wait, I'll wait for her to come around and snitch on us." I said actually meaning it.I needed her to regain consciousness and call for back up. I was going to end it all where it began. "Then?" Lyon was quite curious."Then the party begins." I told them"Alright now you're beginning to sound exactly as the Alpha would and that's wierd as fuck." Lyon cringed and I laughed but my heart was sad, I hoped the news got to him as well and he made an effort to come see for himself. "Do you think he'll come?" I asked none of them in particular. "I can't say for sure that the news will get to him given that he is not in his pack." Lyon shrugged. He was right, Ralph w
*Ralph*"I am least interested, my response is not changing. His nose flared and his breathing became labored. He looked different and I didn't push my luck since I was unaware of his abilities and dis.What had he done to himself?He had created a monster of himself with no remorse, he had definitely given more to his wolf side with the way he behaved animalistically on impulse. He was also cautious not to start the war first and I suspected that he still wasn't confident enough in his fortification. No matter the elements including magic, an Alpha remained an Alpha with the blessings of the goddess and several different other gifts. I needed to find Aurora and rescue Lyon, those were the most important things to me at the time. I returned with Kristen to where Brian held up with the rest after getting Annora to safety and I realized why Adrian was playing safe,He was already quite outnumbered seeing that we had two Alphas on our side.Completely exhausted I tried to communicate wi
AuroraIt took a while, lots of effort and all what not to get things out of Zendaya and surprisingly she had still not given me the answers I wanted.She had only given a silly condition for a bargain and I thought it quite fair."Just kill me because my tongue swore an oat not to disclose that information so I wont." She had boldly said that when I plucked her tooth one after the other with a plier and got my alibi to pull out her nails one after the other.A beautiful feel of satisfaction I got watching her writhe in pain but it wasn't exactly enough for me.Seeing the lifeless body of father had definitely brought a chill to my spine and blood, I had become cold hearted towards the parties involved and all I wanted to know was who was in charge.After much operations, Zendaya had offered to take us to the location. "Do you think we can trust her?" Connie asked me when I told her we were going to return to ny dad's pack and recover the seat of power since it was still vacant. Conn
RalphIt was like a movie where you watched lovers tear at each other's throats but what did I care?Adrian laid his bed and he was going to lie in it. Hopefully he was going to rest in peace with his father.I watched the tournament and observed Adrian's strength and weaknesses. He healed very fast, his speed was primal too and his attacks very accurate.Definitely, something had happened to him and I could see that he wasn't even fighting Kylie, he was just defending himself and pushing her away so he didn't hurt her until she found the dagger again."Good girl," I muttered as I saw her hand swing very fast before he could notice to stab him from the back as he laid on her trying to subdue her with his huge frame and weight.Like I said, his speed had greatly improved and in a split second, he rolled off her when he finally saw the dagger.I saw the look of shock on Kylie's face when his weight was lifted off her but she was already in full motion and she couldn't stop herself."Kyl
Adrian"I'm sorry." Kylie mouthed.I saw everything I stood for and fought for, fall to the ground but I couldn't rush in and pull out the stake to start treatment for him.It was a bloody scene, my Dad was still not close enough for me to trespass. I felt my head become light."Kylie why?" I felt a hand squeeze my heart tight that she of all people would betray me this much."Oh common, he's a prisoner charged with treason with a death penalty hanging over his head all this while. He was bound to die sooner or later." Ralph said smiling like the devil himself. I didn't see it coming. I knew had a devil side to him.Ralph had raised my hopes very high and taken me to a vulnerable state only to crash me at lightning speed with the worse thunder bolt; my mate.If it was someone else then I would have wasted no time to rip the person into two with the powers I had attained."I guess you can commend me for being a good Alpha now not so?" He paused and grinned like a child. "I have served
AdrianThe shock I received ran through to my bone marrow when my eyes fell on my mate Kylie, what was she doing here?I had picked her scent first but Ralph's blow had destabilized me in my distracted state and I felt the impact move me meters away but I was least bothered about that."Kylie," I called her name but she stood in her spot at his side. What a dirty game Ralph was playing, I knew him as a principled man and the last thing I expected was for him to drag my innocent mate into all of this."Addy, stop all of this please," she had tears in her eyes as Kristen held her hands to the back not letting her run into my longing arms."Baby I..." I lost the words, I could feel the bond pulling me to her, dampening all my vigor and lust for revenge Damn the goddess for such strong bonds of love that came with fated mates, love was the greatest force of attraction but I couldn't back down from my course simply because she asked, I had gone far deep and there was no redemption for me
RalphI turned and saw Adrian, well I was distracted by him so much so that I didn't pay attention to the petite lady that spoke to me first.He was truly standing there, my blood boiled in my veins as I recalled just how much he had betrayed me but something was off about him.He looked lost and drained, like a zombie maybe."Hello, Ralph." His voice was different too, I would have blamed it on magic but I already picked his scent from a mile away."Somewhere in my head I still thought that you'll be decent enough to address me as Alpha but I see that you already severed all the ties." I replied quite calm."There's not much to gain from given that I'm never going to kneel before you." "Bastard," I threw it at him utterly disgusted by his audacity. "More like the Ralph I know, calm doesn't suit you at all." Something was wrong, they had done things to Adrian and he had the look of a murderous monster in his eyes."Where's my mate?" I asked going straight to the point. "Your mate?"
