One of your questions has been answered. we now know the snitch but now, which Alpha found Larisa first? Tristan or Raiden? Or is the warning going to and will Aurelia and the kids fall into the trap? and oh, how did Andrew get dragged into this mess? Find out in the next chapters! Thank you for reading! Love, Kiki.
AURELIA~~I looked at the space where I had slept, cried, laughed, and felt many emotions in the past month for the last time. My kids and Hazel were already outside, and I was holding our last bag, ready to join them. I sighed as I began to walk toward the door but I stopped when I heard the sound of a cell phone ringing. My brows furrowed because the sound wasn’t coming from my handbag where my cellphone was safely tucked away and switched off as I didn’t want to hear from Tristan who must have been notified of our departure by Raiden’s men. There was no way anyone from Dark Moon would travel to Black Fur without informing Tristan.Out of curiosity, I traced the ringing sound to the bedside drawer on Hazel’s side of the bed, and lo and behold, I found a phone. I didn’t know how that was possible and how I had never noticed it until now.As I tried to read the unknown number, I perceived Hazel’s scent before I heard footsteps. Within a second, Hazel opened the door and entered t
ALPHA RAIDEN~~They were gone… I stood in front of the apartment they once occupied until I couldn’t see the cars anymore… not even the trail of dust the car tires evoked as they zoomed off.My mate and my kids were gone.“It’s never too late to stop them from leaving. They are still within pack territory–” Lex began to utter words that he thought would change my mind about letting Aurelia go if that was what she wanted.But I shook my head, sadness crawling into my entire being as I countered, “No, Lex. It’s too late and this is where we say our goodbye. I can never get her back but I can still be a part of their lives.”“That’s not enough. What about the mate bond? What about the dreams you have–” Oh, the half-broken bond that I had stubbornly held on to? The dreams that can’t come true because I fucked up? I etched, “It’s time to let the bond and the dream of having my own family go.” There was no way I would give up on being an awesome father to my kids. I also won’t let Au
ALPHA RAIDEN~~My legs grew a mind of their own as I ran towards my pack’s prison. I was beating myself up for my foolishness but I still focused on running as fast as possible. I was wrong. I was fucking wrong and Andrew did tell me but my head was so up my ass that I didn’t care to listen. My emotions spiraled and now I had made a huge mistake. I broke the one man who would do anything to stand with me and make sure my back was protected. How could I have assumed Andrew would stab me in the back? “The thought of it hurt you and you were blinded by that feeling and the feeling of loss.” Lex whimpered within me, reminding me about the emptiness I felt within. All these years, I thought I was empty without Aurelia and a complete bond but I was just beginning to understand the real meaning of the word empty. I pushed my pain out of my mind as Alpha Clinton’s words echoed in my head, forcing me to run faster. “I called your Beta yesterday because I got some news and I didn’t wan
AURELIA~~I felt it… The second Raiden accepted my long-standing rejection, I felt it in my bones. Mostly, I felt relieved that it was finally over with him but still, a tiny part of me grieved what could have been… what the both of us could have been, what our life would have been like with our kids if we didn’t start on the wrong track.I found myself thinking about the unknown future that stood before us all and I felt fear sinking into my bones as I wondered if I’d ever be happy.But that wasn’t all I felt. I felt suspicious as well. It’s been almost an hour since we left Raiden’s territory and even though we still had a long journey before us, something seemed off. Not only was the car in front speeding off like it wanted to get to Black Fur before the rest. Could Hazel be so excited that she told the driver to go faster than usual? I wouldn’t put it past her but I wished I could tell her to think about safety first.Aside from that, the driver of our car seemed to be stru
AURELIA~~I screamed in hopes that I would be able to get the other driver to use the dam brakes if they were still working.But my scream was cut short when the third car hit ours with a loud bang that had the car spinning so fast. Before I could jump out of the way, I saw my driver’s head hit the steering wheel and window as the car tumbled, His blood tinted the windscreen and my heart cried for him but I still had to jump to protect my kids.I jumped, making the mistake of backing the edge of the hill but that wasn’t the end. I mean, right there and then, the third car did a quick reverse and I almost let out a sigh of relief, thinking the car’s driver was finally back to his scenes.However, he drove straight and fast into our car again. I couldn’t escape the quick impact as the car tumbled again, slamming into me. The impact knocked air out of my lungs but somehow, my hold on my babies was stronger than ever. “Mom…” “Mama…” The twins screamed simultaneously. I didn’t reali
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I COULDN’T SAVE THEM!I tried. I ran. I caught up with them but not in time to save my family… Unfortunately, I was in time to witness the earthshattering explosion and that took my heart out. I lost all senses as my eyes reflected the tall flame and my brain registered the fact that I was too late… “He didn’t plan to kill them here. They’ve to be here somewhere.” Lex cried, agony taking over us both as I scanned the area through my wolf’s eyes in search of Aurelia and the kids. If only I could sense them. If only I feel some sort of connection to them…. I had no links with the kids and the only link I had with Aurelia had been severed about an hour ago. Despite being in my wolf’s form, I still couldn’t get a whiff of them… not even with the smoke that had filled the air.Fuck! Not knowing what could have happened to them or where they could be was killing me. However, Jake didn’t seem to share in my worries. In fact, he didn’t even notice that I was standing beh
ALPHA TRISTAN'S POV~~I got the news of Larisa’s plan from my men a few days ago and I have been trying to reach someone… anyone from Dark Moon Pack so I could warn them but no one answered their damn phone. Not Hazel!Not Aurelia herself!Not even her dumb ex-mate who was a goddamn Alpha! I also haven’t heard from any of them in days.Heck! I wanted to believe they were still in Dark Moon Pack but I’d be a fool to think that, especially after I got the news that Hazel was found unconscious in the middle of the road with a coffin and there was no sign of Aurelia and the twins. “I still don’t understand why we are still here instead of going out there to search for them,” Dolf grumbled impatiently even though the men I sent out were on their way back to the pack with Hazel and Jessica’s body. “Sending men out isn’t enough–” “You do know I have an advantage, right? It’s clear that Larisa’s plan already went through and her people have Aurelia and the kids.” I retorted, hoping to
LARISA’S POV ~~In all my years of relating with Raiden, first as his lover and then as his Luna, I have never been disrespected by him. After living with him for over six years, I can boldly say he was nothing like the savage that Tristan was. That son of a shit slapped me like he was trying to break my face. I didn’t see those jaw-crushing slaps coming even though I had realized that the people who took me were not Raiden’s men before Alpha Tristan removed the blindfold. Raiden men would have still treated me like I was human but these ones didn’t give a fuck about me. I presumed the only reason they didn’t kill me on sight was because Tristan wanted to have the honor to himself.My heart was racing like the continuity of my life depended on how fast it could beat as I thought about what my life had become overnight. I, Larisa Wellington, Dark Moon’s precious Princess who later became their most wanted Luna candidate was now a prisoner to someone who seemed to only care about A
Princess Katie Anne~~“Today will be easy because you are just recovering. If you didn't have to begin spiritual training immediately, I wouldn't have asked you to join us.”My mom had said it was time, confirming that today would simply be a preview, but that didn’t make it easier. At some point, I found myself asking, “Why do I have to train spiritually, Mom? What if I don’t have the skills?”“You have abilities, Katie. How else would you have predicted the sex of your brothers? How else would you have been able to create such a strong bond with Dolf? How else would you have a pure white wolf who radiates pure energy?”My mom retorted, pointing out some of the exceptional things I had done when I was younger. She even added, “The only reason you aren’t skilled when it comes to your abilities is because you didn’t start training early. You were obsessed with training physically. Plus, I didn’t know how to be a mother to a young girl who could be just like me or completely differen
Princess Katie Anne~~If there was any place I felt confident and powerful, it would be in the training arena or any training field where I could demonstrate myself freely. Although the last war recorded in the history of the realm was the one my mom fought with Larisa, the dark witch, and also Alpha Tristan, someone I once loved, I have been decorated as the best female warrior after my mom.Also, I participated in the Quinquennial Pack Games, where I won many awards and, with the help of other warriors in the pack, brought the trophy home for my pack. I have participated twice: when I was ten and when I was fifteen. The goddess knew I had been looking forward to the next one.“I don’t understand why anyone would choose violence over fighting with spiritual strength," Zuri clamored within me as soon as I stepped into the arena.Of course, she could feel the excitement flowing through me, and as her words resonated in my head, I rolled my eyes. I was about to respond, but Zoe beat
DAVIEN~~The day had just begun, and I was already unsure of how the rest of the day would turn out. Waking up to find Alpha Prince Kyle in my mate’s bed was only one of the unexpected surprises, and I must confess that feeling Katie’s lips on mine was my favorite unexpected incident.Her lips molded against mine like they were my long-lost piece. Instantly, my lungs gave way to a deep groan, and my hands itched to touch this bold woman. I had never felt like this with any woman.If I were being honest, I would say I had never kissed a woman before.Yes, this was my first kiss, and as Katie pressed her lips against mine, I feared she would discover that I was inexperienced. Would I be seen as man enough if I didn’t live up to her sexual expectations?What are her expectations, and on what experiences are they based?Could she have—Focus, Davien!I scolded myself. A first kiss should be memorable, so I should burn this moment into my memory.Slowly, I let my hands sneak all the way
Princess Katie Anne~~“What happened between you both?” I asked Davien after Kyle slammed my bedroom door like a child.“Nothing much.” Davien shrugged and bent down to pick up the duvet and pillow on the floor. My brows furrowed, another question swelling in my mind even though he still hadn’t answered the first one I asked him. But he did eventually, saying, “He just made me realize that I have a lot to get used to around here.”Although I didn’t understand what he said, I blurted, “You slept on the floor?”Davien nodded, and I exclaimed, “Why? Did I ask you to?”I couldn’t stop myself from wondering if I did that before I fell asleep last night.“You didn’t ask me to sleep on the floor, Princess Katie. I chose to sleep there because I assumed I was still a stranger to you even though we share a bond. You didn’t know me until yesterday. I had to respect your privacy.” Davien answered rigidly, addressing me with my title even though I had already told him not to.I didn’t know how
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE’S POV~~“What the hell do you think you are doing?”I yelled as soon as my back hit what I knew was the hard floor and my eyes fluttered open to see Davien standing over me, his hands tight around my ankles.“Why would you even do that?” I seethed.But in spite of my anger, he didn’t seem remorseful, not even when he turned on the light bulb in the room. My eyes were heavy with sleep, but I blinked rapidly to keep them open, staring at my sister’s mate, who stood above me with a glare etched on his face.“Why are you in bed with her?” Davien, or whatever his name is, spat that question in my face. I was too exhausted for this.I didn’t get a wink of sleep until I got in Katie’s bed, and no, it wasn’t hunger that kept me up. It was the thought of having to wait six years to claim my mate or have any intimate relationship with her.I couldn’t sleep because of my thoughts, but Katie’s scent had always comforted me, and since I couldn’t crawl between my Ma and Pa, it
DAVIEN~~To my surprise, Katie led me up the stairs to the third floor of the palace after openly rejecting Cole for the second time and hopefully for the last time because I couldn't stand the sight of that guy.We all knew Cole.He had been a boy since he was little, which explains why he and Damien immediately got along. Those two have been friends for as long as I can remember. My brother would travel all the way to Cole’s pack to spend time with him but never walk down the hallway to say hi to me unless he needed my help.“You don’t have to worry about Cole, Davien. My uncles will make sure he never shows up in front of me, and as soon as Kyle hears about this, he will track him down and bury him alive just to keep him away.”Katie muttered, chuckling sweetly as she spoke about her brother, whereas I was just thinking about my own brother, but not so sweetly.I pushed my family discourse aside and focused on Katie, with whom I will build a new family. A better one, in fact.“I
Princess Katie Anne~~Gosh! Can this day end already?Like I was fucking exhausted. What I needed right now was some peace and quiet, and I thought I would be getting that after dinner with my family, but he just had to show up.“That asshole,” Zuri seethed within me, emanating a kind of rage that I didn’t know a white wolf like her could access. She heard my thoughts and scoffed in my mind, “I’m a white wolf, not a stupid one.”“I beg to differ,” Zoe chided, initiating another session of bickering.However, I stopped them both before it could escalate: “I do not need this right now. You either help me get rid of this idiot, or I ask my mom to put a solid and unbreakable wall between our minds.”I might not know how to do that on my own, but with a little help from my mom, my wolves would be shut out. Somehow, my wolves inherited the fear I had for my mom. Although I don’t show it often, that woman terrifies me sometimes because I know just how powerful she is.“But why get rid of
DAVIEN ~~ Dinner back home was usually quiet, and even if anyone had anything to say, it would be about Damien’s latest stunt and my dad's stressful day. Most times, I skip eating with my family, and they never force me to make an appearance unless we had guests joining us. However, dinner with the royal family was different. The long table in the dining hall was the longest I had ever seen in my entire twenty years of living. I tried to count the number of people in the hall, but I kept losing track and had to start over as the kids moved around.“They are all family?” I whispered to Princess Katie... I mean just Katie as I pull out a chair she led me to and help her get comfortable. “Yes, Davien,” She laughed, saying my name like it was part of her favorite melody. “Everyone in the pack is family, but these are my closest.” “Closest? Seriously?” I asked deadpan. There were almost thirty people in the hall, and they all had a seat at the long table. The royal family got the se
Princess Katie Anne~~ If anyone was looking at me, he or she wouldn’t hesitate to claim that I had been sitting in silence for many hours. I was beside a man who turned his family away just so he could stay with me.However, I was sitting in everything but silence. Inside, I was anything but silent.The thoughts and voices of two distinct yet similar wolves raced through my mind like whirlwinds. The discussion might not be happening between Davien and me, but it was definitely going on between Zuri and Zoe.It all started when Zuri said to Zoe, sarcasm dripping into my mind as her cool voice bounced off the walls of my thoughts, “You still think he is a wimp? Did you see how he stood up to defend us? I’m beginning to question your decision-making ability.”“Um, you mean I’m dumb?” Zoe asked with disbelief. “And you, who didn’t question a bond, are the smart one?”“Not to brag, but I do believe I should be the decision-maker between us both. You are hotheaded and—”“Don’t even fin
