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

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~I stared at the cell phone for the longest time, shaking visibly yet doing my best to contain the rage rushing through my veins, poisoning my mind and contaminating my broken soul yet keeping me alive. That rage was the only thing that had kept me breathing for the past few days and letting it out on Jake who I had tied to a pole in the pack square, was one way to keep myself sane.Mostly, I was mad at Larisa and Jake. However, I was mad at myself as well. Do I always have to be a failure? Why can’t I do one thing right? I had commanded my men to stretch out and search the area where the accident happened. I had been searching with them but there was no sign of Aurelia and the kids. We found no sign of life, except for a few of their belongings scattered around the explosion spot.This brings me to the struggle that I have been dealing with… The struggle of accepting that they were gone–“They can’t be gone.” Lex countered with a ferocious whimper.

    LARISA’S POV ~~Icy cold water hit my body all of a sudden and my eyes flashed open, air rushing into my lungs.“You don’t get to sleep.” Alpha Tristan snarled at me.Was I even sleeping? Hell, I just closed my eyes like what? Ten minutes ago? He wouldn’t leave me alone for crying out loud. If he wasn’t inflicting pain on me, his men were and somehow, they all managed to make me lose my mind without leaving a single mark on my body. I would explain if I could but after being tortured for… I have lost count of days. The pain was just too much–“I can’t sleep. My wolf can’t sleep but you think you can sleep?” Alpha Tristan snarled again, walking into a corner of the torture room while I tried to yank off the restraints holding me to the table but I failed like the other times. I whimpered, “Haven’t you done enough? I can’t take any more–” My voice broke when he stepped into my line of view. His eyes were red, the bags under them were huge and he was wearing a night robe which tell

    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

    Alpha Prince Kyle In that instance, time froze, and my body did too, not just because my mate growled into my mind with conviction, “Mate,” but mostly because the conviction Rio had initially turned into confusion as we both stared at the person whose scent invaded my nostrils like never before.“T-that’s impossible.” I stuttered and staggered backward, unable to believe what was happening. “She can’t be my mate. She can’t be our mate, Rio.”I shook my head, pleading with the moon goddess to rescue me from whatever this was.I thought I was ready to find my mate. Well, until this minute. Until my mate turned out to be her—the least expected person.“She’s the only one in the library, Kyle. It’s her, and you know it.” Rio said to me, sounding just as confused as I was, even though we both knew life was about to get difficult.Did I say things happen easily for me? Well, not anymore.The familiar sweet vanilla scent mixed with the welcoming scent of books filled my nostrils again.

    Alpha Prince Kyle’~~I was no spiritual guru, and when I say that, I also mean that I wasn't really into the spiritual stuff that most of my family members enjoy. In fact, all but Katie and my Dad and perhaps Ronald. Also, I wasn’t so into the physical stuff like Katie and my Dad, and again, maybe Ronald—the little man is still juggling between both worlds and trying to find his footing. It was safe to say that I was the weirdest one in my family, but I didn’t feel weird or odd. I fit in. But to me, Davien didn’t fit into his own family. Not a spiritual expert or an energy expert, but I could sense the bad energy and vibe among the four members of that family. “For one, his brother is an idiot. Ma should have let us rip his head off.” Rio hissed.Although I was more of a diplomatic person who loves peace, my wolf can get a whole lot crazy when he is pissed, and Goddess knew he was pissed earlier when the dumbass brother of Katie’s mate tried to say shit about her."Plus, his mo

    DAVIEN~~“Do you want to become wolfless because I can make that happen with a flip of my fingers?” Damien turned white at the five-year-old prince’s threat, and I had to hold back my laughter while Prince Kyle growled at my twin brother. The only reason my parents shunned Damien was because they were still trying to hide the fact that I was wolfless from the royal family. Imagine that. Hiding something from this kind of family? Impossible! However, my parents didn’t know that yet, and I also didn’t want them to discover that I was no longer wolfless. My Dad fell on his knee before the royal family and cried out, “I apologize for my son's shortcomings. Please forgive them, your majesties.” “Your sons? I see just one with a lot of shortcomings, Jarrett, and I can’t forgive anyone who speaks down on me, even if the person is about to be family.” Alpha King Raiden seethed, controlling his rage like a pro. It was then that I realized that I was about to become part of the royal

    DAVIEN~~I still couldn’t believe that I was sitting beside her.Not just because she was the princess, but because she was my mate. The Princess of the realm was my mate, and I was talking to her even though she seemed to be lost in thought at the moment. Should she even be thinking right now? I mean, she just fainted a few hours ago and her health was fragile–“Is that worry I hear in your thought?” Dolf asked rhetorically, causing me to sigh. “What are we going to do, Dolf?” I asked my wolf. The whole idea of having a wolf still seems unreal. “I can tell you, but you have to figure this out yourself,” Dolf responded, proving that he was indeed a wise wolf spirit. “I’m flattered, Davien but I must ask you—do you want this? Do you want Katie as your mate, me as your wolf, and this new life that has been shoved down your throat?”I scoffed audibly, and Princess Katie’s gaze shifted to me. Although she didn’t say anything, I could tell that she had a whole lot to say. Maybe not

    Princess Katie Anne~~I was used to having men in my life fighting for me, but seeing the boy from Black Fur do the same against his brother brought about a different feeling that I wasn’t familiar with. His words echoed in my head: “You do not talk to my mate like that.”I could have sworn I had heard my dad say the exact words, but the effects were different because this time I was the mate and the man speaking those words was mine.“So you want him now.” Zuri chimed with amusement. I would have smiled if I didn’t see Davien’s twin brother rushing to land a hit on him. Energy surged within me, and I pushed myself off the bed, running to stand between Dvaien and his twin brother. Goddess was I fast. My speed had always been incredible despite not having a wolf, but the level I tapped into now was more than the word incredible could describe.I caught Damien’s fist in the air even though my mate had bent over to dodge the impact of his brother’s punch. Damien’s eyes widened, bu

    DAVIEN~~“What the hell have you done now, Davien?”My dad bellowed, and as always, my body began to shake because I knew this was the beginning of another episode of insults and perhaps abuse. No, if he was going to hit me, he would have done that as soon as he stepped into this room. Plus, the fact that Princess Katie was sitting on the bed beside me wouldn’t let my dad act rashly. Also, my mom was unusually quiet; I wanted to believe she was like that because the royal family was standing outside. My brother would have said something if we weren’t in the palace of the famous rulers of our realm. He would have thrown it in my face that he was the perfect son and should have been born first, just like our parents had always said. Damien would have done that if we weren’t in Dark Moon Pack. I knew all of this, yet my body trembled out of habit, fear coursing through my body. “Answer the question, Davien.” My mom pushed for answers, her eyes falling on Princess Katie, who just h
