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.

I imagine she’s trying to get back to Tristan. I just hope she doesn’t show up and he’s in bed with Larisa, especially since he spelled her to never hate him.

    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

    ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~She knew about my mom’s involvement with the dark witches…“Not shocking. Everybody knew about that and it’s the reason dark witches were expelled from the realm.” Dolf seethed within me. But what she knew was more than what everyone else knew. Truly, my mom tried to possess the dark powers so she could use it herself. She went as far as drafting out the steps she’d take and how she would use the power if they were given to her. I still have those drafts in my library. However, the witches believed that my mom was too weak to possess and channel the powers which was why she wasn’t initiated into their coven.“You can’t seriously be considering her gibberish, Tris. This witch killed Aurelia, Katie, Kyle, and Jessica. She took their lives. You know they would have returned to us if they were still alive–” As if Larisa could hear my wolf’s argument, she rasped, her voice low, hiding her pain yet revealing it, “You said Aurelia was the key but she is dead. I can

    AURELIA~~My first conscious action was inhaling deeply, which irritated my lungs and I started coughing. The dryness of my throat sparked curiosity and I found myself pushing my eyelids apart. However, the sudden brightness that attacked my eyes forced my lids to go against the command from my brain. I felt like I had been hit by a truck and–The car! I gasped, realizing that I was indeed hit by, in this case, a car. My kids… The thought of my kids flooded my mind and blood pumped rapidly within me, causing my heart to pound despite the pain in my chest.Again, I tried to open my eyes. I needed to see what had happened. Did I black out? How long have I been unconscious? I asked myself questions as my eyes fluttered open, slowly to get accustomed to the brightness around me. My brain immediately registers the state of the roof as I fixate on it. The roof was made with dry palm fronds which allowed sunlight to hit my face. I was in a hut. On a bed. And alone. I couldn’t see

    AURELIA~~With every second that passed, my mind came up with my questions but it all turned into a satisfying groan as my back came in contact with a cold yet warm body of water. It was the perfect temperature yet it couldn’t be described as lukewarm. “Where is this place?” I asked, relaxing into the perfect, comforting embrace of the water while staring at the roof of this bigger hut. The foggy layer over my sight was beginning to slip away with every second I spent in the water. My senses which I couldn’t access before also came to life. I sensed Katie and Kyle in the room with me while other unfamiliar scents tickled my nostrils. Mia Lu’s voice came again, “It’s called the purifying lake, Aurelia.”“You know my name?” I asked. She chuckled, sitting on a stool beside the body of water, “I know more than enough about you, Aurelia. We all do.” My eyes shifted around the room and I noticed the figure of five other people. They all had something in common with Mia Lu– Their gre

    AURELIA~~I saw myself on the hospital bed and Tristan sitting beside me. At first, I was confused because while I was seeing myself on the bed, I was also standing in the corner of the room, hand in hand with Susanna. The room was familiar. It was the same room where I saw and met Tristan properly for the first time… The room where he told me that I had two babies instead of the one I was expecting. Susanna muttered to me as if she could read my mind, “This is the past, Aurelia. I brought you here so you can see for yourself. To be honest, you led us to this present moment.” “But how? We were in the hut seconds ago and now I’m here?” I asked her, my voice barely a whisper as I feared that I would be heard by Tristan who stared at me with curiosity while I remained unconscious… well, the past version of me.“You don’t have to whisper. They can’t hear us. This is just a replay of your past.” Susanna said to me, smiling brightly before she answered my question, glancing at our lo

    AURELIA~~As I watched my past self interact with Tristan, anger rose like a bile in my throat. I hated myself for crying and I swore to myself that I’d bring Dolf’s fear to life… Tristan’s plan will backfire because not only has he trained me in combat, but he has also helped me find myself.I was a blunt knife but with his help, I had become sharp. Also, with the help of the white wolves I have somehow reconnected with, I’ll break free from whatever he did to me and–Speaking of that, how did he manage to feed me the concoction every month without my knowledge? I didn’t recall taking any such thing from him willingly. I have also been in Dark Moon Pack for almost two months without Tristan. Why have the effects not worn off? I asked Susanna and she muttered to me, “Hold on tight. I’ll be taking you through the memory lane and you will get to see how he achieved his goals. It would be fast. Try not to get overwhelmed.” I didn’t take her warning seriously until the hospital room

    AURELIA~~Of all the people in the world, he chose her. Of all the ladies in the world to get married to and mate with, Tristan, the same man who went on his knees and proposed to me, chose Larisa, the same woman who snatched my destined mate, manipulated our bond with dark magic, made my life a living hell, kidnapped my son and almost killed my kids and myself. Anger overlapped within me.Gosh, I had never felt this angry in my entire life. I didn’t even know I was capable of carrying this much anger in my body without exploding. Thank goddess I didn’t fall in love with this man. I did feel grateful for the gift of him but now I realized he was more of a curse than a gift. How could life be so cruel to me? How could I escape the manipulative version of Raiden only to fall into the trap of a narcissistic man? A twisted Alpha who couldn’t think straight? So the only reason he wanted me was for my power and perhaps he assumed I would help him take over the realm. But now that I

    AURELIA~~I was living my best life in the hut assigned to my kids and me in the hidden pack while the rest of the realm assumed we were dead. Unfortunately, my best life came with constant anger and sadness at times. I was sad because I realized that no one was looking for us. No one cared enough to try to find us. It’s been two weeks since we got here according to Mia Lu–“Even if anyone is looking for us, we can’t be found. The pack is hidden from other wolves and we would have had trouble finding it if we weren’t brought in by the trackers that sensed our spiritual energy when we tried to create the shield.” Inara explained again. I groaned, “Not like I care but it would be nice to know someone out there is looking for us still.”My wolf hummed in agreement while my eyes scanned the area. The huts were built in rows, leaving a big enough bath between each row. Some huts were big while others were smaller, depending on the number of people that make up the family it belongs to

    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
