ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

I didn’t know how long it took my unconscious mind to finally register the soft and small hand on my face. I didn’t know how long my eyes had been closed but I remembered my crazy experience in the forest while I was searching for my family.

I recalled getting bitten by a snake after exhausting my strength and I remember ripping the damn creature apart but that didn’t stop its poison from weakening me even more…

I knew that much, however, I didn’t know what or who the hand on my face belonged to.

Could it be another creature? Was I still in the wild?

I thought as I tried to open my eyes. I believed I was still in the wild all alone and maybe with another dangerous creature until my eyes fluttered open and my fuzzy gaze met with a familiar face.

“Ka-Katie…” I muttered, my dead daughter’s name rolling off my tongue as I looked at the illusion before me.

Snake poison could do that to one’s mind?

I was hallucinating–

“Mama, he’s awake.” My son’s voice smacked my eard

I feel bad for Raiden but at least now he knows they are okay. He can let them stay there and be safe since everyone else thinks they are dead. Maybe they will let his mother come there to visit the kids since she's a white wolf.

    AURELIA ~~ Hurt flashed through his eyes but I didn’t fret. Saying no to him was the right thing to do– “Even though you have been nursing him for the past four days? You didn’t leave his side and the kids had to be brought here because of that.” Inara called me out. “Caring for a sick man doesn't mean I’d leave with him, Ina–” Inara scoffed, “He isn’t just a sick man, though. He’s our ex-mate and the father of our kids.” “Emphasis on Ex, Ina.” I retorted stubbornly. The kids have been just as worried as I was ever since they found out that their dad was in the pack and unconscious. They stayed with him while Lori did her best to mend his soul but she couldn’t. Lori said to me, “You are the only one who can heal his soul. Just like you’re the only one who can heal your soul.” She told me that two days ago after she assured me that Kyle’s lung disease would no longer be an issue and that my heart was getting better by the day. I had abandoned my training since I coul

    AURELIA~~Katie and Kyle were beginning to get used to the uniqueness of this pack. They weren’t exactly surprised when Raiden’s eyes closed and his body went limp together with Susanna’s. My heart was racing as a result of curiosity but it was more of uncertainty. To my surprise, Katie held on to Raiden’s free hand, caressing it with gentility. Clearly, she was no longer mad at her Dad but it was quite the opposite for Kyle who wouldn’t leave my side. “Can we let him stay, Mom?” Katie asked a question I knew she would throw at me. However, before I could answer, Kyle grumbled with a pout of his own, “We agreed not to forgive anyone that hurt Mama, Katie. Why are you breaking our promise?” “Because Mom taught us to forgive and Dad is sorry, Kyle. Can’t you feel it?” Katie muttered with conviction which made me look at Mia Lu with questions in my eyes. Since when did Katie start feeling Raiden's emotions? That’s highly impossible unless holding Raiden's hand while he was holdin

    ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV ~~Anger was the only emotion I had been feeling for the entire week. It was zapping through me and eating me up, leaving no space for any other feeling or thought. I felt disgusted and couldn’t look at myself in the mirror–“But you still enjoyed the sex.” Dolf scoffed. My wolf had become the biggest opponent I had to deal with but the feeling of betrayal was bigger than the tension between my wolf and me.“Oh, you feel betrayed?” Dolf chuckled with mockery. “I wonder what Aurelia would be feeling–” “She is dead, Dolf! She died. She can’t feel nothing.” I snapped at my wolf. As if it wasn’t bad enough that I have been a mess since I woke up in my bedroom with a smile on my face and with the assumption that I had just made love to Aurelia, only to open my eyes and find Larisa snoring softly and peacefully in my bed… In my fucking arms. As if it wasn’t bad enough that I actually enjoyed the sex with her… In my defense, I thought she was Aurelia. Throughout

    ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV ~~“Release him and clean him up,” I commanded the guards at the gate as I walked out of my pack’s holding ground. With no question asked, the guards nodded and they jumped into action.Before I went into the cell and heard Louis out, the plan was to have him killed in any way he chose but fortunately for him, he presented his case well. Perhaps I should have listened to him a week ago and saved us all the pain and drama. And fortunately for him, his decision to stay alive rather than choose death sounded great to me. Yes, I could have had him killed regardless. I didn’t need him. I could get another Beta within a twinkle of an eye but to be honest, I didn’t want someone else. Louis would be punished but he’d live on as my Beta and together we would revive the dead dreams of our parents.With the newfound determination, I returned to my home where I hadn’t been in a week all because I wanted to avoid Larisa who had been locked and kept in her room. My home w

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~Taking a trip down memory lane with a mysterious white wolf had opened my eyes to many things but nothing compared to the kind of peace, love, and harmony radiating within this pack. I was sitting in front of my hut like I have been doing every evening since I was able to leave the bed and I could feel the genuine joy once again. This pack was smaller compared to mine but it felt bigger than mine because everyone here has a big heart. Of course, they have been wary of me and I wouldn’t blame them. They never cease to offer me a smile or invite me to any gathering even though I was an outsider in their pack. Jeremy was still an ass though. I guess there would always be a Jeremy regardless of how pure a pack is. “There she is.” Lex chimed happily into my mind as he sighted Aurelia through my eyes. He had been looking around for her while I looked at the little kids as they played around. While Katie and Kyle got bullied in my pack and mostly had to hang with Hazel

    AURELIA~~“Much better. You are almost as good as new.” Mia Lu applauded. I gasped, panting due to shortness of breath, “Really?” “Hmm hmm…” Mia Lu confirmed to me. “Your heart is almost healed and you are almost ready to use your spiritual energy.” The excitement I felt initially kinda died as the word almost became less satisfying. Almost wasn't enough anymore. I wanted to be able to do things like everyone else. I wanted to start training fully but as it is, I’ve to focus on opening myself to the spiritual energy Tristan was hell bent on blocking for his own benefit. “What do I do to be ready? Why is my heart healing as slow as a snail and can’t I practice healing tricks or seer's abilities with the current level of my spiritual force?” I asked Mia Lu. “I suppose you can but you will be drained before you can master even the simplest tricks and we are not sure if you are a seer or a spiritual guardian like me.” Mia Lu stated as she replied. “The spiritual shield your wolf c

    AURELIA~~Raiden led me to a more private area of the pack in silence. I tried to ignore the bile in my throat as Mia Lu’s words echoed in my mind. Mia Lu had made me realize that Raiden wasn’t the only one at fault. I was too.Yes, he hurt me– physically, mentally and emotionally.Yes, he failed me as my mate. Yes, he was wrong in many ways. However, for how long would I hold on to the past? How long would I deprive myself of true happiness? I don’t have to fall in love with him but I could at least stop holding on to hate. I could give him a chance to prove himself to me and most especially the kids. Doing that could also help me acquire massive spiritual energy–“Please have a seat.” Raiden’s gentle tone called me out of my thoughts. Our eyes met before mine fell to the fallen log of a tree he asked me to sit on. I sat and he did too, putting space between us. “I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable by asking you–” Raiden began with a sigh.I cut in, gazing at the tre

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~“Someone looks happy and radiant this morning.” Otis crackled as I stepped onto the small training field the pack had. The big smile on my face grew even bigger as I shook his hand, paying zero attention to Jeremy who simply grumbled at my presence. “You are talking about you, right?” I feign ignorance and it is chuckled, shaking his head. “Stop fooling around. I'm certain your—” Otis began to counter.However, Jeremy snickered without an iota of niceness, “Yes, stop fooling around. We have to train. We have to be ready.” My brows furrowed, “Ready for what?”Otis and Jereney exchanged looks and I figured Otis lied to me when he responded, “Ready to go hunting for the week, Alpha Raiden.”I didn't push any further, as he invited me to duel with him. But at that moment, Aurelia, the reason for the happiness I had been drowning in, sauntered to the training field with Susanna beside her and, of course, my little girl, Katie. Why wouldn't I be happier? Aurelia has

    ALPHA TRISTAN~~“You should take your leave.” The he-wolf who smelled like a strong gamma seethed at me. “She doesn’t want to see you.”Although I had been standing by the border of Dark Moon Pack for hours, I intended to remain there until I got to see Aurelia. “C’mon, Gamma Seth. You know we mean no harm.” Louis, who had officially resumed his duties as my Beta after I was reinstalled as Alpha, said to the strong Gamma. “This is a peaceful visit.”I simply listened as my Beta negotiated with the Gamma, feeling more like Louis was the Alpha. I would be lying if I said I haven’t felt useless these past few days. After regaining consciousness, I found out that Louis had become more influential, not only in my pack. Obviously. “Your ego is bruised?” Dolf mocked me. But his assumptions weren’t exactly the case. I just couldn’t wait to get back my strength and become myself again. “This isn’t about your intention, Beta Louis. It’s about my Alpha and Luna's wishes.” The Gamma answer

    AURELIA~~Perhaps it was anger or hate, I couldn’t tell. Or maybe it was both. I was angry that Tristan was back to his feet even though I permitted Lori to send some Mender to Black Fur Pack to help him after Beta Louis took the oath, signed the peace treaty, and pleaded for help. I was so angry that my mate had to fall and Tristan got to rise again even though he didn’t deserve it.And for the hate, it was simple– I hated Tristan.Although my hate for Larisa was greater, Tristan wasn’t far from being another Larisa to me–“Talking about that bitch. She has had enough peace, don’t you think? It’s time we pay her another visit.” Inara snarled into my mind, fueling the hatred in my heart. My wolf had taken a hobby in tearing Larisa apart since she had become our prisoner– one that I wasn’t ready to kill just yet. Each time we pay her a visit in her cell, we torture her until death flashes before her eyes, leave her to healers to heal her, and return to start the process all over

    AURELIA~~Life was different now. Before the war, I simply trained to get better and increase our chances of winning, but now, I am the leader of two packs and have more duties than I could have imagined. Life was different but one thing remained constant– my life was difficult.“Are you with me, Luna?” Andrew’s voice called me out of my self-pitying thoughts. I blinked rapidly, composing myself despite my desire to just go home, be with my kids, and–“Do you want to take the day off? I can handle the pack affairs while you recuperate.” Andrew offered and Seth who was sitting on the chair beside him nodded in agreement.But to be honest, I have rested enough. It’s been two months after the war and while a lot still needed to be fixed, the pack was recovering better than I thought it would, thanks to the help I have gotten from both sides– White Shade and Dark Moon.Andrew and Seth have been helping with Dark Moon’s affair and the elders of the White Wolves have been very helpful

    ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~As my eyes fluttered open, I could have sworn that my body had forgotten what it meant to be alive. Opening my eyes was harder than it should ever be for anyone but adjusting my eyes to the brightness around me was way harder than opening them. I let out a groan when I tried to lift a finger and pain consumed me. My entire body ached. I felt so heavy.“Alpha. You are awake.” Louis. That was his voice but it sounded more like noise to me as his voice sent a sharp ring through my aching head, making me groan again. At the moment, I didn’t feel like an Alpha. It took forever before I could see clearly and Louis's face was the first thing I saw. He was hovering above me, looking at me like he was scanning me for damages. “Thank the Goddess. I was beginning to worry that you might never wake up–” Louis stated, smiling. But seeing him so close to me sent flashes of what I knew was the past through my mind. I recalled everything. How he joined forces with Laris

    aryAURELIA~~“We can’t give up like this, Relia. You shouldn’t give up like this. Mend him. Do something.” Inara uttered, urging me even though Raiden was gone. Do something… I couldn’t count the number of times I had heard those two words today and I hated the sound of it, mostly because I couldn’t do anything. “Yes you can, Alpha.” Tamia’s voice echoed in my mind. I didn’t know how she managed to reach me despite the turmoil my mind had become but she did and her voice would have given me some sort of peace if I wasn’t mourning my mate… My teary eyes found Tamia and Lori beside me, making me wonder how long I had sat in the dirt with Raiden’s body. For how long has his heart been crushed right there in my presence? For how much longer can I keep this devastating news from my kids–“Oh, my kids.” I cried out, undiluted misery settling within my being, making itself at home. They just got their father. How do I tell them it would be just us from now on? How do I manage this

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   236. A Dead Child

    AURELIA~~I knew I screamed. I felt my lips parting and my lungs pushing out air as my mouth widened. I knew I screamed but I heard nothing. The world went still while Raiden kept falling. Faster than my brain could register. Faster than my body could react. Although I was still standing, I fell with him. Although my eyes were still open, they closed the second his eyes did. I saw the same darkness he saw when he closed his eyes. I felt the same pain he felt when his heart was engulfed by a strong force and maybe I screamed because I knew there would be no going back as that force crushed his heart before I could even blink. “No!” Inara’s cry burst through my crushed soul as she exclaimed, “Do something, Relia.” But what could I have done? After draining Larisa as my wolf suggested, I didn’t expect any sudden movement from her. Heck, she was as good as dead and when Louis screamed those warning words, I was too tired to react quickly. Converting Larisa’s dark energy to pure

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~It took seeing Larisa and Aurelia in a fight for me to realize that I was wrong to assume that I could take down Larisa just because I was the most powerful Alpha in the realm… Physical strength was no use against Larisa because she had soaked my soul in dark energy. She wasn’t even touching me and I was feeling pain despite floating in the air like gravity had decided to take a break.Sadly I realized that I was of no use in this war. In fact, I was merely a weak link that Larisa wanted to use to defeat Aurelia and have her way in the realm. I was trying so hard not to scream and came off as a powerless puny before my exhausted mate and my warriors but this pain was eating me alive. It was everywhere. Digging deep into me. I have been trying to block the pain from getting to Aurelia as I could tell that she didn’t need that right now. If I couldn’t contribute power, I shouldn’t add pain either.But of course, that wasn’t easy to achieve. I could feel the pain slip

    AURELIA~~Raiden’s scream was heard by every warrior. I could feel every one of our friends and pack members freezing for a moment as we all understood that for an Alpha; in fact, the strongest Alpha in the realm; to scream like that, hell was coursing through him. We all understood. I, as his mate and Luna, knew even better because the second the hell burst out within him, I felt it burning me from within and it was only a matter of time before I let out a scream of my own. “You dare not, Relia.” Inara’s voice echoed, breaking through whatever Larisa was doing to Raiden which was affecting me greatly as I tried to keep the spiritual link between me and the warriors open. If those links should close, they would all die as they would be no match for Larisa’s fortified warriors. “It hurt. I’m burning from within and–” I cried to my wolf even though Phoebe was still right behind me, healing me and Otis keeping me out of sight.“Do you know why she is coming at you hard?” Inara as

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~My feet couldn’t carry my body weight fast enough as I ran through the forest, noticing how deserted my pack was. Those pack members who were not in the hall with Mia Lu were with Aurelia on the battlefront where my body was literally yanking me toward.I was on high alert and if I was being honest with myself, I would admit that I wasn’t in my right senses but how do I even think when all I felt was the urgent and dying need to be with Aurelia? It was like a pull.The kind of pull a mate should feel only when his mate is in grave danger. The kind that makes a man’s heart bleed and every nerve in his body go out of control.Yes, I was losing it. I had lost it from the second I regained consciousness and felt the strange burn on Aurelia’s mark which was sitting on my neck.I woke up with the need to get out. To break free and get to Aurelia even though my kids were in the hall and beside me. The second I saw Mia Lu stagger due to exhaustion, I ran and hadn't stopped
