ALPHA RAIDEN~~“Pack Games?” I asked nonchalantly. Andrew, who has been walking back to my home with me, scoffed. I could see him rolling his eyes despite the darkness surrounding us. “Yes, Alpha. The same one that comes up every five years. Please don’t act like you haven’t seen the publications–” Of course he was about to start scolding me.“I have seen them and I chose to ignore them, Drew. So can we stop talking about it now?” I cut him off before he could even begin.But still, Andrew retorted, “We can’t drop it because you have to be there.”“I don’t have to. You’ll travel down to Black Fur pack with anyone that wants to participate in the games and also represent me. I have got better things to do with my time.” I voiced out the plans I had made in my head. Andrew didn’t seem surprised but he was able to surprise me when he countered me, stopping dead in his tracks, “I won’t be representing you, Alpha Raiden.”He has got to be kidding me? Representing me was his duty as my
AURELIA~~For a pack that has been thriving on military power and ability, Black Fur looked festive for the first time since I became a member of the pack. The pack hasn’t welcomed anyone into its territory in the past five years… no one except my kids and I.Even for us, it took more than a year after I had my babies for the pack members to fully trust and accept us. But the Pack Games which will be kicking off tomorrow have changed the system of the pack. Ever since Alpha Tristan announced the competition to the pack last week, every pack member has been preparing to be a part of the competition. The warriors, the healers, the kids and even the older wolves have been assigned to carry out various duties and unfortunately for me, I have been assigned to the guest house that Tristan had prepared for all visiting Alphas and their men. I was to welcome them and help them settle in with some other warriors and omegas.Although I was no longer an omega because I had become a warrior,
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I watched her walk away, chasing after her being my first instinct. That was her.Aurelia. Or was I seeing things again?“You aren’t seeing things. That’s her and I have been trying to tell you since we entered Black Fur Pack. I sensed her but–” My wolf began, his voice spreading disbelief through my system. “But I thought it was a fluke.” I completed my wolf’s statement. Truly, after we drove past the borders of Black Fur Pack, my wolf stirred within me and I felt closer to my mate than I have ever felt in years but this wasn’t the first time I would feel Aurelia like she was beside me even though she had been gone for years. Sensing and craving her was a regular occurrence to me but seeing her in flesh wasn’t. “Aurelia,” I whispered with a shaky voice, my legs moving to catch up with her. Andrew’s hand shot out to grab mine as he said into my mind, “You can’t lose control here, Alpha, and not before the most cunning Alpha in the realm.” I snatched my hand
AURELIA~~For the umpteenth time, I tossed in my bed, ignoring the sun rays on my face. Somewhere in the corner of my mind, I knew I should be up and getting ready for the games but I remained in my bed, dreading the reality that would slam into me the second I stepped out of bed. He was here, after all.The man who did everything he could to kill me was here in the same pack with me. The pain and hatred that the sight of him arose in me yesterday at the guesthouse kept me up all night even though Inara tried to talk me into relaxing and preparing my mind for the duel I would be participating in today. “I can’t believe you wasted your energy worrying about that prick, Relia. You could have had a good night's sleep and saved your energy for whoever you would be up against in today’s challenge.” Inara complained, stirring in the back of my mind. “You think I want to be like this?” I asked my wolf, hiding my face in my pillow. “I loathe that man, Ina and he tried to kill Katie and
ALPHA RAIDEN~~My senses intensified when her gaze burned holes into my head and lingered. I knew it was her and my eyes quickly shifted to have a glimpse of her. There she was, walking confidently towards the warriors' section and dressed like one as well. Her black leather pants fitted her beautifully but it also made her appear stronger than I could remember. Heck! I couldn’t remember Aurelia as strong. She used to be everything but strong.But clearly, Andrew was right again. Aurelia was different. She has changed physically as well. The subtle curves that only I used to see in our sex room were much more visible and something inside me twisted when I realized that I wasn’t the only one looking at her right now. She used to wear her hair long and free but now, the black long hair I used to pull each time I push myself into her sweetness has been cut short, defining Aurelia’s jawline. Fuck! “Funny how you’re pissed yet horny. You want her badly but you can’t have her.” Lex
AURELIA~~My eyes locked on my opponent, a female from Crescent Glow Pack. She was clearly one of their strongest and It was obvious that If I let her, she would break me within a minute and end the opening duel.My legs were used to the hard floor of the arena as Jessica and I had trained here in preparation for the games. Alpha Tristan made sure I trained regularly because the pairing of warriors wasn’t something he could predict. “You might be called upon at any time and paired with the deadliest of them all so I need you to be ready unless you want to sit this year’s game out.” Alpha Tristan explained this to me last week. Although I knew about the Pack Games even before I became a warrior, I didn’t know enough to participate in a duel. I blamed that on my previous pack.“You can defeat her as long as you maintain your speed, stamina, and smartness.” Jessica stated the three S before I stepped into the arena to face my opponent and when I stood before her, I heard my sassy li
AURELIA~~After four days of wins and losses for every pack that attended the Pack Games, it was time to announce the result and know the packs that would be going head to head in the semi-finals. The celebration has been going on for four days and while some packs already know they wouldn’t qualify for the next rounds, some of us were simply dreading what the next rounds would bring into our lives. I mean, Black Fur would qualify as we were one of the best and I would be foolish to think that Dark Moon Pack wouldn’t qualify. That saddened me because even though I had found a way to put distance between Alpha Raiden and me these past few days, I wanted nothing more than to see him leave the pack with his men… and never run into him. Ever again. That would keep my kids safe and I would be less worried about breaking before him. But of course, the universe ignored my desires and cry for help. “Black Fur Pack, Crescent Glow Pack, Dark Moon Pack, Moon Stone, and Howling Wolves Pack
AURELIA~~“We’ve crossed the border, Relia.” Inara’s worry was etched into each of those words as the car moved slowly along the bumpy road that connected Dark Moon Pack's borders to its civilization.My guts twisted and I felt my heart beating rapidly as my eyes shifted from side to side, taking in the less familiar landscape of a place I once called home. Clearly, a lot has changed since I left. For one, I had to travel for almost nine months on foot before I made it to Black Fur Pack five years ago but with the luxury of cars, it only took four days to make it back to where I started.Just four days!“But you aren’t alone this time. You’ve me, friends, lovely kids and I bet Alpha Tristan would kill anyone to keep you safe. That man adores you so you’ll be just fine–” Inara began to fill my head with encouraging words as we drew closer and closer to my past.But I’d to cut her off, “Adores me? Don’t start spewing nonsense about him, Ina. He’s simply being my Alpha.” An Alpha I ha
