AURELIA

~<>~

When I said I didn't remember the kids’ birthday until yesterday, I lied.

I lied to Raiden.

My heart was heavy as I left Raiden’s side, and walked back to Susanna who had become my training partner in place of Jessica. Of course, she couldn’t replace Jessica because she was physically weaker in comparison and because there would only be one Jessica.

“You could have told him. He could sense the lie and your sadness–” Inara began just as I reached Susanna’s side and she looped our hands together.

“How could I? I doubt he recalls anything about Dakota. Phoebe is the only living person who would know and sadly, we aren’t in the same pack and won’t be able to hold a proper ceremony for Dakota together.” I interjected my wolf.

Dakota’s remembrance ritual should be held on the same day my kids turn six but I couldn’t do it alone and I wasn’t sure it was advisable to hold a death remembrance ceremony on the same day as the twins' birth remembrance.

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   137. Into The Future

    AURELIA~~The excitement coursing through me was intoxicating. This was it. I get to finally have something that would connect me to my roots on a deeper level. Mental connection was cool but this would be cooler.“Goddess please let’s this work. Help me find my identity.” I muttered a silent prayer but everyone was within earshot. They heard me clearly and felt my excitement.I was laughed at but soon I was asked to sit within the shallow lake and I was joined by the trio– Susanna, Mia Lu, and Lori. They held one another's hands, forming a small circle around me.“Close your eyes, child, and search deep within you.” Mia Lu’s voice called for utmost obedience. I did as told and the trio began to chant in a language I didn’t understand. However, the chants helped me relax and my mind opened up, my heart beating fast yet steadily. Minutes passed and I didn’t feel anything aside from the relaxation the water and chants provided.Nothing happened differently, not until I inhaled dee

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   138. Secret Lovers

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~One fact about keeping secrets was the fear and guilt that slowly eat one away. For the past two days, while wondering what my kids' birthday gifts could be, I have also considered telling Aurelia what I saw in the future. I yearn to share with her.But I also feared that she would lose it. Or Not.I haven’t told her yet and she has been moody these past few days. For my own sanity, I made myself believe that Aurelia was moody because she was occupied with training and planning the kids’ party. I tried to help however I could but I knew I wasn’t doing enough.It was no surprise that I left my hut two nights before the party and strolled over to Otis’s hut. “We’re sneaking around.” Lex laughed as I tiptoed closer to the hut. I scoffed, “Jeremy can be anywhere. I don’t want him to see me.” It was hard to believe that I, Alpha Raiden, was snaking around but thankfully, I got to Otis’s hut before anyone could see me. I knocked once on the wooden door and pushed the

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   139. Hello, Drama Queen

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~Otis’s power shouldn’t be undermined. With him accompanying me, I realized that the forest wasn’t as big as I thought it was. What wolves like me see and try to navigate is an illusion and it was made to trap us without leading us to the location of the hidden pack. That was brilliant and would come in handy in times of war.I still couldn’t understand why the white wolf lost to Black Fur during the Great War.“They didn’t know how to utilize their abilities in a war and maximize their resources. They were too kind.” Lex answered that question and I couldn’t argue with him.Regardless of my thoughts, we reached the cliff in no time, the darkness of the night shielding us as we began to dash through a much more familiar forest. At least for me. Otis followed my lead and surprisingly, he was able to keep up with my speed. As soon as I was close enough to the pack, I opened my mind and searched for my connection to Andrew. My mind was a bit rusty after almost a month

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   140. Alone, Again

    AURELIA~~The ceremony for Dakota ended three hours ago and everyone who attended should be asleep by now, resting up to get enough energy for the twins’ party which would be starting by noon today. However, I was unable to sleep. Katie and Kyle were sleeping in my bed, unaware of the small party they would be having. Although that kind of party Susanna and I were able to plan wasn’t what I envisioned for my babies’ sixth birthday, It would have to do. But that wasn’t what bothered me. What keeps me up is the fact that despite my effort to get back into the Seer realm and get more clarification, I’ve failed. The visions have been hunting my soul for the past three days and even though I tried to hide my worries, It was becoming obvious to Mia Lu and the others that I had no intention of telling them what I saw and how it would affect the pack at large. “Have you stopped to consider that perhaps you need to sleep well and eat just as well to succeed?” Inara grumbled within me.

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   141. In The Dark

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~“You are fucking crazy, Jeremy.”How I wished those words were mine but Otis beat me to calling Jeremy what he is– A crazy but highly observant man. He must have been observing everyone in this pack to ensure the survival of his kind all these years for him to have noticed that Otis and I were gone. “Susanna wouldn’t have made it easy for him to notice but he did regardless.” Even my wolf agreed with me.Susanna chimed with relief, “Oh, look. There they are. You were just being loud for nothing.” Jeremy’s face twisted into a frown and I knew he couldn’t believe his eyes. Truth was, we would have executed the plan and made Jeremy look like a foolish and crazy man who was obsessed with me if my mom wasn’t standing behind me.Yes, she followed Otis and me here because she didn’t want to miss the twins’ birthday and she was also excited about seeing Mia Lu again. Apparently, they used to know each other. “Well, you are not completely crazy, Jeremy. You were partially

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   142. Like Butterflies

    AURELIA~~“Happy Birthday!”This is the ritual. It has been for the past six years. I gather people the twins are familiar with and wait outside my bedroom door, In Tristan’s pack it was a mini apartment but here in the hidden pack, it was a wooden hut. Yet the ritual remains the same. We waited for Katie and Kyle to come out of the hut together, as I knew they would, and blurted those two words with bright smiles, warm hearts, and all the energy we could summon. However, unlike their previous birthdays, I wasn’t alone at the front of the familiar crowd. Raiden was with me and we stood side by side with outstretched arms. Katie ran into my arms and Kyle went to Raiden their faces reflecting their joy. Also, Iris who had tears in her eyes, stood behind me, her voice being the loudest as we collectively sang for Katie and Kyle. Iris could have passed for the happiest person today if Katie wasn’t squealing… Loudly.“It’s our birthday?” Kyle couldn’t believe it as he grinned from ea

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~I enjoyed every second with Katie and Kyle. I bathed them and brought out my first set of gifts which was a light blue ball gown for Katie and a nice brown two-piece for Kyle. My Mom helped me pick out these gifts and the twins loved it.“You look like a real princess, Katie,” Kyle exclaimed, placing his small hands over his mouth as he stared at his sister who was teaching me how to style her hair the way she likes it.Katie pouted, “I want to be a strong warrior instead but I can be a princess for today.” I quickly chirped in for clarity's sake, “Who says you can’t be both, darling? You can be the strongest Warrior Princess in the realm. It’s okay to love dresses even as a warrior, baby.”Katie’s eyes twinkled, “Really? I thought warriors couldn’t be princesses. Tristan used to–” “Princesses can be warriors and you are my princess, baby.” I cut in before she could say any other word about Tristan. He shouldn’t be brought up today. Not on my watch.“Alpha Princess

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   144. First Kiss

    AURELIA~~Gosh, I tried. I tried not to lose it on my kids’ big day but I couldn’t help it not when Raiden didn’t understand what he was doing and those he understood, he chose to manipulate me in those areas.“But she has been wanting one and I’ll provide a personal trainer who will help her train and keep her safe at all times.” Raiden defended himself. But that wasn’t enough. To be honest, the sword he planned to give Katie wasn’t the main problem, and gifting Kyle a personal library was thoughtful but how could he try to manipulate me while at it? That was what pissed me off. “I understand that you wanted to make the day special and I’m grateful that you are here with us–” “You don’t seem like it, Aurelia. I have to tiptoe around you all the time because I know you will explode in my face just like you are doing now even though all I did was present gifts to our kids on our behalf–” “You are manipulating me, Raiden!” I snapped as he was already pointing fingers at me.

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   86. A Good Sign?

    Princess Katie Anne~~“I won’t let them treat you like this.”I seethed as the tension around us thickened, even though the crowd was still cheering. Davien’s hold around my waist became tighter, and I knew he didn’t want me to lash out, but I had had enough of this.How could they treat him like he didn’t exist, even in a ceremony? Amber had a seat to herself, and so did Damien, who wouldn’t stop staring at me like the creep he was. His parents also dared to flash those false smiles my way, walking over to clearly show me to my seat.“Thank you for joining us, Princess Katie,” Alpha Jarrett uttered with a light voice, and cheers echoed through the hall as members of the Black Fur Pack jubilated.However, I wasn’t merry like the rest of them, and with every second that passed, it became harder to pretend.“Please sit, Princess.” As expected, Luna Cynthia pointed at the only empty seat on the higher platform in the hall.Zoe barked within me, “The audacity!”My wolf’s anger only fue

    DAVIEN~~“That can’t be,” Katie whispered as she staggered into the bedroom, her face pale and hands trembling.I picked up the bag Jade had dropped, followed Katie into our bedroom, and locked the door behind me.“She really is dead?” She asked me, horror etched into her stormy blue eyes.I nodded, shocked that Katie didn’t know that Aunt Jessica had died thirteen years ago. My mate collapsed on the bed, and I knelt before her, holding her hand and telling her to breathe.“To protect Katie and Kyle, Aurelia hid the news of Jessica’s death from them. I also don’t know the full story, but I am at fault because of the part I played. Larisa might have pulled the trigger that killed Jessica, but I put her in the position to get killed for my selfish desires,” Dolf said to me, taking on the blame even though we all knew he had nothing to do with everything that went down thirteen years ago.“You mean it’s all Tristan’s fault. You can’t take the blame, Dolf, and it wasn’t right for Jade

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   84: The Perfect Dress

    Princess Katie Anne~~Davien and I woke up late in the afternoon. While Davien had more than enough reason to sleep for as long as we did, I didn’t have any because—“You have more than enough reasons, too, Katie. Have you forgotten what Davien did to you before you both slept?” Zoe asked before shoving explicit images of Davien fucking me into my mind as if I didn’t live that memory a few hours ago.I turned red and threw the covers over my face while Davien went to answer the door. Fortunately for whoever was at the door, Davien and I woke up before he or she could disrupt the peace we worked hard to achieve.I wouldn’t have forgiven the person at the door if they had woken Davien, regardless of the reason.“Hey, Jade. Why are you here?” The familiarity and affection in Davien’s voice didn’t go unnoticed.Zuri chimed through the mind link, “I thought he said he didn’t have a friend here? Who is Jade, and why does he smell as happy as he sounds?”Call me jealous, but I was out of

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   83: Hard and Fast

    Princess Katie Anne~~My mate was struggling. I could sense that fact all through the night, but I had to pretend like I didn’t because I didn’t know how to help him. The second I opened my eyes this morning and saw his face, I knew he didn’t get enough sleep or maybe didn’t get to sleep at all.It was at that point that I knew I had to find a way to help him escape the demons that haunted him in his sleep. It’s only been a night in Black Fur, and he already looked like shit. I couldn’t let his family think for a minute that they were getting to him.“What if I take the memories away?” I blurted before I could stop myself.Damien, who had just rolled out of bed, stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me with his brows raised. “Huh?”“I don’t really know how, but I know Grandma Iris performed a trick that erased Kyle’s memories after he was rescued from Larisa. I can call her, ask her how to do it, and do the same for you so you can have peace, Davien.”I tried to explain to my ma

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   82: Favorite Son

    DAVIEN~~Of course, the right-hand side of the father. Of our father.Since we were young but old enough to understand power and the amount that came with being the pack's next Alpha, Damien had made himself our dad’s right hand, and our dad made it easier for him to do that since he was the favorite child.Usually, I would have chosen to sit at the foot of the table or eat alone, but since my dad was invited to dinner and asked to sit right here by my dad, I should have known Damien would have a problem with that.“He is so full of himself,” Dolf grumbled within me, almost showing himself and just how powerful he was, even though we had both agreed to keep him a secret for as long as possible.My family still didn’t know I had a wolf, and when they found out, I knew it would change everything. My brother would most likely see me as a threat for the first time since we were born.“Wait till they find out I am your wolf,” Dolf chuckled as Katie’s response to Damien echoed through th

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   81: Far From Home

    Princess Katie Anne~~Speaking to my family over the phone was new. I had never had to communicate with them through any form of technology, but since I was far from them and wouldn’t be able to use the mindlink, I had to settle for my cellphone, which I hardly used before now.“I have to go now, Dad. It’s dinnertime here, and it would be rude to keep the leaders of this pack waiting for me,” I said to my dad, who had refused to end the call.He wasn’t the only one who took ages before passing the phone to someone else. Every one of my siblings, except Kyle, who wasn’t with the family currently, wouldn’t let the phone go, and they also wouldn’t put it on speaker so I could talk to everyone simultaneously.My mom, being her sacrificial and understanding self, let the phone go after she made sure I was fine, but of course, my dad had to say, “I am sure they can wait. You are the princess, and you are talking to your dad. You know? The King?”“That’s just being cocky, Dad.” I laughed

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   80: Ferocious Cat

    DAVIEN~~My Ferocious CatGoddess! I was so right when I referred to my mate as that. She was everything a ferocious cat should be—meek, calculative, elegant, beautiful, and deadly. She could be a domesticated cat, but one should never mistake that for weakness, because she was naturally a wild one, even in bed.Yeah, seeing and hearing her insult Damien had my balls tightening. I could see the bear in me surfacing, ready to rip Katie’s clothes to shreds as soon as we got to our room—“This is your room, Princess Katie,” my mom announced, and I knew better than to ignore the fact that she called it Katie’s room and not OUR room. My mom confirmed that her choice of words wasn’t a mistake when she added, “You can stay in your old room after you help the princess settle in, Dave.”Katie was quick to say, “We will be staying in the same room, Luna Cynthia.”My mom smiled sheepishly and muttered, “There are many rooms in the mansion, Princess. You can have all the privacy you need, and D

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   79: My Birthright

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Next Luna?” A high-pitched, contentious voice struck my eardrums despite the cheers of the pack members, and just like that, my first opposition, who couldn’t hide her hate, stepped forward, standing confidently with her head high in the air.She stated, her amber eyes piercing my skull before they shifted between Alpha Jarrett and Luna Cynthia, “I believe that title is mine. It’s my birthright and—”“Now is not the time, Amber,” Alpha Jarrett scolded her, but that didn’t kill the flame in Amber’s eyes.Clearly, she didn’t respect him, and while I kept staring at her to see if I would recognize her from when I was younger, Zoe chimed into my mind, “Amber eyes, and she was named Amber. Her parents didn’t even try.”I didn’t get the joke, but somehow Zuri did, and she chuckled with Zoe, both of them effortlessly mocking Amber.“When will the time be, Alpha? The pack is gathered, and you just announced that a brat who left the pack many years ago, only to return

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   78: Next Luna

    Princess Katie Anne~~I could feel my heart racing even though I tried to hide it and control the rush of emotions that attacked my nervous system the second we drove into Black Fur pack.Somewhere at the back of my mind, I could see my younger self giggling as we drove out of Black Fur. I could see the big smile on my face because I was excited to leave the pack for the first time in my life.I recalled holding my mom and Kyle while my little mind rapidly took in the possibility of adventure that awaited us, even though I didn’t know half of the thoughts that were racing through my mom’s mind that day.I bet she was terrified that day, but she kept a strong face for Kyle and me. Now, it was my turn to be strong for Davien and my family.As Garrick drove the car towards the Alpha’s mansion, following Davien’s direction, I tried to look around, searching for some sort of familiarity, even though I knew recognizing anything or anyone from my childhood here would stir up my emotions.
