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.

    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

    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

    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.

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~The white wolves still feasted on the resources I brought from my pack for the next five days. The hunters were relieved and everyone could relax. Everyone but Aurelia and I, of course. The mother of my kids has been doing what she knew how to do best– Pretend like I wasn’t in her life. Aurelia has been avoiding me and that wasn’t new but what was new was how she had gradually become paler and she seemed to be avoiding everyone aside from the twins. It was almost as if her skin color was fading along with that of her hair. How I wished she would talk to me. But at least Katie and Kyle were talking to me and my mom was making herself at home with the white wolves. She looked more alive now and I couldn’t be more grateful–Fuck that. I could be more grateful If Aurelia would just meet my eyes or talk to me and let me in. She was driving me crazy.“Perhaps you shouldn’t have asked to kiss her,” Lex grumbled, watching Aurelia through my eyes as she followed Mia Lu a

    AURELIA~~The weight of the world crashed into me. My chest rose and fell in a way that made my chest hurt. My eyes stung but soon became blurry and the solid floor shifted underneath my feet. I was tired. I was drained of spiritual and physical energy but didn't know when to stop… when to stop trying to see more than the goddess had already revealed to me.Emotionally, I was drained and It was not surprising when I felt myself falling backward. In fact, I embraced the feeling and let myself go for the first time since I unlocked my powers as a Seer. “Aurelia!” Raiden. He screamed but that didn’t stop my body from crashing into a body of water that I knew was the purifying lake not just because I had been standing closer to it but because Its perfect temperature embraced me and it felt like I was home, once again. “Hey. I’m here.” Raiden muttered to me as he gathered my body in his arms, joining me in the lake. “You are alright.” It was hard to tell if he was reassuring hims

    AURELIA~~“He’s right. Moving into Dark Moon Pack will protect everyone and we can learn to become even more powerful physically.” I voiced in support of Raiden. I knew he was stunned by the way his body tensed behind me. He didn’t expect me to back him up, not after I called him a manipulator the last time he mentioned returning to his pack.“So we are supposed to trust him with the lives of our people?” I rolled my eyes and everyone else in the hut groaned, shutting Jeremy up. Mia Lu sighed as she started speaking our minds, “For once, Jeremy can you just stop? Alpha Raiden just tried to expatiate the same point you were making and he suggested a solution but you are against him? I know your intentions are pure, child but this negativity you hold in your chest has to go.” Jeremy grumbled but he didn’t dare make a comeback. Mia Lu shook her head before looking at Raiden and me. She sighed, “We appreciate your offer, Alpha Raiden and we will have a meeting to decide if we woul

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~She was staring at me with dreamy eyes.She was looking at me like I was her favorite snack and heck was she confusing me. Why would she look at me like that as she ate and make me want to be her food or her cutlery? Why would she–“She wants you, that’s why.” Lex spewed nonsense into my mind. I cautioned him instantly, “Please don’t start with me. I’m boiling up here and I recall how she ran away the last time I asked to kiss her.” Perhaps it was all just in my head. Perhaps she was just still sleepy and what she needed was space. I should take things slow with her. She hasn’t even taken me back or agreed to ever take me back–“In my opinion, you are too slow and you should close the space between you both not widen it. You are a fucking Alpha for goddess’s sake and Alphas have needs. Don’t be a puny, Raid.” Lex practically rolled his eyes in my mind, fueling the sudden hotness that was rapidly taking over my body. At that same moment, Aurelia rolled her tongue o

    Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~“Kyle found his mate?”That question was expected, so I wasn’t surprised when my mom blurted it out with shock and curiosity. What I didn’t expect, walking into the living room, was to hear Katie telling our parents what I had told her in confidence.Katie went still and pale as realization flashed through her eyes. She stuttered into my mind, “You haven’t told them?”I failed to contain my rage as I retorted, “Of course, I haven’t! Why would you even think that I told them?”“I suspected you wouldn’t tell them without informing me, but I was cornered. I was under the impression that you told them last night. They made me believe—”Before Katie could finish speaking through our twin bond, my dad voiced, cutting her off, “Is that why you decided to leave the pack and study in the human realm? What went wrong?”“You can talk to us, Kyle. Are you going to the human realm because she is too young and you couldn’t make it work, or do you plan to go with her?”

    Princess Katie Anne~~Walking around the pack didn’t help me clear my head; neither did it help me stop thinking about Davien. I desperately yearned to be with him, to apologize to him not just because I was in his mind but because of the hell he had to grow up in.“I feel so sad,” Zuri eventually broke the silent bubble she had popped around herself.Zoe, who had been pointing out how she was wrong since Davien ran out of the purifying hut, added, “Me too. I have been mean to him, and all of this happened because of me. I was pushy and unreasonable.”“You sure were, Zoe, but you had to. I believe this happened for a reason,” Zuri said to Zoe, comforting her even though that was the last thing I expected from her.Clearly, what happened with Davien had bridged the gap between my wolves and me, and I could only hope that this bridge wouldn’t collapse anytime soon. I mean, both Zuri and Zoe can be very unpredictable.“Still, I'm sorry,” Zoe apologized to Zuri and me.Her sincerity br

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Davien!” I called out as he ran out of the purifying hut with undiluted terror in his eyes. “Please wait, Davien.”I pushed myself out of the lake, ready to run after the man whose mind I had seen and now knew like the back of my own hands. I didn’t just have a small peek. I was in Davien’s mind long enough to have a glimpse of every memory he had stored.I still didn’t know how I did it, but I knew I saw him laugh a few times, and when I went deeper, I saw the real him. The young boy whose family failed him in all ways. I saw the real him, and my heart ached for him.My heart nearly ripped itself out of my chest when he screamed in the memory realm. Seeing him shake even in that space made me realize the kind of damage that had been done to his mind and soul.Fuck!Why was I in his mind?Before I could make it out of the lake, fatigue hit me like an enemy who was hell-bent on stopping me from going after my mate. Auntie Susanna caught me before I could lose

    DAVIEN~~At first, I thought nothing was happening because, despite how much the white wolves Gamma, Susanna, and a famous mind reader tried to instruct Katie, I felt nothing.Katie felt nothing as well.Until it happened.An electrifying sensation crackled between Katie and me, and before I knew it, my mind transitioned into a space that was completely out of the ordinary.It felt strange. I was both confused and curious, looking around for answers that seemed to be slipping out of my grasp. In fact, nothing felt familiar until my voice sliced through the thick, foggy air, invading my ears.“Mom, please,” I cried.I cried, but at the same time, the cry wasn't mine. I mean, I don't sound like that anymore. Over the years, my voice had thickened, but the voice that I heard at that point was soft.Soft yet recognizable because it was the younger version of me.“Please let me attend the party with you and Damien. I won't try to make friends. I won't disgrace you and Dad,” my younger se

    Princess Katie Anne~~"Open your damn eyes, Katie Anne." Zoe’s vicious voice snapped through my mind in a way that made me groan even though I was trying to pretend to be asleep.Even though I have been awake for the past ten minutes.I just didn't want to open my eyes—“That's because you can feel our mate waiting for you, Katie. He even went downstairs to get breakfast for you,” Zuri muttered so softly.She was such a lover girl, the opposite of Zoe, of course.“Whatever. Just get your ass up and get it to the purifying, but where we have to be to channel enough to go into Dolf’s memory,” Zoe chimed emotionlessly.Although she didn't say it, I knew she believed that Davien went to get breakfast for me because he was hoping I would change my mind about taking the trip down memory lane with him. She didn't have to say it. I have come to know that she would read meaning into every action, including the meaningless and harmless.“You should get up, Katie. I agree with Zoe on this one,

    ALPHA PRINCE KYLE~~As soon as dinner ended that day, my Ma and Pa chose to walk me to my bedroom even though they had a nighttime ritual they performed with Elora, Ronald, and Kennedy. My younger siblings weren't pleased they wouldn't have the attention tonight, but I wasn't delighted to be getting it either. I wanted to be left alone, but in this house, it seemed like I was asking for too much. “You can leave now, Ma, and you too, Pa,” I said to my parents as soon as I got to the front of my bedroom door. The walk from the dining hall was silent, and I knew they had many questions to ask me, but I wasn't in the mood to entertain them tonight. “You know I am not leaving, young man.” My Ma chimed, countering and walking past me to enter my bedroom.I looked towards my Pa for help, but he raised his hand and shrugged, saying, “I can't leave now, can I?” With that said, he also stepped into my room. I began to panic because I knew my Ma would make me break down before her in a

    DAVIEN~~After Katie decided to read Dolf’s memory the next day because she was tired and also had to join the family for dinner, I also decided to tell her about my father’s text tomorrow. It would be if she could read my memories too and find out that I wasn’t involved in whatever conspiracy my family was cooking.I would do that tomorrow. I promised myself, walking side by side with Katie into the dining hall, where I was welcomed with warmth and smiles.Elora asked me to sit by her side, and to my surprise, Ronald and Kennedy began to talk about having a date with me, individually and also together.It was a wholesome time until Luna Queen Aurelia exhaled, her eyes on Katie, who seemed to be focusing on her meal. “Your brother isn’t here again tonight, Katie. What is it you aren't telling us?”Katie tensed for a minute before she looked back at her mom and stated, “You worry too much, Mom. Kyle is fine, and I already told you I have nothing to share with you. You can ask Kyle y

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Go down memory lane with me, Katie, and if you can, let’s peek at the future while at it.”Dolf’s voice echoed in my mind, instantly resulting in a drop of my jaw, as I didn’t expect this conversation to lead us here. I thought he would be hurt, and Davien too. I knew I would be hurt if he were to tell me that he didn’t trust me, even though I had done nothing to earn his distrust.Hurt and anger were what I expected, but Davien was staring at me with those warm honey-brown eyes, and Dolf's voice was soothing in my mind.Dolf’s offer was tempting, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to do that.“And why on earth would you not?” Zoe’s voice resonated in my mind, leaving Dolf out of the conversation even though his consciousness was stirring within my mind as well.Before I could respond, Zuri chimed in, “Because if he is offering to do that, then he has nothing to hide, Zoe. We can’t keep hurting them just because of what someone in the past did to us. It’s not fair to

    DAVIEN~~“Experiencing the war so close and having two parents actively fighting a war that could have been avoided broke me. My mom returned bloody and in tears. She was wounded, but she didn’t care about herself because my dad was unconscious,” Katie said.Although this was not how the conversation started, we got to this point where she opened her heart and bore her soul to me. I moved to sit beside her on the bed, and I held her hands when I noticed how difficult it was for her to continue.I didn’t want to speak or interrupt her, but I still wanted her to know that I was listening and would always listen to her.“My dad’s condition almost tore us apart. Mom lost herself and could barely look at us. Kyle and I had to manage our feelings. I’m not blaming my mom for not paying attention to us then because I know how difficult it was for her. What I am saying is that although the entire realm felt the scorching wildfire of the war, my family and I were the closest to the flame.”My
