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
AURELIA~~Why? Why can’t I be happy? Why can’t my happiness last? Why does life have to keep kicking me in the gut, hard, like there was no one else to kick? This was becoming too much for me, and I no longer knew how to handle life. All I wanted was a kiss that would help me decide if I could choose Raiden and forget the past like it never happened. And to be honest, I almost believed we could be happy together when he touched my face and stared at me like I was the most beautiful and precious woman he had ever set his eyes on. He looked at me like he could see the moon in my eyes and smell heaven on my face… He looked at me like I owned him even though I had rejected him many times. Raiden looked at me and I loved it. I wanted everything he could offer. However, I was denied the satisfaction of taking him when I felt myself getting transported into the familiar realm– the same realm I had been trying to access so I could get a clearer glimpse of the visions– The Seer Realm
AURELIA~~“But there has to be something I can do to save him.” I cried to everyone in Mia Lu’s hut.It’s been a few minutes since I found out that Raiden knew he was going to die and I have been quiet until now. I whispered, facepalming, “I can’t let him die.” Otis who had just been listening since I entered the hall said to me, “Just like Lori said, we all have limits. As an elemental white white, I can manipulate nature but I can’t manipulate what isn’t there. If there is no sea, I can’t use water. If I’m in a desert, I can’t use trees.” “As a memory reader, I have my limits too. If I go too far, I’ll get lost in a person’s mind and my soul would never be found.” Susanna added, Within a minute, Lori chirped in, “Menders have limits as you know. We get tired after taking a person’s pain or wound and most importantly, once the soul leaves the body, we can’t return it. We can’t bring back the dead because that would mean giving our soul to the person. After all, we mend by givi
ALPHA RAIDEN~~She took me by surprise when she took my lips in hers. I sucked in a sharp breath and my hands froze beside me but Aurelia deepened the kiss, her hands around my neck. Despite the shock, my body responded to her touch almost instantly. I felt sparks on my face from where her fingers touched me and our lips.Oh, goddess, our lips molded perfectly but before I could get lost in the feeling, Aurelia broke the kiss. She stepped back, holding my gaze and looking at me like she was about to die from embarrassment. “I’m sorry.” She breathed softly, short of breath after the kiss. Why was she apologizing now? Aurelia whispered, “I shouldn't have done that–” “Now you regret kissing me?” I was quick to ask. Too quick, in fact. “No, no.” Aurelia shook her head. “I’m sorry for leaving and making you worry–” This time, It was my turn to shut her up with a kiss and Aurelia’s to be stunned. She was rigid against my body for a few minutes after I pulled her flush to my chest. He
AURELIA~~Aside from the feeling of embarrassment, I felt alive. I felt pure joy despite the odds against us. I knew what the future held but I wasn’t ready to accept what Mia Lu called fate.Raiden will live. I don’t know how but I’ll make sure my kids keep waking us up with kisses for many years to come. Katie was glowing and Kyle seemed to be less responsible which meant he was enjoying himself too.“About time,” Iris snickered when she saw Raiden and I approaching with the kids.I could pass for a very red tomato at this point. I was certain everyone in the pack already knew that Raiden and I spent the night together in the same hut and on the same bed. The elders might understand the need for the sudden change but Iris was just having fun. To be honest, I never want her to know about my vision. I’ll save Raiden.“We’ll save him,” Inara confirmed, believing in us even though we were both clueless. “It’s good to have you both join us.” Mia Lu began. The adults in the pack we
ALPHA RAIDEN~~For a pack of small people, moving was hard. It took more than the days expected to pack up and destroy the huts. Otis and other Elemental wolves left the pack with me last night to create a safe path for the people to pass from the hidden pack to my pack. Mia Lu and Lori were busy draining the purifying lake even though they had explained that they only needed a small quantity to create a new purifying lake in my pack when they arrived, I still didn’t understand why they were getting rid of the body of water. Jeremy and Ross were in charge of making sure nothing was left behind and they checked every corner of the hidden pack after the people had gathered, ready to begin the journey to my pack that evening. If we travel fast, we should arrive before the next morning but considering the kids with us and the loads, we might not reach my pack until tomorrow night.Once again, I couldn’t bring cars from my pack to move the white wolves because cars would attract unw
AURELIA~~I would have argued confidently if anyone had told me I would be relieved to step into Dark Moon Pack after I vouch never to return and this is not just because the pack is better. It’s the atmosphere… it’s so much better and something about the change made me feel at ease. We have been here for two days and the white wolves are settling into their apartment building. For some of the younger ones who were born and raised in the hidden pack, having to live in a proper building with proper toilets and other necessary amenities seemed surreal but they have been adapting. The twins and I have spent most of our time in the white wolves building, helping them settle. Iris was also devoted to that mission and a few of the members of Dark Moon Pack have visited the building to welcome the white wolves to their pack. “It’s been going well if you ask me.” Inara chimed into my head as I listened to Mia Lu and Lori talk about how they needed to turn the nearest lake into the new
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I knew she would be mad at me. I haven’t been communicating with her since we arrived and even though I noticed that she wasn’t in the mansion when I got home this morning for the first time since we arrived in the pack, I couldn’t approach her in the morning. There was something urgent that needed my attention. Being away from the pack for over a month was a good vacation but it did come with consequences that I had to deal with and that hasn’t been easy as I had to interrogate Jake in hopes of getting information from him. Anything that could help us prepare for the war.I haven’t slept in two days neither have I been around anyone other than Andrew, a few elders of my pack, and a very weak Jake. Andrew definitely knew how to make him suffer without killing him–“Why would you want to move in with us?” Aurelia asked softly, looking at the ground to hide her red cheeks from me. I shoved thoughts of the war and my piled-up assignment to the back of my mind and s
DAVIEN~~This was very weird. I’m not one to step forward in a crowded hall and offer to help a Princess in pain. That could have been Damian, my twin brother, but not me, and everyone who knew me because they were close to the family or part of my family could testify to this. But here I was, holding the ‘Princess Katie’… the very one. She was known for many things.Her strength. Her confidence. Her beauty. Her sharp tongue. Her hot temper. But most importantly, her lack of wolf. Everyone in the realm knew that, and she had been labeled the only noble wolf without a wolf. However, that wasn’t entirely true–“How is his temperature on your body, Sweetie?” Alpha King Raiden asked his daughter, who had buried her face in my belly while I was lost in thought. The Princess opened her eyes, blowing me away with the stormy blue eyes that she was known for. I could see the wide sea in her eyes and the wide sky as well. However, I could also tell that she wasn’t stable at the moment.
Princess Katie Anne~~I was burning up from within and all I could do was scream. Soon enough, my parents were beside me and as I teared up, I saw Cole’s parent with him as well. My Dad gathered me in his arms, rocking me like he used to do when I was seven. “You will be alright, Sweetie. We are here.” He whispered into my ears, sitting on the bare floor of the grand hall even though he was the King… Yes, I was his daughter so I was more important to him.“What’s happening to her Ma?” Kyle cried out. “This can’t be because of the rejection. She doesn’t even have a wolf.” I could feel my brother’s worry through the twins’ bond and the urge to reach out to him and assure him that I was fine was strong, but not as strong as the force splitting me into two equal halves. How do I know it was equal halves? I could tell.. Somehow. I screamed again… and again… and again.I nearly missed my mom’s statement as pain dulled my mind, but thankfully, I didn’t, “It’s happening, Tamia. Lori
Princess Katie Anne~~“There’s something I have to tell you, baby…” My Mom breathed into my ears as we held each other and moved to the soft rhythm of the song. She still calls me baby. I was one of her eighteen years old baby. That brought a smile to my face.Also knowing that she was about to apologize to me for Dolf made the smile widen and I was about to tell her that I didn’t want to think about Dolf now... It was almost midnight…. I was almost eighteen. Like Elora said, it was a new era and the pain and anger of Dolf’s death shouldn’t go into the new era with me. However, my mom started talking again, “I know you have been challenged many times within these past two years, and as much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I also have to warn you so you can be prepared.” I shook my head, “No, Mom… Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know what you saw–” But I also wanted to know. Yet, I was terrified. Her tone terrified me. “I would be a bad mother if I didn’t tell you, ba
Princess Katie Anne~~The eighteenth birthday of every wolf had always been unique. Even more than the sixteenth birthday when we got to have wolves– I was the exception; the only one in the entire Royal Dark Moon Pack.As expected, the grand hall where we have celebrated many wins since my parent moved us into our home, had been decorated with designs that suit the taste of not just me but also my twin brother. I don’t know how Mom does it but every year, she manages to fix a theme that satisfies both Kyle and me for our birthdays– Oh, I know how she does it. She is a Seer and a mind Reader after all. I couldn’t hold that against her though. I mean, thanks to her abilities, Kyle and I have always had the best birthdays, only compared to our siblings' birthdays, in the entire realm. And as always, I noticed guests from far and wide in the realm of the hall. My eyes lit up and I didn’t even know Elora had left my side as I saw my amazing uncles from Moon Stone Pack and of course,
Princess Katie Anne~~“You are a special girl…” Everyone tells me that. But it was exactly two years ago when I found out that everyone had been lying to me.In fact, I was just Katie Anne, the wolfLess Princess of the Werewolf Realm, not to forget the fact that I was the daughter of two powerful wolves, Alpha King Raiden and Luna Queen Aurelia Seer King. Being the daughter of the woman everyone thought was the last white wolf until she proved otherwise, found her people, and saved the realm from a witch and– argh! Being the first daughter of Aurelia Seer King was supposed to actually make me special but no. I was pathetic and an excuse for a daughter. Growing up, I used to think I would grow up to be a badass like my mom. I thought I would be able to fight, heal, fix, and bring peace to people’s hearts. I thought I would fill my mother’s shoes but I had come to realize that her shoes were too big for me. Perhaps Elora would one day fill our mother’s shoe–“C’mon Katie. You have
AURELIA~~After a few minutes of racing toward my daughter, who didn’t have to tell me where she was because I made use of my senses to find her, something she would have hated if Dolf’s life wasn’t on the line, I found her and Dolf lying in the middle of the forest.I didn’t have to ask Katie to know that she had woken up earlier than our training tie to race with Dolf.“Mom…” Katie cried out, violently moving her long black hair out of her face as she bent over Dolf’s body.The wolf’s eyes were still open but his heart rate was slow. I didn’t have to touch him to feel how weak he was. He shouldn’t have been racing with Katie.“What happened?” I asked both Katie and Dolf.Katie and Dolf have an unexplainable connection. My daughter was the only one who could talk to Katie through her mind despite showing little to no spiritual energy even after her sixteenth birthday.Katie and Dolf could speak through a mind link that no one else could access. I discovered this by accident when sh
AURELIA~~I couldn’t find her anywhere in the house. That was strange. Usually, she wakes me up and forces me into training with her but today was different and for many years now, I have been dreading change. The tiniest change spooked me because I knew the peace we have been enjoying for over a decade in the realm could be tainted by the smallest change.With ease, I glided down the stairway that I become familiar with. Raising five kids within these walls and living within it for almost eleven years simply means, I know every nook and cranny of it.But leave it to Katie to make me feel like a newbie in my own home.Thankfully, I ran into Kyle when I stepped into the living room. I sighed as I opened my arms to accommodate his much bigger, taller, and muscular frame. Ten years of growth did that to my baby. He was now a fully grown man– huh, not entirely. He was still just seventeen years old but he was taller than me and his muscles were bigger than mine even though he reluct
ALPHA RAIDEN~~The birth of Andrew’s child made me a godfather. I was elated and together, we threw another big party. I remember the sad days were I could only think of finding Aurelia or getting her and the kids back. Days were I couldn’t celebrate. But now, I could do that without hesitation.“What’s her name?” Kyle asked after Susanna and Andrew brought their daughter to their home and my family and I visited them. Susanna and Andrew exchanged looks and they announced simultaneously, “Camila.” I was sitting beside Aurelia, whose tummy was getting bigger by the day and I could tell she was about to gush over the cute name Andrew and Susanna chose for their baby while we have been unable to agree on names for ours.But before Aurelia could speak, Kyle stunned us all by saying, “Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.”If it had been Katie who said those words, we wouldn’t have been surprised as our daughter was a social butterfly but Kyle who would rather keep his thoughts
AURELIA~~Five months ago, I told my mate about the existence of our growing pups. Five months ago also marked the beginning of a celebration that would only end after our growing pups were born. Raiden had announced this to the entire pack after he finally left my side two days after I told him about the pregnancy. Within these five months, I had discovered that my mate could be even more clingy, more affectionate, and more… more everything that showed that he had grown to become the mate I needed and most importantly, the father our kids deserved. Also within these five months, several meetings have been held within our pack. The Alphas of every pack in the realm have visited many times to discuss the proposal that states to have Raiden and me as the King and Queen of every wolf in the realm. Seth, who was navigating the water with Phoebe, suggested this and surprisingly, everyone was okay with it and a week ago, a date was chosen for the official coronation that would install
