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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~The next morning came with a feeling that I had never experienced before. I woke up with a big smile on my face and the smile became bigger when I opened my eyes and saw my kids, sleeping soundly on my chest. I didn’t know how I got to be in their middle but Katie was on one side and Kyle on the other. Their little fingers were on my heart and never have I felt so blessed. Aurelia wasn’t in the room when I woke up and my first instinct was to leave the bed and look for her but I allowed myself to enjoy the moment with my kids. I held them longer before leaving the room to find Aurelia by following her strong scent. Aurelia smells like a lot of things at the same time. She smelled like love. Like fresh flowers. Like a bowl of vanilla. Like home. Her scent had always had effects on me but now that I was no longer under the spell of you know who, I was beginning to appreciate everything about Aurelia more and her scent had become stronger since she started training
AURELIA~~We met with Iris in the pack’s general dining hall where the pack usually comes together to dine on special occasions such as the arrival of other packs to participate in the games; the reason I returned to the pack in the first place. I thought I was stupid for coming here with my kids after a series of events. I thought I was better off staying in Black Fur but now I knew better. The moon goddess has a twisted way of making me suffer only to make me tougher and happier. I was happier now that I knew better, now that I knew who Tristan really was, and why my journey through life had to happen the way it did. I probably wouldn’t have tapped into my abilities If Larisa hadn’t bewitched my man and made me leave. I most likely wouldn’t have known why Raiden turned out to be a nightmare of a mate if I hadn’t returned to Dark Moon. Also, I wouldn’t be enlightened spiritually if my crazy journey didn’t lead me to the white wolves even though Larisa thought she had eliminate
AURELIA~~The party started well and even though I was tired from planning all day, I was happy to be there. Organizing a party is just as stressful as training either physically or spiritually and for someone new to the task, I did well.Although I intended to learn from Iris not because I was certain Raiden and I would get to the level where I would have to take over and become his Luna fully but because I was willing to try and put all the effort into what Raiden and I were building.When the party started, the white wolves arrived together and they all chose to occupy the empty seats on the right side of the hall, leaving members of the Dark Moon Pack to sit on the other side. But after an hour of fun group games, the two parts were beginning to mix and relate. Raiden was sitting with me. Otis and Susanna were also at the same table with us. Andrew wasn’t here yet as he had to run an errand for Raiden and I had noticed the respectful manner Raiden’s pack members were treating m
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Now this was unexpected.The tension between Otis and Andrew was thick enough to resist the sharpness of a sword. It was a miracle that the people were still having fun and relating well or maybe it was all thanks to the delicious meals that the servants served everyone. Aurelia’s magic, if I must say. “There’s no hope for these two. I thought they would be best of friends after the way they related with each other on the two occasions they met.” Lex said to me, keenly looking at Otis and Andrew through my eyes. Andrew and Otis really hit it off and I was scared they would one day gang up on me to pull my legs but now, with Susanna in the picture, that was no longer a possibility. Despite Aurelia’s absence, the party ended well. Aurelia didn’t return to the hall so I had to take the closing address alone before everyone returned to the homes. Otis tried to join the white wolves as they moved towards the exit. “Not you, Otis. we’ve to talk.” I said to him. Jerem
AURELIA ~~ Susanna and I didn't make it to the bedroom after we left the party last night. Although Katie and Kyle didn't make it home at all. They followed Iris, spending the night with her in the white wolves’ building. I woke up that morning and wasn't surprised to see Susanna sleeping soundly on the second couch in the living room. I had spent the night on the biggest couch. Of course, neither of us had enough sleep since we were up most of the night, discussing Susanna’s situation. I could feel her dilemma in my bones like I was in her shoes. However, regardless of how short our night was, the second I woke up and realized it was morning, I moved over to Susanna, tapping her arm lightly. “Wake up, Suzy,” I called her softly. She grumbled, trying to shake me off, “I don't want to.” “Training starts soon, Suzy. We have to train.” I argued even though I wanted nothing more than to fall into bed. Susanna whined without opening her eyes, “I don't want to leave th
DAVIEN~~The day had just begun, and I was already unsure of how the rest of the day would turn out. Waking up to find Alpha Prince Kyle in my mate’s bed was only one of the unexpected surprises, and I must confess that feeling Katie’s lips on mine was my favorite unexpected incident.Her lips molded against mine like they were my long-lost piece. Instantly, my lungs gave way to a deep groan, and my hands itched to touch this bold woman. I had never felt like this with any woman.If I were being honest, I would say I had never kissed a woman before.Yes, this was my first kiss, and as Katie pressed her lips against mine, I feared she would discover that I was inexperienced. Would I be seen as man enough if I didn’t live up to her sexual expectations?What are her expectations, and on what experiences are they based?Could she have—Focus, Davien!I scolded myself. A first kiss should be memorable, so I should burn this moment into my memory.Slowly, I let my hands sneak all the way
Princess Katie Anne~~“What happened between you both?” I asked Davien after Kyle slammed my bedroom door like a child.“Nothing much.” Davien shrugged and bent down to pick up the duvet and pillow on the floor. My brows furrowed, another question swelling in my mind even though he still hadn’t answered the first one I asked him. But he did eventually, saying, “He just made me realize that I have a lot to get used to around here.”Although I didn’t understand what he said, I blurted, “You slept on the floor?”Davien nodded, and I exclaimed, “Why? Did I ask you to?”I couldn’t stop myself from wondering if I did that before I fell asleep last night.“You didn’t ask me to sleep on the floor, Princess Katie. I chose to sleep there because I assumed I was still a stranger to you even though we share a bond. You didn’t know me until yesterday. I had to respect your privacy.” Davien answered rigidly, addressing me with my title even though I had already told him not to.I didn’t know how
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE’S POV~~“What the hell do you think you are doing?”I yelled as soon as my back hit what I knew was the hard floor and my eyes fluttered open to see Davien standing over me, his hands tight around my ankles.“Why would you even do that?” I seethed.But in spite of my anger, he didn’t seem remorseful, not even when he turned on the light bulb in the room. My eyes were heavy with sleep, but I blinked rapidly to keep them open, staring at my sister’s mate, who stood above me with a glare etched on his face.“Why are you in bed with her?” Davien, or whatever his name is, spat that question in my face. I was too exhausted for this.I didn’t get a wink of sleep until I got in Katie’s bed, and no, it wasn’t hunger that kept me up. It was the thought of having to wait six years to claim my mate or have any intimate relationship with her.I couldn’t sleep because of my thoughts, but Katie’s scent had always comforted me, and since I couldn’t crawl between my Ma and Pa, it
DAVIEN~~To my surprise, Katie led me up the stairs to the third floor of the palace after openly rejecting Cole for the second time and hopefully for the last time because I couldn't stand the sight of that guy.We all knew Cole.He had been a boy since he was little, which explains why he and Damien immediately got along. Those two have been friends for as long as I can remember. My brother would travel all the way to Cole’s pack to spend time with him but never walk down the hallway to say hi to me unless he needed my help.“You don’t have to worry about Cole, Davien. My uncles will make sure he never shows up in front of me, and as soon as Kyle hears about this, he will track him down and bury him alive just to keep him away.”Katie muttered, chuckling sweetly as she spoke about her brother, whereas I was just thinking about my own brother, but not so sweetly.I pushed my family discourse aside and focused on Katie, with whom I will build a new family. A better one, in fact.“I
Princess Katie Anne~~Gosh! Can this day end already?Like I was fucking exhausted. What I needed right now was some peace and quiet, and I thought I would be getting that after dinner with my family, but he just had to show up.“That asshole,” Zuri seethed within me, emanating a kind of rage that I didn’t know a white wolf like her could access. She heard my thoughts and scoffed in my mind, “I’m a white wolf, not a stupid one.”“I beg to differ,” Zoe chided, initiating another session of bickering.However, I stopped them both before it could escalate: “I do not need this right now. You either help me get rid of this idiot, or I ask my mom to put a solid and unbreakable wall between our minds.”I might not know how to do that on my own, but with a little help from my mom, my wolves would be shut out. Somehow, my wolves inherited the fear I had for my mom. Although I don’t show it often, that woman terrifies me sometimes because I know just how powerful she is.“But why get rid of
DAVIEN ~~ Dinner back home was usually quiet, and even if anyone had anything to say, it would be about Damien’s latest stunt and my dad's stressful day. Most times, I skip eating with my family, and they never force me to make an appearance unless we had guests joining us. However, dinner with the royal family was different. The long table in the dining hall was the longest I had ever seen in my entire twenty years of living. I tried to count the number of people in the hall, but I kept losing track and had to start over as the kids moved around.“They are all family?” I whispered to Princess Katie... I mean just Katie as I pull out a chair she led me to and help her get comfortable. “Yes, Davien,” She laughed, saying my name like it was part of her favorite melody. “Everyone in the pack is family, but these are my closest.” “Closest? Seriously?” I asked deadpan. There were almost thirty people in the hall, and they all had a seat at the long table. The royal family got the se
Princess Katie Anne~~ If anyone was looking at me, he or she wouldn’t hesitate to claim that I had been sitting in silence for many hours. I was beside a man who turned his family away just so he could stay with me.However, I was sitting in everything but silence. Inside, I was anything but silent.The thoughts and voices of two distinct yet similar wolves raced through my mind like whirlwinds. The discussion might not be happening between Davien and me, but it was definitely going on between Zuri and Zoe.It all started when Zuri said to Zoe, sarcasm dripping into my mind as her cool voice bounced off the walls of my thoughts, “You still think he is a wimp? Did you see how he stood up to defend us? I’m beginning to question your decision-making ability.”“Um, you mean I’m dumb?” Zoe asked with disbelief. “And you, who didn’t question a bond, are the smart one?”“Not to brag, but I do believe I should be the decision-maker between us both. You are hotheaded and—”“Don’t even fin
Alpha Prince Kyle In that instance, time froze, and my body did too, not just because my mate growled into my mind with conviction, “Mate,” but mostly because the conviction Rio had initially turned into confusion as we both stared at the person whose scent invaded my nostrils like never before.“T-that’s impossible.” I stuttered and staggered backward, unable to believe what was happening. “She can’t be my mate. She can’t be our mate, Rio.”I shook my head, pleading with the moon goddess to rescue me from whatever this was.I thought I was ready to find my mate. Well, until this minute. Until my mate turned out to be her—the least expected person.“She’s the only one in the library, Kyle. It’s her, and you know it.” Rio said to me, sounding just as confused as I was, even though we both knew life was about to get difficult.Did I say things happen easily for me? Well, not anymore.The familiar sweet vanilla scent mixed with the welcoming scent of books filled my nostrils again.
Alpha Prince Kyle’~~I was no spiritual guru, and when I say that, I also mean that I wasn't really into the spiritual stuff that most of my family members enjoy. In fact, all but Katie and my Dad and perhaps Ronald. Also, I wasn’t so into the physical stuff like Katie and my Dad, and again, maybe Ronald—the little man is still juggling between both worlds and trying to find his footing. It was safe to say that I was the weirdest one in my family, but I didn’t feel weird or odd. I fit in. But to me, Davien didn’t fit into his own family. Not a spiritual expert or an energy expert, but I could sense the bad energy and vibe among the four members of that family. “For one, his brother is an idiot. Ma should have let us rip his head off.” Rio hissed.Although I was more of a diplomatic person who loves peace, my wolf can get a whole lot crazy when he is pissed, and Goddess knew he was pissed earlier when the dumbass brother of Katie’s mate tried to say shit about her."Plus, his mo
