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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~ I haven’t visited the apartment building the white wolves have been occupying since their arrival four days ago. I thought today would be a good day to visit them because Aurelia was going as well.“You are obsessed.” Lex mocked me.I corrected him with a smile on my face, “We are obsessed.”On a more serious note, I needed to be with the white wolves for the creation of the new purifying lake and also know why none of them showed up for physical training like we initially agreed before leaving the hidden pack. The smile on my face fell when we entered the general living room in what I would like to call the white wolves’ pack house and we found almost every one of them gathered to form a circle around someone who I not Aurelia could see from where we were standing. “What’s going on?” Aurelia asked with concern as she struggled to push past the people. No one seemed to notice Aurelia, hear her question, or acknowledge her struggles as they murmured, focused on w
AURELIA ~~ Mia Lu was down. Before I left the white wolves’ building I got to see Lori dress Mia Lu up in the same flowing green dress that I saw in my vision and she was carried into her room which was decorated just like I saw in my vision. Nothing changed. The future I saw was already happening and nothing, not even a single detail, changed. That terrified me and even as I left the building after leaving my kids with Iris who said she would be staying there for a few days, I felt my heart racing as eight words kept flashing through my mind “The future is here and it’s not changing.” Those words reminded me of my goal. The need to change the future and now that Mia Lu was down, I wouldn’t know how soon the war I saw in my visions would break out. It could be tomorrow or the next week– Raien could die soon. Oh goddess, no! “What are we doing, Relia? We have to have a solid plan. We can’t keep going with the flow.” Inara was also panicking within me. We were both lost
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
DAVIEN~~“Do you want to become wolfless because I can make that happen with a flip of my fingers?” Damien turned white at the five-year-old prince’s threat, and I had to hold back my laughter while Prince Kyle growled at my twin brother. The only reason my parents shunned Damien was because they were still trying to hide the fact that I was wolfless from the royal family. Imagine that. Hiding something from this kind of family? Impossible! However, my parents didn’t know that yet, and I also didn’t want them to discover that I was no longer wolfless. My Dad fell on his knee before the royal family and cried out, “I apologize for my son's shortcomings. Please forgive them, your majesties.” “Your sons? I see just one with a lot of shortcomings, Jarrett, and I can’t forgive anyone who speaks down on me, even if the person is about to be family.” Alpha King Raiden seethed, controlling his rage like a pro. It was then that I realized that I was about to become part of the royal
DAVIEN~~I still couldn’t believe that I was sitting beside her.Not just because she was the princess, but because she was my mate. The Princess of the realm was my mate, and I was talking to her even though she seemed to be lost in thought at the moment. Should she even be thinking right now? I mean, she just fainted a few hours ago and her health was fragile–“Is that worry I hear in your thought?” Dolf asked rhetorically, causing me to sigh. “What are we going to do, Dolf?” I asked my wolf. The whole idea of having a wolf still seems unreal. “I can tell you, but you have to figure this out yourself,” Dolf responded, proving that he was indeed a wise wolf spirit. “I’m flattered, Davien but I must ask you—do you want this? Do you want Katie as your mate, me as your wolf, and this new life that has been shoved down your throat?”I scoffed audibly, and Princess Katie’s gaze shifted to me. Although she didn’t say anything, I could tell that she had a whole lot to say. Maybe not
Princess Katie Anne~~I was used to having men in my life fighting for me, but seeing the boy from Black Fur do the same against his brother brought about a different feeling that I wasn’t familiar with. His words echoed in my head: “You do not talk to my mate like that.”I could have sworn I had heard my dad say the exact words, but the effects were different because this time I was the mate and the man speaking those words was mine.“So you want him now.” Zuri chimed with amusement. I would have smiled if I didn’t see Davien’s twin brother rushing to land a hit on him. Energy surged within me, and I pushed myself off the bed, running to stand between Dvaien and his twin brother. Goddess was I fast. My speed had always been incredible despite not having a wolf, but the level I tapped into now was more than the word incredible could describe.I caught Damien’s fist in the air even though my mate had bent over to dodge the impact of his brother’s punch. Damien’s eyes widened, bu
