Hi! Happy October! I hope we are ready for what this month has in store for us. Get ready to be shocked (no spoilers😅). Thank you for reading. Love, Kiki.
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
AURELIA~~“Oh, Luna Aurelia. You are back.” I heard that voice as soon as I opened the door to the apartment. My eyes found Maya, Nina’s daughter, standing beside the couch Susanna was still lying on even though it had been hours since I left for training without her. As if Maya could read my mind, she etched with concern, “My mom asked me to bring food to Miss Susanna but Miss Susanna here has refused to eat.”Goddess, Susanna. For how long is she going to starve herself? “Are you seriously doing this to yourself, Susanna?” I asked gently as I moved towards the couch even though my entire mind was on the box underneath my bed… the box I had long forgotten. I sat beside Susanna and said, “If I didn’t know any better I’d think someone died or you got rejected by–” “Are you saying I’m overreacting?” Susanna muttered, still hiding her face as she snuggled on the couch. I sighed and decided to choose my words carefully from now on. “No, Suzy but you are limiting yourself. The pac
ALPHA RAIDEN~~After hours of torturing Jake, he revealed the locations of Nolan’s warehouse where he has been hoarding modern weapons that would help us during the war if I could get my hands on them. I instantly sent men to the various locations, hoping Larisa hadn’t emptied the warehouses before my men arrived. “I’ll be back tomorrow for more and I hope you won’t make it difficult for the both of us,” I said to Jake who could only groan in response before I left the pack’s holding ground.I felt flirty after leaving so I went straight to my mansion where I freshened up, Ignoring Otis and Andrew who were still in my house, sadly. However, they weren’t drunk. In fact, they were making dinner. I was invited to join them but I declined because I wanted to have dinner with Aurelia who I hadn’t seen since we parted earlier today. I missed her. So much.“Tomorrow is a new day and I expect the both of you to pull yourselves together and show up,” I said to Andrew and Otis. “And get
AURELIA~~When I woke up a few hours later, a part of me felt at peace but a bigger part of me beat me for falling asleep right after I picked up the mysterious journal I found within the white shade’s box. I found myself in bed with Raiden who was fast asleep until I tried to slip out of his hold. His hoarse voice resonated through the room as his hand tightened over my stomach, pinning me to the bed, “It's still a few hours before morning, Aurelia.”“I need to open the journal. I didn't do that before I dozed off.” I whispered to Raiden, believing that was enough reason for him to let me go. However, Raiden chimed, “That can wait till morning. What you need is sleep.”“Raiden—”“I know you wouldn't have fallen asleep if you weren't scared of what you would find in the book. You fell asleep. Use the opportunity to recharge before going back to the past.” Raiden said to me, snuggling against me. No doubt, I was scared and Raiden was right. I fell asleep while worrying about the
AURELIA~~To people that don't know how the white wolves operated and managed the hidden pack, I could come off as an overreacting bitch who feels entitled. But I wasn't.I knew how Mia Lu and the other elders held their history dearly. They used to hold classes for the kids just to teach them the history of the white shade pack. Mia Lu used to gather everyone on a field just to tell them stories about the white shade pack while the scribes would write these tales in journals, and keep them safe in the hut library where Kyle had spent most of his time during our stay in the hidden pack.Knowing this is why I was certain that even the kids in the pack would have seen the photograph that Kyle claimed was similar to the one I was holding and even though the kids couldn't connect the dots, the grown-ups would have known. Yet they all chose to keep it to themselves even though I asked them if they could help me find my parents. I asked the elders in particular and they all lied to my
ALPHA RAIDEN~~From where I was standing, I could feel a million and one thoughts flashing through Aurelia’s mind and see countless emotions glinting in her blue eyes which had become darker than usual. Of course, I couldn’t understand everything because I wasn’t with them when many of these issues went down at the hidden pack.But I could understand Aurelia’s pain–“All this while?” Aurelia stuttered, tears brimming in her eyes. “ All this while she knew I was family?” Susanna could only nod as she sniffled back tears and took her eyes off a distrust Aurelia. Aurelia clearly had more questions to ask but she didn’t utter a word until I saw a twinkle of realization in her eyes. It was as if she had it figured out without questioning the white wolves. She confirmed that when she said, “The last Seer was the Luna of the pack and she was Mia Lu’s goddaughter. Luna Elora Seer King.” That name rolled off Aurelia’s tongue with pain and a slight draw. “She was Elena’s daughter. Elena
LARISA’S POV ~~ “That’s impossible!” I yelled and the five Black Fur warriors before he trembled. Yes, they were terrified. They were scared of me. As they should be. After all, I'm their Luna. Their powerful Luna who they wouldn't want to cross. I could turn them into a quick snack with the flip of my fingers. I could end their lives because I was that powerful now. Mating with Tristan and using his life force to fuel my powers have been fulfilling. I might have entered this pack as a prisoner but now? Now I was the ruler. And this ruler is pissed. All five of them stuttered, “Apologies, Luna Larisa—” “Shut the fuck up!” I seethed, rising from the golden throne that was recently made for me and placed right beside Tristan’s throne. “I gave you simple instructions. How could you have returned empty-handed?” “We searched for the exact locations. Luna but we couldn't find the warehouses. There was nothing on the land—” “That is impossible,” I repeated. My father's wa
ALPHA TRISTAN~~“You should take your leave.” The he-wolf who smelled like a strong gamma seethed at me. “She doesn’t want to see you.”Although I had been standing by the border of Dark Moon Pack for hours, I intended to remain there until I got to see Aurelia. “C’mon, Gamma Seth. You know we mean no harm.” Louis, who had officially resumed his duties as my Beta after I was reinstalled as Alpha, said to the strong Gamma. “This is a peaceful visit.”I simply listened as my Beta negotiated with the Gamma, feeling more like Louis was the Alpha. I would be lying if I said I haven’t felt useless these past few days. After regaining consciousness, I found out that Louis had become more influential, not only in my pack. Obviously. “Your ego is bruised?” Dolf mocked me. But his assumptions weren’t exactly the case. I just couldn’t wait to get back my strength and become myself again. “This isn’t about your intention, Beta Louis. It’s about my Alpha and Luna's wishes.” The Gamma answer
AURELIA~~Perhaps it was anger or hate, I couldn’t tell. Or maybe it was both. I was angry that Tristan was back to his feet even though I permitted Lori to send some Mender to Black Fur Pack to help him after Beta Louis took the oath, signed the peace treaty, and pleaded for help. I was so angry that my mate had to fall and Tristan got to rise again even though he didn’t deserve it.And for the hate, it was simple– I hated Tristan.Although my hate for Larisa was greater, Tristan wasn’t far from being another Larisa to me–“Talking about that bitch. She has had enough peace, don’t you think? It’s time we pay her another visit.” Inara snarled into my mind, fueling the hatred in my heart. My wolf had taken a hobby in tearing Larisa apart since she had become our prisoner– one that I wasn’t ready to kill just yet. Each time we pay her a visit in her cell, we torture her until death flashes before her eyes, leave her to healers to heal her, and return to start the process all over
AURELIA~~Life was different now. Before the war, I simply trained to get better and increase our chances of winning, but now, I am the leader of two packs and have more duties than I could have imagined. Life was different but one thing remained constant– my life was difficult.“Are you with me, Luna?” Andrew’s voice called me out of my self-pitying thoughts. I blinked rapidly, composing myself despite my desire to just go home, be with my kids, and–“Do you want to take the day off? I can handle the pack affairs while you recuperate.” Andrew offered and Seth who was sitting on the chair beside him nodded in agreement.But to be honest, I have rested enough. It’s been two months after the war and while a lot still needed to be fixed, the pack was recovering better than I thought it would, thanks to the help I have gotten from both sides– White Shade and Dark Moon.Andrew and Seth have been helping with Dark Moon’s affair and the elders of the White Wolves have been very helpful
ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~As my eyes fluttered open, I could have sworn that my body had forgotten what it meant to be alive. Opening my eyes was harder than it should ever be for anyone but adjusting my eyes to the brightness around me was way harder than opening them. I let out a groan when I tried to lift a finger and pain consumed me. My entire body ached. I felt so heavy.“Alpha. You are awake.” Louis. That was his voice but it sounded more like noise to me as his voice sent a sharp ring through my aching head, making me groan again. At the moment, I didn’t feel like an Alpha. It took forever before I could see clearly and Louis's face was the first thing I saw. He was hovering above me, looking at me like he was scanning me for damages. “Thank the Goddess. I was beginning to worry that you might never wake up–” Louis stated, smiling. But seeing him so close to me sent flashes of what I knew was the past through my mind. I recalled everything. How he joined forces with Laris
aryAURELIA~~“We can’t give up like this, Relia. You shouldn’t give up like this. Mend him. Do something.” Inara uttered, urging me even though Raiden was gone. Do something… I couldn’t count the number of times I had heard those two words today and I hated the sound of it, mostly because I couldn’t do anything. “Yes you can, Alpha.” Tamia’s voice echoed in my mind. I didn’t know how she managed to reach me despite the turmoil my mind had become but she did and her voice would have given me some sort of peace if I wasn’t mourning my mate… My teary eyes found Tamia and Lori beside me, making me wonder how long I had sat in the dirt with Raiden’s body. For how long has his heart been crushed right there in my presence? For how much longer can I keep this devastating news from my kids–“Oh, my kids.” I cried out, undiluted misery settling within my being, making itself at home. They just got their father. How do I tell them it would be just us from now on? How do I manage this
AURELIA~~I knew I screamed. I felt my lips parting and my lungs pushing out air as my mouth widened. I knew I screamed but I heard nothing. The world went still while Raiden kept falling. Faster than my brain could register. Faster than my body could react. Although I was still standing, I fell with him. Although my eyes were still open, they closed the second his eyes did. I saw the same darkness he saw when he closed his eyes. I felt the same pain he felt when his heart was engulfed by a strong force and maybe I screamed because I knew there would be no going back as that force crushed his heart before I could even blink. “No!” Inara’s cry burst through my crushed soul as she exclaimed, “Do something, Relia.” But what could I have done? After draining Larisa as my wolf suggested, I didn’t expect any sudden movement from her. Heck, she was as good as dead and when Louis screamed those warning words, I was too tired to react quickly. Converting Larisa’s dark energy to pure
ALPHA RAIDEN~~It took seeing Larisa and Aurelia in a fight for me to realize that I was wrong to assume that I could take down Larisa just because I was the most powerful Alpha in the realm… Physical strength was no use against Larisa because she had soaked my soul in dark energy. She wasn’t even touching me and I was feeling pain despite floating in the air like gravity had decided to take a break.Sadly I realized that I was of no use in this war. In fact, I was merely a weak link that Larisa wanted to use to defeat Aurelia and have her way in the realm. I was trying so hard not to scream and came off as a powerless puny before my exhausted mate and my warriors but this pain was eating me alive. It was everywhere. Digging deep into me. I have been trying to block the pain from getting to Aurelia as I could tell that she didn’t need that right now. If I couldn’t contribute power, I shouldn’t add pain either.But of course, that wasn’t easy to achieve. I could feel the pain slip
AURELIA~~Raiden’s scream was heard by every warrior. I could feel every one of our friends and pack members freezing for a moment as we all understood that for an Alpha; in fact, the strongest Alpha in the realm; to scream like that, hell was coursing through him. We all understood. I, as his mate and Luna, knew even better because the second the hell burst out within him, I felt it burning me from within and it was only a matter of time before I let out a scream of my own. “You dare not, Relia.” Inara’s voice echoed, breaking through whatever Larisa was doing to Raiden which was affecting me greatly as I tried to keep the spiritual link between me and the warriors open. If those links should close, they would all die as they would be no match for Larisa’s fortified warriors. “It hurt. I’m burning from within and–” I cried to my wolf even though Phoebe was still right behind me, healing me and Otis keeping me out of sight.“Do you know why she is coming at you hard?” Inara as
ALPHA RAIDEN~~My feet couldn’t carry my body weight fast enough as I ran through the forest, noticing how deserted my pack was. Those pack members who were not in the hall with Mia Lu were with Aurelia on the battlefront where my body was literally yanking me toward.I was on high alert and if I was being honest with myself, I would admit that I wasn’t in my right senses but how do I even think when all I felt was the urgent and dying need to be with Aurelia? It was like a pull.The kind of pull a mate should feel only when his mate is in grave danger. The kind that makes a man’s heart bleed and every nerve in his body go out of control.Yes, I was losing it. I had lost it from the second I regained consciousness and felt the strange burn on Aurelia’s mark which was sitting on my neck.I woke up with the need to get out. To break free and get to Aurelia even though my kids were in the hall and beside me. The second I saw Mia Lu stagger due to exhaustion, I ran and hadn't stopped
