Oh, the kind of life Aurelia would have lived if her parents didn't die…. Thank you for reading❤️
AURELIA ~~ “She loved me…” I thought as my eyes took in the last words in the first part of my mother’s journal. She loved me and she was certain my father would too. Tears laced in my eyes while her words floated around my mind, creating a sense of familiarity that I never knew I would feel as long as my parents were concerned. I held the journal to my chest, inhaling deeply as I let the words sink into me, even though I was curious to read the next part which she promised would be about my father’s joy when he finds out about my existence. Gosh! “She seems like a lovely woman. I feel like I know her even though it’s only been a few pages.” Inara whimpered within me and heaven knew I felt the same. I whimpered, wiping my tears before they could fall on the pages of the journal that not only made me feel emotional but also somehow made me feel whole for the first time in days… “I have more pages, Ina. We can know them both and feel connected to the pack even though we ne
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Somehow, I found myself in Andrew’s home even though I planned to return to Aurelia and spend the day with her after taking my bath. Initially, Andrew and I were called by Seth to one of the behest storage rooms in the pack where we found out that Jake’s information about Nolan’s warehouse was helpful. We got the weapons before Larisa could empty the warehouses. We also got some modern appliances from other realms without having to go through Alpha Clinton.I appreciated the warriors who made this possible and the white wolf trackers that went with them. But after we sorted out every weapon and appliance that was brought in, Andrew pulled me to the side and said, “Can you please have dinner with me, Otis, and Susanna,” “Why would I want to be there?” I asked immediately, ready to reject his invitation because I could tell they were having dinner together to talk about the love triangle issue.“Because I need you to back me up,” Andrew confessed. “See, I like Otis
AURELIA~~Every day, I made sure I read at least five pages from my mother’s journal and I learned a lot about her, my dad, my grandparents, my grandparents, and Mia Lu who was still sleeping peacefully in her room. The more I read, the less angry I become. I had started relating with the white wolves again but there was still a bit of tension among us all. I was working on that as we have been training together for the past week. The Dark Moon warriors have become familiar with the military techniques of Black Fur. It would be an added advantage if the war breaks out before I find a way to stop it from happening and also because no one outside the Dark Moon Pack knew I was alive. They have also gotten used to fighting alongside the white wolves who have also become stronger physically. There was still so much to learn and everyone was keen to learn… to become stronger. Everyone but me…. In a way.I mean, I still haven't tried to tap into my strength as a descendant of the Kin
AURELIA~~Lori met us at the entrance of the building, her eyes pleading with me. I knew she was about to apologize for keeping the truth from me as I hadn't seen her since Raiden carried my unconscious body from the building weeks ago… I haven’t been here since I transitioned and–“She’s in her room. We will be here in case you need anything,” Lori changed her mind about the apology and I was grateful. Susanna and Otis also nodded, assuring me that they would be there waiting for me. If I had a choice, I would have asked them to come to Mia Lu’s room with me but this was something I had to do alone. I nodded before leaving the trio. My steps were slow but soon enough, I was in front of Mia Lu’s bedroom.“Are you really ready to face her?” Inara asked me as I was taking too long to open the door to Mia Lu’s bedroom. I responded to my wolf, “I have to be. I can’t keep myself away from her. She is family and I know she must have a way to help me save Raiden.”Whether I like it or
AURELIA~~Pulling myself together was hard but I did after many minutes of awkward silence and I faced Mia Lu confidently.I choked on my words as I questioned, “W-why? Why did you choose to lie to me?”To get rid of the anger knitted in my heart, I needed to know.If that was tears in Mia Lu’s eyes, I couldn’t be sure because her natural eyes had been glinting and captivating ever since she opened them, just like how her skin was glowing and her hair, flawless. I could tell she was fully recharged even though she hadn’t slept for months as we all expected.However, I was able to confirm that she was truly crying when she started sniffing as she responded, “Because I didn’t want you to feel responsible for all these people. You almost died, Aurelia. Imagine what happened to me when I saw your unmoving body… Imagine how hard it was to not lose control of my emotions and tell you the truth the second you regained consciousness. I wanted a better life for you–” “But you shouldn’t hav
ALPHA TRISTAN’s POV~~I don't know what was but something was wrong with me…. Fuck that! A lot was wrong with me. I sensed the difference weeks ago yet I have failed to figure out what exactly was different. I felt weak yet never have I felt this strong. In control but utterly out of control. Wise but absolutely stupid. “Tool you this long to figure that one out.” Wolf would have made such a snarky comment if he hadn't been unbearably silent for a couple of days or was it weeks? I don't know. But I knew he would have said something like that to me just to call me out.All of a sudden, I missed Dolf’s constant yapping. I missed how he used to irritate me with his nags even though he knew I wouldn't listen to him. Dolf never gave up on me… until now.These days, I find myself getting lost in my damn thoughts. I find myself thinking about nothing but every damn thing at the same damn time. For instance, I was supposed to be going through the stack of papers on my office desk.
LARISA’S POV~~What I will give up just to get back at Raiden….No. Raiden has become a smaller fish in the sea of power whose waves I yearned to control. Even Tristan has become nothing but a chess piece on my chessboard. The plan to take Tristan out was already in motion and while he tries to recover from how I use his energy, I have been planting seeds of either fear or forced respect into the important pillars of his pack. Tristan wouldn't be able to stop me from taking over and ruling this realm with or without a mate by my side.I mean who cares about mates? The stupid version of me who was actually in love with Raiden did care about him becoming my mate but this new me would sacrifice anything to be the only one in charge. I laughed contentedly as I strolled along the corridors that led to Tristan’s office as I recalled his failed attempt to change my mind about fueling my power with the fetus's life force. “If I could use my wolf’s and my destined mate’s life force to be
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Two days after Mia Lu woke up, the purifying lake was established by the white wolves and I was with them to grace the occasion even though the creation of the lake wasn’t exactly a festival.After the lake had been created, we all returned to the white wolves’s pack house where Mia Lu asked everyone to gather in the large living room. She stood before them all with Aurelia beside her and for the first time since I met Mia Lu, my brain registered the resemblance between Mia Lu and the woman I loved. I thought the white wolves shared similarities and perhaps that was why my brain didn’t register the resemblance between Aurelia and Mia Lu until now.The space was silent until Mia Lu started talking, “It’s no secret that I have asked every one of you to keep a secret that isn’t ours to keep.” The white wolves hummed in agreement. I could see appreciation and adoration in the eyes of the ones closest to me as they gazed at Aurelia. I didn’t know how good that felt until
Princess Katie Anne~~I almost couldn’t believe that Davien had no experience.Yes, he was that good. With his tongue. His fingers. His lips. Hell! He was that good.And he paid attention to every reaction. Every movement that made me moan or got my back off the bed. He would do that same movement and focus on that same angle just to make me feel good, but he didn’t overdo it.He sucked when needed. Bite me tenderly when needed. Grabbed my breasts and fondled them through the soft material of my nightwear.“Oh, fuck!” I cried out, and my legs began to shake right after Davien pinched my taut, aching nipples as he bit my sensitive, throbbing clit simultaneously.“You like that, don’t you?” Davien breathed, his breath tickling my cunt before he ran his tongue over me like I was his favorite ice cream flavor.How was I supposed to respond when he did that, earning a loud moan from me?“Use your words, Cat.” Davien breathed once again, and as cringy as that pet name sounded, it worked f
DAVIEN~~The smell of her strong desire found me in the depths of my subconscious and woke me up effortlessly. It was a natural reaction of a male to his female's desire, but while I knew that, I didn’t expect Katie to say those words without blinking.“I want you between my legs, Mate.”Fuck!I had never understood the concept of desire. At least, not until now.I had seen Damien with many women and even heard him with them, but I had never thought of taking any woman to my bed. Not that they wanted me anyway. They always went for the better twin, and I wasn’t. Sadly.Also, while I had seen my fair share of pretty women, I had never felt drawn to them, even when I tried.However, with Katie, it came naturally.My member hardened within a twinkle of an eye, and my body burned to hold her closer. Katie's words kept echoing in my head, pouring gasoline on the indescribable desire that woke me up in the first place.I groaned in response, and Katie scooted closer, her hands on my face
Princess Katie Anne~~I had no reason to doubt my mate anymore. Huh, maybe I do, but I have chosen to trust him and see where what we have takes us. I have also forgiven Dolf for choosing to leave me because that's what I needed to heal and move forward with Davien.“Speaking about moving forward, Katie, I believe it’s time to complete the mate bond with Davien,” Zuri chimed into my mind while my eyes lingered on Davien’s peaceful face.He was sleeping soundly beside me even though I couldn’t, as I was worried that the path he had chosen would hurt him. Just yesterday, he had taken the first steps toward deceiving his dad, and now we were waiting for Alpha Jarrett to respond to Davien's text.In a few hours, the sun would take its place in the sky, and I hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep—“What Zuri is trying to say is that you should consider taking Davien’s pants off, grabbing his cock, and riding him—,” Zoe began, explicitly explaining what Zuri had said.If I was close to falling a
DAVIEN~~I would be lying if I said my heart didn’t skip a beat when I first heard these words: “We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”However, seeing the way Katie reacted and stood up for me warmed my heart. She would have stood by me if I had said no to her parents. She wouldn’t have called me weak or pathetic. That was reassuring, and it helped me realize that I was in a safe place.That’s why I have chosen to accept this assignment.After all, saying no to my dad’s demands for information would be a very dangerous move. He wouldn’t be as cool-headed as the royal family. I thought to myself, “This is the best side for me to be on.”“We know this will be hard for you, Davien, which is why you can always back out,” Alpha King Raiden said before he even began to explain what I would be doing as a two-way spy.“I want to do this, King Raiden. I won’t back down until we contain the situation,” I uttered confidently.How I wished my heart
Princess Katie Anne~~“We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”My mom’s words pricked my soul like poisonous needles.“She has got to be kidding,” Zuri was quick to blurt.Zoe, on the other hand, stifled a groan. “They all have got to be kidding. We should keep him away from those who traumatized him, not push him toward them.”I completely agreed with my wolves. This was bizarre, and from the look on my dad's, Auntie Susanna's, and Beta Andrew’s faces, I could tell they knew about this plan as well. This was the assignment Davien had been anxious about.Although my mate tried to hide the fact that he was nervously waiting for my dad to tell him what the assignment would be, I didn’t fail to sense how fast his heart was racing through the bond.Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought my parents would want Davien to be a spy… to spy on his own family.Even though they had hurt him in the past, they remained his family. The best thin
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~Breakfast was jolly.Every member of my family was smiling and chatting happily. It felt good to see them happy, but that didn't stop my heart from pounding with every second that passed.“Seems like we aren't the only nervous ones around the table,” Rio muttered to me, urging me to look at Davien.The deep frown on Davien’s face was enough to know that he was worried about the assignment my Pa said he had for him. I wouldn't be worried if I were him because Pa wouldn't put him in charge of anything he couldn't handle.On the other hand, I wasn't certain I could handle saying the right words when I had to reject Camila. I tried to do it alone in my bedroom, but I was scared I would say the wrong words and wouldn’t be able to undo it.So I decided that I would do it before my family. Of course, my younger siblings wouldn't be there—I didn't trust Ronald not to lose his newly acquired cool if he somehow found out that rejecting his best friend was my way of
DAVIEN~~Every time I felt like I was understanding this family, they shocked me without trying. This morning, it started with a family duel. If that was normalized in my family, Damien and I would have killed each other, and maybe my dad would have ended my life long ago.I didn’t know what to expect when we got to the field behind the palace, but when the duel began, I realized that it was more of a fun bonding time than a violent moment.At least, that was what I believed as we cheered for Ronald and Kyle. However, that belief shifted when the tip of the wooden sword with Ronald tore Kyle’s skin enough to cause bleeding.The fun was sucked out of me even though I saw Ronald smiling genuinely for the first time in days. My eyes widened when Kyle launched another attack that seemed more intense than the previous ones.Yet, every member of the royal family cheered them on.“He is going to hurt him, Katie. Shouldn’t we stop this? I think it has gone too far,” I whispered to my mate
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE’S POV~~Despite thinking for the past two days, I still couldn’t come to a conclusion. Clearly, I had to break the bond between Camila and me, or more appropriately, I had to pause the bond. That was the best option.Yet I couldn’t seem to accept it.Instead, the bond was fighting against the thought of pausing it.However, it was only a matter of time before my family, including extended family like Camila’s parents, began to pester me. With that knowledge in mind, I forced myself out of bed that morning and decided to participate in the morning training with my family.Usually, we train on the field behind our home. Just us. Once a week.They were surprised to see me walk out through the back door, but they quickly pulled themselves together. At least everyone else did, but Ronald didn’t. My brother glared at me, burning deep holes into my head.He was such a good friend. Right?“We better have a talk with that one soon,” Rio said those words to me, and I could
Princess Katie Anne~~“Rejecting Camila is the best solution.”Auntie Susanna’s words echoed around us all, and my heart clenched painfully for Kyle and Camila.Her statement brought about questions, one being, “How is that the best solution?”Although I was too dazed to spark or ask questions, my mom wasn’t. She kept a straight face as she asked, “What do you mean, Suzy? We are looking for ways to prevent the kids from hurting. The pain of rejection is ten times worse than the pain of separation, Suzy.”Right? How on earth does rejection make sense?Even Uncle Andrew muttered, “That’s too extreme, Susanna. Camila’s wolf spirit could get hurt, and that would affect her. She might never get a wolf or shift if Kyle rejects her, and Kyle’s energy would also depreciate, which means he would become less worthy to become the next ruler.”We all looked back at Auntie Susanna, but as her lips parted, Kyle etched, leaving no room for argument, “I won’t reject her. I can never do that to her.
