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–”

    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

    AURELIA~~It just happened. Saying those words to Raiden just happened. Blame it on the chemicals zapping through my brain after I was officially accepted into the pack of white wolves as their leader. Blame it on anything but me.“Shut up, you horny she-wolf.” Inara let out a wolfy giggle, mocking me as I thought about what happened yesterday.“That statement of yours describes you and you alone, Ina,” I said to my wolf but before we could continue bantering, Mia Lu cleared her throat, asking for my full attention.“Am I boring you with the history of our people? Knowing the history will help you connect better to your root–” Mia Lu started explaining. I quickly corrected her assumption, “Not at all, Tamia.” She had asked me to stop calling her Mia Lu just like everyone else and I knew I loved the sound of her full name anyway. “Although I have read most of the history in my mom’s journal, I find it interesting.” “The same journal you have refused to show me?

    AURELIA~~I stepped out of the bathroom, smelling like roses and fresh out of a milky bath that made me feel like a newborn. Although Katie and Kyle were still in the room, I saw Maya standing by the bedside mirror.My daughter answered my silent question when she said, “It’s time to style your hair, Mom. Maya is here to help.” Kyle rushed to pull out the chair for me and I kissed his forehead as a reward. My little man blushed before returning to his sister’s side. “Thank you for doing this, Maya,” I said to the sweet teenager. “It’s always a pleasure, Luna,” Maya responded. She applied hair product to my hair before blow drying skillfully. After minutes of silence, Maya muttered, “You’ve beautiful hair, Luna. The color keeps blowing my mind even though the white wolves have been staying in the pack for weeks.”I thanked Maya again. As soon as she was done curling my hair and combing it into bouncy curls, she breathed, “We’ll leave you to get dressed.”“Papa got a dress for you

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~My heart wasn't beating.It was racing. Racing so damn fast and with every second that passed, I feared I would do something stupid and embarrass myself before Aurelia who seemed to be composed. How she achieved maximum composure was something I obviously needed to learn—“Perhaps she would lose it too if you are in that dress and have that hair—” Lex groaned into my mind. I could rip that dress off even though I have been dying to see her in it since I picked it up yesterday. I could rip it off because as much as seeing her in it kills me, the thought of seeing her without it sent me to the deepest pit of hell and all I could feel was pleasure… or at least the thought of it.“Everything okay?” Aurelia asked innocently after we both settled in my car and I didn't turn on the engine.I breathed, praying to the goddess that she wouldn't notice the bulge in my pants, “Sure.” I wouldn't want her to think all I wanted this time was sex. I craved more from her but she

    AURELIA~~It's either time stopped or I froze as Raiden’s last choice of words rang in my head. Marriage?Susanna should be the one in this dilemma, not me. Marriage was the last thing on my mind even though I have come to love Raden differently. In the past, I loved him because of the bond and because he was my Alpha but now? It was different. I loved him because I chose to. But I haven’t told him that–“But you told him—” Inara began talking, about to mention the moment Raiden and I shared in the white wolves building after Tamia made me the leader.I quickly interjected, “I know what I said, Ina, but marriage? There is a war and the vision—”My chest rose and fell in a way that made it ache and hard to breathe without wheezing. Raiden placed his hand on my shoulder when he saw I was struggling to understand his words.He muttered, “You don't have to respond—”“First date but I got a marriage proposal,” I spoke before Raiden could stop me.

    AURELIA~~“Argh….” I screamed in agony, holding my head in my two hands as it felt like it would be splitting into four unequal and messy parts any minute from now. I felt like pins have been poking my brain for hours. Nonstop. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I gritted my teeth.I tried to fight back but I was useless against the force that was poking my head, dissecting my memories, and using the pain I felt in the past to break me in the presence. “You son of a bitch.” I cried again and again. But all I got was a dark chuckle, “Daughter of a bitch would have been more accurate but I don’t mind having some balls so I can fuck your mind–” “Shut up, Susanna!” I yelled, crying out loud as pain shook my body.But again, Susanna laughed, enjoying every bit of my agony. After the proposal that Raiden and I agreed to keep between ourselves for the time being, Susanna made me pay for breaking her on the training ground. She broke my mind repeatedly and even though we have been traini

    DAVIEN~~I have come to love the dark.The darkness that covers a room as soon as the light goes off, or the darkness that envelops my consciousness when I close my eyes and shut the world out.I have come to love the dark, unless I have to go through the pages of a newly acquired book, of course. Thankfully, I didn’t have a newly acquired book to read at the moment. If I had one, it would have been harder to just lie still and shut the rest of the world out.“You can’t lie here forever and ignore the fact that she is expecting you back home. You must be feeling her pain and regret through the bond, Davien.” Dolf’s voice cut through the layers of darkness that I had embraced.Sadly, my wolf was the only living being that I couldn’t completely shut out.Maybe Katie would have been in the same category as Dolf if we had completed the mating ritual. To be honest, in this very moment, I was glad the bond between Katie and me remained new and fragile.It would have been harder to lie st

    Princess Katie Anne~~What has happened to us—the Seer King Flockhart family?Yes, we had troubles in the past, but none of those troubles had created this kind of mess because we always found our way back to each other.But right now, as my mom stared back at Kyle, whose privacy she had breached, I could tell that we might never find our way back to each other. Kyle was shaking with anger, and my mom, who had also realized that she had made the wrong move and broken Kyle’s trust, was frozen on the spot.I, on the other hand, didn’t know what emotion to settle on—anger, pain, worry, or the one that was eating me away but that I still couldn’t name.Although I didn’t take my eyes off Kyle, I could feel my dad’s confusion as he stood there, torn between his son and his mate.“Why would you read my memories, Ma?” Kyle hissed, his voice low and disrespectful.My mom put on a bold face and replied, “You left me no choice, Kyle. I had to know what we were dealing with—”“You didn’t have

    Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~“Kyle found his mate?”That question was expected, so I wasn’t surprised when my mom blurted it out with shock and curiosity. What I didn’t expect, walking into the living room, was to hear Katie telling our parents what I had told her in confidence.Katie went still and pale as realization flashed through her eyes. She stuttered into my mind, “You haven’t told them?”I failed to contain my rage as I retorted, “Of course, I haven’t! Why would you even think that I told them?”“I suspected you wouldn’t tell them without informing me, but I was cornered. I was under the impression that you told them last night. They made me believe—”Before Katie could finish speaking through our twin bond, my dad voiced, cutting her off, “Is that why you decided to leave the pack and study in the human realm? What went wrong?”“You can talk to us, Kyle. Are you going to the human realm because she is too young and you couldn’t make it work, or do you plan to go with her?”

    Princess Katie Anne~~Walking around the pack didn’t help me clear my head; neither did it help me stop thinking about Davien. I desperately yearned to be with him, to apologize to him not just because I was in his mind but because of the hell he had to grow up in.“I feel so sad,” Zuri eventually broke the silent bubble she had popped around herself.Zoe, who had been pointing out how she was wrong since Davien ran out of the purifying hut, added, “Me too. I have been mean to him, and all of this happened because of me. I was pushy and unreasonable.”“You sure were, Zoe, but you had to. I believe this happened for a reason,” Zuri said to Zoe, comforting her even though that was the last thing I expected from her.Clearly, what happened with Davien had bridged the gap between my wolves and me, and I could only hope that this bridge wouldn’t collapse anytime soon. I mean, both Zuri and Zoe can be very unpredictable.“Still, I'm sorry,” Zoe apologized to Zuri and me.Her sincerity br

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Davien!” I called out as he ran out of the purifying hut with undiluted terror in his eyes. “Please wait, Davien.”I pushed myself out of the lake, ready to run after the man whose mind I had seen and now knew like the back of my own hands. I didn’t just have a small peek. I was in Davien’s mind long enough to have a glimpse of every memory he had stored.I still didn’t know how I did it, but I knew I saw him laugh a few times, and when I went deeper, I saw the real him. The young boy whose family failed him in all ways. I saw the real him, and my heart ached for him.My heart nearly ripped itself out of my chest when he screamed in the memory realm. Seeing him shake even in that space made me realize the kind of damage that had been done to his mind and soul.Fuck!Why was I in his mind?Before I could make it out of the lake, fatigue hit me like an enemy who was hell-bent on stopping me from going after my mate. Auntie Susanna caught me before I could lose

    DAVIEN~~At first, I thought nothing was happening because, despite how much the white wolves Gamma, Susanna, and a famous mind reader tried to instruct Katie, I felt nothing.Katie felt nothing as well.Until it happened.An electrifying sensation crackled between Katie and me, and before I knew it, my mind transitioned into a space that was completely out of the ordinary.It felt strange. I was both confused and curious, looking around for answers that seemed to be slipping out of my grasp. In fact, nothing felt familiar until my voice sliced through the thick, foggy air, invading my ears.“Mom, please,” I cried.I cried, but at the same time, the cry wasn't mine. I mean, I don't sound like that anymore. Over the years, my voice had thickened, but the voice that I heard at that point was soft.Soft yet recognizable because it was the younger version of me.“Please let me attend the party with you and Damien. I won't try to make friends. I won't disgrace you and Dad,” my younger se

    Princess Katie Anne~~"Open your damn eyes, Katie Anne." Zoe’s vicious voice snapped through my mind in a way that made me groan even though I was trying to pretend to be asleep.Even though I have been awake for the past ten minutes.I just didn't want to open my eyes—“That's because you can feel our mate waiting for you, Katie. He even went downstairs to get breakfast for you,” Zuri muttered so softly.She was such a lover girl, the opposite of Zoe, of course.“Whatever. Just get your ass up and get it to the purifying, but where we have to be to channel enough to go into Dolf’s memory,” Zoe chimed emotionlessly.Although she didn't say it, I knew she believed that Davien went to get breakfast for me because he was hoping I would change my mind about taking the trip down memory lane with him. She didn't have to say it. I have come to know that she would read meaning into every action, including the meaningless and harmless.“You should get up, Katie. I agree with Zoe on this one,

    ALPHA PRINCE KYLE~~As soon as dinner ended that day, my Ma and Pa chose to walk me to my bedroom even though they had a nighttime ritual they performed with Elora, Ronald, and Kennedy. My younger siblings weren't pleased they wouldn't have the attention tonight, but I wasn't delighted to be getting it either. I wanted to be left alone, but in this house, it seemed like I was asking for too much. “You can leave now, Ma, and you too, Pa,” I said to my parents as soon as I got to the front of my bedroom door. The walk from the dining hall was silent, and I knew they had many questions to ask me, but I wasn't in the mood to entertain them tonight. “You know I am not leaving, young man.” My Ma chimed, countering and walking past me to enter my bedroom.I looked towards my Pa for help, but he raised his hand and shrugged, saying, “I can't leave now, can I?” With that said, he also stepped into my room. I began to panic because I knew my Ma would make me break down before her in a

    DAVIEN~~After Katie decided to read Dolf’s memory the next day because she was tired and also had to join the family for dinner, I also decided to tell her about my father’s text tomorrow. It would be if she could read my memories too and find out that I wasn’t involved in whatever conspiracy my family was cooking.I would do that tomorrow. I promised myself, walking side by side with Katie into the dining hall, where I was welcomed with warmth and smiles.Elora asked me to sit by her side, and to my surprise, Ronald and Kennedy began to talk about having a date with me, individually and also together.It was a wholesome time until Luna Queen Aurelia exhaled, her eyes on Katie, who seemed to be focusing on her meal. “Your brother isn’t here again tonight, Katie. What is it you aren't telling us?”Katie tensed for a minute before she looked back at her mom and stated, “You worry too much, Mom. Kyle is fine, and I already told you I have nothing to share with you. You can ask Kyle y
