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

    Princess Katie Anne~~“I won’t let them treat you like this.”I seethed as the tension around us thickened, even though the crowd was still cheering. Davien’s hold around my waist became tighter, and I knew he didn’t want me to lash out, but I had had enough of this.How could they treat him like he didn’t exist, even in a ceremony? Amber had a seat to herself, and so did Damien, who wouldn’t stop staring at me like the creep he was. His parents also dared to flash those false smiles my way, walking over to clearly show me to my seat.“Thank you for joining us, Princess Katie,” Alpha Jarrett uttered with a light voice, and cheers echoed through the hall as members of the Black Fur Pack jubilated.However, I wasn’t merry like the rest of them, and with every second that passed, it became harder to pretend.“Please sit, Princess.” As expected, Luna Cynthia pointed at the only empty seat on the higher platform in the hall.Zoe barked within me, “The audacity!”My wolf’s anger only fue

    DAVIEN~~“That can’t be,” Katie whispered as she staggered into the bedroom, her face pale and hands trembling.I picked up the bag Jade had dropped, followed Katie into our bedroom, and locked the door behind me.“She really is dead?” She asked me, horror etched into her stormy blue eyes.I nodded, shocked that Katie didn’t know that Aunt Jessica had died thirteen years ago. My mate collapsed on the bed, and I knelt before her, holding her hand and telling her to breathe.“To protect Katie and Kyle, Aurelia hid the news of Jessica’s death from them. I also don’t know the full story, but I am at fault because of the part I played. Larisa might have pulled the trigger that killed Jessica, but I put her in the position to get killed for my selfish desires,” Dolf said to me, taking on the blame even though we all knew he had nothing to do with everything that went down thirteen years ago.“You mean it’s all Tristan’s fault. You can’t take the blame, Dolf, and it wasn’t right for Jade

    Princess Katie Anne~~Davien and I woke up late in the afternoon. While Davien had more than enough reason to sleep for as long as we did, I didn’t have any because—“You have more than enough reasons, too, Katie. Have you forgotten what Davien did to you before you both slept?” Zoe asked before shoving explicit images of Davien fucking me into my mind as if I didn’t live that memory a few hours ago.I turned red and threw the covers over my face while Davien went to answer the door. Fortunately for whoever was at the door, Davien and I woke up before he or she could disrupt the peace we worked hard to achieve.I wouldn’t have forgiven the person at the door if they had woken Davien, regardless of the reason.“Hey, Jade. Why are you here?” The familiarity and affection in Davien’s voice didn’t go unnoticed.Zuri chimed through the mind link, “I thought he said he didn’t have a friend here? Who is Jade, and why does he smell as happy as he sounds?”Call me jealous, but I was out of

    Princess Katie Anne~~My mate was struggling. I could sense that fact all through the night, but I had to pretend like I didn’t because I didn’t know how to help him. The second I opened my eyes this morning and saw his face, I knew he didn’t get enough sleep or maybe didn’t get to sleep at all.It was at that point that I knew I had to find a way to help him escape the demons that haunted him in his sleep. It’s only been a night in Black Fur, and he already looked like shit. I couldn’t let his family think for a minute that they were getting to him.“What if I take the memories away?” I blurted before I could stop myself.Damien, who had just rolled out of bed, stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me with his brows raised. “Huh?”“I don’t really know how, but I know Grandma Iris performed a trick that erased Kyle’s memories after he was rescued from Larisa. I can call her, ask her how to do it, and do the same for you so you can have peace, Davien.”I tried to explain to my ma

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   82: Favorite Son

    DAVIEN~~Of course, the right-hand side of the father. Of our father.Since we were young but old enough to understand power and the amount that came with being the pack's next Alpha, Damien had made himself our dad’s right hand, and our dad made it easier for him to do that since he was the favorite child.Usually, I would have chosen to sit at the foot of the table or eat alone, but since my dad was invited to dinner and asked to sit right here by my dad, I should have known Damien would have a problem with that.“He is so full of himself,” Dolf grumbled within me, almost showing himself and just how powerful he was, even though we had both agreed to keep him a secret for as long as possible.My family still didn’t know I had a wolf, and when they found out, I knew it would change everything. My brother would most likely see me as a threat for the first time since we were born.“Wait till they find out I am your wolf,” Dolf chuckled as Katie’s response to Damien echoed through th

    Princess Katie Anne~~Speaking to my family over the phone was new. I had never had to communicate with them through any form of technology, but since I was far from them and wouldn’t be able to use the mindlink, I had to settle for my cellphone, which I hardly used before now.“I have to go now, Dad. It’s dinnertime here, and it would be rude to keep the leaders of this pack waiting for me,” I said to my dad, who had refused to end the call.He wasn’t the only one who took ages before passing the phone to someone else. Every one of my siblings, except Kyle, who wasn’t with the family currently, wouldn’t let the phone go, and they also wouldn’t put it on speaker so I could talk to everyone simultaneously.My mom, being her sacrificial and understanding self, let the phone go after she made sure I was fine, but of course, my dad had to say, “I am sure they can wait. You are the princess, and you are talking to your dad. You know? The King?”“That’s just being cocky, Dad.” I laughed

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   80: Ferocious Cat

    DAVIEN~~My Ferocious CatGoddess! I was so right when I referred to my mate as that. She was everything a ferocious cat should be—meek, calculative, elegant, beautiful, and deadly. She could be a domesticated cat, but one should never mistake that for weakness, because she was naturally a wild one, even in bed.Yeah, seeing and hearing her insult Damien had my balls tightening. I could see the bear in me surfacing, ready to rip Katie’s clothes to shreds as soon as we got to our room—“This is your room, Princess Katie,” my mom announced, and I knew better than to ignore the fact that she called it Katie’s room and not OUR room. My mom confirmed that her choice of words wasn’t a mistake when she added, “You can stay in your old room after you help the princess settle in, Dave.”Katie was quick to say, “We will be staying in the same room, Luna Cynthia.”My mom smiled sheepishly and muttered, “There are many rooms in the mansion, Princess. You can have all the privacy you need, and D

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Next Luna?” A high-pitched, contentious voice struck my eardrums despite the cheers of the pack members, and just like that, my first opposition, who couldn’t hide her hate, stepped forward, standing confidently with her head high in the air.She stated, her amber eyes piercing my skull before they shifted between Alpha Jarrett and Luna Cynthia, “I believe that title is mine. It’s my birthright and—”“Now is not the time, Amber,” Alpha Jarrett scolded her, but that didn’t kill the flame in Amber’s eyes.Clearly, she didn’t respect him, and while I kept staring at her to see if I would recognize her from when I was younger, Zoe chimed into my mind, “Amber eyes, and she was named Amber. Her parents didn’t even try.”I didn’t get the joke, but somehow Zuri did, and she chuckled with Zoe, both of them effortlessly mocking Amber.“When will the time be, Alpha? The pack is gathered, and you just announced that a brat who left the pack many years ago, only to return

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   78: Next Luna

    Princess Katie Anne~~I could feel my heart racing even though I tried to hide it and control the rush of emotions that attacked my nervous system the second we drove into Black Fur pack.Somewhere at the back of my mind, I could see my younger self giggling as we drove out of Black Fur. I could see the big smile on my face because I was excited to leave the pack for the first time in my life.I recalled holding my mom and Kyle while my little mind rapidly took in the possibility of adventure that awaited us, even though I didn’t know half of the thoughts that were racing through my mom’s mind that day.I bet she was terrified that day, but she kept a strong face for Kyle and me. Now, it was my turn to be strong for Davien and my family.As Garrick drove the car towards the Alpha’s mansion, following Davien’s direction, I tried to look around, searching for some sort of familiarity, even though I knew recognizing anything or anyone from my childhood here would stir up my emotions.
