Thank you for reading, Dearests. I hope you enjoy these chapters. Love, Kiki.
ELORA’S LETTER~~“When I had that vision, I immediately thought I was the one in the middle of that strange battlefield. I thought we would survive the first wave of the war and have to fight another one but things became clearer when I saw the strange man dying in your arms.I realized that he was your mate. I realized that the war was a different one… not the one knocking on the borders of my home—and I wouldn’t be able to stop it. Not the one that would kill everyone I love and make my daughter an orphan in a world without white wolves–Pardon me for digressing again. What I have to say to you is important and any moment from now, Black fur warriors will break into my home. Trust me, Aurelia, I tried to stop the war. I am the only Seer in the pack who wasn’t affected by whatever evil the Black Fur used on us and Tamia believes the reason I’m immune is because you are in my womb.Simply put, those visions that I could see after every Seer in the pack lost their powers were your
AURELIA~~I ran. As fast as my legs could carry me, I ran.I tried to dry the tears on my face but even as I ran, it trickled down my chin as I cried even more. That letter broke me. As much as it gave me hope and answered my questions, it broke me, and I found myself wishing for a life I would never have—a life where I could get to know and hold my parents. I may get that in my next life. For now, I just have to be grateful for this life because I got to hold and know my children. “I’ll make sure my kids get to know, love, and hold their father for a very long time. I won’t let him die.”My wolf agreed with me as she felt every bit of emotion that coursed through me. The wind carried my hair as I zoomed right back to the white wolf's building, looking for the best Mender I knew. “Lori….” I called out as soon as I entered the building. I caught the attention of a few white wolves who were still relaxing after a long morning of training. Tamia was also in the living room and
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Those eyes… Those lazy and dilated blue eyes were doing things to me as Aurelia licked her spoon in a very suggestive manner. She wanted me. In a physical way. Or was I–“Her scent tells it all,” Lex affirmed, groaning within me as Aurelia’s scent became more dominant in the room. I couldn’t even perceive the aroma of breakfast.I mean, for someone who drained herself yesterday while trying harder than usual, Aurelia woke up stronger and with just as strong needs. It became difficult for me to breathe without causing my groin to tighten.But just as sudden as that happened, Aurelia’s desire evaporated. I blinked rapidly as I realized that I could no longer sense her. Even Lex was stunned but I pulled it together and watched her finish her meal. Aurelua muttered to me, “Thank you for breakfast.” “My pleasure, Relia,” I replied, holding a smile on my face. “I need to talk to you about training,” Aurelia muttered again, this time, holding my gaze and speaking ca
AURELIA~~I was killing myself, he said…Well, yes. I needed to kill myself to save him. I was fighting for our future but he was standing in my way. Goddess knew I was angry. Or cranky because I was exhausted and having Raidem yelling at me wasn't helping me. I just needed to get to the purifying lake and tap energy from the water. “Have you seen yourself lately? You are tired—”“Yes, I'm tired but this has to be done. You said you would support me, Raiden. This isn't support. You are draining me by yelling—”Raiden snapped, “I'm not yelling. I'm simply telling you to take a break from training. You need to rest.”No. What I needed was a way to become a Mender. Despite training hard for over five days, I still haven’t been able to close a single wound. Lori has been allowing me to try healing the warriors after their morning training but I have failed to heal them. I didn’t know why it was so hard but I knew I needed to train more. I have to pass the stage of being a Healer
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I didn't expect Aurelia to be this scared. Since our argument, I perceived that she knew something but wasn't telling me because that was the only explanation for her reaction and stubbornness. I took another look at Aurelia’s face before shifting my gaze to Susanna who was also looking at Aurelia. I voiced, “Please stay here with her and the kids while Andrew and I go to the borders.”But as soon as I mentioned the borders, Aurelia stiffened in my arms and interjected sharply, “You can't go anywhere, Raiden. I'll go with Andrew. You should stay with the kids.” Seriously? I wanted to snap but the way she was looking at me calmed me instantly. She was looking at me with fear buried in her eyes and my heart clenched. “You have nothing to worry about. I'll be back soon and please stay at home for the day, Aurelia. I'm begging you.” I uttered, holding her gaze as I put space between our bodies despite Aurelia’s struggle. She opposed, “How about I stay at home but
AURELIA~~ They all looked beat up. They looked like they had been through hell and back. I told Katie and Kyle to go back indoors before Alpha Clinton collapsed and I couldn't be more grateful that the kids didn't witness the frenzy that caused.His pack members that have been transported into the pack ran over to him despite their obvious exhaustion and wounds.My heart wept for them not just because I knew this was Tristan’s doing but also because no one deserved to be forced out of their home. “Please get a healer. None of ours made it out of the pack.” The man who was holding Alpha Clinton cried out. I noticed the resemblance between them as I rushed forward even though I could see Andrew running to get a healer for the fallen Alpha since he was too weak to be transported to the pack hospital. “Well get a healer soon… hmm…” Raiden said to the people of Moon Dtone but directed to the man holding Alpha Clinton.“Benji.” The younger man supplied his name. “I'm his second son.
ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~My eyes fluttered open slowly. The ache in my head caused me to grunt as I rolled on my back, finding myself in a dark room and my eyes failed to see a thing in here. It was too dark—Or more accurately, I was too weak to see anything despite being an Alpha. Not just any Alpha but the Alpha of Black Fur Pack.It felt like I had been asleep for ages and my wolf wasn't living within my consciousness. It felt like Dolf had finally left me and even my confused mind understood what that would do to me.“Where am I?” I groaned in pain, flexing my eyes so I could get a better glimpse but all I saw was darkness and my head threatened to combust. My mouth was very dry and my throat felt itchy as I tried to call out for anyone. I should be in my room, right? Someone should be outside the door I couldn't see at the moment and I should get help—“Fuck…” I whispered, holding onto my head as thinking made it hurt even more. My breath hitched when I touched something sti
LARISA’S POV~~“Where the hell have you been!” I snarled at Louis the second he entered my upgraded room. A lot had changed around here in less than geo weeks. I have gotten rid of Tristan and his people now lick my feet for a living. Including Louis who I had made Alpha even though he was still a puppet to me. A puppet I liked so much because, without him, I wouldn't have been able to dispose of Tristan. I was stunned when Louis came to find me and agreed to be my partner. I thought he was pretending at first but after he made everything work out smoothly, I knew he was no pretender. He was just as power-hungry as all the men I have come across but there was something different about him.Maybe it was the way he pleased me she remained dominant. I liked that he wasn't as soft as Raiden and as hard as Tristan. Perhaps Betas are the kind of men that suit me. “Taking care of shit while you get your nails painted, Luna.” He seethed right back at me and I found myself smiling like
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
AURELIA~~“You did it, Alpha.” Jeremy’s words echoed in my mind. He was satisfied. I could tell, even though I wasn’t looking at his face, that he was smiling. Together we have extended our spiritual energy and every warrior with his now has enough to fight against Larisa’s warriors. I have been trying to study their behavior and movement since we arrived. They seemed strange and I had also reported everything I noticed to Tamia and Lori through the mind link. The duo promised to start working on breaking Larisa’s hold on the warriors of Black Fur who might still decide to fight us afterward but when we get to that bridge we will cross it.“Stay with me, Alpha. You can’t be distracted now that you have announced yourself to the witch.” Jeremy warned me, becoming a friend faster than I could ever imagine. He had my back.I felt safe with him.“For how long can we keep this going?” I asked Jeremy through the mind link, my eyes on Andrew who has his hand on one of our opponent’s hea
