I know I promised that this book would end this month but from the look of things, I don't think I can keep that promise. I'm sorry. Thank you for reading. Love, Kiki.
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
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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~“It's time for me to retire as Alpha.” Those words echoed through my room, the one in my mansion where Alpha Clinton has been recovering since he arrived with his pack members yesterday. The older Alpha said those words to his son, Benji who instantly argued, “No, father. You are still strong enough to be Alpha—”“My pack no longer exists, Benji. It's time for you to take over and rebuild Moon Stone. You are my heir—”Benji argued, “I wasn't your her until those bastards killed—”His voice broke and I saw him fighting back tears as his fist tightened, his knuckles turning red.Benji’s younger sister who has been sitting by her father’s bed since I entered the room, chimed, “It's time to step up, Benji. Dad needs to rest and the Pack still needs its Alpha unless you want me to take over.”“You are more of an Alpha than I have ever been, Ella.” Benji muttered but added, “But I would rather be the next one to die in war.”Alpha Clinton and Ella barked at Benji, tellin
DAVIEN~~The day had just begun, and I was already unsure of how the rest of the day would turn out. Waking up to find Alpha Prince Kyle in my mate’s bed was only one of the unexpected surprises, and I must confess that feeling Katie’s lips on mine was my favorite unexpected incident.Her lips molded against mine like they were my long-lost piece. Instantly, my lungs gave way to a deep groan, and my hands itched to touch this bold woman. I had never felt like this with any woman.If I were being honest, I would say I had never kissed a woman before.Yes, this was my first kiss, and as Katie pressed her lips against mine, I feared she would discover that I was inexperienced. Would I be seen as man enough if I didn’t live up to her sexual expectations?What are her expectations, and on what experiences are they based?Could she have—Focus, Davien!I scolded myself. A first kiss should be memorable, so I should burn this moment into my memory.Slowly, I let my hands sneak all the way
Princess Katie Anne~~“What happened between you both?” I asked Davien after Kyle slammed my bedroom door like a child.“Nothing much.” Davien shrugged and bent down to pick up the duvet and pillow on the floor. My brows furrowed, another question swelling in my mind even though he still hadn’t answered the first one I asked him. But he did eventually, saying, “He just made me realize that I have a lot to get used to around here.”Although I didn’t understand what he said, I blurted, “You slept on the floor?”Davien nodded, and I exclaimed, “Why? Did I ask you to?”I couldn’t stop myself from wondering if I did that before I fell asleep last night.“You didn’t ask me to sleep on the floor, Princess Katie. I chose to sleep there because I assumed I was still a stranger to you even though we share a bond. You didn’t know me until yesterday. I had to respect your privacy.” Davien answered rigidly, addressing me with my title even though I had already told him not to.I didn’t know how
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE’S POV~~“What the hell do you think you are doing?”I yelled as soon as my back hit what I knew was the hard floor and my eyes fluttered open to see Davien standing over me, his hands tight around my ankles.“Why would you even do that?” I seethed.But in spite of my anger, he didn’t seem remorseful, not even when he turned on the light bulb in the room. My eyes were heavy with sleep, but I blinked rapidly to keep them open, staring at my sister’s mate, who stood above me with a glare etched on his face.“Why are you in bed with her?” Davien, or whatever his name is, spat that question in my face. I was too exhausted for this.I didn’t get a wink of sleep until I got in Katie’s bed, and no, it wasn’t hunger that kept me up. It was the thought of having to wait six years to claim my mate or have any intimate relationship with her.I couldn’t sleep because of my thoughts, but Katie’s scent had always comforted me, and since I couldn’t crawl between my Ma and Pa, it
DAVIEN~~To my surprise, Katie led me up the stairs to the third floor of the palace after openly rejecting Cole for the second time and hopefully for the last time because I couldn't stand the sight of that guy.We all knew Cole.He had been a boy since he was little, which explains why he and Damien immediately got along. Those two have been friends for as long as I can remember. My brother would travel all the way to Cole’s pack to spend time with him but never walk down the hallway to say hi to me unless he needed my help.“You don’t have to worry about Cole, Davien. My uncles will make sure he never shows up in front of me, and as soon as Kyle hears about this, he will track him down and bury him alive just to keep him away.”Katie muttered, chuckling sweetly as she spoke about her brother, whereas I was just thinking about my own brother, but not so sweetly.I pushed my family discourse aside and focused on Katie, with whom I will build a new family. A better one, in fact.“I
Princess Katie Anne~~Gosh! Can this day end already?Like I was fucking exhausted. What I needed right now was some peace and quiet, and I thought I would be getting that after dinner with my family, but he just had to show up.“That asshole,” Zuri seethed within me, emanating a kind of rage that I didn’t know a white wolf like her could access. She heard my thoughts and scoffed in my mind, “I’m a white wolf, not a stupid one.”“I beg to differ,” Zoe chided, initiating another session of bickering.However, I stopped them both before it could escalate: “I do not need this right now. You either help me get rid of this idiot, or I ask my mom to put a solid and unbreakable wall between our minds.”I might not know how to do that on my own, but with a little help from my mom, my wolves would be shut out. Somehow, my wolves inherited the fear I had for my mom. Although I don’t show it often, that woman terrifies me sometimes because I know just how powerful she is.“But why get rid of
DAVIEN ~~ Dinner back home was usually quiet, and even if anyone had anything to say, it would be about Damien’s latest stunt and my dad's stressful day. Most times, I skip eating with my family, and they never force me to make an appearance unless we had guests joining us. However, dinner with the royal family was different. The long table in the dining hall was the longest I had ever seen in my entire twenty years of living. I tried to count the number of people in the hall, but I kept losing track and had to start over as the kids moved around.“They are all family?” I whispered to Princess Katie... I mean just Katie as I pull out a chair she led me to and help her get comfortable. “Yes, Davien,” She laughed, saying my name like it was part of her favorite melody. “Everyone in the pack is family, but these are my closest.” “Closest? Seriously?” I asked deadpan. There were almost thirty people in the hall, and they all had a seat at the long table. The royal family got the se
Princess Katie Anne~~ If anyone was looking at me, he or she wouldn’t hesitate to claim that I had been sitting in silence for many hours. I was beside a man who turned his family away just so he could stay with me.However, I was sitting in everything but silence. Inside, I was anything but silent.The thoughts and voices of two distinct yet similar wolves raced through my mind like whirlwinds. The discussion might not be happening between Davien and me, but it was definitely going on between Zuri and Zoe.It all started when Zuri said to Zoe, sarcasm dripping into my mind as her cool voice bounced off the walls of my thoughts, “You still think he is a wimp? Did you see how he stood up to defend us? I’m beginning to question your decision-making ability.”“Um, you mean I’m dumb?” Zoe asked with disbelief. “And you, who didn’t question a bond, are the smart one?”“Not to brag, but I do believe I should be the decision-maker between us both. You are hotheaded and—”“Don’t even fin
Alpha Prince Kyle In that instance, time froze, and my body did too, not just because my mate growled into my mind with conviction, “Mate,” but mostly because the conviction Rio had initially turned into confusion as we both stared at the person whose scent invaded my nostrils like never before.“T-that’s impossible.” I stuttered and staggered backward, unable to believe what was happening. “She can’t be my mate. She can’t be our mate, Rio.”I shook my head, pleading with the moon goddess to rescue me from whatever this was.I thought I was ready to find my mate. Well, until this minute. Until my mate turned out to be her—the least expected person.“She’s the only one in the library, Kyle. It’s her, and you know it.” Rio said to me, sounding just as confused as I was, even though we both knew life was about to get difficult.Did I say things happen easily for me? Well, not anymore.The familiar sweet vanilla scent mixed with the welcoming scent of books filled my nostrils again.
Alpha Prince Kyle’~~I was no spiritual guru, and when I say that, I also mean that I wasn't really into the spiritual stuff that most of my family members enjoy. In fact, all but Katie and my Dad and perhaps Ronald. Also, I wasn’t so into the physical stuff like Katie and my Dad, and again, maybe Ronald—the little man is still juggling between both worlds and trying to find his footing. It was safe to say that I was the weirdest one in my family, but I didn’t feel weird or odd. I fit in. But to me, Davien didn’t fit into his own family. Not a spiritual expert or an energy expert, but I could sense the bad energy and vibe among the four members of that family. “For one, his brother is an idiot. Ma should have let us rip his head off.” Rio hissed.Although I was more of a diplomatic person who loves peace, my wolf can get a whole lot crazy when he is pissed, and Goddess knew he was pissed earlier when the dumbass brother of Katie’s mate tried to say shit about her."Plus, his mo
