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

Aurelia's core must have forgotten that she can't get pregnant. Haha. Thank you for reading. Love, Kiki.

    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

    AURELIA~~Shocked? That word wouldn't be enough to describe the way I felt after Benji uttered that one word to Otis who was still frozen on the spot just like every one of us.Perhaps shocked as fuck would do but I wasn't sure because even though I have heard about couples of the same gender, I had never known one not even during my stay in Black Fur Pack.Clearly, this was unexpected even though we have all been praying that Otis would find his mate so the unbearable tension between him and Susanna would fade. “Do you guys need a moment together?” Seth broke the silence in the room when he asked Otis that question. Otis blinked rapidly, still stunned as he mumbled, “I guess that would be lovely.” Benji smiled as if he wasn't surprised like the rest of us, “I can already tell you have never been with a guy before, Mate but it's still good to meet you. I'm Benji, son and heir of Alpha Clinton of Moon Stone pack or what's left of it.”“I'm sorry. I just—” Otis stopped himself bu

    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.
