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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Was I doing too much?Should I even be pursuing sex during this perilous time? But it wasn’t about just sex. It was about feeling closer to Aurelia. I want to see her carry my mark and have her mark on my neck, wearing it proudly. I want everyone to know that she is mine and that I belong to her. I wanted all of that and more. Plus from the way she melted in my arms earlier together after the sexual tension that Benji and Otis created, I knew she wanted all of that as well. That’s why I sent the twins to my mother’s apartment—she moved into a new place since my mansion was currently occupied by Moon Stone Pack Members. The kids were with my mom, Susanna had gone to Andrew’s, and Nina had helped me prepare a fancy dinner for two. I have spent the past two hours decorating the living room as well. This wasn’t a waste of time. It was an investment. Even if I died, Aurelia would have these moments to remember–“As much as this is beautiful and thrilling, I’m again
AURELIA~~Dinner? How could I care about that when he was kissing me like this? How could eating be on my mind even though I have worked and trained hard today? Not when Raiden was touching every part of my body at the same time. At that moment, he had more than two hands.The fire of desire had been dancing within me even before we started the slow dance around the living room as we kissed with raw undiluted passion. I lost track of time as Raiden and I moved around the living room, devouring each other’s mouths, tasting places we never knew existed until now.“Hmm…” I moaned for the millionth time as his hand touched the sensitive part of my neck, caressing it heatedly. “I love you…” Raiden muttered effortlessly, molding our lips together before my brain could even understand his words. “I.” Kiss. “Love” Even deeper kiss that had my back arching. “You, Aurelia” He concluded, pouring desire into me like he was a fountain of it.He didn’t give me the chance to think or respond.
ALPHA RAIDEN~~She took me by surprise. One minute I was savoring the raw sweet taste between her legs and the next, her legs were wrapped around my neck and I was flipping in the air. How strong were those legs exactly? I thought to myself but my eyes were as wide as the ocean and they almost popped when Aurelia found a way to sit right over my weeping and aching cock. “Fuck…” I groaned. Although the thick fabric of my pants was still between Aurelia's slick entrance and my ready-to-go penis, I could still feel the ache of desire growing from the tip of my cock to the base of my swollen balls. “You don't get to starve me like that.” Aurelia whimpered but never had I seen her eyes so dark… so passionate. I didn't mean to starve her. In fact, after her third orgasm, I wouldn't say I was starving her. I was starving myself for her pleasure. I was restraining myself so she could feel that I genuinely wanted her unlike in the past….I didn't want her to compare the past and now
AURELIA~~Once upon a time, I would have been reliving the past as Raiden sank into me. I would have been reminded of every pain he caused me but tonight, I let it all go. I chose to live in bliss rather than pain. I chose to heal and my soul, body, and mind agreed with me. Even my memories did as they purged out the bad ones, replacing them with the new happier ones that Raiden and I were currently creating. I mean, I laughed.I giggled as he carried me towards the bedroom with my legs wrapped around his waist and his cock firmly rooted within my hole. Did he crack a joke? I wouldn’t know. However, he had me giggling all the way, whispering beautiful nonsense into my ear. Although I had forgotten the past, one fact I couldn’t forget was Raiden’s stamina in bed.His appetite had never been questioned and I knew he was holding himself back. I could feel it. Although Inara had been silent in my head since the intimacy started, I heard her thought as it flashed through my mind at
ALPHA RAIDEN~~A smile stretched my face as I put the blanket over Aurelia’s naked body. I wiped her body with a wet towel and I intend to do the same with the couch we used in the living room, the bedroom door, and the floor before sleeping. I didn’t expect the night to turn out this good, not after Lex reminded me of the risk of marking Aurelia. However, If I were to die soon, tonight would be the best night of my life. I felt complete with the bond tingling within me. “We’re back,” Lex muttered into my foggy mind. Yes, Aurelia and I were back like never before. She was mine again and I would do everything to treat her like the queen she was. However, I still couldn’t make her mine, not fully. Doing that would make me a selfish mate. “If only we can complete the bond by marking her,” Lex complained within my mind despite the sexual satisfaction that was zapping through my veins. If only I wouldn’t die. I thought to myself, sighing as I left Aurelia’s side, ignoring the n
AURELIA~~I woke up to an empty bed… Or in other words, I woke up alone but sore which tells the tale of last night.If it wasn’t for the voices I heard in my sleep, I bet I would still be snoring and not realize that Raiden had left the room… “He must have woken up early. Perhaps he’s preparing breakfast.” I thought to myself as I got out of bed after noticing how cold Raiden’s side of the bed was. I walked to the closet, picked out a pair of shorts and a wine blouse, and rushed my naked ass to the bathroom as I could hear Katie and Kyle’s voices. Their giggles woke me up. I quickly washed my body, hating the fact that I wouldn’t smell like Raiden anymore afterward but I also didn’t want my kids to smell sex on me. I put on my clothes before moving to the living room where I found Maya, my kids, and Iris… that’s everyone but Raiden and my face kinda fell even though Katie and Kyle hugged me affectionately.“Where is he?” I asked, looking at Iris and Maya, expecting one of them
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 pur
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 sli
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
LARISA’S POV ~~That bastard Jake!He couldn’t do anything right!He failed to save my parents and now he even failed to kill this bitch…I didn’t see this coming and I hated the sight of her. I felt like pulling all my hair out just because she was standing there and wasn’t an illusion. And did that warrior just refer to her as the Luna of Dark Moon Pack? This has to be wrong. I was hallucinating–“Oh, I’m very real, Larisa,” Aurelia said to me like she could hear my thoughts. Yes, I was screaming them in my head but still, she…Argh! Aurelia chuckled, fueling my rage as she said, “For me, it’s good to see you again, Larisa because not only have I taken my rightful place as Raiden’s mate and Luna of this pack but I’m also his wife and the mother of his kids.” Her words ripped me apart, limb by limb. That was my biggest dream. To be everything to Raiden but she had always been in the way and now? Now she was living my dreams–“And of course, that’s the least of my achievements
AURELIA~~I heard him scream. I heard him plead. I heard him lose his cool. Scratch that, I felt it more, his emotions pushing through our bond in a way that had me standing outside the shield for what seemed like forever even though I had no time to waste. I just couldn’t bring myself to move away from the house even though it was hidden perfectly within Tamia’s shield. I could see beyond the shield if I wanted to but I was scared I would change my mind if I was to see Raiden again. I was afraid I would let him out because he doesn't deserve to be locked up against his will–“We have to move now, Luna Aurelia,” Seth said to me, without asking questions about why I had to lock Raiden up. Even Andrew who was standing on my other side didn’t question me. It was as if they knew. I also didn’t ask them any questions as my feet failed to move away from the shield. I didn’t realize Andrew was experiencing the same until I heard him groan in pain. Susanna was also beyond his reach a
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Without hesitation, I agreed with Lex because I couldn’t imagine my family without me even though they lived well without me in the past…I couldn’t imagine living in the Great Beyond without them– if there was a Great Beyond. Heck, nothing would be great about a place where my family wouldn’t be–Katie etched, calling me back to reality, “Can I go with you? I can fight too.” Truly, she could fight. She has been training with Seth and Tara, the strongest female warrior if Aurelia isn’t in the group. My daughter was a little warrior but she was one I wouldn’t want on the battlefield.Her innocence was to be protected for as long as possible so I answered, “You will fight right here beside Mia Lu and every others that will be staying behind. They need you to protect them.” Katie didn’t seem convinced but she nodded regardless while Kyle just looked at us. He didn’t utter a word, not until I asked him, “Everything okay, buddy?” My son held my gaze for a second before
ALPHA RAIDEN~~The war was here. The same one that would claim my life and make my kids fatherless. The same one that would make the woman I love a widow– mateless. The same one I have been dreading since Aurelia started falling in love with me again. The same one–“Snap out of it, Raiden. Death or not we still have to fight!” My wolf barked at me as I mindlessly stood beside Aurelia in the same hall where we married. “Aurelia is right. You gave up even before the war. It’s like you are willing to die–” “If that will keep them safe, then yes, I’ll die.” I cut my wolf off. “You can’t keep them safe by being a living dead!” Lex seethed. “Look at her taking over and leading alone even though you are still here. Wake up, Raiden or Aurelia will die before the so-called predicted death gets to you!” My wolf’s words hit me hard.I tried to pull myself together just as Aurelia started addressing the people in the hall. When I built the hall and had some of my pack engineers work on it
