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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I called everyone out, including the older kids. Seeing everyone like this makes me realize that I have many people to protect—a whole lot and the numbers just increased earlier today. As people settled in the Pack’s Square, I could see the white wolves, the Moon Stone members, and my pack members mixing. There was no segregation in any way and that was a good thing.When I sensed that everyone was here, I walked to the front of the crowd with Seth who had been up all night and day with me. Andrew joined us as I briefed him about what happened at the borders earlier this morning before I sent the general message out to everyone who I could reach through the mind link. Andrew had to inform the Moon Stone pack members and Susanna went to call on the White wolves. “It’s official.” I started with that staring at the confused and anxious faces of the crowd. “We are at war and I need everyone in this pack to know that.” The crowd began to murmur, the scent of their fe
AURELIA~~“I’m destined to die in war, Aurelia,” Raiden said clearly, his soul breaking as those words made the air around us thickened. He was already dying even before his supposed destined death. Since we were telling the truth, I breathed, “What makes you think I don’t know?” Raiden didn’t understand me at first. He shook his head, looking at everything but me as we stood still on a deserted path, “You don’t understand, Aurelia. I’m going to die. I saw it in my predicted future when Susanna read my memories–”“And I’m saying that I saw it in a vision that is more reliable than a Memory Reader’s predicted future. I saw it happen, Raiden.” I interrupted, explaining to him so he could understand me. Raiden’s eyes went from confused to shocked and then to hurt but eventually settled for pity. All of these emotions crossed his eyes within a minute as silence hung between us. “You knew?” Raiden asked with disbelief. I nodded, “Yes, I knew. I found out in the first vision that I
AURELIA~~“I can't do that.” I blurted before I could think about what effect my words would have on everyone in the room. And by everyone, I mean, Susanna, Seth, Andrew, Otis, and Benji who were officially announced as the Alpha of Moon Stone Pack yesterday evening after the funeral his people had in honor of their dead, Jeremy, Tamia, Lori, and, of course, Raiden —a man I have been aching to have within me for the past two days and nights. “Why not?” Jeremy asked me with respect but a hint of mockery.As an elder, he has been careful around me ever since Tamia made me the leader of the white wolves, a position with authority that I don't get to use often because I was still training to become a better leader. Perhaps I should rewind a little. Earlier this morning, Raiden came to the apartment to pick me up for an impromptu meeting he scheduled with the white wolves. Raiden has been sleeping in his office for the past two nights because he and I could be in the same room and
ALPHA TRISTAN~~“You should take your leave.” The he-wolf who smelled like a strong gamma seethed at me. “She doesn’t want to see you.”Although I had been standing by the border of Dark Moon Pack for hours, I intended to remain there until I got to see Aurelia. “C’mon, Gamma Seth. You know we mean no harm.” Louis, who had officially resumed his duties as my Beta after I was reinstalled as Alpha, said to the strong Gamma. “This is a peaceful visit.”I simply listened as my Beta negotiated with the Gamma, feeling more like Louis was the Alpha. I would be lying if I said I haven’t felt useless these past few days. After regaining consciousness, I found out that Louis had become more influential, not only in my pack. Obviously. “Your ego is bruised?” Dolf mocked me. But his assumptions weren’t exactly the case. I just couldn’t wait to get back my strength and become myself again. “This isn’t about your intention, Beta Louis. It’s about my Alpha and Luna's wishes.” The Gamma answer
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
