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 RAIDEN~~Constantly, she willingly put her own life at risk. For goodness sake, she was a wolf not a cat with nine fucking lives. “Do I ever get a say in these crazy decisions that you make? You throw yourself under the bus, drain yourself and barely take care of yourself. What's wrong with you, Aurelia?” Was I angry? Hell yes! But was I more terrified than angry? Hell yes! The thought of her burning out like Tamia had warned her repeatedly scared me. The thought of losing her made my heart ache and she didn't seem to care about her life. “The twins need you. I need you. The pack needs you. Heck, the entire realm needs you to stay strong and alive.”Aurelia stood still, close to the but where she had been training tirelessly. She didn't react to my outburst. It was unlike her not to have a comeback especially when I doubted her decisions. She always had something to say.Until now. My will to make her hear me out this time faded when she saw her face… her eyes were shin

    AURELIA~~I would recognize that betrayer anywhere. Although she looked a lot less like her pretty self and she had cut her hair, I recognized her immediately. Although she masked her scent, I perceived her fakeness from miles away. “How dare you show your face in my Pack!” I seethed, seeing nothing but red and that bitch’s face. This was the first time I would publicly call Dark Moon Pack ‘My pack’ but I couldn’t celebrate that milestone because I was seeing the face of a woman who I once trusted with everything, including my kids. “I knew you wouldn’t die like that. I knew you were alive.” Her voice which used to make me feel loved once, irritated me as I closed the distance between us both. I could see her fake tears brimming in the hazel eyes that I used to love as she asked, “Please tell me Katie and Kyle are fine as well. News has it that you all died in an accident and–” I reached the bitch before she could finish her fake ass sympathetic statement. My balled fist sma

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   206. Larisa's POV (17)

    LARISA’S POV ~~“Why are we still not attacking Dark Moon Pack?” I asked as I sat down on my throne. The pack elders were standing on one side and the most influential warriors were also in the hall, all looking at their toes. “Will someone please answer my question?” I asked firmly after about two minutes of silence from people I knew had been meeting every day for the past week. They have been meeting in secret.Most likely plotting against me.Louis stepped up to speak, “We haven’t been able to penetrate their border, Luna. We tried to send spies into the pack but they never made it past the borders even though Alpha Raiden has been allowing people from other packs into his pack.”I didn’t care about spies or cheap information that Louis believed we needed before we attacked Raiden’s pack. We were wasting precious time and the baby in my womb wouldn’t last forever before it wither away like a dead plant.I was at my peak, for goddess’s sake. Slowly, I muttered, “Didn’t you se

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   207. Hazel's Nuisance

    AURELIA~~My hands shake visibly over the small white fabric I had laid on the floor of the purifying hut where I have been since Jeremy and I stopped training earlier this morning. Jeremy believed that training with him in the morning and on the training ground while other warriors were training would be better and while he had shown me what he could do, I haven’t been able to empower any warrior… not even one. And usually, when I’m done with Jeremy, I come straight to the purifying hut to train with Lori but for some reason, she wasn’t here when I got here over an hour ago. I was alone. And that gave me the chance to try out my experiment. I found a fly outside the hut and decided to use it for my experiment. With one finger, I killed it carefully so as not to make the process of restoring its life harder than it already was.I placed the fly on a white fabric and sat with it, my hands over it as I connected with the energy from the lake. But after minutes of nothing, I kne

    AURELIA~~Phoebe just happened to be the healer I found in Hazel’s cell.“I’m sorry you got dragged into her mess.” I apologized to Phoebe who still knelt beside Hazel, her hand over her chest. Rather than wave me off as I expected, Phobe exclaimed, “Thank Goddess you are here. I need your help.”The urgency in Phoebe’s voice had me rushing into Hazel’s cell and kneeling beside her. “What do you need?” I asked Phoebe. “She stabbed herself in the chest with her cutlery. She punctured her lungs and I have been trying to keep blood out of it but I also need to fix her lungs which I can’t do here. We need to get her to the hospital.” Phoebe announced professionally. “Does that mean she needs surgery?” I asked, understanding the concept.“Yes,” Phoebe answered. “I can’t do that here and not alone.” “What do you need me to do?” I asked Phoebe, avoiding Hazel’s gaze even though they were fixed on me. Phoebe looked away from me as she said, “You can’t help. We need a car to transport

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~“I have to give her a befitting burial,” Aurelia uttered to everyone in the living room.She sounded unsure yet stubborn. And as much as I considered bursting the sad bubble Aurelia had built around herself since Hazel dropped dead before her yesterday, I let her live in the moment. However, Susanna who had been with Aurelia since yesterday, trying to console her because she claimed she had just lost a friend, scolded, “What’s befitting if not throwing her out of the pack? I–” “Susanna!” Aurelia scolded loudly. But Susanna shrugged, “I’m done babying you, Aurelia. Yes, she died but she’s the same person who stabbed you in the back. You have been–” “She was my friend–” Otis took over from Susanna when he countered, “From what I know, she wasn’t your friend. She was spying on you.”Aurelia’s face turned red. She was livid, “Why are you so…” She couldn’t come up with the right words so she gritted with balled fists, “Argh!”To be honest, I would have told her the

    AURELIA~~The reality was sinking in. The truth was sinking in real fast and with Hazel’s death, I now know for a fact that I was a failure. I have failed and I would still fail. I knew that now.No matter how hard I try, I will never live up to my mother’s legacy or uphold my father’s. I would be a disgrace… a complete failure–“Will you please snap out of it? This isn’t helping us in any way.” Inara scolded me just like Susanna and everyone else. They all expect me to be okay with the fact that I failed to save Hazel yesterday. How could I be okay? “No one is expecting you to be okay, Relia. I hate Hazel but I also don’t wish her death but she got what she deserved. The bitch stabbed herself in the chest so why are you beating yourself for a death she brought upon herself?” Inara screamed at me as I entered the bedroom. I shook my head, wiping the stream of tears on my face, “That’s not it, Ina. I’m not mad about Hazel’s death. I’m mad at myself because I failed to save her

    AURELIA~~“Before we begin, I’d like to apologize to everyone. I was a bitch yesterday.”Just like yesterday, my friends were gathered in my living room. While Seth and Benji weren’t exactly my friends, they were still a part of the group. Susanna was sitting between Andrew’s legs and Otis had his hand on Benji’s lap while Benji’s hand was lazily draped over Otis’s shoulder. The view was pleasing and I was grateful for the gift of friends like family. Scratch that, they were family to me. Raiden squeezed my shoulder from behind, smiling down at me. Since we had that talk yesterday, I could feel us getting closer and my heart felt lighter even though it still ached.I expected Susanna to speak first but to my surprise, Benji beat her to it. He said, “Bitch is one word that can’t be used to describe your kindhearted and emotional self, Luna Aurelia.”Benji’s sweet words made everyone coo cutely, “Awn…” “Seems like you bagged a sweet Alpha Male, Luna Otis.” Susanna chuckled, her ey

    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

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   238. Alpha Tristan's POV (13)

    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
