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
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 RAIDEN ~~ I shook my head, breaking the silence, “Nobody is going to Black Fur Pack as a spy.” Otis was about to argue but I raised my hand, “This isn’t up for discussion.” “Thank you, Alpha Raiden.”Susanna sighed, relieved. Benji muttered, “Thank goodness. I wasn’t about to lose the love of my life. However, we still have to help those people, Alpha Raiden.” I acknowledged Benji’s words, “We will do that when the time comes, but we won’t risk anyone’s life just to spy on Larisa, who is going to make a mistake soon enough.” We spoke about training for a few minutes before the rest of the group left the apartment. I repeated before they left, “Nobody is going to Black Fur Pack as a spy. Do I make myself clear?” Benji was an Alpha but in my pack, he knew I was in charge so he nodded together with the rest of the crew. Aurelia looked at me as she muttered after the door closed behind our guests, “What do we do now?” My eyes cut to hers and I stared at her intensely,
AURELIA ~~ My body shook despite Raiden’s hands around me as he fucked me from behind. His hard chest was pressing firmly against my back and his arms pressed my sensitive breasts while he thrust his hip, fucking me wildly. I was beginning to lose my voice and would most likely scream the roof down soon but Raiden’s appetite hadn’t reduced one bit. His hunger was raw and he made sure to fuck me just as raw. One minute, I was facing our friends and planning for a war, the next minute, I was naked, dripping, screaming, and trashing as orgasm hit me like a rock. A sweet rock just like Raiden’s balls– I could feel them slapping against my ass as his cock hit my sweet spot. From this angle, Raiden could easily mark me and complete the bond but he hasn't done that. In fact, it seems as if he has been avoiding the sensitive spot on my neck. Clearly, despite the hormones spiking within our bodies, he still held on to fear– the fear of leaving me behind after completing the bond by m
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 sea
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
DAVIEN~~“Do you want to become wolfless because I can make that happen with a flip of my fingers?” Damien turned white at the five-year-old prince’s threat, and I had to hold back my laughter while Prince Kyle growled at my twin brother. The only reason my parents shunned Damien was because they were still trying to hide the fact that I was wolfless from the royal family. Imagine that. Hiding something from this kind of family? Impossible! However, my parents didn’t know that yet, and I also didn’t want them to discover that I was no longer wolfless. My Dad fell on his knee before the royal family and cried out, “I apologize for my son's shortcomings. Please forgive them, your majesties.” “Your sons? I see just one with a lot of shortcomings, Jarrett, and I can’t forgive anyone who speaks down on me, even if the person is about to be family.” Alpha King Raiden seethed, controlling his rage like a pro. It was then that I realized that I was about to become part of the royal
DAVIEN~~I still couldn’t believe that I was sitting beside her.Not just because she was the princess, but because she was my mate. The Princess of the realm was my mate, and I was talking to her even though she seemed to be lost in thought at the moment. Should she even be thinking right now? I mean, she just fainted a few hours ago and her health was fragile–“Is that worry I hear in your thought?” Dolf asked rhetorically, causing me to sigh. “What are we going to do, Dolf?” I asked my wolf. The whole idea of having a wolf still seems unreal. “I can tell you, but you have to figure this out yourself,” Dolf responded, proving that he was indeed a wise wolf spirit. “I’m flattered, Davien but I must ask you—do you want this? Do you want Katie as your mate, me as your wolf, and this new life that has been shoved down your throat?”I scoffed audibly, and Princess Katie’s gaze shifted to me. Although she didn’t say anything, I could tell that she had a whole lot to say. Maybe not
Princess Katie Anne~~I was used to having men in my life fighting for me, but seeing the boy from Black Fur do the same against his brother brought about a different feeling that I wasn’t familiar with. His words echoed in my head: “You do not talk to my mate like that.”I could have sworn I had heard my dad say the exact words, but the effects were different because this time I was the mate and the man speaking those words was mine.“So you want him now.” Zuri chimed with amusement. I would have smiled if I didn’t see Davien’s twin brother rushing to land a hit on him. Energy surged within me, and I pushed myself off the bed, running to stand between Dvaien and his twin brother. Goddess was I fast. My speed had always been incredible despite not having a wolf, but the level I tapped into now was more than the word incredible could describe.I caught Damien’s fist in the air even though my mate had bent over to dodge the impact of his brother’s punch. Damien’s eyes widened, bu
DAVIEN~~“What the hell have you done now, Davien?”My dad bellowed, and as always, my body began to shake because I knew this was the beginning of another episode of insults and perhaps abuse. No, if he was going to hit me, he would have done that as soon as he stepped into this room. Plus, the fact that Princess Katie was sitting on the bed beside me wouldn’t let my dad act rashly. Also, my mom was unusually quiet; I wanted to believe she was like that because the royal family was standing outside. My brother would have said something if we weren’t in the palace of the famous rulers of our realm. He would have thrown it in my face that he was the perfect son and should have been born first, just like our parents had always said. Damien would have done that if we weren’t in Dark Moon Pack. I knew all of this, yet my body trembled out of habit, fear coursing through my body. “Answer the question, Davien.” My mom pushed for answers, her eyes falling on Princess Katie, who just h
Princess Katie Anne~~Davien held my gaze, staring at me with disbelief and perhaps confusion. That makes both of us, if I’m being honest. I couldn’t believe he was my mate and still didn’t understand how he could help me or why–Wait a minute. I think I do. I understand.If Davien was my mate, he would be able to share my pain with me, making it bearable, and with Dolf being his wolf, I would have a friend I could depend on. I wasn’t feeling any pain right now, so whatever Davien’s energy was doing to mine was good for me. “I have to see my family,” Davien uttered after staring at me in silence for the longest time.Before anyone could react to his statement, he rose from the lake and stepped out of it, wobbling as he put some space between us. Within a twinkle of an eye, I felt a pull between our bodies, one that was compelling me to go with him. Heck, it was as if it were commanding my body to stick to his body like some leech that couldn’t exist without him.“Of course, you ca
