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
Princess Katie Anne~~I almost couldn’t believe that Davien had no experience.Yes, he was that good. With his tongue. His fingers. His lips. Hell! He was that good.And he paid attention to every reaction. Every movement that made me moan or got my back off the bed. He would do that same movement and focus on that same angle just to make me feel good, but he didn’t overdo it.He sucked when needed. Bite me tenderly when needed. Grabbed my breasts and fondled them through the soft material of my nightwear.“Oh, fuck!” I cried out, and my legs began to shake right after Davien pinched my taut, aching nipples as he bit my sensitive, throbbing clit simultaneously.“You like that, don’t you?” Davien breathed, his breath tickling my cunt before he ran his tongue over me like I was his favorite ice cream flavor.How was I supposed to respond when he did that, earning a loud moan from me?“Use your words, Cat.” Davien breathed once again, and as cringy as that pet name sounded, it worked f
DAVIEN~~The smell of her strong desire found me in the depths of my subconscious and woke me up effortlessly. It was a natural reaction of a male to his female's desire, but while I knew that, I didn’t expect Katie to say those words without blinking.“I want you between my legs, Mate.”Fuck!I had never understood the concept of desire. At least, not until now.I had seen Damien with many women and even heard him with them, but I had never thought of taking any woman to my bed. Not that they wanted me anyway. They always went for the better twin, and I wasn’t. Sadly.Also, while I had seen my fair share of pretty women, I had never felt drawn to them, even when I tried.However, with Katie, it came naturally.My member hardened within a twinkle of an eye, and my body burned to hold her closer. Katie's words kept echoing in my head, pouring gasoline on the indescribable desire that woke me up in the first place.I groaned in response, and Katie scooted closer, her hands on my face
Princess Katie Anne~~I had no reason to doubt my mate anymore. Huh, maybe I do, but I have chosen to trust him and see where what we have takes us. I have also forgiven Dolf for choosing to leave me because that's what I needed to heal and move forward with Davien.“Speaking about moving forward, Katie, I believe it’s time to complete the mate bond with Davien,” Zuri chimed into my mind while my eyes lingered on Davien’s peaceful face.He was sleeping soundly beside me even though I couldn’t, as I was worried that the path he had chosen would hurt him. Just yesterday, he had taken the first steps toward deceiving his dad, and now we were waiting for Alpha Jarrett to respond to Davien's text.In a few hours, the sun would take its place in the sky, and I hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep—“What Zuri is trying to say is that you should consider taking Davien’s pants off, grabbing his cock, and riding him—,” Zoe began, explicitly explaining what Zuri had said.If I was close to falling a
DAVIEN~~I would be lying if I said my heart didn’t skip a beat when I first heard these words: “We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”However, seeing the way Katie reacted and stood up for me warmed my heart. She would have stood by me if I had said no to her parents. She wouldn’t have called me weak or pathetic. That was reassuring, and it helped me realize that I was in a safe place.That’s why I have chosen to accept this assignment.After all, saying no to my dad’s demands for information would be a very dangerous move. He wouldn’t be as cool-headed as the royal family. I thought to myself, “This is the best side for me to be on.”“We know this will be hard for you, Davien, which is why you can always back out,” Alpha King Raiden said before he even began to explain what I would be doing as a two-way spy.“I want to do this, King Raiden. I won’t back down until we contain the situation,” I uttered confidently.How I wished my heart
Princess Katie Anne~~“We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”My mom’s words pricked my soul like poisonous needles.“She has got to be kidding,” Zuri was quick to blurt.Zoe, on the other hand, stifled a groan. “They all have got to be kidding. We should keep him away from those who traumatized him, not push him toward them.”I completely agreed with my wolves. This was bizarre, and from the look on my dad's, Auntie Susanna's, and Beta Andrew’s faces, I could tell they knew about this plan as well. This was the assignment Davien had been anxious about.Although my mate tried to hide the fact that he was nervously waiting for my dad to tell him what the assignment would be, I didn’t fail to sense how fast his heart was racing through the bond.Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought my parents would want Davien to be a spy… to spy on his own family.Even though they had hurt him in the past, they remained his family. The best thin
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~Breakfast was jolly.Every member of my family was smiling and chatting happily. It felt good to see them happy, but that didn't stop my heart from pounding with every second that passed.“Seems like we aren't the only nervous ones around the table,” Rio muttered to me, urging me to look at Davien.The deep frown on Davien’s face was enough to know that he was worried about the assignment my Pa said he had for him. I wouldn't be worried if I were him because Pa wouldn't put him in charge of anything he couldn't handle.On the other hand, I wasn't certain I could handle saying the right words when I had to reject Camila. I tried to do it alone in my bedroom, but I was scared I would say the wrong words and wouldn’t be able to undo it.So I decided that I would do it before my family. Of course, my younger siblings wouldn't be there—I didn't trust Ronald not to lose his newly acquired cool if he somehow found out that rejecting his best friend was my way of
DAVIEN~~Every time I felt like I was understanding this family, they shocked me without trying. This morning, it started with a family duel. If that was normalized in my family, Damien and I would have killed each other, and maybe my dad would have ended my life long ago.I didn’t know what to expect when we got to the field behind the palace, but when the duel began, I realized that it was more of a fun bonding time than a violent moment.At least, that was what I believed as we cheered for Ronald and Kyle. However, that belief shifted when the tip of the wooden sword with Ronald tore Kyle’s skin enough to cause bleeding.The fun was sucked out of me even though I saw Ronald smiling genuinely for the first time in days. My eyes widened when Kyle launched another attack that seemed more intense than the previous ones.Yet, every member of the royal family cheered them on.“He is going to hurt him, Katie. Shouldn’t we stop this? I think it has gone too far,” I whispered to my mate
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE’S POV~~Despite thinking for the past two days, I still couldn’t come to a conclusion. Clearly, I had to break the bond between Camila and me, or more appropriately, I had to pause the bond. That was the best option.Yet I couldn’t seem to accept it.Instead, the bond was fighting against the thought of pausing it.However, it was only a matter of time before my family, including extended family like Camila’s parents, began to pester me. With that knowledge in mind, I forced myself out of bed that morning and decided to participate in the morning training with my family.Usually, we train on the field behind our home. Just us. Once a week.They were surprised to see me walk out through the back door, but they quickly pulled themselves together. At least everyone else did, but Ronald didn’t. My brother glared at me, burning deep holes into my head.He was such a good friend. Right?“We better have a talk with that one soon,” Rio said those words to me, and I could
Princess Katie Anne~~“Rejecting Camila is the best solution.”Auntie Susanna’s words echoed around us all, and my heart clenched painfully for Kyle and Camila.Her statement brought about questions, one being, “How is that the best solution?”Although I was too dazed to spark or ask questions, my mom wasn’t. She kept a straight face as she asked, “What do you mean, Suzy? We are looking for ways to prevent the kids from hurting. The pain of rejection is ten times worse than the pain of separation, Suzy.”Right? How on earth does rejection make sense?Even Uncle Andrew muttered, “That’s too extreme, Susanna. Camila’s wolf spirit could get hurt, and that would affect her. She might never get a wolf or shift if Kyle rejects her, and Kyle’s energy would also depreciate, which means he would become less worthy to become the next ruler.”We all looked back at Auntie Susanna, but as her lips parted, Kyle etched, leaving no room for argument, “I won’t reject her. I can never do that to her.
