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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. That was me. However, I was still– scared. Scared. Scared. I ran out of the room feeling both emotions. A part of me judged me and the other part agreed with me. Surprisingly, Lex also agreed with me. I put on my shorts before opening the apartment's entrance door. I knew I couldn’t survive another second of proximity to Aurelia, so I burst out of the apartment without wearing my shirt. Lex whined, “She won’t forgive us this time. Perhaps we made a mistake. We should go back and apologize.” “Don’t go weak on me all of a sudden. We made this decision together.” I scolded my wolf, my heart getting heavier with each step I took. What’s going on with me? For goddess’s sake!Why can’t I make a decision and stand by it?“It’s the mark. Aurelia’s emotions are pumping within your veins and filling up our minds. She is mad at you, Raiden.” Lex explained to me, reminding me that I was marked. I touched the sore spot on my neck and winced when it
AURELIA~~“I told you he would be back.” Inara laughed into my mind, causing me to smile evilly. After Raiden ran out of the room, Inara and I had a good laugh. My wolf not only assured me that Raiden would be back and completely at my mercy but she joined me as I planned how to teach Raiden a lesson. At first, I considered denying him the right to mark me. But I knew that would mess up his behavior, attention span, and leadership ability. How I wished we didn’t have to be focused at the moment. I would have had so much fun. “We can make him beg for it just like you have been begging.” Inara had said to me right before I heard Raiden enter the apartment. I tried to keep my face straight when he opened the bedroom door. His current state was torture but the kind he needed to claim me and give me parts of himself. “That sounds thrilling but you are the man I want. You better get over here and claim me before I change my mind.” As soon as those words past my lips, Raiden stagg
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Compared to how I have woken up for the past years of my life, I woke up fulfilled and whole today. Happiness coursed through me as my eyelids parted that morning and I instinctively moved to wrap my arms around Aurelia who I assumed would be beside me. However, she wasn’t. I literally flew out of bed, suddenly feeling alone. I panicked. “Look who now knows how it feels to be left alone after an intimate night.” Lex mocked me but I could still feel him trying to sniff Aurelia out. His mocking tone dropped as he gasped, “She isn’t in the house.” I rolled my eyes, trying to act strong even though my heart was racing fast. “I’m sure she’s here somewhere. Perhaps she went to train.” Not gonna lie, it hurt to think she left me in bed so she could train but after the number of times I had done the same or even worse to her, I knew better than to voice my hurt–“Sadly, I can hear and feel your hurt, Alpha Raiden.” Aurelia’s angelic voice boomed in my mind for the firs
LARISA’S POV~~“Where is he!” I was shaking with rage. The kind of rage that hits one’s core when it feels like control is slipping away, that was it. That was the kind of rage my body was shoving down my throat in alarming doses.The warriors I met at the entrance of the Alpha’s pack office looked at me like I had grown smaller… like they couldn’t see me none hear me. I scowled, “Have you gone deaf or do you want to go deaf because I can make that happen in an instant!” Undiluted fear flashed through their eyes despite their outer made-believe composure. I would be an idiot to think they were strong. Ants- that is what they are before me.“Apologies, Luna. we weren’t expecting to see you here.” One of them answered timidly. True. I don’t usually show up in this part of the pack because I believe I have no business here. My focus was on power, rituals, and leading the war.I rolled my eyes, “Where the fuck is he?” Another spineless warrior asked, “Who, Luna?” “Who else would
LARISA’S POV ~~Did he just yell at me? Did he just say I could do nothing?My head rang, Louis glaring at me like he had never done before. My body shook with rage yet my attention was on my panging heart. I forgot how to breathe– no. I forgot who I was at that very moment even though Louis just spelt my identity out.I considered harming him, killing him, or even teaching him a lesson. But I couldn’t. Something in my soul was stopping me.I whispered, “What the hell have you done to me?” This feeling. This hesitation. This uncertainty. This damn longing. “What the hell have you done to me?” I shouted, repeating the same question with urgency. I needed to know. Fuck!When we made a deal, I promised not to seduce him, tap into his energy, and use a spell on him. But he didn’t make such promises. I mean, what was stopping him from charming me if he could? He shouldn’t know how to but that was the only explanation for the craziness unfolding before my eyes… the feelings that
Princess Katie Anne ~~Hell no!Hell no! Hell fucking no!“You don’t have to. This is all a scheme to fish out the rebellious Alphas, but you don’t have to go back there,” I exclaimed, holding Davien’s gaze for a minute before my eyes shifted around the living room. I asked no one in particular, “Right? He doesn’t have to do this, right?”But no one responded.Everyone kept quiet as if they didn’t know what the text from Davien’s dad was all about.I mean, Alpha Jarrett had commanded my mate to return to the Black Fur pack for some unknown reason that I knew wouldn’t be good. I couldn’t let Davien go, not when we were just connecting on a deeper level.Not when my heart beat for him.And definitely not when I knew that being apart would drive my needy wolves crazy. In turn, my wolves would drive me crazier, and not to forget the hormones that have skyrocketed ever since the first time Davien made love to me.“It’s not a death sentence, Katie. Don’t you think you are reacting a litt
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~“Are you serious?” Camila asked after a few minutes of silence that must have made her realize that I wasn’t trying to be funny.I nodded, “Yes, I am, Mila. That letter has to be opened in five years when you turn eighteen years old.”The plan was simple—write letters to her on every birthday, and in each letter, I would tell her what I did the entire year. This particular letter contained how I found out she was my mate and everything I had to do so we could both have a normal life.I chose to do this because it was the only way I believed Camila would understand what had happened and why I had to do what I did. I didn’t want to risk losing our bond forever when she turned eighteen and hated me.“Exactly, Kyle. It’s five years away. Why give me a letter I can’t read for the next five years as a gift?”Of course, my brothers understood why, but they didn’t say a word, giving me the chance to say, “Because I am trying to teach you patience, Camila. Now do
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV~~While my family and Camila’s parents planned a surprise birthday party and forced me to be a part of it, I wanted to tell them that she would rather spend her birthday in a haven where books are unlimited and with a few friends.But they wouldn’t listen to me. That was why I let them plan the party, but that didn’t stop me from planning a different party for Camila.And of course, the venue we needed was my private library. Only a few people were invited. By "few," I meant Ronald, who was there because he wouldn’t miss his best friend's real birthday party; Kennedy, who still enjoyed reading; and Soraya, because she was the only female friend of Camila who wouldn’t spend the entire night trying to get my attention or that of my brothers, who weren’t even teenagers yet.We celebrated Camila by reading her favorite book, and soon it was time to gift her.Ronald took the lead, presenting a fancy box and saying, “You have been talking about these sneakers, so
Princess Katie Anne~~Three months went by in the twinkling of an eye.I had been training and had gotten better at using my spiritual energy. Although my physical strength was still so much better, my spiritual strength had grown strong enough for me to train confidently with Elora.Yeah, Elora, my little sister.She had rubbed it in my face a few times, but she was also a darling, helping me to train alongside the greatest trainers that I had been assigned to.Another thing I had achieved within the past three months was peace and happiness. I found all of that even though I now had to live away from my childhood home. I wouldn’t trade our little home for anything.I had come to love having a space that Davien and I could share despite my initial emotional outburst, and clearly, I wasn’t far enough away from my annoying siblings.“Right now, I want to be far away from everyone and break a few things,” Zoe seethed within me just as Davien’s scent hit my nostrils.My mate walked in
DAVIEN~~“I am sorry I undermined you before my family. Although that wasn't my intention, I did it regardless, and I am so sorry, Davien,” Katie said, her voice filled with sincerity even though we were lashing out at each other a few seconds ago.My chest rose and fell as if my heart were on the verge of stopping. I hated confrontations, and it was all because I had never gotten to speak my mind or express myself during any confrontation until now.I expressed myself, and Katie listened. She understood me. She set her emotions aside and chose to apologize to me.That made me feel like the luckiest man alive.I knew this would happen, and I might have been rehearsing the words I would say to Katie all day, even though I still couldn’t get my dad’s threat to kill her and the other white wolves out of my mind.Never had I been involved in politics. Until now, and I spent the whole day with Raiden and Aurelia. Yes, they finally made me call them by their names. After getting correcte
Princess Katie Anne~~It was no secret that Davien and I weren’t on the same page about the pool house that my parents wanted us to move into. Even though we had both spent the day away from each other, I couldn’t get him out of my mind.Mostly, this was due to the steamy love-making sessions we had enjoyed overnight. However, I still couldn’t shake off or ignore the annoyance simmering beneath my desire. I felt like Davien could have taken my side during breakfast this morning.I certainly wasn’t committing a crime by having sex with him, and no one saw me complaining about my parents, who we all knew had been in the game since before I was born—I mean, it’s the very reason I was conceived in the first place. Every member of my family knew me well enough to anticipate that Davien and I would eventually have a confrontation as soon as we were alone together. Unfortunately, we had been apart all day, and this issue kept burning within me, leaving me unfocused during both my physical
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE ~~“Ronald told me you would be here to bribe me, so I am not stunned to see you,” Camila stated, folding her arms around her small frame with a look of playful defiance.“It’s a gift, Mila. Reading the journal to you is not a bribe; it’s a gift,” I argued with a bright smile, mentally firing curse words at Ronald through our mental link.Of course, he told her. He was such a talker, always eager to spill whatever secrets he thought would spice up the atmosphere between him and his best friend.“Whatever, Prince Kyle,” she replied, rolling her eyes, even though a mischievous twinkle danced in them. “Whether this is a bribe or a gift, I will accept it, but I also have some conditions. Since you are the charming prince, you don’t have to—”“I will do anything if that means you will forgive me and stop being mad at me, Camila. I am not a charming prince with you. I am simply Kyle, your nerdy godbrother.” I cut her off, exhilarated by the freedom I felt around Camila,
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE (14)~~Unfortunately, breakfast wasn’t jolly this morning, and it all started with the argument between Katie and my Pa.As much as I envy Katie, who seemed to be on the path to completing her mate bond, I do not want to be in her shoes. Heck! I am glad I won't have to be for a long time. Discussing my sex life with my parents wasn’t on my to-do list.Speaking of my to-do list, I have one important task to do today. I left the palace after breakfast to get the task done.“You can’t go empty-handed though,” my wolf muttered, causing me to stop dead in my tracks.“Right, but what can I get for her?” I asked my wolf with confusion.I was heading over to the white wolves’ settlement to find Camila, who usually spends her mornings with other white wolf kids. Since our schedule hasn’t been the same since my birthday, I wasn’t sure she would be in my library after her morning routine, so I decided to find her this morning.“How about the rewrite of Grandma Elora’s journa
DAVIEN~~“We are kicking you out, Katie,” Queen Aurelia said after a minute of uncomfortable silence. “See it as a gift.”“How is the pool house a gift? It’s nothing compared to my room, Mom,” Katie countered, her voice barely a whisper.I held her hand under the table, waiting to understand the situation before butting in.“It’s a gift because we are giving you your place and privacy. We don’t have to hear you and your mate all night and have this weird conversation every day—” Alpha King Raiden chimed in.However, Katie cut him off. “We don’t have to talk about it, Dad. It’s weird to you, but to me, it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Stop making it seem—”“Please don’t discuss this further, Katie. I am begging you,” King Raiden pleaded, his face turning white.I could imagine being in his shoes and having to hear my daughter moaning all through the night. While I wouldn’t find it disgusting, I would find it disturbing. Katie was his daughter. Once upon a time, she
