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, “Now I
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 RFaiden’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 markin
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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~My lungs were threatening to close as my chest rose and fell rapidly. My eyes scanned the field quickly, taking in the damages that had been done within three hours of training with my warriors, both male and female. It was an intense one. One where I had all warriors against me as I tested their strength and showed them their weaknesses.I knew I couldn’t save all of them but I could only hope many of them wouldn’t die in the forseen war. “That was merciless.” Andrew groaned as he settled beside me.He was one of the warriors that I defeated first and the rest of them were still dragging themselves off the field. I must say, the white wolves were getting stronger and I couldn’t be happy. Although the war plan had them within the pack and not at the frontline to protect them from going extinct. They have many parts to play still. “The war will be merciless.” I finally responded to my Beta as Healers rushed in to help warriors who couldn’t go to the hospital. “I
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 pur
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 sli
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
AURELIA~~“You did it, Alpha.” Jeremy’s words echoed in my mind. He was satisfied. I could tell, even though I wasn’t looking at his face, that he was smiling. Together we have extended our spiritual energy and every warrior with his now has enough to fight against Larisa’s warriors. I have been trying to study their behavior and movement since we arrived. They seemed strange and I had also reported everything I noticed to Tamia and Lori through the mind link. The duo promised to start working on breaking Larisa’s hold on the warriors of Black Fur who might still decide to fight us afterward but when we get to that bridge we will cross it.“Stay with me, Alpha. You can’t be distracted now that you have announced yourself to the witch.” Jeremy warned me, becoming a friend faster than I could ever imagine. He had my back.I felt safe with him.“For how long can we keep this going?” I asked Jeremy through the mind link, my eyes on Andrew who has his hand on one of our opponent’s hea
LARISA’S POV ~~That bastard Jake!He couldn’t do anything right!He failed to save my parents and now he even failed to kill this bitch…I didn’t see this coming and I hated the sight of her. I felt like pulling all my hair out just because she was standing there and wasn’t an illusion. And did that warrior just refer to her as the Luna of Dark Moon Pack? This has to be wrong. I was hallucinating–“Oh, I’m very real, Larisa,” Aurelia said to me like she could hear my thoughts. Yes, I was screaming them in my head but still, she…Argh! Aurelia chuckled, fueling my rage as she said, “For me, it’s good to see you again, Larisa because not only have I taken my rightful place as Raiden’s mate and Luna of this pack but I’m also his wife and the mother of his kids.” Her words ripped me apart, limb by limb. That was my biggest dream. To be everything to Raiden but she had always been in the way and now? Now she was living my dreams–“And of course, that’s the least of my achievements
AURELIA~~I heard him scream. I heard him plead. I heard him lose his cool. Scratch that, I felt it more, his emotions pushing through our bond in a way that had me standing outside the shield for what seemed like forever even though I had no time to waste. I just couldn’t bring myself to move away from the house even though it was hidden perfectly within Tamia’s shield. I could see beyond the shield if I wanted to but I was scared I would change my mind if I was to see Raiden again. I was afraid I would let him out because he doesn't deserve to be locked up against his will–“We have to move now, Luna Aurelia,” Seth said to me, without asking questions about why I had to lock Raiden up. Even Andrew who was standing on my other side didn’t question me. It was as if they knew. I also didn’t ask them any questions as my feet failed to move away from the shield. I didn’t realize Andrew was experiencing the same until I heard him groan in pain. Susanna was also beyond his reach a
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Without hesitation, I agreed with Lex because I couldn’t imagine my family without me even though they lived well without me in the past…I couldn’t imagine living in the Great Beyond without them– if there was a Great Beyond. Heck, nothing would be great about a place where my family wouldn’t be–Katie etched, calling me back to reality, “Can I go with you? I can fight too.” Truly, she could fight. She has been training with Seth and Tara, the strongest female warrior if Aurelia isn’t in the group. My daughter was a little warrior but she was one I wouldn’t want on the battlefield.Her innocence was to be protected for as long as possible so I answered, “You will fight right here beside Mia Lu and every others that will be staying behind. They need you to protect them.” Katie didn’t seem convinced but she nodded regardless while Kyle just looked at us. He didn’t utter a word, not until I asked him, “Everything okay, buddy?” My son held my gaze for a second before
ALPHA RAIDEN~~The war was here. The same one that would claim my life and make my kids fatherless. The same one that would make the woman I love a widow– mateless. The same one I have been dreading since Aurelia started falling in love with me again. The same one–“Snap out of it, Raiden. Death or not we still have to fight!” My wolf barked at me as I mindlessly stood beside Aurelia in the same hall where we married. “Aurelia is right. You gave up even before the war. It’s like you are willing to die–” “If that will keep them safe, then yes, I’ll die.” I cut my wolf off. “You can’t keep them safe by being a living dead!” Lex seethed. “Look at her taking over and leading alone even though you are still here. Wake up, Raiden or Aurelia will die before the so-called predicted death gets to you!” My wolf’s words hit me hard.I tried to pull myself together just as Aurelia started addressing the people in the hall. When I built the hall and had some of my pack engineers work on it
