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 was getting better. There was no explanation but I knew I was getting better at being a Mender, a memory reader, a spiritual Guardian— heck, I was getting better at being the last living King. I was becoming a better version of myself so I wasn’t surprised when Jeremy muttered a compliment with a straight face, “Excellent, Aurelia. That is how you do it!”“I can’t believe I just did that.” I squealed, looking at the Dark Moon warrior who had just gained the ability to lift a tiny rock– an elemental power just like Otis’s. Despite how tiny the rock was, I was proud of myself. “You just did. He can’t access more strength because you are currently tired but with time, the warriors you extend your abilities to will be just as strong as you.” Jeremy explained to me. Just yesterday, Lori also said to me, “The mark must be making you stronger. Your growth after you got marked has been amazing.”Tamia wasn’t left out. She also commented on my newfound strength by saying, “Y
AURELIA~~Susanna and I have been talking about our birthdays all week but despite the excitement we both expressed to each other, I knew that we were still holding on to the hurt from our past– the pain from the loss and the guilt that came with the mere thought of celebrating on such a day.Although Susanna hid it well, I could tell she felt the same way.But despite our fear, my birthday was here and hers was just seven days away. As I got out of bed that morning with zero expectations from anyone, I moved to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for my kids and Raiden who was still snoring in bed with the twins snuggled around him. As I whisked some eggs in a bowl, Inara muttered to me with the same mixed feelings that I have come to know too well, “Happy Birthday, Aurelia Seer King.” “Happy? I guess so.” I responded with a sigh. “We promised Susanna that we would celebrate this year, Relia. This is not a celebrating mood.” Inara etched. “We have a lot to be grateful for this yea
AURELIA~~“Oh, look! It's the birthday girl.”Tamia exclaimed when I entered the living room of the white wolves’ pack house.My cold mood turned warm when I saw the affection in her eyes as she closed the distance between us with open arms.My face lit up, “How did you know?”I mean, I didn't tell her. Just like I didn’t tell Raiden. “How wouldn’t I? Aside from being your grand aunt, I have been listening to you and Susanna squeal about this day for the past few days.” Tamia laughed, pulling me into her bosom for a warm hug. I sighed in relief, feeling at home in her arms.Softly, she said to me while still holding me, “Happy 27th birthday to you, Aurelia Seer King.” I choked on the sudden surge of emotions within me and closed my eyes, savoring the sweetness of this moment. But all of a sudden, my ears were filled with a uniform chant from the white wolves. Every one of them. I didn’t know how they came to gather so fast but they did.“Happy Birthday Princess Aurelia Seer Kin
ALPHA RAIDEN~~“You don’t want to know how hard it has been to keep a straight face.” After leaving Aurelia in the apartment, I exhaled as soon as I saw Andrew, ignoring the hurt in her stormy blue eyes.“The look on her face when she realizes your surprise will be worth it. Trust me, Raid.” Andrew muttered.“I hope so.” I told my best friend, ignoring the discomfort the nickname ‘Raid’ caused in my heart. I was beginning to hate that version of my name thanks to Larisa whose name I shouldn’t be thinking on my woman’s birthday. I looked at Andrew and asked, “Are you certain you want to celebrate Susanna today? I don’t see why you can’t wait till her birthday. It’s just seven days away.”Andrew shook his head, “I’m certain. I have to do this today if I want it to still be a surprise. I mean if you surprise Aurelia today and I don’t do the same for my mate, she would see it coming on her birthday. I want her to be surprised.”“That makes a lot of sense,” I mumbled, walking to the mid
AURELIA~~Using the word “Breathtaking” to describe myself or more precisely, the reflection of me that I was staring at in the mirror would be an understatement. All my life, I had been basic. Basic Luna. Basic Mate. Basic warrior and perhaps a basic friend. The one thing I did right was being more than basic to my babies– Katie and Kyle.But as soon as I wore this dress, I could feel myself transitioning from mere basic to extraordinary. From this moment onward, the old basic me ceased to exist. I stepped out of the room with Iris and Susanna beside me and for some reason, neither of them mentioned Raiden while they were dressing me up. It was as if he wasn’t supposed to be here… as if they knew he wouldn’t be here. If I wasn’t too afraid to know more, I would have asked Iris but I’d rather hold my tongue.“Mama!” Kyle gasped when he saw me. “You look like a bride! Ouch–” I couldn’t see what happened between the twins but Kyle’s cry caught my attention and I frowned at Katie
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.
