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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I saw and felt every emotion zapping through my mate as her eyes shifted from one part of the hall to another. Fuck! Hall. I quickly corrected myself even though I knew Aurelia understood me, “Welcome to the grand hall built within our home as you will be–” Perhaps she did it to save me from stuttering as her beauty made it hard for my brain to function. Whatever her reason was, Aurelia tiptoed and captured my lips right there before everyone, including our silly kids whose giggles filled my ears like music while I held on to their breathtaking mother. I could taste the flavor of her lipgloss as I deepened the kiss, thinking about how I would peel this dress off her later, in our new room… In our new home. The kiss lasted until Mia Lu walked up to us and said, “We have to get started before we can end the ceremony and you both can eat each other’s face for as long as you want.” True, kissing the bride should be reserved for the end of the ceremony. But what i
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Thankfully, before I could forget that today was meant for celebration, Mia Lu voiced, her words resonating through the hall, “This water now carries the essence of the soul of every white wolf alive, Aurelia Seer King and to become our Alpha, you have to be capable of holding this essence within you. Do you dare to drink this water?”Aurelia took the bowl from Mia Lu and at that instant, I could see that her eyes had turned white like it did when she transformed weeks ago. Her voice came out with peace and confidence, “I, Aurelia Seer King dare to become your Alpha, White Wolves of the Great White Shade Pack.” As soon as she said those words, she brought the bowl to her lips and right before our eyes, she drank the water. She didn’t stop until she emptied the bowl and returned it to Mia Lu, her eyes still glowing. “It’s time to take the Alpha’s pledge, Aurelia Seer King.” Mia Lu muttered. “Repeat after me.” Aurelia did as told. She repeated these words, “I, Aureli
AURELIA~~That wasn’t the birthday I expected. I mean, how do I go from being sad this morning to being this happy? The kind of happiness flowing with my blood could be enough to make a thousand people laugh for days like they inhaled laughing gas, I was on cloud ten, and still ascending.“I can barely contain it. I want to shift, Relia, and run around the house with the loudest howl.” Inara uttered happily, jumping around in my head.“Thank you for telling me. Now I know to keep you locked up. I can’t have you forcing a shift on my wedding night or running around when I could be getting pleasured in bed.” I muttered to my wolf, the smell of my arousal hitting my nostrils way before Raiden let out a deep growl.He etched, looking back at me as his hold on my hand tightened, “I thought I should show you around our new home before taking you to the room but smelling like that? Relia, we won’t make it past the hallway.” Consummating our wedding in the hallway? That sounds eroticall
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
Princess Katie Anne~~I could feel my heart racing even though I tried to hide it and control the rush of emotions that attacked my nervous system the second we drove into Black Fur pack.Somewhere at the back of my mind, I could see my younger self giggling as we drove out of Black Fur. I could see the big smile on my face because I was excited to leave the pack for the first time in my life.I recalled holding my mom and Kyle while my little mind rapidly took in the possibility of adventure that awaited us, even though I didn’t know half of the thoughts that were racing through my mom’s mind that day.I bet she was terrified that day, but she kept a strong face for Kyle and me. Now, it was my turn to be strong for Davien and my family.As Garrick drove the car towards the Alpha’s mansion, following Davien’s direction, I tried to look around, searching for some sort of familiarity, even though I knew recognizing anything or anyone from my childhood here would stir up my emotions.
DAVIEN~~After a day of packing and a farewell dinner with the entire family, Katie and I were ready to leave Dark Moon Pack and journey to my birth pack, which was also her birth pack because she and Kyle were born in Black Fur.I was still scared of what could happen on this trip, but I had been working on it after realizing that my dad would feast on my fear. Also, I was beginning to like the idea of having Katie by my side in Black Fur.“I don’t want you to leave.” Elora’s whimpers pierced through my thoughts. She was clinging to Katie, but her eyes were on me, and I could see tears glinting within her bright orbs. “We are a family. We should stick together.”“Don’t be silly, Elora,” Ronald breathed softly and walked up to where Elora and Katie were standing. “We’ve talked about this, right? Katie and Davien have to leave, but they will be back before we know it.”“They don’t even know when they will return,” Elora countered, tears trickling down her small face as her eyes shift
Princess Katie Anne~~My feelings remained unchanged. I didn't want to leave my family, but neither did I want to be apart from my mate.However, I would have to sacrifice a few days with my family if that meant I could show Alpha Jarrett that I wasn't one to be messed with. I was no weak princess whom he could terrify.I was Katie Anne Flockhart, daughter of the powerful Aurelia Seer King Flockhart.Of course, I intended to show Alpha Jarrett that, but not before I made Davien mark me, even if I had to tie him down to get it done. I knew he could tell I was on a mission even before we entered the pool house that had become our home for the past three months."I expect a response from my dad by morning, but I better start packing before going to bed." Davien uttered as soon as I closed the main door behind me, telling me he would pack for me as well. "You can go to bed. I will join you as soon as I am done packing."Smooth.I mean, Davien's effort to avoid going to bed with me beca
DAVIEN~~Taking Katie with me to my family’s territory was like leading a sheep into a lion's den. Katie was a strong woman, but I wouldn’t want to test just how strong she was by endangering her life—the same life that my dad had threatened so many times in the past few months just to have his way.“Aside from that, Katie wouldn’t want to leave her family. She is tied to them,” Dolf said into my mind, agreeing with me.But the other people in the living room didn’t think the same way, and I couldn’t blame them. After all, none of them knew about my dad’s threats.“Can we stop cursing and express objections in a more polite manner?” Queen Aurelia chimed in, looking at Katie and me in particular.I nodded, but before I could speak, King Raiden uttered, raising his brows, “Why are you against Katie going with you? It’s the best solution.”All eyes turned to me, and I could feel my palms dripping with sweat. Do I tell them that my dad claims he can wipe out white wolves—the only clan
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
