Look who is back... Thank you for reading. Love, Kiki.
AURELIA~~“Look at me.” He grunted out an order, sending shivers down my spine as he slammed into me like a beast. “Look into my eyes, mate!” Another order came and this time, I obeyed him even though it was hard to fight against the need to let my eyes roll to the back of my skull while he tore me apart with every thrust. I looked into the mesmerizing gray pair of eyes that I had come to love. I felt every part of him sinking into me roughly and pleasure and pain accompanied each thrust. For some minutes, the pleasure outweighed the pain but my body still recognized the pain my mate… the man I loved with every bone in my body was causing me while he chased after his pleasure. Despite the dull discomfort between my legs, I still found myself moaning when my mate drove himself into me the minute our gazes locked, “Alpha.” I itched to cry out his name. I wished I could give in to my desire, let my fingers sink into his dirty blond hair, and guide his head downwards until our lips
AURELIA~~I have always known no one in the pack respected me as their Luna but until now, no one except Nina had the guts to disrespect me to my face. They usually murmured and laughed at me behind my back but they wouldn't dare lay their hands on me.But that changed the minute Nina gave the warriors an order that I didn't know would change my life forever… “What are you doing? You can’t do this!” I yelled, struggling to free myself from the stronghold of the warriors whose hands were crushing my shoulder as they attempted to yank me out of the kitchen.My struggles were futile, of course. I was pulled out of the kitchen like a lightweight paper by the warriors despite my screams of protest. “What are you planning to do with me?” Are they kidnapping me, I asked myself but quickly blurted another question. “What gives you the right to touch me? I belong to the Alpha and he would have your head for ever laying your hands on me!” Nina laughed hysterically. She told the warriors
AURELIA~~It was her. I knew her. Although I was yet to see her face as she was cooped up in my mate's arms and her back was to me while her face was getting loved on by the man that was supposed to be mine– by the man who didn’t give me as little as a peck on the cheek despite being married and mated to him for the past three years. First time in my mate’s office and this was what I saw? Huh? The familiar shiny long blond hair was enough to let my crashing self know that the woman in my mate’s arms was no other than Princess Larisa Wellington, his ex-girlfriend. My lips trembled, my entire body shook as every part of my already shattered heart broke into tiny pieces and my puffy eyes were filled with hot tears once again. I wasn’t usually a crybaby even though everyone around thought so but how do I stop crying when I was witnessing the end of my life? Heck! He had never kissed me. I had never gotten the opportunity to be kissed by him… by anyone at that. Yet, he was kissi
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I could feel rage still boiling inside of me even though several hours had passed since the woman I was forced to marry and mate with tried to sever the same bond that I sacrificed my happiness to create. The nerve of her! Who does she think she is? Some goddess in charge? Tsk… My eyes caught the dark sky of the night as I emptied another shot of the strongest tequila in my bar, kinda hoping that it would kill my anger and stabilize my spiraling emotions but drinking didn’t help me. Within a few minutes, I was drunk yet I didn't stop drinking. “Why am I still sensing anger from you, Raid.” The soothing voice of the woman my heart beat for, echoed through the bar and my eyes eagerly searched for the beauty of her face. “Don’t tell me you are drunk because of her.” I couldn’t stop myself from smiling sheepishly when Larisa’s face popped before mine. She left to meet up with her old friends a few hours after the woman I was forced to marry vexed me. I might be dr
AURELIA~~“No”I let out that word despite knowing that it would only fuel Alpha Raiden’s anger. He could get angry but I had the right to say no to him. I was done with him. I was done giving him every part of me without asking for parts of him in return. I was done loving him with all of me even though my heart was kicking against the idea of that. “What was that, mate?” Alpha Raiden asked, his voice low and challenging. I inhaled sharply, finding it hard to repeat that single word. I averted my eyes and took steps away from him and the bed. He shouldn’t be able to keep me around while he wants another woman– but he could do that. He was the Alpha. He could have his cake and eat it. “Do you need me to repeat myself, woman!” Alpha Raiden growled impatiently and I nearly jumped out of my own skin as he pumped fear into my bloodstream. He started peeling his shirt off without caring about me and angrily, he hissed, his eyes burning holes into my face, “Strip this instance!”Th
AURELIA~~The next few days went in a blur. Much to my relief and dismay, Alpha Raiden stopped coming to the room. He hasn’t been here for the past two nights. He didn't let me leave the sex room and I also didn't know what was going on out there in the pack. I also didn’t have the energy to do anything more than shower in the adjoining bathroom and wrap myself in the sheets that still smell like Alpha Raiden and I. I was crazy for and about him. As stupid as that might sound. Usually, my meals were delivered to me by servants who would push my tray of almost disgusting food through the space that I woke up to find underneath the door. The space was just big enough to let the tray in and out of the room. Clearly, I had been living the life of a prisoner yet I dared not reject Alpha Raiden and free myself from the torment he was putting me through. The fear of what he was capable of doing to me if I tried to reject him again kept getting in the way… or maybe I was too scared of
AURELIA~~I lay in bed… in agony. My eyes were swollen and my body burning from the intense and unbearable pain that I had to endure all through the night. It was a new day – the day Larisa would be crowned Luna of the Dark Moon pack. The day I would be dethroned and publicly insulted. Perhaps I should be out there fighting for my title and my mate but I was still suffering from all she and Alpha Raiden spent the night doing. I felt it all this time. Maybe it was because Larisa already told me about their steamy moments, I couldn't tell but I felt the effect of every thrust, touch, and kiss that my mate pleased Larisa with over the night. For some reason, the bond carried Alpha Raiden’s betrayal to me.I lay in bed lifelessly. “Please take my soul now, Moon Goddess. Let me die now. I can’t take this anymore.” I thought to myself, hoping that the moon goddess would hear my internal cry as I couldn’t part my lips to speak. I just wanted to die. If I died, everyone would get t
AURELIA ~~ I couldn’t remember the last time I was this happy. No! No, I actually do. The last time I was exceedingly happy was the day I found out that the charming Alpha Prince who had saved me from bullies countless times was my destined mate. Gosh, I was so happy. I foolishly believed that he would be good to me and that we would have a great family. That was the last time I felt real happiness. And to be honest, even right now, I felt something more than happiness. I felt fear. Fear for the life of my child if anyone finds out that I am pregnant. Larisa would have me killed and from his past reactions to me, Alpha Raiden would definitely get rid of my child and me just so he could have a clear path back to his lover. I gasped, “I need to get out of here. I need to go far away from all of them.” In haste, I tried to push myself off the bed but I failed miserably, falling right back on the bed when the pain I had forgotten seized my body again. “Aahh…” I cried out
ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~As my eyes fluttered open, I could have sworn that my body had forgotten what it meant to be alive. Opening my eyes was harder than it should ever be for anyone but adjusting my eyes to the brightness around me was way harder than opening them. I let out a groan when I tried to lift a finger and pain consumed me. My entire body ached. I felt so heavy.“Alpha. You are awake.” Louis. That was his voice but it sounded more like noise to me as his voice sent a sharp ring through my aching head, making me groan again. At the moment, I didn’t feel like an Alpha. It took forever before I could see clearly and Louis's face was the first thing I saw. He was hovering above me, looking at me like he was scanning me for damages. “Thank the Goddess. I was beginning to worry that you might never wake up–” Louis stated, smiling. But seeing him so close to me sent flashes of what I knew was the past through my mind. I recalled everything. How he joined forces with Laris
aryAURELIA~~“We can’t give up like this, Relia. You shouldn’t give up like this. Mend him. Do something.” Inara uttered, urging me even though Raiden was gone. Do something… I couldn’t count the number of times I had heard those two words today and I hated the sound of it, mostly because I couldn’t do anything. “Yes you can, Alpha.” Tamia’s voice echoed in my mind. I didn’t know how she managed to reach me despite the turmoil my mind had become but she did and her voice would have given me some sort of peace if I wasn’t mourning my mate… My teary eyes found Tamia and Lori beside me, making me wonder how long I had sat in the dirt with Raiden’s body. For how long has his heart been crushed right there in my presence? For how much longer can I keep this devastating news from my kids–“Oh, my kids.” I cried out, undiluted misery settling within my being, making itself at home. They just got their father. How do I tell them it would be just us from now on? How do I manage this
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 pure
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 slip
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
