AURELIA

~<>~

Perhaps it was anger or hate, I couldn’t tell.

Or maybe it was both.

I was angry that Tristan was back to his feet even though I permitted Lori to send some Mender to Black Fur Pack to help him after Beta Louis took the oath, signed the peace treaty, and pleaded for help.

I was so angry that my mate had to fall and Tristan got to rise again even though he didn’t deserve it.

And for the hate, it was simple– I hated Tristan.

Although my hate for Larisa was greater, Tristan wasn’t far from being another Larisa to me–

“Talking about that bitch. She has had enough peace, don’t you think? It’s time we pay her another visit.” Inara snarled into my mind, fueling the hatred in my heart.

My wolf had taken a hobby in tearing Larisa apart since she had become our prisoner– one that I wasn’t ready to kill just yet. Each time we pay her a visit in her cell, we torture her until death flashes before her eyes, leave her to healers to heal her, and return to start the process all over

    ALPHA TRISTAN~~“You should take your leave.” The he-wolf who smelled like a strong gamma seethed at me. “She doesn’t want to see you.”Although I had been standing by the border of Dark Moon Pack for hours, I intended to remain there until I got to see Aurelia. “C’mon, Gamma Seth. You know we mean no harm.” Louis, who had officially resumed his duties as my Beta after I was reinstalled as Alpha, said to the strong Gamma. “This is a peaceful visit.”I simply listened as my Beta negotiated with the Gamma, feeling more like Louis was the Alpha. I would be lying if I said I haven’t felt useless these past few days. After regaining consciousness, I found out that Louis had become more influential, not only in my pack. Obviously. “Your ego is bruised?” Dolf mocked me. But his assumptions weren’t exactly the case. I just couldn’t wait to get back my strength and become myself again. “This isn’t about your intention, Beta Louis. It’s about my Alpha and Luna's wishes.” The Gamma answere

    AURELIA~~“I thought we would take it all out on him?” Inara etched into my mind as I slowly made my way home after seeing Tristan. She was referring to the anger still very much alive within me. “You have so much left. I suggest we visit the witch tonight–” I stunned myself and Inara when I said, “I think I’d rather stay at home with my family tonight.” Usually, or more accurately, most nights, I visit Larisa’s cell and our at my anger on her. But I didn’t have the will to hear her cry tonight, not that she has suddenly become less deserving of torture but my kids deserve to see me before going to bed tonight. They deserve their mama.“They do, don’t they?” Inara affirmed sadly. I knew my wolf was worried I would break down when I saw Raiden just lying in bed again but I was determined to be with Katie and Kyle even if that meant I had to stare at Raiden– evidence of my failure. A part of my consciousness pumped these words into my mind, “Doesn’t Raiden deserve to feel your p

    AURELIA~~Today makes it eighty days since the war and eighty days since I failed to wake Raiden up. Today also made it five days since I found a way to stop blaming myself for Raiden’s condition. I had gotten to the stage where I accepted and affirmed that I did all I could to save him and his beating heart was evidence. Heck, I gave him more than half of my own soul and didn’t recover for weeks after the war. Heck, he was the one choosing not to wake up and I was so over blaming myself. “Say something, Lori,” Iris stated, urging Lori who had come into the house to examine Raiden after I cleaned his body and dressed him up.I had given the responsibility of examining Raiden to Lori. After all, at some point, I thought he wasn’t waking up because I was doing something wrong. Lori sighed, her gaze shifting from me to Iris and then to the other people in the room– Andrew, Susanna, Tamia, Seth, Otis, Benji, Jeremy, and Pheobe. She looked at every one of us before she chimed, “This

    AURELIA~~“Why can’t we spend the night here at home, Mama?” Kyle asked with an attitude that he definitely got from his sister.“Yes, mom. Why do we have to spend the night at grandma’s? I want to stay here with you and Dad.” Katie backed up her brother. Iris who was standing behind the twins placed one hand on her heart, “Ouch. Grandma has feelings, you know?”Together, they muttered an apology to Iris who stared at them with the same love she had in her eyes the first time she saw them. Despite Raiden’s state, Iris had maintained her confident aura. Although we all knew she was struggling, she didn’t let it consume her like I once did. I gazed at my kids, thinking of a better and less 18+-rated explanation– something that doesn’t say “I’ll be having sex with your daddy tonight in hopes of waking him up so we can all live happily ever after.”I eventually settled for telling a white lie to protect my kids' innocence. I told them, “Grandma miss having you guys over for the night

    AURELIA~~A loud cry escaped my lips as my body and mind woke up. Or so I thought. I recalled crying to bed and I understood why that happened but nothing prepared me for the kind of cry that slipped past my lips as my eyes fluttered open, taking in the darkness in the room. It wasn’t morning yet. My body stiffened as I considered the possibility of this being a dream.But as soon as that thought crossed my mind, I felt the sensation that made me cry in the first place. I felt it again. In the same spot and just as prominent as the previous one. Rather than cry this time, my breath hitched and raw pleasure traveled up my spine, leaving me panting like I had been swimming laps in the longest pool in the realm. Was there even a pool–My thoughts, mind, body, soul, and spirit froze at that moment as realization hit my core, dragging me into reality as my eyes adjusted to the dark room. Inara resurfaced in my mind and uttered one word I thought I would never hear her say again… I m

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   246. Intimate Night

    AURELIA ~~ Due to the fear in my heart, I couldn’t sleep deeply but when I did it didn’t last up to an hour. I jolted into a sitting position and as soon as I realized that it was morning, I turned around to wake Raiden up. I thought to myself, “He has had enough sleep.” However, Raiden wasn’t in bed when I turned to wake him up. I can boldly say that today was the first time I smiled despite waking up to an empty bed. This is the first time I was happy that Raiden left me in bed after what I would define as an intimate night. Because his absence told me that truly, he was awake. Unless I was still dreaming– “It’s not a dream, Baby. I’m awake.” Raiden’s voice sent sparks through my body as it bounced off my mind, assuring me that this moment and every feeling that came with it, was very real. I got off the bed and threw on the first flimsy gown that I saw as I asked him, “Where are you?” Gosh, I couldn’t wait to see our babies' reaction when they see their daddy, and n

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~The number of times I had blinked since I woke up beside Aurelia was countless and even as I exited the bathroom in a robe, I still kept blinking just so I could be sure that this wasn’t another sick game. That this scene where Aurelia was guiding my weak steps and my kids were jumping in our bedroom wasn’t some sick game that my mind was playing again just to torture me like it has been doing since the very day I felt Aurelia’s energy zapping through my dead veins and mending my crushed heart… bring me back to life. I was conscious of that moment and everyone that came after. I was conscious but I couldn’t open my eyes. I did lose track of time but it felt like I had been trapped for eternity and not eighty days. Also, I couldn’t feel much or hear much. Not even Aurelia even though she must have been spending time with me. That scared me so much that I stopped fighting my own mind and my consciousness was shoved into the darkest pit that existed there. I could

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   248. Send-Off Party

    AURELIA~~I made sure the party ended within two hours as I didn’t want Raiden to be stressed. The only reason I agreed to it was because I knew it was necessary as the pack deserved to confirm Raiden’s well-being. After all, we all missed him and it would be unfair to keep him to myself. Immediately after the general party ended, our friends and family moved to our home to have dinner or what I would call a reunion after days of sadness, guilt, sorrow, and depression. Nina and a few servants served us all cake as we sat in the big sitting room. Andrew raised a toast after the servants poured red wine into our glasses. He said, “To Alpha Raiden.”“To Alpha Raiden.” We all raised and toasted.Katie and Kyle also raised their glass of orange juice along with us. It was a beautiful moment. Raiden cleared his throat, getting everyone’s attention. Is eyes moved from one side of the room to another as he looked at everyone and they ended on me. He held my gaze as he whispered, “I’d l

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Oh, the time is really now.” That was my mom’s voiceAs soon as I heard it, I tried to make out her face despite how blurry my sight had gotten. “Mom, what’s going on? I’m in pain. Please help me.” My shaky voice came out as a plea, and immediately, I felt my mom’s presence beside me, her hands touching my body as the black from Black Fur lowered my body into the purifying lake. It wasn’t a surprise that my mom’s hands weren’t burning my skin like the others, excluding the boy from Black Fur.Of course, I still remembered his name. I just couldn’t bring myself to care about it right now.The relief I felt after the water took me in was exactly what I needed to repeat my question, “What’s going on, Mom?”I needed answers. I needed to know why my head was banging hard enough to tear into two and why the boy from Black Fur could touch me. I wanted all the answers she could give. But rather than respond, my mom looked at my Nana Tamia, who stepped forward and s

    DAVIEN~~This was very weird. I’m not one to step forward in a crowded hall and offer to help a Princess in pain. That could have been Damian, my twin brother, but not me, and everyone who knew me because they were close to the family or part of my family could testify to this. But here I was, holding the ‘Princess Katie’… the very one. She was known for many things.Her strength. Her confidence. Her beauty. Her sharp tongue. Her hot temper. But most importantly, her lack of wolf. Everyone in the realm knew that, and she had been labeled the only noble wolf without a wolf. However, that wasn’t entirely true–“How is his temperature on your body, Sweetie?” Alpha King Raiden asked his daughter, who had buried her face in my belly while I was lost in thought. The Princess opened her eyes, blowing me away with the stormy blue eyes that she was known for. I could see the wide sea in her eyes and the wide sky as well. However, I could also tell that she wasn’t stable at the moment.

    Princess Katie Anne~~I was burning up from within and all I could do was scream. Soon enough, my parents were beside me and as I teared up, I saw Cole’s parent with him as well. My Dad gathered me in his arms, rocking me like he used to do when I was seven. “You will be alright, Sweetie. We are here.” He whispered into my ears, sitting on the bare floor of the grand hall even though he was the King… Yes, I was his daughter so I was more important to him.“What’s happening to her Ma?” Kyle cried out. “This can’t be because of the rejection. She doesn’t even have a wolf.” I could feel my brother’s worry through the twins’ bond and the urge to reach out to him and assure him that I was fine was strong, but not as strong as the force splitting me into two equal halves. How do I know it was equal halves? I could tell.. Somehow. I screamed again… and again… and again.I nearly missed my mom’s statement as pain dulled my mind, but thankfully, I didn’t, “It’s happening, Tamia. Lori

    Princess Katie Anne~~“There’s something I have to tell you, baby…” My Mom breathed into my ears as we held each other and moved to the soft rhythm of the song. She still calls me baby. I was one of her eighteen years old baby. That brought a smile to my face.Also knowing that she was about to apologize to me for Dolf made the smile widen and I was about to tell her that I didn’t want to think about Dolf now... It was almost midnight…. I was almost eighteen. Like Elora said, it was a new era and the pain and anger of Dolf’s death shouldn’t go into the new era with me. However, my mom started talking again, “I know you have been challenged many times within these past two years, and as much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I also have to warn you so you can be prepared.” I shook my head, “No, Mom… Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know what you saw–” But I also wanted to know. Yet, I was terrified. Her tone terrified me. “I would be a bad mother if I didn’t tell you, ba

    Princess Katie Anne~~The eighteenth birthday of every wolf had always been unique. Even more than the sixteenth birthday when we got to have wolves– I was the exception; the only one in the entire Royal Dark Moon Pack.As expected, the grand hall where we have celebrated many wins since my parent moved us into our home, had been decorated with designs that suit the taste of not just me but also my twin brother. I don’t know how Mom does it but every year, she manages to fix a theme that satisfies both Kyle and me for our birthdays– Oh, I know how she does it. She is a Seer and a mind Reader after all. I couldn’t hold that against her though. I mean, thanks to her abilities, Kyle and I have always had the best birthdays, only compared to our siblings' birthdays, in the entire realm. And as always, I noticed guests from far and wide in the realm of the hall. My eyes lit up and I didn’t even know Elora had left my side as I saw my amazing uncles from Moon Stone Pack and of course,

    Princess Katie Anne~~“You are a special girl…” Everyone tells me that. But it was exactly two years ago when I found out that everyone had been lying to me.In fact, I was just Katie Anne, the wolfLess Princess of the Werewolf Realm, not to forget the fact that I was the daughter of two powerful wolves, Alpha King Raiden and Luna Queen Aurelia Seer King. Being the daughter of the woman everyone thought was the last white wolf until she proved otherwise, found her people, and saved the realm from a witch and– argh! Being the first daughter of Aurelia Seer King was supposed to actually make me special but no. I was pathetic and an excuse for a daughter. Growing up, I used to think I would grow up to be a badass like my mom. I thought I would be able to fight, heal, fix, and bring peace to people’s hearts. I thought I would fill my mother’s shoes but I had come to realize that her shoes were too big for me. Perhaps Elora would one day fill our mother’s shoe–“C’mon Katie. You have

    AURELIA~~After a few minutes of racing toward my daughter, who didn’t have to tell me where she was because I made use of my senses to find her, something she would have hated if Dolf’s life wasn’t on the line, I found her and Dolf lying in the middle of the forest.I didn’t have to ask Katie to know that she had woken up earlier than our training tie to race with Dolf.“Mom…” Katie cried out, violently moving her long black hair out of her face as she bent over Dolf’s body.The wolf’s eyes were still open but his heart rate was slow. I didn’t have to touch him to feel how weak he was. He shouldn’t have been racing with Katie.“What happened?” I asked both Katie and Dolf.Katie and Dolf have an unexplainable connection. My daughter was the only one who could talk to Katie through her mind despite showing little to no spiritual energy even after her sixteenth birthday.Katie and Dolf could speak through a mind link that no one else could access. I discovered this by accident when sh

    AURELIA~~I couldn’t find her anywhere in the house. That was strange. Usually, she wakes me up and forces me into training with her but today was different and for many years now, I have been dreading change. The tiniest change spooked me because I knew the peace we have been enjoying for over a decade in the realm could be tainted by the smallest change.With ease, I glided down the stairway that I become familiar with. Raising five kids within these walls and living within it for almost eleven years simply means, I know every nook and cranny of it.But leave it to Katie to make me feel like a newbie in my own home.Thankfully, I ran into Kyle when I stepped into the living room. I sighed as I opened my arms to accommodate his much bigger, taller, and muscular frame. Ten years of growth did that to my baby. He was now a fully grown man– huh, not entirely. He was still just seventeen years old but he was taller than me and his muscles were bigger than mine even though he reluct

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~The birth of Andrew’s child made me a godfather. I was elated and together, we threw another big party. I remember the sad days were I could only think of finding Aurelia or getting her and the kids back. Days were I couldn’t celebrate. But now, I could do that without hesitation.“What’s her name?” Kyle asked after Susanna and Andrew brought their daughter to their home and my family and I visited them. Susanna and Andrew exchanged looks and they announced simultaneously, “Camila.” I was sitting beside Aurelia, whose tummy was getting bigger by the day and I could tell she was about to gush over the cute name Andrew and Susanna chose for their baby while we have been unable to agree on names for ours.But before Aurelia could speak, Kyle stunned us all by saying, “Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.”If it had been Katie who said those words, we wouldn’t have been surprised as our daughter was a social butterfly but Kyle who would rather keep his thoughts
