Raiden is Back! Haha and yes, the kids have to cockblock their daddy. Thank you for reading. Love always, Kiki.
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
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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~“I just want to stay in bed with my wife. Is that too much to ask?” I groaned into Aurelia’s hair. She squirmed in my arms as she retorted, “We have been in bed for the past ten days, Raiden. I believe that enough–” “I can never get enough of you, Relia. I always want more.” I cut her off, inhaling the scent of her hair as I pulled her against my chest, grinding my erection into her soft cheeks. She chuckled, enjoying this moment just as much as I was but of course, she etched, “We have plans for today, Raiden. We really should get to it.” She just had to remind me of Larisa and Jake. The plan was to have the pack gather at the pack’s square and publicly punish Larisa and Jake but after many days of deliberating, I just didn’t come up with the right punishment for those two. I didn’t want them dead because killing them would be too easy but I also didn’t want to keep them locked up to avoid any form of surprises that would disrupt the peace Aurelia had worked so
AURELIA~~The hate in Raiden’s eyes when he uttered the two words that caught everyone's attention would have been alarming if I didn’t recall that Larisa let his father die without honor in a cell and let him rot until he was nothing but dry bones. Perhaps I would have been terrified if I didn’t recall how broken Raien was when he found out that his parents who he had been mad at had been suffering within his pack all this while. “Then die.” Two simple but powerful words that shocked Helen whose cries were becoming annoying. Yes, no mother should have to suffer by watching their child die or get killed. Yet, his daughter didn’t understand that when she put a deadly gun to my son’s head and was ready to pull the trigger… which she did and took Jessica’s life right before my eyes. Yet, Larisa didn’t think twice before she tried to capture my kids and me. We could have died in that accident. Hell! The world assumed we were dead and If she had successfully captured us, she would
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I didn’t understand Aurelia until I saw Larisa stop dead in her tracks. Her back was to me but as soon as she stopped running, she turned around like she was under some kind of force she couldn’t shake off.Aurelia stood still, not even raising her hands. But Larisa’s hand went over her chest and it drew on me that truly, Aurelia had this figured out. “Do you remember doing this to my mate? Crushing his heart with your dark power.” Aurelia voiced calmly. Larisa inhaled sharply, her eyes turning red by the second. She couldn’t speak but if she could, she would most likely be begging. At least, Aurelia was giving her the chance to beg. She didn’t give me that when she wrapped her energy around me and crushed my heart. “She’s not giving her the chance to beg. She’s torturing her. You of all people should know how devastating it feels to have death looming over you.” Lex explained Aurelia’s intention. I smiled, knowing that this was her way of avenging me, Kyle, and
ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~They were happy. I hated that. The news of their happiness was spreading far and wide and goddess did I hate that as well. Because I wasn’t happy and the news of the ridiculous person I had become had spread beyond the walls of my room, beyond my borders, and my control. Although I was alive and glad that Larisa wasn’t, I was dead. It was as if I died with my child. It was as if, I died the very die Larisa drained me and locked me up. It was as if Louis, despite everything he had done, had played a big part in killing me even though he claimed that wasn’t his intention. It was as if Aurelia also helped to kill me even though she is the reason I’m breathing. I mean, what’s the point of living when I can’t even see her? Talk to her? Or mend my relationship with her?What’s the point? Yet, they were happy– Aurelia and Raiden and I hated that.I was a damaged good. My wolf hates me, my pack members hate me, and Aurelia– well, even I hate myself at the moment
ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV ~~It took less than an hour for the entire pack to gather on the training field, where I had trained many of them and made them the badass warriors they were known for until recently. Louis was standing before me, shirtless but wearing black shorts similar to the blue one I had on.I was quite confident that I would win this battle because even though Louis was stronger than me at the moment, he was still a Beta wolf, and I was a born Alpha. Most importantly, Dolf wouldn’t sit back and let me die because my death would mean his death as well. As these thoughts flashed through my mind, I watched Louis intensely, seeing emotions brimming in his eyes despite the distance between us.He was clearly reconsidering this even though the entire pack seemed to be behind him– I hated that and planned to make them pay for this betrayal as I have been nothing short of a good Alpha to this Pack.I brought this Pack to its peak after my parents were killed by the same Pack t
AURELIA~~“Pay attention to your stance,” I instructed affectionately, readjusting the wooden sword I was holding as I circled my opponent, looking out for mistakes.“The sword is heavy, Mom. It’s knocking me off balance.” My opponent, aka my daughter, complained even though I could still see her excited face when Raiden gave her her sword after many months of waiting for it. I snorted, “You can’t be a warrior if you can’t be one with your weapon, Trainee Katie. You aren’t holding a sword. Your hand is just longer and the longer it is, the better for you as you would have done enough damage before your opponent can get close to you–”“But the sword is short, Mom. My hands are short. I’m still a kid.” My daughter argued.I groaned, “I have told you not to call me mom when we are training, Katie. I’m your trainer or do you wnat to go back to training with Tara?” Why was I doing this when she couldn’t even understand a simple explanation? I wasn’t talking about her hand or the swor
Princess Katie Anne~~ If anyone was looking at me, he or she wouldn’t hesitate to claim that I had been sitting in silence for many hours. I was beside a man who turned his family away just so he could stay with me.However, I was sitting in everything but silence. Inside, I was anything but silent.The thoughts and voices of two distinct yet similar wolves raced through my mind like whirlwinds. The discussion might not be happening between Davien and me, but it was definitely going on between Zuri and Zoe.It all started when Zuri said to Zoe, sarcasm dripping into my mind as her cool voice bounced off the walls of my thoughts, “You still think he is a wimp? Did you see how he stood up to defend us? I’m beginning to question your decision-making ability.”“Um, you mean I’m dumb?” Zoe asked with disbelief. “And you, who didn’t question a bond, are the smart one?”“Not to brag, but I do believe I should be the decision-maker between us both. You are hotheaded and—”“Don’t even fin
Alpha Prince Kyle In that instance, time froze, and my body did too, not just because my mate growled into my mind with conviction, “Mate,” but mostly because the conviction Rio had initially turned into confusion as we both stared at the person whose scent invaded my nostrils like never before.“T-that’s impossible.” I stuttered and staggered backward, unable to believe what was happening. “She can’t be my mate. She can’t be our mate, Rio.”I shook my head, pleading with the moon goddess to rescue me from whatever this was.I thought I was ready to find my mate. Well, until this minute. Until my mate turned out to be her—the least expected person.“She’s the only one in the library, Kyle. It’s her, and you know it.” Rio said to me, sounding just as confused as I was, even though we both knew life was about to get difficult.Did I say things happen easily for me? Well, not anymore.The familiar sweet vanilla scent mixed with the welcoming scent of books filled my nostrils again. H
Alpha Prince Kyle’~~I was no spiritual guru, and when I say that, I also mean that I wasn't really into the spiritual stuff that most of my family members enjoy. In fact, all but Katie and my Dad and perhaps Ronald. Also, I wasn’t so into the physical stuff like Katie and my Dad, and again, maybe Ronald—the little man is still juggling between both worlds and trying to find his footing. It was safe to say that I was the weirdest one in my family, but I didn’t feel weird or odd. I fit in. But to me, Davien didn’t fit into his own family. Not a spiritual expert or an energy expert, but I could sense the bad energy and vibe among the four members of that family. “For one, his brother is an idiot. Ma should have let us rip his head off.” Rio hissed.Although I was more of a diplomatic person who loves peace, my wolf can get a whole lot crazy when he is pissed, and Goddess knew he was pissed earlier when the dumbass brother of Katie’s mate tried to say shit about her."Plus, his mo
DAVIEN~~“Do you want to become wolfless because I can make that happen with a flip of my fingers?” Damien turned white at the five-year-old prince’s threat, and I had to hold back my laughter while Prince Kyle growled at my twin brother.The only reason my parents shunned Damien was because they were still trying to hide the fact that I was wolfless from the royal family. Imagine that. Hiding something from this kind of family? Impossible!However, my parents didn’t know that yet, and I also didn’t want them to discover that I was no longer wolfless. My Dad fell on his knee before the royal family and cried out, “I apologize for my son's shortcomings. Please forgive them, your majesties.” “Your sons? I see just one with a lot of shortcomings, Jarrett, and I can’t forgive anyone who speaks down on me, even if the person is about to be family.” Alpha King Raiden seethed, controlling his rage like a pro. It was then that I realized that I was about to become part of the royal fam
DAVIEN~~I still couldn’t believe that I was sitting beside her.Not just because she was the princess, but because she was my mate. The Princess of the realm was my mate, and I was talking to her even though she seemed to be lost in thought at the moment. Should she even be thinking right now? I mean, she just fainted a few hours ago and her health was fragile–“Is that worry I hear in your thought?” Dolf asked rhetorically, causing me to sigh. “What are we going to do, Dolf?” I asked my wolf. The whole idea of having a wolf still seems unreal. “I can tell you, but you have to figure this out yourself,” Dolf responded, proving that he was indeed a wise wolf spirit. “I’m flattered, Davien but I must ask you—do you want this? Do you want Katie as your mate, me as your wolf, and this new life that has been shoved down your throat?”I scoffed audibly, and Princess Katie’s gaze shifted to me. Although she didn’t say anything, I could tell that she had a whole lot to say. Maybe not
Princess Katie Anne~~I was used to having men in my life fighting for me, but seeing the boy from Black Fur do the same against his brother brought about a different feeling that I wasn’t familiar with. His words echoed in my head: “You do not talk to my mate like that.”I could have sworn I had heard my dad say the exact words, but the effects were different because this time I was the mate and the man speaking those words was mine.“So you want him now.” Zuri chimed with amusement. I would have smiled if I didn’t see Davien’s twin brother rushing to land a hit on him. Energy surged within me, and I pushed myself off the bed, running to stand between Dvaien and his twin brother. Goddess was I fast. My speed had always been incredible despite not having a wolf, but the level I tapped into now was more than the word incredible could describe.I caught Damien’s fist in the air even though my mate had bent over to dodge the impact of his brother’s punch. Damien’s eyes widened, bu
DAVIEN~~“What the hell have you done now, Davien?”My dad bellowed, and as always, my body began to shake because I knew this was the beginning of another episode of insults and perhaps abuse. No, if he was going to hit me, he would have done that as soon as he stepped into this room. Plus, the fact that Princess Katie was sitting on the bed beside me wouldn’t let my dad act rashly. Also, my mom was unusually quiet; I wanted to believe she was like that because the royal family was standing outside. My brother would have said something if we weren’t in the palace of the famous rulers of our realm. He would have thrown it in my face that he was the perfect son and should have been born first, just like our parents had always said. Damien would have done that if we weren’t in Dark Moon Pack. I knew all of this, yet my body trembled out of habit, fear coursing through my body. “Answer the question, Davien.” My mom pushed for answers, her eyes falling on Princess Katie, who just h
Princess Katie Anne~~Davien held my gaze, staring at me with disbelief and perhaps confusion. That makes both of us, if I’m being honest. I couldn’t believe he was my mate and still didn’t understand how he could help me or why–Wait a minute. I think I do. I understand.If Davien was my mate, he would be able to share my pain with me, making it bearable, and with Dolf being his wolf, I would have a friend I could depend on. I wasn’t feeling any pain right now, so whatever Davien’s energy was doing to mine was good for me. “I have to see my family,” Davien uttered after staring at me in silence for the longest time.Before anyone could react to his statement, he rose from the lake and stepped out of it, wobbling as he put some space between us. Within a twinkle of an eye, I felt a pull between our bodies, one that was compelling me to go with him. Heck, it was as if it were commanding my body to stick to his body like some leech that couldn’t exist without him.“Of course, you ca
Princess Katie Anne~~I heard him. I heard the boy from black fur loud and clear as he said, "Mate...” But his voice wasn’t the one causing my chest to tighten and my body to shake. His voice wasn’t the one that filled my mind and took my pain away. His voice wasn't the one that made recognition zap through me and connect with my soul in a very familiar way. It wasn’t Davien’s voice. It was Dolf's, and I found myself repeating the same word even though it wasn’t the right response to the bond I could feel and that I already heard Davien mention, “Dolf.”“Same one, Katie.” Dolf’s unmistakable voice echoed through my mind again, and I heard him chuckle like he used to after he was separated from Tristan, the man who made me hate everyone from Black Fur even though the people have been amazing ever since Alpha Jarrett became their leader.I shook my head, “No. No. No. This isn’t possible. I think I’m going crazy, Mom. Please help me. This is crazy.” Of course, I had to cry to my m
