ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

Frustration had mixed with my blood and became a part of me. I sleep frustrated and wake up to more frustration… that’s even if I get any sleep. These days, she has been haunting me in my sleep.

“She isn’t haunting you, Raiden. Your past actions are. You brought this on yourself.” Lex defended Aurelia and called out my bluff.

He was right. Each time I close my eyes, I see the wrongs I melted out to Aurelia. I see her cooking for me without receiving appreciation, I see myself seeking pleasure from her body and through our bond while denying her pleasure. I see myself punishing her when all she did wrong was love me and the memories of our past have done more harm than good to me ever since she told me to stay away from her…

And it’s only been five days. Five days of torture from my dreams and Larisa who has been on my neck for intimacy– something we haven’t had since I started searching for Aurelia.

“You survived not having sex because of the broken bond you still

I believe Tristan already knows who Lia is. I believe he knew the night he allowed his guard to save her since Raiden made it known to many packs that his Luna was missing. Especially since he originally told his guard to kill the intruder even though she was pregnant. He hated Raiden already.

Seems like Raiden has decided to be a better man, and Tristan hasn’t decided yet. Seems like she is at risk with both of them being pretty selfish and using her. Tristan as a chess piece and Raiden as a sex toy. I think this is something for the wolves to manage. They’d be better off.

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~I was wowed beyond words when I stepped into my home. The whole place has been decorated for a feast I had no idea about. Larisa smiled at me, pulling me into the living room where her dad, Nolan, stood with his mate, Helen. Andrew was also there and so was Jake, my best male warrior, who was also my gamma. “What’s the occasion?” I asked Larisa through the mind link as she pulled me closer to her parents who I hadn’t seen in years. I stayed away from her parents because I didn’t want them to pressure me into marrying Larisa or remind me of my parents, who had decided to abandon me and the pack since they heard that I divorced Aurelia. I see Andrew and Jake every now and then but seeing them in my living room with Larisa’s parents seemed unusual. “Relax. I just wanted to surprise you with a nice dinner with family and friends. It’s been a rough month if you ask me.” Larisa’s words bounced off the walls of my mind as she responded. Helen’s face popped bright when

    AURELIA ~~ I left the room I shared with my kids and Hazel because I was overwhelmed by raw emotions that threatened to tear me open even though my kids were sleeping peacefully in between Hazel and me. I came deep into the forest because I needed to be alone not so I could run into a jackass who had grown nosy with the years. “Stay back!” I repeated those words when Raiden took another step closer to me. I’d have taken a thousand steps away from him if there wasn’t a body of water behind me. He was closing in on me and had me cornered. I wiped my face angrily, refusing to appear weak before someone like him. “Stay the hell back, Raiden. I’m warning you.” I barked at him, tears threatening to spill out of my swollen eyes once again. “How do you expect me to stay back when you have obviously been crying, Aurelia?” Raiden asked like he actually had a heart. “What’s wrong?” I chuckled, unable to believe his audacity. He must think I was still dumb. “The same way you stayed

    AURELIA~~I was this close to forgetting how to breathe when I stared into the silver-gray eyes that I used to love… those eyes that used to make me come undone, shattering underneath him while he overpowered my fragile body like–“Focus, Relia.” Inara snapped at me, bringing me back to my senses.“What the hell was that?” I asked my wolf, breaking eye contact with Raiden.There was something. Something seized me and took control of my mind for a moment. There has to be an explanation because I didn’t want to believe I was just admiring the same man who made me understand the real meaning of emotional torture… I didn’t just feel an intense sense of sexual hunger for him. “Please tell me there was something, Ina.” I pleaded with my wolf, staggering away from Raiden.Inara replied, “He carries a bond you broke, Relia, and what you feel now is the effect of getting close to the mate bond. You broke it but your body is designed to want it.”Fuck. I’ve to stay away from him. He had me

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel my jaw shift out of place as Aurelia’s unbelievably strong fist connected with it. I could feel the ache but it wasn’t something I had never felt before. The pain wasn’t new to me. What was new to me was getting punched in the face by a woman.And not just any woman. It was Aurelia. The same woman who couldn’t look me in the eyes back then just hit me in the face without flinching and she looked like she was ready to do it again. I was too stunned to speak while Aurelia stared at me with nothing but hate and anger in her orbs. If I had been blind, I’d have been able to smell her scorching anger from miles away. Goddess! How do I go about this? What words would sound right to her? I knew how I felt and In my mind, I knew the right words but each time I opened my mouth to speak to her, I ended up saying the wrong words. Heck! She unraveled me. “Don’t mess this up, Raiden. Please. I need her back.” Lex pleaded with me. Even my wo

    ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~“You left and rejected me, Aurelia. How could–”Raiden’s words echoed in my mind as I strolled back to the apartment he made available for reasons I didn’t know back then. I’d asked myself why he was acting nice and suspicious but it wasn’t until now that I got my answers. I heard every word, starting with Raiden’s claim… starting with how he called her Aurelia instead of Lia as she told me that day in my special hospital room where she delivered her babies… Raiden’s babies, I supposed. I might not have heard every word because I just happened to stumble into the duo but I heard enough to justify the roaring flame of anger underneath my skin. I heard enough to make me understand that I’d been a fool for almost six years.She lied to me. She deceived me. She played me for a fool. Despite the grace I showed her and her kids? Hell! I provided her with a place to stay, a home, a pack, a family, and a new life because I thought she was from a dead place. That dea

    AURELIA~~A yelp escaped my mouth when a cold hand wrapped itself around my leg, yanking me off the bed in one swift movement. I hit the cold floor of the room with a thud. I was genuinely terrified until I perceived and came face to face with Hazel’s amused face. “For goddess’s sake, Hazel. You just killed me.” I yelled not finding her stunt funny. However, Hazel laughed, “If I did, you wouldn’t be yelping, girl.” My best friend shrugged, the sound of her laughter echoing in the bedroom while I rolled my eyes and pushed myself off the floor. Hazel threw herself on the bed and supported her head with her hand so she could look at me as I struggled to get back in bed. “You look like shit, Lia.” She pointed out, her tone neutral but her hazel eyes flickered with the genuine concern that I knew her heart carried. I rolled my eyes again, settling into bed with Hazel. “Tell me something I don’t already know.” I tried to sound unaffected but deep down, I was barely holding back tear

    AURELIA~~My daughter wailed out loud, failing to hide her feelings like she would have done on any other day. Seeing Katie like that broke me even more. My heart tightened as I forgot how to breathe and soon enough, Kyle broke into tears as well. “Shush, babies. Shush.” I said amidst tears. I crouched to the level, pulling Kyle and a muddy Katie into my arms. “Enough of the tears, babies.” Kyle spoke up, his voice shaky and muffled, “Yo-you and Katie s-st-tarted it.” Katie countered, pulling away from my hug and wiping her muddy face, “Mom s-started it. I came in and s-saw her c-crying in Auntie Hazel’s a-arms.” My heart tightened even more as I watched them both argue about me instead of telling me what the hell happened to Katie. Her lower lip was busted for crying out loud. I cried bitterly, realizing how bad of a mother I’ve been these past few days. What has gotten into me!Hazel came to my rescue when she asked, sniffing back her own share of tears, “What happened to yo

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~My efforts to keep Aurelia in my pack were proving to be futile. Despite shifting the final rounds of the games so I could have more days with her and also figure out how to make sure she never returned to the Black Fur pack with Tristan, I have failed. In three days, the final round of this year’s pack games will come to an end and the next day, Tristan will take Aurelia away forever. Fuck! “You’re giving up? So soon?” Lex snorted within me. I retorted sharply, “What else would you have me do? It's not like I can tie her down when it's time for her to leave.” “I don’t expect that but you could at least try to find out who tried to kill her after she escaped the pack. You know she isn’t lying and finding the culprit might help to lessen the hatred she bore for you.” Lex said, forgetting that I had just three days left. There was no way I could trace down the assassins from six years ago in three days. Especially not when I had to oversee my warriors and other re

    DAVIEN~~“That can’t be,” Katie whispered as she staggered into the bedroom, her face pale and hands trembling.I picked up the bag Jade had dropped, followed Katie into our bedroom, and locked the door behind me.“She really is dead?” She asked me, horror etched into her stormy blue eyes.I nodded, shocked that Katie didn’t know that Aunt Jessica had died thirteen years ago. My mate collapsed on the bed, and I knelt before her, holding her hand and telling her to breathe.“To protect Katie and Kyle, Aurelia hid the news of Jessica’s death from them. I also don’t know the full story, but I am at fault because of the part I played. Larisa might have pulled the trigger that killed Jessica, but I put her in the position to get killed for my selfish desires,” Dolf said to me, taking on the blame even though we all knew he had nothing to do with everything that went down thirteen years ago.“You mean it’s all Tristan’s fault.

    Princess Katie Anne~~Davien and I woke up late in the afternoon. While Davien had more than enough reason to sleep for as long as we did, I didn’t have any because—“You have more than enough reasons, too, Katie. Have you forgotten what Davien did to you before you both slept?” Zoe asked before shoving explicit images of Davien fucking me into my mind as if I didn’t live that memory a few hours ago.I turned red and threw the covers over my face while Davien went to answer the door. Fortunately for whoever was at the door, Davien and I woke up before he or she could disrupt the peace we worked hard to achieve.I wouldn’t have forgiven the person at the door if they had woken Davien, regardless of the reason.“Hey, Jade. Why are you here?” The familiarity and affection in Davien’s voice didn’t go unnoticed.Zuri chimed through the mind link, “I thought he said he didn’t have a friend here? Who is Jade, and why does he smell as happy as he sounds?”Call me jealous, but I was out of

    Princess Katie Anne~~My mate was struggling. I could sense that fact all through the night, but I had to pretend like I didn’t because I didn’t know how to help him. The second I opened my eyes this morning and saw his face, I knew he didn’t get enough sleep or maybe didn’t get to sleep at all.It was at that point that I knew I had to find a way to help him escape the demons that haunted him in his sleep. It’s only been a night in Black Fur, and he already looked like shit. I couldn’t let his family think for a minute that they were getting to him.“What if I take the memories away?” I blurted before I could stop myself.Damien, who had just rolled out of bed, stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me with his brows raised. “Huh?”“I don’t really know how, but I know Grandma Iris performed a trick that erased Kyle’s memories after he was rescued from Larisa. I can call her, ask her how to do it, and do the same for you so you can have peace, Davien.”I tried to explain to my ma

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   82: Favorite Son

    DAVIEN~~Of course, the right-hand side of the father. Of our father.Since we were young but old enough to understand power and the amount that came with being the pack's next Alpha, Damien had made himself our dad’s right hand, and our dad made it easier for him to do that since he was the favorite child.Usually, I would have chosen to sit at the foot of the table or eat alone, but since my dad was invited to dinner and asked to sit right here by my dad, I should have known Damien would have a problem with that.“He is so full of himself,” Dolf grumbled within me, almost showing himself and just how powerful he was, even though we had both agreed to keep him a secret for as long as possible.My family still didn’t know I had a wolf, and when they found out, I knew it would change everything. My brother would most likely see me as a threat for the first time since we were born.“Wait till they find out I am your wolf,” Dolf chuckled as Katie’s response to Damien echoed through th

    Princess Katie Anne~~Speaking to my family over the phone was new. I had never had to communicate with them through any form of technology, but since I was far from them and wouldn’t be able to use the mindlink, I had to settle for my cellphone, which I hardly used before now.“I have to go now, Dad. It’s dinnertime here, and it would be rude to keep the leaders of this pack waiting for me,” I said to my dad, who had refused to end the call.He wasn’t the only one who took ages before passing the phone to someone else. Every one of my siblings, except Kyle, who wasn’t with the family currently, wouldn’t let the phone go, and they also wouldn’t put it on speaker so I could talk to everyone simultaneously.My mom, being her sacrificial and understanding self, let the phone go after she made sure I was fine, but of course, my dad had to say, “I am sure they can wait. You are the princess, and you are talking to your dad. You know? The King?”“That’s just being cocky, Dad.” I laughed

    DAVIEN~~My Ferocious CatGoddess! I was so right when I referred to my mate as that. She was everything a ferocious cat should be—meek, calculative, elegant, beautiful, and deadly. She could be a domesticated cat, but one should never mistake that for weakness, because she was naturally a wild one, even in bed.Yeah, seeing and hearing her insult Damien had my balls tightening. I could see the bear in me surfacing, ready to rip Katie’s clothes to shreds as soon as we got to our room—“This is your room, Princess Katie,” my mom announced, and I knew better than to ignore the fact that she called it Katie’s room and not OUR room. My mom confirmed that her choice of words wasn’t a mistake when she added, “You can stay in your old room after you help the princess settle in, Dave.”Katie was quick to say, “We will be staying in the same room, Luna Cynthia.”My mom smiled sheepishly and muttered, “There are many rooms in the mansion, Princess. You can have all the privacy you need, and D

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Next Luna?” A high-pitched, contentious voice struck my eardrums despite the cheers of the pack members, and just like that, my first opposition, who couldn’t hide her hate, stepped forward, standing confidently with her head high in the air.She stated, her amber eyes piercing my skull before they shifted between Alpha Jarrett and Luna Cynthia, “I believe that title is mine. It’s my birthright and—”“Now is not the time, Amber,” Alpha Jarrett scolded her, but that didn’t kill the flame in Amber’s eyes.Clearly, she didn’t respect him, and while I kept staring at her to see if I would recognize her from when I was younger, Zoe chimed into my mind, “Amber eyes, and she was named Amber. Her parents didn’t even try.”I didn’t get the joke, but somehow Zuri did, and she chuckled with Zoe, both of them effortlessly mocking Amber.“When will the time be, Alpha? The pack is gathered, and you just announced that a brat who left the pack many years ago, only to return

    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
