AURELIA~~“How much longer do I have to lie to her? She has lost trust in me, Hazel.” I compalined to my bestfriend. It’s been three days of unending search yet Kyle hasn’t been found. From what I heard, Tristan and the others had arrived in Black Fur territory earlier today, and hearing that filled me up with a bittersweet emotion. I was happy and relieved to know Tristan was home safe but it broke me each time I think about how my kids and I should have been with him.Although I hadn’t seen much of Raiden in the past three days, I still hated being here. Katie was beginning to hate me for keeping her from Kyle just like I kept her from Raiden all her life. Although she hasn’t voiced her hatred, I could see it in her eyes, and goddess did it make me feel awful. “Have you considered telling her the truth? Katie is a bright child.” Hazel took her time before she let out those words. We were both in the living room. The apartment has become too big for just us but even the space
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I saw Aurelia walking out of the apartment for the first time in days that night and I followed her, careful not to spook her as she mindlessly navigated the forest. I’ve made it my duty to stand guard of the building for the past few days even though I had men stationed around the building. If Kyle was kidnapped under my nose and Katie bullied to near death, it was only right to strengthen the security around the building. I have also begun to look into the kids that almost killed my daughter. I’d use them as examples to others when I get to punish them. The search for Kyle had taken over my time but finding the bullies was also important. I need to make my pack a better and safer place for anyone to reside. After watching Aurelia sit by the still water, moving her hands around and eventually burst into tears, I apparached her. “You have a thing for crying in the middle of the forest at an ungodly hour, Aurelia,” I announced my presence. Aurelia’s eyes were swol
AURELIA~~Anxious blue eyes stared back at me, curiosity and anxiety deeply etched within them. Katie shifted her gaze from my face to Raiden’s. We were sitting in the living room in uncomfortable silence.Raiden’s presence was unusual and I wouldn’t have allowed it if I didn't need his help as I revealed to him last night. “I’ll do anything for you, Aurelia. Just name it.” Raiden had answered, clearly convinced that he had the full capability to help me. Tell me why he looked extremely nervous and uncomfortable now that he was sitting in the presence of Katie. It’s been over five minutes of silence and Katie was beginning to assume the worse. I could sense that from the way her heart was throbbing loudly. Since Raiden seemed incapacitated, I decided to start the process myself. “We have something to tell you, baby,” I announced, twisting my body on the sofa so I could stare directly at my daughter who was sitting on the other end of the dark brown sofa.Katie’s breath hitched, h
ALPHA RAIDEN~~She has got to be kidding me!“Are you bipolar?” I blurted before I could stop myself from offending her even more. I did her a favor. Telling Katie that Kyle was kidnapped was clearly a bad idea and it would have caused more issues for her to worry about but rather than thank me, she lashed out at me. In fact, she’s kicking me out.Aurelia’s eyes widened and Lex chimed in my head, “Wrong move, Man.”“What did you say to me?” Aurelia asked. Her stance and scent made it known that she was more than ready to rip my head off. “I asked if you have ever been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Aurelia.” Rather than take back my words as my wolf advised, I kinda made more emphasis. Aurelia’s eyes narrowed as she stood akimbo, glaring at me, “You’re the crazy and mentally unfit one, Raiden. I should have known better than to ask you to help. When have you ever done anything right?”Her words stung. I lost control and barked, “Yes, I fucked up. I messed up our lives but I wo
LARISA’S POV~~“Why won’t he stop coughing!” I groaned. Completely frustrated. The little boy has been more of a pain in my ass than I thought he would. Fucj that! I thought he was the safer twin to kidnap because he was gentle and sweet unlike his sister but I’ve come to realize that it would have been better to take the girl instead. After all, I could easily knock her out with drugs and seal her mouth with a tape just to keep her from talking my ears off. The little boy has reminded me why it is safer for me not to have kids even though I still desire to carry Raiden kids in the future.I was nice enough to give him freshly made meals from my parents' mansion yet he refused to eat. I bought him snacks, but he didn’t take them and each time he wakes up from the drug-induced sleep, he wails about his mom and sister. Somehow, I managed to endure him until he started coughing last night. Before the cold started, I noticed his cries became less loud and frequent. I assumed he had
AURELIA~~Keeping my wolf’s breed a secret has been difficult. Sometimes, Inara experiences a dominating boost of her spiritual energy and if I fail to be on guard, she would force me to shift and do as she pleases. Although I usually find a secluded place to shift and let her roam around while no one is watching, I haven’t been able to do that in over a month. Precisely, I haven’t been able to let Inara out since I arrived in Dark Moon Pack. It was safer that way. But after a month of keeping her locked in, I could feel her energy crackling within. Inara was also doing her best to remain at ease because neither of us could risk getting discovered and Kyle was still missing. Six days. My son has been missing for six days.Yet I stood before the mirror in the bathroom, mixing a hair dye. Dying my hair was one of the many things I had to do to keep my wolf’s breed hidden. “To think you used to believe your natural white hair made you a freak.” Inara made fun of me, speaking to
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Aurelia had successfully plastered fear all over my heart. I didn’t know Kyle well enough. Yes. I have no bond with him. Quite alright. If anything was to happen to Kyle, I wouldn’t feel the pain but that wasn’t comforting. Katie would feel it and Aurelia would as well and that is the reason I have been even more restless since I found out about Kyle’s lung disease. I was scared. “This is crazy, Raiden.” Andrew blurted, throwing his hand in frustration. “I can’t believe the boy is within the pack and we still haven’t found him. Six days down the drain. Sox days of wasted efforts. We’ve searched everywhere, man. Every house has been turned upside down.” My Beta complained. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair looked like a brush hadn’t touched the strands in days. Andrew and I haven’t been seeing each other for the past three days. We mostly communicated through the mind but seeing him now, it was obvious that he had been searching for Kyle restlessly
LARISA’S POV ~~After tending to Aurelia’s abomination alone all night, I decided to visit Raiden without taking care of my appearance. I thought it would be good for my plans if he saw me looking haggard… I thought his heart would beat for me again if he realized that I was under a lot of stress because of his missing son…Which was true even though it wasn’t in the same sense. “... I’m putting you on the resting list though…” Those words were a testament to the fact that he still cared about me… that he still saw the good in me and that I was happy. I got carried away by the love I had always carried in my heart for him and I hugged him, kissing his neck even though his skin reeks.He clearly hasn’t showered today. Yet I loved him.“I have missed you, Raid. I’ve missed us.” I sighed, inhaling his musky scent as I held him, hoping that he would wrap his arms around me as well. But Raiden tried to push me away instead of holding me. “Larisa.” He called my full name despite kno
