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
AURELIA~~Alpha Tristan and I spoke at length. He assured me that Kyle would be alright even though he was far from us and he explained how I could use my gift to track Kyle after I promised him I would be careful and not get discovered.“Call me when you find a place to perform the process. I’ll be with you.” Alpha Tristan had said those words to me before ending the call because he had something to do. I noticed how versed Alpha Tristan was when it came to my abilities and during the call, I asked him how he knew so much about me when I knew little to nothing about myself. His answer still had me blushing even though the call had ended hours ago, “I had to study you, Lia because you stole my heart.” Tristan also told me that he acquired some books that explained the biology of a White Werewolf and he promised to give them to me when I return to the pack with the twins. I looked forward to that moment and even though I was hesitant to call him at first, I felt at ease after spe
AURELIA~~Katie called the terrified kids out and I watched them move forward like spineless chicks. Two boys and a lanky girl. They appeared to be about ten years old each and from the striking resemblance between them and the two useless men I sighted earlier, I could connect the dots. The kids that bullied my kid were Matoe and Leo’s kids. They were just as rotten as their fathers. Of course, the kids weren’t trained properly which was why they chose to bully a girl who was five years younger than them. Shameful! “Are you sure they were the ones that dragged you to the forest and left you thereafter injuring you, Katie?” Raiden asked Katie not because he doubted her but because he was trying to enlighten the pack members that had gathered to witness the punishment the bad kids would receive. Katie nodded, “Yes, Daddy. Thank you for finding them for me.” My daughter was really happy and neither she nor Raiden seemed to care when the crowd gasped in response to Katie calling
