AURELIA~~“Get up. It’s time.” Inara announced. “They are asleep. Let’s move before Raiden shows up.” I jolted from the bed, grasping reality as my eyes flew open, quickly adjusting to the dark state of the room. I heard Katie and Hazel snoring peacefully and I quietly got off the bed, hoping to get out of the room without disturbing their sleep. “How many hours do we have till dawn?” I asked my wolf through the bond we shared while I threw on my leather training suit before slipping out of the room and closing the door behind me. “Two hours,” Inara answered. I inhaled sharply, “Two hours? How did I sleep for so long? Fuck! Jessica must have woken up to prepare–” “Relax. Jessica is still asleep. I can’t sense her consciousness in the house and I helped you sleep longer because you need enough physical strength to bring Kyle back. We only have one chance and we can’t mess it up.” Inara explained, urging me to stay calm. “You induced my sleep?” I queried in shock.“I did what I
LARISA’S POV (6)~~That sneaky bitch! Did she just yell out my name? Of course, I knew she suspected me but how could she come out here and yell out her suspicions when her son’s life was in my hands? Crazy bitch!My already frustrated aide muttered to me, “Did you reveal your identity in the note you adamantly sent to her?”He looked at me as if he was contemplating whether to rip my head off or abandon me in this dire time. “I wasn't named Stupid, for goddess's sake!” I exclaimed. “It's either she knows or she doesn't. Whatever it might be, I don't care. It doesn't make any difference.” Aurelia already made a mistake by showing up here. It shows that she cared about her bastard son but I didn't care about them. This morning, before daybreak, Aurelia and her son will be killed. I'll deal with the daughter later and there would be no one left to confuse Raiden. Love me or hate me, I'll be the one beside him when they are all gone. “This is crazy, Larisa. Very crazy and this pla
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Following Larisa was the best decision I have made in my entire life… well aside from getting justice for my daughter. I got to discover the truth about her even though I still couldn’t explain some things like how she walked out of the air. One minute I couldn’t see her and the next, she walked out with Kyle staggering and struggling weakly behind her. “What the actual fuck!” Lex gasped, shocked. Despite his suspicions, my wolf was still shocked to see Larisa drop her mask, revealing her real face as she stepped closer to Aurelia whose pain flooded my system. It took a while to get here. Larisa walked around in circles for a while before she disappeared. I didn’t know where she had entered but I could still sense her presence in the vicinity which was why I decided to hide and wait for her reappearance. I had thought to myself, “Where could she have gone? It’s an open forest. There is no building in this area.”It took seeing Aurelia after many minutes of waiti
AURELIA~~No. No. No.Jessica shouldn’t have revealed herself so that she could poke the bear. I could have handled Larisa and distracted her long enough for Jessica to arrive with help. She should have gone in search of help. Heck! We needed help. Larisa had a gun… not just any gun. A gun with silver bullets and one of those bullets could end Jessica’s life and mine… and Kyle's. Still, Jessica wore her pride like a second skin... like I hadn't been shot by Larisa's men who I failed to perceive until I crashed on my knees.This was one of the countless times I wished I could access Jessica’s mind like a pack member but spending almost six years in Black Fur Pack wasn't enough to make me an official member—“You've got guts,” Larisa mumbled, disbelief loud in her voice.Rather than keep her mouth shut, Jessica snorted, her footsteps sounding closer by the second, “What can I say?” She paused just as she stopped beside me, holding Larisa’s gaze without flinching, “I'm not a spineles
LARISA’S POV ~~ I pulled the trigger. Twice. While Aurelia screamed, “Jessica”, I cried out, “Raiden” as he held on to his side, his eyes wide open. Prior to the second shot, I was fuming with anger because I let myself get tricked by the female Aurelia called Jessica. I had seen her a few times but I never cared about her existence until she walked up to me like she had a death wish. Jessica got me with her words. There was no denying that but nothing got me perplexed like seeing Raiden race toward me as I pulled the trigger for the second time, intending to put Aurelia out like I did with her friend whose body had hit the floor like a fallen tree. “H-how did you get here?” I cried out feeling a sense of grief as I watched Raiden fall to his knees. My eyes fell to his side. I could see his blood leaking out of him even though he was trying to add pressure to the wound. My head began to ache at the sight just as my chest constricted. I shot Raiden. I released a silver bul
ALPHA RAIDEN~~My side hurt like a bitch!But that wasn’t what hurt the most. My brain, mind, and perhaps a huge part of my heart hurt as Larisa’s words sank into me faster than the bullet could have. I was groaning in pain and close to losing my life but I knew Larisa’s words would stop my heart before the silver bullet.I was an idiot. I clearly chose to trust and protect the wrong person. I was blinded. Heck, I was foolish. Even my mom– my parents knew something wasn’t right and they tried to protect me but I only hated them for their genuine efforts. Now I was alone. My warriors, who I had ordered to march over many minutes before I had to stop Larisa from killing Aurelia, were still not here for some unknown reason. The truth was glaring– I was a useless son, man, Alpha, mate, and father. I have failed in all aspects of my life and fallen for the tricks of the dark people that my father spent many years fighting. Fuck! I took us right back to the beginning. As I lay on t
AURELIA~~“Let her be!” I shouted despite the commotion around me. “Leave her to me.” I recognized them as Raiden’s men but how could I ever leave Jessica to them? “We’ve to take her so you can focus on getting the boy to the healers. There’s no hope for her but your son is still breathing and you need to get treated–” One of Raiden’s men voiced with a bit of frustration and concern.“How many times do I have to tell you that I can fix her? I can fix all of these so just leave us alone.” I barked with tears streaming down my face and I held on to the hope that despite the time that had passed, Inara and I could find a way to make Jessica’s heart start beating again.Yes, there was a fucking hole in the middle of her head and blood was leaking out of her in a way that made my heart constrict. Kyle was unconscious and my back still ached from where the arrows were of course still poking out. No one would rip them out. “Alpha! Alpha!” I heard someone screaming from behind me and th
AURELIA~~The last two days in Dark Moon pack have been chaotic. The situation in the pack is what can be described as unpeaceful due to many factors. The most important factor is Raiden’s unavailability.Yes, Raiden was still unconscious.I didn’t expect Raiden to stay unconscious for two days. It was expected on Kyle’s part because my son was malnourished and had been deprived of good sleep but since Inara healed Raiden and helped get rid of the silver in his body, I thought he would be awake by now. “I might have left some of the toxic in his body to teach him a lesson,” Inara muttered into my mind, causing my eyes to snap to Raiden who I had never seen in such a peaceful state, not even during our marriage years. “You’re kidding, right?” I queried. “Yes, Relia. I’m not a toxic wolf and since I know you are dying to leave Dark Moon Pack as soon as Kyle is fit to travel and Raiden is up, I wouldn’t do anything to disrupt your plans.” Inara retorted and I sighed. It was good t
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
AURELIA~~Five months ago, I told my mate about the existence of our growing pups. Five months ago also marked the beginning of a celebration that would only end after our growing pups were born. Raiden had announced this to the entire pack after he finally left my side two days after I told him about the pregnancy. Within these five months, I had discovered that my mate could be even more clingy, more affectionate, and more… more everything that showed that he had grown to become the mate I needed and most importantly, the father our kids deserved. Also within these five months, several meetings have been held within our pack. The Alphas of every pack in the realm have visited many times to discuss the proposal that states to have Raiden and me as the King and Queen of every wolf in the realm. Seth, who was navigating the water with Phoebe, suggested this and surprisingly, everyone was okay with it and a week ago, a date was chosen for the official coronation that would install
Hi, dearest readers.I should probably begin this note by apologizing for my inconsistency this month. I'm certain some of you already hate me. Please don't. I have been busy and panicking about writing as well. Regardless, I'm sorry and I promise to complete this story within the next week. Yes, Aurelia's and Raiden's story has a few chapters left and I'm so excited for the ending. Alos I want to use this medium to thank you all for your support and love. I started writing this book ending of June 2024 and I must say, it's been a journey. A sweet one but also one that makes me worry as I plot and try to figure out what comes next in the story. However, your contributions, comments, votes, and kind words have helped me to the end. Thank you so much. I will always thank the heavens for you and this book. To be honest, I didn't expect my first book to perform this well. I was so scared when I started and I would be lying if I said I am no longer scared.But worrying is part of life, I
