Two bullets were fired? Could Jessica be the second victim or the only one? Find out in the next chapter! Love, Kiki.
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
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I didn’t realize what the first set of words that escaped my dry lips meant or perhaps my mind chose to forget them as memories of how Larisa kidnapped my son, shot me, and confessed to every bad thing imaginable, flooded my mind, leaving no room for me to think about how I was saved from the grasp of death.“How long have I been here?” I didn’t hesitate to ask Aurelia as my mind registered the fact that I was in my pack’s hospital. Aurelia rubberneck at me, making me question myself for a second. “Say something, please.’ She blinked rapidly and stuttered, “T-two days. You were out for two days.”Considering the fact that I assumed I’d be dead, I was amazed that I recovered from a silver bullet within two days. How on earth is that possible?My wolf’s gruff voice echoed in my head, confirming that I was truly free from the silver, “She did something to us that day. I could feel it but I can’t explain it.”At that moment, I could only stare at Aurelia with suspicion g
AURELIA~~I lied to Raiden and I wasn’t sorry.I couldn’t bring myself to be sorry even though my heart ached to be with my son or at least see Katie for the first time in days. I felt sorry for my kids but my legs didn’t stop moving towards the same place Larisa clawed at my already fragile life. The same place Jess had her last breath.“Are you sure about this?” Even Inara asked me. My wolf knew I was determined to check every corner of the forest. I’ve to find Larisa and skin her alive, bit by fucking bit before anyone else finds her. “I’ve no doubts. Killing that bitch is important and I can’t put anyone else at risk.” I responded the second I arrived in the vicinity. I could feel the strange energy I felt that day radiating, however, I couldn’t see the source. I added, giving the control of my senses to my wolf, “I trust you to help me find her.” “I’ll help but I don’t think we’ll find her here. I can’t sense her.” Inara explained, sniffing the air through my nostrils. “Yo
AURELIA~~My curiosity hung in the air as I let my legs carry me towards the voice. With every step I took, my broken heart fell piece by piece. With every cell I looked into, I hurled, the foul smell irritating me. “How heartless is she really? She clearly had people locked in here.” Inara heaved without hiding her disgust. In spite of her words, my wolf’s curiosity coursed through me and it only intensified when the same soft whimper reached my ears again, “I can smell y-you. It’s really you…” Strangely, a tiny part of me seemed to recognize that voice. The feminine ring sounded familiar but I couldn’t place my finger on it. “Who’re you?” I questioned, taking cautious steps as the space became darker.As my voice echoed, sending waves back to my eardrums, there came no response from the oddly familiar voice but to my surprise, another voice, not a familiar one, cried out, “Please let me out. Please.” I inhaled sharply, ignoring the foul smell around me. Inara’s sense of smell
AURELIA~~“I came here to fetch you,” Andrew responded after he recovered from what I presumed was the smell and the sight of those behind me. “Alpha Raiden asked me to come after you after he realized that you were missing.” Fuck! Raiden knew I wasn’t with Katie. How did he find out?“How did you find me or this place?” I finally asked the question in my subconsciousness. Andrew’s eyes shifted from one dark corner of the basement to another, shock glinting in his eyes. “Raiden told me you’d be around here but I didn’t expect to see a hut or whatever this place is. I’ve never come across this structure. It was never here.” It was clear to me that Andrew was still trying to wrap his mind around the very existence of this place and he further confirmed it when he said, “What the hell is this place?”Iris’s weak voice broke out, beating me to respond, “A dark place Larisa created to keep innocent people… just to use them as leverage.” Andrew’s brows furrowed and he stepped closer,
DAVIEN~~Home.That was the most perfect word to use. Home was the only word that could truly describe how I felt when I pushed my length into Katie’s warm, inviting, wet hole.It took a lot of effort to get my length in because she had never been touched by anyone else before me. She was mine through and through, completely and entirely, and I was scared that I would hurt her or do something wrong since this was also my first time.But how could anything be wrong when you are home?Exactly. That was how I felt with Katie. I felt like everything I did mattered, and with her, I could never go wrong with our deep and genuine connection.“Oh, Davien,” Katie moaned softly into my shoulder, holding me close and raising her waist as if to take all of me in, every inch.I could feel the pain she was experiencing at that moment as I breached into her, but the overwhelming pleasure that zapped through our bond was so much greater than the pain, and it just consumed me entirely. Katie felt t
Princess Katie Anne~~I almost couldn’t believe that Davien had no experience.Yes, he was that good. With his tongue. His fingers. His lips. Hell! He was that good.And he paid attention to every reaction. Every movement that made me moan or got my back off the bed. He would do that same movement and focus on that same angle just to make me feel good, but he didn’t overdo it.He sucked when needed. Bite me tenderly when needed. Grabbed my breasts and fondled them through the soft material of my nightwear.“Oh, fuck!” I cried out, and my legs began to shake right after Davien pinched my taut, aching nipples as he bit my sensitive, throbbing clit simultaneously.“You like that, don’t you?” Davien breathed, his breath tickling my cunt before he ran his tongue over me like I was his favorite ice cream flavor.How was I supposed to respond when he did that, earning a loud moan from me?“Use your words, Cat.” Davien breathed once again, and as cringy as that pet name sounded, it worked f
DAVIEN~~The smell of her strong desire found me in the depths of my subconscious and woke me up effortlessly. It was a natural reaction of a male to his female's desire, but while I knew that, I didn’t expect Katie to say those words without blinking.“I want you between my legs, Mate.”Fuck!I had never understood the concept of desire. At least, not until now.I had seen Damien with many women and even heard him with them, but I had never thought of taking any woman to my bed. Not that they wanted me anyway. They always went for the better twin, and I wasn’t. Sadly.Also, while I had seen my fair share of pretty women, I had never felt drawn to them, even when I tried.However, with Katie, it came naturally.My member hardened within a twinkle of an eye, and my body burned to hold her closer. Katie's words kept echoing in my head, pouring gasoline on the indescribable desire that woke me up in the first place.I groaned in response, and Katie scooted closer, her hands on my face
Princess Katie Anne~~I had no reason to doubt my mate anymore. Huh, maybe I do, but I have chosen to trust him and see where what we have takes us. I have also forgiven Dolf for choosing to leave me because that's what I needed to heal and move forward with Davien.“Speaking about moving forward, Katie, I believe it’s time to complete the mate bond with Davien,” Zuri chimed into my mind while my eyes lingered on Davien’s peaceful face.He was sleeping soundly beside me even though I couldn’t, as I was worried that the path he had chosen would hurt him. Just yesterday, he had taken the first steps toward deceiving his dad, and now we were waiting for Alpha Jarrett to respond to Davien's text.In a few hours, the sun would take its place in the sky, and I hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep—“What Zuri is trying to say is that you should consider taking Davien’s pants off, grabbing his cock, and riding him—,” Zoe began, explicitly explaining what Zuri had said.If I was close to falling a
DAVIEN~~I would be lying if I said my heart didn’t skip a beat when I first heard these words: “We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”However, seeing the way Katie reacted and stood up for me warmed my heart. She would have stood by me if I had said no to her parents. She wouldn’t have called me weak or pathetic. That was reassuring, and it helped me realize that I was in a safe place.That’s why I have chosen to accept this assignment.After all, saying no to my dad’s demands for information would be a very dangerous move. He wouldn’t be as cool-headed as the royal family. I thought to myself, “This is the best side for me to be on.”“We know this will be hard for you, Davien, which is why you can always back out,” Alpha King Raiden said before he even began to explain what I would be doing as a two-way spy.“I want to do this, King Raiden. I won’t back down until we contain the situation,” I uttered confidently.How I wished my heart
Princess Katie Anne~~“We need you to cooperate with your dad, Davien. Be the spy that he wants you to be.”My mom’s words pricked my soul like poisonous needles.“She has got to be kidding,” Zuri was quick to blurt.Zoe, on the other hand, stifled a groan. “They all have got to be kidding. We should keep him away from those who traumatized him, not push him toward them.”I completely agreed with my wolves. This was bizarre, and from the look on my dad's, Auntie Susanna's, and Beta Andrew’s faces, I could tell they knew about this plan as well. This was the assignment Davien had been anxious about.Although my mate tried to hide the fact that he was nervously waiting for my dad to tell him what the assignment would be, I didn’t fail to sense how fast his heart was racing through the bond.Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought my parents would want Davien to be a spy… to spy on his own family.Even though they had hurt him in the past, they remained his family. The best thin
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~Breakfast was jolly.Every member of my family was smiling and chatting happily. It felt good to see them happy, but that didn't stop my heart from pounding with every second that passed.“Seems like we aren't the only nervous ones around the table,” Rio muttered to me, urging me to look at Davien.The deep frown on Davien’s face was enough to know that he was worried about the assignment my Pa said he had for him. I wouldn't be worried if I were him because Pa wouldn't put him in charge of anything he couldn't handle.On the other hand, I wasn't certain I could handle saying the right words when I had to reject Camila. I tried to do it alone in my bedroom, but I was scared I would say the wrong words and wouldn’t be able to undo it.So I decided that I would do it before my family. Of course, my younger siblings wouldn't be there—I didn't trust Ronald not to lose his newly acquired cool if he somehow found out that rejecting his best friend was my way of
DAVIEN~~Every time I felt like I was understanding this family, they shocked me without trying. This morning, it started with a family duel. If that was normalized in my family, Damien and I would have killed each other, and maybe my dad would have ended my life long ago.I didn’t know what to expect when we got to the field behind the palace, but when the duel began, I realized that it was more of a fun bonding time than a violent moment.At least, that was what I believed as we cheered for Ronald and Kyle. However, that belief shifted when the tip of the wooden sword with Ronald tore Kyle’s skin enough to cause bleeding.The fun was sucked out of me even though I saw Ronald smiling genuinely for the first time in days. My eyes widened when Kyle launched another attack that seemed more intense than the previous ones.Yet, every member of the royal family cheered them on.“He is going to hurt him, Katie. Shouldn’t we stop this? I think it has gone too far,” I whispered to my mate
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE’S POV~~Despite thinking for the past two days, I still couldn’t come to a conclusion. Clearly, I had to break the bond between Camila and me, or more appropriately, I had to pause the bond. That was the best option.Yet I couldn’t seem to accept it.Instead, the bond was fighting against the thought of pausing it.However, it was only a matter of time before my family, including extended family like Camila’s parents, began to pester me. With that knowledge in mind, I forced myself out of bed that morning and decided to participate in the morning training with my family.Usually, we train on the field behind our home. Just us. Once a week.They were surprised to see me walk out through the back door, but they quickly pulled themselves together. At least everyone else did, but Ronald didn’t. My brother glared at me, burning deep holes into my head.He was such a good friend. Right?“We better have a talk with that one soon,” Rio said those words to me, and I could
