Princess Katie Anne~~My feelings remained unchanged. I didn't want to leave my family, but neither did I want to be apart from my mate.However, I would have to sacrifice a few days with my family if that meant I could show Alpha Jarrett that I wasn't one to be messed with. I was no weak princess whom he could terrify.I was Katie Anne Flockhart, daughter of the powerful Aurelia Seer King Flockhart.Of course, I intended to show Alpha Jarrett that, but not before I made Davien mark me, even if I had to tie him down to get it done. I knew he could tell I was on a mission even before we entered the pool house that had become our home for the past three months."I expect a response from my dad by morning, but I better start packing before going to bed." Davien uttered as soon as I closed the main door behind me, telling me he would pack for me as well. "You can go to bed. I will join you as soon as I am done packing."Smooth.I mean, Davien's effort to avoid going to bed with me beca
AURELIA~~“Look at me.” He grunted out an order, sending shivers down my spine as he slammed into me like a beast. “Look into my eyes, mate!” Another order came and this time, I obeyed him even though it was hard to fight against the need to let my eyes roll to the back of my skull while he tore me apart with every thrust. I looked into the mesmerizing gray pair of eyes that I had come to love. I felt every part of him sinking into me roughly and pleasure and pain accompanied each thrust. For some minutes, the pleasure outweighed the pain but my body still recognized the pain my mate… the man I loved with every bone in my body was causing me while he chased after his pleasure. Despite the dull discomfort between my legs, I still found myself moaning when my mate drove himself into me the minute our gazes locked, “Alpha.” I itched to cry out his name. I wished I could give in to my desire, let my fingers sink into his dirty blond hair, and guide his head downwards until our lips
AURELIA~~I have always known no one in the pack respected me as their Luna but until now, no one except Nina had the guts to disrespect me to my face. They usually murmured and laughed at me behind my back but they wouldn't dare lay their hands on me.But that changed the minute Nina gave the warriors an order that I didn't know would change my life forever… “What are you doing? You can’t do this!” I yelled, struggling to free myself from the stronghold of the warriors whose hands were crushing my shoulder as they attempted to yank me out of the kitchen.My struggles were futile, of course. I was pulled out of the kitchen like a lightweight paper by the warriors despite my screams of protest. “What are you planning to do with me?” Are they kidnapping me, I asked myself but quickly blurted another question. “What gives you the right to touch me? I belong to the Alpha and he would have your head for ever laying your hands on me!” Nina laughed hysterically. She told the warriors
AURELIA~~It was her. I knew her. Although I was yet to see her face as she was cooped up in my mate's arms and her back was to me while her face was getting loved on by the man that was supposed to be mine– by the man who didn’t give me as little as a peck on the cheek despite being married and mated to him for the past three years. First time in my mate’s office and this was what I saw? Huh? The familiar shiny long blond hair was enough to let my crashing self know that the woman in my mate’s arms was no other than Princess Larisa Wellington, his ex-girlfriend. My lips trembled, my entire body shook as every part of my already shattered heart broke into tiny pieces and my puffy eyes were filled with hot tears once again. I wasn’t usually a crybaby even though everyone around thought so but how do I stop crying when I was witnessing the end of my life? Heck! He had never kissed me. I had never gotten the opportunity to be kissed by him… by anyone at that. Yet, he was kissi
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I could feel rage still boiling inside of me even though several hours had passed since the woman I was forced to marry and mate with tried to sever the same bond that I sacrificed my happiness to create. The nerve of her! Who does she think she is? Some goddess in charge? Tsk… My eyes caught the dark sky of the night as I emptied another shot of the strongest tequila in my bar, kinda hoping that it would kill my anger and stabilize my spiraling emotions but drinking didn’t help me. Within a few minutes, I was drunk yet I didn't stop drinking. “Why am I still sensing anger from you, Raid.” The soothing voice of the woman my heart beat for, echoed through the bar and my eyes eagerly searched for the beauty of her face. “Don’t tell me you are drunk because of her.” I couldn’t stop myself from smiling sheepishly when Larisa’s face popped before mine. She left to meet up with her old friends a few hours after the woman I was forced to marry vexed me. I might be dr
AURELIA~~“No”I let out that word despite knowing that it would only fuel Alpha Raiden’s anger. He could get angry but I had the right to say no to him. I was done with him. I was done giving him every part of me without asking for parts of him in return. I was done loving him with all of me even though my heart was kicking against the idea of that. “What was that, mate?” Alpha Raiden asked, his voice low and challenging. I inhaled sharply, finding it hard to repeat that single word. I averted my eyes and took steps away from him and the bed. He shouldn’t be able to keep me around while he wants another woman– but he could do that. He was the Alpha. He could have his cake and eat it. “Do you need me to repeat myself, woman!” Alpha Raiden growled impatiently and I nearly jumped out of my own skin as he pumped fear into my bloodstream. He started peeling his shirt off without caring about me and angrily, he hissed, his eyes burning holes into my face, “Strip this instance!”Th
AURELIA~~The next few days went in a blur. Much to my relief and dismay, Alpha Raiden stopped coming to the room. He hasn’t been here for the past two nights. He didn't let me leave the sex room and I also didn't know what was going on out there in the pack. I also didn’t have the energy to do anything more than shower in the adjoining bathroom and wrap myself in the sheets that still smell like Alpha Raiden and I. I was crazy for and about him. As stupid as that might sound. Usually, my meals were delivered to me by servants who would push my tray of almost disgusting food through the space that I woke up to find underneath the door. The space was just big enough to let the tray in and out of the room. Clearly, I had been living the life of a prisoner yet I dared not reject Alpha Raiden and free myself from the torment he was putting me through. The fear of what he was capable of doing to me if I tried to reject him again kept getting in the way… or maybe I was too scared of
AURELIA~~I lay in bed… in agony. My eyes were swollen and my body burning from the intense and unbearable pain that I had to endure all through the night. It was a new day – the day Larisa would be crowned Luna of the Dark Moon pack. The day I would be dethroned and publicly insulted. Perhaps I should be out there fighting for my title and my mate but I was still suffering from all she and Alpha Raiden spent the night doing. I felt it all this time. Maybe it was because Larisa already told me about their steamy moments, I couldn't tell but I felt the effect of every thrust, touch, and kiss that my mate pleased Larisa with over the night. For some reason, the bond carried Alpha Raiden’s betrayal to me.I lay in bed lifelessly. “Please take my soul now, Moon Goddess. Let me die now. I can’t take this anymore.” I thought to myself, hoping that the moon goddess would hear my internal cry as I couldn’t part my lips to speak. I just wanted to die. If I died, everyone would get t

DAVIEN~~Taking Katie with me to my family’s territory was like leading a sheep into a lion's den. Katie was a strong woman, but I wouldn’t want to test just how strong she was by endangering her life—the same life that my dad had threatened so many times in the past few months just to have his way.“Aside from that, Katie wouldn’t want to leave her family. She is tied to them,” Dolf said into my mind, agreeing with me.But the other people in the living room didn’t think the same way, and I couldn’t blame them. After all, none of them knew about my dad’s threats.“Can we stop cursing and express objections in a more polite manner?” Queen Aurelia chimed in, looking at Katie and me in particular.I nodded, but before I could speak, King Raiden uttered, raising his brows, “Why are you against Katie going with you? It’s the best solution.”All eyes turned to me, and I could feel my palms dripping with sweat. Do I tell them that my dad claims he can wipe out white wolves—the only clan
Princess Katie Anne ~~Hell no!Hell no! Hell fucking no!“You don’t have to. This is all a scheme to fish out the rebellious Alphas, but you don’t have to go back there,” I exclaimed, holding Davien’s gaze for a minute before my eyes shifted around the living room. I asked no one in particular, “Right? He doesn’t have to do this, right?”But no one responded.Everyone kept quiet as if they didn’t know what the text from Davien’s dad was all about.I mean, Alpha Jarrett had commanded my mate to return to the Black Fur pack for some unknown reason that I knew wouldn’t be good. I couldn’t let Davien go, not when we were just connecting on a deeper level.Not when my heart beat for him.And definitely not when I knew that being apart would drive my needy wolves crazy. In turn, my wolves would drive me crazier, and not to forget the hormones that have skyrocketed ever since the first time Davien made love to me.“It’s not a death sentence, Katie. Don’t you think you are reacting a litt
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~“Are you serious?” Camila asked after a few minutes of silence that must have made her realize that I wasn’t trying to be funny.I nodded, “Yes, I am, Mila. That letter has to be opened in five years when you turn eighteen years old.”The plan was simple—write letters to her on every birthday, and in each letter, I would tell her what I did the entire year. This particular letter contained how I found out she was my mate and everything I had to do so we could both have a normal life.I chose to do this because it was the only way I believed Camila would understand what had happened and why I had to do what I did. I didn’t want to risk losing our bond forever when she turned eighteen and hated me.“Exactly, Kyle. It’s five years away. Why give me a letter I can’t read for the next five years as a gift?”Of course, my brothers understood why, but they didn’t say a word, giving me the chance to say, “Because I am trying to teach you patience, Camila. Now do
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV~~While my family and Camila’s parents planned a surprise birthday party and forced me to be a part of it, I wanted to tell them that she would rather spend her birthday in a haven where books are unlimited and with a few friends.But they wouldn’t listen to me. That was why I let them plan the party, but that didn’t stop me from planning a different party for Camila.And of course, the venue we needed was my private library. Only a few people were invited. By "few," I meant Ronald, who was there because he wouldn’t miss his best friend's real birthday party; Kennedy, who still enjoyed reading; and Soraya, because she was the only female friend of Camila who wouldn’t spend the entire night trying to get my attention or that of my brothers, who weren’t even teenagers yet.We celebrated Camila by reading her favorite book, and soon it was time to gift her.Ronald took the lead, presenting a fancy box and saying, “You have been talking about these sneakers, so
Princess Katie Anne~~Three months went by in the twinkling of an eye.I had been training and had gotten better at using my spiritual energy. Although my physical strength was still so much better, my spiritual strength had grown strong enough for me to train confidently with Elora.Yeah, Elora, my little sister.She had rubbed it in my face a few times, but she was also a darling, helping me to train alongside the greatest trainers that I had been assigned to.Another thing I had achieved within the past three months was peace and happiness. I found all of that even though I now had to live away from my childhood home. I wouldn’t trade our little home for anything.I had come to love having a space that Davien and I could share despite my initial emotional outburst, and clearly, I wasn’t far enough away from my annoying siblings.“Right now, I want to be far away from everyone and break a few things,” Zoe seethed within me just as Davien’s scent hit my nostrils.My mate walked in
DAVIEN~~“I am sorry I undermined you before my family. Although that wasn't my intention, I did it regardless, and I am so sorry, Davien,” Katie said, her voice filled with sincerity even though we were lashing out at each other a few seconds ago.My chest rose and fell as if my heart were on the verge of stopping. I hated confrontations, and it was all because I had never gotten to speak my mind or express myself during any confrontation until now.I expressed myself, and Katie listened. She understood me. She set her emotions aside and chose to apologize to me.That made me feel like the luckiest man alive.I knew this would happen, and I might have been rehearsing the words I would say to Katie all day, even though I still couldn’t get my dad’s threat to kill her and the other white wolves out of my mind.Never had I been involved in politics. Until now, and I spent the whole day with Raiden and Aurelia. Yes, they finally made me call them by their names. After getting correcte
Princess Katie Anne~~It was no secret that Davien and I weren’t on the same page about the pool house that my parents wanted us to move into. Even though we had both spent the day away from each other, I couldn’t get him out of my mind.Mostly, this was due to the steamy love-making sessions we had enjoyed overnight. However, I still couldn’t shake off or ignore the annoyance simmering beneath my desire. I felt like Davien could have taken my side during breakfast this morning.I certainly wasn’t committing a crime by having sex with him, and no one saw me complaining about my parents, who we all knew had been in the game since before I was born—I mean, it’s the very reason I was conceived in the first place. Every member of my family knew me well enough to anticipate that Davien and I would eventually have a confrontation as soon as we were alone together. Unfortunately, we had been apart all day, and this issue kept burning within me, leaving me unfocused during both my physical
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE ~~“Ronald told me you would be here to bribe me, so I am not stunned to see you,” Camila stated, folding her arms around her small frame with a look of playful defiance.“It’s a gift, Mila. Reading the journal to you is not a bribe; it’s a gift,” I argued with a bright smile, mentally firing curse words at Ronald through our mental link.Of course, he told her. He was such a talker, always eager to spill whatever secrets he thought would spice up the atmosphere between him and his best friend.“Whatever, Prince Kyle,” she replied, rolling her eyes, even though a mischievous twinkle danced in them. “Whether this is a bribe or a gift, I will accept it, but I also have some conditions. Since you are the charming prince, you don’t have to—”“I will do anything if that means you will forgive me and stop being mad at me, Camila. I am not a charming prince with you. I am simply Kyle, your nerdy godbrother.” I cut her off, exhilarated by the freedom I felt around Camila,
