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,
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I was pacing outside Kyle’s room with Katie in my arms. I could still hear Kyle’s cries and sense my daughter’s fear as she buried her face in the crook of my neck. I didn’t know what was taking Andrew so long to get Aurelia back to the hospital and I was too worried to begin tracing Andrew through the mind link. In fact, My mind was full of nothing but worries. “Please, Dad. Let me stay with Kyle. My presence in his room would help him relax.” Katie whimpered. “But the healer and doctor asked us to leave, Katie. We’ve to stay here until they let us in.” I patted my daughter’s back“But why? Mom always lets me stay beside Kyle when he is ill.” Katie cried out. I didn’t know how to comfort her as he small body shook in my arms and I tried my best to not wince each time her leg hit or move over the bullet wound on my side. If only Aurelia was here–“She’s here,” Lex announced into my mind the second he perceived Aurelia’s presence in the hospital. However, I felt h
LARISA’S POV ~~It’s been three days of no news from Dark Moon Pack. The news I expected to hear the most was the death of Raiden and Aurelia because even though I didn’t shoot her with a silver bullet, the poison I asked my men to soak the arrows in wasn’t exactly curable… I believed Aurelia would die slowly and I’d be able to return home. However, after days of silence from my aide, I was beginning to get impatient. I stared at the phone he and I had exchanged years ago in case of emergencies such as this one, hoping to hear it ring and see his name flash on the screen. “Aahhh…” I screamed. I have been staying in one of my father’s storage houses on the outskirts of the pack. I didn’t see myself spending two nights here not to think of more. I wanted comfort and this place wasn’t giving me that–My raging thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my cell phone ringtone. The sound blared through the small space I had made for myself in the storage and I rushed to pick it up fr
AURELIA~~Sadly, I had to spend another night at the hospital but this time, with Katie. My daughter has refused to leave Kyle's side even after Phoebe and the doctor taking care of Kyle had successfully put him to sleep.Before Phoebe and the doctor left the room for us, I was told that Kyle was suffering due to the treatment he received while in Larisa’s captivity. That brought tears to my eyes and I could only imagine what staying in Larisa’s lair for almost two weeks would do to anyone… and Kyle was just a kid.He was my sweet little boy. “I’d kill that witch.” Inara snarled within me, radiating with rage. While I felt pity for my son since I was informed that he was being haunted by the dark memories Larisa imprinted on his mind, Inara had been boiling with rage despite the fact that she was still weak from burning her energy to find the invisible lair. “How do we help Kyle forget? I need him to be carefree and happy again, Ina.” I cried to my wolf, staring down at my kids.
AURELIA~~I didn’t realize how much I needed to sleep until I did. To be honest, I couldn’t recall the last time I had such a deep sleep without Inara having to induce my sleep. It was way before I brought myself and my kids to Raiden’s pack out of my stupidity. As my eyes fluttered open that morning, I wondered what would have happened differently if I had stayed back at Black Fur… I wondered what life would be like for my kids. Katie wouldn’t have been bullied. Kyle wouldn’t have been kidnapped.The twins wouldn’t be traumatized. And of course, Jessica would still be here if Kyle wasn’t kidnapped in the first place.But If I had stayed back, I wouldn’t have known that Dakota was gone or heard about how Larisa manipulated the bond between Raiden and me even before she returned. Yes, I heard that part of her confession in the forest. I just didn’t know what to do with that piece of information and I haven’t had the time to let it sink in or make a difference. It shouldn’t eve
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
