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
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,
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE (14)~~Unfortunately, breakfast wasn’t jolly this morning, and it all started with the argument between Katie and my Pa.As much as I envy Katie, who seemed to be on the path to completing her mate bond, I do not want to be in her shoes. Heck! I am glad I won't have to be for a long time. Discussing my sex life with my parents wasn’t on my to-do list.Speaking of my to-do list, I have one important task to do today. I left the palace after breakfast to get the task done.“You can’t go empty-handed though,” my wolf muttered, causing me to stop dead in my tracks.“Right, but what can I get for her?” I asked my wolf with confusion.I was heading over to the white wolves’ settlement to find Camila, who usually spends her mornings with other white wolf kids. Since our schedule hasn’t been the same since my birthday, I wasn’t sure she would be in my library after her morning routine, so I decided to find her this morning.“How about the rewrite of Grandma Elora’s journa
DAVIEN~~“We are kicking you out, Katie,” Queen Aurelia said after a minute of uncomfortable silence. “See it as a gift.”“How is the pool house a gift? It’s nothing compared to my room, Mom,” Katie countered, her voice barely a whisper.I held her hand under the table, waiting to understand the situation before butting in.“It’s a gift because we are giving you your place and privacy. We don’t have to hear you and your mate all night and have this weird conversation every day—” Alpha King Raiden chimed in.However, Katie cut him off. “We don’t have to talk about it, Dad. It’s weird to you, but to me, it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Stop making it seem—”“Please don’t discuss this further, Katie. I am begging you,” King Raiden pleaded, his face turning white.I could imagine being in his shoes and having to hear my daughter moaning all through the night. While I wouldn’t find it disgusting, I would find it disturbing. Katie was his daughter. Once upon a time, she
Princess Katie Anne~~Goddess!I could just ride him forever. The tingling feelings that erupted within me every time he touched me were addictive, and I found myself wanting more. And more. And more!But sadly, my body failed me after I had burned all the energy I had. I wanted more of Davien but also needed to eat, and so did Davien, who had collapsed over me, pressing me into the bed.“For someone who just lost her virginity, that was incredible,” I heard Zoe comment as her words echoed through my fuzzy mind.Despite hearing her snide comment, I could only focus on the fact that I lost my virginity last night. I didn't wake up to a bloodstained sheet or sticky legs because Davien cleaned me up after our first time.“He is as sweet as his monster cock,” Zoe moaned within me, sending sparks through me.I whimpered to my freaky wolf, my sensitive core craving more friction, “Stop doing that, Zoe.”“I beg to differ. I love it,” Zuri said, sounding just as horny as I felt.I couldn't
