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 TRISTAN’S POV (4)~~“Argh!” I groaned angrily, flinging my cell phone against the nearest wall. A shattering sound reverberated in my bedroom as pieces of the cell phone scattered across the floor. Blood pumped fiercely in my veins and I could have sworn that the world had suddenly turned red because that was all I saw. “I told you not to leave her there but you didn’t listen.” Dolf seethed within me.My wolf believed this new development wouldn't have happened if I was still in Dark Moon pack with Aurelia. Perhaps he was right. I couldn’t be certain but I was sure as hell that Jessica wouldn’t have died in a strange territory if I was there. And Aurelia wouldn’t be there alone with the bastard that brought this doom into her life… our lives.My fists clenched as I recalled the last time I saw Jessica. I also recalled breaking Jessica’s leg intentionally just to get Aurelia to perform in the finals of the stupid pack games! Stupid! I was so stupid!Of course, I was used to

    AURELIA~~My chest rose and fell rapidly and tears streamed down my face. I felt useless. Completely useless and broken, I struggled to get a glimpse of Kyle who was surrounded by healers and doctors, collectively restraining him as he kicked vigorously and cried out, horror loud in his voice. Kyle was experiencing another episode. One of many in the past two days and I was losing my mind. Thankfully, Katie wasn’t in the hospital to witness this particular one but sadly, my daughter had witnessed more than enough to know that her brother was suffering and the hospital wasn’t helping him.“What’s taking him so long?” Inara sniveled and I instantly knew she was talking about Alpha Tristan who still hadn’t contacted me in the past two days. I was becoming anxious and very scared. Seeing Kyle fight with unseen demons was killing me and I couldn’t help but hate myself for putting my son through this torment. “Perhaps he is taking his time because there is no hope for Kyle,” I mutter

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   89. The Extinct Pack

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~Why are the women in my life stubborn and annoyingly strong? From the oldest, my mom to the youngest, Katie, they find a way to drag me through hell without lifting a finger. “Mom…” I called out again, carrying her unconscious body to the second bed in the room. Aurelia’s eyes were still wide and teary as she watched me place my mom in the bed and Kyle just seemed confused. I wouldn’t blame him. After all, he had just woken up from a long disturbing sleep to see an unfamiliar woman collapse by his bedside. Within a minute, a doctor and a healer stormed into the room as I had already asked them to stay close. It’s safe to say that I knew this would happen. I predicted that something would go wrong because my mom wasn’t fit to use her rusty abilities but she was hell-bent on saving Kyle from the dark dreams had been enduring for many days. And for that, I was grateful. But again, why do the women in my life have to be stubborn and unreasonable? “What happened her

    AURELIA~~“You’re a white wolf?” I didn’t know when those words slipped past my lips. I was experiencing the biggest shock of my life and yes, I called it that despite the crazy shocking experiences I’ve had in my twenty-six years of living.“Partially a white wolf, child,” Iris responded. “My mom was a white wolf who was born in the extinct pack and my father was a member of this pack. My parents met each other during one of the quinquennial pack games. They realized they were destined mates and my mom moved down to dark moon pack to start a family with my father. I’m their only child and instead of giving me one simple wolf, the moon goddess decided to bless me with a mixture of both worlds I originated from, Dark Moon and White shade.” I couldn’t believe my ears. In fact, I didn’t know what to make of her words. Despite my silence, Iris continued speaking, telling me more about a world I didn’t know about, “I was born with black hair but with visible white strands and I’ve ha

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~“Gently, Mom.”I whispered, holding her gently and guiding her steps as we walked out of the pack’s hospital. It took two days for my mom to regain the energy she used to heal Kyle’s mind and Kyle was also fully recovered which meant we could all go home. Kyle was in Hazel’s arms and Katie walked hand in hand with Aurelia. I felt at peace knowing that this was the last time any of them would be at the hospital because of me or as a result of my failures. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news but now that Kyle is healthy and discharged from the hospital, Aurelia would begin planning her return to Black Fur Pack. They would be gone, Raiden.” Lex imprinted each word into my mind. My breath caught in my nostrils as his words echoed in my head and knowing that he was right killed me but I didn’t react. Instead, I helped my mom down the sloppy exit of the hospital and sighted Andrew and a few of my men standing beside two cars. Although my home wasn’t exactly far from th

    AURELIA~~Despite being back in the apartment, I still didn’t feel at peace. Yes, I was happy to have my son with me, hale and healthy. It gladdens my heart to see Kyle and Katie playing together again. I was happy my daughter didn’t have to worry and my son didn't have to deal with trauma.But a lot doesn’t seem right. There was a void in the depth of my soul. “Are you yearning to kill Larisa?” Inara asked, trying to understand the void in our soul. She could feel it as well. “I do but that’s not all. I have tons of questions, Inara.” I responded, confusion oozing off my pores. Fortunately, Hazel entered the bedroom, saving me from myself as she uttered, “So when do we start packing?” “Packing?” I asked, blinking my confusion away. “Packing to go home, Aurelia. We have to return, right?” Hazel clarified. I nodded quickly, “Yes, of course. We are going home. Jessica needs to be buried properly and in her homeland.” Mentioning Jessica stirred buried emotions in both Hazel

    ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~My cell phone ringtone blared loudly as the device vibrated in my pocket, creating a distraction during an important meeting. My men and the elders of the pack looked at me while I ignored their gaze, taking out the device and saw a familiar name flashing on its screen. I exhaled, thankful that it wasn’t Aurelia calling again. A lump raised in my chest as the thought of her crossed my mind– Fuck! This is exactly why I’ve been ignoring her calls and avoiding speaking to her even though it was killing me. Talking to Aurelia would take me back to the library and I couldn’t afford to be stuck there right now. My pack needed me. Of course, it pained me to know that Kyle was still suffering because of my inability to help as Aurelia asked. I haven’t been able to find any means to help Kyle in the library and I didn’t know if I could tell Aurelia that without breaking her heart–“Stop lying to yourself.” Dolf seethed within me. “You would have found something if y

    ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~As my eyes fluttered open, I could have sworn that my body had forgotten what it meant to be alive. Opening my eyes was harder than it should ever be for anyone but adjusting my eyes to the brightness around me was way harder than opening them. I let out a groan when I tried to lift a finger and pain consumed me. My entire body ached. I felt so heavy.“Alpha. You are awake.” Louis. That was his voice but it sounded more like noise to me as his voice sent a sharp ring through my aching head, making me groan again. At the moment, I didn’t feel like an Alpha. It took forever before I could see clearly and Louis's face was the first thing I saw. He was hovering above me, looking at me like he was scanning me for damages. “Thank the Goddess. I was beginning to worry that you might never wake up–” Louis stated, smiling. But seeing him so close to me sent flashes of what I knew was the past through my mind. I recalled everything. How he joined forces with Laris

    aryAURELIA~~“We can’t give up like this, Relia. You shouldn’t give up like this. Mend him. Do something.” Inara uttered, urging me even though Raiden was gone. Do something… I couldn’t count the number of times I had heard those two words today and I hated the sound of it, mostly because I couldn’t do anything. “Yes you can, Alpha.” Tamia’s voice echoed in my mind. I didn’t know how she managed to reach me despite the turmoil my mind had become but she did and her voice would have given me some sort of peace if I wasn’t mourning my mate… My teary eyes found Tamia and Lori beside me, making me wonder how long I had sat in the dirt with Raiden’s body. For how long has his heart been crushed right there in my presence? For how much longer can I keep this devastating news from my kids–“Oh, my kids.” I cried out, undiluted misery settling within my being, making itself at home. They just got their father. How do I tell them it would be just us from now on? How do I manage this

    AURELIA~~I knew I screamed. I felt my lips parting and my lungs pushing out air as my mouth widened. I knew I screamed but I heard nothing. The world went still while Raiden kept falling. Faster than my brain could register. Faster than my body could react. Although I was still standing, I fell with him. Although my eyes were still open, they closed the second his eyes did. I saw the same darkness he saw when he closed his eyes. I felt the same pain he felt when his heart was engulfed by a strong force and maybe I screamed because I knew there would be no going back as that force crushed his heart before I could even blink. “No!” Inara’s cry burst through my crushed soul as she exclaimed, “Do something, Relia.” But what could I have done? After draining Larisa as my wolf suggested, I didn’t expect any sudden movement from her. Heck, she was as good as dead and when Louis screamed those warning words, I was too tired to react quickly. Converting Larisa’s dark energy to pure

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~It took seeing Larisa and Aurelia in a fight for me to realize that I was wrong to assume that I could take down Larisa just because I was the most powerful Alpha in the realm… Physical strength was no use against Larisa because she had soaked my soul in dark energy. She wasn’t even touching me and I was feeling pain despite floating in the air like gravity had decided to take a break.Sadly I realized that I was of no use in this war. In fact, I was merely a weak link that Larisa wanted to use to defeat Aurelia and have her way in the realm. I was trying so hard not to scream and came off as a powerless puny before my exhausted mate and my warriors but this pain was eating me alive. It was everywhere. Digging deep into me. I have been trying to block the pain from getting to Aurelia as I could tell that she didn’t need that right now. If I couldn’t contribute power, I shouldn’t add pain either.But of course, that wasn’t easy to achieve. I could feel the pain slip

    AURELIA~~Raiden’s scream was heard by every warrior. I could feel every one of our friends and pack members freezing for a moment as we all understood that for an Alpha; in fact, the strongest Alpha in the realm; to scream like that, hell was coursing through him. We all understood. I, as his mate and Luna, knew even better because the second the hell burst out within him, I felt it burning me from within and it was only a matter of time before I let out a scream of my own. “You dare not, Relia.” Inara’s voice echoed, breaking through whatever Larisa was doing to Raiden which was affecting me greatly as I tried to keep the spiritual link between me and the warriors open. If those links should close, they would all die as they would be no match for Larisa’s fortified warriors. “It hurt. I’m burning from within and–” I cried to my wolf even though Phoebe was still right behind me, healing me and Otis keeping me out of sight.“Do you know why she is coming at you hard?” Inara as

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~My feet couldn’t carry my body weight fast enough as I ran through the forest, noticing how deserted my pack was. Those pack members who were not in the hall with Mia Lu were with Aurelia on the battlefront where my body was literally yanking me toward.I was on high alert and if I was being honest with myself, I would admit that I wasn’t in my right senses but how do I even think when all I felt was the urgent and dying need to be with Aurelia? It was like a pull.The kind of pull a mate should feel only when his mate is in grave danger. The kind that makes a man’s heart bleed and every nerve in his body go out of control.Yes, I was losing it. I had lost it from the second I regained consciousness and felt the strange burn on Aurelia’s mark which was sitting on my neck.I woke up with the need to get out. To break free and get to Aurelia even though my kids were in the hall and beside me. The second I saw Mia Lu stagger due to exhaustion, I ran and hadn't stopped

    AURELIA~~“You did it, Alpha.” Jeremy’s words echoed in my mind. He was satisfied. I could tell, even though I wasn’t looking at his face, that he was smiling. Together we have extended our spiritual energy and every warrior with his now has enough to fight against Larisa’s warriors. I have been trying to study their behavior and movement since we arrived. They seemed strange and I had also reported everything I noticed to Tamia and Lori through the mind link. The duo promised to start working on breaking Larisa’s hold on the warriors of Black Fur who might still decide to fight us afterward but when we get to that bridge we will cross it.“Stay with me, Alpha. You can’t be distracted now that you have announced yourself to the witch.” Jeremy warned me, becoming a friend faster than I could ever imagine. He had my back.I felt safe with him.“For how long can we keep this going?” I asked Jeremy through the mind link, my eyes on Andrew who has his hand on one of our opponent’s hea

    LARISA’S POV ~~That bastard Jake!He couldn’t do anything right!He failed to save my parents and now he even failed to kill this bitch…I didn’t see this coming and I hated the sight of her. I felt like pulling all my hair out just because she was standing there and wasn’t an illusion. And did that warrior just refer to her as the Luna of Dark Moon Pack? This has to be wrong. I was hallucinating–“Oh, I’m very real, Larisa,” Aurelia said to me like she could hear my thoughts. Yes, I was screaming them in my head but still, she…Argh! Aurelia chuckled, fueling my rage as she said, “For me, it’s good to see you again, Larisa because not only have I taken my rightful place as Raiden’s mate and Luna of this pack but I’m also his wife and the mother of his kids.” Her words ripped me apart, limb by limb. That was my biggest dream. To be everything to Raiden but she had always been in the way and now? Now she was living my dreams–“And of course, that’s the least of my achievements

    AURELIA~~I heard him scream. I heard him plead. I heard him lose his cool. Scratch that, I felt it more, his emotions pushing through our bond in a way that had me standing outside the shield for what seemed like forever even though I had no time to waste. I just couldn’t bring myself to move away from the house even though it was hidden perfectly within Tamia’s shield. I could see beyond the shield if I wanted to but I was scared I would change my mind if I was to see Raiden again. I was afraid I would let him out because he doesn't deserve to be locked up against his will–“We have to move now, Luna Aurelia,” Seth said to me, without asking questions about why I had to lock Raiden up. Even Andrew who was standing on my other side didn’t question me. It was as if they knew. I also didn’t ask them any questions as my feet failed to move away from the shield. I didn’t realize Andrew was experiencing the same until I heard him groan in pain. Susanna was also beyond his reach a
