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

    AURELIA~~Hazel gave me a stiff smile as she stepped out of the bathroom. I smiled at her, feeling guilty because a part of me assumed she couldn’t wait to return home. I should have given her a specific date, instead of making her wonder when exactly “in a few days” meant. I couldn't deny the truth that my desire to find answers was clouding my sense of decision. Hopefully, I’ll get more answers from Iris tonight.“Let’s move.” Katie sing-song, performing a little dance to show her excitement. I chuckled at my daughter’s happiness and quickly glanced at Kyle, ruffling his hair as I asked, “Are you okay with walking or do you want Mama to carry you in her strong arms?” “I’m fine, Mama. I can walk and my only issue is my stomach.” Kyle responded, rubbing his belly as we all strolled towards the front door.My brows furrowed, “What’s wrong with your belly? Is it aching?” “No, Mama.” Kyle laughed. “It’s grumbling. I’m so so hungry and my tummy wants some delicious food.” I laughe

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~You’ve got to be kidding me!No! They have got to be fucking kidding me!“What did you just say to me?” I growled, losing every restraint I had put on myself just to enjoy dinner with the family I’d be letting go in a few days. If Jake knew what was good for him, he better not repeat those words or tell me he was just trying to pull a prank on me. As if he could read my mind, Jake opened his mouth, only to close it again, like a confused fish. I stepped closer to him, snarling, “Answer me!” “Nolan and Helan… and a few of their men escaped the cell, Alpha,” Jake answered instantly and fluently. I wasn’t surprised that he spoke without stuttering. At least he had that going for him but that didn’t reduce the intensity of the rage swelling within me as his words echoed in my head. “Tell me you don’t mean that, Jake.” Jake shook his head, holding his hand at it shook uncontrollably. “I’m sorry I let you down, Alpha. I was supposed to be on watch and I let you down.

    AURELIA~~I didn’t let my gaze off my kids even though I could sense Raiden’s men around the house. To me, his men were useless and it has become clear to me that Larisa’s parents' escape could only have been possible if someone from the inside let them out. Exactly, there was someone on the inside pulling the string for Larisa and her family. Raiden must have realized this by now, I supposed… but he could only be too livid to use his senses and put two and two together. Tale of a proud and arrogant Alpha.“I don’t like this.” Inara chimed into my mind. She was on high alert even though we were sitting in Raiden’s sitting room. I responded, “I don’t as well. I wish we could just have dinner and leave immediately or after I speak with Iris. I hate being stuck within these walls.” My eyes scanned the living room and I had to force myself to not think about the past for the thousandth time this night. That was what staying in Raiden’s mansion did to me. I hate it here.“I know ho

    AURELIA~~“We can’t be honest with her. You’ve to come up with a lie.” Inara chimed her argument into my head as I fought a mental battle in order to decide the path I would be taking with Iris’s words echoing in my mind as a reminder of my situation.“But for how long would I keep lying? Think about it, Ina.” I countered my wolf despite the battle going on within me. “Iris seems like the only person who can help me get answers. She’s partially like us and she can lead us home, help us get better with our abilities, maybe, I can know my parents.”“They are dead, Relia. What’s the point of digging up the dead past? Whereas we have Tristan to do more than Iris could ever do. He brought us this far.” Inara argued convincingly. I frowned, annoyance zapping through me. “I thought you were on my side this time. You motivated me to find answers.” “What’s wrong with you! I’m always on your side and yes, I support getting answers but not revealing who we are. Think about the risk we’d be

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~After what seemed like a split second but most definitely not, I arrived in front of the one place I knew Nolan and his wife would be hiding… the one place no one else would think to check. The Wellington’s mansion. Nolan’s home. The idea could sound silly to anyone and perhaps that was why I didn’t inform my men about my suspicions, not even when I forcefully kicked down the front door. After Larisa played me, I was certain Nolan would try to as well but unfortunately for him, I was prepared. Alone, yes but still prepared to face whatever was thrown at me. On clue, Lex sniffed the house as I stepped inside and he instantly announced, “They are here. I knew it!” They must take me for a fool… “At least this one time you aren’t stupid.” Lex mocked despite the seriousness of the moment. For goddess’s sake, I could be walking into a trap that would kill me.Lex scoffed, “Like Nolan could kill you. That would be an insult.” “Well quit chitchatting, we’ve got to f

    AURELIA~~I was invited to the public execution of Larisa’s parents but since the scene wouldn’t be appropriate for kids, I decided to stay back at the apartment and pack in preparation for the journey back home.Hazel was helping me pack while Katie and Kyle played a game in the corner of the room. “What do you think he’d do to them?” Hazel asked me, folding her clothes into a duffel bag, Instantly, I figured she was talking about how Raiden would handle Larisa’s parents. I wasn’t certain but after Ronald’s death and Iris’s near-death experience, I knew Raiden wouldn’t go easy on Larisa’s parents. Was I okay with their possible death? Yes, I was. Larisa was okay with killing my friend and almost killing my son and me, so why should I care about what happens to her crazy parents?“I hope he kills them. The world doesn’t need people like them and Larisa deserves to feel the pain that comes with losing someone she loves. She damaged so many families.” I said to Hazel. But she sn

    AURELIA~~“Come sit with me,” I muttered to the twins, feeling the weight of the past crushing my mind as I let the painful memories flow.“Are you sure you want to tell them?” Inara asked me, worried about the same thing I have been worried about– Protecting the kids from the darkness I experienced in the past. “If not all, they still need to know some. I can’t keep lying to them. Especially Katie. She already thinks Raiden is her Hero.” I snorted, feeling a bit jealous. Was I doing this because I was jealous of the relationship the kids were building with Raiden? Maybe. Despite the few good he had done during our forced stay, I still didn’t want him to steal my kids from me. The Raiden I married always had an ulterior motive. I was finding it difficult to believe that he had really changed. I moved some of the clothes on the bed to another side, creating a place for me and the twins to sit. Katie had stopped crying but her eyes were wet and Kyle stared at me with interest as

    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
