~<>~

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.”

And Larisa strikes again... I guess. Thank you for reading. Love, Kiki.

    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

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~I felt at peace as I looked at Nolan’s lifeless body while his wife screamed her lungs out. She was clearly experiencing the pain of losing her mate but I didn’t care. I couldn’t bring myself to care.Nolan for Ronald. Larisa’s father for my father. It was simple. An eye for an eye. “Take his body to one of the cells. Let him rot there like my father did in his daughter’s captivity.” I let out that order without a single emotion slipping. My men rushed to carry out the order while my pack members silently watched. There was no kid around to witness the gruesome scene. I continued speaking, “Let this be a lesson to you all. If you are caught with the traitor, you will be stripped of your honor and dealt with in ways you can’t even imagine. It’s either you give up on helping Larisa or never get caught. This is my last warning.” I wanted whoever was working with Larisa to know that I was onto them. That would push him or her to make a mistake and reveal himself or

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~With an unexplainable pain surging in the core of my soul, I muttered to the twins, “Can I see your mom? I need to talk to her–” “No, you can’t. She has nothing to say to you.” Katie countered sharply. Kyle supported without hesitation, “And you have nothing to say to her.” My brows furrowed. I could battle with a multitude of warriors but these two were my weakness. Without much defense, they were impenetrable. “Did you do something to them? They are very mad, Raid.” Lex asked at first but he soon voiced his assumptions. “You must have offended them. Just apologize. I can’t stand the glares.” I took my wolf’s advice even though I was certain I didn’t do anything that could have offended the twins… At least not recently. I cleared my throat, my apology slipping out. “Whatever I did, I’m sorry. Dad can be a fool at times, Sweeties. Can you forgive me?”“Not when you hurt Mama.” Kyle seethed to my surprise. Katie rubbed more salt on my open wound when she also add

    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

    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,
