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

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~This can’t be happening. But it was happening. It was fucking happening and I couldn’t pick one emotion to focus on. Yes, I was angry. My trusted man was the snitch and I was sure as hell he was talking to Larisa on the phone.Another betrayal. This one was sharper, deeper, and more painful than Larisa’s betrayal and I couldn’t shake off the need to let my emotions out, especially the anger. “Raiden?” Andrew gasped, his brows raising like he was about to question me and he did question me. “The snitch? Me? Are you kidding me?” “I heard everything. How could you stab me in the back?” I snapped, lunging forward with my fists balled and ready to hit Andrew.Andrew tried to speak but I shut him up with a heavy blow to his face. My fist hurt but that was nothing compared to how much my heart was hurting. I didn’t stop with one blow, I continued, blocking my ears as Andrew grunted in pain, doing his best to dodge my attack and also fight back. Larisa betrayed me. Au

    LARISA’S POV ~~ Life outside the pack wasn’t easy. Although I had enough money and resources to fend for myself, it wasn’t the same as being part of a pack and enjoying the perks of being a Luna. The worst part of this life was waiting to get news or hear from my aide. If I was still in the pack, I wouldn’t have to wait this long. My aide and I have planned how he would break my parents out of prison and how he would help them get to me after hiding them in our home for a few nights because no one would think to search the place. However, I still haven’t seen my parents or heard from my aide even though the plan was supposed to kick off two nights ago. Yet I stayed in position. “They will soon be here,” I assured myself as I opened the door of the tenth storage house I have been to since I left Dark Moon Pack. I made sure I didn’t stay in a a place for too long because I didn’t want to be found by Raiden’s men who I knew were still searching everywhere for me. It was a go

    AURELIA~~I looked at the space where I had slept, cried, laughed, and felt many emotions in the past month for the last time. My kids and Hazel were already outside, and I was holding our last bag, ready to join them. I sighed as I began to walk toward the door but I stopped when I heard the sound of a cell phone ringing. My brows furrowed because the sound wasn’t coming from my handbag where my cellphone was safely tucked away and switched off as I didn’t want to hear from Tristan who must have been notified of our departure by Raiden’s men. There was no way anyone from Dark Moon would travel to Black Fur without informing Tristan.Out of curiosity, I traced the ringing sound to the bedside drawer on Hazel’s side of the bed, and lo and behold, I found a phone. I didn’t know how that was possible and how I had never noticed it until now.As I tried to read the unknown number, I perceived Hazel’s scent before I heard footsteps. Within a second, Hazel opened the door and entered t

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~They were gone… I stood in front of the apartment they once occupied until I couldn’t see the cars anymore… not even the trail of dust the car tires evoked as they zoomed off.My mate and my kids were gone.“It’s never too late to stop them from leaving. They are still within pack territory–” Lex began to utter words that he thought would change my mind about letting Aurelia go if that was what she wanted.But I shook my head, sadness crawling into my entire being as I countered, “No, Lex. It’s too late and this is where we say our goodbye. I can never get her back but I can still be a part of their lives.”“That’s not enough. What about the mate bond? What about the dreams you have–” Oh, the half-broken bond that I had stubbornly held on to? The dreams that can’t come true because I fucked up? I etched, “It’s time to let the bond and the dream of having my own family go.” There was no way I would give up on being an awesome father to my kids. I also won’t let Au

    Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV ~~“Kyle found his mate?”That question was expected, so I wasn’t surprised when my mom blurted it out with shock and curiosity. What I didn’t expect, walking into the living room, was to hear Katie telling our parents what I had told her in confidence.Katie went still and pale as realization flashed through her eyes. She stuttered into my mind, “You haven’t told them?”I failed to contain my rage as I retorted, “Of course, I haven’t! Why would you even think that I told them?”“I suspected you wouldn’t tell them without informing me, but I was cornered. I was under the impression that you told them last night. They made me believe—”Before Katie could finish speaking through our twin bond, my dad voiced, cutting her off, “Is that why you decided to leave the pack and study in the human realm? What went wrong?”“You can talk to us, Kyle. Are you going to the human realm because she is too young and you couldn’t make it work, or do you plan to go with her?”

    Princess Katie Anne~~Walking around the pack didn’t help me clear my head; neither did it help me stop thinking about Davien. I desperately yearned to be with him, to apologize to him not just because I was in his mind but because of the hell he had to grow up in.“I feel so sad,” Zuri eventually broke the silent bubble she had popped around herself.Zoe, who had been pointing out how she was wrong since Davien ran out of the purifying hut, added, “Me too. I have been mean to him, and all of this happened because of me. I was pushy and unreasonable.”“You sure were, Zoe, but you had to. I believe this happened for a reason,” Zuri said to Zoe, comforting her even though that was the last thing I expected from her.Clearly, what happened with Davien had bridged the gap between my wolves and me, and I could only hope that this bridge wouldn’t collapse anytime soon. I mean, both Zuri and Zoe can be very unpredictable.“Still, I'm sorry,” Zoe apologized to Zuri and me.Her sincerity br

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Davien!” I called out as he ran out of the purifying hut with undiluted terror in his eyes. “Please wait, Davien.”I pushed myself out of the lake, ready to run after the man whose mind I had seen and now knew like the back of my own hands. I didn’t just have a small peek. I was in Davien’s mind long enough to have a glimpse of every memory he had stored.I still didn’t know how I did it, but I knew I saw him laugh a few times, and when I went deeper, I saw the real him. The young boy whose family failed him in all ways. I saw the real him, and my heart ached for him.My heart nearly ripped itself out of my chest when he screamed in the memory realm. Seeing him shake even in that space made me realize the kind of damage that had been done to his mind and soul.Fuck!Why was I in his mind?Before I could make it out of the lake, fatigue hit me like an enemy who was hell-bent on stopping me from going after my mate. Auntie Susanna caught me before I could lose

    DAVIEN~~At first, I thought nothing was happening because, despite how much the white wolves Gamma, Susanna, and a famous mind reader tried to instruct Katie, I felt nothing.Katie felt nothing as well.Until it happened.An electrifying sensation crackled between Katie and me, and before I knew it, my mind transitioned into a space that was completely out of the ordinary.It felt strange. I was both confused and curious, looking around for answers that seemed to be slipping out of my grasp. In fact, nothing felt familiar until my voice sliced through the thick, foggy air, invading my ears.“Mom, please,” I cried.I cried, but at the same time, the cry wasn't mine. I mean, I don't sound like that anymore. Over the years, my voice had thickened, but the voice that I heard at that point was soft.Soft yet recognizable because it was the younger version of me.“Please let me attend the party with you and Damien. I won't try to make friends. I won't disgrace you and Dad,” my younger se

    Princess Katie Anne~~"Open your damn eyes, Katie Anne." Zoe’s vicious voice snapped through my mind in a way that made me groan even though I was trying to pretend to be asleep.Even though I have been awake for the past ten minutes.I just didn't want to open my eyes—“That's because you can feel our mate waiting for you, Katie. He even went downstairs to get breakfast for you,” Zuri muttered so softly.She was such a lover girl, the opposite of Zoe, of course.“Whatever. Just get your ass up and get it to the purifying, but where we have to be to channel enough to go into Dolf’s memory,” Zoe chimed emotionlessly.Although she didn't say it, I knew she believed that Davien went to get breakfast for me because he was hoping I would change my mind about taking the trip down memory lane with him. She didn't have to say it. I have come to know that she would read meaning into every action, including the meaningless and harmless.“You should get up, Katie. I agree with Zoe on this one,

    ALPHA PRINCE KYLE~~As soon as dinner ended that day, my Ma and Pa chose to walk me to my bedroom even though they had a nighttime ritual they performed with Elora, Ronald, and Kennedy. My younger siblings weren't pleased they wouldn't have the attention tonight, but I wasn't delighted to be getting it either. I wanted to be left alone, but in this house, it seemed like I was asking for too much. “You can leave now, Ma, and you too, Pa,” I said to my parents as soon as I got to the front of my bedroom door. The walk from the dining hall was silent, and I knew they had many questions to ask me, but I wasn't in the mood to entertain them tonight. “You know I am not leaving, young man.” My Ma chimed, countering and walking past me to enter my bedroom.I looked towards my Pa for help, but he raised his hand and shrugged, saying, “I can't leave now, can I?” With that said, he also stepped into my room. I began to panic because I knew my Ma would make me break down before her in a

    DAVIEN~~After Katie decided to read Dolf’s memory the next day because she was tired and also had to join the family for dinner, I also decided to tell her about my father’s text tomorrow. It would be if she could read my memories too and find out that I wasn’t involved in whatever conspiracy my family was cooking.I would do that tomorrow. I promised myself, walking side by side with Katie into the dining hall, where I was welcomed with warmth and smiles.Elora asked me to sit by her side, and to my surprise, Ronald and Kennedy began to talk about having a date with me, individually and also together.It was a wholesome time until Luna Queen Aurelia exhaled, her eyes on Katie, who seemed to be focusing on her meal. “Your brother isn’t here again tonight, Katie. What is it you aren't telling us?”Katie tensed for a minute before she looked back at her mom and stated, “You worry too much, Mom. Kyle is fine, and I already told you I have nothing to share with you. You can ask Kyle y

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Go down memory lane with me, Katie, and if you can, let’s peek at the future while at it.”Dolf’s voice echoed in my mind, instantly resulting in a drop of my jaw, as I didn’t expect this conversation to lead us here. I thought he would be hurt, and Davien too. I knew I would be hurt if he were to tell me that he didn’t trust me, even though I had done nothing to earn his distrust.Hurt and anger were what I expected, but Davien was staring at me with those warm honey-brown eyes, and Dolf's voice was soothing in my mind.Dolf’s offer was tempting, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to do that.“And why on earth would you not?” Zoe’s voice resonated in my mind, leaving Dolf out of the conversation even though his consciousness was stirring within my mind as well.Before I could respond, Zuri chimed in, “Because if he is offering to do that, then he has nothing to hide, Zoe. We can’t keep hurting them just because of what someone in the past did to us. It’s not fair to

    DAVIEN~~“Experiencing the war so close and having two parents actively fighting a war that could have been avoided broke me. My mom returned bloody and in tears. She was wounded, but she didn’t care about herself because my dad was unconscious,” Katie said.Although this was not how the conversation started, we got to this point where she opened her heart and bore her soul to me. I moved to sit beside her on the bed, and I held her hands when I noticed how difficult it was for her to continue.I didn’t want to speak or interrupt her, but I still wanted her to know that I was listening and would always listen to her.“My dad’s condition almost tore us apart. Mom lost herself and could barely look at us. Kyle and I had to manage our feelings. I’m not blaming my mom for not paying attention to us then because I know how difficult it was for her. What I am saying is that although the entire realm felt the scorching wildfire of the war, my family and I were the closest to the flame.”My
