AURELIA~~“Look at me.” He grunted out an order, sending shivers down my spine as he slammed into me like a beast. “Look into my eyes, mate!” Another order came and this time, I obeyed him even though it was hard to fight against the need to let my eyes roll to the back of my skull while he tore me apart with every thrust. I looked into the mesmerizing gray pair of eyes that I had come to love. I felt every part of him sinking into me roughly and pleasure and pain accompanied each thrust. For some minutes, the pleasure outweighed the pain but my body still recognized the pain my mate… the man I loved with every bone in my body was causing me while he chased after his pleasure. Despite the dull discomfort between my legs, I still found myself moaning when my mate drove himself into me the minute our gazes locked, “Alpha.” I itched to cry out his name. I wished I could give in to my desire, let my fingers sink into his dirty blond hair, and guide his head downwards until our lips
AURELIA~~I have always known no one in the pack respected me as their Luna but until now, no one except Nina had the guts to disrespect me to my face. They usually murmured and laughed at me behind my back but they wouldn't dare lay their hands on me.But that changed the minute Nina gave the warriors an order that I didn't know would change my life forever… “What are you doing? You can’t do this!” I yelled, struggling to free myself from the stronghold of the warriors whose hands were crushing my shoulder as they attempted to yank me out of the kitchen.My struggles were futile, of course. I was pulled out of the kitchen like a lightweight paper by the warriors despite my screams of protest. “What are you planning to do with me?” Are they kidnapping me, I asked myself but quickly blurted another question. “What gives you the right to touch me? I belong to the Alpha and he would have your head for ever laying your hands on me!” Nina laughed hysterically. She told the warriors
AURELIA~~It was her. I knew her. Although I was yet to see her face as she was cooped up in my mate's arms and her back was to me while her face was getting loved on by the man that was supposed to be mine– by the man who didn’t give me as little as a peck on the cheek despite being married and mated to him for the past three years. First time in my mate’s office and this was what I saw? Huh? The familiar shiny long blond hair was enough to let my crashing self know that the woman in my mate’s arms was no other than Princess Larisa Wellington, his ex-girlfriend. My lips trembled, my entire body shook as every part of my already shattered heart broke into tiny pieces and my puffy eyes were filled with hot tears once again. I wasn’t usually a crybaby even though everyone around thought so but how do I stop crying when I was witnessing the end of my life? Heck! He had never kissed me. I had never gotten the opportunity to be kissed by him… by anyone at that. Yet, he was kissi
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I could feel rage still boiling inside of me even though several hours had passed since the woman I was forced to marry and mate with tried to sever the same bond that I sacrificed my happiness to create. The nerve of her! Who does she think she is? Some goddess in charge? Tsk… My eyes caught the dark sky of the night as I emptied another shot of the strongest tequila in my bar, kinda hoping that it would kill my anger and stabilize my spiraling emotions but drinking didn’t help me. Within a few minutes, I was drunk yet I didn't stop drinking. “Why am I still sensing anger from you, Raid.” The soothing voice of the woman my heart beat for, echoed through the bar and my eyes eagerly searched for the beauty of her face. “Don’t tell me you are drunk because of her.” I couldn’t stop myself from smiling sheepishly when Larisa’s face popped before mine. She left to meet up with her old friends a few hours after the woman I was forced to marry vexed me. I might be dr
AURELIA~~“No”I let out that word despite knowing that it would only fuel Alpha Raiden’s anger. He could get angry but I had the right to say no to him. I was done with him. I was done giving him every part of me without asking for parts of him in return. I was done loving him with all of me even though my heart was kicking against the idea of that. “What was that, mate?” Alpha Raiden asked, his voice low and challenging. I inhaled sharply, finding it hard to repeat that single word. I averted my eyes and took steps away from him and the bed. He shouldn’t be able to keep me around while he wants another woman– but he could do that. He was the Alpha. He could have his cake and eat it. “Do you need me to repeat myself, woman!” Alpha Raiden growled impatiently and I nearly jumped out of my own skin as he pumped fear into my bloodstream. He started peeling his shirt off without caring about me and angrily, he hissed, his eyes burning holes into my face, “Strip this instance!”Th
AURELIA~~The next few days went in a blur. Much to my relief and dismay, Alpha Raiden stopped coming to the room. He hasn’t been here for the past two nights. He didn't let me leave the sex room and I also didn't know what was going on out there in the pack. I also didn’t have the energy to do anything more than shower in the adjoining bathroom and wrap myself in the sheets that still smell like Alpha Raiden and I. I was crazy for and about him. As stupid as that might sound. Usually, my meals were delivered to me by servants who would push my tray of almost disgusting food through the space that I woke up to find underneath the door. The space was just big enough to let the tray in and out of the room. Clearly, I had been living the life of a prisoner yet I dared not reject Alpha Raiden and free myself from the torment he was putting me through. The fear of what he was capable of doing to me if I tried to reject him again kept getting in the way… or maybe I was too scared of
AURELIA~~I lay in bed… in agony. My eyes were swollen and my body burning from the intense and unbearable pain that I had to endure all through the night. It was a new day – the day Larisa would be crowned Luna of the Dark Moon pack. The day I would be dethroned and publicly insulted. Perhaps I should be out there fighting for my title and my mate but I was still suffering from all she and Alpha Raiden spent the night doing. I felt it all this time. Maybe it was because Larisa already told me about their steamy moments, I couldn't tell but I felt the effect of every thrust, touch, and kiss that my mate pleased Larisa with over the night. For some reason, the bond carried Alpha Raiden’s betrayal to me.I lay in bed lifelessly. “Please take my soul now, Moon Goddess. Let me die now. I can’t take this anymore.” I thought to myself, hoping that the moon goddess would hear my internal cry as I couldn’t part my lips to speak. I just wanted to die. If I died, everyone would get t
AURELIA ~~ I couldn’t remember the last time I was this happy. No! No, I actually do. The last time I was exceedingly happy was the day I found out that the charming Alpha Prince who had saved me from bullies countless times was my destined mate. Gosh, I was so happy. I foolishly believed that he would be good to me and that we would have a great family. That was the last time I felt real happiness. And to be honest, even right now, I felt something more than happiness. I felt fear. Fear for the life of my child if anyone finds out that I am pregnant. Larisa would have me killed and from his past reactions to me, Alpha Raiden would definitely get rid of my child and me just so he could have a clear path back to his lover. I gasped, “I need to get out of here. I need to go far away from all of them.” In haste, I tried to push myself off the bed but I failed miserably, falling right back on the bed when the pain I had forgotten seized my body again. “Aahh…” I cried out
ALPHA PRINCE KYLE~~“Alpha Prince Kyle!” It wasn’t until her words hit my eardrums that I realized that I should have insisted on taking one of the cars that had been sitting in our garage for years. We rarely use them, but this would have been a good time to just drive right past Camila, who was already running over to me with a very familiar young boy right behind her.He was like her guard, and maybe I would have felt jealousy if the young boy wasn’t my brother, Ronald. He and Camila are friends even though she was a year younger than she was. I never understood how Camila and Ronald managed to bond despite their differences. Ronald liked playing on the field, and I had never seen him read a book if it wasn’t made compulsory in his academy. But somehow, they found a way to be friends. “Hello, brother.” Ronald nodded curtly, and I knew he was about to tell me not to take Camila away so he could run around with her. “Can you please not talk about books right now? I want my frie
Alpha Prince Kyle ~~Oh, dear goddess!Shopping?What was he? An attention-seeking princess? Even if he were, I still wouldn’t go shopping with him. He should ask Katie and Elora–I ceased thinking in that minute as my eyes fell on Katie’s pale face. I didn’t need to be a mind reader to know she was thinking about how I would reject her mate without thinking twice. After all, she knew that I wouldn’t go shopping with anyone. My clothes and shoes get delivered to my room after I place orders online, and most likely, Ma does the shopping for me. I was a proud mama’s boy.But in that instant, I knew I couldn’t ruin this for Katie. I wouldn’t want to make her worry about me after I shut her mate down just because he mentioned shopping. “Goddess, I hate this.” Rio clamored, protesting within me as soon as he felt one of my core resolves faltering. I said to my wolf, my gaze shifting from Katie’s pale face to Davien’s bright one—he was so clueless, “I hate this too, but look at those
Princess Katie Anne~~My heart went out to Kyle, and I knew it wouldn’t be easy to stay away from Camila, but I also knew Kyle would do everything to make sure he did. This was me helping him and also getting my way. No one said I couldn’t kill two birds with one stone. I have done that many times in the past. “So this is it.” I chimed with a smile, knowing that Davien and Kyle were anxiously waiting to hear me out. The suspense was killing them, but I was enjoying this. “I have come to understand that you both need each other and the good news I have is to help you both bond better–” “Why do I have to bond with him?” Davien was quick to mutter, looking down at me. I mean that literally because he was taller than me.I made use of my famous pout that had worked on all the men in my life, starting with my dad and ending with Kennedy. “Because he is my brother, Davien.” Davien stared at me for the longest minute before he sighed defeatedly. “Fine.” The power of my pout. I didn’
DAVIEN~~“You are a long way from home.”The former Beta of my birth pack, Louis, who, despite living away from home for over a decade, remains a legend. Stories about him and Alpha Tristan have been told over and over again, and I have seen my dad trying so hard to fit into the enormous shoes that this duo left behind.To the rest of the realm, Alpha Tristan was the villain who stood with the witch Larisa, and Beta Louis was a betrayal, but somehow, the people of Black Fur had moved past that and have come to respect them, especially Beta Louis, because he restored our home and dignity and gave up control of the pack so we could start afresh.Maybe he wouldn’t have done that if he knew that the so-called fresh start would be my dad—I mean, he was lacking in so many ways, and someday, the rest of the realm would know this fact.“You’ve been away from home for many years.” I countered as Louis and I walked toward the shade in the arena.For hours, he had been showing me how to find
Alpha Prince Kyle’s POV~~ Anger wasn’t the first emotion that I thought I would feel when Katie finally used her hidden abilities; neither did I think disappointment would be my second emotion in this situation. Heck! I should be happy right now and celebrating with my sister, but how could she read my thoughts when she knew I always dropped my guard around her? Before now, she was the only normal person in my family, but I guess unlocking her powers meant she would no longer be like me—the plain normal one.I was alone.“Will you just stop it? You aren’t alone, Kyle. I will always be here for you and with you.” Katie countered, doing the same thing again. “What part of Leave Me Alone did you not hear?” I spat, unable to control my emotions, which had been spiraling since I perceived Camila as my mate in the library. ”If you are going to invade my mind, please leave. I don’t have the strength to put up a wall right now.”At this point, living within these walls and with these pe
Princess Katie Anne~~My twin brother has always been afraid of the dark. To be honest, I couldn't recall when that fear began, but I knew it had something to do with Larisa—the crazy woman who almost tore our family apart. The details are blurry in my mind, but I remember that she kidnapped Kyle at some point, and even though my parents lied to me about Kyle’s whereabouts, as I grew up, I realized the truth. However, Kyle and I never spoke about that day, despite how many times he had been haunted in his sleep.Our parents don't know about Kyle’s nightmares because he didn't want them to worry, but I knew, and that’s the reason I wasn’t surprised that Davien found Kyle in my bed that morning.What surprised me was finding Kyle in the darkness that his room had become. I was the dark princess with a dark-themed room, while Kyle made sure his room had enough space and light. So this was new.And so was the strong smell of alcohol that invaded my nostrils as I stepped into my brother
Princess Katie Anne~~“Today will be easy because you are just recovering. If you didn't have to begin spiritual training immediately, I wouldn't have asked you to join us.”My mom had said it was time, confirming that today would simply be a preview, but that didn’t make it easier. At some point, I found myself asking, “Why do I have to train spiritually, Mom? What if I don’t have the skills?”“You have abilities, Katie. How else would you have predicted the sex of your brothers? How else would you have been able to create such a strong bond with Dolf? How else would you have a pure white wolf who radiates pure energy?”My mom retorted, pointing out some of the exceptional things I had done when I was younger. She even added, “The only reason you aren’t skilled when it comes to your abilities is because you didn’t start training early. You were obsessed with training physically. Plus, I didn’t know how to be a mother to a young girl who could be just like me or completely differen
Princess Katie Anne~~If there was any place I felt confident and powerful, it would be in the training arena or any training field where I could demonstrate myself freely. Although the last war recorded in the history of the realm was the one my mom fought with Larisa, the dark witch, and also Alpha Tristan, someone I once loved, I have been decorated as the best female warrior after my mom.Also, I participated in the Quinquennial Pack Games, where I won many awards and, with the help of other warriors in the pack, brought the trophy home for my pack. I have participated twice: when I was ten and when I was fifteen. The goddess knew I had been looking forward to the next one.“I don’t understand why anyone would choose violence over fighting with spiritual strength," Zuri clamored within me as soon as I stepped into the arena.Of course, she could feel the excitement flowing through me, and as her words resonated in my head, I rolled my eyes. I was about to respond, but Zoe beat
DAVIEN~~The day had just begun, and I was already unsure of how the rest of the day would turn out. Waking up to find Alpha Prince Kyle in my mate’s bed was only one of the unexpected surprises, and I must confess that feeling Katie’s lips on mine was my favorite unexpected incident.Her lips molded against mine like they were my long-lost piece. Instantly, my lungs gave way to a deep groan, and my hands itched to touch this bold woman. I had never felt like this with any woman.If I were being honest, I would say I had never kissed a woman before.Yes, this was my first kiss, and as Katie pressed her lips against mine, I feared she would discover that I was inexperienced. Would I be seen as man enough if I didn’t live up to her sexual expectations?What are her expectations, and on what experiences are they based?Could she have—Focus, Davien!I scolded myself. A first kiss should be memorable, so I should burn this moment into my memory.Slowly, I let my hands sneak all the way
