Estelle POVWe were back in the room, and Aurelian was not ready to sleep. We were lying down on the bed, and I faced the ceiling while he looked at me. All this time, I blamed him for what happened; I didn’t know he was just as innocent as me. I remembered when I rejected him. How angry and frustrated he must have been, but he didn’t know how to explain to me he was there. I blinked as Aurelian cleaned up the tears falling down the side of my eye.“Are you okay?” he asked worriedly. I looked at him as he looked all over me, wondering why I was crying, but I moved closer to him, burying my face in his chest as I cried out.“I’m sorry, Aurelian,” I cried. He wrapped his arms around me. He has been through so much suffering in silence; he must have thought I hated him; he must have thought he was cursed; he must have thought he doesn’t deserve a mate or pup. “Please don’t cry, Estelle,” he said. I looked up at him, and he looked hurt I was crying. I sniffed, placing my hand on his chee
Estelle POVAurelian and I walked down the field hand in hand. We didn’t exchange any words, but it was calm outside. The guards stared at me in horror, but I didn’t mind their stare; they would get used to it.“I have never seen your wolf,” Aurelian said. I smiled.“Yes, I was hiding it,” I replied. He looked down at me.“Why?” he asked.“She differs from most wolves,” I said. He hummed.“How different?” he asked.“Well, she is bigger than most alphas; she is pure white with red spots,” I said. My wolf is pretty; her eyes are bright blue with white fur and red spots blending with the white; she is unique like me.“Well, she sounds beautiful. I want to see her,” he said. I smiled.“How about we have a run in the woods?” I asked.“That would be nice,” he said, dragging me to the opposite side. I smiled, running with him.“Wow!” I yelled, surprised, as he carried me from the ground, placing me on his back. I smiled, holding him tight as he ran into the woods. The breeze blew in our face
Estelle POVWe walked back to the palace, hand in hand. We were in the evening, and we spent hours in the pond. We swam, shifted to our wolves, and ran around hunting together. It turns out my wolf was bigger than most wolves because I am not completely a wolf; I am part Lycan, and it shows in my wolf. Aurelian is bigger than me; it is very obvious, but he said my wolf and Maven wolf are around the same size, and if I got to her age, it would be bigger. What I heard about Lycans wolf is how I met Aurelian’s wolf. Aurelian’s wolf is huge and has muscles everywhere. His canine is fat and sharp, and they are very long. The wolf is pure black and honestly scary-looking. If I wasn’t his mate, I would piss myself, the way he was towering over me, huffing in my ears, and those jaws would snap me in half. He looked so scary, but he is my mate, so yes, I saw his soft side. He is a big baby, trying to catch me, holding my tail in between his mighty jaws, licking my face with his warm, long ton
Estelle POVI looked at Aurelian, and he has been in his thoughts for two days now. He doesn’t say much; he’s always lost in thoughts, and I know it’s because of his brother. I tried to talk to him, but he didn’t want to talk about it, and for two days, the tension has been high. I can’t take it anymore.“Aurelian,” I called, entering the room. He looked up from the bed.“Huh?” he asked. “We have to talk,” I said. He gave me attention, sitting up.“What happened?” he asked, clueless. I sighed, putting my hand on my waist. “We have a situation at hand, Aurelian; you can’t just be here thinking and shutting everyone out,” I said. He gave me a long look. “I was mourning,” he said. I looked at him, confused.“Who died?” I asked.“My brother,” he said, breathing out. I looked at him, speechless.“Aurelian,” I called. He smiled.“I felt guilty; I blamed myself for accusing him like the world did and didn’t listen, but I realised what happened shouldn’t be my fault; he chose that part; he
Estelle POVThe car passed through the borders, and I looked through the window, feeling nostalgic. I spent years on this ground, sneaking away, training, and trying to have fun and be happy. Aurelian held my hand, rubbing it. I never really talked about my life in the pack, but what is there to talk about? I saw the pack members, familiar faces; they were curious: who is this coming into the pack with convoys? The cars were packed in front of the pack house, and I sighed.“The pack is quite big,” Maven said. I nod my head. Well, we have land. The guards opened the door, and Maven came down first. I followed her, and Aurelian was next. I breathed in, taking in the familiar scent. I smiled.“Perfect,” I mumbled. Aurelian held my hand, and we walked to the front. The gate opened, revealing Alpha, Bryan, Natalie, Felix the Gamma, and a girl whose name I didn’t know. They looked at me, and I could see the shock on their faces. I know they must have thought I was dead. I looked at Natalie,
Estelle POVWe walked to the front of the pack house, and everyone was there. They were all murmuring between themselves, and when they saw Aurelian, they stopped murmuring, looking at him in fear and curiosity. Who would have thought they were such obedient and respectful people? Well, definitely not me.“Good morning, Lexxy Pack,” Aurelian said, and they all stood, paying attention.“I will make this brief, as you might have heard some packs have been attacked, and we are here to help the best way we can,” he said, allowing him to digest them.“Now, to help this work, you all are free to go about your day with no limitations and have fun, but if any of you see anything suspicious, please inform your alpha or my guards, who are all going to blend around you,” he said, gesturing to the guards.“The number rule of me being here is to not tell anyone outside the pack of our arrival,” he said, command flowing through his voice. They all bowed their heads in respect. I tune them out, smir
Estelle POVIt was the next day, and I left the quarters early, leaving for alpha study. I got there, and I knocked softly.“Come in,” he said from the inside. I opened the door, entering the study. I smiled; it still smells like roses. He said his mate smells like roses, so Alpha uses perfume, body lotion, hair cream, and everything that smells like roses. He doesn’t care if the rose is a feminine smell; he just missed his Luna, which I always find cute.“Red,” he said, smiling. I took my seat in front of him.“Estelle,” I said. He looked at me, confused.“Huh?” he asked.“My name is Estelle,” I said. “You finally told me your name, huh?” he said, smiling. I nodded my head, knowing he had asked me so many times, and I refused to tell him.“How have you been? The pack? Everything,” I said. He took a deep breath.“Well, after you left, the pack was quiet. This was the first time you were leaving for so long without coming back. People were beginning to ask questions and try to know wh
Estelle POVI looked up at Bryan, wondering what he wanted to talk about now. I sighed.“Okay,” I said, standing up. He walked away while I followed him. We got to a quiet place where we could talk privately. I looked at the men training from afar, and the silence was awkward.“You look good,” he said. I looked at him.“Is that why you dragged me here?” I asked. He smiled.“I’m happy you haven’t changed, but then again, you’ve changed a bit. You look happier, healthy, and powerful; you blend with the Lycans well,” he said. Well, technically, I am Lycan too, but that is a story for another day. I gave him a long look, folding my arms. He breathed out, looking at the men's training.“Natalie is pregnant,” he said. I smiled; at least something good was coming out of her.“That is good; congratulations,” I said, smiling. He shook his head.“I don’t know if it’s mine, and she doesn’t want to keep it,” he said. I frowned. I didn’t want to include myself in their business, but if Natalie was
