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
Estelle POVI finished eating, and they were almost done with their food, so I figured its time to talk about my new discovery.“I had a talk with Bryan today, and weirdly enough, it looks like Natalie might be carrying Kion’s child,” I said, and Maven choked on her food.“What?” Aurelian asked.“Yes, what? Are you sure of what you are saying?” Maven asked. I explained everything Bryan told me, and Maven breathed out.“Wow, Kion really downgrades himself, Natalie, of all people? Why?” Maven said, shaking her head, confused and disappointed. Honestly, I feel the same way: an omega is way better compared to Natalie, way better than her.“Tell me about her, like her powers and everything you know,” Aurelian said. I sip my water.“Well, Natalie has always been powerful; she might be a bitch, but back then she was one of the most powerful pack things, and she knows how to wield her magic well,” I said, remembering when everyone loved her because she was powerful. She was very famous in sch
Estelle POVWe walked inside the quarters with Felix, heading to the dining room, and we sat down.“Adrain explained everything to me; how are you feeling, Estelle?” he asked. I shrugged my shoulders.“I don’t know,” I said. He sighed.“Did you gather anything?” Aurelian asked.“No, except something fishy going on between Adam and Yasmine; they talk in codes; sometimes I won’t see them, and when I do, Yasmine is all shaky; they are probably fucking, but if they are, there is nothing to be so secret about,” he said. Adam is weird; he is hiding something, and I don’t trust him.“We can’t trust them,” Aurelian said. I looked at him, shocked. I thought Adam was his person. He looked at me.“Being king means you can’t really trust people fully; they will always want your spot. So, of course, I don’t trust him; he could betray me anytime and any day, but let’s not be obvious; how come you didn’t get anything?” he asked.“The pack is mute; they are not saying anything like someone commanded
Estelle POVA shrill cry from my pup rang in the ward, and I breathed a sigh of relief, slumping on the bed.“It’s a boy!” Aunt Clara exclaimed, carrying him up. I looked at the boy with a head filled with black hair as he cried out loudly. “Bring him,” I said with a hoarse voice. Tears were running down my face as I sat up weakly. I have been in labour since the previous morning, and now it’s the next day and in the evening. The labour was extremely long; I was in serious pain, and the doctors were confused as the pup wasn’t coming out. Aurelian was chased out because he started panicking and screaming at the doctors, and he and his aunt had to take control of everything. After those long, painful hours, I felt happy as I finally settled into my arms.“It was worth it,” I cried, rubbing his head. He squirmed around in my arms, his eyes closed. Aunt Clara covered him up, and his cries gradually decreased. I smiled at his chubby cheeks and patiently waited for him to open his eyes.He
Aurelian POVWe stopped in front of a cave, and I kept standing here.“We have been riding for too long; what is going on?” Felix asked. I smiled.“I am waiting for Estelle to direct us,” I said.“Estelle, I thought you said you were going to keep her safe?” Aunt Clara asked.“Yes, but she can’t lie to me. I know she would be up to something; Estelle can’t just stay out of everything,” I said, coming down from the horse. I walked to the cave, and I felt the energy again—very dark energy.“The energy is dark,” Aunt Clara said. I nod my head.“This is where he is hiding,” I said.“We don’t have any witches to help us break it,” Rodney said. I smiled.“We wait for Estelle,” I said. I was worried about her, but on our journey here, I realised I shouldn’t have wanted to lock her up. I can’t shield her from this war; it is all about her and what Aurora has passed on to her. I was worried about our pup and her. I don’t want anything to happen to them, but I am happy she wants to do this as a
Third-person POVEstelle and Queen Aurora got to the front of the cave, and they stood there. Ophelia was still finding it hard to find Estelle; she had grown more worried and unsettled as the feeling increased. Kion has spent his time with his daughter, Maven, who has no idea what is happening around her. “Where is Aurelian?” Estelle whispered to Zira, who was on her horse beside her.“They are 30 minutes away from the second entrance; why did you make us stand here?” she asked. “I want him there earlier,” she answered, looking at the entrance. Just exactly how it was, but she could feel the energy coming from it; this is what Aurelian must have felt to know something was blocking him off.“Break it,” she said to Zira. Zira climbed down from her horse and walked to the entrance. Breeze blew them harshly as Zira brought her hand out to suck in the energy.“Wait,” Queen Aurora said from her horse coming down. Zira turned to her, confused.“There is dark energy sealing the spell; stan
Third-person POVHorses rode roughly as Aurelian led his troupe. His warriors and generals all follow behind him. The ground shook, and the branches on the trees all moved violently as the horses and sturdy legs collided with the soil. The smaller packs, aware of what was happening, stayed in their packs nervously as the king and his men passed. Everyone was nervous; families prayed to the moon goddess for their sons following the king’s army. It was finally time for war, which would determine a lot for the wolves and the world.“It’s nice to see you again, Queen Estelle.” Meanwhile, in another place stood Estelle and her troupe of warriors, which she arranged without her mate knowing. A black robe wrapped around her neck, her hair blowing gracefully behind her. She was dressed in a black jumpsuit with armour covering her arms, chest, and legs. They all can’t deny how strong her aura is; even Queen Aurora could feel it. Well, the night was dangerous, and Estelle wasn’t holding back he
Estelle POV“Everything is set; we move tomorrow night,” Aurelian said as we lay on the bed. “I thought you didn’t want me to know?” I asked. He breathed out.“Well, I don’t want you to know to protect you and our pup. Tomorrow you and Zira will be in the secret bunker; you two seem close these days, and she is a witch,” he said. I breathed out again. Well, it’s been a month, and Aurelian and his men found a loop for Kion, but it’s not really a loop. It’s a fake loop, Zira, and I put in to make them go to another place. We have set our motion in motion, and Aurelian doesn’t have any idea what I am doing. I just hope we come out victorious and everyone is safe.The past one month has been very hectic. I was bust just the same way Aurelian was busy, but he doesn’t know. It was hard doing some things without him knowing; I had to threaten a few people. I just hope everything really goes according to plan.“Can Zira break the man’s cave from inside? Just you know I aunt Clara can get to
Estelle POVI looked at the men training; they were training hard, their bodies drenched in sweat.“The king is not backing down; he is training these warriors hard,” Zira said, sitting beside me. I nod my head. I am actually surprised, but I shouldn’t be. He is the Lycan king and has been one for years; he has been to many battles and has won; this wasn’t his first time.“Nothing from Kion?” she asked, whispering very low. I shook my head. “I am a bit worried,” I said, smacking my lips. It has been 2 weeks, and I haven’t heard anything from him. Aurelian has refused to include me in anything concerning the war, but Adrain updates me. They have no idea where he is; they are trying to track him but always end up blocked. I know it’s because the beach is hidden, but I feel proud. They know Kion is near, but something is restricting them.Aurelian is really a great king, smart, calculative, and powerful. The best king the wolves could ever have. But I really don’t want this war. I feel
Estelle POVZira and I stood together as we watched Kion sleeping on the bed, comfortably and naked.“He is causing ruckus out there, but here he is sleeping like he is dreaming of angels,” I smeared, shaking my head in disappointment. Zira giggled.“The Lycan royalty are such a fine specimen; he looks like a god with that face and toned body,” Zira said dreamily. I don’t blame her; the three brothers are handsome with unique features; if only they were all on the same side, they would have been unstoppable. I sighed, twirling my hand, and Kion jumped up in shock as the steamy water hit his skin. He was about to yell out in anger, but I used my powers to seal his lips. He looked in our direction, and his eyes widen in shock and slight anger.“We won’t want to alert the guards outside,” I said, smiling. He growled.“What are you doing here, and how did you get here?” he snapped.“Well, I got here with the help of my friend here,” I said, gesturing at Zira.“Hi,” she said, waving. He gl
Estelle POVI walked down the hallway, looking for Felix. It’s been two weeks, and everything has been calm. I have been eating a lot, and I am slowly gaining weight. Aurelian has been busy; he is still on the edge, but it has reduced. He can’t be with me the whole day, but he checks up on me from time to time. I am tired of sitting around, so I am looking for Zira, but I have no idea where she is, and Felix’s mind link is blocked.“You are the queen and more powerful than him; break into his mind link,” Aurora said, rolling her eyes at me. Now, why didn’t I think of that? I stopped walking, focusing on Felix. His mind link was blocked, but I forced my way in.“Felix!” I screamed into his mind. I giggle, literally feeling him jump in fear.“What the fuck!” he screamed back at me. I rolled my eyes at him.“Where is Zira?” I asked. But he blocked me back. How dare he?“Felix!” I yelled, crossing my arms.“For fuck’s sake, Estelle!” he yelled.“Where is Zira? I need her,” I said.“Zira i
Estelle POVI slowly opened my eyes, and I was not in my room. Instead, I was in a field. Okay, seriously, I am tired of seeing this field, all familiar but at the same time different.“I’m sorry to bring you here, Queen Estelle,” the familiar voice said. I turned around, and Queen Aurora stood there, looking at me. I didn’t know if I should be angry or calm, so I looked at her without saying anything.“I know you have all the right to be angry with me, but I need to talk to you,” she said. “Why?” I asked. She breathed out.“I knew the Lycan King wouldn’t have listened to me if I had told him the dangers of what I was about to do,” she said.“So you decided to put your kingdom at risk?” I asked. She smiled.“I don’t mind if the king wants to go to war with us; we would fight back, but first let Kion be out of the way,” she said. I smiled.“You are awfully brave, Queen Aurora,” I said. “We are not as weak, Queen Estelle,” she said formally.“Why have you brought me here?” I asked. “
