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 POVWe got to the hospital, entering her ward, and Natalie was alone, carrying her pups in her hands. She was crying, looking exhausted, but as we came in, she looked up. I noticed she no longer has that attitude she always puts up, and I didn’t know how to behave around her. I am not used to her not being mean.“Congratulations on your pups,” Aurelian said blankly because nobody was making an attempt to talk. She cleaned up her tears, smiling.“I’m sorry for calling you all, but I have something to say. I don’t know if it will help,” she said, her voice hoarse from all the screaming.“Tell us,” Aurelian said. He doesn’t even care as she just gave birth, but again, if only Natalie had pity for herself and respected herself as a woman, maybe he would have been a little kind to her.“Kion was the man who approached me with pictures of Red. He told me what to do, and I did it. He didn’t ask me if I wanted anything, and I didn’t ask him for anything; I just wanted to see Red miser
