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
Estelle POV“Is he sleeping?” Aurelian asked as I walked into our room. I smiled.“Yes,” I said.“Good, now I have you all to myself,” he said, pulling me to the bed. It’s been one week since Natalie died, and we buried her. Not even a single person in the pack attended. Even Alpha was so bored all through the process, but we were there to comfort Bryan, who cried all through with his son Damien in his arms. After the burial, we had to move Damien to the quarters because he cries sometimes when he is too far from his brother, so they stay together in the same room. I, along with Maven, have been taking care of Ajax while Bryan does everything in his power to stay away from Ajax while taking care of Damien.He has no choice but to take care of Ajax too, or even care for him a little, because Ajax is his son, whether he likes it or not, although not biologically because the test results came out and they had to separate fathers, but still, Ajax came out of Natalie, his mate. Nobody is i
Estelle POVI felt hands on my head, and I sleepily opened my eyes, and it was Aurelian. Immediately, I saw him, and my eyes opened.“You are back,” I said, trying to sit up. He sighed, nodding his head.“Where is Ajax?” he asked.“He is sleeping,” I said, looking outside. It is late at night.“What happened? You’ve been gone for three days,” I said.“The attack was to distract us; they took alpha Conrad,” he said. I gasped, sitting up.“They took him?” I asked, shocked.“Yes, gone. No scents, no trace—nothing was left to pick on and track him,” he said. My eyes watered, not alpha. “Just this evening, his body came. He looked like the bodies in the pictures,” he whispered, and tears fell down my eyes.“He is dead,” I said. He nods his head sadly. He wasn’t sad for Alpha, but for me. Alpha didn’t deserve to die this way; he wanted to be alive for his mate.“I feel terrible; we couldn’t protect him,” I cried. He hugged me close.“Don’t feel bad, Estelle; I am sure he was thankful for t
Estelle POV“What happened?” Aurelian asked as I was drenched in sweat. I breathed out repeatedly.“Kion,” I mumbled, looking up at him.“Kion, what did he do?” he asked. I shakily explained everything to him, and the more I explained, the more angry he got. He licked his lips.“Kion is really going far,” he said, but I was concerned.“What would happen if I fell for his tricks in the dream?” I asked. He looked at me, and he was looking more serious than ever.“Everything that happened wasn’t a dream, Estelle. Your body is here, but your soul is with him; everything he did is not a dream but a reality; it’s just a mind trick for you to give in to his demands,” he said. I was scared. I can’t have anything to do with Kion; it would kill me.“What do I do in Aurelian?” I asked, tears falling from my face.“Don’t worry; anytime you sleep, I will be with you. He can’t take you if you are with me,” he said, and I breathed out, relieved.“What do we do? Before he gets out of control,” I said
Estelle POVWe all looked at her, silent, shocked, and processing this newly acquired information.“What do you mean?” Aurelian asked after finding his tongue.“Her master sold Aurora to Adam,” she said. “How? When? Aurora never told me this,” Aurelian said, conflicted.“Aurora was a slave to her master, a personal slave, and also a favourite slave. One time, Adam came to meet her master and saw Aurora. Helpless and timid, he fell in love with Aurora and asked the master to sell her to him, but her master refused. After the master refused, Adam left but started seeing Aurora in secret. Aurora fell in love with Adam because of his kindness towards her, but Adam was just trying to get into her head. But it was too late; he was already in her head and wanted her to come with him. One day Aurora went to visit him in their secret hideout, and she met Adam with a slave. She screamed at him, hurt, but he had beaten her up and screamed at her,” she said, catching her breath.“Then Adam was o
Estelle POVWe stayed in the conference room in silence waiting for them, according to her they are close to the palace and we are just waiting. Honestly I am scared, I don’t know why she is smelling death but I don’t want anybody on this table to die. Right now my senses are high and alert. A soft knock brought me out of my thoughts, I looked at the door and a guard walked in followed by Adam and Yasmine. I looked at them, they seemed normal, Adam looked all quiet and composed as usual and Yasmine glared at me as she walked in. I guess things have not changed with her.“Good morning,” Adam said, bowing a bit. I was almost convinced everything Zira said was a lie. He is always composed, never showing his emotions, how did he stay beside Aurelian all these years knowing in his heart he doesn’t like him and he wanted him out of his throne. How could he pretend that much?“Good morning Adam, please have a seat,” Aurelian said, calmly and gently and they both took their seats.“You didn’t
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. “
