Estelle POV“She is right in front of you,” my aunt said, and we all turned to her with our mouths wide open. The room was silent, and the tension was high. None of us could find our tongues. Is this why she is so connected to the moon goddess? Know everything happening? There was no way I could have guessed.“What?” Angelica stutters after finding her tongue. Aunt smiled calmly.“This is not how I want everyone to find out, but you all would have known one day,” she said, breathing out. She looked at Angelica and gave her a really long look.“Well, she is in front of you, say what you want to say. Who knows? I might just get you married to him,” she said, and I looked at Angelica as she took a very deep breath, putting on a shaky smile.“Well, you created that rule, so it’s only fair I get married to him,” she said. Aunt hummed.“Why should I get you married to him?” she asked.“Because he is my betrothed,” she said, like she was stating the obvious.“I see. Well, where were you all
Estelle POV“I’m pregnant,” I said, his hand on my stomach. His eyes wide opened as he looked at me, trying to process what I just said. Minutes passed, and Aurelian was silent, no words coming from his mouth.“Aurelian,” I called, shaking him a bit. He moved back from me, running his hand through his head as he walked all around the room.“Aurelian,” I called again, as I couldn’t make anything of his reaction. Is he happy? Sad? Angry? What is going through his head? “You’re pregnant?” he asked, staring at me. I nod my head nervously, and he breathes out heavily, swallowing his spit. I come down from the bed and walk to him.“What is wrong with Aurelian?” I asked, my hands on his cheeks, but he held my wrist, breathing out.“This is not the time to be pregnant, Estelle. I have lost pups twice. We are in the middle of a war. How am I going to protect you and our pup from danger?” He asked, and I could finally see and feel his emotions. He was weak and scared; I could feel his fear. In
Estelle POV“I believe the Lycan king has accepted to go on the journey with us,” she asked.“Yes, I have,” he replied. She nods her head.“Okay, that’s good,” she said, getting comfortable.“You are right. There are spies in the palace working for your brother, although I can’t identify them because sometimes what we see is limited. They inform your brother of every move you both make, and right now, your brother wants her dead, pregnancy or no pregnancy,” she said, and I was not a bit surprised. He tried to do it once and killed me and my pup so he could do it again.“The child is going to be a hindrance, and if she loses this child, bad things will happen, so we can’t allow it,” she said.“Why are you helping us?” Aurelian asked. She smiled.“We can let go of our differences. Ophelia is running loose, and she has broken our law by touching dark magic, so we must get rid of her before she causes much harm. And finally, you wolves and Lycans play a big role in the supernatural world;
Estelle POVMe, Aurelian, Aunt Clara, and Rodney walked down the hallway to see the King and Queen of Which kingdom off, but in all reality, Aurelian and I walked behind them with our rode on while the clones walked with Aunt Clara and Rodney.“They really can’t see, hear, or feel us,” I said, holding his hand. “Yes, the power of a witch,” Aurelian replied, smiling down at me. I smiled, putting a bit of my weight on him. We got to the front of the palace, where the royal carriages were waiting for us.“Why are there two carriages?” I asked, confused. We are supposed to ride with the king and queen, but now there are two carriages.“It’s okay; the king and queen arranged it with their trusted people; nobody can see them except us and them,” he said. I nodded my head, watching the clones say their goodbyes to the king and queen. Aurelian took my hand, leading me to the carriage, and we took our seats. I looked out the window, watching them. When they were done, the king and queen enter
Estelle POV“This is going to be your quarters,” the queen said, standing in front of a closed door. I smiled politely.“Thank you, Queen Aurora,” Aurelian said, bowing his head a bit in respect, and she did the same.“The journey was a long one; it’s best we all take a good rest and start with the spell. I asked the maids to prepare what we are going to need already so the king and queen of the werewolf kingdom can quickly be on their way as there is a pending war approaching,” she said politely. I nod my head because I would really appreciate that. I don’t even want to stay long here. After what Aurelian said, my will to stay here has reduced, and I no longer feel safe. The feeling is back. I can’t tell what it is, but I feel worried. I took a deep breath, rubbing my stomach softly.“Thank you once again for your help, Queen Aurora. We will really appreciate it,” Aurelian said, while I just stood beside him, feeling weak in the knees. Queen Aurora smiled.“I will take my leave now i
Estelle POVThe breeze blew my hair roughly as I stood in a field. It looked like the one in the afterlife, but the difference was that this field felt more real; it didn’t feel dead; it felt like there were human beings here. “Where am I?” I asked myself, trying to tame my wild hair. I can’t even remember when last I let my hair down and free; my hair these days has been decorated with pins and rubber. But now my hair is down and wild, I wore a white silky gown. The material was thin, allowing the cold air to enter my skin. I shuddered, rubbing my hands together. Where am I? Where is this place? What am I doing here? I asked myself as I turned around in the empty field. There were people here; I could feel them, but I couldn’t see them. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Everything was in a tranquil as I tuned down the sound of the heavy breeze. I listened to the little sounds and the heartbeats of people around me. Their footsteps as they moved. “There are people here,” I m
Estelle POVAurelian and I walked down the hallway, following the guards. It was the next day, and we had had enough rest, so the king and queen had invited us for breakfast. After the breakfast, I hope we do what we came here for. I am in a hurry to leave the witch kingdom. The dreams have been reoccurring anytime I close my eyes to sleep, even if it’s a quick nap, and the worst part is that I can’t help but want to sleep. I still don’t get why I am having all these dreams, showing me different scenes of Kion just being a good brother to Aurelian, and now they are even grown up. I took a deep breath to gather my thoughts as we approached the king and queen seated at the table. “Good morning, king and queen of the werewolf kingdom,” Queen Aurora greeted us as we took our seats, bowing her head a little. “Good morning, king Titus and queen Aurora; thank you for having us today,” Aurelian said, also bowing his head a bit. Well, in the witch kingdom, women have more rights and authorit
Estelle POVAurelian speeds towards me, standing in front of me as he draws his sword. The queen was sitting calmly.“How dare you deceive us?” He asked slowly. Aurelian is much older than the queen and more powerful than her; they could match a bit in using their powers, but the queen won’t surrender just easily, and if we are in their territory, we would be at the losing end. I pat Aurelian back calmly.“Bring down your sword, Aurelian,” I said into the mate’s mind link.“No! She tried to harm you!” he growled. It was mostly his wolf talking.“Aurora calm his wolf while I calm him down,” I said, and I felt her moving around.“Aurelian, please drop your sword; let’s listen to what she has to say,” I said, patting his back. “No, she deceived us here; she is not to be trusted,” he said. “Please, Aurelian, put down your sword; we are not in our territory; if anything happens, we will be at the losing end; don’t put me and the pup at stake,” I said, rubbing my wrist in his nose so he c
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. “
