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
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
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
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
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
Five years agoRed POV“That’s enough training for today,” my mother said, walking towards us. We were in the woods, training as usual.“I finally got it, mom; I crossed over that big log,” I said, jumping happily. She smiled, her brown eyes staring at me.“Well, my daughter is so strong, just like her mama,” she said, rubbing my cheeks. Tomorrow is my 13th birthday. I will be shifting to my wolf, and dad said I could finally start training. I had to beg him for weeks before he allowed me to do anything, and now I am not even learning combat yet; I am just doing some press-ups, running around the field, lifting tires, and jumping logs that keep moving. It was the hardest.“Let’s go inside,” she said, taking my hand. We walked back to the pack house, and I kept skipping happily in the middle of my parents. My parents are just ordinary pack members; we don’t stay at the pack house; we live almost in the woods. There are other houses here too, but they are separate from each other. We go
Five Years LaterRed POV“If you keep throwing punches like that, we are going to sleep here,” I snapped at the ladies. Well, we are on the training ground, and as the top female warrior of this pack, I am in charge of training the ladies as part of my duties, but these ladies are so slow as usual. I sighed, burning her hand with my fire. She screamed, holding her hand.“If you don’t listen, there are more of where that comes from. Now I want to see the power, the strength; fight your opponent like she is your enemy; I don’t want any slackers; if you slack, run around the field 10 times, and you have no choice but to do it,” I snapped, and they flinched. Well, I have changed a lot since what Bryan did to me. That day, rogues attacked the pack, and out of anger, I burned them all down. Alpha had to tie me down in the dungeon for three days to keep me from killing any pack members. After I calmed down, the pack became wary of me, and everyone avoided me like a plague.Bryan tried to tal
Red POV I walked down the pack house heading to the car. I already packed my stuff yesterday and the guards from the palace took it immediately. I have spent the remaining of my time sleeping and doing nothing.“You packed all your loads. It’s almost like you are moving away,” Bryan said from behind me. I stopped in my tracks, turning around.“Who knows? The king might actually fall in love with my dumped ass,” I said, shrugging my shoulders. He licked his lips. I looked at his face, pale skin. He is not that tall, he is not muscular, his hair is long and curly, none of his facial features stood out, boring brown eyes, straight nose, freckles, and normal shaped lips. What did I ever see of him? He is not even my type.“Beauty is really in the eyes of the beholder,” I said, after giving him a long look. He sighed.“I know I fucked us up and I reg…” I cut him off.“You didn’t fuck us up. You helped me realize my potential. You helped me know my worth,” I said. He gave me a soft look, d
