AURELIA

~<>~

I would have argued confidently if anyone had told me I would be relieved to step into Dark Moon Pack after I vouch never to return and this is not just because the pack is better.

It’s the atmosphere… it’s so much better and something about the change made me feel at ease.

We have been here for two days and the white wolves are settling into their apartment building. For some of the younger ones who were born and raised in the hidden pack, having to live in a proper building with proper toilets and other necessary amenities seemed surreal but they have been adapting.

The twins and I have spent most of our time in the white wolves building, helping them settle. Iris was also devoted to that mission and a few of the members of Dark Moon Pack have visited the building to welcome the white wolves to their pack.

“It’s been going well if you ask me.” Inara chimed into my head as I listened to Mia Lu and Lori talk about how they needed to turn the nearest lake into the new

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~I knew she would be mad at me. I haven’t been communicating with her since we arrived and even though I noticed that she wasn’t in the mansion when I got home this morning for the first time since we arrived in the pack, I couldn’t approach her in the morning. There was something urgent that needed my attention. Being away from the pack for over a month was a good vacation but it did come with consequences that I had to deal with and that hasn’t been easy as I had to interrogate Jake in hopes of getting information from him. Anything that could help us prepare for the war.I haven’t slept in two days neither have I been around anyone other than Andrew, a few elders of my pack, and a very weak Jake. Andrew definitely knew how to make him suffer without killing him–“Why would you want to move in with us?” Aurelia asked softly, looking at the ground to hide her red cheeks from me. I shoved thoughts of the war and my piled-up assignment to the back of my mind and s

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~The next morning came with a feeling that I had never experienced before. I woke up with a big smile on my face and the smile became bigger when I opened my eyes and saw my kids, sleeping soundly on my chest. I didn’t know how I got to be in their middle but Katie was on one side and Kyle on the other. Their little fingers were on my heart and never have I felt so blessed. Aurelia wasn’t in the room when I woke up and my first instinct was to leave the bed and look for her but I allowed myself to enjoy the moment with my kids. I held them longer before leaving the room to find Aurelia by following her strong scent. Aurelia smells like a lot of things at the same time. She smelled like love. Like fresh flowers. Like a bowl of vanilla. Like home. Her scent had always had effects on me but now that I was no longer under the spell of you know who, I was beginning to appreciate everything about Aurelia more and her scent had become stronger since she started training

    AURELIA~~We met with Iris in the pack’s general dining hall where the pack usually comes together to dine on special occasions such as the arrival of other packs to participate in the games; the reason I returned to the pack in the first place. I thought I was stupid for coming here with my kids after a series of events. I thought I was better off staying in Black Fur but now I knew better. The moon goddess has a twisted way of making me suffer only to make me tougher and happier. I was happier now that I knew better, now that I knew who Tristan really was, and why my journey through life had to happen the way it did. I probably wouldn’t have tapped into my abilities If Larisa hadn’t bewitched my man and made me leave. I most likely wouldn’t have known why Raiden turned out to be a nightmare of a mate if I hadn’t returned to Dark Moon. Also, I wouldn’t be enlightened spiritually if my crazy journey didn’t lead me to the white wolves even though Larisa thought she had eliminate

    AURELIA~~The party started well and even though I was tired from planning all day, I was happy to be there. Organizing a party is just as stressful as training either physically or spiritually and for someone new to the task, I did well.Although I intended to learn from Iris not because I was certain Raiden and I would get to the level where I would have to take over and become his Luna fully but because I was willing to try and put all the effort into what Raiden and I were building.When the party started, the white wolves arrived together and they all chose to occupy the empty seats on the right side of the hall, leaving members of the Dark Moon Pack to sit on the other side. But after an hour of fun group games, the two parts were beginning to mix and relate. Raiden was sitting with me. Otis and Susanna were also at the same table with us. Andrew wasn’t here yet as he had to run an errand for Raiden and I had noticed the respectful manner Raiden’s pack members were treating m

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~Now this was unexpected.The tension between Otis and Andrew was thick enough to resist the sharpness of a sword. It was a miracle that the people were still having fun and relating well or maybe it was all thanks to the delicious meals that the servants served everyone. Aurelia’s magic, if I must say. “There’s no hope for these two. I thought they would be best of friends after the way they related with each other on the two occasions they met.” Lex said to me, keenly looking at Otis and Andrew through my eyes. Andrew and Otis really hit it off and I was scared they would one day gang up on me to pull my legs but now, with Susanna in the picture, that was no longer a possibility. Despite Aurelia’s absence, the party ended well. Aurelia didn’t return to the hall so I had to take the closing address alone before everyone returned to the homes. Otis tried to join the white wolves as they moved towards the exit. “Not you, Otis. we’ve to talk.” I said to him. Jerem

    AURELIA ~~ Susanna and I didn't make it to the bedroom after we left the party last night. Although Katie and Kyle didn't make it home at all. They followed Iris, spending the night with her in the white wolves’ building. I woke up that morning and wasn't surprised to see Susanna sleeping soundly on the second couch in the living room. I had spent the night on the biggest couch. Of course, neither of us had enough sleep since we were up most of the night, discussing Susanna’s situation. I could feel her dilemma in my bones like I was in her shoes. However, regardless of how short our night was, the second I woke up and realized it was morning, I moved over to Susanna, tapping her arm lightly. “Wake up, Suzy,” I called her softly. She grumbled, trying to shake me off, “I don't want to.” “Training starts soon, Suzy. We have to train.” I argued even though I wanted nothing more than to fall into bed. Susanna whined without opening her eyes, “I don't want to leave th

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~ I haven’t visited the apartment building the white wolves have been occupying since their arrival four days ago. I thought today would be a good day to visit them because Aurelia was going as well.“You are obsessed.” Lex mocked me.I corrected him with a smile on my face, “We are obsessed.”On a more serious note, I needed to be with the white wolves for the creation of the new purifying lake and also know why none of them showed up for physical training like we initially agreed before leaving the hidden pack. The smile on my face fell when we entered the general living room in what I would like to call the white wolves’ pack house and we found almost every one of them gathered to form a circle around someone who I not Aurelia could see from where we were standing. “What’s going on?” Aurelia asked with concern as she struggled to push past the people. No one seemed to notice Aurelia, hear her question, or acknowledge her struggles as they murmured, focused on w

    AURELIA ~~ Mia Lu was down. Before I left the white wolves’ building I got to see Lori dress Mia Lu up in the same flowing green dress that I saw in my vision and she was carried into her room which was decorated just like I saw in my vision. Nothing changed. The future I saw was already happening and nothing, not even a single detail, changed. That terrified me and even as I left the building after leaving my kids with Iris who said she would be staying there for a few days, I felt my heart racing as eight words kept flashing through my mind “The future is here and it’s not changing.” Those words reminded me of my goal. The need to change the future and now that Mia Lu was down, I wouldn’t know how soon the war I saw in my visions would break out. It could be tomorrow or the next week– Raien could die soon. Oh goddess, no! “What are we doing, Relia? We have to have a solid plan. We can’t keep going with the flow.” Inara was also panicking within me. We were both lost

    DAVIEN~~Disrespect from my family members was one thing, but getting the same from Cole, a man who was after my mate, was a whole different game, and my ego just wouldn’t have that. It was more than raging to think about Cole in the same space as Katie alone.Hell, it was a miracle that I didn’t go after Cole the second Katie told me about his visit. By miracle, I mean Katie’s reassuring words and magic touch. She calmed me down.But unfortunately for Cole, Katie wasn’t around to save him now, and the group of ladies around us just weren’t strong enough to get me off him—if they even cared.“My mate is off-limits!” I seethed, raising my tightly balled fist and forcing it down with a force that burst Cole’s lip on impact.Cole tried to fight back, but my second hand was holding him against the wet patio, and with Dolf’s strength pumping through my veins, he was no match for me.Cole proved to be the sneaky bastard we all knew him to be when he chose another method to fight me. He c

    DAVIEN~~Having that talk with Katie made me realize that the path I was supposed to walk was already in front of me. Or maybe I knew it was there, and I was just doubting whether I wanted to walk that path.But with Katie’s words and the fire I saw in her eyes when she told me she was willing to become the Luna of my birth pack, give up staying with her family, and stay here with me, I knew what I wanted for myself. For us.Not only did I get a clearer vision, but the path before me also became clearer.“We have to become the Alpha of Black Fur Pack and Katie the Luna,” Dolf said within me as I walked through the corridors the very next morning after planning how to beat my family in their selfish games, with the smart-ass woman that the goddess decided to bless me with.My wolf’s words were meant to be a reminder, even though he knew I didn’t forget that I had made up my mind to stand against my family for the first time in my life.I would become Alpha, and the plan to achieve t

    Princess Katie Anne~~Davien stared back at me like I had lost my mind, but soon, realization began to glint in his eyes. He went from angry to conflicted, and that broke my heart because I could tell that his family had once again gotten to him.“Oh,” he muttered, his shoulders falling.I stretched my hands to him, and he took them, joining me on the bed. I opened my mind to Dolf, asking him to create a mental link between Davien and me, even though a part of me wanted to keep the realization I had after Cole left to myself so I could protect my mate.“No, we have to tell him,” Zuri encouraged me.Zoe did the same when she said, “Yes. If we have been dancing to their tunes, it’s high time we changed the tune to ours and made them dance. We can’t do that without Davien.”I could feel Dolf agreeing with my wolves as he created the link between Davien and me. I then smiled at my mate, cupping his face as I sent words through the link: “He was glad we hadn’t marked each other. If only

    DAVIEN~~A waste of time.That’s what I would call this meeting with my dad. For goddess’ sake, we have been here for what? Almost an hour, yet all he has done is look down on me and try to intimidate me. He was beating around the bush.Even a blind man could see that.I could feel regret in my bones because staying with Katie, who needed me, would have been a better and more efficient way to spend the hour than sitting here listening to my dad.“That’s it. I am leaving,” I blurted, cutting my dad’s statement short.He grumbled, “But I am not done. Sit down.”“Done what exactly?” I seethed, seeing shock flash through his eyes for the millionth time. I would be stupid not to realize that he suspected I had a wolf now. “Reminding me that I am your unloved son isn’t doing it for me. If you don’t want me here or need my help, just let me know, and I will be out of your hair.”Damn! I just needed him to let me in on the plan. I needed something tangible to tell those who had trusted me…

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Why won’t anyone answer their damn phones?” I gritted, resisting the urge to throw my cellphone against the wall.Before I left home, we agreed that my family members would be accessible and that they would call me at least once every day, but even though this was my second morning in Black Fur, that agreement seemed to mean nothing.“There’s no special occasion. No ceremony or ritual that could have kept them busy since yesterday. I am beginning to worry,” Zuri said to me.However, I was too angry to be worried. I felt like my mom was screwing me because she already knew I would discover the truths she had tried hard to hide from me during my stay in Black Fur. Hell, I am certain she knew why I was trying to reach her.“Are they ignoring the calls intentionally?” Zoe queried, her confusion mixing with Zuri’s. “That’s far-fetched, Katie. We might have to be patient and—”A sharp knock on the door disrupted Zoe’s statement.I made the mistake of assuming that t

    DAVIEN~~Seeing Cole last night at the welcome party confirmed that my parents were trying their best to rile me up. The party wasn’t enjoyable for either Katie or me, but we didn’t leave until it ended. While I spent the entire night thinking about when my dad would tell me why he asked me to come home, Katie spent it wondering why no one from Dark Moon was answering the countless calls she put through.I could feel her troubled mind as if it were mine, and it pained me that all I could do was hold her.“You should talk to Jade. Perhaps she might be able to shed more light—” Dolf started, but he cut himself off and sighed. “Never mind. What she needed was to speak to her parents. She needs answers that Jade or anyone else can’t provide.“I still have to have a word with Jade. She shouldn’t have accused Katie like she did yesterday,” I said to Dolf, even though I agreed with his conclusion.Looking down at Katie’s restless face, I made up my mind to keep her far away from Cole, who

    Princess Katie Anne~~“I won’t let them treat you like this.”I seethed as the tension around us thickened, even though the crowd was still cheering. Davien’s hold around my waist became tighter, and I knew he didn’t want me to lash out, but I had had enough of this.How could they treat him like he didn’t exist, even in a ceremony? Amber had a seat to herself, and so did Damien, who wouldn’t stop staring at me like the creep he was. His parents also dared to flash those false smiles my way, walking over to clearly show me to my seat.“Thank you for joining us, Princess Katie,” Alpha Jarrett uttered with a light voice, and cheers echoed through the hall as members of the Black Fur Pack jubilated.However, I wasn’t merry like the rest of them, and with every second that passed, it became harder to pretend.“Please sit, Princess.” As expected, Luna Cynthia pointed at the only empty seat on the higher platform in the hall.Zoe barked within me, “The audacity!”My wolf’s anger only fuel

    DAVIEN~~“That can’t be,” Katie whispered as she staggered into the bedroom, her face pale and hands trembling.I picked up the bag Jade had dropped, followed Katie into our bedroom, and locked the door behind me.“She really is dead?” She asked me, horror etched into her stormy blue eyes.I nodded, shocked that Katie didn’t know that Aunt Jessica had died thirteen years ago. My mate collapsed on the bed, and I knelt before her, holding her hand and telling her to breathe.“To protect Katie and Kyle, Aurelia hid the news of Jessica’s death from them. I also don’t know the full story, but I am at fault because of the part I played. Larisa might have pulled the trigger that killed Jessica, but I put her in the position to get killed for my selfish desires,” Dolf said to me, taking on the blame even though we all knew he had nothing to do with everything that went down thirteen years ago.“You mean it’s all Tristan’s fault. You can’t take the blame, Dolf, and it wasn’t right for Jade

    Princess Katie Anne~~Davien and I woke up late in the afternoon. While Davien had more than enough reason to sleep for as long as we did, I didn’t have any because—“You have more than enough reasons, too, Katie. Have you forgotten what Davien did to you before you both slept?” Zoe asked before shoving explicit images of Davien fucking me into my mind as if I didn’t live that memory a few hours ago.I turned red and threw the covers over my face while Davien went to answer the door. Fortunately for whoever was at the door, Davien and I woke up before he or she could disrupt the peace we worked hard to achieve.I wouldn’t have forgiven the person at the door if they had woken Davien, regardless of the reason.“Hey, Jade. Why are you here?” The familiarity and affection in Davien’s voice didn’t go unnoticed.Zuri chimed through the mind link, “I thought he said he didn’t have a friend here? Who is Jade, and why does he smell as happy as he sounds?”Call me jealous, but I was out of
