How I want to be Aurelia right now. Haha. Thank you for reading. Love, Kiki.
ALPHA RAIDEN~~A smile stretched my face as I put the blanket over Aurelia’s naked body. I wiped her body with a wet towel and I intend to do the same with the couch we used in the living room, the bedroom door, and the floor before sleeping. I didn’t expect the night to turn out this good, not after Lex reminded me of the risk of marking Aurelia. However, If I were to die soon, tonight would be the best night of my life. I felt complete with the bond tingling within me. “We’re back,” Lex muttered into my foggy mind. Yes, Aurelia and I were back like never before. She was mine again and I would do everything to treat her like the queen she was. However, I still couldn’t make her mine, not fully. Doing that would make me a selfish mate. “If only we can complete the bond by marking her,” Lex complained within my mind despite the sexual satisfaction that was zapping through my veins. If only I wouldn’t die. I thought to myself, sighing as I left Aurelia’s side, ignoring the n
AURELIA~~I woke up to an empty bed… Or in other words, I woke up alone but sore which tells the tale of last night.If it wasn’t for the voices I heard in my sleep, I bet I would still be snoring and not realize that Raiden had left the room… “He must have woken up early. Perhaps he’s preparing breakfast.” I thought to myself as I got out of bed after noticing how cold Raiden’s side of the bed was. I walked to the closet, picked out a pair of shorts and a wine blouse, and rushed my naked ass to the bathroom as I could hear Katie and Kyle’s voices. Their giggles woke me up. I quickly washed my body, hating the fact that I wouldn’t smell like Raiden anymore afterward but I also didn’t want my kids to smell sex on me. I put on my clothes before moving to the living room where I found Maya, my kids, and Iris… that’s everyone but Raiden and my face kinda fell even though Katie and Kyle hugged me affectionately.“Where is he?” I asked, looking at Iris and Maya, expecting one of them
ALPHA RAIDEN~~I called everyone out, including the older kids. Seeing everyone like this makes me realize that I have many people to protect—a whole lot and the numbers just increased earlier today. As people settled in the Pack’s Square, I could see the white wolves, the Moon Stone members, and my pack members mixing. There was no segregation in any way and that was a good thing.When I sensed that everyone was here, I walked to the front of the crowd with Seth who had been up all night and day with me. Andrew joined us as I briefed him about what happened at the borders earlier this morning before I sent the general message out to everyone who I could reach through the mind link. Andrew had to inform the Moon Stone pack members and Susanna went to call on the White wolves. “It’s official.” I started with that staring at the confused and anxious faces of the crowd. “We are at war and I need everyone in this pack to know that.” The crowd began to murmur, the scent of their fe
AURELIA~~“I’m destined to die in war, Aurelia,” Raiden said clearly, his soul breaking as those words made the air around us thickened. He was already dying even before his supposed destined death. Since we were telling the truth, I breathed, “What makes you think I don’t know?” Raiden didn’t understand me at first. He shook his head, looking at everything but me as we stood still on a deserted path, “You don’t understand, Aurelia. I’m going to die. I saw it in my predicted future when Susanna read my memories–”“And I’m saying that I saw it in a vision that is more reliable than a Memory Reader’s predicted future. I saw it happen, Raiden.” I interrupted, explaining to him so he could understand me. Raiden’s eyes went from confused to shocked and then to hurt but eventually settled for pity. All of these emotions crossed his eyes within a minute as silence hung between us. “You knew?” Raiden asked with disbelief. I nodded, “Yes, I knew. I found out in the first vision that I
AURELIA~~“I can't do that.” I blurted before I could think about what effect my words would have on everyone in the room. And by everyone, I mean, Susanna, Seth, Andrew, Otis, and Benji who were officially announced as the Alpha of Moon Stone Pack yesterday evening after the funeral his people had in honor of their dead, Jeremy, Tamia, Lori, and, of course, Raiden —a man I have been aching to have within me for the past two days and nights. “Why not?” Jeremy asked me with respect but a hint of mockery.As an elder, he has been careful around me ever since Tamia made me the leader of the white wolves, a position with authority that I don't get to use often because I was still training to become a better leader. Perhaps I should rewind a little. Earlier this morning, Raiden came to the apartment to pick me up for an impromptu meeting he scheduled with the white wolves. Raiden has been sleeping in his office for the past two nights because he and I could be in the same room and
ALPHA RAIDEN~~Constantly, she willingly put her own life at risk. For goodness sake, she was a wolf not a cat with nine fucking lives. “Do I ever get a say in these crazy decisions that you make? You throw yourself under the bus, drain yourself and barely take care of yourself. What's wrong with you, Aurelia?” Was I angry? Hell yes! But was I more terrified than angry? Hell yes! The thought of her burning out like Tamia had warned her repeatedly scared me. The thought of losing her made my heart ache and she didn't seem to care about her life. “The twins need you. I need you. The pack needs you. Heck, the entire realm needs you to stay strong and alive.”Aurelia stood still, close to the but where she had been training tirelessly. She didn't react to my outburst. It was unlike her not to have a comeback especially when I doubted her decisions. She always had something to say.Until now. My will to make her hear me out this time faded when she saw her face… her eyes were shin
AURELIA~~I would recognize that betrayer anywhere. Although she looked a lot less like her pretty self and she had cut her hair, I recognized her immediately. Although she masked her scent, I perceived her fakeness from miles away. “How dare you show your face in my Pack!” I seethed, seeing nothing but red and that bitch’s face. This was the first time I would publicly call Dark Moon Pack ‘My pack’ but I couldn’t celebrate that milestone because I was seeing the face of a woman who I once trusted with everything, including my kids. “I knew you wouldn’t die like that. I knew you were alive.” Her voice which used to make me feel loved once, irritated me as I closed the distance between us both. I could see her fake tears brimming in the hazel eyes that I used to love as she asked, “Please tell me Katie and Kyle are fine as well. News has it that you all died in an accident and–” I reached the bitch before she could finish her fake ass sympathetic statement. My balled fist sma
LARISA’S POV ~~“Why are we still not attacking Dark Moon Pack?” I asked as I sat down on my throne. The pack elders were standing on one side and the most influential warriors were also in the hall, all looking at their toes. “Will someone please answer my question?” I asked firmly after about two minutes of silence from people I knew had been meeting every day for the past week. They have been meeting in secret.Most likely plotting against me.Louis stepped up to speak, “We haven’t been able to penetrate their border, Luna. We tried to send spies into the pack but they never made it past the borders even though Alpha Raiden has been allowing people from other packs into his pack.”I didn’t care about spies or cheap information that Louis believed we needed before we attacked Raiden’s pack. We were wasting precious time and the baby in my womb wouldn’t last forever before it wither away like a dead plant.I was at my peak, for goddess’s sake. Slowly, I muttered, “Didn’t you se
Princess Katie Anne~~“You are a healer, Katie. Please help Cole before you go.”Alpha Jarrett’s voice stopped me from following Davien, whose mixed feelings surged within me. All of this was a show, but Davien’s tense emotions weren’t, and I was genuinely worried about him.He needed me. I could lift his spirits if we celebrated this successful ruse together—without his family. But I had to stay back and maintain the facade. I rushed over to Cole, who couldn’t stand up straight due to a few broken ribs.But the pain from his broken ribs and swollen face wasn’t enough to keep Cole silent. Sadly.I resisted the urge to punch him when he began to speak. “You see what he did to me? He’s an insecure brat, Katie. You don’t deserve to be his ego booster every time he’s feeling down.”“Shut up, or I’ll walk away without healing you,” I seethed, holding his gaze so he’d see my seriousness reflected in my eyes.I hadn’t healed anyone before, but I could use the practice—especially on Cole—a
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
