Estelle POVWe walked to the front of the pack house, and everyone was there. They were all murmuring between themselves, and when they saw Aurelian, they stopped murmuring, looking at him in fear and curiosity. Who would have thought they were such obedient and respectful people? Well, definitely not me.“Good morning, Lexxy Pack,” Aurelian said, and they all stood, paying attention.“I will make this brief, as you might have heard some packs have been attacked, and we are here to help the best way we can,” he said, allowing him to digest them.“Now, to help this work, you all are free to go about your day with no limitations and have fun, but if any of you see anything suspicious, please inform your alpha or my guards, who are all going to blend around you,” he said, gesturing to the guards.“The number rule of me being here is to not tell anyone outside the pack of our arrival,” he said, command flowing through his voice. They all bowed their heads in respect. I tune them out, smir

Estelle POVI looked up at Bryan, wondering what he wanted to talk about now. I sighed.“Okay,” I said, standing up. He walked away while I followed him. We got to a quiet place where we could talk privately. I looked at the men training from afar, and the silence was awkward.“You look good,” he said. I looked at him.“Is that why you dragged me here?” I asked. He smiled.“I’m happy you haven’t changed, but then again, you’ve changed a bit. You look happier, healthy, and powerful; you blend with the Lycans well,” he said. Well, technically, I am Lycan too, but that is a story for another day. I gave him a long look, folding my arms. He breathed out, looking at the men's training.“Natalie is pregnant,” he said. I smiled; at least something good was coming out of her.“That is good; congratulations,” I said, smiling. He shook his head.“I don’t know if it’s mine, and she doesn’t want to keep it,” he said. I frowned. I didn’t want to include myself in their business, but if Natalie was

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 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 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
