Aelin Novels & Stories

For Philip to request this, it means he broke some rules and couldn’t stay as the Blood Moon’s Alpha anymore. “Tell me. How can we defeat the Alpha King?” Philip looked behind and sent a signal. A few seconds later, a woman with blonde hair stepped out of the dark. It was Elaina. “Greetings, Elder. I am Elaina from Black Lake Pack. I am… the King’s mate,” Elaina said while trembling. “His mate? Really?”

I quickly step out to see a woman whose voice sounded awfully familiar, arguing with Delilah, the only model acquaintance I got along with because she was just as bitchy and spoilt as me. “You think I am a loser with no friends. Okay, first of all you couldn’t be more wrong, I have a lot of friends, Elizabeth, Victoria, Danika…..umm...my mother, my grandmother who, fun fact, knitted this sweater for me.” The woman said proudly as she gave Delilah what she thought was a savage reply. Yep, that’s Emily. Delilah just shook her head as she tried to process Emily’s personality, “What’s going on?” I intervene before the fight gets out of hand.

he added, resting his other hand on my hip. We danced under the candle chandelier; he twirled me away from him and lifted me up and back into his steel arms until the music finally came to a close. Everyone clapped, and I let out a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding when the prince released my hand from his gentle grip. I quickened my steps in search of Valerian. “Can we talk?” I heard Deucalion’s voice ask from behind me.

Everyone silenced as I growled. “Princess Aylin is an elementalist, I believe; she can be an excellent master after training.” I confirmed, and all elders nodded at each other with pride flashing over their faces. “As Princess Aylin gets better, we can finish the rituals of welcoming her as our luna.” Elder Noah announced, and the hall thundered in cheers. They were happy. The pack was going to have a real alpha and luna after more than a decade. Their happiness couldn’t hide in their chest.

But I followed him. I could not stay behind. Outside the gates stood a tall man with a thick skin and deep blue eyes. Alpha Kael. He looked even stronger than the last time I saw him. Alpha power was already smelling on his body and he was breathing like thunder. His eyes found me immediately right there as I got lost in thought. “Annie,” his voice cut across the room. “I have come for my mate and my pups.” The woods went silent for a while. I felt another kind of power as Damon touched me.

(Elara’s POV) The plane landed thousands of miles away, in the territory of the Crescent Moon Pack. I stepped out of the cabin, taking a deep breath of the crisp, clean air. There was no scent of Kaelen. Only the scent of freedom. A discreet black car was already waiting on the tarmac. The window rolled down, revealing a face that was lined with age but still undeniably elegant. It was Aline. The legendary Scent Healer, a master of her craft who had long since retired from the public eye—and Lyra’s closest friend.

A bird somewhere in the tree line begins a call and then stops, reconsidering. "What would you have named her?" Arden asks. He asks it the way he asks things that matter: directly, without embellishment. "I have thought about that," Ressa says. "For thirty-five years. In my own mind I called her Aelin. In the old pack language it means little light. Because she came from Lian, and Lian had the light, and I think the child would have had it too." "Aelin," Arden says. He holds the name in his mouth for a moment. "That is right."

“You think I’m falling apart. That is why you want me to be close.” Evelyn’s expression softened. “I think you’re holding yourself together with nothing but willpower. And I know that can only last so long. I want you to be close, and it her right to grow within her father’s home. She is the daughter of the Alpha, and I think you know what that means, Sienna.”

And then. Haden let out a low murmur before pulling her in closer to him, "You," he said, "It's definitely you." She froze in his grasp, her eyes still wide, set firmly on Leo. "What's your name?" He asked but Lia didn't respond. "Lia Loren, age 17 from Triton," Leo said deeply, emotion practically undetectable in his tone but upon examining his face, I could see it deep and repressed. "The Alpha's sister..." Haden said, getting a proper look of her. "Nice to meet you, Lia. I'm Haden."
