5 YEARS LATER (RILEY) AURORA "When a rogue attacks, grab its hindlimbs like this." I bent down tactfully, making sure the children could see me. I grabbed the hindlimbs of the huge toy wolf I was using in educating them and threw it to the ground. “Now try doing that,” I urged them. I stood and watched the pups play with the toy wolves that had been assigned to them for this training. To help out the pack, I had taken the position of training the young ones. Here, it was essential for the youngest pup to know how to defend themselves in case of any attacks. After coming to the Night Bloomers pack, I realized that my pack had been doing a lot of things wrongly. The way they organized everything, down to the love they share with each other was one I have never seen in any pack. Though my pack lived in harmony, we still had wolves who were at loggerheads with each other like Natalia and I. But here, there was no such thing, everyone loved and treated each other with so much care.
RALPH It has been five years since Aurora left my life, five whole years of venting out my anger on my men for letting her get away and ruining the big plan I had mapped out. If she hadn't escaped, I would have taken over her father's pack, and that loser, Brian’s pack by now. I could recall getting home that day and hearing of her breakout. It made me rummage through the woods but it was as if she disappeared into thin air. There were scents of rogues everywhere and finding the dead bodies of some rogues didn't make it better, as all rogues had the same scent, including Aurora. Moving on since those years and trying to come up with other strategies to accomplish my goals whilst still looking for her, became my daily goal. Lisbeth, my chosen Luna, stayed next to me all through that period, sweet talking and offering me sexual pleasure. I thought I was happy with her and that we were made to be together until I found her wrapped up in another man’s arms, not just any man but one of th
RILEY (AURORA) “We’ve succeeded in taking over the eastern and western parts of Ralph’s pack. I wonder how he is feeling now?” Alpha Brian mumbled to my hearing. It was late at night and I was seated next to him in his study going through a map of the entire layout of Ralph’s pack. Of course, the map was provided by me. I was opportune to tour the Hellhounds pack repeatedly back then, that was before everything went south. Back when I thought that bastard was in love with me. Back when I allowed him to creep his way into my heart. Even though I regretted being with him, I was still thankful for a few things, one being him spending his time touring me around his pack, never did I know that it would come in handy right now. With my advice and strategies, Alpha Brian had succeeded in taking over a part of his pack that was stolen by Ralph. I badly wanted to see the look of defeat on Ralph’s face, I wanted to jeer at him and tell him that more was coming his way, but sadly I couldn't. “
RILEY (AURORA) “Stay away from Brian, you lose bitch from nowhere!” Sierra yelled, glaring daggers at me. My eyes went down to my little bundle of joy in my arms who was now wide awake and staring at Sierra and me, probably wondering why she was yelling. Yeah, it is true that most people didn't like our presence here. The pack was homogenous and I think my son and I are the first outsiders to be allowed to settle in here. Our presence made a few pack members who knew about us uneasy but Sierra was never one of them. Up until a few months ago, she was really sweet and would always offer to help me out with things. But then the moment Brian let me handle the affairs regarding the Hellhounds pack, she changed drastically and never tried to associate with me, instead she took to making the few people that know about my existence here, despise me. “I don't know where you came from, Riley. But I'm telling you, whatever agenda you have that brought you here won't work. You already have a
RILEY (AURORA) Throughout the remaining part of the night, I wasn't able to sleep a wink. I was worried for a lot of reasons. “What if someone here recognized me? What if Dad pastes a photo of me everywhere and Brian happens to see it?” All these didn't let me shut my eyes the entire night. By the time I eventually dozed off, it was already way past five in the morning. But then it seemed like the moon goddess was against me sleeping as the moment I shut my eyes, a loud banging was heard on my door. “I'll go get the door,” a sleepy Jasper mumbled. “I'll get it. Go back to sleep, it's still 6 am. The pack school starts at 9,” I coaxed him. Rising from the bed, I walked over to the door to find out who was trying to pull it down so early in the morning. Upon getting there, it turned out to be the pack warriors. My heart skipped several beats. “Have I been discovered? Is this the end for me? Has Brian seen a photo of me? Did he find out my real identity?” “Wh..why are you here?”
RALPH Seraphina’s words wouldn't stop haunting me. I couldn't believe that I fell for a silly spell. For fuck’s sake I'm an Alpha and had been through worse, how could a second hand spell from some unknown witch affect and make me fuck things up this way. “You trusted and let down your guard, that's your only mistake,” Seraphina had said. Perhaps, that was true as I've known Lisbeth my whole life. We grew up together and thought we’d end up as mates, but that didn't work out after I found Aurora to be my mate. Imagine how heartbroken we were and then when the pressure to mate and attain my full potential came, I had to approach her after watching her from afar. My initial intention was to mate her and use her as a link to penetrate her Pack as her father and I have had issues for years. After approaching and secretly spending time with her, my initial impression of her as a rude and spoiled princess changed. I found her to be a very sweet and easygoing person. Slowly, I began to loo
RALPH “I'm going to find my mate myself.” Blocking the mindlink and taking a step away from the duo that had their heads bowed the entire time. I turned around and headed back in the direction of my mansion, but then something flashed into my mind, making me turn back again “No member of this pack is allowed to partake in hunting the Riverbells princess. Faking her death comes with a death penalty, return to your homes and spread this word to everyone. The both of you would be held accountable if anyone from this pack engages in finding her.'' The duo bowed and scampered for safety, nearly trampling on each other. I continued my journey back to the mansion, completely irked. Adrian's words irked me so much that if he had been close to me at the moment I would have definitely lashed out on him. Yeah, it is true that he meant well and had the best interest of the pack as his top priority, but then, why must it be at the expense of my mate’s happiness? Yes, I’ve been foolish in the pas
RILEY(AURORA) Alpha Brian never let go of my arm, he pulled me along with him from the private grounds and into the mansion. Everyone present gave us weird looks. After coming to the Night Bloomers Pack, I found out a lot of things, things that weren't regarded as anything back in my pack actually meant a lot here, Brian holding me and pulling me away with him while keeping a frowned face had its meaning. It was only one's mate that could act like this with her. Murmurs and whispers filled everywhere we passed. “Will she be our Luna?” “I told you that little boy is the Alpha's son, can't you see. He is holding her hand.” “I wonder what she did, the Alpha is definitely taking her to his room.” “She is an outsider, I'd never agree to her becoming our Luna. Her being the Alpha’s advisor is already a slap in our face.” This particular comment caught my attention, I turned in the direction the voice had come from and there was Sierra’s personal maid, glaring viciously at me, next to he
