The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Back Then



Aiden Pov Kayla had gone into the shower.

“Do you think she will want to stay here for long?” I asked Ethan.

“Well, she is our mate, so staying here makes sense,” Ethan says. I know he is right, but I can feel herself drawing away now and then as if she is lost in her thoughts.

“Her powers seem to be coming in quickly,” Ethan says.

“Yes, she sets herself on fire too easily; we have to get Aunt Serene or Cousin Bonnie to proof the room for her to keep it controlled,” I tell him. He nods in agreement. I think back to when we were 5 years old and had just discovered our lycan and travel abilities. Flashback POV (Aiden, 5 years old) My brother and I were chasing outside when, out of nowhere, I heard a crack. It came from Ethan. He dropped to the ground, and I heard him cry out in pain. I rushed over to him. I could feel some of his pain through our twin bond. Another crack sounded through the air.

“Mom, something is wrong… I linked to Mom before I felt my leg snap. I fell beside Ethan. We were both screaming in pain. Our heads were pounding.

Aiden tries to relax. I hear. I look over to Ethan, who is giving me the same painful, confused look.

Who are you? I’m your Lycan wolf. My name is Enzo. I remember mom teaching us about our Lycans and how we may end up shifting early. I just didn’t expect it to be now. I grab my brother’s hand, trying to block out the pain, as I see he must be talking to his wolf as well. I see my mom and dad running to us with Elle in her hands. Dad gets on the ground between us, talking, but I don’t focus on him. All I feel is the pain. My brother is a twin Lycan as well. His name is Jevon. He is your brother’s Lycan. I didn’t know Lycans had brothers. Yes. Now try not to focus on the pain. This is your first shift. The pain is great, but it will pass. Already, I could feel some of the pain dying down, and I could tell Aiden did as well. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the ground beneath me, the same thing my mother taught us. When I opened them, I was face-to-face with Ethan in his Lycan form. His lycan was pure black and rose to about 4 feet in height. Which is the same size as a regular adult wolf. I looked down, and instead of feet, there were paws, and I knew I shifted too. My Lycan was pure black as well. This was cool. As Lycans, we are faster than a speeding bullet. Your senses will be heightened once you return to human form. I turned to my mom, who had tears in her eyes and was immensely proud. It’s nice to see you again, mom. Mom’s wolf growled through her in a happy response.

Wait, how do you know, mom? It’s a long story, but in the short version, our mother’s lycan is one of the first lycans to walk on earth. Our lycan spirits were born from her, and my brother Jevon and I have been reincarnated through each twin reincarnation of your former lives. I remember our mother telling us about her being reincarnated as the moon goddess. I just didn’t know my brother, and I was also reincarnated with her. Yes. I have been your Lycan since I was created. I am honored to be back in service. Dad stood up.

“Your lycans are strong, my boys. I’m immensely proud of you,” dad tells us through the mindlink.

“Thanks, dad,” I replied. He walked us through shifting back, and Ethan and I were both in human form again.

“Now that you boys have shifted, you will end up sleeping as your bodies will be tired from the pain. I believe you will meet the moon goddess since she told me you would once you shift. You boys should both be on your best behavior.

“Yes, ma’am.” My brother and I spoke. I could feel myself getting sleepy. I saw my brother collapse, and I soon followed.

We woke up in a garden. The moon was full, and the stars were extremely bright. There was a forest farther away, and we heard howls.

“Are you okay?” I asked Ethan, and he nodded.

“Aiden, where are we?” he asked.

“You are in my realm.” We turned around and saw a woman who looked just like Mom., yet I knew she wasn’t. I could feel she was different. She was the moon goddess. My brother and I bowed.

“Welcome boys, I have been watching over you for many moons,” she tells us. We walked around the garden, asking questions and learning a lot about her realm and the spirits in the forest. We met our mother’s friend Marcus, and he told us stories of our mother when she was our age. We also met some of the kid spirits and our mother’s dad, whose uncle Lynx looked just like him. Not before long, though we had to go. The moon goddess told us it was not good to be away from our bodies for too long.

“You boys are very special,” she told us. You are the first male hybrids who not only hold a lycan wolf, but you carry my celestial energy.” “Use it wisely,” she says before touching our heads and sending us back to our bodies. End of Flashback Aiden Pov Present Day

“She will learn to control her powers in time, just as we learned. I believe she will be more powerful than both of us combined,” I tell Ethan.

I can’t wait to see it.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

I mentally roll my eyes at Enzo, just as Kayla is coming out of the bathroom, and I feel my heart drop. I can feel what my brother feels, and I can tell he feels the same way.

“She looks amazing, doesn’t she, brother?” I tell her as I eye-fuck her curves in her tight jeans. “That she does,” Ethan says. We laugh as she blushes.

Ethan asked her how she felt. We are happy when she tells us she feels better and safer. Our Lycans are howling. When she told us about her husband’s not letting her take hot showers, I couldn’t stop Enzo from rushing forward. Lycans are extra protective of what’s theirs. I was happy when she didn’t shy away after Jevon and Enzo sandwiched her. She seemed comfortable. Then, all of a sudden, she pulled away, running to the corner and crying.

“I’m sorry.” She checked out. My brother and I sat beside her.

We should try to avoid talking about her past. She may have a meltdown, and with her powers, it may be terrible. I link to Ethan as we sit down beside her. I wanted to assure her we would handle the situation, but she asked us not to. We agree for now, but my brother and I know what’s up-that fucker hurt our mate. There is no way in hell he is allowed to survive because of it. We just have to plan it right.

We were able to get her into bed, and she asked us to get in with her.

We must be careful with her and make sure it’s what she wants, Ethan links to me.

I agree, I tell him. We ask her to say it loudly, and she does. We lay on the bed with her. Just not too close. I don’t want to scare her off or make her afraid.

I linked a kitchen member to cook some food. After she ate and went to sleep, my brother and I stared at her. I ran my hands through her beautiful jet-black hair. It was just like ours; I love her. I love her already. I knew I loved her the day she came and fell unconscious in front of me. My brother does, too. I can feel his love for her. It makes me happy. Ethan POV My brother and I have always shared everything since we were little. It wasn’t a surprise to us when we found out we would have the same mate. Kayla is so beautiful and special. Even if she were just human, I would still have loved her as much as I do now. My brother loves her too. I can feel it in her link.

“I know we told her we would let it go for now, but that alpha will die along with his entire pack,” I tell Aiden. He nods in agreement. I could already feel what he felt about it, so I knew there would be no issue.

“Dr. Lauren told me she was always alone in life,” Aiden says, looking down at her.

“Well,” I tell him. “She has us now; she will never feel alone again.
