OMG! 30k readers milestone! Thank you so much for this everyone, I really do hope that you're enjoying it! So, in other words, back to topic. Aurora grew more protective as she is pregnant, now, what would SHE do when she finds out? Don't forget, she is still very angry with Dante, and would still be a bit more emotional, and can be aggressive. So, I believe that our Alpha is in for it from his little neonata, don't you? Don't forget to vote, comment, and leave a review. Ps. My apologies for not updating yesterday without any notice, but you know, life can make us change plans at times, haha. Hope you're not too upset with me though *puppy dog eyes?* Until the next chapter. Bye.
Aurora: I frowned as I sat up to find myself inside my room, and on top of my bed. My head throbbed, and my body felt weak despite not remembering putting much of an effort. The smell of food filled my nostrils making me frown, especially since I didn’t remember myself getting up to cook, at ALL. I got up from bed, and couldn’t help the low growl that escaped my chest at the sight of Dante who stood in my kitchen, cooking. He chuckled but didn’t bother to turn to look at me, and catching sight of the roses that were in a vase, on top of the counter, I shook my head as I took a step inside the kitchen. “I take it that you’re not here to kill me just yet” he stated, turning the stove off as he looked at me. “What are you still doing here?” I asked, shaking my head at him. He didn’t respond for a few seconds, studying my expression before he sighed. “I didn’t mean to break something in you, Aurora…” “I asked a question, Dante” I said, stopping him “at this point, it doesn’t even m
Dante: “What are we going to do now?” Aurora asked, shaking her head as she placed her hand on her stomach. The two of us were heading to the hospital where Laura worked for her ultrasound, and despite her being excited about it, I could tell that she was more than just a little nervous. “We’re going to see how far our baby is, and we’re going to make sure that you and the baby are healthy. Yes, she told me yesterday that you two were, but I still want her to take some blood tests to ensure that” I said, looking at my beauty as I drove. If she was going to risk going to Giovanni, I needed to be sure that it wouldn’t be dangerous on her or the baby; otherwise, we would just drop the whole fucking thing and leave just like mom said. My mate, baby, and family were a lot more important to me than some revenge that seemed to be throwing us in random loopholes. “Then what?” She asked, biting her bottom lip. “Then, my neonata, we’re going to go home, to let mom know of this. I am sure th
Aurora:“Anything?” I asked Leo who shook his head.My heart ached, and I knew that something happened, though what it was, I couldn’t tell. Him disappearing like that, and until now. The way he hung up. I knew Dante enough to know that he wouldn’t do that unless it was important, unless, I hoped so. But judging by Leonardo’s reaction, I could tell that Dante wasn’t the type to do such a thing.“Did you at least try to call him again?” I asked, running my fingers through my hair as I did. Leonardo sat beside me, and taking my hand in his, he squeezed it gently. The two of us were already back at Dante’s apartment once we were done with all the work we had to do, and there was still no news on him. Not even a phone call. AND IT WAS A WHILE PAST NINE AT NIGHT!“You need to relax, Aurora, you’re just draining yourself. You haven’t eaten anything all day, and you’ve been pacing around…”“Dante?” I asked, stopping Leonardo, standing up from the couch that I was sitting on. “Shit…” Leona
Dante: The man’s words played in my head as I opened my eyes the next morning. My vision blurred as the light hit my eyes, and the headache that formed afterwards didn’t help much, but that was the last thing that I could care to think about right now. My heartbeat was calm, and my wound bandaged, and despite just waking up, I couldn’t help but think of the topic. The man’s words played in my head regardless of whether or not I was exhausted. I hissed, sitting up on the bed to frown when I couldn’t find Aurora anywhere. I knew that she came to my side somewhere in the night. My wolf only relaxed upon feeling her presence close to me, and judging by the fact that my wolf was as calm despite being in distress, I knew that it was due to her being by my side. The fact that I knew that she was at risk of almost losing our baby last night didn’t help me much, and knowing that Leonardo would have done everything possible to prevent that didn’t help me either. In other words, I knew that
Aurora: “Dante, you getting up right now would not be good” I said, trying to push my mate back on the bed. But of course, Dante being his stubborn-self, did not listen. I knew that his mind was on what his mum had said earlier, and putting myself in his shoes, I couldn’t blame him for it; however, right now, he needed to rest to recover. “Aurora, please…” “Please, Dante, stop” I said, straddling his lap before he could say another word “I know that your mind is in a mess, and I know that you fought hard to stay in bed for the past three days; but you’re still hurt, and would need time to recover” “She is outside, refusing to enter the room so I don’t confront her” Dante said, making my heart ache. He was right, his mum was in the house, and no matter how many times he asked for her to come, she wouldn’t, and I knew her reasons. The woman kept such a fact from him throughout his whole life, and whatever her reason was, I knew that Dante wanted to hear it. “Dante, I know that yo
Dante: I walked out of the bedroom, shocking my family, who were sitting in the living room. Mom, who expected me to come to her first, flinched, fearing my reaction; however, she was not the reason why I got out of bed. My mate and beauty was standing out alone in the veranda, staring into space, as she got lost in her thoughts. She didn’t even know how much courage it took me to come and face her after what she said. She didn’t understand how ungrateful she made me feel to what I had. I had a family by my side, regardless of the mistakes that have happened, and regardless of whatever lies or secrets, I at least knew that I could go somewhere if I needed it. I just realized that she literally had no one, and that alone broke me more than I could express. I walked toward her, my steps careful as not to catch her attention or scare her before I wrapped my arms around her. She jumped for a second before allowing herself to relax in my embrace, and resting my chin on her shoulder, I
Aurora: Never in my life did I think that I would feel as empty and betrayed as I felt right now. I couldn’t even speak to the woman who looked me in the eye, claiming to be willing to take my mom’s place, when she lied to me. My heart ached, and I wasn’t even sure how I managed to reach my house let alone leave Dante’s house. Thankfully, my mate chose to respect my need for privacy this time. I was a volcano ready to explode, and I didn’t want him to be the one I exploded on. My heart broke, and I knew that this was not healthy for my baby, but the sob that broke from my lips was one that I could not control. I screamed, thankful for the soundproof walls that I had, I screamed as loud as I could before turning the whole table, watching as the tea set, plates, and flower vase that Dante got me fell to the ground, shattering to pieces. I sat on the floor beside the shards as I covered my eyes, my chest aching more than I could handle, and screaming again, I tried to let out the pa
Nicolas: “You do realize that he would kill you the second he could, right?” Alessandro asked, raising an eyebrow at me. I sighed and sat on the floor in front of the cell that he’s been living in for as long as I could remember. “You and I both know that I have no other option, Alessandro. He would kill mom the second he can, and I did not risk everything to end up watching her die” I said, shaking my head at him “you of all people should know the struggle that we’ve lived through before he even allowed us any peace” “And have you seen any peace since then?” He asked, shaking his head at me. I stayed quiet, looking down at my lap as I recalled the struggle that he made us live through. Not only did he look at me as a bastard child, but he treated mom as a whore despite being his wife. He forced the woman to sign divorce papers, making sure to ruin her reputation as not to allow her to work anywhere to support herself or me. Had it not been for Steven, another slave to the man, we w
