Alpha Caden’s POV I don’t know when things escalated from Aurora stepping out of the shower cubicle to me kissing her because I had to go meet with her father to talk about some rogues. I was more than distracted thinking about his daughter sprawled naked in my bed. I couldn’t wait to leave. The flare of desire in her eyes fueled me up and I had her backed against the tiled walls of the bathroom. She shivered at the coldness but didn’t complain. Her hands drifted to my pants, hovering over my dock. “Do you want to suck it, little fox?” I said in between kissing her, feeling her nipples taut against my naked chest. “Uhmm…” she nodded, still kissing me. The second she decided to play this little seduction game of hers, all my good intentions of waiting went up in flames. Now, as I watch her lower herself to her knees, soft brown eyes shy and excited, and her beautiful body mine to own, I want to keep us locked away forever.“Take out my cock, little fox.” I said as she got all the w
Aurora’s POV The water cascaded over my skin, washing away the remnants of the night, the steam swirling around me like a comforting veil. I made no mention of our encounter as I turned off the shower, the silence between us heavy with unspoken words.Wrapping a towel around me, I stepped out of the shower, the cool air of the bathroom a stark contrast to the warmth of the water. I could feel his eyes on me, his gaze burning into my skin, but I refused to meet it, instead focusing on drying myself off quickly.Once I was dry, I didn't linger. I didn't say a word as I wrapped the towel tightly around my body and tiptoed past him, my heart pounding in my chest. I prayed that the maids hadn't seen me, that I could make it back to my room without anyone knowing what had transpired between us.He didn’t say anything either. I closed the door behind me, I leaned against it, my mind reeling with the intensity of our encounter. I knew that things had changed between us, that this was just t
Aurora’s POV I descended the staircase, my mind raced with a flurry of apprehensive thoughts, each one vying for attention amidst the chaos. I clung desperately to the hope that our night had gone unnoticed, that the prying eyes of the pack had not witnessed our clandestine moment.However, my optimism was swiftly shattered when I caught sight of Lucas's piercing gaze, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. Before I could react, he closed the distance between us in swift strides, his hand grasping my arm with a firm grip.With a sense of urgency that mirrored my own mounting dread, Lucas steered me towards a nearby room, his movements purposeful and unyielding. With a decisive click, he locked the door behind us, effectively sealing us off from prying eyes and curious whispers.The reality of our predicament settled over me like a suffocating cloak, a single, damning thought echoed through the chambers of my mind. Lucas had seen me, caught in
Aurora’s POV Lucas's words cut through me like a knife, I felt a wave of hurt wash over me, sending my guts churning and my heart tightening in my chest. Even though he has rejected me and we had a fallout, I never would have expected such cruel words from him. He knows my parents were forever going to be a sensitive topic to me. Eva, my protective inner voice, seemed to be working overtime, desperately trying to shield me from the pain threatening to overwhelm me. It was as if she didn't want me to feel anything, wrapping me in an emotional cocoon to shield me from the harsh reality of Lucas's accusations.I feel like she has been doing a lot of that which is why she is always sleeping, drained. I have tried to have this conversation with her but she keeps evading it. I don’t know what to feel anymore. Lucas’s matter has always been sensitive because at the end of the long run, he was my best friend. I used to be closer to him than Lilian at some point because she had other girls
Aurora’s POV Lucas's stare bore into me, a mixture of disbelief and fury swirling in his eyes. It was as though he couldn't fathom the words I had just spoken, couldn't believe that I would dare to challenge him in such a way. But I didn't waver under his intense scrutiny. Instead, I held his gaze with a steely resolve, refusing to let him intimidate me. Eva is ready to attack whenever I want her to. She might be hurting but she won’t mind hurting him more. I am so ready for that. I could sense the anger radiating off him, a palpable heat that seemed to envelop us both. It was the kind of rage that threatened to consume him, to drive him to rash actions he might later regret. And yet, despite the storm brewing within him, I remained rooted in place, unyielding in my stance.I knew Lucas well enough to anticipate his next move. He would retreat, I was sure of it. He would turn and run, seeking solace in solitude as he grappled with the tumultuous emotions raging within him. Because
Alpha Caden’s POV I descended the staircase, freshly showered and clad in my limited edition suit, my mind buzzed with conflicting thoughts. Aurora's abrupt departure from the room hung in the air, a lingering question mark that begged for resolution. Should I seek her out and demand an explanation for her sudden exit, or should I simply brush off the encounter and focus on my pack duties? Though it’s better that way so things won’t be awkward between us. She is keeping it strictly business. Which is good for both of us. Lost in contemplation, I rounded the corner and there she was, standing at the foot of the stairs, a vision of enigmatic allure. Her presence commanded attention, her gaze fixed intently on some distant point beyond the confines of the room. For a moment, I hesitated, uncertain of how to approach her. But then, steeling my resolve, I descended the remaining steps with purposeful strides, closing the distance between us. Why is a small little lady making me questio
Aurora’s POV With a heavy sigh, I turned on my heel, my steps carrying me away from the lingering presence of Alpha Caden. The weight of his scrutiny still hung in the air, a constant reminder of the unresolved tension that simmered between us. As I made my way back to the solitude of my room, a sense of unease gnawed at the edges of my consciousness.Avoidance had become my default strategy in recent days—a desperate attempt to sidestep the inevitable confrontations that seemed to lurk around every corner. Alpha Caden's imposing presence only served to amplify my sense of discomfort, each encounter leaving me feeling more exposed and vulnerable than the last.Retreating to the confines of my room offered a fleeting respite from the relentless pressure of pack politics and personal turmoil. Here, in the quiet solitude of my own space, I could briefly escape the weight of expectations and obligations that seemed to loom over me at every turn.Yet even as I sought refuge in the familia
Aurora’s POV The elderly maid approached, her footsteps echoing softly in the tranquil space, I watched her with a mixture of curiosity and wariness, uncertain of what to expect from her unexpected visit. I know her to be the head of the maids, and we have sat and talked during my times in the kitchen. But this is different. Yet, as she spoke, her words carried a surprising depth of understanding, cutting through the layers of my defenses with uncanny precision. I leaned forward to listen to all she’s got to say because I’m curious. "My dear, I've seen the burden you carry, hidden beneath your stoic facade. Alpha Caden, he's more than just your employer, isn't he?" She asked with a tilt of her head that shows she knows something and I shouldn’t lie. Those eyes filled with age and knowledge. Taken aback, my eyes flickering with surprise, "I... I'm not sure what you mean."With a knowing smile, her eyes twinkled with understanding, she said. "Oh, child, there's no need to pretend wi
