SIX MONTHS LATERAurora's POVI woke up with a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach as the urge to vomit hit me hard. Kaizen's body was pressed flush against my back as his arms draped lazily over me. I tried to ignore it and snuggle more into the warm body next to me.Just as I closed my eyes to go back to sleep, the urge to puke got so strong that I couldn't hold it in anymore. I immediately scrambled out of the bed and made a beeline into the bathroom where I hurled my guts. I tried to control my breathing as I vomited every content I ate last night. This has been going on for a while now and there was no other explanation to it than what I was thinking. “Fuck,” I groaned out, running my hands through my messy blonde hair.“Rory?” Kaizen's voice called out from the door, before I could give him a response another wave of nausea hit me suddenly and I hauled my tired ass into the water closet, puking my guts out.I dry heaved and felt a warm hand softly stroking my back. Kaizen f
(BlueMoon Pack) Aurora's POVRory. It called to me; a deep velvety voice that slipped over my body like a sensual quilt. I was cradled by darkness, like the hands of the beast that mastered it. I felt a hot deep breath at the nape of my neck but when I turned around, I was met with darkness. Come to me. The voice said yet again. I could feel his presence right behind me, but when I looked back I saw nothing. My heart pounded in my ears as the hair in the back of my neck stood, my body tingled with goosebumps. My breath lodged tightly in my throat as an unseen force lifted the hair from my shoulders and wrapped its hand around my throat. Though the grip wasn't tight or painful, but the sheer shock caused me to let out a loud scream that bounced off the walls of the dark room. I turned around again and this time, the darkness shifted, revealing a man with feral, dark eyes. His eyes were dark and emotionless as he grinned at me without humor, his canines elongated at the motion. Wi
(BlueMoon Pack) Aurora's POVAs I applied the last bit of concealer to hide the bruises on my face, my gaze fell on my reflection. My eyes were still hollow and gaunt but unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about that. I was putting on one of my mother's old gowns which she had dropped the night before. My mom had adjusted it to my size and it looked good if you could ignore the already fading color. I gripped the counter tightly until my fist turned white. I was nervous. When I walk out that door now, I would be claimed as someone else's. Knowing my mate was out there somewhere made matters worse. Would he ever consider taking me back if he finds out that I'm already mated and married off to another man? Leo and I had been friends in our childhood until he hit puberty and started acting coldly towards me. He always bullied and insulted whenever he saw me and tonight wouldn't be any different. Was the Alpha too blind to see that if his son truly loved me as he claimed, he w
(Silvermaw Pack) Previous Day. Kaizen's POVI turned to my beta as he strutted into my office unannounced. I narrowed my eyes on him, he knew I hated to be disturbed when I'm working but he was the only one who could get away with that. He plopped down on the seat opposite me and grinned. He was annoying the fuck out of me right now. And I knew I was seconds away from lashing out at him. “What the fuck do you want?” I snapped, slamming my pen on the table. He rolled his eyes. “Calm down, Kai —” “Alpha.” I corrected, narrowing my eyes at him. “What?” He asked with mock innocence. I could see the glint of mischief in his eyes and I'll be glad to wipe off that smug look from his face. “It's Alpha Kaizen, you dimwit.” I snapped. “Now tell me what the fuck you want or you leave this minute.”“A little grumpy today, are we?” I ground my teeth together. “Who am I kidding? When are you never grumpy? You have a stick shoved up your ass twenty four seven.”I clenched my fist. “Sébastien
Aurora's POV Leo and I stood side by side as preparations were made to bind us together. Werewolves didn't get married in churches like humans did. Instead, we would be joined together by sharing blood. A part of my palm would be cut open and they would do the same to Leo. Once our bloods were joined together, and he marked me, we would say our vows and I would wear the ancient ring passed down to me by the previous Luna, we would be bound together. I felt a dreadful feeling bubble inside me as I scanned the crowd, trying to find a pair of piercing green eyes but I couldn't find them. The same pair of eyes that haunted my dreams. My mate. My mate was in this room. Probably watching from a corner, he was going to watch me get married to someone else and he wouldn't do anything to stop it. Alpha Kaizen was a ruthless Alpha, who ruled his pack with an iron fist, and he was not to be messed with unless they wanted to face his wrath. I heard rumors of how he killed people and how cruel
They say every sunset is an opportunity to reset and every sunrise begins with new eyes. But as we drove towards the Silvermaw Pack, I knew my life was about to change for the worse. Kaizen Cage was going to make sure of that. The moment I saw the disgust on his face when he saw me, the curl on his lips was enough reason for me to run for the hills. But, he has staked his claim on me. Not as his mate, but as his property. Kaizen and I sat in the back seat with a whole lot of space between us. I wish he could come closer and hold me in his arms, whispering how much he had longed to meet me, how much he wanted me. I felt tears in the corner of my eyes and discreetly cleaned it. An unfamiliar man who I assumed was his beta sat in the front seat with the driver. I got the chance to look at his features more closely as he gazed out the window looking deep in his thoughts. He is a very attractive man, the most handsome man I've ever met. He carried an imperious nose well and a strong chi
Aurora's POVTwo weeks have passed since I was brought here, feeling more like a month. I got out from the bed and stretched my sore limbs. Every single day I spent here was filled with work. I was practically a slave in my own mate's pack. To think I had thought that meeting my mate, the man that had always claimed me in my dreams, would be my saving grace. But, I was wrong. Kaizen Cage was my worst nightmare. I rarely saw him around the house. It was like he was purposely avoiding me, because he would leave the house before I wake up and come back late at night when I'm already asleep. The thought that he was doing everything to avoid me stung, it stung really bad but there's nothing I could do about it. But, I actually noticed that the food I always kept for him at night for dinner would be empty by morning. I don't know why, but that thought made me happy. That he actually trusts me (even if it was a tiny bit) to eat the meal I prepared. Not like I would dare try to poison his
Kaizen's POV I tiredly walked down the stairs, feeling guilty as hell. I felt like I needed to apologize to Aurora for my harsh words and what I did earlier, but my pride would never allow me to do that. It was as if there was an invisible force that made me want to go close to her and at the same time—push her away. This was one of the reasons why I didn't want a mate, they made things complicated and so nerve-wracking. I wasn't the type of man to feel guilt or any type of emotion except anger, rage and pleasure. Any other emotion makes one weak. Then she just had to walk in on me banging that whore —what was her name again? Chennai? Cheyney? Cheyenne? Yes, Cheyenne. That was her name, I think. I hadn't intended on Aurora walking in on us. Try as I might, I couldn't wipe off the hurt expression on her face from my head. And that made me feel even more guilty, and I hated it. I hated that feeling. Wanting to push her farther away from me, I didn't stop fucking Cheyenne. I even wen
