Third Person's Narrative;
The Moonfang was a beautiful pack. A pack so peaceful and tranquil, that it was the perfect setting for any fairy tale.
This ethereal pack created so many beautiful stories, but one particular one stood out. And that was the story of Princess Aurora. A story that was just as beautiful as it was heart-wrenching. A story just as intoxicating, as it is captivating.
Aurora's story is a story that stands out from many others and shows the depths of a woman's heart. How deeply it can love, and how deadly it can scheme when hurt. After all, hell hath no fury like a scorned woman.
Princess Aurora was the werewolf princess of the Moon Fang Pack. She was as beautiful as angels came and as energetic as a lightning bolt.
Her voice was smooth like slick and whispers of the evening breeze, and her laughter was a melody that could warm any heart. She carried a certain light that ignited every gathering she was present at, and she was loved by everyone she knew.
She had hair as dark as soot, lips as pink as lilies, and eyes golden brown like honey. Her eyes had a certain enchantment to them that mesmerized whoever dared to look into them.
She was indeed a sight to behold and a beauty that was worshiped.
She was a happy, and hyperactive young woman. A beauty that was both loved and envied. She was the perfect pride of her parents and pack. Their precious, little jewel. Their darling, flawless princess Aurora.
She was a gift from the goddess to reward the pack's faithful worship. That was what the pack believed.
However, were they right?
***********
Aurora could hardly contain her excitement as she twirled about in her room. The day she had been eagerly anticipating for most of her life had finally arrived. It was the night of the mate meet ceremony. THE night.
The mate meet ceremony was a beautiful, and divine occasion. It was a joyous ceremony where werewolves found their destined mates. A ceremony where the goddess revealed to her children whom she had designed to spend eternity with them.
For the past three years since Aurora clocked 18, she had been hoping to find her mate at every mate meet ceremony, but she never did. She was beginning to lose hope until the pack's Shaman, Mali, told her and her parents that she would find her mate at this very mate-picking ceremony. The one happening tonight. It was news that gave her great joy and excitement.
Her heart fluttered with anticipation and hope as she daydreamed about the man she would end up with. She had always been a hopeless romantic, and finding her soulmate meant a lot to her.
Finally, all her good deeds would be rewarded. Aurora had parents who fully loved each other, so she believed undoubtedly in love and had a vivid picture of what she wanted her future family to be like.
In Aurora's lavishly decorated room, which was adorned with moonlit tapestries, silver crystals, and paintings of lovers that she made herself, Aurora stood in front of a full-length mirror.
She took a deep breath of the scent of lilies that floated effortlessly in her room as usual, as she stared at her reflection. The mirror reflected her radiant beauty to her. It showed her beautiful black hair, which cascaded down her back in loose curls and had a few silver-tinged strips in it.
The mirror also showed Aurora her bright, golden brown eyes, which sparkled with anticipation.
She was indeed a sight to behold. An embodiment of a goddess. And that was a fact that no one could dispute.
Her dress was a flowing moonlit white dress which was embroidered with delicate silver ornamental stones. Stones that shimmered with every movement she made.
The magical-looking dress outlined every beautiful curve and dip of her body, and gently announced the glory of her delicate and flawless beauty.
“Goodness, you're so pretty! “Aurora's best friend, Serena, spoke as she came to stand behind her.
Aurora smiled as Serena wrapped her arms around her and rested her jaw on Aurora's shoulder. Serena was a striking beauty as well. She had dark brown hair and piercing green eyes.
The both of them had been an inseparable pair since childhood, and their friendship had only grown stronger over the years.
Serena couldn't do anything without Aurora, and Aurora's whole world revolved around Serena.
Serena's eyes sparkled with excitement as she stared at her best friend through the mirror.
“Can you believe it, Aurora? Tonight, you will finally find your mate. The one who will be your equal in every way.
A strong and powerful werewolf, just like you. “She whispered and Aurora smiled.
Just like Aurora, Serena also hadn't found her mate. But still, she was endlessly supportive and available to and for Aurora.
She was a sister and a better half to Aurora, and Aurora couldn't imagine life without Serena. Serena was a gift Aurora was grateful to the goddess for. A friend who was willing to stand with her through all the hardships she'd ever faced.
The best gift she could ever ask for.
“Don't worry, Serena. I'm sure you'll find your mate too. Who knows? He might be the king of some mighty werewolf kingdom up north. After all, good things come to those who wait. “She encouraged, and Serena smiled as she nestled closer to her friend.
“I hope so. But tonight is about you, my love. “Serena replied, and Aurora smiled sheepishly before turning around to face Serena.
“I can hardly contain my excitement, Serena. I've dreamed about this day for so long.
To find a mate who is worthy of being by my side. Someone who will support and love me like my father loves my mother.
However, I'm just as nervous as I'm excited. What if… Something goes wrong? “She explained, and Serena cupped her face in her palms.
“Worry not, my beautiful moonshine. Everything will be just fine. Trust the goddess. “She said and just then, Aurora's personal maid, Eliza, entered the room.
Eliza had been Aurora's loyal companion and maid since childhood. The young lady's warm smile and kindhearted nature always brought a sense of peace and comfort to Aurora, and Aurora has always liked her for that.
Eliza approached Aurora with a gentle twinkle in her eyes. And she bowed lightly before her princess.
“Tonight is the night, princess. Tonight is the beginning of a new chapter in your life. I am certain that your mate will be a remarkable werewolf. Someone who will match your strength and good heart.
I know you will be a wonderful Luna, and the goddess will bless us with a worthy alpha through you. “Eliza said, and Aurora's heart raced with anticipation.
Serena and Eliza's words fueled Aurora's excitement and anticipation. She couldn't help but imagine who her mate would be. How handsome he'd look, how powerful he'd be, what his story would be for not being available for all these years…
She had so many expectations, and she couldn't wait to go down to the celebration and finally meet him. To meet him and finally get the answer to all her questions and feel all the missing pieces of her life finally begin to fall into place.
She hoped for a powerful man whose reputation resonated throughout the realm. Just like her father. But above all, she hoped for true love. Love as true as she knew it to be.
She had so much love she was willing to give and so many dreams she was hoping to actualize. She had the perfect life and all she needed to attain full happiness was that one man the goddess had designed to make her complete and rule her pack with.
"Everything! "Aurora screamed as she stared into the eyes of the man she loved more than her life itself."I gave you everything, Perez! My heart, soul, time, love, pack... I gave you everything and yet you'd do this to me!? "She screamed further, but his eyes held no emotions. Nothing. He just stared at her coldly as her heart bled out in her chest.The crowd was silent as they watched. Pin drop silent. Even her parents were quiet. They had warned her before. But she never listened. She was blinded by love. And now her biggest fear and their warning were coming to pass. “Just look at you, Aurora. You are such a silly little girl. You thought you could rule this pack? You were never ready, or prepared for the responsibilities that come with leadership.You're so naive and blind! For the past year, I've been on a mission. Looking for ways to claim this pack and take it for myself, and you just gave me the pack so easily. On a platter of gold.Aurora, it only goes to show how weak and
Aurora opened her eyes and she felt the side of her head begin to bang. For a split second, memories of everything that happened crashed down on her, and she wished it was a dream. Some kind of nightmare. But the pain from her head and the dress she was wearing, said otherwise.Cold sweat broke out all over her body as she relived the dreadful moments and tears filled her eyes.“Alma, it was a dream… Right? “She questioned her wolf, but she got no reply. The heartbreak had hurt her wolf so badly, that the poor creature was cramped in a corner of her soul as though vanished.“It was a dream… “Aurora then muttered to herself as she tried to deny everything. However, her throat dried up and her heart sank further as she remembered her father.That wasn't fake. She could never imagine that, and her mind would never create something so gruesome... So evil about her father…In the fading light of the setting sun, her world began to crumble and crash all around her, as the weight of her diso
Aurora's heart raced as fiery anger fueled her every step. She was on her way to confront Perez. She wanted answers. She needed them...She had lost everything in just one day, and this caused a certain fire to burn inside her heart. With determination etched on her face, she barged into Perez's room, unable to contain the storm of emotions raging inside her. As she stood in front of him, her voice trembled with a mixture of pain, fury, and hurt.“How could you do this to me, Perez? ” Her voice pierced the air, and her words were filled with raw desperation. While Perez just glared at her with blank brown eyes.“You broke my heart, you killed my father, and you've torn my life apart! How could you be so cold!? I dedicated an entire year of my life to you!!I gave you my heart, my body, my life, my throne, my pack, and this is how you pay me back!? “She howled further as angry tears streamed down her red, tear-streaked face, and Perez stared back at her with his eyes cold and devoid
Aurora and Eliza traveled through the snowy woods, with their bodies weakened by frostbites and their determination to live tested by the blazing cold. Every step was a battle against their limits. It seemed like Aurora and Eliza had been walking for ages, and their strength was fading with each passing moment. The frostbite was turning their fingertips and toes numb, but they pushed through the pain. Eliza's determination knew no bounds. Several times, Aurora wanted to give up, but Eliza never allowed her.Aurora kept moaning in pain as she had never faced such harsh conditions before, and Eliza was battling to be strong for the both of them. Suddenly, a masked man appeared before them. Something about him seemed off, and his presence sent a chill down Eliza's spine.“Who… Who's there? “she questioned, as she tightened her grip on Aurora.“Your death. I have been sent to put an end to the ex-princess Aurora's life to ensure that she would never return to the pack. “He spoke, and
I groaned as I opened my eyes. I looked around for a bit and had to blinking repeatedly and shield my eyes from the bright light streaming in from the window. I sighed and gave my eyes time to adjust and when I dropped my hand, my eyes were welcomed by the sight of beautiful green tree leaves dancing in the wind. The sweet songs of birds in the distance filled the air, and the soothing melody almost made me grateful to still be alive. Almost.I instantly remembered my ordeal and I began to look about. The one person I was eager to see was Eliza. She was the last person with me and only would have answers to the questions I have. Every muscle in my body protested as I shifted, and I realized that it wasn't just pain from being stabbed, but my entire body felt numb. Like I hadn't used it in a while, and I had been confined to this bed for quite some time."My princess. You're finally awake! "The familiar voice made me turn my head, and there she was. Eliza. She was rushing out of a room
