Tight Embrace (Don't Hit Him, Please!)Aurora's POVMy heart raced rapidly when I heard what Alex said. I couldn't believe it; Nelson found me? How? A cold shiver ran down my spine, and my body felt numb instantly as I sat down on the bed. I didn't think he'd find me like this. Nelson and I broke up a long time ago, so why was he searching for me now? I pondered inwardly, looking perplexed.Suddenly, I remembered that day vividly; the day where he made me look like a fool! I had called him countless times, even begged him back then to accept me back, but he insisted I exited his life. I cried so much, and I even wished I'd never meet someone as awful as he was to me. I knew he came for the child, the one I told him he was responsible for, but Claire had just informed me that the child was actually Lucious's.So claiming the child now wasn't going to be the right choice."How can I fix this mess?" The question haunted me as Lucious stared at me.I watched Lucious's lips moving, but
Stop Claiming What Is Mine! Aurora's POV.I closed my eyes tightly, feeling my heart pound loudly in my chest. Holding onto him from behind, I pressed my head against his back. My main concern was preventing him from striking Nelson, but beneath that worry was a growing unease about his reaction to my actions.What was he thinking about as I clung to him? How did he view this unexpected embrace? Would he explode in anger, directing his frustration towards me? Or would he lash out, as if I were a punching bag?Emotions swirled inside me, a stormy mix of fear and embarrassment. Heat flushed my cheeks, tinting them red as I kept my head nestled against his back.Above all, I struggled to understand how I found myself in this situation. When had I managed to hug the man who had shown me no care or consideration? I took a big gulp, waiting for him to react strongly to my action. But surprisingly, he didn't. Instead, he remained silent and gradually lowered his hands.The tension that ha
Do Not Come Close! Aurora's POVThe idea of Lucious behaving like this overwhelmed me. I had pondered about it for quite a while, until suddenly, his hands grabbed onto mine and forcefully led me away, as if I had committed a crime. My heart raced as he dragged me back to the room.Fear and confusion washed over me as I gulped nervously, my eyes searching for guidance. I felt lost and shaken. I didn't understand the situation, but I had a strong feeling that Lucious had returned to his usual grumpy behaviour.All I could do was wish that he wouldn't cause me any harm. As we walked down the hallway, I was utterly unsure of how to move in this tense instant. My heart continued to race uncontrollably, burdened by guilt for everything that had transpired. I couldn't escape the realisation that I was responsible for all of this."I should have known better!" he exclaimed with a bitter scoff. He had harboured suspicions all along that the child wasn't his, and now, with the truth out
I Want Just You!!! Aurora's POV. A heavy wave of guilt washed over me as I witnessed the harsh reactions of my divulgence. I couldn't bear to see Lucious in such a state. He paced the room, his heated gaze darting around, his hands tugging at his hair in frustration.Observing him like this shattered my heart into pieces. I desperately wanted to fix up the situation, but I was torn between wanting to apologise and remembering his previous request not to.He turned away from me, intensifying my worry. With his back turned against me, I couldn't gauge his emotions anymore, and that only heightened my anxiety."Lucious… please," I pleaded, my voice shaky as I dropped to my knees. My heart felt weaker by the second, and I found it impossible to contain the overwhelming guilt that had taken hold of me.Tears welled up in my eyes, escaping in a steady stream that traced a path down my dampened cheeks. The trail of moisture clung to my lashes before finally succumbing to gravity, falli
Take Aurora Away!! Lucious povSeeing her on her knees before me, tears streaming down her face, shattered something inside me. I never thought I'd be affected by such a display of emotion, but I couldn't deny the restlessness I felt within.She was undeniably beautiful, and the treatment she had endured was far from what she deserved.Avoiding her gaze, I couldn't bear to witness her kneeling in front of me in such a vulnerable state. Her sorrow was noticeable, and it tore at me.My heart pounded loudly in my chest, my hands ached to reach out and console her. It was unbearable to see her cry like this, to know that she felt the need to apologise for deceiving me about her pregnancy, even if I hadn't given her much of a choice.My will wavered, my instincts urging me to comfort her. She didn't deserve to cry, not even a single tear. And I was determined to ensure she didn't have to, at least not in my presence.I rushed to her side, my hand reaching for her shoulder as I helped h
Full Moon's Trauma. Lucious Pov. "Take my Mate out of the pack," I declared with a heavy heart. It was a decision I had reached, one that would ensure her safety in the face of my potential loss of power during the full moon."What?!" Alex, my Beta, exclaimed, his confusion evident. "Why would you want her to be away from you? Now that you have a mate, she should be by your side to help you stay grounded."He went on to explain that a Mate's presence was important during this time, a way to help an Alpha remain calm and in control. It was believed that a wolf would never intentionally harm its mate. Alex's conviction was clear, but my uncertainty remained strong."I can't take that risk, don't you understand?" I replied with a heavy sigh, frustration and fear evident in my tone. "I become a monster during the full moon. I don't want to put her in a situation where she could get hurt. She's not a werewolf, and just being near me could be dangerous for her. I can't bear the though
Her Call.Lucious pov. "Please, I'm begging you, don't hurt me…" The pain my father caused me years ago resurfaced tonight, overwhelming me once again. I trembled as memories of my younger days rushed back into my mind.My dad was really strict. He was the one who taught me that to be an Alpha, I had to be tough, even if it meant losing control and doing whatever it took to keep my people safe. I wasn't like the other kids; in fact, I didn't really get to have a normal childhood. My early years were all about constant training and enduring my father's dissatisfied hollers.***"Lucious!" He roared, his eyes piercing into me, "What on earth do you think you're doing?"I was left speechless, met only with a forceful slap that stung across my cheek. A cry of pain escaped my lips, and I felt utterly helpless in that moment. What could I even do? My father had never truly shown any concern for me; I was merely a tool for him to create a weapon, a means to strengthen his own pack.The
We Must Leave! Now!! Aurora's povMy attention snapped to the door as I paced nervously around the room, my heart racing as I saw Claire entering. Despite her presence, my concern for Lucious remained unabated, and I couldn't shake off the worry of what might be transpiring between them. What secrets were they sharing? What was Lucious not revealing to me?"Has the pack come under attack?" My anxiety overrode any discomfort from Claire's presence, my pacing unrelenting. Or perhaps Nelson had returned, bringing his share of problems?I fidgeted with my hands, teeth sinking into my lower lip as I continued my restless movements. The worry was consuming me, and I yearned to uncover the truth so I could mentally prepare myself."You seem troubled, what's wrong?" Claire entered the room, gently shutting the door behind her. Her gaze was sensitive, just like the observant look she had given me earlier.Claire possessed a talent for soothing anxious hearts, and I could tell she was att
