AURORA Over the next 2 weeks, we go back into our normal routine. I would make him breakfast in the kitchen, most of the time with his arms wrapped around my waist. I would then spend the day with Grace and either Carson or Levi. Grace even managed to allow me to slip out into that clearing with her so Ariel could shift a couple of times. I would then meet Oliver back in his room, where I would give him a massage. He even surprised me one night by giving me a massage after I had given him his. The only difference now was that Oliver started making me stay with him overnight. He didn't do anything like on the night of the Blood Moon but made sure he always had some of his skin touching my skin. Unfortunately, even with staying in Oliver's room, Toby still managed to find a way to get close to me. Most of the time it was when I returned to my room and after I had my shower to get dressed and ready for the day ahead. He keeps getting bolder and bolder and I fight him as much as I can
LOGAN I collapse onto the bed after another 20 hours straight of training. I am just about to fall into the peacefulness of sleep when my phone beeps. Now not many know I have one so there is only one person it can be, so it must be important, I sit up, and fumble through my bag until I find it, unfortunately, I just missed it but no sooner did it stop, it started beeping again; I answer it as I lay back on the bed, "Levi?" "Logan, we have a problem..." I sit up. "What's the problem?" "It seems your father did the same thing to Aurora that he did to your mother..." "How did that happen? You and your father were meant to be protecting her..." "It happened the morning you left... She wouldn't do something he wanted... If Grace hadn't stepped in, then he would have done a lot more than just give her the Lovers Mark." "Is she okay? Is she still fighting him?" "You see, that's the problem. After the blood moon gathering and party, he has been making her stay the night in his
LOGAN True to his word, Axel had me home just as the New Moon was rising, which was the start of the Blue Moon Ball. I don't tell anyone but Levi and Carson that I am back as I make my way to my room. Once in my room, I go into the bathroom and have a quick shower. I dry off and then make my way into my closet. I pull out my official uniform. I know that the training I have done over the last 3 months has changed how I look and I am banking on that to allow me to get close to Aurora without my father knowing that it is me. I enter the ball without being introduced and just make my way around the room and I freeze as I lay my eyes on Aurora for the first time in months. She is just beautiful. My father has her dressed in a beautiful grey full-length, full-skirt, strapless dress. He still however had to show off his claim collar but no one but the ones in this pack would know that as at the moment, it looks like part of a beautiful gold and diamond set necklace. I watch my father as
AURORA It's the day of the New Moon and the Blue Moon Ball is on tonight. I spend the day being pampered by Grace and the other females. I don't mind it anymore as I help them whenever I can to repay them for the days like today. My dress tonight is a full-length, full multi-layered skirt, with a strapless heart-shaped buoyance. It is a beautiful descending black into a white sparkling pattern. It goes well with the image of the New Moon and rising stars. Once my dress is on, I sit at the vanity, allowing Grace to do my hair, and one of the other females puts on some light makeup. I touch Oliver's collar and think of all the time I have spent with Lincoln since the Blood Moon, after his reminder that I am his slave and he can take and use my body anyway and at any time he likes. Then there is the care and love he seems to be showing me over the last few nights, showing me that he can give my body as much pleasure as he can take from it... I can't fight it anymore and I can tell Ar
AURORA I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I can feel strong arms around me and that we are moving, but I don't know where I am or who is holding me. I fight to open my eyes and move my hand slowly to my head. I then hear a low growl next to my ear "Take it easy, my dear. You fainted!" I struggle as I recognise that voice and that the Alpha Beast is the one that has me in his arms. He puts me down but keeps his arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me in tight to his side. I allow him to guide me as I turn to Ariel. "Ariel? What's going on?" "What do you remember?" "Just bits and pieces... We haven't, have we? Not with the beast?" 'No, we haven't yet... But you just agreed to be his mate, his Luna and Queen... Umm..." "What Ariel?" "You also just agreed to give yourself to him... To allow him to have what should be our mates..." 'But our mate isn't here...." "He is... Logan is here... We can't give ourselves to the beast, not with our mate here!" "I wouldn't
AURORA He then slides his hand down in between us, slowly moving his basketball shorts, allowing himself to fall free. He then thrusts his hips just a little, rubbing himself along my entrance. He closes his eyes for a moment as he lets out a low growl of pleasure and thrusts his hips a little harder and faster, but he still doesn't force himself inside me. As he opens his eyes, he looks down and over at the junction of my neck and shoulder. His movements suddenly stop as he growls low and threatening, he then tightens his hand around my throat more, as he moves his lips so that they are just touching the skin and whispers, "WHO IS HE? WHEN DID YOU MEET HIM?" I let out a small sob and rasp around the pressure he is putting on my throat. "Who is who? I don't know what you are talking about...." He tightens his hand even more, applying even more pressure, making it hard for me to breathe. As I gasp for air, he growls again. "WWHHOO IISS HHEE?? WHO IS YOUR MATE?" He loosens
AURORA Lincoln then lets my hands go and gets out of the bed. I look around as he disappears into the bathroom and see that my dressing gown is draped over one of the chairs. I watch the bathroom as I slide out of bed and make my way over to the chair. I slip on my dressing gown and then make my way to the door that leads to the passage between his chambers and mine. I open the door quietly and slip through, closing it behind me. I then run down the passage to my door, open it, and step inside. I close it behind me, slumped back against it, and sigh in relief. I then tighten my dressing gown around me and make my way into my bathroom. I turn on the shower and once it is scorching hot; I step in. I wash and scrub, getting rid of all traces of him. Once I am satisfied that I can't get anymore off of me without removing my skin completely, I turn off the water and step out. I grab the towel next to the shower and slowly dry myself off, as I do this I feel tingles run through me as I
AURORA I re-closed the door and leaned back up against it; it was a set-up. Everything was a set-up. He wanted me all along. He just wasn't expecting his son to be my true mate. I then hear a light tap on the door, along with his rough voice, "Aurora, come out here now!" I quickly get to my feet, wipe off the tears that escaped my eyes, grab one of Oliver's slave uniforms and slip it on. Just as he is about to knock again, I open the door to face him, knowing that I will receive a punishment for leaving his room this morning. I don't see it, but I feel the sting of the slap he just gave me. He then grabs my arm, pulling me to him. I struggle as he wraps his arms around me, holding me tight to him. Without breaking the skin, he bites down hard on my shoulder over the mark before I can prepare myself for it, making me scream as the pain he causes spreads through me. Unfortunately, now with my mate's mark there, Lincoln now has a new place he can use to bring me pain. He removes
