THE END.NARRATOR'S POV.SEVEN YEARS LATER.“Kol, Hardin, I don't think this is a great idea, let's just go back home.” Melissa, the youngest and only girl among the three children cried, but the guys paid no heed to her.“Come on Lisa, don't be scared.” Hardin, who was the oldest and the son of Carter and Aurora, urged her. “I promise nothing will happen to you, I will protect you.”“Yes.” Kol added. “We will protect you. You are our princess, remember?” Kol asked and Melissa quickly nodded her head.Kol was Arthur’s son and Melissa was Declan’s daughter.Hardin, the oldest was seven years old, Kol was six and Melissa was four. The two guys adored Melissa.“Good. So take my hand and let me guide you down.” Melissa, despite the fear gripping her little heart, stretched her hand forward to Hardin, who took it and carefully led the way down the steep road that led to the little river which was their destination.Carter and Arthur had brought the little guys to the river a few days ago
CHAPTER ONEAurora's POV“Aurora, you haven’t had breakfast yet!” My mom scolds as I hastily whisk out of the house.“Just keep my portion in the fridge mum, I’ll eat when I get back from school” I yell at the top of my lungs as I close the door behind me and rush into the bush nearby. I know she’s going to spend the better part of the day worrying about the fact that I haven’t had breakfast and I feel like a spoiled brat for doing that to her, but I can’t help it. I have to go to school early, even if it is at the expense of my health and my mum’s emotional well being and that is because my school doesn’t go easy on low class students like me. It hasn’t always been like this though. My father used to be the Omega of the pack, which is the Shadow Moon Pack, but he was accused of plotting against Alpha, Logan Bruce. When the Alpha heard about this, he grew furious and killed my father without even investigating the issue. He went as far as banishing my mother and I from the main pack
CHAPTER TWOAurora’S POVIt is forty five minutes into the last class before lunch break and everyone is already exhausted and famished. Worst of all, it is a Biology class and the teacher just keeps talking and I keep having this little war with the sleep in my eyes. My case is the worst because I skipped breakfast, and right now I’m so hungry that I can’t even think straight. The most pathetic thing is that I don’t even have up to five dollars on me to buy myself a good lunch, so during the break, I'll just have to get something very small and eat.My life is not an easy one.The moment the bell goes, the entire class gets rowdy and I quietly start packing my books in my bag.“Yo Aurora!” A familiar voice calls out as the person approaches me.“What now, Drake?” I ask in a bored tone as I carry my school back and look up at him. Drake is a tall blonde haired guy who has a reputation of terrorising the rich kids from the Royal section. He hates them and many teachers have tried to g
CHAPTER THREEAurora's POV“Mate” I repeated the word he had just uttered, almost in joy, but the look in my mate's eyes made me understand that not all is well and that there is absolutely nothing for me to be joyful about. I take a step backwards to escape his closeness that intimidates me, but to my greatest shock, he stalks closer to me and runs his hand through my long black hair. He grabs it tight and pushes me against the wall where I hit my back hard and a loud scream escapes my lips. Still holding my hair, he jerks my head up and forces me to look in his eyes. By this time, his almond shaped, sea rover-blued eyes are blazing with contempt and loathe.His imperious nose is flaring and his angular cheekbones are tight as a result of him gritting his teeth.Anger, disappointment, loathe, contempt and every other negative emotion is all I can see in his eyes.I whimper in pain as tears fall freely down my cheeks. He isn't only hurting me physically, but emotionally and psychol
CHAPTER FOUR. Aurora's POV "Please, let me go. I did nothing wrong, I was only trying to run away from…" I’m not done with what I am saying when the man who earlier said that I was going to be thrown in the dungeon cuts me off with the most terrifying voice I have ever heard in my entire life."Just shut up, you daughter of a low life. It should have occurred to you what would happen if you stepped those useless feet into the Royal section of the school. Your father was a traitor and that stripped him of all his rights as royalty.” He spat out furiously and his obliviousness on the matter intrigues me.When were they going to accept the truth? My father was not a traitor, he was set up and as of now, only the moon goddess who saw all, can attest to that. No one is going to believe me if I ever open my mouth to defend him again. That will only cause my mother and I more trouble than we already have.How I wish my wolf, Mia, will just take over me right now and snap their necks .“E
CHAPTER FIVE Aurora's POV I am seated at one end of the room, which is opposite the large iron door with my hands clutched around my knees and my head resting on them. Few locks of my hair fell down my face and I can tell it’s touching the floor, given how long they are.Sitting down here in pure sorrow and agony, my mind drifts back to the events of the past few hours. Thinking about Arthur makes my heart skip in fright and I lift my head up. I hope nothing bad has happened to him. I hope he is safe.I pray in the name of the moon goddess that the silly boyfriend of Chloe and his crew did not do anything bad to him, because I’m not going to forgive myself if that happens. I had dried up my tears, but with the pain I am feeling right now, they keep pouring down my cheeks.I shut my eyes tight, thinking of my mind linking Arthur, just to know how he is feeling, to know if everything is okay with him, instead, I can feel my mother's mind link pushing through. She is probably worrie
CHAPTER SIX Aurora's POV. I’m still locked up in this God forsaken cell and I have blocked Aurther from mind linking me because he is going to know everything, even without me telling him.The sound of the big ironing door opening snaps me out of my thoughts and I look ahead to see what’s going on. The orange lights which had been turned off all day suddenly come on and illuminate the room.At the door stands one of the guards from yesterday. He walks slowly towards me and throws some clothes in the air, causing them to fly and land a few meters before me on the ground. "Dressed up and leave". He orders with a stern voice.I was happy before leaving home yesterday, but now I I was a complete mess and the only thing I felt in my heart was anger and bitterness for everyone in the royal section.I don’t utter a word to him as I walk slowly to where he had thrown the clothes and pick them up, before returning back to my spot to I quickly put the clothes on. I looked down at my shirt in
CHAPTER SEVEN Aurora's POV “Arthur.” I call with a calm voice.He tousles his hair in annoyance, before walking into the room. I watch in silence as he goes over to my bed and sits on it. If he’s doing that, it means he’s not very mad at me and a simple apology will set things right between us."Ward and his gang. I couldn't fight them all. After you left, I tried to beat them up, but I was outnumbered and they dealt with me squarely. I had to sustain this.” He explains the last part, looking down at his sprained arm. "Oh, Arthur, I'm so sorry for making you go through this. It was all my fault to begin with. I hope you forgive me." I cry as I face-palm myself, letting a few drops of tears fall down my face.He drifts closer to me and uses his free hand to bring down my hand from my face. I let him hold them. "Nothing is your fault Aurora. You tried to defend yourself and I blame you for nothing.” He says in his usual calm tone and I can feel the sincerity in his voice. "Thank yo
