Aurora’s POVWhen Alexis returned home that evening, I didn't tell him what I saw. I was tired of repeating the same sad tale, tired of being the bearer of bad news , he had enough to do worrying about his pack, their well being and the bills . It wasn’t my place to be a burden, even if I didn’t know for certain there was a problem, he already looked so stressed with it being just the two of us for now, he was barely getting any sleep. I noticed how he stayed up…“Don’t you like the food?” Alexis' voice cut through my thoughts. He was looking at me from across the table with raised eyebrows and pursed lips, the food in front of him untouched as he watched my reaction “It’s good, isn’t it?”“Mmhmm”“What’s wrong then? You haven’t touched your food. Is this a habit of yours?” His tone was serious but he wasn’t angry, instead it sounded more like he wanted to understand and maybe help.“You haven't touched yours either” My answer was only half true but he accepted it nonetheless, he gav
Aurora’s POVAlexis woke up to caresses from me. I was still lying in his bed, my fingers traced gently around his chest and he was smiling down on me with adoration. I wanted him so much. I didn't care how early it was. I just needed him inside of me.I licked his neck to his earlobes to get him turned on then I moved my way down to his abs, nibbling slightly at the edges where moaned appreciatively when I ran my tongue back over his skin and continued kissing him until I felt his hands move up my back and cupped my ass. We kissed again then he pulled away. "We can't."“What? “ I almost screamed.“I have a meeting…”“It can wait now kiss me back” I ordered as my lips were pressed against his again and he did.His hands roamed my body again before one stopped right above where my dress was and trailed his finger lightly up toward the edge of the nightie. I shuddered beneath him. “Don’t. “He frowned. “Do you want me to stop? “ I shook my head no. “It’s not a nice feeling to be interr
Unknown POVThey strode across on their horses and I could smell Fear and superiority that hung in the air, making it almost hard to breathe.“Don't stare at them!” The person who was with cautioned from my side but I didn't listen, I stared at the men that rode past us in anger.Not even trying to hide my hatred and irritation from them. When my eyes collided with their leader’s I saw pure loathing in those greenish blue pools of his – a loathing that made me want to jump into a lake and swim away as far as I possibly can. I had to admit though. It was one hell of a look and it was directed right at me.“I told you not to look at them! Do you know how much trouble you could have gotten into trouble” he scolded me once they were gone.He looked tired now, and I knew that he had been pushing himself for days. He'd barely slept and ha
Aurora’s POVI had forgotten about Erika. She was the first real friend I had here.When I first got here, it wasn't long before I knew people didn't like me, the maids would snicker whenever they saw me around, and even those who hadn't disliked me at first, now seemed to be treating me differently. They wouldn't look at me like I was even worth a grain of rice and if they caught me looking at them, they were quick to turn away and act as though I hadn't been there before, or else. I had become so used to it by now, that sometimes my body just moved on autopilot, and I could barely keep track of what was happening. It had officially been a week since I got there and Alexis never approached me and I was fine with us staying out of each other’s way.But I always knew I needed to leave this place, everything was driving me crazy.I had begun to take walks in the garden and surprisingly, no one stopped me but I could swear the guards were paying attention more than they should have been
Aurora’s POVI had taken the herbs the seer had mixed for me and yet I didn't feel any different. My hands trembled as I put the little cup of tea into my mouth but nothing happened. Maybe it was a bad omen, maybe I should have done something else with these herbs before I brought them to my room- Alexis room, maybe there really was some kind of curse on them…or maybe it would be better if it wasn't. Maybe I was just cursed.My mind ran on the endless possibilities of things that could go wrong in my life and I sat silently on my bed for hours thinking about the consequences when a knock came at the door. I thought about going to the bathroom or pretending not to know who the visitor was so they would leave. However, I knew it wasn't my imagination. The knocks were too hard, too authoritative. I went to open the door and there stood the person who had been in my dreams for weeks now- the almost good. His dark eyes seemed to be filled with anger. I gulped. “Yes?” I asked.He said n
Alpha Daniel's POVThat morning, I set out to go to the seer.It was going to take me a day and a half to get there but if that was all I had to do to get the answers I needed, then I was ready to do it. Besides, I wanted to see how this would work before I tried to contact anyone outside of my pack. And the seer wasn't like other seers at all. “Should I come with you?” Luna asked for the umpteenth time since she came into the bedroom this morning.She sat in the chair by the nightstand next to her pillow. She looked up at me as she pulled the covers around herself. Her hair looked a mess but otherwise, she didn't look too bad. “Did I say I was going somewhere?” I questioned looking up from my phone as I put it back in my pocket.“You didn't. It only looks like you are hurrying off somewhere” she said as she crossed her legs. “Do you have plans? I could come if you want.-”“I don't. Just need to make some calls. And you're not supposed to leave your room to mine unless something im
Alpha Daniel’s POV I don't know how it happened but when I woke up, it was already morning and my head throbbed like a son of a bitch, which it probably was because I had fallen asleep on the steering wheel and there was still an awful headache coming from behind my eyes. I rubbed them to try and get rid of the annoying feeling and took a look around the environment. There wasn't much, except for the little yellow dot in the distance. That must have been where I was going. After all, the last thing I remembered was struggling against the void feeling that tried to suffocate me as I fell into it. The only way forward for now was ahead. And if it meant taking out whatever made this hellhole more bearable, then I would take whatever. It didn't matter whether it was some kind of cosmic energy source or just a small meteorite hitting me dead on, as long as it kept me going forward I would accept anything. I was tired of running away from things like this. It seemed the whole world w
Aurora's POVIt was as if my whole world stopped and everything started moving in slow motion at the same time… I felt the air rush out of my lungs and suddenly it was impossible to breathe. It hurt like hell to inhale because all the oxygen had been sucked out through the roof of my mouth. My eyes were wide open but they could only focus on one thing; something that was not there.Was I dreaming? Was he really standing in front of me? After all these months? I didn't know how long it'd been – days? Hours? But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make myself believe what my senses told me I was seeing, hearing or feeling... or maybe just experiencing what they saw and heard. Maybe I was still sleeping – and that was the reason why things looked so different from this side. Or maybe it wasn't a dream; I could've lost a limb in the fall, broken some bones or brain aneurysms while unconscious... and then I would have woken up here – wherever here was.Or maybe I was awake, but not
