Alpha Alexis POV It didn't make sense why it had been said that Aurora would bring chaos, why? She didn't look anything like that, she didn't even act like that. And even though she had grown to become a feisty woman, there was still something about her old self that was still there. It was all a defense mechanism - her fiery countenance. There was something about her that screamed brokenness, that wanted protection and acceptance but at the same time, she couldn't quite let her guard down. Was that what I had caused her? Did I traumatize her that bad? And as usual the wave of guilt hit me like a truck, I felt like crying again. But that wasn't an option any longer - I could hear my own buzzard telling me, "It's okay you know... We're in this together"and somehow I believed him, even if I knew he was only trying to console himself and me. When I got back home, there was no sign of Aurora anywhere- I knew she wouldn't be out of her room but one could only hope. She didn't spe
Aurora’s POVHow was Alpha Daniel standing in front of me, how could that even be?“Swear you'll never push me away, promise that you will never run away from me again, I need you to promise me that” We were close- too close that his breath fanned my face.“Promise me, Aurora. Please promise” His tone sounded like he was pleading, I might have been wrong but he was holding my hand tightly.I didn't answer, I couldn't find any word in my head, did he want this for me? for us? Did he want me? The begging in his eyes, how terribly I missed him, I missed him so much.I could tell he was waiting patiently for my answer, but I wasn't able to make a single sound. I wanted to be honest with him, I felt terrible when I saw him so worried and scared, even though there was nothing at all wrong, not a thing.His grip on my hand tightened when he saw me struggling to find the right words to tell him everything.But my selfish self needed to know if he'll ever change his mind and if he'll ever love
Aurora’s POVI know my dreams were trying to tell me something, they were trying to communicate about something more than what I could not put my finger on, they wanted to show me answers that I was trying to find but never did when I had the chance to do so. But there were no answers for me, and I was scared of them all at the same time. What was it? Who was that woman and that poor baby? I wouldn't lie, the man gave me creeps, a whole lot of it.He managed to set my whole mind in an uproar like that. It didn't help the fact that my throat has not healed properly but I managed to pretend that it had, so that Alexis wouldn't notice.“Are you alright?” Alexis asked, “You look pale.-” “Oh, I'm fine. Why are you always concerned with my well being? It's not very flattering if you ask me.”“You fell unconscious, Aurora. I don't know why it keeps happening. Is there something you think I should know?” “No. Well… I mean yes. That is…. There's nothing that can be done. There's nothing l
Alpha Alexis POV Luna had moved back with me. It wasn't the same way it used to be. It just couldn't. Not after I knew that someone like Aurora was out there. I had forgotten what it felt like to be wanted. To want someone to care about you. She didn’t even care enough, if she did she wouldn't leave me questioning my worth and my whole existence. Was it safe to say that I was confused as well? My wolf and I knew that Luna wasn't our mate but with Aurora, I couldn't explain what it felt like. It was like being in a different part of the world where colors were brighter than I'd ever seen before. Like I was experiencing something new for the first time and the world's beauty was taking it all in without question. I didn't understand how anyone could look at the world and not see the way it should have been. It was as if Aurora was the missing piece of the puzzle to our entire world. The missing piece to the equation that I hadn't understood until now. The one part in place. It
Aurora’s POV Alexis was surprised when I said I wanted to join him for the vows exchange ceremony he wanted to attend. But I didn't miss the fact that his face lit up at my offer and the way he clapped his hands together in excitement as we waited for the time to pass. He was so excited about it that I thought maybe he would have a heart attack right then and there from joy. He kept jumping around and bouncing on his heels like an overexcited child with a new toy. I was almost happy for him- almost. But my whole mood changed when I found out that there would be other Alphas there— it scared the living hell out of me. Did it mean that Alpha Daniel would be there? My heart raced , my mouth went dry, and my palms started to sweat when I realized there was no escaping this. I knew it was too late to bail on Alexis and I had to come up with something real quick. When he suggested shopping for a dress, I jumped on the offer. I chose a black dress that came with a veil, my plan wa
Aurora’s POV“Are you okay? I am so sorry” His voice danced as he tried to get me back on my feet.I almost broke down crying.I wanted to get up and wrap my hands around him, I wanted to bury myself in his warmth as his strong arms held onto me.It seemed the most natural thing to do at that moment. My eyes were burning and I could feel hot tears pooling up in them.But I didn’t move a single muscle. The look in his eyes told me enough.He was worried about me.I looked anywhere else, hurt and relieved that he couldn't recognize me. But the hurt was on the higher side. It tugged at the bottom of my soul, making it burn from within.I hated myself for hurting him so much. But did I really hurt him? this question felt like a knife twisting itself deep into my chest.The pain came with all of my memories. I thought about our last encounter before it all came crashing down upon my shoulders like a boulder crushing me into an icy, unforgiving abyss. I remembered every second of the way he
Alpha Alexis POV“You need to slow down Aurora”,” I said as I tried to snatch her wine glass from her and at the same time not make it so obvious.She was already drinking too much and I didn't like it.“What do you mean… I am not drunk, I am fine” She giggled and then downed half of the wine in an attempt to prove it. “And anyway, who are you calling slow”, she said pointing a finger at me “You’re only making me dizzier”“Nobody called you slow Aurora” At this point I was glad that people were not paying attention to us since they were too busy on the dance floor. “You just need some air and to get some rest. Let's go home ”, I told her while I tried to help her stand up.“No!” she protested “You will not convince me by any means to go home with you”, she said and I almost had enough control over my emotions not to laugh when I saw her expression. Her pupils were dilated, her nose red and her cheeks all puffy. She looked drunk but somehow still beautiful despite everything.“Auror
Aurora’s POVHow do I describe that I woke up with a throbbing headache and with the sun threatening to make me blind, I had no choice but to roll over in bed and close my eyes until the throbbing subsided, at least for the moment. I couldn't even find the words to describe my hangover.I only knew it was bad when my eyes stung like they would explode. The thought of doing anything more than lying in bed made me feel even more nauseous. But I knew that as long as I kept my eyes closed and didn’t move, then I’d be fine for now.But I thought wrong and too fast.This is why saying no to alcohol was the best option, I finally understood that.At least Alexis had been there, and he brought me home.Sucker! I thought to myself as that fluttery feelingcame back and I let out an annoyed grunt.“SIA! Stop being funny” I yelled at her.“It has nothing to do with me, it's all you,” she retorted.This time instead of trying to suppress the urge to vomit, I actually felt worse than before, and I
