The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 051 | Decision Made
Aurora's POVGuilt wrapped around my heart as I tucked a note Ethan had left me into my suitcase. He'd slid it under my front door at the crack of dawn. I'd heard him muttering to himself and hesitating on the porch before the paper had been folded twice, quickly, with purpose, and it had scraped over the door mat before I'd heard the sound of his rapidly retreating footsteps.Sighing softly, I picked it up and read his carefully written words again. His handwriting was neat, painstaking, and I knew this wasn't something he'd scribbled down in a rush. Dear Aria, it read,I didn't mean what I said in the hospital. I was upset, and frustrated, and I lashed out, and I'm sorry. You were right, too, when you said I needed to think this through. It's not just Selene I have to think about, but Serena as well. This effects us all and I don't want to act impulsively.That said, I know how I feel. I know the Moon Goddess has given me a second chance, and I'm not going to lose it. I'm not going
The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 052 | Home
Aurora’s POV“We’re here.” Swallowing hard, I squeezed Sammy’s little hand. It was clutching mine so tightly I was losing feeling in my fingers, but I didn’t say anything. He needed me.And, right now, I needed him more than ever. We were setting foot somewhere I’d never expected to see again. The hair on the back of my neck prickled as we took our first step away from the car.The Silver Shade Pack looked different to how I remembered it, but then I’d never spent much time on the actual pack grounds. Ethan and I had our house and our life and, although I’d once been its Luna, Silver Shade had never been as much a part of my life as it had been his.Add to that the fact that I was seeing my old home through new eyes, and it made total sense that the once-familiar buildings and gardens looked a little odd to me.But I didn’t think it was me. The pack grounds were deathly silent as we inched our way towards the medic’s quarters, hand in hand, both of us quiet, the only sound we made th
The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 053 | Two Mates?
Ethan’s POVThings were about to get… weird. I’d thought this would work. I’d thought Selene would stay in Berlin. It didn’t matter what I’d said to Aria when I’d tried to placate her; I wanted to believe her, but she was hell bent on thinking Selene was behind every bad thing that had happened to her. It had been easy to get caught up in her delusions when she’d looked so fragile, so scared, but the truth was that as soon as I’d been back on my own, I’d realised how crazy it was to think that Selene would lie about being in Berlin to antagonise a sweet, innocent doctor she’d never met.Selene had her faults, but they were always logical. I could understand why she worked so hard to keep up appearances; she was a wealthy heiress with a lifetime of expectations weighing heavy on her shoulders.What Aria believed held no logic. There was no way Selene was lurking in Midnight City, twiddling her moustache after orchestrating a car crash. It was impossible.I had to focus on reality. Al
The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 054 | Stepping Back in Time
Aurora’s POVThe lift dinged, announcing its arrival, but I didn’t react to it. I couldn’t.My eyes were fixed on Ethan and Selene outside. His hand tangled in her hair. His eyes fluttered closed. His chest heaved. I could feel the intensity of the mate bond as I watched. Violet was crying out in my head, making my own despair worse.Selene grabbed him around the waist, her long, slender red nails digging in to his sides. She leant back; he was quick to support her, tugging her closer.I gulped. I felt like I’d stepped back in time. This was just like walking into The Midnight Club and coming face-to-face with the two of them kissing, uncaring who saw, gleeful and amused by their own twisted deceit.Ethan had told me he and Selene were just together for the public eye. He’d even said she was seeing other people, in secret. But this didn’t look like a performance for the public or the press. This looked intimate. This looked real.“Doctor Aria? Is everything all right?” Leyla tugged
The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 055 | First Encounter with Selene
Aurora’s POVSelene looked exactly the same as I remembered. Perfectly curled blonde hair. Cat-like green eyes. Beauty mark under her eye. Her beauty was almost intimidating up close. Even when I’d looked like her, I’d never carried myself the way she did. She oozed confidence without quite touching on arrogance. An Omega like me could never pull that off.Even so, it was like staring into the past.But something more important struck me up close.It was her. I knew it.It was Selene who’d been there at the car crash. It was Selene who’d been in the woods with Dominic Butcher. It had all been Selene.It didn’t matter what anyone else believed or what they told me. It didn’t matter that her pretending to be in Berlin made absolutely no sense at all. It didn’t matter because I knew, deep down, right to my bones, that she’d been there for the worst moments of my life.I realised this as I pasted on a smile, scrambled around to find my friendly doctor persona, praying all the while that s
The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 056 | Another Complication
Aurora’s POV“What happened?” Sammy gasped. “I don’t know,” Selene said, with the perfect amount of worry and calm carried in her tone. Enough to keep Sammy calm, but enough to let him know how concerned she was too. Yuck. “I was just giving your mum this welcome hamper and she collapsed.”Sammy’s hands pressed to my face. I couldn’t open my eyes; everything was swirling and spinning, making me so dizzy I felt like I was going to be sick.Realisation burrowed beneath the nausea. Sammy had come out of our room. Selene could see him. If Selene could see him for long enough, up this close, she could see how much he looked like Ethan. That gave me enough of a jolt to open my eyes. “I’m okay, sweetheart,” I croaked.He held out his hands to help me up. I took them but pulled myself up, letting him think he was hefting the bulk of my weight. “Thank you,” I whispered, smiling softly at him.“What happened, Mummy?”“I just got a bit light-headed, that’s all. I’m fine now.” I forced my smile
The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 057 | This Is Your Life
Aurora’s POVI let Selene drag me downstairs. I was too dazed and confused to put up any sort of a fight. Violet kept chattering away, making side comments and hooting uproariously at everything she said, and I felt so alone with this abnormal version of her in my head that I couldn’t dredge myself out of my misery for long enough to fight back. I’d lost my son and, along with him, all my sense of purpose. Sammy scurried off ahead of us to find Ethan. I made a little sound of despair as he rushed off.He didn’t even look back.‘What do you call a deer with no eyes?’ Violet crowed. ‘No idea! Get it? Like no-eyed-deer? Ha!’‘Who are you?’ I groaned. ‘Um, your wolf? Girl, what is with you today?’‘What’s with me?’ I cried. ‘I’m the normal one here! You’re acting like a you’ve had a personality transplant!’Violet scoffed. ‘Says the baby snatcher. Incorrect, boo. Try again.’I rolled my eyes at her but otherwise ignored her jibing. She wasn’t my wolf. I didn’t know what had happened to
The Alpha's Rejected Mate is the True Heiress 058 | Stuck
Aurora’s POVAfter a check-up, I was sent to have a scan in a gleaming, state-of-the-art suite. The Medic couldn’t find a thing wrong with head, not even the brain injuries I’d been told explicitly I had in my last visit to the hospital, but I didn’t try to argue with him. There wasn’t any point.Finding nothing wrong other than the fact I didn’t know anyone or my place in this strange world, I’d been sent home and told to rest before my shift in the morning. Selene had promised with owlish earnestness that she’d try to get me off kitchen cleaning duty, but the little smirk she’d worn all the while told me otherwise. I swore she knew something the others didn’t. Or was I really just going mad?I walked back up to my room slowly, dragging my feet. They suddenly felt too heavy for my legs to lift. I took the stairs, wandering past the lifts without a thought. The walk to the tenth floor was a long one, but it felt like it was over in a matter of seconds.I felt around in my pocket for
