Aubrey’s POV" I won't." He said with utmost sincerity almost like a vow, " I never want to spend a day without you in my life or in my home." He said. His voice was thick with emotion and I knew that he was serious this time. " And you promise never to hide anything from me?" I asked again and he nodded." I need a verbal confirmation so that it can be on record that you consented." I joked. " Oh, really?" His brows jumped a few inches, "I don't see any recorder." He said, and I gave him a stern look. " Okay, it's alright then. I Declan Knight pledge to tell you everything you want to hear." He said begrudgingly as though I was forcing him, and I giggled. This was the time for me to milk him, " Do you also promise not to...." " What? I don't want to make any more promises!" He exclaimed. " You have not even allowed me to finish speaking." I said and he chucked. He raised his brows with a bit of smile dancing on his lips." I don't know what you are about to ask for next." He

Aubrey's POV"Save those expressions for a theatre. We both know what you did, and to think that I had high expectations for you. I was happy when I heard my brother finally fell in love with a good human, not knowing that you were worse than a viper. Now that he's dead, how do you feel? Better, fulfilled, satisfied?" "I..." She held a hand up, " Let me finish." She warned me and I looked at her, " I'll tell you this once, even if you get married to him, I'll never accept you. I would prefer Claire over you, at least she never made him kill his brother." she spat. I stared at her, it was as though there was a scale covering her eyes because I wondered what would have ever given her the boldness to think that I would want him to kill his brother. "I can see that you are not ready to listen to me, you are set in your ways and you think that's the right thing. However, I have only one thing to say to you too. I would never encourage him to kill his brother, I have never seen him till

Aubrey's POVI knew that other people in my position would be happy with his statement but I couldn't help but worry, if this was the life i was going to be living. People would get killed for me to be alive.." I don't know what you are thinking about, but I know that I won't allow harm to come to you under my watch no matter who is involved." Mr. Knight continued, " It's a cut throat world out here, only the strong survive." He added when he observed my countenance."This is one of the reasons I was hesitant in the beginning, I wanted to send you back if I could,you are not cut out for this kind of life. You deserve the best in the world. You deserve a baby girl treatment and I am sorry that with me, comes the good, bad and the ugly. If I could change things trust me I would. But as it stands now, I don't want you to be afraid." He said. I wasn't afraid, it was probably the humanity in me talking, " I trust you, but it's them I don't trust. How am I supposed to be protected when I

Aubrey's POVMr. Knight hesitated and I stroked his hand, his hands stiffened and I knew that he was angry before he would become so angry and become uncontrollable, I spoke."We'll be outside soon, please wait downstairs." I said and continued stroking his hand gently and he looked at me.We heard her receding footsteps before I spoke, " You need to be calm." I said. He was already agitating. Do these wolves have off days? Sometimes they just needed to chill.Another difference between humans and them.His eyes bored into mine"How did she get in here is my question?" He replied out of annoyance and I sighed. I knew that he wasn't ready to listen to me, he was thinking of different things which only made sense to him.'They weren't going to tell you.' I replied inwardly and touched his chest and felt the powerful organ beating hard underneath, " You need to calm down, we don't want you to develop any ailment." I said and he looked at me. " I don't want to lose you my love." I said.Hi

Aurora's POVI woke up to the sound of a beeping machine and saw Nathan pacing about the room causing me to be a bit calm. If I was here that means that I wasn't dead right?As if he heard my sound, he turned and a sigh of relief escaped his lips and I waited to see what he would do. " Aurora?" He called as if he was very surprised to see me, as he walked closer to me.He hugged me and I felt pain in my neck as he squeezed it hard, I wasn't expecting him to hug me tight. My bones ached causing me to wonder what happened to me. " What happened to me?" I asked and he looked at me, " Was I shot?" I inquired again. That was the last thing I remembered but I wasn't bleeding so I knew that I probably escaped. "No, you weren't."He replied, but you passed out due to the shock from the attack. " The attacker was apprehended." He raised his brows upwards, "Thankfully," He replied, " I am so glad that you are awake. goodness! when I saw you fall, a part of me died a brutal death." He said. "
