Chapter 70DamonI walked into the room, quietly closing the door behind me so as not to make a sound. Waking Aurora was the last thing on my mind as I didn't want to announce my presence. I heaved a sigh as I strode across the room, to the bed she was lying on.The soft snores and her rhythmic breathing confirmed that she was fast asleep. Perfect. Work was hectic, the packs' affairs were about to make me go crazy. The stress of work was getting on me, making me exhausted, irritated, and dull. Inhaling Aurora's sweet scent and snuggling her in my arms for some hours was the therapy my tired body needed. Aurora was my medication. She healed me. The buzzing of my phone ignited my anger, making me groan loudly. I've heard enough of the packs' affairs. They can fix themselves until I arrive tomorrow. Without bothering to check who it was, I dropped the call, switching my phone off before burying it in my pocket. "My King…" Jasper's words filled my head immediately, interrupting m

Chapter 72DamonI wanted to let out a deafening growl. I wanted to punch the wall hard until my fist bled profusely. I wanted to grab Ray by the neck and rip his throat out while I watched in satisfaction how his blood would gush out of his veins and stain my claws. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't speak. The fear of breaking down before Rosa got to me. The last thing I wanted was to let my guard down before her. Aside from Jasper, no one has seen me hurt and I preferred it that way. I felt a strange blockage in my throat, making me clear my throat so as not to make my voice appear shaky before her. I was the Alpha King and I was tough. Nothing could give me an emotional breakdown…maybe this one could. How could I blindly believe Aurora and the doctor?How could I be fooled the second time? I felt so stupid, so used. I let Aurora's naivety and innocence blind me. Of course, she would want to get back at me for separating her from her family. "Turns out I was right af

Chapter 74DamonIt was like a bucket of ice was thrown at me. For some minutes, I was motionless, watching the two lovers nibbling and kissing each other passionately. My jaws dropped to the ground and my eyes popped out of their sockets. This wasn't real. My hands began to shake and my breath turned ragged in anger. I swallowed the bile rising in my throat as my jaws clenched. It was like I was glued to the spot. Frozen by shock, I couldn't move. All I could do was stare at the unfolding event. As much as I didn't want to accept it, I felt my heartbreak at the sight. It was like an invisible hand clenched my heart, squeezing it tight. I thought the feelings we had for each other were mutual. I thought she was Ivy's replacement. I thought I heard mate faintly whenever we made out, though I haven't thought of that much. Turned out I was wrong.She was a bitch. Suddenly, the air around me grew harsh and I was finding it hard to breathe. It was like I was slowly suffocating

Chapter 76DevinToday's work was hectic. I lay on the bed in exhaustion with my partly closed eyes pinned to the moon that shone in all her glory. It was strange. The Moon had never shone so bright in the dead of the night. I felt a lift in my spirit… excitement about something, but I couldn't place my head around it. But deep down, I knew this night would be different from the rest of the nights. I didn't know why I had that conviction, but I couldn't get the feeling off me. "The Moon is so beautiful, Dax," I blurted, mesmerized by the beauty that beholder my sight. "Dax?" I called again, this time louder, but I was left with no response. I tilted my head to see Dax lying on the couch with a book in his hand. Dax could sleep anywhere. The noise from the book was enough to wake him up, but for some reason, he remained asleep. The more I stared at the moon, the more I felt connected to it. It was like the Moon goddess was trying to tell me someone about my life and the life

Chapter 78Damon"My King." I heard a feminine voice call. Despite being in the same room with the person, I was far away. My mind was in the woods. For weeks, I haven't been myself. As much as I didn't want to admit it since Aurora left, I've lost my spark. I've lost the spark of happiness in me. After the death of Ivy, Aurora was the only woman to revive that spark…but now, it was gone. Nothing made sense anymore. My demons grew in thousands, haunting me day and night. My nightmares were slowly becoming a reality that I couldn't escape. My illness got worse. Dax, Devin, and Ivy were the only people I saw…but this time, I saw Aurora. It was strange because the rest of them were dead, but Aurora wasn't. I was left in a state of confusion. I thought I only saw them because I loved them dearly, but what was it about Aurora? Why was she appearing to me? Why do I keep speaking to her imaginary figure? My recent behaviour caused unrest in Jasper. He was afraid that I would be
