AURELIA.At breakfast time I made sure to sit away from Jason. Whenever I stole glances at him I found him looking at me. And when our gazes met he would smile. Does he know that his smile was my weakness!I tried my best to avoid him and only stayed with Rhys clinging to him. I wanted to make Jason realise I only belong to Rhys. He looked pissed when I sat close to Rhys, holding his hand. Our closeness was bothering him. I just hope it doesn't backfire me. What if he revealed everything in front of everyone.Having him around me felt like a sword hanging over my head. Lunch was tense. At least for me as Jason kept torturing me on the table. He wasn't leaving any chance he could get to look at me or touch me in some way. For example: When I reached for Pasta Salad, he just happened to think to put his hand out at the exact time. Subsequently knocking knuckles with me.I glared at him but it didn't affect him much. He kept doing what he wanted. It didn't end there. I felt his leg brus
AURELIA…..The tender days of sun, fresh fragrance of air and melodious songs of birds welcomed a new day with open arms, luckily I was witnessing the ceremony of nature from one corner of the earth. After two unpleasant days, it's something which brought a big smile to my face and happiness to my eyes to savour the beautiful moment but the silence was short-lived.“What are you doing here?” A familiar voice fell on my ear and I turned around and picked the watering can placed beside me.“Nothing, just watering the plants.” My reply was short and I resumed doing my work.I started loving gardening but due to a shortage of time I do not water the plants I had placed on the terrace. But Dad took care of them on my behalf.“Your Mom was telling me that you have not talked to her since yesterday.” Dad said, making me stop watering the plants.“Didn't she tell you why I'm not talking to her?” I asked without looking at him.“Your Mom is not your enemy. She is just worried about you. We h
JASON….I groaned, pulling my hair in frustration. I just spoiled everything by kissing her tonight. I don't know what got into me that I lost control over me. I felt like I would die if I didn't kiss her. I wanted to feel her warm lips against mine. I wanted to taste her lips. The urge was too much that I lost control over it and did what I regret most.Winning her heart wasn't easy. To execute my plan she was the best pawn but tough one too. I knew she was my mate and I can't do this to her. I can't use her for my own purpose. But she was a Ivanov. Rosaline Ivanov’s only daughter. Hurting her means hurting Rosaline Davenport. The pain we feel when we are hurt, the pain becomes ten times more painful when it comes to our loved one. She had killed my parents and kept me in the dark all my life while pretending to be the sweet angel of my life. I know she never hurt me or treats me unfairly but I can't just forgive her for that. She's the killer of my parents. Until I kill her with m
JASON….."Give me some more time, Jason. " Aurelia told me with a cute face and I ruffled her hair while saying."My pleasure, Little Bunny." She glared at me for doing that to her hair. She always hates when someone spoils her hair. "You are so bad, Jason." Aurelia smacked my arm and I laughed. Suddenly her phone buzzed which was placed on the nightstand. She ran to pick it up and looked at the screen. A bright smile engaged on her lips looking at the screen. I used my superpower to reach behind her to peek at her phone and I became green with jealousy when I saw Rhys' ID flashing on the screen."This brat! It was born to irritate me. I had to put so much effort to lift her mood and look, he brought a 1000-bolt smile to her face just by calling her. What a charm!" I scoffed in my mind while glaring at the phone. Before Aurelia could swipe the answer button I snatched her phone and held it high out of her reach. "What's this, Jason? Don't be childish. Give my phone back." Aureli
AURELIA…..I rubbed my palms over my face feeling all hot from the proximity a while ago. I touched my cheeks to find them burning. I fanned myself using my hand.I quickly went to bed and lay down covering myself from head to toe. I texted Rhys first as he has been calling and leaving texts continuously. He must be worried about me.“I'm sorry, Rhys. I was busy so I couldn't pick up your calls and reply to your texts. Moreover my phone was on silent so I didn't hear it ringing.”He immediately sent me a reply.RHYS: “I was worried about you. You have been avoiding me since I came back from your house. I thought I did something that upset you.”ME: “No, it's nothing like that. I will meet you after the fashion show. Wait for me.”RHYS: “I can wait for you all my life, darling.” Reading his message a smile ghosted on my lips.ME: “Did you miss me?”RHYS: “You are a remembered melody, lingering in the silence between my breaths.” I was touched by his words but my heart ached too. Becaus
HAEYEN….. (Aiden's daughter)Who wants to stay away from home? For me, family is the most important asset of my life. I worked in Alpha Alexei’s company but in another Branch in Milan. I had to shift here away from my family. My Dad Aiden Klein is Luna Rosaline’s bodyguard. He has been loyal to her and has been serving her all his life. At first he wanted me to be Aurelia’s bodyguard but Mom was against this. She wanted me to follow my dream. And my dream was to become a perfumer. I liked to make different types of perfumes. When Luna Rosaline found out about my passion when she got to know I make my own perfume. It was made from wild flowers. And she liked it a lot. So she insisted that I join Alpha Alexei’s company and work in Milan.I worked as a lead perfumer in his company. I lived in an apartment given by the company. And I was glad for that. But I hate to cook for myself. That morning which was not so bright as The Lazy Sun wasn't ready to come out from the thick blanket of
JASON……After coming back from the Dark Forest Pack I wanted to look for Aurelia. I have to win her heart as soon as possible. I can't waste more time. I have many things to do other than winning her heart.I knocked on her door and waited for her to open the door but even after waiting for minutes she didn't open the door so I twisted the doorknob to find it unlocked so I got into her room to see why she wasn't responding.“Aurelia,” I called for her but there was no response.‘Maybe, she's not in her room.’ I was about to leave when I heard the sound of water from her bathroom.I swallowed.Is she having a bath?I proceeded with my steps even though my mind was telling me to stop. My heart raced but I didn't know what got into me that was pulling me towards her. I felt like an invisible power was pulling me towards her.I felt so anxious that I could even hear my own heavy breathing. I was fully aware that I was walking closer to her bathroom. I could still hear the sound of water f
RHYS…..“When are you going to settle down, bro? You have been dating her for a long time. I think you should claim her now.” Brother Adrian said while sipping his drink.“I want to claim her but she's not ready yet. I don't know what happened to her recently, she has been acting very weirdly.” I shared my feelings with him while sighing heavily.“Did she find her Mate?” His sudden question took me off guard.“I don't think so. If it was the matter then she would have told me. I think it's something else. She looked very worried these days. I don't know if she's stressed about her work or if it's something else.”“Why don't you ask her directly. Go meet her, take her on a vacation. Spend some time with her. Make her comfortable around you. Make sure to gain her trust so she doesn't hesitate to speak her mind or share her problem with you. Got it?” I nodded my head.“I will talk to her and tell her to bring out some time to go for a vacation together.” I gulped down my entire drink in
JASON…..I wasn't there for her in her first pregnancy. I missed the opportunity to Pamper her in her pregnancy, tolerate her mood swings and cravings. I was excited to experience it in her second pregnancy. But all my excitement flew out of the window when she started to wake me up in the middle of the night saying she's craving ice-cream, sometimes pickles and sometimes tacos, sometimes Alfredo pasta and so many more.“How am I looking, Honey?” She was wearing a baby pink dress while flaunting her four months baby bump. She was glowing like a Moon.“As always beautiful.” I commented and she smiled, throwing a flying kiss towards me.“You are the best.”She was going to attend an award show where she was going to get the “Business women of the year” award. I was really proud of her. Her years of hard work paid off. She deserves this award.“Let's go.” We left for the venue. When we reached there, flashes of cameras and people's cheering welcomed us. We walked through the red carpet
SIX MONTHS LATER …. AURELIA….. “Luna, someone came to visit you.” An Omega showed up in our room at night when I was going to bed after putting Isabella in bed in her room. “At this hour?” My brow furrowed at the unexpected visitor. “Yes, My Luna. I think you should meet her. She looked terrified and not in a good shape. She requested an urgent meeting. I think she's in trouble.” I nodded at her. “You go and tell her to wait in the living area, I'm coming right away.” She nodded and left after bowing her head before me. I quickly changed my dress and went down to meet the visitor. When my gaze fall on the little girl my heart pained to see bruises on her face and one of her eyes was swollen and blackened as if someone had punched hard. It was clear as water that she was abused. Who has the audacity to abuse a child in my pack? There is no place for an abuser in my pack. I walked near her, when she sensed me coming she ran towards me and fall on my feet. “Luna…..” “Luna. Luna,
ONE YEARS LATER…..AURELIA......It was a big day for me as after seven long years I was going to be on stage again. I watched from backstage as Jennifer Winget, the hottest supermodel walked flawlessly on the stage flaunting my new design in Milan fashion Week. She was the face of my show. Her flawless skin glowed beneath the lights. It was a black gown and she was wearing a black crown on her head. But when she turned, the color of the dress changed. It became dazzling white, the dress was made on the theme of Yin and Yan.Now it was my turn to show up. The designer. I was feeling nervous. My heart was pounding hard and my pulse quickened. My hands were sweating and I could feel any biting my feet in tension. My assistant encouraged me and showed me a thumbs up.“You can do it, Mam.” I flashed a nervous smile at her.I took a deep breath before starting walking towards the stage. At first I thought I would faint but I managed to walk forward on the stage. My other Model was standin
“Who is Isabella's father?” Aurelia asked her Mother who was in dilemma whether to tell her or not.“Your father doesn't want you to go back to him. I don't think I should tell you about your husband.” Rosaline bit her bottom lip and told her.“Why? Is he a bad person?” Aurelia asked her and Rosaline shook her head.“No, he isn't a bad person. It's just …..” before Rosaline could say something more Aurelia placed her hand on hers.“Don't say anything Mom. Anyway, I don't remember anything about my past. It's better I don't know something which will give me pain. I want to meet him. Can you arrange a meeting for us?” Rosaline looked at her shocked because of her unexpected request.“He's Isabella’s biological father, he has the right to know about her and see her. If I feel like he's not the right person for me then I will not go back to him. Isabella is already sad for Raphael. She was very attached to him. I don't want to keep her away from her father's love. If she finds her real fa
ROSALINE ……When Rosella showed me Haelyn's vacation photo I felt like my heart almost stopped beating when I saw my long lost daughter in the background. I didn't tell anyone before making sure that she was really my daughter. I didn't waste a moment and called Haelyn. She didn't pick it up and sent me a text saying that she will talk to me later.At night she called me and told me everything. I fell on the bed with a thud with my phone. I couldn't believe my eyes when I finally found my daughter after five long years of waiting. I didn't leave any stone unturned to find her. But couldn't find her, it seemed she had just vanished into the thin air. But when Haelyn narrated everything to me I understood why we couldn't find her. Because he has been keeping her caged in his house.“What happened to you, Darling?” Alexei asked me in a concerned filled tone then I told him everything.“How dare he? We are leaving right now and bringing our daughter back to us.” I nodded and we left for I
AURALIA…..“Isabella, come to bed. Papà will be late tonight. So get back to sleep.” Tucking her in the bed I laid beside her.“Read me bed stories only then I will sleep.” She said stubbornly.“I don't know from whom you have taken this habit. You are so stubborn. Mamma is tired today. Can't you just go to sleep without listening to stories.” She stared at me with her tearfilled eyes which melted my heart. I love her sky blue eyes. My eyes aren't sky blue and Rafael’s eyes are brown. I don't know how her eyes are sky blue.“Okay, Mamma will read you stories.” Isabella squealed happily and kissed my cheek.“You are the world’s best mother.” I smiled and then started to tell her stories. After half an hour she fell asleep. Then I closed the door and went to my room. Suddenly I got a call on my phone. Usually, no one calls me other than Raphael, sometimes Haelyn or Davian call me. I picked up the phone to see it was Haelyn.ME: “Hello!”HAELYN: “Hello! Ari. I got kidnapped. Please come
FIVE YEARS LATER……RAPHAEL ROMANO……“Isabella, come for breakfast first. You can play with Dal later.” My beloved wife Karianna yelled irritatedly at our daughter, placing her hands on her hips.“Coming, Mamma.” Our daughter yelled back enthusiastically patting her cat Dal then ran towards me to the dining table. As she knew only Papà can save her from her Mamma’s wrath.“Papà,” She squealed happily while sitting on the next chair beside me.“Why does La principessa di papà give a tough time to Mamma?” I asked her while handing her the glass of milk.“Because I love to tease Mamma.” She giggled saying that.“Now be a good girl and finish your Milk.” She nodded and gulped down the whole glass of milk in one go.“Aah! Finish Papà.” She wiped her mouth with the back of her palm and handed me back the empty glass.“Now, have these boiled eggs and chicken soup.” Karianna pushed the bowl of soup and one plate of pieces of boiled eggs.Isabella was enjoying her breakfast and I was enjoying
AURELIA…..I wanted to talk to Mom but her phone was switched off. Everything was going against me. I called Dad to ask about Mom and he told me she had left the house tomorrow and she strictly told him not to disturb her. I was confused at his words and it took everything in me to hold back myself asking Dad about her and Alpha Ziven’s relationship. I didn't want to hurt him by reminding him of the past.After some time Gamma Leo called me to inform me that Mom is in here. She looked mad and went towards Jason’s study room seething in rage. Did she find out about him bringing his mistress to the house? But how? Maybe, she had a spy here to give her every update.I don't care even if she beats him, I just don't want her to disclose my pregnancy to Jason. I ran out to look for Mom. My heart was pounding hard the more I was getting close to the study room.“You have no idea what you have done, Jason. I didn't know you had so much hatred for me in your heart.” Mom’s harsh voice skated do
AURELIA…..“I, Aurelia Davenport, reject you, Alpha Jason West, the Alpha of the Dark Forest Pack as my Mate and Alpha.” I thought to say the very words and end our bond right here, right now. But I was pregnant and I can't be selfish and risk my baby’s life over my happiness.“Who is she?” I asked him, eyeing the girl deadly.“My girlfriend.” He shamelessly answered me and what pained me most was there was no ounce of remorse in his eyes. I wanted to slap him again but I restrained myself.“Why? Wasn't I enough for you? Did I fail to satisfy you? Am I bad in bed? Am I not sexy? Why did you have to get yourself a girlfriend when you have your wife? How do you want to explain this, Alpha Jason? Do you want to give me an explanation here or in your room?” I crossed my arms against my chest, holding back my tears. I didn't want to break down in front of him to give him the satisfaction that he could break me.“Because I fell out of love. I don't feel what I feel around her. I know you ar
