Aurora:My heart raced against my ribcage as I processed what Dante just said, and brushing his lips against mine only made it harder for me not to press mine against his. It wasn’t until the office’s door was knocked that the two of us pulled away from each other, snapping out of the trance that we fell into. Dante looked at the door and nodded at me to take a seat, a small smirk making its way to his lips as he noticed my flustered state.“Come in” he called, watching as Yelina, one of the employees, came in with a few files in her hand. “Boss, these files need Ms. Aurora to check on them before you approve of them…”“Thank you, Yelina, you can put them on the table there. We would send them back to you once we’re done” Dante said, stopping her. She nodded and put the files on the table, as instructed before walking out of the office, leaving us both alone. Dante walked toward the files and standing up from my chair, I took a deep breath before walking toward the table to check wh
Dante: “Why do you keep insisting on dropping me off at home?” Aurora asked, turning to look at me. “I know that you don’t have a car, and it’s only logical that you don’t go home with a cab when I have a car parked up front. Plus, you literally stayed at work to finish work along my side” I said, keeping my eyes on the road as I held the steering wheel. “Yeah, but most of the employees tend to stay a while…” “Most of the employees are not my mate, Aurora” I said, stopping her “regardless of everything, you still are my mate and I wouldn’t like to know that you are riding a car with a stranger in the middle of the night. Cab or not, the man could easily hurt you, and I know that you can defend yourself, but I would rather not put you in a position where you would have to do so in the first place” Aurora waited until we stopped in front of a traffic light before unbuckling her belt, making me frown in confusion; however, my frown quickly disappeared when she connected her lips wi
Aurora:“I made us hot cocoa” I said, entering the living room with a tray of two mugs of hot chocolate. I handed Dante his mug before setting the tray down on the coffee table and sitting beside him, crossing my legs on the couch under me as I leaned against the armrest.“Thank you” Dante said, holding his cup in his hands for a second before holding it in his right, resting the mug on the arm rest of the couch.It was a while past one in the morning and the two of us had finished taking our showers and having our dinner. We were currently sitting in the living room while we waited for the storm to die down. However, judging by the sound of the thunder outside, it didn’t seem like it.“I already set the room, Dante, are you sure that you don’t want me washing your clothes for you to get some rest. The two of us are not blind and I can tell that this storm is not going to die down any time soon” I said, looking out the window. Dante sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before noddi
Dante:I wrapped my arms around Aurora, turning her to face me as she grew flustered. And leaning in, I was sure to keep my moments slow in case she chose to want to pull away, her heart racing against her ribcage as she fought to stay calm. Her cheeks reddened and brushing my lips against hers, I couldn’t help but let out a low growl of satisfaction “now is your last chance to pull away, neonata…”I expected her to do so, but standing on her toes, Aurora connected her lips with mine in a soft and gentle kiss. I cupped her cheeks, my hand gentle against her soft cheek. She didn’t deepen the kiss, silently asking me to take charge and pressing my lips against hers, I lowered my hand down to her waist, pulling her away from the sink as I walked toward the living room. “Would you prefer us being here? Or do you want to take things to the bedroom?” I asked, pulling away to look her in the eye. Our chests rose and fell with each breath we took, and fisting my shirt, Aurora pulled me towa
Aurora:“I was wondering where you were” Dante whispered, kissing my cheek from the back. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his bare chest as I ironed his white shirt.“I did tell you that I was going to prepare your clothes for work last night” I said, putting the iron down, my wolf purring in satisfaction as a smile formed on my lips. Dante kissed my cheek one more time before unwrapping his arms and standing beside me.“I didn’t really expect you to be awake this early in the morning though”“It is eight, Dante, we have work in an hour and a half…” I said, turning off the iron to hang his shirt alongside his trousers and jacket. I walked toward him, and standing on my toes, I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist, pulling me closer “and by the time we shower, have a decent breakfast, and get ready, it would be almost time to leave”Dante smirked, leaning in, his lips brushing over mine for a second before he pecked them. “We can have br
Dante:“You two seem to be in a very weird good mood” Leonardo said, looking me in the eye, studying my expression. I chuckle at his words, shaking my head as Aurora’s face popped in my mind, making me smile. The way I found her ironing my shirt earlier this morning, and the way she smiled. Despite offering to take her out for breakfast, she surprised me when I found out that she actually prepared cold sandwiches for us to eat a while before I woke up and had them sitting in the fridge. I planned on changing the initial plan to us having lunch together later, but she is yet to know that.“Let’s just say that we managed to work a few things out between us”“You slept with her, didn’t you?” Leonardo asked, seeing as I smirked while reading through my emails. He laughed when he saw my expression, and shaking my head at him, I didn’t bother looking up at him as I recalled our night.The way she tightened her hand and trusted me to not hurt her. I didn’t know what her past was, but judgin
Aurora: I woke up to fingers running through my hair. My eyes fluttered open and I couldn’t help but frown when I noticed that I was inside a bedroom, and not mine. Dante, who was actually running his fingers through my hair, sat on a chair beside me, looking at me, studying my expression. “Hey” he whispered, his tone softer than it had ever been. “Hi” I said, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I frowned at the headache that I got, and closing my eyes again, I tried to soothe the pain in my temple as I rubbed it slowly “how long have I been asleep?” “It’s around seven at night, but don’t worry, there wasn’t much to be done anyway” he said gently. I sat up, frowning when I realized that he let me sleep throughout the whole working day; however, he didn’t seem to be annoyed by that. “Dante, I could have helped you get the things done…” “You were exhausted as it was, and I didn’t have the heart to wake you up” he said, getting up from the chair to sit beside me. I looked down at the
Dante:“How did you take me to your house without waking me up?” Aurora asked as she laid on my chest. I had my arms wrapped around her as I tried to distract her from what she told me earlier. It was the last thing I wanted her to think about right now.“I dismissed all the employees a little early today, and made sure that they were all out before carrying you out. I wanted to take you home but figured that you would be startled when you realized that I was in here by myself. Plus, there’s also the fact that I didn’t have any clothes at your house…” I teased Aurora, tickling her waist. She laughed and curled up, trying to pry my hand away.“You could have woken me up, you know. I wouldn’t have been such a fuss…”“I already told you, you were exhausted as hell and I didn’t have it in me to wake you up. Plus, I wanted you to be comfortable about opening up and talking. I could tell that whatever it was that was bothering you, it wasn’t an easy thing to just easily talk about; therefor
Leonardo:Fifteen years ago:“Leo, you shouldn’t be disrespecting your Alpha!” Angelina said, snapping at me. I had to fight letting out a low growl at the woman who wouldn’t even listen to me. The fact that she just assumed that I was disrespecting him simply because I was responding to him was something that I couldn’t get my head around, but then again, as mom always told me, he was her son, and I wasn’t. “I did not disrespect him! He was the one who yelled at me” I snapped, making mom growl in warning. And that was when I snapped “why don’t you ask me what happened? Why did you just assume that I disrespected him? He left ME to be bullied while he went back to Elena, and I asked why he didn’t help”“Would he have left his little sister to get hurt?” Angelina asked “the girl is six, and SHE was the one who was bullied, if you had defended her, it is because it is your duty. If that is something that you cannot get inside your head, why are you considering yourself her older brothe
Dante: “Are you sure that this is the first thing you want to do after being away from home for the past month?” I asked Alessandro who smirked as he crossed his arms over his chest. He looked at mom who smiled and nodded, knowing that he would be coming to her when he was done. “Yes, I have a few things to catch up on later, but for now, there is a little mosquito that I want to get rid of” he said, making me chuckle. I nodded and Alessandro, Nicolas, and I walked toward the cells. I knew that Aurora was in the house making us something to eat before I came, and we would be having the first family dinner together, as literally one family, for the first time since Alessandro was shot. Alpha Sebastian, who has something that he wants to tell Nicolas and I, was also here. Thankfully, we had an idea about what he was going to tell us, but being an Alpha, and Elena’s brothers above all, he knew that he needed to speak to us first before proceeding with anything. Seeing as I had no reaso
Eva: I stared at Madam Clara who was holding my child in her arms, trying to convince myself that this was not just a dream, and I won’t wake up not finding my son in front of me. “I named him Marcellus, Marcel for short” she said “I remember you telling me that you wanted to name him that when you were first pregnant if the baby was a boy” “How?” I asked, trying to stop my tears from falling from my eyes. Maria, who was sitting beside me, wrapped her arm around me as she pulled me to her chest, trying to comfort me. “Alpha Sebastian got us out that night. It turns out he lived in the same building at the time, and just as he was trying to escape the fire, he heard our voices. He broke the door and came inside. I don’t even know how he managed to get us out without getting any of us killed. But I remember waking up around a month or so later, with him holding Marcel in his arms, and looking at me in the hospital bed. I had lost consciousness during the fire” she said, making my he
Aurora: “Aurora, he’s opening his eyes, you can relax” Dante said, wrapping his arms around me from the back, stopping me from pacing as we waited in the waiting room. “What?” I asked, turning around to face him, hoping that this wasn’t something that I just imagined. “Your dad is waking up, the nurse just told me. They’re taking him to his room now, then we can go and see him” he said, and wrapping my arms around him, I hugged him tightly as tears fell from my eyes before I could stop them. Having changed the wedding dress to clothes that Maria bought for me, I was now wearing sweatpants and a white crop top and Dante’s suit jacket. He and Nicolas rolled their shirt sleeves up, and we’ve been here throughout the night, waiting for good news to come. “It means he’s fine, right? They’re not going to need to send him to the ER again…?” “Aurora, breathe, neonata” he whispered to me, stopping me “he is fine. The bullet didn’t touch his heart, and the lost blood, they donated to him,
Dante: I smiled as the doors opened, revealing my mate who was walking out wearing her beautiful white wedding dress. Alessandro had his arm looped with hers, and the smile on her face could be seen a mile away under the beautiful white veil she wore. Alessandro’s eyes met mine and he smiled, both happy and proud of the two of us for making such a choice. I knew that he was also happy that he, at least, got to have a chance of taking one role of a father, considering that he had lost so much time and had missed so much in his daughter’s life. Mom’s eyes met mine and the smile of proudness that was on her face was one that I would never forget, and looking at Nicolas who stood beside me as my best man, I smiled, thankful for the man who has entered my life so suddenly but changed so much about me. My brother, someone that I knew that I could at least lean on when I felt weak, and the best part was, he didn’t do it for anything in return, for once, I met a person who was being genuin
Aurora: My heart raced against my ribcage as I walked out of the dressing room, wearing my wedding dress. Anastasia, Eva, and Elena, who were my bridesmaids, gasped when they saw me. And catching sight of my reflection, I couldn’t help the tears that formed in my eyes. I never thought that I would ever live to see this moment, especially being a wolf, we didn’t really have weddings. “No, no, you are not going to ruin your makeup with your tears” Eva said, wiping my tears from my eyes before they fell. Her eyes met mine and I smiled, wrapping my arms around her, thankful for the help that she and the girls showed me. These were things that a girl mostly did with her mother and sisters, I was blessed with sisters of choice. “Thank you for today” I said, pulling away from the hug to look at the girls “all of you, I swear I don’t know what I would have done if it weren’t for you being there for me” Elena and Anastasia hugged me, and I smiled as tears fell from my eyes. And catchin
Nicolas: “Well, tonight went well” Eva said, smiling as we entered the house. The two of us have been sharing a house at the pack, mostly because we were growing closer with each passing day and I was growing both more attached to and protective over her. “Yes, thankfully” I said, running my fingers through my hair as I looked at her, admiring her. Her curves made my blood travel south where I really didn’t need it to right now. Having found her, I was sure not to touch another woman so as not to come home with a love bite or a female’s scent, fearing that she would grow upset. And respecting the fact that she might not want to rush things, especially after how she lost her mate. I wanted her to be sure that she wanted to be with me. My heart raced, and turning toward the room, I knew to dismiss myself before she caught the boner, and plus, it was not like she was going to say anything else anyway. Unless Nico Sandro was around us, she rarely ever opened a conversation; therefore,
Dante: “Dante!” Aurora laughed, trying to escape my grasp as I tickled her. The two of us were laying on bed, naked, need I add, and I was growing a little excited for my mate. “Yes, mi amor?” I asked, biting her earlobe, my voice above a whisper, making sure that my breath hit her neck. She giggled, trying to muffle her moan, of course, that didn’t work. I purred, and lowering my face to her neck, I kissed her sweet spot, gently sucking on it before turning her around, making her lay on her back as I hovered over her body. Her eyes met mine, and I smiled, running my finger over her cheek before I leaned in to kiss her. My beauty, having turned her on, spread her legs for me to settle between them, and smirking, I did as she desired. Her hips moved upwards, grinding against me, and it was seconds later that I pulled away from her lips to rest my forehead against hers and position myself at her entrance. She gasped before her back arched as I thrust into her, making sure to be as
Giovanni: “The fancy proposal of ‘The Billionaire D’Angelo’ to his lover and girlfriend Aurora” I read out loud, rolling my eyes as I read the news. I tapped my fingers on the armrest twice as the picture of Dante on his knee in front of Aurora as she looked at the ring as he placed it in her finger. I folded the newspaper that I was reading before throwing it aside, and shaking my head at how things got to where they were; however, it wouldn’t be long before their perfect love story ended. I just needed to find the perfect timing to do it. “Boss, she is losing it again” Santos, my new second hand, said, entering my office. The man did not bother knocking on the door, not that he needed to, the door was wide open considering that no one, aside from him, dared approach this room to begin with. I sighed and got up from my chair, picking up the newspaper and taking it with me, knowing that it would be the perfect chance, before heading toward Gabriella’s room where she was locked an
