AURORA- “Are you kidding me?” I gasped, what is this? Is this how they’re gonna test me? “You’re obviously testing my patience…” I snorted trying to keep my calm. In no world they’d have my mother’s journal. “It’s a pity your father died even before you could properly walk into this world.” He knows enough, I’m scared. “This journal was found in your abandoned house, ever since Zeus claimed you to be his Luna, we’ve been finding things to test you with. And luckily---” I intercepted. “Enough, I’m not listening to your bullshit…”“So, you choose this child to die? And you won’t get to have your mother’s journal!! And you won’t become Zeus’ Luna.” He kept on adding points I wanted to go deaf for. “Burn this book, throw the child into the fire.” His hoarse voice made my steps halt. “I see you want to stay!!” the evil smile on his face, I looked around. “No, I don’t…” I shrugged; I don’t feel anything. People die, they’re born to die, it shouldn’t bother me. “You leave and Azrael
AURORA-“W---what do you mean?” I questioned the wide smile on his face, did I hear something wrong?“Zeus is ruthless enough, we don’t need a Luna like him, we needed someone kind, someone sympathetic.” He ruffled his hands through my hair sitting back on the chair.“Moreover, you’re right, Alaric ruined his son and I believe you’ll save Zeus from becoming the monster he seeks.” I gulped in nervousness.“What if I had chosen otherwise?” I gasped in awe, still understanding nothing.“We brought this child after we saw his parents throwing him out just because he couldn’t kill someone…” he explained crossing his legs.I looked at the boy beaming in happiness, as he hugged me with his little hands. “We decided to let him in and then you appeared…”“What if I had made the wrong choi---” he intercepted.“Then, I’m afraid, you would’ve failed, but I wouldn’t let anyone actually harm the child, no worries!!”I certainly did make wrong assumptions about this old man. Perhaps, he is kind like
AURORA-“Zeus… there’s a kid outside…” I try to stop him being ashamed, I move backwards as he’s growing nearer to my body.“Yes, and that kid is alone, he needs a friend to play with perhaps, let’s make one!!” heat rose up to my cheeks, I don’t want to hear this but it’s making my heart flutter.“I’m so happy you impressed Fridolf” he uttered and I sat up straight.“What if I had failed, or if I fail other tests?” I questioned.“It doesn’t matter, no one can steal you from me, you’re mine, that’s it. I'm the Alpha and I make the rules here…” he’s making it sound like these tests don’t matter.“The pack respects their Luna if they pass these rituals, that’s it. And currently the pack is really angry from you for what---” he stopped not wanting to hurt my feelings.“I’ll win their trust back…” I looked down at the bed, his eyes sparkling, and he hugged me tightly.“I’m not forcing you; I’ll tell my pack to listen to your orders as well and they will but, it won’t come from their heart.
AURORA- “Do you want me to come with you?” Zeus grabbed my hand as I was about to leave. I shook my head, “I need to do this alone… she hates me probably.” I buried my face in his chest and kiss him on his cheeks before leaving. “Do you not like to sleep?” I asked as Azrael didn’t have any time to sleep. The darkness of moon was making me yawn. I was exhausted, from everything, the ritual and ‘things’ that happened with Zeus. I blushed looking away. “You can sleep, I’ll wake you up when---” I intercepted.“Yeah, please do…” I yawned one last time before closing my eyes. I fell asleep in a whim, not knowing the reason was it because I was exhausted or because Azrael played a soothing music making me feel drowsier than ever. I felt the wind brushing my cheeks, my body getting cold from it and sensed someone wrapping me in a blanket. It was warm now, something around me was happening but I was too asleep to open my heavy eyes, I let go of myself. “A… ora… rora… Aurora?” I heard m
AURORA-“Why would you do that?” Azrael yelled at me. “She asked for your life and you gave it up like nothing.”“Azrael, I don’t care what master you serve but, you don’t get to judge my decisions specially when they only affect my life.” I shouted back being devastated of the choice I made.“Of course, I’ll tell you what’s wrong and right…” he pinned me against the tree before I could even retreat and save myself.His elbow blocking me, his eyes in mine, he wasn’t looking away from them anymore. I could see them turning red bloodshot, rage and fear, anguish and pain everything in them.I tried to push him away, but his other hand stopped every possible movement I could make. I panted loudly while grunting.“W---what do you think you’re doing?” it’s not him, the Azrael I knew.“I know, you might’ve hated this world but you don’t anymore…” he panted as well, his breath brushing away the sorrow on my cheeks.“You are kind and people use it and you’re too kind to even notice.” He hid hi
AURORA- “Azrael…” I was already burning with rage, if this man tries to harm me, I’ll kill him without flinching however, he took me to Azrael and where that kid was. “Who are you?” I sat beside Azrael who was undergoing treatment with a doctor. “He--- he is C---” Azrael choked blood before he could complete his sentence. “I’m Conri…” the man introduced himself, “the second of the quintet.” He continued. “Test me whenever but, not now. A member of my pack is injured, there’s kid---” I tried to speak but my eyes went wide as I realized. “This was your plan?” I gasped not believing the words falling out of my mouth. His lips curved into a smile, and he nodded. “I’ve never been proud. The men I sent after you told me, that you vowed not to turn.” He snickered and I peered down at the floor. I wasn’t even thinking about that I failed the test, but this dumbass of a quintet used a child for his own business. “I wanted to see what you’ll do when you’re bound by vows and your morals.
ZEUS-The thing going on with Aurora is at most distracting me from the void I felt after killing my father.But it’s given me other problems to think about. The news about his demise hasn’t spread yet because if it does, I’m afraid Aurora will get really furious.No matter how much she hates my father, she loves me enough to let me see my asshole of a father breathe.“What happened in the woods, tell me everything.” I stood before Azrael who wasn’t matching eyes with me.His eyes were selling him off and I knew something was fishy, Aurora is already in shock from what life is making her face, what I am making her go through.“Azrael, you got three seconds before I slit your throat…” I’m lying, it might be an empty threat but I’m desperate to know.“I’ve fallen for her, Alpha.” He knelt on the ground, his eyes staring at the ground. My insides shuddered as soon as his words fell in my ears.What now? “Wh---What did you say?” I stumbled on my own words, like I forgot all the 26 alphabe
AURORA-I run away, Azrael must've told him, he’s too honest. Zeus’ anger, no one knows it better than me. I can’t even look at Azrael.There’s nothing I can but feel helpless, I’m the problem, I say nothing,I wish could feel nothing as well.This is just too much, I see the doctors giving up, they came out with heads staring at the floor. All three of us rush to know what’s happening.“We’ve taken the bullet out but, if he doesn’t wake up soon, I’m afraid he’ll land in coma.” The doctor sighed leaving.Zeus’s eyes on me and I look away, I don’t know yet what to feel. This gun in his hands is creating a huge wall between us.We wait, we wait,for hours, we see the sun setting down but none of us thinks of moving our asses up. As if sitting here would heal him.“Azrael…” I heard an old, wrinkly voice. The chef!! He’s here. I want to hide before me blames me. I want to jump into a deep ocean.“A---alpha… where’s Azrael?” I see tears in his eyes as he pleads before him. “What did my so
