AURORA- “Lying to Alpha, manipulating Alpha’s to-be-Luna, playing with Alpha’s beta Azrael’s life, should I add more to the sins your quintet Boris committed?” Zeus clenched his fists. “And now, pointing weapons at the Alpha, harming his Luna, killing the Alpha’s pack, should I add more the sins you committed?” I feel him growing nearer as he starts speaking. I know he’s scared, but it’s something only I can see, but no one has ever touched his soul like I have. “And punishment is death just like Boris… don’t worry because I’ll grant it… soon but, trust me, it won’t be fast. It’ll be nice and slow to compensate for her tears and blood, her precious blood.” Zeus doesn’t give empty threats, he’ll burn the world alive, I see it in his eyes, but I believe I won’t be conscious or alive perhaps to see it. I want to kill this man myself before Zeus does but, some part of me is tired and hates my existence, so I just want to let go maybe, that’s the only thing I’m good at. Letting go,g
AURORA-“Who do you think you’re talking to like this? Do you want your head chopped off?” Zeus snarled, his hands in mine.The crowd went quiet, Zeus’ angry eyes were enough to make their mouth sealed, but I didn’t want this. respect is earned and all I’m doing is taking advantage of the fact that Alpha is in love with me.“Do it…” I stepped forward. “Please choose the strongest among you, if you can even shed a single drop of blood from my body, I’ll let you kill me.”Zeus’ gaze on me, he believes in me, however is still scared. The crowd began murmuring, they’re doubting it now. They must've known the piles of bodies I create on that full moon.But it only happens on a full moon, so I don’t know what my true potential is. I’d lose faith in Zeus’ army if they couldn’t even manage to scratch me.But I can’t take my words back, and maybe I want them to harm me, to kill me. “Come here…” Zeus drags me into a corner, his voice too low for the werewolves to hear.“Do you think I don’t kn
AURORA-I look at Zeus, the smirk on his face is gone. “Ms. Aurora… are you ready for stage two? Or do you need some break?”The old man asks again, its Zeus team, honest and wise and I couldn’t have thought about them otherwise. I smile, “that was for starters, I’m looking for a fucking main course…”I snap my neck, waiting for someone to pop out from the crowd, and he did. Another tall, broad and husky figure, “Silas…”I smirked and his steps halted, maybe because I know his name as well, I’m glad I worked into this. The adrenaline rushes inside my body, and I’m about to burn this world.“The people under me would be all yours to rule, to kill, to have someone killed, if you best me…”He shifted from his human form; I grabbed the sword from Zeus’ hand running at Silas. The werewolf lunged at me with its razor-sharp claws.But I was ready, my sword met its claws with a fierce clash, and the werewolf stumbled back from the force.I brought my sword up to the werewolf’s neck and he sna
AURORA-I wanted to escape from his hand grabbing my throat, his hand pinning me down, I felt blood trickling out of the cloth and the knot loosened.The bandage came out with his hand as I pushed him away and stood right back up. His eyes met Zeus’ glare; he looked down at the ground doing nothing for a while.“Don’t go easy on me, I won’t be worthy that way…” I gave him time to come back out his anxiety. He looked at me and then at Zeus again.“Don’t look at him, do you want a failed Luna to rule you?” I can’t let Zeus manipulate him. I’ve been a jerk all this time.Now, I have to do something to prove myself, I turned my gaze at Zeus threatening him to not make this battle unfair.He sighed looking away, his gaze telling me, ‘Do whatever you want but I’ll kill him if he hurts you again’.I’m so sure, I’ll have this man beside me even if the world is burning or melting away into ashes, to know that he’ll become the umbrella when it rains, a island if in I’m drowning in the ocean.I
ZEUS-[“Zeus… come I’ll show you something.” My dad grabbed my hand, I was alone, I am alone. my father says my mother is gone, and it’s been five years and she isn’t back yet.I want to know where she is, so, that I can go meet her, hug her, but it’s not possible, I’m just five years old and can’t go out on my own.Dad will kill me, and I’m scared of him. I manage to laugh, sometimes, but smiling takes a toll on my body so I try to act indifferent to all those feelings.I was only adapting to it slowly, “Hold it…” he handed a huge sword almost my weight to me, my legs stumbled however, my curious eyes wanted to know it was.I tried a hold it but couldn’t handle its weight and sliced my own arm, that’s when I realized that it is a very dangerous thing and I threw it away.“It hurts…” I cried, my arm bleeding but instead of showing some love my father pressed the wound with his fingers.“This is the pain you need to grow up with…” he roared, I hissed trying to break free, but failed. H
AURORA-He’s been acting weird, ever since last night. He didn’t open his eyes or something but I can roughly guess that he remembers that nightmare.And not matter how hard he’s trying to make it seem like nothing’s going on, I can tell, he’s suffering. His smile seems fake and forced.What happened? I really want to know what caused it, why is he suffering? That night, his behavior in the car, it was something I shouldn’t have overlooked.Everywhere I go, I find myself blaming for things. How am I good for him? How am I any good than his father?His father…Zeus’ father, he must have the answers. He should, he might be the one triggering his trauma. But am I ready to meet him and act cool?Too bad I want to kill him but, it’ll ruin the bond, Zeus and I have, it’s already on the verge of shattering.But what good am I if, I don’t overcome this need to kill him and talk to Alaric like a human, in decency. I have to do it.I stomp upstairs, my heart beat dropping as quickly it rises up
AURORA-“Hey… Zeus… it’s me… Aurora…” I stood back up, my hands around his waist. He was having another attack/ seizure, I don’t know what to call it.Why is it so frequent, he’s an Alpha, he can’t heal? But again, healing is all physical, it’s the will that restore all mental wounds.“Let me go…” he roared putting his own hand on his throat, he’s choking himself, why? I wish I had… fuck with your regrets, do something.I embraced him tightly, my head buried deep inside his chest, “Easy… there there, calm down…” it’s slow, gradually the speed of his heart race is decreasing.I helped him remove his hand from his neck, I rub his back, “look t me…” my calm voice somehow made him calm as well.His breathing is still shallow, he’s looking at me but it feels like he is seeing right through me, a different dimension, a lost world, a lost kid… his childhood perhaps.“Come here…” I grab his hand taking him inside, I sat him down and hide his face in my chest. He is hugging me tightly, as if h
AURORA-That weird blood scent, it belonged to Alaric? Zeus killed his own father? I don’t know how or what to feel about it.Alaric was a true beast, but he his father and it’s normal to feel the loss and cry about it. He’s been hiding that pain, even from himself for so long, he needs to let it out, before this guilt consumes him.It was a long journey, a very long journey to bring us here, in the realty but again, I can’t send him back in the past, letting him live there, no.In order to stop having these nightmares, he needs to let go of this guilt.“Where is she?” I heard a familiar voice, my body automatically rushed towards it. I closed the door behind me gently not letting it ruin Zeus’ peace.He barely slept last night; I don’t want him to get disturbed again. I knew who this voice belonged to however, what I didn’t know was how to face it, the reality, the things I’ve been numbing my thoughts about.“Aurora Ogre…” another roar and I walked quickly. “Where do you think you’re
