AURORA-“Listen lady, I don’t want to kill you, just leave before I change my mind. consider yourself forgiven for touching her but---” Zeus warned however got interrupted.“Touch her? I’ll kill her myself, if not today then tomorrow, but I will and you, or your pets, none of them will be able to stop me…” she sighed at the end, her words slicing my heart into pieces, all I want is to ease this pain but it’s not possible.“Azrael, throw her out. It’s because of her you managed to leave this mansion, or else you would still be locked behind those bars so, don’t let this rage get to yourself!!” he picked me up in his arms walking away.I hid my face inside Zeus’ chest, wanting to go blind to the bitterness of the truth, to the worst reality, I clenched his collar with both my hands, shivering from dread.Zeus seemed angry, a lot, since he didn’t talk to me. I stood before him as he tried to keep himself busy with work that I wouldn’t call as ‘work’ specially.Flipping pages before readi
AURORA-“Are we never gonna talk?” I sat down on the ground letting the sunlight set in. The apricity calming my senses down and I breathe in the heavenly air.“…” was all he said, I coughed in embarrassment, “Hey drop that attitude and get your ass down here…” I commanded and he followed, frowning.I gasped, I saw Azrael frowning, I’m ready to die now. I smirked, “You know we’re friends, right?” I elbowed him with a slight smile.“…” was all he said, I mean say something. “Azrael, why break a bond because of something that’ll never happen?”He looked at me, but then looked away, his gaze fixated at the ground picking the grass, he’s a kid, he’s such a kid.“You know its funny how you think we can go on without talking. Clearly, I have no intention of leaving this place---” I spurted nonsense but got intercepted by him.“Good, because I’ll leave… I’ve talk to Alpha and he agreed to it… I’ll be going back where I came from.” He’s talking to the grass, ignoring my existence, I liked the
AURORA-“Ugh!!” he groaned moving away and sat beside me. “You’re a primordial Aurora.” It seems like he has the answers about me that I was wondering.This ability to heal, “The strongest of our kind…” he looked in my eyes. But am I really strong? “Your power is at its peak on a full moon…”He continued, then the rest of the days I’m not? I'm weak 29 days a month? “I know what you’re thinking. Heh! You are strong but the full heightens your senses, your ability to see, to feel, to fight---”“To kill…” I cut him off, my eyes peering down at the floor, he couldn’t speak anything, his he’s probably trying to find words to ease this sudden environment.“Still the people you’ve killed are nothing compared to the one I’ve killed so far…” is this how he’s going to soothe this tension? By making himself feel more monstrous than me?A smile appeared at the corner of my lips listening to him act innocent while we were talking about death and murder.“When you left, I killed them, a lot of peop
AURORA-The flowers bloomed and his face cam into appearance, his white suit fitting the body like a glove.His absolute toned muscles making him look like an absolute God. His bangs falling in the front, and he ran his hands through his silky hair. All I saw in his eyes were tears, he face-palmed himself, not being able to stand it.His opened his mouth numerous to speak but the words dropped dead somewhere, he sniffled slowly walking in my direction. I grabbed the hem of my dress in nervousness.His steps making my heart beat, “W---What is a---all t---this?” he stuttered, a lot. He could barely slip words out his mouth.I saw his hands shivering, and it wasn’t from fear since I saw happiness falling like a waterfall from his eyes. “A---Aurora… just tell me this is a d---dream…” he sighed, holding my hands.“I said, I’d make you happy… I’ll be worthy of your love…” tears ran down from my eyes, his hands cupped my face pulling me closer. I’m afraid he’ll kiss me before I even confess
ARTHUR-“The bleeding has stopped already; you’ll be fine now…” I wrapped her wound with bandages, every beautiful girl would fall for an asshole while,A pure diamond is in front of her. I'm not calling myself a diamond but that Dustin Alfredo is too rustic that I outshine him without much of a stress.I plopped my body down on the couch lying around, “Just go to sleep… no one’s gonna hurt you now…” I stood back up walking to the bathroom. I splashed hefty amount of water on my face, I removed my shirt and came out.“What are you looking at? Just close your eyes, you’ll sleep automatically…” I sighed; however, she didn’t listen.Her eyes carving my soul out, none of us moved, as my legs have been paralyzed and her eyes have lost their vision.I fixed my throat, she’s not mine… yet. I can’t, I took a huge breath and thumped my body down. Her eyes were closed now, thank God.She seemed so scared earlier, I wonder what that asshole did to her. My phone chimed and I looked at a few more
ARTHUR-“But you touched what’s mine…” I grabbed his collar, his filthy black eyes quivering in fear, he wants to look away but the red in my eyes stops him.The gaze, that scares him and I get even more angrier that Halsey fell for this lump. A fucking coward, he’s gonna die in my hands.“Dustin Alfredo…” I saw dread in his eyes, he was shivering like a lamb, why is it no fun? It feels like he’ll die. I loosened his ropes setting him free.“Fight me… now!!” I walked two steps back, he didn’t budge, he’s still scared but I want some fun before I crush him. Perhaps I want to see him begging.I lunged forward and slammed my fist against his stomach, it was fast enough for him to move but slow enough for him to see it as well, he’s just shit piled up together forming Dustin Alfredo.“So, apparently, you can only hit those who are weaker than you…” I gritted my jaw, my eyes burning from extreme rage, like I'm going to burn him alive.“I’ll tell you everything that you’re wondering about…”
ARTHUR-“Aren’t you angry?” I stopped him and he turned abruptly.“Angry? While you kill people? Isn’t that what we do?” yeah, sure. But it felt oddly strange when I did it for my own gain. Is that the only reason though?He went back to his work and I to mine, it’s just a murder, a human I loathed, a guy whose existence I loathed and nothing else.“A---Arthur… do you mind?” Azrael dragged me by my hand and took me to my office. “What is it?” my grumpy voice couldn’t hide my frustration.“The girl Halsey… w---who is she?” he questioned. He’s not someone who’d meddle with anyone’s work uselessly.“What did you find about her?” I scratched my head, and he laughed at how quick-witted I was.“Nothing… other than her falling for the enemy. I’ve been tapping her and something seems off about her.Something, you say. It’s everything, everything about her is off and I’d be dumb not to notice it but then I’d be lying if I didn’t want to go blind about it.“What?” I crossed my arms, the blood o
ARTHUR-“Your b---brother?” I pulled her hand hiding her behind me. I don’t care… since when brothers are kissing their sister this weirdly?“I don’t need your permission, you’re nothing to me.” he jerked her hand off of mine and moved away. I want to kill… someone.“But you killed Dustin… why?” her brother interfered; I froze. Why? If only I knew, why did I do it?“Yeah… Dustin… don’t you feel any remorse for his death?” I turned my gaze back to Halsey; she froze as well. Her eyes wandering around, looking for something, answer probably.“What was your goal to approach him?” I strolled in her direction. “And you, since you know about their little affair…” I turned to her brother, Adam.“This must be a well formed planned… to what? Kill him? But why go through all that trouble of loving him when you can easily kill him…” I kept on looking in their eyes.“Well screw that… why did you approach me?” my words sent shivers down her spine. She looked at me, perhaps she didn’t expect me to b
AURORA-My body is aching, Zeus was merciless yesterday, and I believe I’ve slept for fourteen hours straight. No one bothered to wake me up, and I opened my eyes to find out that a new day has begun.I got up leaving outside, Zeus and I are finally together, and I loved every moment of it. I'm glad he didn’t hate me, I'm glad everything went well, despite the problems we had to go through.“No, no, no.” I heard the familiar voice and whatever sleep I had in my eyes vanished.“Elinor?” I shouted running toward the ground. The voice turned into laughter and I saw Elinor giggling with Zeus, both of them lying on the ground, as Zeus was tickling her.“Don’t ruin it.” my legs stopped on the voice and I turned to see Azrael standing before me.“H---how are you---”“How am I here?” Azrael muttered and walked in my direction. “it was time for me go out of the picture.”“What’s that supposed to mean?” I shivered just by his words.“Elinor found your wedding photos, Aurora. I couldn’t do much.
ZEUS-I love her, and my undying love for her knows no bound. But, I'm insecure, I'm insecure she’ll again choose whatever over me, and can I be blamed for that? Can she be blamed for that?My meanness and her kindness always clash, always. And I don’t believe in opposites attract but fuck. I am angry, jealous and dying every moment she looks at other man, even if it is Arthur, they are bonding way too much now, they need a fucking break.And I am angry because I can’t stay angry at her, so maybe I'm acting to be rude while I don’t give a fuck about my own pride, this girl ate me alive. And as much as I want to drag her to my room, I can’t.“Are you going to fill me up with your silence?” She is so nervous that the dark part of me is enjoying it very much, more than I should. “I wonder if Alfred should serve us today?” I posed a question again but she didn’t dare look at me. so apparently, me mentioning Alfred’s name was not much of a trigger.She wasn’t saying anything and it was now
AURORA-Three more days and nothing, we have nothing on our hand. Zeus is still unconscious, still very much the same, though he’s breathing and maybe healing, we see positive signs but I need more, more than that.We avoided war, not we, Alfred did it. He stopped him pack, the soul sorcerers, the Alpha or Kian for that matter didn’t come after me because Alfred chose to let me go. And they had to listen to him, everyone knew Alfred will single handedly kill the whole pack, or maybe cause severe damage if not that.Arthur is still dying with the pain, the loss of Halsey but nothing can’t be done. She and Dabria plotted against us, Dabria informed the soul sorcerers about my existence and that I have a daughter, she thought I have broken all ties with Zeus, which was right. And that I would have no backup.I am a mother now, and I want to say I get how she felt but I am a selfish mother. And she tried to take my daughter away from me, and nothing, nothing could make me angrier than thi
AURORA-“I knew you’d come back to me.” He smiled and I looked around to see if Arthur is here or not, I am being delusional, of course, he is not here. Alfred took care of him, them.“I didn’t come to you.” I say, without looking him in the eyes. Because I am embarrassed of my own self, of my own stupidity of breaking hearts though it is always intentional.And truth be told, this shouldn’t worry me even a bit, but it does, and it shatters me in ways I don’t expect. Alfred as a being is kind inside that coating of pretending to be callous, he is not cruel, or maybe not to me. Alfred deserves to be loved by someone who truly cares for him. I'm not that someone, I love Zeus and look at the damage I've brought to him, so what will happen to Alfred, who I don’t even love?“You’re not?” He tried to smile, I noticed the dark circles under his eyes, the sleepless eyes that wanted to shut off but he wasn’t allowing them to. The tiredness on his face and the glow of those amber eyes was lost
AURORA-I woke up, my eyes burning from the poison, probably the side effects of wolfsbane, but I was breathing and was back in our mansion.I was back home, safe and breathing, in my own room. The first thing I do is look for Zeus, I want to see him. his wound was closer to his already healing heart, plus that poison was made for primordial not a normal werewolf.My breathing went erratic, and I paused before entering his room. There was no sign of Elinor here, she was not back, and was safe with Azrael, this gave me some peace of mind and I gulped.I don’t want to have bad thoughts and barged in, my heart heaved a heavy sigh and it got stuck in my throat, I couldn’t move and only saw him lying lifeless on the bed.“Zeus---” I etched, my voice not coming out firm and my lips wobbled as I took a step not having energy to move further. I tried to smile, “Zeus, I know you’re angry with me.”I didn’t want to believe the sight before me, I was in denial and wanted to stay that way forever
ZEUS-Death? What is it? Death is the look Aurora had on her face when I let go of myself, when I said things, I wanted to regret but didn’t.When I said I hated her because for a moment I actually wanted it to be true, but I can’t, I can’t hate her. She will be the death of me yet I won’t be able to hate her, she gave this life a life so, why would I hate her if she takes it back?But only after Arthur’s taunting I realized that I was complete jerk for the girl who was again sacrificing again her happiness because of me, so that I can breathe, and I hated my life, myself to be this helpless.All the arrogance I had in me, about being the strongest, rigid and stout, it all crumpled into a piece of paper later on dumped into a bin.Aurora is forever gonna choose everything over me, saying it her duty to keep me safe, what am I doing? This girl lost her world, the beautiful life she had before she met me, I ruined it. I became the death of her happiness and yet she’s doing her best to k
AURORA-“Somewhere safe… for now?” Kian teased and my nerves tensed up with fear. The dread of happening something to Elinor made all the possibilities to think numb in my brain and I paralyzed.I looked at Alfred who promised to keep Elinor out of it had nothing to say, but for some reason, he was just as shocked as I was however, I wasn’t foolish enough to believe him, or his fake reaction.“I always love having an upper hand, especially when Alfred is dumb enough to gladly listen to all the ranting you do. we wanted power and fear in our enemy’s eyes gives us that.” Kian almost snorted.“You are of no use, we need soldiers and not those who defy us. You became a rebel the day you stood up before me, we don’t want that shit. Henceforth, I’ll train Elinor or I’ll kill her there’s no third option.“W---what happened to Azrael?” I gasped for air, I failed, like every time I failed and nothing, nothing went my way, I failed.“He’s alive… barely. So, either you back off or see her die. W
AURORA-“Hurry, we need to leave.” He muttered panicking.“M---Mirage and Ian, they’re inside.” I say still looking down on the ground, processing the reality.“Don’t worry about them, they escaped too---”“Where will we go? They will come after us, he will come after me, he will kill you. no---, Zeus you have to go back.” I shiver merely from the thought of seeing Zeus de---.“Aurora stop being like this and just come home.” “He’ll make sure, I don’t have a home. This is bad.” “Aurora, I'm trying to fight here for you, I don’t want my daughter to live without a mother, when she clearly has one. Do you get it? I'm not as strong as them, but I have the power of love, now stop looking down on me and just hold my hand, dammit. My pride has a limit too.” I looked up as he extended his hand, worry cascading his face, his eyes glowing, mine as well, I missed him and he’s before me.I got up and hugged and firmly, my whole body trembled under his touch and my dead soul awakened. I missed h
AURORA-It’s here, my death, my end, standing and the door and I just invited it in. I'm here sitting in this wedding gown which feels more like a death bed.I'm getting married to Alfred Hestia, in order to survive, in order to see those who I love breathe, I love Zeus, and I miss him, I just want to see him one last time and could even trade my life for his one look.I feel my bones shattering just as my will and Zeus is my only redemption. “Come here…” Alfred pulled me closer, his eyes fixated at mine and whenever I look away, he forces my gaze back to him.His eyes are making me feel naked, the way he looks at me, and the way he licks his lips like he wants to devour me, his smile tells me how victorious he feels right now, and his laugh is like he gives no shit about this world.I didn’t take up on the fifth tier, it was a good thing I didn’t see Mirage here. He probably listened to me, and I'm glad he did so. All I see is one vow and the Aurora who smiled, the Aurora who lived w
