AURORA-A white dress, drenched in my sweat, a white suit, drenched in his sweat. Both of us panting as we managed to escape the fashion show.We forgot to click photos, but made memories as our bodies collided. As our soul became one and a sacred bond formed under the light of the stars.That white dress, drenched with my blood, that white suit, drenched with his blood. A knife through our chest and the sacred bond severed.This was all I could remember as Azrael handed me over the photos. Memories he clicked, memories he triggered and I threw them away on floor.A wedding gown reminds me that I will never wear it, I can wear it. Because I see happiness walking away from me.My hands are sweaty, my grip is loose and I can’t hold on it. My dreams are fake and because they can never make it into reality.I see the photos of us smiling as we storm through the ramp, where has that smile gone? Where is has that time gone? When we confided in each other and now we hide from each other?We
ZEUS-I saw her leave, and I knew I wouldn’t stop her. She’s a flower that’s better off alone on the ground than stay in a broken vase like me.I didn’t follow her however my knees weakened and I found myself crawling on the floor for the air. I couldn’t look up, Aurora left and I couldn’t do anything about it.I didn’t want to; I don’t want to hold her back. I have always wanted a daughter, just like her but now that my wish is front of me, I'm scared.I'm scared I’ll consume her light, I’ll ruin her childhood, I am not a good human being let alone a good dad.I don’t know what kindness is, I don’t know what affection is and whatever Aurora taught me has gone down the drain…“Mr. Zeus…” I heard a voice; I looked up and my gaze fell on the ring in nurse’s hands. I looked away all of a sudden. Aurora gave it back and the ring on my own finger began to suffocate me.She handed it over to me with an apologetic face, its right, I am a problem. I need to be fixed, or maybe I come with no c
ZEUS-I open my eyes and six years have passed in a whim. I'm lying, it’s been exactly, two thousand two hundred and eighty days since she left me.And I miss her every second, every second my breath falls to rise up again I miss her and when I look around, I see nothing but emptiness. It has been six years of sleepless nights and infinite fights, within my mind.My souls seek her sight, I haven’t found her yet because I haven’t tried. I'm afraid to show up before her, not knowing how I’d act.I'm living on meds, apparently because I’d be dead otherwise. I had a series of panic attack after she left and Arthur forced me to go see her or go see a doctor of some sort.I chose the latter one, it’s less painful that way. So, my body functions on drugs and my conscience occasionally torments me.I haven't talked to my mother yet because I thought it was Aurora’s job to fix the bond between us but ever since she’s gone, I didn’t even look at my mother.Things are going smoothly, for others
ZEUS-Arthur prudently gave me Aurora’s address, and while my heart was wanting to pump out of my chest, I went inside.The lock rattled as I opened it wide, I don’t know what I'm doing here… I’m just afraid to let go of these feelings. I am eager to see how she is doing…without me.We are just two broken souls however mine is shattered to an extent where I couldn’t hold myself anymore. One news about her and I find myself running to see.As if something triggered me, it’s been six years since I haven’t seen her. Six years of imprisonment, living in a prison of my own mind.I look around, everything so beautiful and lively, just as Aurora is. White walls with beautiful peach curtains, matching sofa and the biggest kitchen ever, I wonder who cooks for her?Her house is so big, I bet she doesn’t miss me but on the off-end I'm happy for her. She managed to become successful alone.Without any support, I mean my support. Her house had her scent in every corner that made my insides shiver
ZEUS-“Alpha Zeus…”“Stop calling me Alpha… I'm nothing to you!” I roared with rage bursting out of my veins. He stood so formidable that it made my steps halt.I started leaving, my eyes didn’t want to look at him, my ears bled hearing his voice, I don’t know but this is so horrid, I wish I didn’t feel this way.“Her name is Elinor.” My steps stumbled into a halt. I didn’t want to turn around. The tears I kept hidden began streaming down my eyes and no matter how I tried, I couldn’t stop them.“I---I… h---have a p---photo of her! W---would you like to see it?” his words were only reminding me of how broke I am.I fell to my knees; I don’t have the strength to stand. Azrael thumped his body next to mine and we sat on the street unbothered of the vehicles passing by.“She’s just like Aurora…” he was being afraid of me, even I don’t know if I should lash out on him. He was there with Aurora when I wasn’t. When she needed me the most, I was busy keeping my thoughts in check.“She has tho
AURORA-“There’s a parcel for you!” Azrael placed a huge box before me. I stood up from the bed and smiled at it knowing what was there inside.I am living my dream and I couldn’t be any happier than this. I am what I have forever wanted to be. I rummaged through the box and took time to read each and every letter sent for me.I was just healing from my injury so I basically had nothing to do. My secretary wouldn’t bother me, she’s too kind to call me even if the company burns to ashes.If I had to thank anyone for my success, it should be Azrael, he was my knight who literally saved me from falling down the edge numerous times.The mood swings I had to go through killed me, and if not for him, I would’ve died with my unborn daughter long ago.And then the angel was born, the light of my darkness. I was crying when I first held her in my arms. Azrael was there with me, his hand in mine, he never for once let go of me.He quit the job he was working, being afraid I’d get the labor pain
AURORA-“Nothing happened…”“You’re hiding your eyes from me!!” I contradicted and stood up from the bed. My body had gotten used to taking rest since I haven't moved myself even for a bit.The pain travelled right from my legs through my spine the moment I put weight on them, I shivered and stumbled before I could make up my mind to walk.“Careful…” Azrael grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer, his hands tightly gripped around my midriff.Our eyes locked and I even forgot why I was yelling at him. Azrael has never for once tried to touch me without my permission however, I feel this ruined electricity arcing between us.But I'm scared, that this electricity will ruin lives, we aren’t meant to be together and finding our way against the law of nature, it feels like a treason I don’t want to commit.“Don’t put weight on it!” he whispered, his eyes on me and he lifted me up from the ground like I am a feather. He placed my body on the bed carefully, making sure none of my bones ha
AURORA-I went back home removing my fake casts and bandages. It was tiresome but I managed to control the issues at the firm.My house had a different aura, all of a sudden. I don’t know but it felt weirdly awkward. “Azrael…” I called his name out leaving my coat on the couch.My steps looking for them, “Elinor?” I couldn’t hear a single thud, not even movements. I tried to focus on my werewolf hearing but before I could…“Surprise…” I found them jumping with hats and party poppers. “What is all this?” I giggled removing the chunks from my head.“Happy recovery…” What a nice thing to celebrate. “You’re the only human whose age is decreasing by day...” I shrugged my shoulder and picked Elinor in my arms.“She insisted on eating out!” I just gave her a reason…” Archie defended himself and I knew where this was going. We were having a dinner outside.And no matter how tired I was, I couldn’t say no to the bright face who was eager to go out.I fastened the seat belt around Elinor and sa
