AURORA- Zeus couldn’t stand before him, not even for a second. And my tears haven't got the time to dry, because they shed without knowing the notion of stopping. “Where is Zeus?” I roared again, he said I have a choice but I'm tied again, I have no reason to trust him. “Should you be thinking about him?” He appeared before me again, unbothered, indifferent and sprightly. His gaze met mine and I looked away even before he could smile. “He came here, which means he killed Heathen and Paxton, you will die too.” I grunted, I have never stopped trusting Zeus or his potential, and people like him, they are nowhere near his aura. “I am not Paxton, Aurora. But did you hear his heartbeat, it was faint.” He snickered. “Paxton did him good.” And he didn’t bother hiding his devilish laugh. “So, let me change the terms again.” He squatted before me. His eyes stopped at mine, and he didn’t bother looking away, holding my gaze hostage, I could hear his heart beating like crazy. “I will leave
ZEUS- I opened my eyes groggily, my head hurting like it just lifted thousands of tons. I couldn’t think straight and just recalled the moment where Alfred beat me to a pulp. “Z---Zeus…” Arthur whispered in the lowest voice possible, his body injured, with little to no healing. “You okay?” He muttered, I nodded and felt a horrendous painful sting behind my neck. My body is aching like crazy; I don’t remember me having this weak of a body. I don’t recall the last time I had an opponent, who were anywhere near my aura. This is the same except he’s stronger than me now. I forever wanted to find someone who’d be worth the fight, and Alfred, he seems like it. But the fact that he has Aurora captive, I can’t go crazy, but I am. Because I see it in his eyes, he is madly in love with her. So much, that he’s unable to control those desires coursing through his system, screaming to touch her. And it is making my blood boil, upon the thought of him touching her. My own stupidity is making m
AURORA- “No---no, nothing can be normal anymore. This is it.” I couldn’t look at him, my eyes were fluttering like a butterfly with broken wings. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I have entirely given up on the notion called love. Zeus and I, we can’t be together. I was stupid enough to believe in a world with harmony, tranquility and everything good in it. This is reality, and the darker it gets, the blacken the shadows turn. “Aurora… you can’t give up on me.” He stuttered, his eyes fluttering just as mine. It is taking everything within his soul not to cry. The rarest, the agonizing, his tears will shatter me entirely. “Zeus… you need to go with the will to never come back. I'm giving you Elinor, let her grow to the prettiest flower. Please I beg of you.” I mutter hunching on my bed, in the farthest corner, far away from Zeus. “Aurora, don’t push me away.” “It’s high time, you need to realize, we shouldn’t have even met. But things have happened, Zeus---” “Don’t
AURORA- “Aurora. Aurora---” This voice, this very voice. Zeus… I sprung up from the bed. My body is aching for his touch, his warmth. I looked around to see Alfred sleeping soundly, I didn’t dare move, I was too afraid of him. I--- “Aurora…” Another voice, Zeus is calling out for me. I removed the sheets off my legs gently not wanting to make any sound. I didn’t breathe in the fear of getting caught, but my heart was yearning for Zeus, I didn’t fear death, so what was Alfred. Who was Alfred? I gasped poking out of the window, the cold wind touched my face forcing me to go out. “Here…” Zeus grabbed my hand, his eyes red, red from crying? He cried? “Let’s go…” And at that moment I just wanted to escape not think anything about my daughter, or anyone for that matter. We looked around but found no one to stop us, adrenaline rushed in my veins like his essence and he hurriedly stormed out of this hell. I realized we were not at the official base of the soul sorcerers, so, was it perha
AURORA- “I, Aurora Ogre, hereby pledge to serve my undying loyalty toward the pack. I confirm every line written on the holy book of souls, and will always put my clan first.” My heart heaved; I couldn’t breathe. I was only looking at Alfred, a man, a beast dressed in all white, like every other werewolf in the crowd, but he just stood out exceptionally. Was it the aura he had? The pledge I took just now, it wasn’t prepared or something. They made me read every word of the said book, until my brain went numb, Alfred was all the while looking at me. He was wanting to eat me, he would eat me, if not for the crowd, no, if not for the vow he took. “Aurora Ogre…” I turned to the old man. His beard was longer than the waterfall itself, his eyes too small that I’d be shocked if he could see from them. His face was so wrinkled, so wrinkle, like a three-year-old shirt, that didn’t know any steaming. “We soul sorcerers, never break the vow, do you understand the consequences if you go agai
AURORA- “Aurora Ogre, do you agree to become the leader, taking the responsibility of fifth tier---” “No…” I replied cutting him off. “Do you understand what you’re doing?” The old man roared with fury. “Yes.” I sighed peering down at the floor. “I don’t want to be the leader of this tier. I'm sure there are many werewolves who are worthier of this position than me. I just have entered this pack; I don’t want to be loaded with responsibilities.” “Didn’t you say you loved power?” Kian muttered from the crowd. “What happened now? Are you disobeying the first order you get? Is this how you’re going to show your loyalty toward us?” He ran a finger through his burgundy hair and a smile rippled through his lips. “I'm not worthy of this p---”“Oh! How kind of you. I would very much like you to see as an insect sitting in the back, but no one, I repeat no one here says no--- your faithfulness is clearly amusing, Ms. Aurora.” “You want me to kill someone, I’ll do that, you me to die, I’l
AURORA-“Stop being a dick…” I hide my flustered reaction and try to act unbothered before him, but he is a damn assed beast, that he even caught the redness on my face.“Aurora, you enjoy seeing me vulnerable?” He whispered under his breath. I irked and tried to move away from him. “Stop me from going any crazier than I already am, babe.” His hands wrapped around my waist and I whimpered.I want him gone, miles and miles away from me. “Don’t touch me…” I say, my eyes squirming around trying not to focus at him, him who was exceptionally close to me.“You know it is our wedding tomorrow?” he stated the obvious, he made my blood boil by stating the obvious and I tried to move away.“I’ve called some people, they’ll come around seven, you need to select your dress, make sure it is pretty.” He tapped his head with mine. “But I know you’ll look pretty no matter what you choose, but since you’re going to marry none other than Alfred Hestia, you need to look lavish, not that you don’t look
AURORA-“Agatha, have you seen Auor---” “Don’t come in.” Agatha stopped Alfred from entering in the room. He snickers, “you don’t get to stalk in, she’s trying her wedding dress.” Agatha stood behind the door pressing her weight against it, like it would stop him from entering.I gushed inside the changing room, don’t know why? I would jinx this marriage with all my heart, yet here I am hiding behind a door.“Stop with your superstitions, I’m dying to see in that dress.” I heard him grunt and the lock rattled, I could feel it rolling down on ground, and he earned an unexpected gasp from Agatha.I clenched my fists, holding the dress tightly. “I'm changing, I don’t want you here.” I say from within the room. I close my eyes, my heartbeat pacing like crazy, I had no control over it. Alfred is… Alfred is intimidating, to the point I feel myself shivering.“Our deal was about not touching you; I could see you, in any shape or form, naked or not, I don’t care.” He was only a few breaths a
