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
AURORA-“I’m going to open my eyes now.” He warned as his lips curved up feeling victorious. I felt a drop of tear rolling down my eyes and drop turned into a wave, an unstoppable wave.“No, no, no. Don’t cry.” He heard me sniffling and rose his brow frantically. “You know what your tears does to me.”“Then, just go away if you ever want a life with me in it.” I beg, but my voice was firm. “Alfred, I will never look at you if you---”He twisted my head, thumping my body on the mirror, his hands on cheeks, and he locked his lips with mine. His warmth killed the coldness I was feeling from behind and he pushed me into the mirror pressing his body against mine.I sandwiched between the two lifeless things, I tried to create distance between us by placing my hand on his chest and push him away. But my strength was nowhere near his.His lips moved recklessly, licking my jaw, my cupid--- “Hey!” I heard a voice.“Aurora?” I opened my eyes to look at him who was standing at a distance from me
AURORA-I'm at the door, and there is nothing but darkness beyond it. and I'm willingly opening the door, to get lost in that dark, dark world.I am insane, I must be out of my mind, for what I am doing, for what I didn’t do, I'm so dumb, I hate myself. Something is going to happen and I will be ruined, I am getting ruined. I am ruined because there’s no escape.Not even death. “Morning…” This voice, this haunting voice is the death of me. I am no longer a human; I am no longer anything for that matter. I feel like a broken toy with no hope of redemption.I opened my eyes to look at structure lying beside me, his eyes on me as I rub mine gently brushing away the sleep. I don’t know, but I have to look at his face first thing in the morning.“Did you sleep well?” Unfortunately, I did, I shouldn’t but I did. Maybe it was the anger that drain all of my energy to keep my eyes remain wide, or I don’t know the other reason, because of him.Which is not possible, hypothetically, mechanically
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
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
