ZEUS- I wanted to feel superior as if I had her in my fist, I wanted to be evil and I blurted out without thinking about the consequences. It doesn’t matter to me, Arthur died and there’s no remorse on my face so, why would I feel guilty when I killed Steffi, she was a no one. After facing the reality, I don’t even feel anything for my father, that bastard used me for his sake and I don’t owe him anything. He wanted me, just to take revenge he never needed a Zeus, he needed an immortal being that would dance on his fingers. That’s how I’ve lived my life so far, burning with the feeling of revenge and gradually turned into a monster. But I don’t hate myself for the way I am, why would I? it’s not easy to turn your humanity off, I did it. Though, there’s a void inside me, as if someone is disappointed in the way I’ve lived perhaps, my younger self. Children are innocent but I don’t even remember if I had that kind of innocence in me or not since, I killed my own mother. No matter how
AURORA-I can’t face myself anymore, why would I hug him, out of so many people in this world, why him? I'm embarrassed now, the way he spoke in order to calm me, I lost all my senses and went for it.I shouldn’t have done that; I was in his embrace for a long time until I gained my senses back. [“There’s nothing wrong with you…” he placed his hand on my head slightly caressing it.“You were a werewolf from the beginning, nothing could’ve stopped you from meeting your true self.” His soothing voice.“I kill people for my ego but you had the necessity, they were after you, you wanted freedom, our kind certainly does kill people but it’s not something to bawl about. It’s okay…”“This doesn’t make you a monster, you have feelings in you, Aurora.” His hands that were giving me creep until now were giving me strength. It wasn’t anything like I have experienced before.]But all of a sudden, he pushed me away and ran, I sighed but soon recalled the wound on him was still bleeding, I know it
AURORA-I searched the web sitting beside him, he was closing his eyes and the first thing I read was to keep him conscious. “Don’t close your eyes, look here…”I ordered him dominantly and he quickly opened them, I was very nervous, and started biting my nails, “What?”“Why aren’t you telling me what to do?” I spoke since what I read seemed unbelievable. And if he knows what wolfsbane is then he certainly is aware about it’s cure. He didn’t respond. “Do you want to die… it’s saying burn it. how the fuck am I supposed to burn you…” I roared in anger; I’ve never done anything like this before.He was losing his consciousness, while I was running back and forth to find the lighter, it was the only cure and I will do this, just to save him. “The scissors had wolfsbane in it…” he spoke and my legs stopped working, I hiding from the truth, I didn’t want it to be, I wanted to blame someone else for it. But I at last faced the truth.“You are a Lycan, you could’ve healed by then, you want me
ZEUS-I pushed her away tumbling down because of the pain, it was burning my skin and I started running finding a safe place and entered inside Aurora’s room. My wound wasn’t just a normal stab and I saw it slowly turning blue… it was wolfsbane, I hadn’t turn which was slowing the process of my healing even more.I collapsed on the bed but soon gained consciousness feeling uneasy and sore all over my body, I could feel myself getting dried up and this poisoning was taking everything inside from me.“What are you doing?” I saw someone sitting beside me and placing a wet cloth on my forehead. He was trying to put my temperature down but I wasn’t in my senses and shoved his outside the room. I can’t be vulnerable around my men as I don’t really know who’s with me or against me after Arthur being my beta and that asshole Declan.He was shaking in fear and strolled out quickly, I had to do something but my hands weren’t working anymore as if there was nothing that could help me. I was neve
AURORA-“Why is she here?” he muttered in his sleep, is he talking about me or that bitch Leila? I was bringing his temperature down; I was shutting all the voice in my head just to bring myself to cure him.“I want her…” he spoke again, is he talking about me or that slut Leila? I clenched my fist in anger not knowing why am I actually so worked up. I freaking hate this guy, but still, it makes me worried if he’s in pain, what would I name this?His temperature was rising, I looked at his wound it seemed fine there was not much changes in it except it was getting smaller which was a good sign. He was healing, I don’t know much about this world but from what I can interpret is that he didn’t turn on the full moon which gave his body a sudden shock and his healing process stopped.This makes sense and I can’t think anything otherwise, I didn’t sleep last night he was having nightmares, he seemed like a lost kid and I couldn’t leave him alone. He told me how he didn’t want anyone around
AURORA-I’ve waited for a long time; he must be sleeping right now and I can simply kill him and escape. I couldn’t think about anything else other than this, either it’s me or him because I feel guilty.I feel guilty for not doing it before when I could’ve killed him easily, it was my shortcoming hence, I need to compensate for that. No one stopped me from walking into his room, because now they were aware that I bring no harm or don’t want to escape anymore.My heartbeat was rising, it was getting harder but still, I opened the door and saw him sleeping on the bed. I closed my eyes to sense if his breathing is even or not, I realized there can be no perfect time than this and walked near him. his eyes were closed he wasn’t moving and I slowly uttered, “Zeus?”No reaction and I grew confident, I spoke again increasing my volume, “Zeus…” he wasn’t responding and I sighed loudly in nervousness, I’ll just give it another try and get this over with, “Zeus” I exclaimed and he didn’t respo
AURORA-“Don’t resist or else---” I was trying to speak but she stopped me in between.“Or else? What? You’re gonna kill someone important to me? I have none left… all thanks to you…” I closed my eyes hearing her say those words, I knew they were true but it was painful to hear them directly from her mouth.I went silent realizing that she’s lost a lot because of me, every time I try to talk to her something weird comes out of my mouth and she ends up hating me even more. It’s not like I'm not trying but it isn’t in built, I don’t know how to act in front of her and the only behavior I put forward is the one I have, the worst one she hates.“I was trying to say, or else you’re gonna have to sleep here every day…” she turned around to look at me and I spoke, I pulled her even closer and her body scooped in mine like it’s meant to be.I closed my eyes, I knew she could kill me any moment, I know she wants to but I want to cherish the time I have with her. She’s eventually gonna take her
AURORA-I couldn’t have been any happier than this, I was finally going to university living my normal life. I didn’t expect him to suddenly say that but I was glad he did. It’s not like I was always thinking about going to the university but it might be beginning, everything might be going back to its normal place.I went inside my class with high expectations but only got disappointed as Steffi wasn’t there anymore. I couldn’t stop her usually jumping like a kangaroo around and it felt empty.“You came with Zeus?” “What’s your relationship with him?” “He is mine, who gave you the right to snatch anyone else’s boyfriend?” girls in my class started hating me as they saw me getting down from his car.I was being bullied and honestly, if I wanted to, I could’ve just showed them their right place but I wanted to stay low. I can’t use my powers for things like this and I have to endure, if I end up harming these pity humans just to act superior then I'm worse than Zeus.But did I just ref
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
