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-“I thought you aren’t coming today…” I sat down while he was about to drive, I’d just be bored at home perhaps things might change and it wouldn’t be like yesterday. After all I have to focus on my studies and I’ll do that only staying away from any sort of troubles.“I changed my mind…” I sighed not knowing what’s waiting ahead for me, it might be the worst day but it can actually be good too, we drove off and reached in front of my campus in no time. We didn’t speak anything all the while but I could see him smiling from time to time.“I’ll walk you in…” he got down and opened the door for me, all I could see was eyes prying at me. I was shocked and didn’t know what to do since I realized today is gonna be worst. “No, I’ll manage…” perhaps he must've understood that someone might be troubling me, ugh!We both walked inside and I saw Trevor standing in one corner observing us, I don’t know what’s up with him, I never really talked to him to make him act this bizarre way.Not
ZEUS- I sniffed a weird scent from her the other day, I didn’t pay much attention since she must've met so many people and the chances of her hanging out with another alpha were very low, I might be just making things up to be true. Nonetheless, I still walked with her until she sat down, there I saw her, the girl I saved. I didn’t know it’ll bring such a huge smile on her face and I felt gloomy on the inside as if I did the right thing saving that girl’s life. On my way back I could them shrieking in joy but it really bothered me by the number of eyes with peculiar emotions inside them eyeing at Aurora. They must've been jealous of her considering she’s got such a hot boyfriend. It’s not like they’ll harm her or something, I took my classes and went to the cafeteria only to see girls ganging up against my girl. I knew it wasn’t a big deal for her but deep I was very well aware that she wouldn’t be harming them since she’s kind unlike me. “I’ve had enough… leave my girl alone.” I
AURORA- “He’s a freak… so damn possessive, how can you say he’s not in love with you?” Steffi teased me while I didn’t know how to react. “He’s possessive coz he thinks he owns me, there’s a difference.” I replied knowing what I'm saying is true, “But still, that was cool… ‘I’ve had enough…leave my girl alone’.” she mimicked him and we entered inside our class. “Oh! Aurora… and Steffi, your appearance is once in a blue moon, so rare… are you finally ready to take my classes?” we entered inside bowing since it was her class the one, I escaped while following Zeus’ scent. “I tried to contact you about your attendance, you didn’t respond… do you want to take part in this course or not?” I only heard an earful from her, what could I have said… it felt like she was just teaching me and Steffi in the whole class. “You’ll be having to make a dress for your partner and you’ll be getting marks for that.” She spoke. “So, I want everyone to submit your assignment by 20th, you’ve got exact 2
AURORA-“Fine… don’t sulk for fuck’s sake” is he changing? He would never let me have my way around him, he does what he wants. He’s been surprising me a lot, I don’t expect him to do everything for me but these little things, they do count.“Whoa… you sure lived like a princess…” we arrived at the front of my house; I wasn’t expecting myself to act this way. I was terrified to go inside, the house I grew up into, I ran across the garden now, I couldn’t step into it.“What’s going on? Hurry?” he pushed me gently asking me to leave. I was shivering with guilt in my eyes, not only did I not take revenge for my father’s death, I brought my father’s killer with me in front of his house.“I'm not going inside… don’t worry… do whatever you want and come back soon” he spoke dryly as if he was trying to hide something. I know I was being too obvious; he would’ve read my expressions but he still, was trying to force me to overcome my fear.“I---I don’t think I can do this… let’s go back” I stu
AURORA-“It’s nothing actually”“You sure about that?” “Yeah! Let’s work… we haven't even prepared the layout yet”“Can we go to the arts room, we need to pick the clothes up, now that we’re done with our drawing” he spoke all of a sudden and we got up leaving towards the room. “So, what about the mannequin? How are we going to sew them and all?”It seemed like he was excited more than me, “I have mine, do you have yours?” mine is a fucking wedding dress, all he has to do is make a normal suit. How am I suppose to make a huge ass dress in just two weeks.“I know what you’re thinking, I’ll help you with that too, don’t worry” he smiled as we entered inside the room. I felt glad for having him as my partner, I couldn’t have done all that without his support especially when no one was ready to work with me.We got busy choosing our material according to the layout we put together, “So, are you coming over?” he asked suddenly, I don’t think it is possible, Zeus won’t let me leave the uni
AURORA- “You’ve found something fun in the college? You wake up early nowadays…” Zeus spoke as I sat into his car, he sure was in a good mood. “That’s because I don’t sleep anymore… I can’t more precisely” I could see the color fading from his face, to be honest, I did sleep like a baby, as if someone was protecting me at all costs. His warm hands around my body didn’t feel pathetic but soothing on the contrary. “Awww… that hurts” he tried to mock me but clearly it didn’t go well, we drove off towards our destiny, I was still iffy about Trevor’s offer, should I accept it or not? “But seriously, you are not doing anything behind my back, are you?” he looked serious all of a sudden asking me. “Why do you bring this up every time, I'm excited about my assignment, that’s it… don’t bother me” I uttered with disgust, I knew I was stirring things up underneath keeping him in the dark, but it’s not like I'm accountable to him or something. He didn’t care about my emotions, why should I?
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
