AURORA-“Just let me go… why did you come here with me?” we are on the run since morning and haven't found a shelter yet. I was frustrated by him; he shouldn’t be here… with me.“You want me to leave you when you’ve got no one?” he yelled back as we huffed panting loudly. I sat beneath a tree in despair as he continued speaking. “Don’t expect me to do something out of my character”“Look where you are because of me already, the moment I touched your life it’s shattered. Your home has turned into ashes, I made you miserable, just let me be and go back to your old life.” I couldn’t look at him, I was dying with guilt because I didn’t want anyone else to sacrifice their life because of me.“I'm selfish, and I’ll end up hurting you. Just go back…” I wept for the hundredth time out of misery. I thought about myself, all along. How I want revenge from Zeus, how I have to escape… that I even forgot to free Ms. Dabria, the lady whose son sacrificed his life just to let me escape.She’s still
ZEUS-“If they’re causing trouble then kill their whole damn pack, I don’t want to see any member of angelica’s alive.” I cussed at Azrael as we found a member of the angelica’s pack trying to enter inside out territory.Nothing happens in my area without me in the know, never let your guard down is what Aurora taught me. No matter who it is, I can never slack off anymore. “Who’s the guy being executed outside?”Arthur entered inside and I turned around to look at him, “Did you not wipe them on purpose?” I asked sitting on my chair trying to pretend calm while I was growing restless every second.“What? Oh… the blood? It shouldn’t bother you… it’s not like she matters, right?” he sat in front of me as I rummaged through the papers and he wiped the blood from his knuckles. I heard a loud shriek and stood up hurriedly running towards the balcony.“Didn’t I tell you to wait for me… I wanted to kill the fucking intruder” I screamed on the top of my voice and jumped downwards. I knew what
AURORA-The day passed by quickly than I anticipated and we finally entered inside a huge house. “Why are we here?” I asked looking around, it was clean yet empty and obvious that no one lives here.But a man working as a tailor suddenly has a money to afford a house like this? “This morning… I was going to tell you that, I received a call from my father regarding a certain will.” Come to think of it, I know nothing about him. If he’s supposed to be someone important to me in the near future, I should know everything about him and not just his name.“What about it?” I looked confused as he held my hand making me sit on the chair lying around. “See, Aurora… my family exactly isn’t the type I’d like to be with hence, I ran away at a young age.” He affirmed, and that explain why he lives in a small house earning almost up to his needs.“I wanted to live a quiet life hence didn’t start something huge… I didn’t care about his money or the will and refused him that I didn’t want any of it.
AURORA-I won’t say ‘I'm happy’ but I certainly am at peace. I’ve been living with him for two days and it’s going pretty well so far. He’s good at almost everything I can think of.“Aurora… come downstairs, the food’s ready.” I heard him call my name as I walked out of my sheets directly going downstairs. There was a lot I wanted to talk to him about, and I dragged my body down thinking how to start the conversation.“You haven't taken a bath yet? You just woke up?” he looked at my bedhead in shock as I sat down on the chair playing with my fork. Is he angry? I kept on looking at him but it didn’t seem like it as he placed the plate in front of me.“What’s the point of getting ready, when I won’t be going out…” I scowled in a low voice, it’s been just two days yet I'm getting restless already, it wasn’t the same with Zeus for some reason.“You want to go out?” he sat beside me with his usual smile intact on the face. How does he manage to be so calm every time? I nodded while looking
AURORA- “Uh… sorry, I became overjoyed…” we broke apart and I could hear his heart pumping loudly, a smile escaped my mouth as I found it cute and he blushed. “You shouldn’t stand… you’re weak, right now.” he grabbed my hand making me sit on the bed forcefully. “What happened last night?” I knew he knew the answers, so I asked. “I looked for a werewolf doctor when you passed out suddenly. Luckily, I found one… he talked in a weird language saying that your wolf is seeking out for Zeus, he said something about mate bond etc. …” the light on his face went out, as if he wasn’t enjoying telling me this. “Then how did he cure me?” I asked changing the topic, I couldn’t see him sad because of me. I anticipated it that the pain was related to Zeus or else I would’ve healed already. “He gave you an injection which eventually brought your temperature down and gave me some more for the next few full moons.” I love how honest he is. He was being transparent to me and I started putting my tru
AURORA-A day passed with his feelings filled in a brim, he hasn’t still yet confessed it to me directly but it’s not like I'm waiting for it either. I officially promised myself that I’ll stop thinking about Zeus.I covered myself with the blanket and closed my eyes hiding beneath its warmth and the next thing I remember is crying with fear. “Had fun sabotaging me?” I opened my eyes and followed the voice.I saw a familiar silhouette standing by the window. I stood up walking in his direction. My heart was pounding to come out of my chest. “Z---Zeus?” I stuttered and he turned in my direction.“I'm surprised you still remember me, aren’t you happy with him?” he took a step in my direction and light stroked his face making it visible to me. I gulped a huge lump fixed in my throat as he kept on walking towards me until I was sandwiched between him and the bed.“Does he not make your heart flutter like I do? Does he make you moan like I do? Does he fulfil all your wishes like I do?” he
AURORA-“Where are you taking me?” he was dragging me but I wouldn’t say brutally. I followed him and entered inside his room. It was the first time I had seen his room; it was clean but I wouldn’t say perfect since he’s a guy, it is expected not to be perfect.It was clean because it was Mr. David’s, “I don’t like to force you but, it’ll be better if you start sleeping here.” He stood before me, I could hear his heart beating really fast, it would’ve been hard for him to ask me this.It’s my last day here, the least I can do is listen to him. “Fine…” I stared at the floor and walked towards the bed hiding inside the blanket. I felt it rustling as he lied beside me. “What? It’ll be pointless if I'm not near you when you have a nightmare again.”I smiled as he explained himself so clearly, I closed my eyes thinking about what happened a few minutes ago. Zeus was here, angry, seeking for revenge but my heart was finally at peace as I saw him breathing.He was alive, Zeus was alive, I do
AURORA-“Happiness is only an illusion, Aurora… it’s funny how desperately you were seeking for it.” Zeus muttered as we drove back to his mansion. “You’re right I was looking for something that was never even there…” I was on the verge of crying but I knew the torture that awaits me in his mansion would be worse than I can ever imagine.I got down from the car and started walking towards my room, “Where?” he yelled grabbing everyone’s attention and my steps halted. I froze at my place hearing him roar for no reason. I don’t know what has happened to him since I was gone but he seemed…“How dare you walk around without my permission?” he yelled standing at his place and I looked around, nothing seemed normal as my heart throbbed seeing Azrael’s and the old chef’s eyes filled with disappointment.I walked back towards Zeus not knowing why I was feeling this submissive, “You are prisoner here, have you forgotten?” he held my hand taking me some place alone. We walked down to the basemen
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
