ZEUS-“You’ve seriously chosen side now, haven't you?” I disconnected the call and went downstairs only to see that she’s lost in the crowd. I stood near the DJ scanning the crowd with my eyes.“Have you found her?” I spoke in my microphone. “Yeah, she walked towards the restroom” I got updated from one of my subordinates and followed her trail. I barged in and all the girls gasped loudly, I looked around to see her and found her standing near the wall.I grabbed a random girl’s hand pulling her closer to my body. My hands on her waist, she gave in and I knew it. No one can escape from my overflowing charms, a smirked escaped through my lips as I saw Aurora burning in jealousy. “I was looking for you” I muttered, walking my hands on her skin.“Is she the one you like?” Aurora walked in my direction, her eyes glaring at the girl but she tried her best not to look uncomfortable. “She’s pretty” she complimented her as if it wasn’t burning her soul.“Yeah! I upgraded, finally from horrid
ZEUS-My heart raced as she got on me. Her eyes were heavy with the drugs hence did whatever she felt like. I could feel the electricity coursing through my veins not being able to hold myself any longer.I reached out and ran my hands through her long locks of hair. She looked up at me with a sultry gaze and I could feel my resolve melting away. “Aurora… you’ll regret it in the morning.”I was implying to myself though; I would regret it if I sleep with her. Yes, I crave for her body more than anything right now but, my revenge would burn down into ashes if I give in.“My life is already filled with regret, let’s add one more to it” she placed her finger on my hand slowly leading me away. I wanted nothing more than to be with her right then and there. “Fuck it…” I groaned.I slowly moved in and brushed my lips lightly against hers. At first, she was still, but then I felt her slowly moving closer, her lips eagerly pressing against mine. I felt my body come alive with excitement and I
AURORA- I opened my eyes finding myself again in Zeus room, I recalled myself following him to the club and got wasted. [“Zeus… please love me, I feel alone without you…”] “What the fuck did I do last night?” I grabbed my face burying it inside my hands, my eyes shivering with guilt. Why would I do something like this? “Shame on you, Aurora.” I yelled in disappointment. Is this how I'm going to get him back? I got up walking around in despair, “Huh! Azrael…” I ran towards him gasping really loudly. “Ms. Aurora, how should I help you?” my steps halted as he was being formal as always. “Do you know what happened yesterday?” I looked down on floor trying to recall what I did after sitting on Zeus’s lap. “I'm sorry, but we parted ways in the club.” He seemed lost as well. “Do you know where Arthur is?” my curious mind couldn’t sit back and I blurted again. “He might be in the training room, should I take you there?” I nodded in response and we continued walking together. “Have you f
AURORA- “Aren't you going overboard with your revenge now?” I grabbed his hand taking him away from the her. “Don’t… you dare touch me.” he growled at me, his eyes glaring me and I felt myself choking with his anger. “Zeus… why did you bring her here? If you think this is gonna hurt me then yes, it did. Now, please send her away” Leila really loved Zeus, to such an extent where she could do anything possible to make him hers’ and I was scared of that. “You call me Alpha or just get lost; I’ll lock you down in dungeon until the ritual.” He was so cold to me that I wanted to wake up from this nightmare. “Can’t believe. Don’t you have a little bit of self-respect to keep following me when I’ve thrown you away several times. I don’t even want you in my house” even though he was saying this to take revenge. It was hurting. “You said, I’ll get to see Ms. Dabria, please take me to her.” I asked changing the topic. I guess I just have to endure until he forgives me. he kept quiet not sayi
AURORA- All this trouble I went through just because of a fallacy? My vengeance didn’t even have a real reason? He took the revenge from those bastards for me but never for once talked about it. He was always an angel to me hiding behind that devilish mask. This groundless revenge only caused him pain, life is making me fall down my face over on over telling me how unworthy I am of him. “Aurora, get up” Azrael barged inside my room while I drowning in my sorrows. He grabbed my hand pulling me out of the bed, my eyes drowsy and swollen from crying. “Let’s start with your training.” Azrael was suddenly supporting me. I didn’t know he hated Leila, but my senses were still blur to think about it or even think anything. I couldn’t get my mind off of what happened and how I blamed Zeus for everything since he was the only guy present in front of me. “We don’t know how the quintet are gonna test you, so you need to excel in every field, okay?” it was like his words could reach to my ears
ZEUS-“I beg of you, let me take this away with me. Please, Alpha.” Her voice stuck inside my ears. No matter how ruthlessly I glared at her she, never for once called me an ‘Alpha’.She was too serious about the dress I destroyed, I felt bad for her pleading on the ground for a stupid dress that has no meaning to it. For a moment, words couldn’t escape my mouth and I stood watching her cry.She kept on talking about how she’ll leave me, I didn’t know when things got out of my hand and turn out this ugly. Was it when I tried to kill her? I got this fear of failure, my anger got the best of me and I lost my senses.I thought I’ll lose her if I give in and kept on playing bad, until Arthur saved me. It really broke me watching us drifting us apart this quickly. I'm trying all sort of things to keep her by my side but none of them is working.Watching her in so much pain already made me give up on the ugly thing called revenge. It ruined both our lives but she’s breaking down now. She ca
ZEUS-“What have you done…” I used my werewolf hearing but could only hear faint pounding from her heart. “Doctor…” I yelled and everyone woke up, rushing towards the pack doctor, my eyes shivering in panic.This is where my revenge brought us, I, on the verge of losing my sanity kept on blaming with mindlessly waiting for the doctor to arrive. I held her hand caressing it, begging but she wouldn’t listen.I didn’t know she was suffering this much that she’d end up killing her, “Aurora…” I yelled in fear, placing my hand at her heart trying to stop the bleeding, I don’t know since when she’s been lying there while I was living with my ego.“Hurry…” I yelled and the doctor arrived, Arthur pulled me away and they shut the door on my face, my eyes burning from guilt and I latched onto Arthur breaking into tears. “Look what I did, Arthur” he caressed my back taking me away from her.His hands gently stroking my back but it wasn’t helping, my consciousness was trying to look for her yet my
AURORA-I had no intention of playing along anymore, I had given up on the word meaning ‘life’. It aches my heart how pathetic I am and I hate myself, no one should be in a position to loathe their existence but I do.I pushed him back, my eyes crying from the pain, “I need to go…” I yelled pulling the syringe out of my hands. My head started spinning in all possible direction as soon as my foot landed on the ground.It took me a while I consider my surrounding and I started walking again, it felt like my blood was draining as if the sun is extracting it away. I couldn’t open my eyes but kept on walking away from Zeus.I didn’t have the energy to stay beside him, henceforth wanted to leave. “Aurora?” I turned at a loud voice calling my name out. “Where are you going?” he sprinted in my direction as I was trying to stand firmly on the ground.“Arthur? I'm leaving…” I asked to check who the person was since my vision was blur and couldn’t hear his voice clearly. “Where are you going? Wi
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
