87. Eh, the alpha wants a daughter! "Are you even listening to me, honey?" A hard jerk pulled Aura back to reality. She flickered her stunned lashes and inhaled a deep breath. Then nervousness sat pink on her cheeks as Aura watched Madam Martha eye her with feigned anger for not paying attention to anything she said. "Erm, I… I was listening to you until…" She lowered her head and shied away. "Hmm, until I mentioned 'The marriage'? I should have known," The old woman said shaking her wrinkled face with a bemused grin. Madam Martha rose from the chair. She filled a glass of water for Aurora and saw her drink it shyly. Her laughter rang in the area. She was amazed to see Aurora's expressions. As though a small kid caught while stealing candies, she refused to meet her eyes. "Oh darling, what am I going to do with you? Look at your blush. You are all red." She caressed her cheek while pulling her up on her feet, holding her shoulders. Aura was tongue tied. She was didn't know how
88. One last time? Rosario's arrival soon after the disconnection of the call offered Aurora some sort of distraction. Her breathing turned back to normal and she could also focus on other things. She was relieved that her thoughts were not clouded by the last night's doing and Damien's dirty words didn't tickle her much. She was enjoying her time in a convenient store, going through the shelves of chocolates. Time spent with Rosario soothed her heart. She felt as if she was with an ultimately peaceful person who was here to give her the best homely moments. Like a brother. "Come on, Aurora," He sighed wearily behind her. "What's taking you so long? Choose any one and get going." He was slumped again the opposite shelves watching over her back as she stood there with hands on her hips. She seemed to be in a critical thinking process. As if it were not the brand and variety of chocolates she was to choose from but something even important. "Look, that little girl is faster than
89. Innocent heart still beating for others' wellbeing "Damien cast Ginny out of the pack?!" Aura was unable to believe her ears. It sounded like an on-spot made up story. But she trusted Rosario with her life and knew he would never do that. However, that is whatever exactly he told her as their lunch arrived. "He was so mad that he wanted to execute her or worse, throw her in the dungeons where she would have been assaulted by the cops mercilessly. Then something else got into him and he decided to disown her and throw her out of the pack." Aura cannot unhear Rosario's words he had communicated with her in the restaurant. The evening sky was casting a hue over the horizon. The grass in the garden before the mansion danced in the tranquility of the twilight breeze. She saw little birds flying back to their nests as she tried to not decline her mood. Damien had every reason to do that. It was not a harsh punishment but still deep down Aura cannot accept it. Ginny was born here.
90. I will be okay if you revoke your orders.They retraced their steps back to the dining room and settled down for a silent meal. The romantic moment in the bedroom made blood pound at her cheeks. Aura preferred to let it stay there while she dug in her food. She watched Damien talk and smile with Madam Martha and Brian, who have joined them in. It was amusing to see her mute because while he was away, she made the entire servant staff shudder. Madam Martha's forehead had creased for she reddened like a beetroot in fury. Now that he was here Aurora sat as still as a baby under the scrutiny of his mother as compared to his nanny. She ate silently as if she never roared over his delayed arrival. The very sight made Madam Martha chuckle. She turned her head away to make sure Aura didn't see her but she failed. She's caught everyone's heed. Especially Damien's, who gazed at her with narrowed eyes switching between her and his girlfriend. He can breathe something shifty. "What?" Aura
91. For f*cks sake, marry this lioness soon"Aurora?" As the shutters of her eyes rolled up, bringing the world to view, Aura saw a face she was barely anticipating to see. Ginny was here in Damien's bedroom. She was in a nightgown, clearly indicating that she was collected at night by the alpha. "Ginny, what are you doing here?" Aura pulled herself off the bed and sat straight. She didn't have to be told that she lost her consciousness. The presence of Damien's doctor beside Madam Martha and Brian spoke the fact. She wandered her eyes about the room and discovered him standing in the farther corner with a face that was anything but joyful as his hands remained tightly folded before his chest. She can see through his disappointment, and worry obviously. He was also mad at her. "Damien gathered me." Ginny said, Aura eyes instantly settled on her face. She was in tears and a surprisingly glowy grin on her mouth. She took Aurora's hands and squeezed them in gratification."I didn't
92. Their wedding day... On her birthday "Ginny Williams, I won't repeat myself again," Damien's smoldering gaze appraised her from head to toe with indignation before he pointed at the door behind her. "Take your ass out of my cabin if you don't wish me to throw you out myself. "Oh, come on," Ginny puffed. "Go away, don't disturb me." She took a seat in one of the chairs set for the visitors on this side of the desk as she eyed him irritatingly. They had been having an argument that Damien refused to give in. On the contrary, Ginny was bent on getting an upper hand and also win it against him. "Why don't you simply answer my questions, Damien?" Dramatically she slapped her hands on the desk to show how pissed she was of him. "The faster you respond the quicker I will sprint out of your cabin." She leaned forward. "All you have to do is open your arse-like mouth and fart!" But Damien won't budge. Even towards the choice of her words. He rolled his goldens with a twist of
93. It's official— they're getting married!At the mansion, Aura was enjoying cucumber pickle in the foyer with Madam Martha sitting beside her, knitting a sweater for her baby. "This is yummy! I think I can knock down just another jar of them," She sounded delicious, sending the old Housekeeper into a fit of laughter. "You speak as if it is a doughnut with dark chocolate and lots of sprinkles." Madam Martha commented, she shook her head left to right as the view of her daughter munching on those cucumbers looked so gut-shaking. The twilight was bursting outside the mansion. Orange hue of the setting sun cast long shadows of trees and buildings on the ground. The singing of the birds have reduced to a consoling chiming as the winds blew gently. Aura had been satisfying her cravings all day long. Her bump was starting to show. It was round and plump. She had not gained much weight. But looking at the excitement with which she was gobbling food these days, Madam Martha was certain
94. Lovely bride of the Alpha, Aurora. Aurora's POV Today would have been easier if my parents were alive. I wished for them to be standing by my side. I recall my father's excitement whenever he used to talk about my wedding with mom. I recall my mother talking about shedding buckets of tears and that dreamy smile on her lips whenever she discussed my wedding with dad. Those days were the best days of my teenage years. I wish they could revive and watch their daughter dressed as a bride. If not those days, then at least my parents could come back. I wish to witness that look on their faces I always dreamed of seeing on the day of my marriage. Every daughter dreams of her marriage to take place in the presence of her parents whereas her parents dream for their daughter to marry an eligible person who would treat her like a princess and never let any problem cast a shadow of sorrow on her face. I am lucky that I encountered one such guy and am going to tie the knot of marriage
