Ch Aurora 'Zendaya?' What was she doing here at this crucial moment in the pack? My mind wondered a bit.I knew the name, the face struck a familiar cord in my head too but where? Where did I know her from?I was too weak to talk or ask so much questions but I watched her being led to one of the empty beds and one of the doctors attended to her."Jasper and Jasmine--" my voice quaked as I spoke, still an after effect from the fog."They're safe." Ralph replied with a reassuring nod and I felt the tension slowly leave my chest. I was cumbered with the weight of saving the pack from the intruders and also saving my kids but I didn't need to worry anymore now that Ralph was here and he had taken over the protective measures of the pack.My peripheral vision caught Zendaya form again where she laid on her bed. She looked weak and worn out. She must have been caught up in the fight and must've been ruffled up too, seeing her pale skin and countenance. "Is she hurt?" I touched Ralph's ar
Aurora"You should mind your business and stay within your limits becau....""Ralph," I touched his arm and he paused.Ralph was already scolding the woman but I stopped him."Hello there," I tried to sit upright to get a better view of the woman and my suspicions were confirmed. It was the same Zendaya that had been lying not too far from me, she dropped her eyes to her knotted hands the minute our eyes met and bowed her head in submission. "I'm sorry Luna, I'm sorry Alph—""I'm not your Alpha." Ralph snapped at her again and I couldn't understand what was making him so irritated. "Ralph you don't have to be so mean to her,""I don't know why you are interested in what she has to say, we don't know her." His nose flared and he fumed."I feel like I do, arghh" I argued with Ralph and it made my heard hurt. He was quick to craddle me in his arms."It's fine, I'll hear her out but you need to calm down and not stress. I'm sorry I raised my voice at you." He eyed Zendaya like she was t
Aurora"Answer the question," I insisted but Zendaya only looked down on her knotted hands.I knew there was something about her that drew me in all the while but I couldn't quite place it."Have you gone mute all of a sudden?" Keston snapped at her as irritated as Ralph was earlier. One similarity between Ralph and Keston was their impatience when querying outsiders, they never liked to be kept waiting or guessing. "Speak!" Keston insisted when she nodded."Relax Keston, you're scaring her. It's alright Zendaya we would continue the discussion later." I assured her but she didn't seem pleased."You said you knew a herb that could—""Please don't send me away from here. Please, I have nowhere to go. They'll kill me for betraying them." Zendaya fell on her knees and touched my feet with her forehead as she spoke without breathing.Keston and I were quite taken aback by her display and we exchanged glances."What are you saying? You need to speak slowly so we can hear you." I held her
Aurora I sat back down on the bed and they released Zendaya. In half a breath she threw herself in my arms and sobbed."Thank you so much, you have returned the favour I did you just now but please don't let them send me away. They hate our kind and you know this."Zendaya rambled on and I understood her pain."No one will do any such thing to you, you'll stay here with me." I hugged her tight but I knew better.Ralph had agreed to let her stay till she fully recovered but I felt a stronger connection to her and I wanted to keep her safe permanently. I knew it was going to be a herculean task to convince Ralph to let her stay but I was going to try and use all tools available to me to make him see reasons with me.My mind was set on that course and I was going to see through to my success."You should rest a bit." I encouraged her but she insisted that she had fully recovered. "I am fine, if someone can show me the way, I can pick those herbs for you." I sighed. She wanted to help
Aurora Ralph was definitely going to be the end of me, well if he wasn't then I had no end because what was the sweet torture all about.I patted my lips and breathed slowly but he hovered around me without touching my lips with his."Huh?" I opened my eyes to find him smiling at me."Look at you, weren't you scolding me just now?" He smirked and arched a brow.As little as that gesture was, it fueled my desire. I pulled him by his shirt and took laws into my hands covering his lips with mine.I could feel his smile on my lips.It didn't take long for him to take charge and deepen our kiss.His tongue explored my mouth deeply like a child did a bar of chocolate.His hands roamed my body squeezing and pressing as he went over.His hand found my butt and he squeezed it making me gasp.Every gasp gave him room to deepen the kiss hungrily.Something about the way he was kissing me. He kissed me like it was going to be the last, I could sense a lot of emotions, his hands digging my hair d
AURORA For goddess sake what was the big deal in giving a helpless girl a chance?"She may not be as helpless you know and she's definitely no girl." Ralph suddenly turned and I bumped into him because of the speed at which I was chasing him on the heels. He held me from falling and then released me.Zendaya was just about the same age as me so yh he had a point but wait,Did I say that out loud?"And yes you said it out loud." He replied again."What?" I was a bit confused. "No you didn't ask the question aloud, I read your expression to know what you were wondering about.""Oh,"Honestly, his explanation made a whole lot of sense and I calmed my curious nerves."Aurora, I don't want to have this conversation aga—""What's happening here?" Annora walked up to us and inquired. "Talk to her please, I don't know why she's bent on bringing a total stranger into our home. I don't get it at all." Ralph ran his fingers through his hair exasperated.Annora looked at me expecting a respons
Aurora We made our way towards the direction where the scream came from. The voice sounded familiar yet unfamiliar, I had an inner intuition that Zendaya was in trouble but at the same time, the scream did not come from a female. It sounded like an agonizing scream of a dying man. We got to the room where the sound was coming from and my eyes widened twice their size at the picture I beheld. "What are you doing?" I yelled at the top of my voice hoping to bring him back to his senses. Gamma Lyon had his hand around her neck while every other person watched with solemn expressions. Each had their lips pressed in a thin line and none motioned to stop the gamma from taking Zendaya’s life, not Keston not Ralph. Lyon had only been newly appointed Gamma and he was not ready to slack with his duties at all. "Don't get yourself involved in this Aurora, she is nothing but a traitor." Ralph warned me and I saw Lyon tighten his grip. I went over to Ralph in order to free Zendaya, talking
AURORA “Take a look at that dad.” I tapped my dad and pointed in the direction of the acrobatic display taking place. The acrobats had written my name with their bodies, making me smile and tap my dad to make sure he had seen it. He gazed in my direction with his eyes filled with love and smiled. “I specifically asked them to do that for you. I'm happy it gladdens you.” “Thank you, Dad,” I giggled, resting my head on his shoulders. “Anything for you sweetheart,” he patted my hair. Today was a night of celebration for the pack. It was a night where almost all the young ones found their mates. Dishes are made and wolves from distant packs are invited to this celebration and most times these visitors turn out to be the mates of the pack members. Tonight was very special to my dad, he had invited almost all mateless Alphas in a bid to find a mate for me. “Why don't you go mingle with the others?” He whispered. “I'd rather stay next to you. Don't forget I shine brighter than diam
