AURORA
Slap! My dad’s palm met my cheeks for the first time in my entire life. “You will reject him, Aurora. It's an order, not a request. I won't live to see you together with him,” he solely declared. “You can resolve your issues with him, Dad. My bond with him can bring our pack together, we’ll all be strong together…” My words were welcomed by gasps from everyone. “I told you you were spoiling this girl too much, now look what is happening,” the beta butted in again, earning a glare from me. “Don’t act like you are that relevant. You are just beta, so just stick to the pack’s business and stay off mine!” I lashed at him. “You…” he tried speaking, but my dad cut him off. “Aurora, the next time you set your eyes on that bastard, reject him,” my dad stated. “My mate is not a bastard!” I defended, glaring hard at him. “You’ll stand against me just for an enemy?” he asked, his voice down in disappointment “He is not just anyone, he is my mate. You've always let me have things my way, why can't you give in, Dad?” I stomped my feet on the ground. Doing this had always made him give in to my requests. “Not this time, Aurora. You'll have to choose between him and this pack,” he declared. My eyes widened. This was by no means what I expected to hear from him. “Dad,” I whispered, but then his gaze on me was cold and soulless. It was the first time he looked at me this way. “Fine. You've made up your mind anyway,” I said stubbornly refusing to let things go his way. Rushing over to the nearest table, I picked up one of the knives on it I stretched out my palm and positioned the knife's blade on it. Murmurs filled the hall. “I'll slice my palm and reject the pack,” I muttered, looking up at my dad. I didn't care, I was used to having everything my way and I wasn't going to let things go otherwise. My dad hated to see me hurt, I was almost sure that he’d accept my mate just to make sure I did not hurt myself. “Accept my mate or I'll really end my ties with the pack,” I threatened. “I'm going back to the mansion. Make sure to find that bastard and reject him before coming back,” my dad growled and turned away from me. Anger coursed through my veins. “You always claim you love me, I guess it's all a lie. You don't even want to see me happy,” I yelled at him, but he never looked back and kept walking away. “You know what? I'll just go be with my mate since you don't even care about me!” Eyes closed and teeth gnashed, I dragged the sharp blade of the knife on my palm, tearing it “I Aurora Ryker cease to have any ties with the Riverbells pack. From this moment on, I am a stranger to this pack!” I spilled my blood on the floor, sealing it all.AURORA “Take her out of the pack territory, she is no longer one of us ....Consider her a rogue and treat her like one,” My dad’s voice resonated. He had spoken in growls and his voice had anger and resentment, which I knew was directed at me. “Da….dad,” I stuttered. But then, he left the ground without looking back. “After everything the Alpha did, you chose to reject the pack for a man who took part in killing your own mother! What a foolish child,” my dad’s beta spat and trailed behind him. “He..he killed my mother? What are you talking about?” I asked, but then he walked away without bothering to say another word to me. I fisted my bleeding palm to stop the blood from flowing and tried to run over to him, but then I was violently pushed to the ground. “Who the fuck are you to push me to the floor?” I hissed and looked up at the person that had pushed me. It was Natalia, the beta’s daughter, my biggest rival. “Isn't that where you belong? On the ground,” she laughed. “Sh
AURORA “Show her to the maid’s quarters,” he instructed one of the uniformed men who had welcomed us earlier. I gazed in his direction, my mouth wide apart, too stunned to say a word. "Maybe he wants someone else to be shown to the maid's quarters," I mumbled inwardly. “Maid quarters? Me? Aren't we sharing a room together?” I asked to make sure he wasn't referring to me. He paused his steps and looked in my direction. His eyes trailed from my head to my legs, the look was downgrading. “Take my shirt off her and burn it,” he pointed at the shirt he had given me while still in my pack. “Ralph…” “It's Alpha to you,” he shut me up. My eyes nearly popped out of my sockets upon hearing his utterance. “What the fuck is going on?” I asked, gazing into his eyes, in search of answers, but then, he never said a word and walked away leaving me alone with his guards, who wasted no time in ripping the shirt off me and dragging me to the maid's quarters. I was given a dark and dirty room
WARNING!! Triggering scenes ahead*Abuse and Torture!AURORA “You have another woman?” I choked out, these words were like a thousand needles, piercing my chest. He never said a word and walked out of the room, locking the door behind him. My heart bled, it hurt so much that I almost found it hard to breathe. I coiled up on the cold floor, refusing to believe the reality before me. “My mate loves me so much,” I kept reminding myself, but each time I said this, my cheek where he had slapped me hurt, reminding me that I was giving myself false hope. “What went wrong?” I cried. I hated being pathetic, and helpless, but here I am in the situation I hated most. I had given up my pack, where I was pampered and spoilt to come be with my mate only to be treated like I had no value. A scream tore from me as the pain of it all hit me, I cried like never before. I cried till I couldn't anymore and only lay there, unmoving. Hours passed, and I dozed off to sleep due to how exhausted I was.
AURORA I raced till there was no strength left in me, I was blinded by so much rage that I never stopped to consider where I was heading. I was deep down inside the woods and still going even further. My feet got tackled by a stone, and I hit the ground, shifting back to my human self in the process. My head met the ground with a heavy bang, knocking me out. An unbearable ache in my head made me stir uncomfortably. I groaned and my eyes fluttered open. “She is finally awake,” I heard someone say, making me look up in the direction of the voice. Then, I realized I had company. There were five male wolves seated next to me and staring at me, from their scent, I could tell they were rogues. “First time seeing a rogue as beautiful as you,” one of them muttered, giving out a creepy smile. I looked down at myself and then realized I was naked. “Stay the fuck away from me!” I growled viciously. It was already enough that my mate assaulted me. My growl was met with laughter from them.
5 YEARS LATER(RILEY) AURORA"When a rogue attacks, grab its hindlimbs like this."I bent down tactfully, making sure the children could see me. I grabbed the hindlimbs of the huge toy wolf I was using in educating them and threw it to the ground.“Now try doing that,” I urged them.I stood and watched the pups play with the toy wolves that had been assigned to them for this training. To help out the pack, I had taken the position of training the young ones. Here, it was essential for the youngest pup to know how to defend themselves in case of any attacks.After coming to the Night Bloomers pack, I realized that my pack had been doing a lot of things wrongly. The way they organized everything, down to the love they share with each other was one I have never seen in any pack. Though my pack lived in harmony, we still had wolves who were at loggerheads with each other like Natalia and I. But here, there was no such thing, everyone loved and treated each other with so much care.“Riley,
RALPHIt has been five years since Aurora left my life, five whole years of venting out my anger on my men for letting her get away and ruining the big plan I had mapped out. If she hadn't escaped, I would have taken over her father's pack, and that loser, Brian’s pack by now. I could recall getting home that day and hearing of her breakout. It made me rummage through the woods but it was as if she disappeared into thin air. There were scents of rogues everywhere and finding the dead bodies of some rogues didn't make it better, as all rogues had the same scent, including Aurora.Moving on since those years and trying to come up with other strategies to accomplish my goals whilst still looking for her, became my daily goal. Lisbeth, my chosen Luna, stayed next to me all through that period, sweet talking and offering me sexual pleasure. I thought I was happy with her and that we were made to be together until I found her wrapped up in another man’s arms, not just any man but one of the
RILEY (AURORA)“We’ve succeeded in taking over the eastern and western parts of Ralph’s pack. I wonder how he is feeling now?” Alpha Brian mumbled to my hearing.It was late at night and I was seated next to him in his study going through a map of the entire layout of Ralph’s pack. Of course, the map was provided by me. I was opportune to tour the Hellhounds pack repeatedly back then, that was before everything went south. Back when I thought that bastard was in love with me. Back when I allowed him to creep his way into my heart. Even though I regretted being with him, I was still thankful for a few things, one being him spending his time touring me around his pack, never did I know that it would come in handy right now. With my advice and strategies, Alpha Brian had succeeded in taking over a part of his pack that was stolen by Ralph. I badly wanted to see the look of defeat on Ralph’s face, I wanted to jeer at him and tell him that more was coming his way, but sadly I couldn't.“How
RILEY (AURORA)“Stay away from Brian, you lose bitch from nowhere!” Sierra yelled, glaring daggers at me.My eyes went down to my little bundle of joy in my arms who was now wide awake and staring at Sierra and me, probably wondering why she was yelling.Yeah, it is true that most people didn't like our presence here. The pack was homogenous and I think my son and I are the first outsiders to be allowed to settle in here. Our presence made a few pack members who knew about us uneasy but Sierra was never one of them. Up until a few months ago, she was really sweet and would always offer to help me out with things. But then the moment Brian let me handle the affairs regarding the Hellhounds pack, she changed drastically and never tried to associate with me, instead she took to making the few people that know about my existence here, despise me. “I don't know where you came from, Riley. But I'm telling you, whatever agenda you have that brought you here won't work. You already have a son
Aurora I watched the faces of the crowd go pale as they saw her head drop to a side and everywhere erupted in chaos as someone shouted. "A dead Alpha!" People stood to leave in a rush knowing the meaning of the very clear statement yet I watched closely. I knew they would come for her.The chaos and noise woke her from her slumber.It took her a while to adjust her eyes to the light but she eventually did and looked around frantically. I had let her sit freely without binding her to the chair so she could lead me to my target. 'Where is he?' I was in her head not as a mind link but as a torment perks of being the blue blood leader actually, I could invade their heads and get them to do my bidding but I rarely used my powers out of courtesy. This was one of the rare occasions. She held her head as if to silence my voice and jumped to her feet. On seeing this most people paused seeing she was alive."She's alive!" Cheers erupted so the ceremony could continue. "Please mount the podi
AuroraHe refused to tell me his name but I wasn’t interested in it, I was more interested in how he was able to numb his scent. "I don't know you, you have the wrong person." He said getting down from the bed to leave."Don't force me to get the information from you because I can and I bet you already know who I am." I stopped him."Just leave me the fuck alone. I said I'm not who you think I am."He was getting agitated, maybe he thought I was pulling his legs and trying to frame him like they had done his mum before he suddenly went missing. "Liar." I lifted his shirt to reveal the mark of my mother's bloodline .I had the same matk in the same spot."Do you still have anything to say for yourself?" I asked when he didn't deny further."What do you want from me? My past is buried." He looked sad and lost. I threw my hand around him and hugged him.He was much older than me but he had suffered a lot and I heard the stories growing up and only got to spend a few years with him durin
AuroraI had less than twenty four hours to either get it right or get it wrong, I realized my heart wasn't beating irregularly because I knew I was in full control yet still I wasn't ready for the worst to come."What are you going to do with her?" Connie asked me as she and Lyon watched the unconscious Zendaya lie in state."Wait, I'll wait for her to come around and snitch on us." I said actually meaning it.I needed her to regain consciousness and call for back up. I was going to end it all where it began. "Then?" Lyon was quite curious."Then the party begins." I told them"Alright now you're beginning to sound exactly as the Alpha would and that's wierd as fuck." Lyon cringed and I laughed but my heart was sad, I hoped the news got to him as well and he made an effort to come see for himself. "Do you think he'll come?" I asked none of them in particular. "I can't say for sure that the news will get to him given that he is not in his pack." Lyon shrugged. He was right, Ralph w
*Ralph*"I am least interested, my response is not changing. His nose flared and his breathing became labored. He looked different and I didn't push my luck since I was unaware of his abilities and dis.What had he done to himself?He had created a monster of himself with no remorse, he had definitely given more to his wolf side with the way he behaved animalistically on impulse. He was also cautious not to start the war first and I suspected that he still wasn't confident enough in his fortification. No matter the elements including magic, an Alpha remained an Alpha with the blessings of the goddess and several different other gifts. I needed to find Aurora and rescue Lyon, those were the most important things to me at the time. I returned with Kristen to where Brian held up with the rest after getting Annora to safety and I realized why Adrian was playing safe,He was already quite outnumbered seeing that we had two Alphas on our side.Completely exhausted I tried to communicate wi
AuroraIt took a while, lots of effort and all what not to get things out of Zendaya and surprisingly she had still not given me the answers I wanted.She had only given a silly condition for a bargain and I thought it quite fair."Just kill me because my tongue swore an oat not to disclose that information so I wont." She had boldly said that when I plucked her tooth one after the other with a plier and got my alibi to pull out her nails one after the other.A beautiful feel of satisfaction I got watching her writhe in pain but it wasn't exactly enough for me.Seeing the lifeless body of father had definitely brought a chill to my spine and blood, I had become cold hearted towards the parties involved and all I wanted to know was who was in charge.After much operations, Zendaya had offered to take us to the location. "Do you think we can trust her?" Connie asked me when I told her we were going to return to ny dad's pack and recover the seat of power since it was still vacant. Conn
RalphIt was like a movie where you watched lovers tear at each other's throats but what did I care?Adrian laid his bed and he was going to lie in it. Hopefully he was going to rest in peace with his father.I watched the tournament and observed Adrian's strength and weaknesses. He healed very fast, his speed was primal too and his attacks very accurate.Definitely, something had happened to him and I could see that he wasn't even fighting Kylie, he was just defending himself and pushing her away so he didn't hurt her until she found the dagger again."Good girl," I muttered as I saw her hand swing very fast before he could notice to stab him from the back as he laid on her trying to subdue her with his huge frame and weight.Like I said, his speed had greatly improved and in a split second, he rolled off her when he finally saw the dagger.I saw the look of shock on Kylie's face when his weight was lifted off her but she was already in full motion and she couldn't stop herself."Kyl
Adrian"I'm sorry." Kylie mouthed.I saw everything I stood for and fought for, fall to the ground but I couldn't rush in and pull out the stake to start treatment for him.It was a bloody scene, my Dad was still not close enough for me to trespass. I felt my head become light."Kylie why?" I felt a hand squeeze my heart tight that she of all people would betray me this much."Oh common, he's a prisoner charged with treason with a death penalty hanging over his head all this while. He was bound to die sooner or later." Ralph said smiling like the devil himself. I didn't see it coming. I knew had a devil side to him.Ralph had raised my hopes very high and taken me to a vulnerable state only to crash me at lightning speed with the worse thunder bolt; my mate.If it was someone else then I would have wasted no time to rip the person into two with the powers I had attained."I guess you can commend me for being a good Alpha now not so?" He paused and grinned like a child. "I have served
AdrianThe shock I received ran through to my bone marrow when my eyes fell on my mate Kylie, what was she doing here?I had picked her scent first but Ralph's blow had destabilized me in my distracted state and I felt the impact move me meters away but I was least bothered about that."Kylie," I called her name but she stood in her spot at his side. What a dirty game Ralph was playing, I knew him as a principled man and the last thing I expected was for him to drag my innocent mate into all of this."Addy, stop all of this please," she had tears in her eyes as Kristen held her hands to the back not letting her run into my longing arms."Baby I..." I lost the words, I could feel the bond pulling me to her, dampening all my vigor and lust for revenge Damn the goddess for such strong bonds of love that came with fated mates, love was the greatest force of attraction but I couldn't back down from my course simply because she asked, I had gone far deep and there was no redemption for me
RalphI turned and saw Adrian, well I was distracted by him so much so that I didn't pay attention to the petite lady that spoke to me first.He was truly standing there, my blood boiled in my veins as I recalled just how much he had betrayed me but something was off about him.He looked lost and drained, like a zombie maybe."Hello, Ralph." His voice was different too, I would have blamed it on magic but I already picked his scent from a mile away."Somewhere in my head I still thought that you'll be decent enough to address me as Alpha but I see that you already severed all the ties." I replied quite calm."There's not much to gain from given that I'm never going to kneel before you." "Bastard," I threw it at him utterly disgusted by his audacity. "More like the Ralph I know, calm doesn't suit you at all." Something was wrong, they had done things to Adrian and he had the look of a murderous monster in his eyes."Where's my mate?" I asked going straight to the point. "Your mate?"
