Aurora's POV

I froze when I saw the look on Scott's face; something wasn't right; I could feel it in my soul.

“What? What? What was going on?” I asked but Scott didn't answer because he didn't see what I did.

“What news has arrived?” Tristan asked for me and my eyes were fixed on Scott for any reaction.

My legs became weak and I fell to the floor when I saw tears drop from Scott's eyes to his hand. Just then, I was sure it wasn't good news.

What unpleasant news must have come? I pray it won't break me.

“Master Saint and Master Justin have passed away,” My world shattered when I heard those words. I guess my prayers won't be answered now.

“How did it happen?” Elena asked behind Scott, “They were fine just a moment ago.”

“They had consumed poison at the reception,” Scott announced and I shut my eyes tight.

How? What poison?

“Get the carriages and horses ready, we shall visit my in-laws tonight,” Tristan declared and walked out of the room.

Tears refused to drop out of my eyes

  • Aurora, The Lycan King's Mute Mate   Chapter 17

    Aurora's POV “Hmmm?” Both tears of happiness and sadness rolled down my eyes. I was happy I finally spoke but sad that Father never got to hear me speak. He wanted to hear his daughter's voice. “I….I…. spoke…” I cried and hugged Elena. “You lost your voice when you lost your Mother and gained it back when you lost your father,” Elena hugged me tight, “Say something.” “El…Ele…Elena,” I smiled and Elena giggled excitedly. My voice felt foreign to me. The last time I heard my voice, I was a child, but now it was different. Elena stood up, “I should inform everyone,” I hurriedly held her hand and shook my head. “No, we shouldn't yet; someone had tried to kill me on purpose with that poison. Father and Justin had taken that in my place,” I gave Elena's hand a light squeeze, “I want to find the murderer before anyone finds out, can you help me do that?” I will destroy that person who made my Father and brother lie like that on the floor. Losing my husband, Alpha Elijah, didn't make m

    Aurora's POV I stood up from the floor when I heard Ava's voice, I just needed to see who she was talking to. Anger surged through my blood when I saw she was talking to my stepmother. What nonsense is this? What kind of conversation was that? “I don't really know,” Mother wiped her tears as more tears flooded her eyes. “Indigo needs someone to be by her side right now, and my family can offer that support right now,” Ava held her stepmother's hand as she spoke sweetly. “What madness is that?” I questioned and Elena immediately told them what I said. “Why are you being heartless? I just want your sister to spend some time with us, especially now that she lost her father and brother,” Ava said with a calm voice. I shook my head, “Indigo won't stay in my home; she will never step her feet Into my house,” I said angrily, and Elena conveyed my message. “You are just a daughter in law while I'm a daughter, so I believe you know who has more right in that house?” Ava said slyly, mak

    Tristan's POV Seeing Aurora in that situation hurt; I could understand her as I had lost someone before, and I hope she copes better. I felt extremely hurt for her when the news got to us. “I need you to secretly investigate who had poisoned the drink at the wedding reception,” I said to Travis and he nodded his head. “Do you think it's someone from this household that wanted Aurora dead?” Travis asked a question that I didn't have an answer to. “That's impossible; no one from this house is capable of killing, and it has never happened; just do well to find out what happened that…” I paused when someone opened my room door. “What gives you the right to enter my room without knocking!!!” I yelled without looking back to see who had entered my room. The only person who could enter my room without any announcement was standing right in front of me. “What gives you the right to make everyone wear a mourning dress in this house?!!” My mother yelled. I turned to see her with the ladie

    Aurora's POV“She was trained to be an assassin,” I said the moment I entered my room.“Who?” Elena inquired. I sighed and sat on the bed.“Ava, Ava was trained to be an assassin; that's the only reason why she openly challenged me,” I fist my hair in my hand. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, but I couldn't.“I wondered what would make a mere Lady to challenge the Luna, the queen consort, this all makes sense now,” Elena nodded her head as she spoke, she snapped her finger right in front of my face, “Does she plan to kill you at the duel tonight?”My jaw dropped in confusion, “What do you mean the duel tonight?Elena blinked her eyes, “Weren't you aware? Ava had placed the duel tonight, that's a few hours from now.”Why did she place the duel tonight? Everyone knew how exhausted I would be today; what was her motive?Elena held my hand and gave it a light squeeze, bringing my attention to her, “Do you think Ava knows something about Father and Justin's death? Is there a reas

  • Aurora, The Lycan King's Mute Mate   Chapter 21

    Aurora's POV I heard two metals clash against each other, and I didn't feel the impact of the sword, or maybe I was in the afterlife. I slowly opened my eyes to see Tristan standing next to me, his sword shielding me from Ava's sword. In a swift moment, Tristan pushed Ava with his sword and her sword fell to the ground, “Ava, That's enough.” “It's a duel Tristan and there are rules!!” Ava yelled and Travis helped me up on my feet. “My Lady!!” Elena ran to hug me with tears in her eyes. “I can see that but do expect me to sit and watch you kill my wife?!” Tristan yelled, and everyone stood to their feet. The word wife seemed foreign, he didn't treat me like one. “Rules are rules Lycan,” Ava gritted. “I make the rules!! I'm the rules!! I can change the rules anytime, Ava, and right now, I'm changing the rules,” Tristan threw his sword on the floor, “I declare you the winner, and that's it; there is no need to kill your opponent.” Ava glared at me; if eyes could kill, I

    Aurora's POV“Interesting,” Tristan laughed, then his face turned serious, “As from today henceforth, when I'm with Aurora, the two of you mustn't utter a single word,” Tristan warned Elena and Scott.I walked to my desk and picked up a pen and paper, “Then, as from today henceforth, we shall use this pen and paper to communicate,” I wrote and handed it to him.Tristan read the paper and tore it, “I won't do that; if you don't communicate to him, then there is no need to say anything.”I handed him the second paper that I had written on and he read it out loud to everyone's hearing, “Why did you marry me? I need nothing but the truth.” Tristan tore the paper with a smile on his face, “Everyone leave the room Immediately!!” Tristan ordered. Elena looked at me and I nodded my head in approval.“What were you saying?” Tristan took a step closer to me when everyone left the room, “Why did I marry you?” he sat on my bed, “That's an interesting question, why do you think I married you?”Wh

    Aurora's POV“My Lady, the Mustard powder is ready,” Elena handed me the bottle as I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself.“Thank you, inform….” I paused and hid the bottle inside my drawer when I heard my room door open.Why doesn't this family knock before entering my room?!I frowned my face but quickly masked it with a smile when I saw it was Grandma, “You are up so early?”I smiled and nodded my head, “I want to talk to you about something,” Grandma seemed worried for some reason.“I will be outside in case you need me,” Elena said and I nodded my head.I pulled out a chair for Grandma, and she sat, and I sat opposite her, “I'm really worried about something,” I nodded my head, urging her to continue.“That day at the wedding reception party, when they were to test Tristan's eyesight, did you pray that day? Did you desperately pray for him?” Curiosity sparked all over Grandma's face.Her question was weird, I didn't understand what she was trying to say. When she saw t

    Aurora's POV We all ran to Tristan's room, where we heard the screaming; Tristan's sister-in-law opened the door without knocking. “What was that scream….” Grandma paused when we saw Ava in Tristan's arms. “It.. hurt...I … can't… bear… it..” Ava cried as she tightened her hold on “Are you okay?” Indigo rushes to Ava. “My child, What happened?” Tristan's mother pulled Ava away from Tristan's hold and hugged her. “My body is itching a lot after I finish bathing with the water I prepared in Tristan's room; I can't bear it, Mother,” Ava cried as she used her hands to scratch her body. My eyes met Elena's eyes and I could see them glimpse with happiness. I removed my eyes and lowered my gaze. This wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to teach Tristan a lesson and now Ava has fallen into the trap I didn't set for her. “Who prepared the bath with you?” Tristan's mother asked and Ava shook her head with tears rolling down her eyes. “Nobody Mother, nobody,” Ava's body was red and

  • Aurora, The Lycan King's Mute Mate   Chapter 64

    Aurora’s POV “Grandma,” I ran to sit where she was lying with tears all over my face, “Go and get someone,” I raised her head and placed it on my lap.“Grandma, please stay with me,” I tapped her face continuously. Grandma managed to raise her hand, she pointed at the beginning of the stairs. I looked at the stairs and there was no one there, just as I turned my attention to Grandma, I noticed a shadow or maybe it was my imagination.“Grandma, who did this to you!” I questioned and a lone tear left Grandma’s eyes before she closed her eyes.“Grandma!!!” Tristan yelled. I turned to look at him, and I noticed that almost everyone in the family and guests followed behind him.He ran to pick Grandma from my leg, “What happened to her?” Tristan yelled, “Get the physician immediately and take Aurora to her room.” Before I could protest, Tristan ran with Grandma in his arms, “Seal the gate,” Travis ordered, “No one leaves this palace until the Lycan orders it.”Elena helped me stand up fr

    Aurora’s POV I felt a rush of dizziness hit me when I opened my eyes, “My lady,” Elena rushed to my side. She helped me sit up on the bed and handed me a cup of water.I returned the cup after drinking from it, “What happened?” I questioned. The last thing I remembered was me trying to stand up in Tristan’s room.“My lady, I don’t know, the Lycan brought you here and told me to look after you,” Elena picked up a napkin and used it to wipe my lips, “What did you do?” I looked outside and everywhere was dark. The party must have started, “Has the party started?” I questioned to be sure.“It started not too long ago; you have been out since morning,” Elena said; I removed the cover cloth from my legs and climbed down the bed.I was about to fall when Elena quickly grabbed onto me, “Where are you going?”“Our plan, I can’t just let it flop,” I pushed her away from myself lightly and held the bed to stand on my own.“My lady, you are weak and part of your hair is white,” I already had a

    Aurora’s POV Walking around the ballroom, I was filled with nothing but happiness seeing the ballroom arranged just the way I wanted it to be.Tristan opened the door to the ballroom, “What kind of instructions did you give?” He held my wrist and turned me to face him.I pulled my wrist out of his hold, “Can’t you see you are hurting me?”“Why are there a lot of mirrors in the ballroom and all over the kingdom?” Tristan questioned. I smiled internally, Elena and Scott must have been quick with it.I wanted to tell him the truth badly, but I didn’t know if he would believe anything I said at the moment.“The people cannot afford mirrors, so I placed them in every corner of the kingdom, and for the ballroom, I just wanted everyone to admire their beauty as they danced away the night,” I lied, and Tristan scoffed.“Why didn’t you ask me before going ahead with this?” Tristan's face turned red. Anyone could clearly see the way he was holding his anger.Instead of arguing more, I just sai

    Aurora’s POV I accidentally gasped when Diana began to apply pressure on her personal maid’s neck, “Who is there?” She let go of the maid’s neck.I wasn’t scared of her, I wanted to make myself known to her. Just as I was about to open the door, someone wrapped his hand around my mouth and pulled me away.“Have you gone..” I paused when I saw it was Scott, “Why did you do that?” Scott put his finger on his lips, “Shhhhh,” he held my hand and led me back to my room.When I entered the room, Scott shut the door behind us and Elena was sitting on my bed. The moment she saw me, she ran and engulfed me in a tight hug.“You two are back early,” I was surprised, I thought they wouldn’t be back till like two days.“I found something. I didn’t know if I should continue looking for more information or if I should inform you personally,” Maybe it was just me, but Scott looked worried.“Is anything the matter?” I inquired, he looked way too serious.“Diana, she is married,” I looked at Scott wi

    Aurora’s POV “That’s the Lycan’s cup?” I asked to be sure I heard well and Travis nodded his head.Why did she hold it like that? I’m sure she knew that wasn’t her cup.Without hesitation, I opened the door and I noticed she hurriedly dropped the cup back on the table.“Are you meant to interrupt us?” Diana questioned.I ignored her, “I want to speak to you, Lycan; it is important.”“Queen Aurora,” Diana yelled and ignored her again.“It is not about our marriage; I’m here as a subject to speak to his lordship,” I said to Tristan, and he looked at me with confusion, “I will appreciate it if Queen Diana can excuse us.”“Lycan,” Diana whined.“Excuse us, I will call you later,” Tristan used his hand to signal Travis to escort Diana out of his room.“What do you wish to speak about?” Tristan sat on the chair and I took the one opposite him.“I do not know which of the packs but one has fallen sick and the disease is spreading, I met a lady when I was locked up and she said she saw a sha

    Aurora’s POV Was he speaking to me or was he not? He didn’t look at me when he said, “Don’t embarrass me,” Maybe he was warning Diana.“My lady, what are you thinking so hard about?” Elena asked when I got down from the carriage and I handed her my cloak.“I thought you would be half dead by now,” I heard Ava’s agitating voice.I looked around, and I didn’t see her minion, “I didn’t think you would be waiting for me, and I haven’t seen your minion in a long time.”“You are a Queen so I believe you know how to look for people,” Ava smiled.“Why should I look for her? She is my enemy,” I smiled back at Ava even though I didn’t have it in me to smile.“What was the judgment?” I heard Grandma’s voice from inside the house. I used my hand to lightly push Ava from the entrance of the door.I entered the house and greeted Grandma and Mother, “I was given thirty days to prove that I didn’t do anything,” I lowered my gaze, “If I’m not able to prove it, then I will dissolve my marriage with th

    Aurora’s POV I was made to stand before the council member; Tristan was sitting on his chair as judge and king, Diana was standing next to me, and some other figures were in the crowd.“Present your case,” Tristan announced strictly, not once since I entered this place did he look at me.“I’m the legal advocate and I’m here to help Queen Diana get justice against her co wife, Queen Aurora, who has abused her physically and verbally and maltreated her,” Diana’s legal advocate said.“What? I abused you? Where? How? When?” I yelled and Diana hid behind her legal advocate.“You can see what she is doing, if Queen Aurora can behave like this with Queen Diana in public then don’t you think she can do more in private,” The legal advocate said and never in my 20 years plus in life did I feel like pulling someone’s hair until they become bald till this very moment.“Do you have any evidence?” Tristan questioned and for the first time since I got here, he glanced at me.“Evidence?” Diana spoke

  • Aurora, The Lycan King's Mute Mate   Chapter 57

    Aurora’s POV I sat there helplessly, not knowing what to think or what to do; why did Diana report me?“What? When was that? Why wasn’t I informed? Where is that Diana?!!” Tristan yelled; he had so many questions but no answer.“Why exactly is she being summoned?” Grandma asked Travis.“I do not know the details, I was only asked to inform the king and queen so they would be prepared,” Travis responded.“I will find out,” Just as Tristan turned to leave, the guards from the council came in, “What gave you the right to enter the palace?!!!”“We are sorry, but we have been ordered to come with Queen Aurora,” One of the guards bowed his head, and the other followed.“What are her charges, that it had to go through the council and not me,” Tristan asked angrily.“Her charges?” A man from the group of guards scoffed as he walked forward and I immediately recognized him. He was among the men who tried to prove Tristan couldn’t see a thing in color.“Queen Aurora’s charges are maltreatment

    Aurora’s POV I used my hand to trace the tattoo on Tristan’s back in the dark. I turned off the lamps in the room after we were done, I was too shy to face him. “Aren’t you going to bed? You have been doing that for hours,” His back vibrated against my hand and I immediately stopped.Tristan turned to face me, he stood up and put on one of the lanterns in the room, “Aurora,” His voice sounded disturbed.This was the same tone he used earlier, “Are you okay?” I hurriedly asked out of concern, “The mark, the mark,” I touched his hand and gave him a soft nod when he paused, “The mark on your belly, how did you get it?”I removed the cover sheet from my body, pointed at the mark, and he nodded his head, “It’s a birthmark; even my mom had it.”“Your… your mom had it?” Tristan looked even more disturbed, “Do you know if it’s something anyone can have? Or..”I placed my hand on his chin, “Tristan breathe,” He paused, then took a deep breath, “Is there something that’s troubling you?”Tris
