Aurora's POV “Father, please help me,” Those were the words that I had been murmuring for a long time; they had turned into my favorite words. I don't know how long I have been here, I can't even tell if it's day or night. I wasn't given any food, the only water that passes through my throat is the water poured on me to wake me up. I only know when the day changes because Ava comes here with different clothes. “It's time for your injection,” The nurse said and I looked at her weakly. That's how my life has been: injection and the electric chair, and when Ava comes, she always hits me and uses a knife or something sharp on me. “Why… are… you…. Doing… this?” I managed to ask Ava, despite the pain I was in. I hid my hand very well under the chain, so Ava wouldn't notice; I had managed to lose my hand free, but I was waiting for the right to use it. “Me?” Ava smiled and I looked at her with anger. How can she smile over something like this? “You hit Tristan with a vase, and I sa
Tristan's POV I sat on the floor as my brain was all over the place, I had searched everywhere but nothing, no single sign of her anywhere. I was scared, what if something had happened to her? What if Indigo had done something to her? The more these thoughts crossed my mind, the more scared I became. “It's noon and nothing, I think we should stop already,” One soldier complained to Travis. “We have searched far and wide but nothing; if someone had really taken her, then shouldn't we check the lakes?” Another soldier suggested and it made my blood boil. They wouldn't dare say this to me but they would say it to Travis because he was also a soldier. “Have you gone mad?!!” Travis yelled before I could interfere, “The queen is missing and this is all you can think of.” I have never seen Travis worried about a woman this way, did he really care about Aurora that much? Were they friends? How did the friendship even grow? I walked closer to them, “Search around this area; if
Tristan's POV “What….. what…. What…. Does that mean?” I asked when I couldn't understand the eye contact between the woman and the physician. “Lycan, please calm down,” Travis said to me but I shook my head. “Do something, my wife is bleeding!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “Take him outside,” The physician instructed and Travis dragged me outside. “You all should return to your place of work,” One of the soldiers instructed and they all left the front of the physician's house. “Tristan, Tristan,” Travis called, and I looked at him, “I need you to be strong; nothing is going to happen to her.” I shook my head, “Did you hear what they said, she doesn't have a pulse.” “You know very well that doesn't mean anything,” Travis tried to make the situation better but I wasn't having it. I placed my hand on my head, “You don't get it; my curse has followed her because she married me; she is in danger now; I shouldn't have married her.” “I have seen the woman who stabbed her in th
Ava's POV Ever since I was adopted into this family, I have always desired one thing and it was to become queen one day. I have dreamt of standing by Tristan's side as his wife, Luna, and Queen; I was promised so much by everyone. It was going to be given to me but that damn woman went ahead to snatch everything away from me. “My Lady, please keep still,” I paused when one of the maids who was taking off my dress spoke. I raised my hand and slapped her across the cheek, “How dare you talk to me in that tone?” “I'm sorry, my Lady, I was just trying to take off your dress,” I was stunned to speak; how dare she? “Leave immediately,” the head maid said, “My Lady, I'm sorry she is new, I will get someone else to do it.” “Don't worry about that. I will help her,” Indigo, a Godsent in my life, said, and I smiled at her. I couldn't keep still as Indigo removed my dress; I kept wondering why Tristan would find her; I couldn't even send a letter, and why did Tristan even go and find h
Tristan's POV “Wow,” Mother clapped her hands as she approached the field, “Look who decided to come home.” “Mother,” I greeted. Mother gave me a tight hug,” I'm glad that you are safe, do you know how worried I was about you?” Mother pulled away from the hug and her eyes fell on something behind me, “Who is she?” I turned to get a better understanding of what she was talking about, “She?” I pointed at who I assumed she was talking about and she nodded her head, “That's the woman who tried to kill Aurora.” “You found Aurora?” I nodded my head to my mother's question, “My dream has been short-lived.” “I know you don't like the fact that I'm married to her, but you shouldn't wish ill on her; she is still my wife,” I defended. “How … did she say how she got Aurora ?” I glanced at Ava when she questioned. For some reason, Ava looked stressed and lost. “I don't know anything, let's find out,” I signaled for them to stop whipping her. “Spare me, Lycan please spare me,” The young l
Aurora's POV I tried to open my eyes, but all I felt was immense pain; my eyelids were heavy as hell, and the more I tried to open, the more headache I felt. My body ached so much that I couldn't dare to move. It felt like I was locked in a small box that I couldn't move. Wait, am I dead? Is that why I can't move? “Call the physician, Aurora is struggling to open her eyes,” I sighed mentally when I heard Tristan's voice. It means I'm still living. I managed to open my eyes after so much struggling and the first person I saw was Tristan sitting by my side and looking worried. “Oh, thank goodness, my lady is awake,” Elena cried out loud; I wanted to move so I could give her a hug, but I felt a sharp pain in my back, so I just relaxed back on the bed. “Aurora, are you okay?” I was surprised that Tristan would ask such a question. I didn't have an answer for a man who allowed his mistress to try to kill me. The physician came, he sat me up on the bed and did some check up, “I wi
Aurora's POVAs I stepped into the bathroom, the sweet smell of Jasmine filled the air. The warm light of the candles illuminated the room making my skin feel at peace.The tender hand of my right handmaid, Elena gently loses the lace of my corset and I watched as the dress fell on the floor revealing my body to the maids.I climbed into the tub and let the warm water calm my body. I had a long day, today was I and Elijah's sixth wedding anniversary and I had to plan the party.“My lady, what do you plan on doing tonight?” Elena, my best friend asked as she poured warm rose and milk water on my hair.After the death of my mother, I had to move in with my Father and step family and that was how I met Elena, she was a maid there and we became friends.“Did they arrange Elijah's room yet?” I asked in sign language.I was able to hear but I couldn't speak, I was mute, people of the pack called me dumb and never respected me because of it.Everyone of my personal maids and guards had to le
Aurora's POVMy heart sank seeing the position they were locked in, my husband Elijah and my sister Indigo were locked in an intimate embrace. Indigo was sitting on the desk, her legs wrapped around Elijah's waist and they were both naked. “I finally get to have you in the room alone,” It sounded like torture hearing Indigo moan out those words.“I have missed you,” I clenched my fist so hard.Indigo's eyes met mine or maybe it was just my imagination, she smiled, “I love you,” she kissed him on the lips.My personal bodyguard, Scott, also Elena's mate, closed the door, “Luna, I think it's time to welcome the guest.”“Are you aware of this?” I asked angrily and he ignored me, he knew. Scott knew about the affair of my husband with my sister. How could he not tell me?“Do you also think I'm a joke?” Tears rolled down my eyes.“I just wanted to protect you, I'm sorry,” Scott apologized, I didn't want to listen to anything so I ran away.“Just let her be,” I heard Elena say.I ran to t

Tristan's POV “Aren't you worried about Aurora?” Travis said as we both prepared for our sword training. We were already trained but sometimes we like training more, especially late at night when everyone is sleeping. “Don't you dare mention that name in the palace ever again,” I warned, “She and her servants left on their own accord, it's been four days, if they wanted to return they would have but they aren't here so it would only mean they are happy where they are.” “Was I the only one who found it weird that Ava found the letter first and no one, not a single soul saw the queen consort leave this palace on the night of the ball?” Travis has been saying this word since the day Aurora left the place. I was angry when Ava took the nurse to Aurora's room the next day after the ball, and she wasn't there; we only found her letter. In the letter, she asked us not to bother looking for her as she had gone far away and would never return. “Why are you blaming Ava again? I had escorte
Aurora's POV I paced around the room, thinking of what to do, when I saw my door burst open, “Who do you think you are to come into the Queen's…” Elena questioned but paused. I went to check why she had paused; Ava, Indigo, the nurse, and some other strange men were standing right in front of the door. Why were they here? Who are those men? “She is the one who is mentally unstable; you can take her,” my eyes widened, and I began to shake my head aggressively in disagreement. “That's a lie; the queen is perfectly fine, and are you following her orders over the Queen's order?” Elena stood in my front shielding me. I wished she could really shield me from them. “This isn't Lady Ava's order, this is the Queen's order,” I wasn't even surprised, “Bring her,” the nurse ordered the men she came with. I knew someone from the family would give the order. “Is the Lycan king aware of this madness?” Elena questioned. At this point, I could already see my life before my eyes. “The Lycan kin
Tristan's POV I seriously don't know what Aurora was thinking; she was trying to harm me, and now she harmed Ava; what if she had harmed herself in the process? She should have thrown that vase. Mother and Grandma will definitely make sure she doesn't go unpunished, and Mother doesn't even like her. “Are you going to watch Lady Ava give Lady Aurora such a punishment? Today is her first official ball as Queen, Luna, and your wife,” my head was all over the place, so I didn't care about what Travis was saying at the moment, “Mental asylum?” “Travis not now, please,” I was trying to think. This shouldn't be happening right now but it was. “What she said was it the truth?” I lifted my gaze to meet Travis's gaze; I raised my eyebrows so he would know I was confused, “She said you married her because you wanted to use her; is that the truth?” “I promise Travis, it isn't like that…” “What abilities was she talking about? You said you had a special reason for marrying her and I always
