Aurora's POV “I knew it, Father made a big mistake in judging Tristan,” I said numbly as I entered my room. “My lady, you should calm down,” Elena passed me a glass of water, and I pushed her hand away from my face.“Today, I'm asked to choose, I should choose?” I burst into laughter, “If I save this Marriage today, it only means I will have to save it every day Ava commits a crime.”“My Lady, I think the Lycan is angry because of the statement you made about his eyes,” I glared at Elena.“Whose side are you on?” I questioned and she lowered her gaze apologetically.“My Lady, what do you plan on doing?” Elena asked the question for the hundredth time today.Just as I opened my mouth to answer her, that shape-shifting demon entered my room, “I see you are busy thinking of what to do.”“What gave you the right to enter my room? Don't you have any manners?” I stood up from my head and walked to where she was staining.I didn't want her to take another step into my room, “Think? I don'
Aurora's POV I was done arranging my things; I kept them aside when Tristan sent for them. He had ordered me to come in front of everyone and tell them what I had decided.The moment I entered the meeting room, the eyes of everyone in the family were on me; I looked at everyone's eyes, and just for once, I didn't see sadness; all I saw was happiness.My eyes fell on Tristan, and he seemed nonchalant about the situation, “Please, Aurora, please save our marriage,” Those were the words I heard in my head when I stared into Tristan's eyes.“So what's your decision?” Tristan questioned. I scoffed mentally, wanting me to save the marriage while you save the other woman is crazy work “I have simply decided to save myself,” Confusion set on Tristan's face as he stood to his feet, “I will not save Ava nor our marriage, today you have put me in a position to choose and you will continue to do that so please free me from this sham of a marriage.”A part of me thought he would be happy to hear
Aurora's POV “My Lady, I prepared a bath and some towels for the Lycan wound,” Elena Informed me when I arrived at the west wing and I nodded my head.“Ever since the mustard powder, I haven't trusted you for once, so I will assign some guards to guard around the door,” Travis said, and I nodded my head.My mind wasn't in this scene, my mind was in Ava's threat. Was she really capable of killing the man she loves when she can't have him? Would she really stoop that low?“Elena, you must be tired; you should get some rest,” Elena nodded her head, and my eyes fell on Travis, “You can also stay outside the whole night if you want to.”I entered my room and shut the door behind me before Travis could respond, “You don't look happy that I'm in the room tonight,” I paused and looked up when I heard Tristan's voice.Tristan was sitting on the bed, “That is not the case, I just have a lot on my mind.”“Like how you are the first woman to punish the Lycan king? It has never happened before, s
Aurora's POV I picked up the hand mirror by my side to see what he was talking about. Some strands of my hair were actually white. This has never happened before; I have never passed out when healing someone; come to think of it, I haven't healed a human before. “Did part of your hair turn white because he healed me?” Tristan sat on the bed next to me. My eyes met his gaze, and my head spun in confusion. Was it because of that? Do I use much energy when healing a human? “I don't know, and I don't even have anyone to ask,” I paused, my lips into a thin line as I played with my fingers. “How did you get your powers? This isn't something anyone can possess unless someone from the witch bloodline,” Tristan's question made me freeze for a second, “We all know your Father, who is your Mother?” Tristan's Grandma had asked me the same question some weeks back; I cleared my throat as I said, “I don't really know much about her; she died when I was young, and Father never told me anyt
Aurora’s POVI was still rejoicing in my heart; Elena was helping me get ready for the day when I heard my door burst open, followed by an agitating voice, “What did you do to Tristan?!” With a wave of my hand, Elena stopped dressing me and I turned to look at the shape shifting snake that had just entered my room.I didn’t expect her to come to my room so soon and I didn’t expect her to come with her minions.“I know you lack manners but do you have to show it all the time?” I furrowed my eyebrows, “And Indigo, don't you have any shame? Did you come here with her to question me?”“You can't speak to me,” Ava scoffed, “Is that the reason you are speaking to Indigo?”“What's your reason for coming here? As you can see, I need to prepare for tonight's ball,” I smiled widely and just as I wanted, my smile spited Ava and maybe indigo too.“Who do you think you are to decide if it's time for me to get married or not?!!” Ava yelled and I stared at her blankly.“Me? I'm the queen; you are l
Aurora’s POV“What?” Tristan’s lips curled in confusion, “What did you just say?”I wasn’t confident enough to hold Ava’s bet; I would rather be in a situation where I forced my husband to take her as a mistress than have her do it by herself.“Why are you so surprised? The first time I walked into this room when you thought it was her, you promised her marriage,” I said as I desperately yet patiently awaited Tristan’s reaction.“The situation was different. I only promised her marriage if I didn’t find a good suitor for her, but that isn’t the case right now,” Tristan tried to explain.My eyes held his eyes, “What is the case then?”“Do you know what it means to take a mistress?” Tristan took a step closer but still left a small gap between us as his eyes didn’t break contact with mine.I shook my head as my eyes still locked with his, “Taking a mistress means you are done with your wife and that mistress is the one you truly love.”“What do you know about mistresses!” I scoffed and
Aurora’s POVI had gotten ready in the royal blue gown Elena had picked for me; I walked aimlessly through the crowd of people in the ballroom with Elena by my side.There were different unfamiliar faces I had never seen, and each person I walked past would bow their head to greet me.“Queen Aurora,” one of the ladies who looked like a lady of rank bowed her head to greet me, “It’s such an honor to meet you.”“Same here,” I smiled at her, turned to Elena, and whispered, “Tristan hasn’t introduced me to anyone yet, and they knew me how?”“Their husbands must have shown them your pictures or something; you are married to the Lycan, so everyone would try to gain your favor,” Elena winked, and I smiled at her.Some of them were fake; now I feel bad for Tristan; how does he handle most of these fake people?“Is it me, or Tristan’s grandma has been staring at you since you arrived in this hall?” Elena pointed out something I noticed the moment I entered the ballroom.“I thought it was just
Aurora’s POV “Hmmmm,” I faked a smile on my face and turned to face him, “There is nothing about hypnotizing stuff, we were just talking,” I tried not to sound suspicious.“Okay, do you want to see Grandma?” Tristan asked, and I shook my head, “Then why are you in the aisles of her room?”I bit my lip as realization dawned on me, we were really around her room, “I wanted to speak to her but she is busy,” Elena immediately spoke while I was thinking of what to say. What a savior she is.“Okay,” Tristan said to her, then turned to face me with a smile on my face, “We should go to the ballroom; I should officially introduce you to everyone who has the queen consort and Luna of all the packs.”“Sure,” I smiled at him, “Let’s go,” I said to both Tristan and Elena and we both went to the ballroom.When we entered the ballroom, everywhere became as silent as a graveyard, but the difference was people were staring at us; they were whispering and watching us take every step till we got to the
Tristan's POV Ava smiled, took a deep breath as she twisted her lips, “A man who is gentle and kind, he is thoughtful, handsome, tall, has a tattoo, emerald eyes, and is a powerful figure; who knows, he could also have lots of hidden past.”I looked at Ava weirdly, “That’s strange; your type is weird; why would you want someone with a hidden past? Trust me, it’s not the best at all.”Ava smirked, “Trust me, I know what I want and I will get him.”“Okay then, I will communicate this to Aurora and make sure to find you such a man,” I rub her hair gently, and her smile widens, “I have picked enough flowers; I should go to bed now.”“Yes, I should go to bed too,” Ava smiled. We both entered the palace but went to our different rooms.I couldn’t sleep so I spent the whole night arranging the flowers and walking around my room till it was dawn. “Sir, the private breakfast is ready,” Travis said when he entered my room, “It looks like you didn’t get any sleep,” He paused and looked at me f
Tristan’s POV Ever since Aurora was kidnapped and she started talking, she has had a special place in my life. I don’t know how to tell her and show her. Making Aurora choose between our marriage and Ava, I just wanted to see how much this marriage meant to her. When I realized it didn’t mean anything to her yet, I had to save it with my hands and make sure this marriage meant something to her. After making that toast and introducing Aurora to everyone, my eyes fell on her; at first, she looked happy, and then I could see her eyes were looking at someone in the crowd. “Aurora are you okay?” I asked when I noticed her attention wasn’t there. I followed her eyes, and anger flashed through my head when I saw her eyes were on Elijah, her ex-husband. “I will be right back,” Aurora said and hurriedly walked after him. I felt dejected, she didn’t even hear what I asked her. I followed behind her, I tried calling after her, but she didn’t respond; I hid behind the pillar when she calle
Aurora’s POV “Lycan,” Elijah bowed his head as a sign of respect.“Tristan, I didn’t know you were there, when did you get here?” I asked, trying to organize myself, “How much did you hear?” That was my main question.“What is a member of the council doing with the queen?” Tristan questioned as he stood by my side, “I would also like to know the secret being shared.”“It’s nothing, the queen only wanted me to bow before her,” Elijah answered before I could answer.“Have you done that?” Tristan questioned, and Elijah looked at him with surprise, “From the look on your face, the answer is definitely a No, so why haven’t you done as the queen said?”“I ….I ….I”Elijah was still trying to form his words when Tristan said, “Everyone has to eventually bow their head to the queen so doing when she asked doesn’t mean you would disobey her, she is your queen and above you in all ways so do I have to keep on talking or will you do what’s needed?”I could see the deep shock on Elijah’s face; he
