Ava’s POV“I’m surprised to see you here,” Indigo said when she opened the door.I looked around as I entered the house, I never thought I would enter the house of the woman who ruined my happiness. “I couldn’t wait anymore. You are preparing for your marriage with Alpha Elijah, and I needed the information I asked for,” I smiled at her as we walked upstairs to her room.“I heard something,” Indigo passed me a chair and I sat on it.“What did you hear?” I was curious.“I heard that my sister is pregnant,” Indigo’s eyes softened and she said in a calm tone. Amusement danced on my face, did she all of a sudden care about her sister? That would be funny if she did, “Yes, is there any issue?” Indigo paused; she bit her lips; she opened her mouth to say something but closed it, “You can say what you want to say.” I urged her. I was excited for some reason, I wanted her to say what she wanted to say.“I…. We…”“You didn’t offer me anything to drink,” I interrupted her with a forced smile
Aurora’s POV “Are you asking me this again?” I turned to face her. She was up with her nonsense again.“I just wanted to know how much you trusted Tristan,” Ava crossed her hands on her chest with a smirk plastered on her face.I walked closer to her, “I trust Tristan more than I trust my own self.”Ava snorted, “No hesitation? That’s funny, you shouldn’t trust people too much but that’s okay, keep it up.”“What exactly do you want to say?” I would have felt Ava was just trying to cause some confusion, as usual, but what happened at the dining table told me otherwise.“Nothing, take care of yourself,” My hands instinctively wrapped around my tummy when Ava’s eyes fell on it.“Do you agree with what mother said?” Ava removed her eyes from my tummy and looked me in the eyes.“With what?” Ava questioned, “Oh, that she doesn’t want you to bear the heir?” Ava answered her own question before I could, “I don’t think you want to know my own answer.”I guess I knew her own answer; she would
Tristan’s POV“What madness was that?” I yelled at Mother as I threw her on her bed, “What did you mean downstairs.”Mother has been driving me crazy ever since we found out about Aurora’s pregnancy.Mother sat up with a smile on her face, “Why? Is my son angry?”I was amused, she was smiling and nothing was funny, “Am I angry? Is that even a question?” I scoffed, “My wife shared some good news and the first thing you thought about was laying a curse on her.”Mother bit her finger, “She shared it at the wrong time; my mother-in-law is on her deathbed, and she wants to celebrate? Who raised her?”I couldn’t believe my ears, “Why are you angry on behalf of Grandma? Grandma was happy when I told her she would be expecting another great-grandchild.”“Okay, so I guess we are done here,” Mother stood up to leave.I immediately grabbed her hand, “Why do you hate Aurora so much? What has she ever done to you?”Mother forcefully jerked her hand off mine, “Do you not know why I hate that woman
Aurora’s POV I couldn’t ask Tristan because of the situation at home and even if I did ask him about Skylar, I don’t know how he might react.“Skylar’s only mistake was falling in love with the Lycan, a witch, and a wolf can never be together, they both knew and were willing to risk it all, they even wanted to run away, Odessa wasn’t in support of it, she would rather die than see her child suffer, Odessa pleaded with Skylar not to run away, she even begged the Queen then to stop them,” The right state council let out a deep breath, “The Queen promised to set everything right and she did in her own way” The right state council scoffed, “Everyone believed that it was the Queen mother who killed Skylar but it was actually the Queen.”“What are you saying? Do you mean Grandma didn’t kill Skylar?” I questioned, “Was it the Queen who killed Skylar?” The right state council nodded his head, “Why didn’t mother want them to be together? And why did the Queen mother forbid the name if she
Aurora’s POV “Where are you coming from and where are you going to?” Ava’s annoying voice rang from behind me.I paused, turned back to look at her with a huge smile on my face, “Where I am coming from is none of your business and can’t you see I’m going to my room?”“I was just checking up on you,” Ava twirled her hair with her finger, “I mean, I saw tears in Tristan’s eyes earlier and I was wondering where you went.”Tears in Tristan’s eyes? What was this woman saying? “What happened to him?” I questioned with a sense of urgency.Ava shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t know about that but what I do know is that his second wife is giving him a shoulder to lean on why his first wife.”Diana is also his wife; those are the words I tried telling myself, but deep down, I didn’t want it, and I knew she wasn’t the real Diana.I kept a straight face, “Is that all?” I questioned nonchalantly with my left eyebrow raised.“If I were you, I wouldn’t disturb their moment,” Ava smirked, “Who knows,
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
Aurora's POVMy world crashed before my eyes, I was angry, I was sad yet I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't even express myself.“She has to return to her pack,Will she be accepted?I don't think Alpha Elijah marked her as his mate,What will she do now?Will she be bullied again?Who will accept her now?Even if someone was going to accept her, it would be someone of a lower rank or someone who doesn't have a status,Her family will definitely have a lot to spend,She might be alone forever,Or she might end up being a mute mistress,What will happen to her now?” I shut my eyes tight as I could hear these whispers loud and clear. I couldn't dare look into their eyes, I could feel them judging me.I laughed within myself, I should be the one rejecting him in front of everyone but he was doing it, my life was a fucking joke.I walked to meet Indigo, “Please, save me, please.”Indigo looked at me with indifference, this was the first time she looked at me this way, she had al

Aurora’s POV “My lady,“ Elena called when she opened my room door, “Are you okay?”“I said I didn’t want to see anyone,” I replied disheartened.“I’m not just anyone,” Elena sat by my side, “I see, your thing has already been moved,” Elena said as she looked around my empty room.Tristan had moved everything to the north wing despite I said I didn’t feel like doing it anymore, “Are you angry?” I paused what I was doing and turned to face Elena, “Wouldn’t you be angry if your mother-in-law cursed your child before it was born?” “I understand how you feel, but that doesn’t mean you should shut everyone out; you have been in here since last night; even the Lycan is worried about you,” Elena spoke softly, “He defended you in front of his mother.”“Elena, I know she doesn’t like me but can’t she pretend for the sake of her son’s unborn child?” I hissed, “I hate her; why was she so angry, as if she was expecting something to be the mother of his first child.”Elena touched my hair gently
Aurora’s POV “So what’s the problem?” Tristan questioned the physician, “I hope she is okay?”I sat on the bed, looking at the physician; he was done with the examination, and all we needed was the results.My racing heart calmed down when a smile made its way to the physician’s face, he bowed his head, “Congratulations, the Queen is expecting.”My eyes lit up and a bright smile followed, “Am I pregnant?” I stoop on the bed.“Yes, you are pregnant, Queen Aurora,” The physician said with so much happiness. “I’m pregnant, I’m going to be a mother,” I giggled excitedly, “Tristan I’m going to be a mother,” I jumped on the bed. I don’t know how to explain how I felt, but I was extremely happy, and I couldn’t stop smiling.Tristan held my hand, “Be careful so you won’t fall,” Tristan stretched out his hand, “Come here,” He said with a huge smile on his face. I walked closer to him and he carried me in his arms to the ground.“I will send down the list of things you should take, and you s
Aurora’s POV “What did he say about your report?” I asked Travis dryly. “You seem jealous of something, my Queen; what is it?” Travis questioned when I sighed for the hundredth time this evening. I wasn’t jealous, I was lowkey angry that I was asked to walk Grandma while Diana was asked to the Lycan room, “What’s the Lycan doing?” “The Lycan is resting,” Travis pointed at Tristan’s balcony. “Who is in this room now?” I questioned, and Travis gave me a weird look, “I mean, did he send for anybody?” I turned to Travis when he didn’t reply to me, “My lady, you should go straight to the point; beating around the bush doesn’t suit you.” I bit my lips in embarrassment, “Why did the Lycan send for Diana?” “Tristan did?” Travis seemed confused, “I’m not aware of that, the only person who he agreed to meet was his mother.” A small smile made its way to my face. That sly shape shifting snake, was she trying to make me jealous or something? “Never mind,” My smile widened, “You can g
Aurora’s POV I dropped the book I was reading on the floor and sighed, “The Lycan is so hard to see these days, where is he? What is he even up to these days?”“I do not know that,” Travis replied with a straight face and I sighed deeper, “I haven’t seen him lately.”It’s been weeks, and I haven’t set my eyes on the Lycan; the last time I saw him was in the library. I wonder what he was doing.“Staying in the garden and watching the Lycan’s balcony day and night is creepy,” Travis said.“Why are you even here?” I raised my eyebrows. I don’t even know why he has been following me up and down like a puppy.“My lady,” Elena entered the part of the garden I was in with a huge smile on her face.My eyes lit when I saw her smile, I stood up and ran to her, “Did you see the Lycan?”“Yes,” My smile widened, “But that’s not what I came to tell you.”The smile instantly dropped, “What did you come to tell me?” I sighed and sat back on the swing, “What news is worth smiling.”“The right state c
