Aurora’s Point of View

The boardroom was filled with the hum of low voices, the subtle clicking of laptops, and the rustling of papers as the meeting went on. We were in the middle of a major discussion about a new construction project—a high-end residential complex that Eduardo’s company was bidding on. As I sat at the long, polished table, my attention kept drifting from the presentation slides to Eduardo, who sat at the head of the table.

He was calm and collected as always, his eyes sharp as he addressed his team. I admired how he handled these meetings with such ease, delegating responsibilities, asking the right questions, and commanding the room.

“Let’s focus on securing the land first,” Eduardo said, his voice deep and authoritative. “We need to ensure that the environmental assessment report is clean. Aurora, do you have the final analysis from the firm?”

I straightened in my seat, pushing aside my wandering thoughts. “Yes, I do,” I replied, flipping through the papers in fr

    I was getting incredibly worried. I sighed, dragging my eyes away from the double doors which remained shut. I turned to the clock hanging on the wall and stared at it the same way I had been doing all night. It was 2AM, two hours past our wedding anniversary. I picked up my phone which sat beside me and turned it on, expecting a call or even a text from Eduardo. I huffed in disappointment when I saw no text from him. It was our wedding anniversary. I had tried calling him since the previous night and that morning but I got no response. His secretary, Serena is not picking up her calls either and it made me worry. At first I blamed it on his busy schedule. He was a billionaire and CEO of tech companies worldwide. To top it all, he was alpha of Black moon Pack. He had a lot on his plate but then again I thought, Eduardo never forgot important dates like my birthday and anniversaries. He never missed it for anything in the world and that was why I was still waiting even though it was

    "You liar!!!" I yelled, not believing a word that had poured out from her mouth. 𝑁𝑜, 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑒..."It is the truth! Why then do you think he is with the Doctors, huh? We've been making love. It's apparent he got tired of your dumb ass and couldn't keep up with you anymore. You were worthless to him so he had to find someone more useful. And that was me. Now, look! His seed is blooming inside me!"My wolf took charge and without thinking, I charged towards her across the room and landed a hard slap on her cheek. The force of the slap threw her off to the ground but I wasn't done. I straddled her thighs and kept landing slaps on her face. The only thing that saved her were the nurses who heard her screams and rushed into the room."You bitch!" Serena yelled in tears as the nurses pulled me off her. I yanked my arms and stared down at her, my anger blazing. I would do something even more dangerous if I stayed so I left. I heard one of the nurses informing Eduardo on the

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Unexpected Pregnancy

    I sat in the backseat of the moving vehicle and stared out of the window. I had managed to stop crying and was now recounting my marriage with Eduardo. Everything had been perfect and blissful. I loved him with my whole heart and believed he did the same. At least he had proven himself countlessly. And mother. Back then she loved me so much and we were more like best friends. Sadly, our friendship took a sour turn six months after my marriage with her son. It finally came to an end a year later when I couldn't still bear children. I was then despised by her. She never stopped maltreating me whenever Eduardo was away on business trips. The vehicle swerved and I hit my bandaged arm on the side of the window. I sighed and squeezed my eyes shut. It was hurting but it was nothing compared to what I had gone through for the past six years. Finally, I arrived at the airport and proceeded to book a flight to England. I had informed my parents about my homecoming and they were more than ha

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Five Years Later

    Aurora's Point Of View"Star, are you sure about this?" "Dad, you've been asking me this all day," I said with a small laugh. "Your father is just as worried as I am, Aurora. I know it has been five years but going back to the States? What if he... gosh I don't even wanna think about it." I sighed and zipped up my last box. "I know Eduardo is there and everything but don't worry, I've got it under control. It's been five years. What are the odds of crossing paths with him in such a big country?" "What about your kids?" Dad asked worriedly. "They will be fine. I will protect them with my life. No harm would come to them." To make sure no coincidence occurred, I had applied to companies that had no affiliation with Eduardo's company and they were all located in the small part of the city. Parts Eduardo would most likely not step foot on. The odd jobs I had worked over five years were not enough to cater to my children. I had little to no savings after all the expenditures. Mum an

    Aurora's Point Of View"Goodness gracious!" Nana exclaimed as I rushed inside. "Mummy!" The twins squealed as they rushed to embrace me. I held them close, trying to calm my trembling hands. "Did you have fun with Nana?" I asked, masking my shakiness with a smile. "Yes, mummy." "That's good. How about you continue your food while mummy and Nana talk?" "Okay, mummy," they chorused and skipped back to the dining table. "Are you okay, dear?" Nana asked and I nodded."I'm fine, Nana. Just a little bit tired." She gave me a knowing look and I looked away from her. If I look longer into her eyes, I fear I would tell her everything bothering me. Nana just has that effect. "Let me go and have a quick bath." I excused myself from the living and went up to my room. I leaned against the door, my body restless. What was I going to do now? Maxwell had seen me. What would I do now? Will he tell Eduardo? Oh great moon, what am I going to do? I was jolted out of my thoughts by the sudden ring

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Eduardo

    Two Days AgoEduardo's Point Of ViewIt was two years ago when I began to search for her. The Aurora I knew was alone in this world. A little wolf like her wouldn't survive in a world filled with predators that are ready to pounce on a lone wolf. She was nothing without me. She needed me to survive. That was why I was certain she would come running back to me soon. But a year passed, then the second year, and I couldn't take it anymore by the third year. How dare she throw divorce papers at my face and reject me? Who did she think she was rejecting me, Eduardo Garcia? I was her husband and alpha. She had no right! I was going to make her pay when I found her but it was as if she had been erased from the face of the earth. I searched far and wide but I couldn't find her. I did not know how she did it but she managed to hide from me for five good years. Everywhere I went, everything I did, she clouded my thoughts. Even when I was supposed to be preparing to attend to some business p

    Aurora's Point Of ViewNo... It couldn't be! He slowly turned around, stealing my breath. "Long time no see, Aurora." "W...What are you doing in here?""Just came to pay a visit" He spoke calmly, slowly adjusting his cufflinks. "Well then, you are not welcome here, Eduardo," I spoke through gritted teeth, hiding my anxiety behind a fearless expression."But here I am." He replied lazily and stepped further into the room without taking his eyes off me. Maybe I was dreaming or my eyes were playing tricks on me because there was no way in hell Eduardo Garcia, my ex-husband and father of my kids could be standing in the middle of my sitting room. I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again, hoping I would wake up from this nightmare but nothing happened. He was there, standing in his full glory, looking as tall and handsome as ever. And here I thought he wouldn't find me. Did Maxwell tell him he saw me? Oh moon, it has only been a day and a few hours since I returned from England.

"How about we stop pretending like you're not feeling what I'm feeling?""What... what do you mean, sir?" I asked, my voice trembling.He smirked, a knowing glint in his eyes as he brought his face tantalizingly close to my neck. I couldn't help but shudder, feeling his warm breath against my skin as he whispered, "This."With the little resolve I had left in me, I moved away from him. "I... I need to go and.." He smirked, tucking his hand in his pant pockets. "You wanna keep denying it, huh?" "I'm not denying it." "Oh, so you admit you feel something." I huffed, "No, I mean, there is nothing to deny so I'm not denying anything." His grin widened, "really?" Gosh, what has the moon goddess gotten me into? I did not ask for a second chance mate. I did not need one. Dealing with Eduardo is already a lot on my plate but

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    For Her Children

    Aurora’s Point of ViewThe laughter and shouts of children echoed all around us as the Father’s Day program continued. The afternoon sun illuminated the schoolyard in warmth, and everywhere I looked, there were families, smiling fathers, excited kids, and a sense of joy that I hadn’t fully anticipated feeling today. I glanced at Eduardo. He was in his element, laughing with Dexter and Eloise as we finished another game. The balloon-popping contest had been awkward at first, but the tension between us had slowly dissolved into something comfortable, almost familiar. He seemed so at ease with the kids—our kids—like he had always been there.But then, Dexter’s question hit me like a punch to the gut.“Mum, is Eduardo… is he our dad?”Time seemed to stop. The world around me faded, and all I could hear was the sound of my heart pounding in my ears. Dexter’s eyes, so full of innocence and curiosity, were locked on me, waiting for an answer. Eloise looked up too, her tiny brows furrowed as

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    He's Your Father

    Eduardo’s Point of ViewIt started with a phone call. The headmaster of the twins' school reached out to notify me of an upcoming Father’s Day program. At first, I wasn’t sure what to do with the information. I hadn’t been a part of Dexter and Eloise’s lives for so long, and now, I was being invited to attend something that was, by all accounts, for fathers.Was I really ready for this? Was it too much? Too soon?I hung up the phone, feeling the weight of the decision pressing on my shoulders. For years, I had been absent from their lives—not by choice, but by circumstance. The thought of standing there, surrounded by fathers who had been present, who knew their children’s every like and dislike, who had shared every moment... It made me feel like an outsider. I hadn’t earned the right to be called a father.And yet, a part of me longed to go. To be there. To see them laugh, to join in their fun, and to make memories that I had missed out on for so long.My heart and mind were at war,

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Father's Day

    Aurora's Point Of ViewI left work early. I haven't seen my kids in a whole day. They must have missed me. I've missed them too. Eduardo drove me home and I thought he would ask if he could come in. I don't wanna admit it but I would've told him to come in without thinking twice. Oh moon, what's happening to me? "Mummy!" I squealed, catching my two joys in my arms. I hugged him tightly, sniffing their hair. "I've missed you so much!" "You did not come home yesterday," Eloise pouted and guilt tore into my heart. "I'm sorry, baby. Mummy had work." What? I can't possibly tell them I got into heat, kissed the man they don't know is their father and begged him to make love to me. No, I can't possibly say that. The evening passed in a blur of giggles, dinner, and bath time with Dexter and Eloise. They were my world, my little anchors keeping me grounded in the chaos of my thoughts. I hadn’t been with them since yesterday, and the guilt of leaving them tugged at my heart.Eloise sat on

    Aurora's Point Of View"It was all because of my heat," I defended myself as I took a bite out of the pancake."I did not say otherwise," he shrugged as he sat opposite me on the kitchen island. I watched as he took a bite and licked the sauce off his lips. "What? Still feel devouring me?" He teased, snapping me out of my daze. "I'm fine now," I shoved a spoon of food down my mouth to cover my embarrassment. "Looks like the doctor was right." "Did I do anything weird after last night?" He paused and looked at me like he knew something I didn't know. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. I cannot remember anything after we both lied down in his bed last night. Surely, I couldn't have done anything worse. "No," he said and I heaved a sigh of relief. "You slept like a baby. Do you feel better now?" I nodded. "I'm back to myself." He pursed his lips, "bummer," I frowned and he chuckled. "I'm just pulling your legs." He gestured to my almost empty plate. "You done with that?" He ask

    Aurora's Point Of ViewI woke up to the soft warmth of the morning sun streaming through the curtains, my body wrapped around something soft and firm. For a moment, I sighed in contentment, snuggling closer, my fingers gripping the fabric beneath me. I could still smell him—Eduardo. His scent was everywhere, invading my senses and stirring something deep within me.Then it hit me.I wasn’t holding him. I was hugging a pillow. A pillow that, upon closer inspection, had his tank top draped over it. I blinked in confusion, my mind still foggy from sleep. The cool morning air brushed against my bare legs, and that’s when I realized—I wasn’t in my robe anymore. I was wearing one of his shirts, the soft cotton hanging loosely around me.I sat up abruptly, my heart racing. The events of last night came crashing down on me. The kiss, the way I practically threw myself at him, and his firm but gentle refusal. I buried my face in my hands, groaning in embarrassment. Moon, what had I done? I’d l

    Aurora's Point Of ViewAs Eduardo knelt beside me, his hand brushing a strand of hair away from my face, I closed my eyes, trying to focus on the steady rhythm of my breathing. He felt my forehead and said, "You should take a cold bath. You're burning up." He took his hands off and I mourned his touch. "I would contact a doctor I know. Maybe he can prescribe something to help with the heat." I almost shook my head in protest. I did not want to take any pills. I wanted him. I wanted him to pin my hands over my head on the bed and fuck me. Mercilessly. I want him to make me beg for it till I cry. I bit my lip at the thought, my eyes never leaving his. His eyes darkened and I smirked. Fuck I'm loosing my mind. "Go to the bathroom," That was not a request. He left the room, leaving me with my wild thoughts. I managed to drag myself into the bathroom and I immersed myself in the bathtub filled with cold water. I soaked in the cold water, letting it ease the burning heat coursing throu

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Heat

    Aurora's Point Of View I rushed into the bathroom, my heart racing wildly. I pushed myself against the sink and drowned my face in cold water. My breathing was ragged as I struggled to stay on my feet. I staggered into one of the toilets and leaned against the door, trying to steady my breath. My skin stung and my clothes felt like thorns against it. I leaned against the cool metal of the bathroom stall, my body trembling uncontrollably. My heat had reached its peak, and I could feel the overwhelming pressure building in every inch of me. The cold water had done nothing to calm the fire raging inside. It only seemed to make the discomfort more intense, my skin sensitive to even the faintest touch of fabric. I bit down on my lip to suppress the whimper that threatened to escape. I couldn’t let anyone hear me like this—not in the middle of the workday. Not when Eduardo was just down the hall, his scent still lingering in the air, making everything worse. It was as if his presence tri

    Aurora's Point Of ViewEduardo dropped me off at home in the evening and my kids welcomed me happily. Eduardo's words kept echoing in my head all night as thoughts of him filled my mind. Was it really possible for us to be together? To become the family we once were? But many years have passed. I'm not even sure I love him anymore. I'm not sure of what I feel towards him? I know he makes my body heat up whenever he is near me, I know my heart thump wildly whenever our hands brush, his touches set my body on fire and I dream of his body on mine sometimes but was that all it was? Lust and nothing else? I sighed deeply and turned in my bed. He said Serena manipulated the whole situation. Did she really? Did Eduardo really had nothing to do with it? Did I mistake what I saw? But if that is the situation, how can he explain the fact that she was still hovering around him? She still visited his mother even. What explanation does he have to that? I glanced at the clock and realized it was
