My face turns towards the right while the skin of my cheek stings with the impact of the slap.
My eyes burn with tears, which I refuse to release as my gaze is trained on the floor.
"Apologize to Cynthia right now!" My father bellows causing me to flinch. "How dare you disrespect my wife and your Luna by questioning her actions?!"
My mother died soon after giving birth to me, and my father blamed me for her death. When I turned three, councilmen asked my father to take a second chance mate because his wolf was going crazy without his mate. Even though he didn't want to, he had to find another mate because, slowly, his wolf was going insane.
Since my mother was his true mate, he never wanted to give her place to anyone else, so instead of taking Cynthia as his second chance mate, he married her.
Cynthia is what you can call a true definition of an evil stepmother. She hated me from the moment she married my father and made it clear to me that I was unwanted in her house.
But since she couldn't kick me out, she made sure to make my life miserable at every chance she got.
"She punished Emily for no reason." I speak in a low but firm voice, "She is a small child who just took an apple from the fruit basket."
"She stole the apple." Cynthia glares at me, then turns her gaze to my father and places her hand on his arm, "Emily is a child. That's why it is important for her to learn if she needs something, then she should ask instead of stealing. I was disciplining her by ordering her to fetch five buckets of water from the well, not punishing her."
"I even asked Janet to accompany her and help her with completing her task." She sighs and shakes her head, "I am mother of this pack; I am not cruel as Sophia thinks of me."
"You don't have to justify yourself; I know you." Father wraps an arm around her as she softly cries, "This girl is nothing but a nuisance. It seems like killing my Selena wasn't enough for her, so each day she does something that only hurts others." He glares at me with such hatred that the tears that I was holding back spill from my eyes.
"No food for you for five days, and you will work with the omegas for the preparation of a full moon ball." He puts every bit of his Alpha command behind his words while glaring at me.
"Yes, Alpha." Bowing my head, I show my neck in submission to him.
Strangely, Alpha commands never work on me, but I haven't told anyone about this, especially my father. If I told him then he would find one more reason to hate me thinking I am challenging his authority.
I turn and leave the room, my head held low. As I walk through the halls of the pack house, I feel the weight of everyone's stares. Whispers follow me, but I am used to it. I've been an outcast my whole life. I pass Emily in the kitchen, her eyes red from crying. She looks up at me with a mixture of guilt and gratitude, and I manage a small smile for her.
"I am sorry, Sophia." She wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, "I was hungry."
"It's okay, Emily," I say softly and reassuringly.
Emily is one of the orphans of the pack. Her parents died in a car accident two years back; since she doesn't have any family who could take her in, she lives in the orphanage.
I head out to my room in the packhouse where I live since I am not allowed to live in the Alpha house, ready to start my punishment.
Physical labor is nothing new to me; it's a way to keep my mind off the pain and loneliness that have become my constant companions. As I work, I think about my mother, the only person who might have loved me if she had lived.
And sometimes my thoughts shift to the person whom Moon Goddess has chosen for me... my mate.
My heart clings to the hope that one day, I'll find him, and he'll take me away from this misery.
Something in me tells me that soon, my wait is about to come to an end.

Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 36
AuroraOur family.The words echo in my head, sinking deep and spreading warmth through me. Our family. Not his. Not theirs. Ours. Something soft breaks open inside me, like a fragile piece of my heart finally finding something that it craved for.“Hey, Aurora,” one of the men says as he steps forward. His voice carries a natural confidence, the kind that doesn’t need to be forced or raised to be heard. His smile reaches his eyes, warm and steady, and I feel myself relax without meaning to. “I’m Jake, his big brother. And now yours too.”I study him quietly, taking in the details. His shoulders are relaxed but his stance firm, his posture speaking of someone who has spent his life standing between people and their problems. There is an air of authority around him, not intimidating or controlling, but reassuring. It’s the kind of authority that promises protection. He looks like someone who would step up for anyone he cares about, someone dependable, someone who would solve your probl

AuroraThe car slows before I even realize we’ve left the main road. The smooth stretch of asphalt fades into a dirt path, framed by tall trees that look like they’ve been standing there forever. Branches arch over us, forming a canopy that filters the fading sunlight into soft streaks of gold. The deeper we go, the quieter it becomes, until all I can hear is the crunch of gravel beneath the tires and the low hum of the engine.The air feels different here... cooler, cleaner, scented faintly with pine and damp earth. I lower the window a little, and the breeze rushes in, brushing against my face like a secret. There’s something wild and beautiful about it, something untouched. I can’t help but lean forward slightly, my eyes tracing the way the light flickers through the trees, catching on the leaves as if trying to hold on before the sun disappears completely.The forest stretches endlessly around us, dense and alive. The fading sunlight spills through in narrow bands, painting everyt

AuroraThe farther we drive, the more I feel myself relaxing, like every mile between us and the town, my dad, my house, is peeling something heavy off my shoulders.I don’t know where Lucas is taking me. I should probably care. I should ask, at least once, but I don’t. I just don’t. The air feels lighter, and that’s enough.His warmth seeps through the space between us, the kind that wraps around me without even touching. It’s not just the heat of his body, it’s his presence, the steady pull of it, the quiet safety that comes with being near him. His scent fills the car, masculine and something darker I can’t name. It’s intoxicating. I breathe it in without meaning to, and suddenly it’s everywhere, cocooning me, sinking under my skin.The phone in my bag vibrates for the third time. I don’t even look at it. A few hours ago, I would’ve answered it immediately, heart racing, trying to explain myself or giving them update minute by minute. But right now, I can’t bring myself to care.It
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 33
LucasAurora sits beside me, her body turned slightly toward the window, but her attention… it’s everywhere.Her silence isn’t the kind that makes me uneasy or doubtful. It’s the kind that pulls me in. The kind that fills the car in a way noise never could. I can feel it, the quiet hum of her mind working, her thoughts moving behind those wide eyes.I see it in the way her gaze drifts across the dashboard, following the small scratches on the surface, pausing over the buttons and air vents as if she’s memorizing their shape. She doesn’t reach out to touch anything, doesn’t speak, but I can tell she’s observing. Cataloguing. Trying to understand the man beside her through the car he drives, the music playing low through the speakers, the faint scuff marks on the steering wheel where my thumb rests.It’s almost cute. No, it’s more than that, it’s fascinating.Most people would just talk, fill the air with questions or small talk. But not her. She reads things instead. The way the engine

LucasOutside, the air feels cooler, sharper, like it knows we’re crossing a line we can’t uncross.I feel her shiver, just once, before she leans into me. My arm finds her without thought, pulling her in until her head rests against my shoulder. She fits there like she’s meant to. Like she’s always belonged.The world fades, blurring at the edges. There are people around us, I know that much. Engines hum, someone shouts an order, a door slams, but all of it turns into nothing more than background static. Because of her. She is like that mute button, that wasn't there in my life earlier... when she is with me other things go silent.Her hair brushes my jaw when the wind picks up. Her scent almost makes me want to press my nose in her hair and fill my lungs with her scent.Her breath comes a little uneven, still catching from everything that just happened. But she looks up at me anyway, and there’s something in her eyes that hits harder than any bullet ever could.My wolf stirs, quiet b
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 31
LucasArthur Blake stands like a man used to being obeyed, not questioned. The kind of man whose silence carries more weight than most people’s words. His men flank him in perfect alignment, every step and pause matching his like they’ve done this a hundred times before. It’s too precise to be coincidence. Too practiced to belong to regular security.I’ve seen bodyguards before.These men aren’t that. They move like they’ve been trained somewhere that doesn’t give out business cards. Their eyes never settle. They track corners, exits, reflections. I can almost hear the calculations in their heads.Arthur’s not any better at pretending to be ordinary. Millionaires usually have a softness to them, a certain detachment from danger. He doesn’t. His stillness feels military. The way he assesses the room, the small tilt of his head when one of his men shifts position, it’s all control, all command. He doesn’t just hire protection. He leads it.There’s something darker under that polished exte
