Bound to my sister’s mate Chapter 21
Aurora's POVThe days since I agreed to join the Nightshade Pack have passed in a blur of recovery and adjustment. True to his word, Ethan has gone above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety. When the doctor cleared me to leave the hospital, Ethan insisted on moving me into a cozy guest house on the pack grounds."You need a proper place to recover," he had said, his tone brooking no argument. "Somewhere quiet, where you can rest and adjust at your own pace."Now, as I sit by the window of my new temporary home, I can't help but marvel at the kindness I've been shown. The guest house is small but beautifully furnished, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. It's more luxury than ever, and part of me still can't believe it's real.A soft knock at the door pulls me from my thoughts. "Come in," I call out, smiling as I see Sarah, the nurse Ethan hired to help with my recovery, enter the room."Good morning, Aurora," Sarah says brightly, carrying a tray with breakfa

Aurora's POVThe morning sun filters through the curtains as I sip my tea, enjoying the peace of another day in my new home. It's been weeks since I joined the Nightshade Pack, and I'm finally starting to feel settled. The constant fear and anxiety that plagued me since I ran away have begun to fade, replaced by a tentative sense of belonging.A knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. I call out, expecting Sarah or perhaps Ethan, "Come in!"But the figure that steps through the doorway isn't either of them. My heart stops as I recognize the broad shoulders and stern face of Beta Benjamin from my old pack."Aurora," he says, his voice gruff but tinged with relief. "Thank the Moon Goddess, I've found you."I stumble to my feet, nearly knocking over my tea. "Beta Benjamin? What... what are you doing here?"He takes a step towards me, and I instinctively back away. His face falls at my reaction."Aurora, please. I've come to bring you home. I made a terrible mistake telling you to leave

Masonr's POVThe moon hung high in the sky, casting a silver glow over the forest. I stared out from the balcony of my room, the cool night air doing little to calm the storm brewing inside me. The news had hit like a freight train, unexpected and utterly disorienting. Aurora—my mate, the one I had thought dead—was alive. But she wasn't coming back. She had found refuge in another pack.My heart clenched at the thought of her being out there, somewhere beyond my reach. I had tried to convince myself that I had done the right thing by choosing Margot. She was the one I had committed to, the one I had vowed to be with. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw Aurora's face—those haunted blue eyes that had looked so lost and betrayed.The door to my room creaked open, and Benjamin, my beta, stepped inside, his expression grim. He had brought the news, and I could tell it hadn't been easy for him. He was loyal to me, but he also cared for Aurora. We all did."Did you find out where she is?"

Aurora's POVThe sun was setting over the Nightshade Pack territory, casting a warm golden glow across the landscape. I sat on the porch of my new home, a cozy cabin on the outskirts of the pack lands, sipping a cup of tea and watching the day fade into twilight. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, carrying the scent of pine and wildflowers.For the first time in what felt like forever, I genuinely smiled. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of new experiences and emotions. Joining the Nightshade Pack, getting to know Ethan and the others, and starting a new job in the pack's administration office felt like a fresh start, a chance to rebuild my life away from the pain and betrayal of my past.I'd almost forgotten about Mason, about the mate bond that still lingered between us like a phantom limb. And the mysterious stalker who had tormented me for years with his twisted gifts and messages? He seemed like a distant nightmare, fading in the light of my new reality.But as I'v

Mason's POVThe hospital parking lot was bustling with activity as I pulled up, carefully maneuvering my father's wheelchair out of the car. My father, once a towering figure of strength and authority, now looked frail and diminished in the harsh fluorescent lighting. Margot hovered nearby, her face a mask of concern that didn't quite reach her eyes."Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you?" she asked, her voice syrupy sweet. "I could help with the paperwork."I shook my head, forcing a smile. "No, it's fine. You should head back to the pack house. There's always work to be done."As Margot drove away, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease growing in the pit of my stomach. Something felt off, but I couldn't grasp what it was."Let's get this over with," my father grumbled as we made our way into the hospital. "I don't see why I need another check-up. I'm fine."I bit back a sigh. "It's just routine, Dad. Nothing to worry about."We barely reached the reception desk when t

Mason's POVThe pack lands were eerily quiet as we returned from the hospital, the usual bustle of activity subdued in the earthquake's aftermath. My mother sat beside me in the car, her face etched with worry and exhaustion. We had spent hours searching for my father, our hope dwindling with each passing minute.I saw a crowd near the entrance as we pulled up to the pack house. My heart leaped into my throat, a mix of hope and dread coursing through me. Had they found him?I barely waited for the car to stop before I was out, pushing through the crowd of pack members. Their faces were grim, and a hush fell over the crowd as I approached. That's when I saw him.My father's body lay still on a stretcher, covered by a white sheet. The world seemed to tilt on its axis, and for a moment, I couldn't breathe."No," I whispered, my voice breaking. "No, it can't be."I fell to my knees beside the stretcher, pulling back the sheet with trembling hands. My father's face was pale and lifeless, a

Mason's POVThe days following my father's death were a blur of grief, suspicion, and mounting pressure. The pack was in disarray, shaken by the loss of their Alpha and the chaos of the earthquake. Everyone looked to me for leadership, but I felt adrift, torn between my duties and my burning need to uncover the truth.Margot had been inconsolable since our confrontation. She hovered around me constantly, her eyes red-rimmed and pleading. It was during one such moment, as I stood in my father's office - now mine, I supposed - that she broke down completely."Mason, please," she sobbed, clutching at my arm. "I'm so sorry. I should have been there. I was just... I was scared. Please, you have to forgive me."Her tears were genuine, her distress palpable. Despite my anger and suspicion, I felt a pang of sympathy. She was trying, in her way, to make amends.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Margot, I understand you were scared. We all were. But as Luna, you can't let fear paralyze

Aurora’s POVThe morning sun had barely risen when I felt it - a dark pulse of energy that made my celestial powers bristle in warning. I was in Mason's office, discussing the recovery of the shadow plague victims, when Ethan's presence hit me like a physical blow."He's here," I whispered, my wings manifesting involuntarily. They spread wide, shimmering with nervous energy that made the office windows rattle.Mason tensed beside me, his hand finding mine instinctively. Our powers merged, creating a protective barrier just as Ethan burst through the door.He looked terrible - shadows seemed to leak from him despite his attempt to appear normal, and his eyes held a manic gleam that made my heart ache. This was my fault, in a way. My rejection had pushed him further into darkness."Surprise," he said, his voice carrying echoes of something inhuman. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything... intimate."His eyes fixed on our joined hands, and the temperature in the room dropped several degree

Aurora’s POVThe ancient archive room had become our sanctuary as Mason and I worked through the night. A crisis had emerged - several pack members had fallen into a mysterious sleep, their energy being slowly drained by what appeared to be shadow magic. We'd been searching the old texts for hours, looking for anything that might help."Here," I said, my voice hoarse from exhaustion. "Another reference to the shadow plague. It says the Shadow Lords used it to weaken packs before launching larger attacks."Mason leaned over my shoulder to read, his warmth seeping into me. My wings, which I'd manifested to provide light as we worked, fluttered in response to his proximity."They're testing us," he murmured, his breath tickling my ear. "Seeing how we respond to a threat to the pack."I turned to answer and found our faces inches apart. The air between us crackled with combined energy - celestial starlight dancing with lunar power. For a moment, time seemed to stop."Mason," I whispered,

Aurora’s POVThe morning sun painted the archives in shades of gold as I pored over another ancient text. Mason sat across from me at the massive oak table, our knees occasionally brushing as we worked. Each accidental touch sent sparks of celestial energy dancing through the air, making the old books around us pulse with responsive magic."Look at this," I said, pushing a weathered tome toward him. "Another reference to the Shadow Lords' manipulation of the mate bond. They've been interfering with destined pairs for centuries."Mason leaned closer, his scent washing over me - pine, autumn leaves, and something uniquely him that made my dual nature sing. "Could that explain why our bond survived even after..." he trailed off, both of us remembering the failed rejection."Maybe," I admitted softly. "Or maybe some bonds are just too strong to break."His eyes met mine, intense and full of unspoken meaning. Before either of us could say more, my phone buzzed - again. The screen lit up wi

Aurora’s POVThe Black Dawn Pack territory looked exactly as I remembered, yet everything felt different. My heels clicked against the marble floor of the pack office building as I made my way to my new workspace, trying to ignore the whispers and stares that followed me. News of my powers, of what I'd become, had spread like wildfire through the supernatural community."Aurora," Mason's voice sent an involuntary shiver down my spine. He stood in the doorway of what used to be his father's office - now his - looking devastatingly handsome in a charcoal suit. "Welcome back."I straightened my spine, grateful for the professional setting that demanded distance. "Alpha Mason," I replied formally, though my traitor heart skipped at his slight wince at the title. "Thank you for approving my transfer request.""The pack's archives need organizing," he said, his voice carefully neutral though his eyes burned with unspoken emotions. "And you're the most qualified, given your... unique perspec

Aurora’s POVThe ancient texts in the celestial library seemed to glow beneath my fingertips as I traced the prophecy one last time. The words were burned into my memory: "When moon and stars align, the hybrid shall either unite the realms or destroy them all." But there was more - a hidden verse that only my dual sight could reveal:"In the heart of shadow's domain lies the key to their undoing."I closed the book with renewed determination. The Shadow Lords' stronghold - the Dark Citadel - wasn't meant to be unreachable. It was meant to be found by someone who could bridge both worlds."Don't even think about it," Ethan's voice cut through my thoughts. He stood in the doorway, his face set in that familiar expression of protective stubbornness.Mason appeared beside him, looking equally concerned. "Aurora, it's suicide. The Dark Citadel is at the heart of their power.""Exactly," I said, rising from my chair. "That's why it's perfect."Both men moved to block my path, a rare moment

Aurora’s POVThe warning came at midnight - a breach in the sanctuary's defenses that sent ripples of dark energy through my carefully constructed wards. I was in the middle of a training session, hovering mid-air with celestial wings spread wide, when I felt it."They're here," I whispered, just as the shadows began to move unnaturally along the walls.Mason burst through the door first, his eyes wild with urgency. "Aurora, we need to move. The Shadow Lords - they've found a way through."Before I could respond, Ethan appeared from the opposite direction. "The Council's barriers are falling. They're using some kind of ancient dark magic-""I know," I cut him off, landing gracefully. "I can feel them."The shadows coalesced into humanoid shapes, their forms writhing with otherworldly darkness. A voice that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere spoke:"The abomination must not be allowed to reach her full power."Mason and Ethan immediately moved to flank me, their protective inst

Chapter 63Aurora’s POVThe training arena in my sanctuary between realms pulsed with raw energy as I focused on my latest challenge. Spheres of pure celestial light orbited around me while I simultaneously maintained a connection to the moon's power. The duality of my nature had never felt stronger."Impressive," Mason's voice carried from the observation area where I'd allowed him to watch. "You're getting stronger every day."Before I could respond, Ethan materialized through the portal I'd foolishly left open. His eyes darkened at the sight of my display of power."You're being reckless," he snapped. "Channeling both energies simultaneously could tear you apart."I didn't break my concentration, instead adding a third element - creating portals to different realms while maintaining my other manifestations. "My body was literally born to handle this power, Ethan. Stop treating me like I'm made of glass.""Your mother thought she was invincible too," he said sharply. "Look where that

Chapter 62Aurora’s POVThe weight of prophecy and destiny pressed down on me as I returned from the Celestial Temple to the mortal realm. I materialized in the gardens of the Nightshade Pack, where Ethan waited as if he'd known exactly where and when I would appear. His face showed a mixture of relief and something darker - possessiveness that sent chills down my spine."Three days," he said, his voice tight. "You disappeared for three days without a word."I straightened my spine, my new knowledge giving me strength. "I don't answer to you, Ethan. Especially not after learning what you've done."His expression flickered with something like fear before hardening. "Everything I did was to protect you. And now..." He gestured, and I noticed guards positioning themselves around the garden. "Now I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.""Safe?" I laughed bitterly. "Or controlled?"Before he could respond, a familiar scent caught my attention. Mason emerged from the shadows, his presenc

Chapter 61Aurora’s POVThe Celestial Temple hung suspended between dimensions, its crystalline spires reaching into an endless sea of stars. Selene, my mysterious guide, led me through corridors that seemed to shift and change with each step. But it wasn't the temple's otherworldly beauty that made my heart race – it was the massive tapestry before me, depicting a scene that made my blood run cold."That's my mother," I whispered, reaching out to touch the shimmering threads. The image showed her in battle, celestial wings spread wide, facing down not just the Council, but something far darker."Yes," Selene confirmed, her ancient eyes filled with sorrow. "But what you're seeing isn't just her final battle. It's a warning of what's to come."She waved her hand, and the tapestry came alive. I watched in horror as my mother fought against shadows that seemed to consume light itself. "The Council wasn't working alone," Selene explained. "They were puppets of something older, something th
