Nicholas's breath was heavy and labored as he struggled with his big manhood, as he was attempting to fit into the my small virgin space. A strange, overwhelming desire ignited within me, urging me to assist him. My mind was clouded, as if shrouded in a pink mist, distorting my thoughts and senses.Suddenly, a loud gunshot, "Duar!" echoed startlingly close, jolting me back to reality."Argrrhhh..." Nicholas cried out in pain. He quickly moved away from me, revealing a bloody wound on his butt. To my shock, there stood my mother, holding a gun with steely resolve."That shot is from me," she announced sternly, firing another round, this time targeting a different spot on the butt. "And this one's from Alex.""Mom, what's happening?" I quickly dressed, attempting to comprehend the chaos while Nicholas writhed in agony on the floor, and his blood pooled around him."Don't worry, it won't kill him; I didn't use silver bullets," Mother explained, her tone firm yet calm. "I allowed him to u
“Have you ever glimpsed the dark side of Xander?” Xander, with a sudden burst of energy, rose from his wheelchair, his face alight with a twisted smile. “I pray you never witness the depths of my darkness, for it is a sight most grotesque.”“Mam,” Xander's voice, seething with barely contained fury, called to my mother. “I am well aware of your disdain for this woman. Yet, should you harm her, you risk incurring Ferdinand's wrath. And if Aurora dares to sully her hands by touching this despicable creature, her father's fury will be unbounded. May I have the dubious honor of drawing the first blood? I am so angry after discovering they stole my 2-year research, and this person sent 20 assassins after Aurora."My mother’s gaze shifted from Ravena to me, a storm brewing in her eyes. “Aurora, to spill the first drop of blood is to declare war with Eclipse. They already view us as foes for withholding Prince Nicholas. Is this truly the path you wish to tread?”“Mother,” my voice trembled a
"Mom, what is love?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, breaking the silence of our rare night together. I turned to my mother; her beautiful face faintly illuminated in the moonlight seeping through the window. Memories of sleeping beside my parents were non-existent in my mind, prompting this unusual request to share a night with her. As we lay side by side in the dimly lit room, the soft rustle of our matching pajamas, bought together online, filled the quietMy mother's expression turned contemplative, a distant look clouding her eyes. “The truth is, I don’t know what love is,” she confessed, her voice tinged with a sadness that seemed to carry the weight of untold stories.“But don’t you love father?” I prodded gently, curious about the depths of her heart.She looked away, her eyes brimming with a melancholic glint. “At first, when I met your father, he was super charming. He was my everything. Every moment felt right, like a perfect dream. In his presence, I betrayed my
I locked eyes with my mother, seeking guidance. "Do you think Alex will be angry with me if I choose Xander, after everything he's done for me?""Aurora," my mother soothed, gently stroking my hair, "I may not know Alex personally, but from what your grandmother has said, I understand a few things. First, Alex loves you deeply. Second, he believes in letting you choose your mate from your heart, not just because of destiny. This means he will always love and protect you, even if you choose someone else. Alex may be ruthless to his enemies, but he's fiercely protective of his people. I believe if you choose another, he would still ensure that you have a good life, possibly even giving you a grand gesture to show his support.""Are you sure?" I asked, seeking reassurance in her words."Yes, dear. Love, in its truest form, wants happiness for the beloved, even if it means letting them go. If Alex truly loves you, he'll respect your choice and wish you nothing but happiness, regardless of
In the dining room, I observed Xander engaged in a grave discussion with Nadine. However, upon my entrance, his stern expression melted into a smile, and he rose gracefully, the epitome of a gentleman, to greet me.“Come, sit here,” Xander offered, his voice imbued with a refined hospitality. “What brings you to seek me at this late hour?”I still stood. Drawing in a deep, contemplative breath, I wrestled with the swirling maelstrom of doubts within me. Mother had been right; I could no longer drift aimlessly through life's journey without purpose. For too long, I had been a mere leaf in the wind. It was time to seize the reins of my destiny. Casting a glance at my mother, I found encouragement in her subtle nod, a silent support.“Xander, I implore you, answer me truthfully,” I entreated, my voice laced with a newfound resolve.“Yes,” Xander responded, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “What burdens your heart with such seriousness?”“Please, tell me, did Eclipse truly steal with you
Her big body like me lunged at me, her claws aimed with lethal precision. I managed to block her initial strike, but her subsequent kick caught me off guard, sending my body hurtling into a corner of the dining hall.I may have power, but I don't have enough experience in fighting, since I just learned in these two weeks. Nadine was professional. She tried to hit me a few times again, and I blocked some of it. Mother tried to help me, but Nadine in her super werewolf side only needed one punch to knock out mother.As Nadine advanced towards me, a creeping sense of fear began to overwhelm me. I realized that even in my enhanced state, I might not be able to triumph over Nadine. Her presence loomed larger with each step she took, her confidence evident in her imposing stance and unwavering gaze.Xander suddenly intervened, positioning himself as a barrier between us. His tone was cold, authoritative. “Nadine, enough is enough.”"But she needs to understand her place, Xander!" Nadine pro
On the private aircraft, I occupied a seat alongside my mother and Nicholas, engaging in a profound conversation regarding our forthcoming plans."Nicholas, we are planning to ally with Eclipse to reclaim the royal kingdom. What are your thoughts?" I inquired, seeking his perspective on our daunting task.He reclined in the luxurious plane chair, his face a mix of contemplation and unease. "Well, choosing between my Uncle Ferdinand and the Dark King is like picking the lesser of two evils. I'd reluctantly opt for the Dark King, as their greed is purely for wealth. But my uncle... his thirst for power knows no bounds. I think he would readily eliminate me to ensure either he or his son inherits the crown."My mother, her voice steady yet tinged with a hint of concern, reassured him, "Don't fret, Nicholas. Once you marry Aurora, the crown will still be yours. We're family, after all."At this, Nicholas let out a laugh, but it was hollow, devoid of genuine mirth. "Ah, such dreams you har
I struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation. General Thomas, a daunting figure marked by scars etched deep into his weathered face, fixed me with a gaze so intense it felt like it could pierce through my very soul. His eyes, simmering with hostility, bore into me as he posed his question again."Aurora, you must agree to lead the front war," General Thomas insisted, his voice unwavering.‘Me, leading the war on the front line? You must be out of you mind.’“I am sorry,” I replied, feeling a twinge of fear. “I don’t have the ability to fight, nor to lead a fight. I really don’t think I am suited for it.”“You may not lead nor know how to kill.” His response was curt, the harshness in his tone unmistakable. “But your pact, the ex-Royal Guard. They can do better. Give me all your pact or give back to Nicholas and let him lead the war. And don’t forget to return everything you received from Prince Nicholas.”I felt a knot of confusion tighten in my stomach. “What do you mean?”
