Chapter 9: I Won’t Allow It

Caleb’s P.O.V

I watched as she moved around the bustling diner, tending to customers, and felt myself grit my teeth in annoyance at her meek and pathetic behavior.

Aurora was not exactly the most pleasing to look at. She was no eye candy by any means—pin-straight yet unkempt hair falling to her shoulders like a fence, dark circles around her eyes almost like a panda. There was absolutely nothing special or unique about her.

But for some reason, I couldn’t help but follow her with my eyes.

She was short, and somebody’s grandma probably had more charisma than her. Everyone knew how miserably pathetic her life was, and no one wanted to be her friend, as she was definitely not the model of optimism.

Especially with her father cheating his way through half the town and gambling his life into debt, no one even dared to look in her direction in fear that even that would make their money disappear.

So why…?

I nearly jumped in my seat when she turned around, and our eyes accidentally met. Than

    Aurora’s P.O.VI looked up from the table that I had been cleaning, a sudden sensation making the tiny hairs on my nape stand on end, as if someone was watching me from afar. It was a feeling that sent a chill down my spine, and I wasn’t sure if it was a good or a bad thing, but whatever it was, I didn’t like it…So I turned around hastily, to try and find the source of my discomfort, but then, unexpectedly, my eyes met with Caleb’s intense blue orbs, and for a second…I stood frozen in place, as if my feet were glued to the ground.But the eye contact only lasted a second before Caleb looked away in disgust, as if the very sight of me was displeasing to his eyes. Feeling my cheeks heat up in embarrassment, I too looked away, but unintentionally, my eyes would often keep landing back at their table, wondering what all the silent whispers and secrecy was all about.Caleb somehow seemed to be in the centre of it all, but still, there was this weird underlying tension in the group that I

    Caleb’s P.O.VThe dinner went on for quite some time; it seemed that my friends were far more excited about my own birthday than I was.Mia especially enjoyed talking about the drinks she wanted to have, while Shane kept pestering me about what gifts I wanted to receive.I honestly couldn’t care less and couldn’t be bothered to think about it seriously, but I didn’t want to push Caroline away by acting aloof, so I played along with her enthusiasm as much as I could.And all the while, there was this burning feeling, a nagging thought in the back of my head that I desperately tried to ignore. I did not dare let my eyes wander beyond our booth, and for that reason, I was somewhat glad for the distraction of my friends.And as soon as Shane and Mia started their drama about that damn twenty, I was about ready to go feral on them. Why the fuck did they need to stretch this than it already had been? Couldn’t they just fucking let it go?What disgusted me even further was the way she pathet

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe closing time of the diner was my favorite time at work. It’s when the hustle and bustle of the diner finally slowed to a stop. It was usually quiet and peaceful. Whenever I cleared the tables and cleaned the floors, my mind went quiet and my body worked on autopilot.It may not sound like the greatest experience to some, but to me it allowed me to finally relax. I didn’t have a lot of opportunities to rest at home because I was always worried about when my father would show up; as well as at school, because of the bullies, so this short time of quiet gave me the opportunity to let my guard down and release some of my tension even for just a few minutes.As I brought the dishes to the sink where another worker was on dish-washing duty and finishing up the last of the plates, Jeremy came out of his office, craning his neck around. It seemed that he was looking for me, because as soon as he spotted me leaving the kitchen, he said, “You. Take the trash out before you fo

    Caleb’s P.O.VAs we leaned in closer, eyes closed, I wondered what it would feel like, to finally have my hunches confirmed or corrected. Would I feel elated at the outcome? Would I feel disgusted? Angry?Suddenly, I didn’t want to know—but it was too late. I was already moving forward, and I knew without a doubt that Caroline was, too. She wasn’t one to go back on her words and neither was I.My heart thundered inside my chest, the outcome of this kiss had the power to throw everything I knew off balance, and I kept wondering if I would be able to keep my word and go back to being normal around Caroline ever again…Then, it happened. My lips met hers—except, it felt different, not what I expected at all. It felt like… her hand…?My eyes snapped open at that awkward sensation, only for me to realize that she had indeed placed her hand between us, blocking the kiss.I knew instantly that at the last minute, she had done so on instinct and if I was being honest, I was actually grateful

    Aurora’s P.O.VRiley and I talked about all kinds of stuff on our way home. If anyone saw us on the road, they would think we were just having an animated discussion, but for me, keeping him occupied and talking was a kind of defence mechanism I used when we were out in the streets at night, way past our bed time.If someone with ill intensions saw us from afar, or heard our voices first, they would think there were several people around us, so no one would dare to approach. And if something did happen, we could always try and run. However, I was glad that we hadn't encountered any dangerous situations yet.At our final stretch home, my immediate instinct was to scan the surroundings for any signs that my father was home. Because when he was, the lights would be turned on and the front door would be wide open. Elated would be an understatement for what I felt, when I finally realized that the door was still locked and the lights were still turned off.So we quickly made our way to the

    Caleb’s P.O.V“So, Caleb?” Shawn smirked at me from across the room. “Excited for the big eighteenth?”I raised my eyebrows at him in suspicion. What was he trying to pull? And why did he look so smug about it?It was only yesterday when I had reported Shawn’s behaviour to my dad, after he had unfairly lodged a complaint against Aura to her manager, and he had been summoned to the Alpha’s office and now had to serve twenty hours in the nursery as punishment, taking care of the newborns and the toddlers while their parents went out of the pack to work. It was the kind of job every teen detested and Shawn should be sulking about having to change poopy diapers…not smiling about it.“Shawn, we’ve had this conversation before.” I rolled my eyes, placing my gaming console off to the side as I took a break.“Oh, come on! It’s the day you find your mate! How can we not be excited about it?” Shawn’s smile only got bigger. “But we already know who it is, right? You guys probably already feel th

    Aurora’s P.O.VMonday morning passed by like a breeze. I went from class to class without getting into any trouble and actually found myself paying more attention in class that I usually did.This morning, just before coming to school, I had to pay my entire salary on electricity bills and thankfully, with the tips that I had gotten at work, Riley and I had managed to secure some nice grocery to last us the entire week. If Jeremy kept on giving me leftovers at least three to four days this week, then I was sure that the next week would be smooth sailing until my next paycheck.Surprisingly, I was feeling a lot better today, my only hope had been that the rest of the day would pass by the same, without any problems or complaints from my teachers…but I guess the universe didn’t want me to enjoy one single day in peace.“Aurora, solve this problem.” Mr. Hemming called out to me at the end of class, five minutes before the bell rang.Startled, I looked around the room, feeling like everyo

    Caleb’s P.O.VHalfway across the parking lot, I felt Caroline stop suddenly, her entire body freezing in place.“Care? What is it?” I asked with a frown, wondering what could be wrong when I turned to find her eyes wide and her jaw clenched tight.“Caleb…I forgot my notebook in class,” Caroline looked up at me through her long dark lashed, an unknown emotion crossing her eyes that I couldn’t quite understand. “Can you please go back and get it for me?”I narrowed my eyes at her. “What are you trying to do? You can get that notebook yourself. Why did you look so shocked about it?”We were at the almost empty school’s parking lot and Jade and the rest of the group were already inside Jade’s jeep, waiting to head home. Caroline usually went to and from school with me, in my car, but this was the first time that she had ever asked me to go back and ‘get’ something for her, especially since she had an amazing memory and never really forgot anything behind…unless it was on purpose.“Me?

    Damien’s P.O.V“Baby…” Salone leaned against my bike, her green eyes narrowed at me as she studied me from head to toe. “You’ve been very distant lately. Is something wrong?”“No.” I gave her an almost half-hearted answer as I drank from my coffee cup. Truth be told, I had been extremely distracted since last month.I had finally turned eighteen, the age at which a wolf was supposed to find their mate. And yet, I haven’t been able to find that one person who had been chosen for me by the Moon Goddess.Salone was an amazing girl and we had been dating for the past year now, but the second I had turned eighteen and found out that she wasn’t my mate, everything between us had changed in an instant. I had been trying to figure out a way to break it off with her, without looking like a complete douche, but I was failing miserably in that department. So I went ahead and started being as elusive as possible. Maybe if I’m paying less attention to her, then she would break up with me first and

    Riley’s P.O.V‘Dear Big Sis…I met a girl recently…and I think she’s a witch.’“Shit!” I deleted the entire text and stared grudgingly at my screen. “Who the fuck writes ‘Dear’ in their emails anymore?”Letting out a sigh, I closed my eyes and thought about what to write to my sister or how to place the pressing issue at hand. My ginormus crush on Dixie Vaughn, the ‘goth’ girl that had stolen my heart at first sight.The first day of college had been the most uneventful day of my life; completely different from what I had imagined the day to be like. But when I had entered my first class of the day, thinking that this would be just as eventful as a middle-aged professor with glasses entered with a pile of books and began introducing the subject and himself to the class…in had come Dixie, wearing all black, her hair in braids and metal hoops and a dragon tattoo on one hand, that covered the entire length of her arm.Her crop top had grabbed just as much attention as her belly button pi

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe moonlight painted a silver sheen over the restless waves, their endless dance meeting the shore with soft whispers. I walked along the damp sand, the cool grains pressing between my toes as I followed the trail of footprints ahead of me. Large wolf paws, their weight sinking deep into the earth, followed by much smaller ones—tiny, hesitant steps pressing into the sand right beside them. My heart clenched at the sight, warmth spreading through me as I lifted my gaze, scanning the dimly lit beach. And then, I saw them. Caleb emerged from the shadows of a large tree, his toned body gleaming under the faint glow of the moon, dressed only in his swim trunks. His hair was damp, clinging to his forehead, evidence of his earlier run through the waves. But it wasn’t just him—right beside him, waddling as fast as his tiny legs could manage, was Cameron. Our son. Only two years old, but already fascinated by everything his father did. His brunette curls bounced as he giggled,

    Caroline’s P.O.VThe wedding reception buzzed with laughter and music, the air thick with the scent of roses and wine. I sat beside Damien, the warmth of his body just within reach, yet it felt like there was an ocean between us. Five years. Five years of love, passion, fights, and making up. Five years of knowing—deep in my soul—that this man was mine, my mate, my forever. But lately, something has shifted.The once unshakable bond between us felt... strained. I didn't know when it started, but I knew I could feel it. The way he held me less, the way he spoke in careful, measured tones, the way his eyes sometimes seemed far away even when I was right in front of him. And it was killing me. I swallowed hard, gripping my champagne flute as I turned to him. He was staring ahead, his jaw tense, his eyes unreadable. Damien had always been composed, always guarded with his emotions, but this was different. This was distance. And I couldn't stand it any longer. "Damien," I said softly, my

    Aurora’s P.O.VFive years later…I stand in front of the mirror, my fingers grazing the intricate lace of my wedding dress, feeling the delicate embroidery beneath my touch. The reflection staring back at me is almost unrecognizable—the girl I once was has transformed into this woman, this bride, glowing with anticipation. My heart is steady, my breath even, a stark contrast to the usual nervous energy brides are supposed to have. But how could I be nervous when this is everything I’ve ever wanted? "Aurora, I swear you’re the calmest bride I’ve ever seen," Caroline teases, her fingers fussing over the tiny buttons at the back of my gown. "Are you sure you’re not secretly panicking?" I turn slightly, meeting her playful gaze through the mirror. "I’m sure," I say with a soft laugh. "I don’t need to be nervous when I know exactly what I want. My family is here. Caleb is waiting for me at the end of that aisle. There’s nothing to be afraid of." Caroline's expression softens, and before

  • Claimed by My Bully Alpha   Chapter 164: Cursed Existence

    The ground trembled beneath the ruins of the old house, the earth groaning as though awakening from a restless slumber. Crumbled stone and splintered wood shifted, dust rising in thick clouds. Then, with a slow, eerie movement, the debris parted, forced aside by an unseen power.From beneath the wreckage, a woman emerged—no, something that had once been a woman. Her silver hair, now dull and matted with grime and dried blood, clung to her gaunt face. Her skin, once smooth and luminous, stretched tight over her bones, her cheeks sunken, her lips cracked.She took a ragged breath, a sound more like the whisper of dead leaves scraping against stone. In her frail arms, she cradled a child, no older than twelve, her small form limp and unmoving. The girl’s face was peaceful in unconsciousness, her dark lashes resting against pale cheeks, stark against the filth and dried blood staining her skin. The skeletal woman’s hollow eyes fixated on her, but there was no warmth, no tenderness in her

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe next few days were a whirlwind of events, from college applications to making sure the progress of the new house, the one that was currently being built in the land where my previous house stood, was going as smoothly as I had anticipated.Finally, after days of hard work and sending out applications, Caleb and I found some quiet time for ourselves and we couldn’t help but sneak out of the packhouse, so we could spend some quiet time together.“Phew!” Caleb sighed as we headed to the beach, our fingers intertwined and him swaying our hands lights as we walked through the thick foliage. “It’s been a rough few days.”I nodded, my smile faltering for a minute as I thought about all the applications that Caleb had rejected…all because of me.He thought that I hadn't seen them, that he had managed to hide them efficiently. But he hadn't. And even though we had both now perfected the art of hiding things from each other through the mating bond, there were still a few gli

    Aurora’s P.O.VI felt my stomach tighten with surprise as I step out of the car as Caleb holds the door open for me.Of all the places in the world, why here? My eyes darted to him, searching for some kind of explanation, but he simply smirked, his hand going to the small of my back as he propels me forward.“You’ll find out soon,” he said, his voice laced with a mystery that only made my curiosity grow.I let out a small breath, shaking my head as I glanced towards the diner again. That’s when I saw them—Jade and Caroline stepping out of their cars, their faces glowing under the warm evening lights. But what truly caught my attention was Damien, standing in the distance, his posture relaxed yet unmistakably expectant as he waited for Caroline.My heart gave a strange, unsteady thump at the sight of the diner. It had been so long since I had seen them, Jeremy or any of the staff, since I had felt the warmth of their presence.As they headed inside together, Caleb reached over and plac

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe auditorium buzzes with energy, a mix of hushed conversations, excited whispers, and the occasional burst of applause as another name is called. I sit between Caroline and Jade, my hands clasped together with Caroline, and Caleb sits beside Jade, his knee bouncing slightly. The four of us have spent years dreaming of this moment—of walking across the stage, receiving our certificates, and stepping into a world far beyond the walls of this school. But now that it’s here, I feel an odd heaviness in my chest, like the weight of the past pressing down on me, a reminder of everything it took to get here.The class president is giving his speech, something about perseverance and ambition, but my mind drifts. I swallow hard, fingers tightening around the fabric of my gown as I stare at the stage. Almost a year ago, I wasn’t sure I’d make it to this moment. The obstacles, the losses, the nights I thought about giving up—they all come rushing back in a blur. But I’m here. I m
