It's been five days, and Aurora only has two days to leave her pack. She had lived under the shadows of her room for the past few days, and she could not grasp what she wanted to do to escape. No central plan crafted by Elena was a success, as she was never allowed to leave the pack or even leave her room except the kitchen and had guards who watched every step she took.
As she walked again towards the kitchen, she heard a sound coming out from the end of the passage, which leads to the Library. It sounded more like grunts, and she wondered if someone was in pain. Slowly, she walked towards the path, watching her steps as the ground was rocky and she was barefooted; the grunts now were increasing, and another sound came with it. It was a moan, a moan from the end of a passage; before she could realize what was happening, she saw two shadows in the dark, and it was apparent what they were doing: they were making out,
"Aurora, what are you doing here, you bitch, aren't you supposed to be preparing to be married off loser."
She heard a voice that sounded quite familiar and cocky said to her, and then it struck her,
"Rebecca!"
She whispered in shock. She was half naked as she was bent on the wall with her hands held by Robert while he was having sex with her; she hadn't gotten used to letting her mate go, nor had she gotten used to seeing her mate banging her sister so immensely.
"We are busy. Are you blind to see that?"
Rebecca said as she let go of Robert and arranged her dress while Robert quickly zipped up his trousers in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, I heard a sound coming from here, and I thought someone was in danger."
Aurora winced as her body shook with sadness, and it didn't take long for tears to start cascading down from her cheeks; she wasn't ready for all of this,
"Well, ex-mate, you have to get used to seeing me around fucking your sister; we felt convenient having it here; I hope you enjoyed the show?"
Roberts said as he roughly pushed her to the wall, which made her hit her butt on the ground with so much force that she hissed with pain, and that wasn't over; if she had known she would meet her nightmare in here she wouldn't have bothered coming, she would have minded her business, but instead, she decided to chip in.
"Next time, always call the guards for assistance; someone like you cannot even save the day, so do not bother coming here alone, or you won't be lucky."
Robert said while he held onto her upper cloth.
"leave her, don't advise her; she might still well die before she gets married off to the devil himself; perhaps her life will be easier and shorter."
Rebecca said, obviously jealous that Robert was still talking to her step-sister, and she quickly dragged his hands away from her as they walked away, not before stepping on her.
As they walked off from the passage, Aurora felt heavy sobs raked through her body; she never expected to be treated this way growing up. Life was slow and perfect, but now she lives in shambles of her past, and only the little remnant of her past gives her but a little hope.
She stood up as she gazed through the hall in which the two couples had strode off from, she looked upward, and she found a window there, a window big enough to contain her, and a smile crept on her face; damn the consequences, she was going to escape the next day, with the help of her best friend Elena, the next day, that is when alpha Adam will come to take his beloved depressed bride.
****************
Aurora woke up with a smile on her face; her plan had been crafted; all she needed to do was wait for Elena to come over, and as if the goddess was working with her on her escape, Elena walked into the room, she looked a little bit stressed but also excited for whatever reason.
"You look stressed and excited. Are you okay?"
Aurora inquired as she quickly dressed up for the day. Elena looked down at her, and she wondered what was going on with her; she seemed so excited for someone who was going to be married off to the devil.
"My father bought my dream car, the Jeep Wrangler, and I'm so stressed with the excitement of driving that around, and I wished you to be around to see me drive that around, but you will be married to Alpha Devil..."
"I plan to escape, escape to the human world, away from my father and the pack and my soon-to-be husband."
Aurora said, interrupting her words. She was so excited that her best friend finally owned a car, which would be an excellent departure memory for her.
"And what's the plan?"
Elena asked, looking so surprised and astonished.
"I saw a window at the upper side of the castle, and I know the window. We usually used that window to escape as a kid and play hide and seek with Robert when we were still friends, and he hadn't met my bitchy step-sister. I think I know how to escape using that Window. It is high from the ground, but there's a built ground balanced enough for me to walk over. This ground leads to a secret passage leading you out of the castle. It has been forgotten for years now, and I had used it to save a friend of ours and helped her escape from our pack without anyone noticing."
Elena said as she quickly stood up from the bed; she bent down to Elena and whispered something into her ears. Elena's eyes widened at her words,
"I'm going to help you escape Aurora, even if that's the last thing I can do to help you. I won't watch my best friend get tortured more than this."
Aurora said, quickly standing up. They headed to the door; they had no time left, and as if knowing on cue what they had planned, the gate to the entrance opened, and Marissa stepped into the room alongside Rebecca, who gave her a wicked smile.
"I knew you would plan on escaping today, but that won't be possible."
Marissa said as she approached Aurora. She examined her face, brushed her hair backward, and her actions caused Aurora to gasp with shock; why was she trying to be so nice to her because she would be married off and away from her way?
The guards will lead you to your husband's pack members; they are here to see their betrothed. You better behave and abolish every escape plan, or you will be significantly punished. Be grateful that you will be married off to the most powerful werewolf in the world... It's just if you will survive him."
She said the last words in a whisper, and she felt her body shake with betrayal, hurt, and hopelessness.
She wasn't going to escape as planned; her plans had been ruined, and there was no hope of escaping, or was there?
Chapter 4Three men stood in the throne room, their scent different from every other member in the room. The aura they exuded posed a threat to every single member of her pack. Aurora could feel the tension in the room the moment she stepped in. Her body shook at the attention she received from everyone."Here she is, the bride to the alpha king," her father said to the men. They hadn't looked at her yet, and she wasn't ready to meet them. However, she had no choice. She looked beside her and saw Alpha Nathan with his son standing with no emotions on their faces, while Rebecca clung to his arms like his mate, instantly causing her heart to tighten.Suddenly, an eerie sensation swept over her as she sensed penetrating gazes fixated upon her. The men in the room were unabashedly staring at her, their distinct scents permeating the air—a melange of rain-soaked earth, musk, leather, and cypress. These were aromas she had never encountered from werewolves, and their potency was undeniable.
Chapter 5The path to the secret exit was easy, short, and something they could definitely handle until they almost bumped into Rebecca. Quickly, they hid behind the pillar, which easily covered them. Rebecca looked like she was disappointed at something and was murmuring to herself. As she came closer, what she was saying became clearer."I had thought they would treat her with disrespect. How could she be worth two hundred thousand dollars? That's a huge amount for someone as low as her. I couldn't even be worth such, and the alpha king can't be as bad as people always said. The men looked so handsome and good-looking, and I can form a plan to be the one the Steelheart pack takes to their pack rather than the bitch of my sister," Rebecca said as she crossed their path without noticing or scenting their presence because she was so engrossed in what she was saying.Aurora was totally flabbergasted at what she heard. Why would her sister be jealous of her for getting sold off her life
"You do not run away from your home using a dangerous path, Miss Aurora; you might get yourself killed," Oliver said. He could see the fear in her eyes, and he could also sense that she looked grateful for being saved."How did you locate me? I ran away; you weren't meant to find me. I never wished to be sold," Aurora said. She looked scared, and for the first time, she looked at their faces. Damn, these men were so handsome, and she had never imagined that men from the Steelheart pack could be dangerously handsome. Now she knew why her sister suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to take her place instead."As soon as the guards you had deceived alerted us to your escape, we decided to look for you. We talked calmly to your friend, and she told us where you were headed, so we followed your scent and found you. You were about to be killed, and Alpha Adam wouldn't be happy with the news that his soon-to-be bride had tried escaping from him. He would destroy your pack and find you,
Chapter 7Aurora stood on the porch of her family's castle, a suitcase at her feet. The sun was setting over the trees, casting long shadows across the lawn. It was the last time she would ever see this place, the place she had called home for so many years. But she didn't feel sad; she felt numb. Her father was standing in the doorway, his arms folded across his chest. He didn't say a word, just stared at her with cold eyes. There was no warmth or affection in his gaze, just a stony indifference. He didn't care that she was leaving, didn't care that she would never see him again. He had made it clear that she was no longer welcome here, that her place was not in his pack. "You are a curse," he had always said, and taking her away was one of his greatest achievements. Aurora watched as her sister gave her a discerning look, filled with disgust, anger, and jealousy. Robert, her stepbrother, had no idea what her stepsister had done behind his back, nor did he care if she was leaving the
Aurora opened her eyes slowly; the hit had made her dizzy for a while. When she opened her eyes, what she saw shocked her to the brim."We never hoped to encounter these demons in here. They are getting closer to the werewolf lands," Oliver said, staring at her for a while to ensure she was okay. "We need to step out. I can't trust leaving you here. If anything happens to you, the alpha king will not take it lightly with us," Oliver said, and quickly she nodded her head. Whatever was waiting for them out there was dangerous, and quickly she stepped out from the car, and what she saw traumatized her.Standing in front of them were something that she had never seen before. There were eleven of them, and they surrounded them all around. They were different from normal werewolves; they had thick hair around them, and they were in their human form, but still had a strong wolf presence in them. They had long, sharp claws and deep, dark eyes like that of a beast. They looked disgusting, huge
Aurora groaned with pain as her head smashed into a tree."Arrrrhhhhh," Aurora screamed.Standing in front of her was a tall, huge creature—a Rarewolf. He had a victorious smile on his face, displaying his teeth. She couldn't help but feel her stomach rumble with disgust."Who is running off in the middle of a fight?" The Rarewolf said, watching as she struggled to move back away from him. He had done a great job injuring her.Aurora felt too weak to stand up. Her leg had broken because of the hit she had received from him."Stay away from me, back off," Aurora said. Her voice was low, and she could feel her body in so much pain."And why should I obey you? Alpha Adam has killed my brothers and sisters, and killing you will save me from the pain and agony. Also, killing you will kill him."His words shook Aurora to the brim. She felt her body shake with fear and tremor. So he was Alpha Adam. Alpha Adam was the man who had sent shivers down her body without even trying. His eyes were c
"Alpha Adam, she survived the virus; luckily for her, her body took the virus and there's no virus found in her," the doctor said. He looked so surprised and shocked. He had never experienced this in his entire lifetime ever since the virus started getting rampant.Adam looked at him with a questioning look. There was no way that was possible; she survived the virus, and she never transformed into one of them."What do you mean she survived the virus? She should have been dead by now or transformed; her wolf is out of existence, and she doesn't look strong to you," Alpha Adam said. Slowly he walked towards her, checked her pulse; she was breathing normally, and her body temporarily was normal. She just needed to rest for a little."I feel so confused and shocked as you are, but I can't find the virus in her. Her body seems to have absorbed and destroyed the virus, which has never happened before," the doctor said again as he showed Alpha Adam the X-ray of her blood.There was no way s
"One, Two, Three …"She counted before slowly opening her eyes. The first thing her eyes made contact with was the sun; the heavy light from the window almost blinded her. With her eyes finally adjusting to the light, she looked around the room. Was she in heaven? Definitely not. This doesn’t look like heaven. The room looked charmingly devilish, filled with the scent of wet earth, rich cedar, and a hint of musk. It was a primal, animalistic scent that sent shivers up her sleeves, belonging to someone powerful and alpha.The door opened quickly, jolting her out of her thoughts.“Miss Aurora, you are finally awake,” a young lady said, dressed in a uniform.“My name is Lina, and I have been assigned to be your personal maid,” Lina said with a smile on her face, her round pouty face making her look cute and beautiful.“Personal maid?” Aurora asked, staring at her with confusion.“Yes, Miss Aurora. The alpha king has assigned that I should be your personal maid…”“Alpha king?” asked Auror
