Aurora's POV

After leaving Ellen down the street, I continued my journey barefoot to the hideout we have. I hope I won't find either Lucas or Lilian there because that will make things even worse for me than they already are. My mind, fatigued, carried me to our hideout in less than a minute, not feeling a single pain, though I know I've hurt my feet.

I arrived at our secret hideout nestled deep within the heart of Brown Wood, a place where Lilian, Lucas, and I once found solace and happiness. The air here held echoes of laughter and camaraderie from our younger, carefree days, the days where tattoos won't cause chaos in one's life.

The hideout was concealed behind a dense curtain of leaves and branches, a natural shield from prying eyes. As I approached, memories flooded back—the countless times we shared secrets, dreams, and whispered fears, even the camps we made in broad daylight with no fire.

The heart of our haven was a small waterfall, its green-tinged water cascading down moss

    Alpha Caden.I made sure the parlor is dimly lit and the sun is already setting down the horizon. I stood tall, my alpha presence commanding attention. Henry, my beta, sat across from me, his eyes attentive, awaiting my words. The air was thick with the weight of responsibility as we delved into serious matters concerning the pack.As I observed, his wife lingered outside the parlor, her subdued sniffles permeating the room. The ambiguity lingers; it's unclear whether her tears stem from the intense conversation between her husband and daughter or the heart-wrenching loss of Aurora. Both Henry and Taylor are extremely prideful which is something Flora has always talked to Taylor about. She wouldn't talk to her daughter for months because she ran away. Does that even make any fucking sense? I mean, your first concern should be why she ran away in the first place. Were you doing something wrong that she couldn't stand or is it something else? But no, they were mad she took that step wit

My best friend, once a pillar of support, now stares down at me with a blank expression that gradually transforms into a disapproving frown. It feels as though I've unwittingly become an unwanted intrusion in her path, a presence she wishes to obliterate.A presence she didn't expect to see at our "hideout" because I am inconveniencing her. Then again, I was the one that actually found this place then Lucas sneaked behind to see what made me speechless to answer their calls. That is how we made it our personal space when we want to be alone. So yeah, she is in my space.The sheer disbelief washes over me like a torrent, prompting a visceral question –have I undergone such a profound transformation since our last week on FaceTime? I search my own reflection in the mirror of her gaze, desperate for an understanding of why she regards me with such unfam

  • His Daddy Is My Second Chance Mate   18: Comfort and solace

    Aurora's POVLilian and I step forward in unison, our strides syncing as we navigate the forest floor. The canopy above casts intermittent shadows, playing with the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. The air carries a sense of anticipation, the soft rustle of leaves beneath our feet creating a natural symphony. It felt like all those years ago only that one set of feet is missing. As we approach the stone, its weathered surface reveals the passage of time, etched with memories and stories of those who came before us. The surroundings seem to hush in reverence, creating a momentary stillness that contrasts with the subtle sounds of nature. We knew there were some others before us but this time around, it is only us. No one knows about this place. Lilian's silhouette beside me is a familiar comfort, her presence a reminder of shared laughter and secrets. The play of light accentuates the contours of her features, casting a gentle glow on the path ahead. We exchange glances

    Aurora's POV"I really missed you here, Ro. It was so bad without you. I had no best friend to talk to about the craziest things. No sleepovers or slumber parties. Ughh, it was so boring." Lilian said as she relaxed her head on my shoulder while I wrapped my arms around her. As we sat by the familiar stone in our secret hideout, the conversation shifted to the experiences we had been through during our time apart. She decided to go first because to her, she was more wounded living all alone here in a secluded place as she liked to call it. Yeah, Brown Wood is nothing but secluded. It is amongst the largest packs in the world. "Life in the human world is so different, Lil. It took me quite a while to get used to their ways, but not shifting made it easier in some aspects. I don't know how Eva would've liked it if we were able to shift." I shook my head at the thought. My wolf would've killed me. "No I wouldn't." Eva defended in my head instantaneously while I gave her the 'you know

    Alpha Caden"Dad, you there?" Lucas said through the mind-link just when I came down from my high. Fuck. "Yes yes. I'll be down in a sec." I murmur in the best gruff voice I could muster though I don't have to use my voice. Shit, this is the worst timing ever. Hastily standing up from the bed, I quickly changed my sweatpants since the other one was ruined. I thoroughly washed my hand so he won't smell the whole thing then add whiskey just to make the process much easier. Fuck, I didn't expect Lucas to stop by the mansion. At least not today since he knew I was mourning. Or doesn't he know that? Isn't he supposed to be mourning his mother too?I stepped out of the room and made my way down the stairs to the living room where the mind-link is directing me towards. The dim light revealed Lucas, shoulders slouched, staring into the amber liquid in his glass. The air seemed heavy with grief and uncertainty. Even from behind I know he looks very disheveled and he misses his mother a lot.

    Aurora's POVI turned away quickly when I saw Lucas slowly walking towards us. It seems like he didn't recognize me at first with the way he was walking nonchalantly though he looked really burnt out. It looks like he is grieving more than anyone else with the way he appears to be out of it and depressed. He appears as a figure enveloped in mourning, his demeanor a reflection of the heavy weight of grief that hangs upon him. His shoulders slump beneath an invisible burden, and his gaze, once vibrant, now carries a distant sadness. Even his hair looks dull from that one look I gave him. Not the usual Lucas vibe. The one that made all the boys in Brown Wood pack want to dress like him and have hair cuts like his. Everything Lucas Black does is copied by all the boys then I don't know about now. This isn't the Lucas that used to bask in the attention of both males and females those years ago in highschool. He looks obviously older now with two days of stubble covering his cheeks. He i

    Aurora's POVWedding. Ahh, Ellen was talking about Lucas and Anne's wedding earlier but I didn't let myself think much about it. What is there to think about anyway? What should I think about? It's not like I have any good relationship with either of them. Nor will I be attending their wedding. Werewolves don't marry for whatever reason. They decide to have a mating ceremony which is enough for them as long as they are marked. Then why the hell do they want to have a wedding like some freaking vampires or witches? Or maybe human since they are mainly known for that too. The impending wedding between Lucas and Anne amplifies the raw pain of betrayal that has been etched into the fabric of my past. Lucas, my first mate, the one who callously rejected me, is now pledging his life to another. And I am unfortunate enough to have come back just when they decided to do that. Why didn't they do that years ago? Why now?,Anne, once my best friend too, seized the opportunity to claim my mate

    Returning to the alpha's mansion, I expected a semblance of order, only to find my car conspicuously absent from where I meticulously parked it. Initial calm was replaced by a surge of anger, a fiery response to the audacity of someone violating my personal space. The reason I forced myself to get an apartment alone even when I was struggling to make ends meet in the human world. I have always loved my space and hate when anyone violates it which is the same thing alpha Caden just did. He is getting on my last nerve now. The agreement to endure the proposed punishment didn't grant the right to invade my privacy, Alpha or not. I don't care if he leads thousands of people. I don't consider myself a member of his pack anymore. I am here against my will which means he isn't the boss of me. I won't take such violations. Suppressing panic, I scrutinized the surroundings, searching for any sign of my missing vehicle. The notion that the Alpha, in his authoritative position, might have rif

Her wolf paced restlessly within her, agitated and yearning. She turned over, trying to find a comfortable position, but it was no use. The bond she felt with Caleb was like a persistent itch she couldn't scratch, a need that gnawed at her insides.With a frustrated sigh, she threw back the covers and got out of bed. The cold floorboards against her feet did nothing to soothe her restless spirit. She wrapped a shawl around her shoulders and quietly slipped out of her room, the moonlight casting soft shadows in the dimly lit corridor.Her steps were silent as she made her way through the palace halls, the silence of the night amplifying the sound of her own heartbeat. She knew where she was going. There was only one place she could go. She needed to see Caleb. To feel his presence. To understand what had happened between them.

I could feel the tension radiating from him as I approached, my heart aching for him."Caden," I called softly, but he didn't stop pacing.I moved closer, gently reaching out to touch his arm. "Caden, please. Sit down. Let's talk."He halted, looking at me with stormy eyes. "Fox, you don't understand. My own brother... with my daughter. How could he do this? How could she?"I guided him to the couch, my touch gentle but firm. "I know you're angry. But getting worked up like this won't solve anything."He resisted at first, but I coaxed him with soft touches, my fingers brushing his arm, then his cheek. I leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. Slowly, his rigid posture began to soften. He sighed heavily and allowed me to lead him to sit down.As he sat, I settled myself on his lap, facing him. "Cad

She felt hollow, her mind a swirl of confusion and heartache.The door creaked open, and Aurora stepped in quietly, her expression filled with concern. She crossed the room in a few quick strides and wrapped her arms around Lilian, holding her tightly.

The events of the past week had been tumultuous, and he needed her to understand why he hadn’t told her about him and Aurora. But as he reached for the door, something felt off. The door was slightly ajar, and the scent of sweat and sex hung thick in the air.Pushing the door open, Caden’s eyes widened in shock at the sight before him. Lilian was in bed, naked and tangled in sheets, with a man beside her. His heart dropped when he recognized the man—it was Caleb, his twin brother.

Caden roared, storming into the room.Caleb barely had time to react before Caden's fist connected with his jaw, sending him reeling back onto the bed.

Thick and veined, the shaft juts out proudly from his fist. The crown is fat and red, the slit on top glistening with a drop of wetness.His cock is massive, almost intimidating in size.

When she groaned again, he lightly bit down on the swell of one breast.“I need to taste every inch of you,” he whispered, his voice dark and commanding. “I need to bite every perfect part of your skin.
