Aurora’s POV The hours ticked down to the wedding and I found myself immersed in the final preparations of the banquet hall. Alpha Caden had entrusted me with the responsibility of ensuring every last detail was perfect, and I was determined to make it happen. Dressed in my slacks, white button-down shirt, and sneakers for comfort and mobility, I moved through the hall with purpose. I instruct the staff with efficiency like I was born to do this when I have never planned an event in my life. Maybe the opening of my tattoo shop. The tables were meticulously arranged, each adorned with elegant centerpieces of flowers and candles. I adjusted the seating cards with precision, ensuring that each guest's name was perfectly aligned. I had to remove some and add some. It reminded me of the people I forgot about. The lighting was soft and romantic, casting a warm glow over the room, while soft music played in the background to set the mood. A band is also located at the far corner for the
Aurora’s POV I hurriedly made my way to Lilian's place, my phone buzzing incessantly with missed calls and angry text messages from Alpha Caden. Each notification served as a stark reminder of the consequences I might face for leaving the wedding venue without his approval. But at that moment, I couldn't bring myself to care.As I stepped into Lilian's apartment, the familiar scent of her favorite vanilla-scented candles greeted me, instantly putting me at ease. Lilian herself was a whirlwind of energy, bustling around the living room as she set up her makeshift beauty station."Hey, you made it!" she exclaimed, flashing me a bright smile. "Ignore all that drama for now. We've got more important things to focus on, like transforming you into the most stunning guest at this wedding."I couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders in her presence. "Thanks, Lil. I really needed this escape."She gave me a sympathetic look, understanding the underly
Alpha Caden’s POV Frustration boiled within me as I watched Mia dart around the event hall, her movements frantic and purposeful. Every step she took, every detail she adjusted, only served to fuel the simmering anger within me. I clenched my fists, my jaw tensing as I observed her meticulous efforts to ensure that every last touch was perfect for the wedding. Despite her commendable dedication, I couldn't shake the feeling of resentment towards Aurora, who had left the task unfinished before running away.Mia's determination only served as a painful reminder of Aurora's abrupt departure, leaving me to pick up the pieces and salvage what remained of the wedding preparations. The weight of the responsibility bore down on me, amplifying my frustration and fueling my determination to make things right, even in Aurora's absence.As Mia continued to navigate the hall like a headless chicken, I couldn't help but wonder why Aurora had chosen to abandon her duties and flee, leaving me to co
Aurora’s POV I quickly tapped out a message to Lilian, my fingers moving swiftly across the screen. She just left the car after I told her I have an urgent call to answer from the human world. She has to be on time since it is her twin brother's wedding. I don’t have to. "Hey, Lilian, I'll be right back. I just need to check on a few things before joining you in the hall." I typed fast though it’s a lie. Lilian's response came almost immediately, her understanding tone evident even through the text. "Sure thing, take your time. Everything okay?"I nodded to myself, feeling reassured by Lilian's words. "Yeah, I just need to make sure everything's running smoothly. I'll catch up with you in a bit."Lilian's reply was prompt and supportive. "No problem, see you soon."I smiled faintly, appreciating Lilian's understanding. "Thanks, Lil. Be right back." With that, I slipped my phone back into my pocket, my mind already focused on the tasks ahead as I prepared to leave the location. I
Aurora’s POV I entered the hall, a hush fell over the gathered guests, and all eyes turned toward me, their gazes like beams of palpable curiosity. Even the bride and groom, standing solemnly by the altar, were unable to resist stealing glances in my direction.I could feel the weight of their collective scrutiny, their silent questions hanging in the air like unspoken whispers. But I paid them no mind, my focus trained solely on the reactions playing out before me.Anna's gaze flickered with surprise, her features momentarily betraying a hint of confusion before she quickly composed herself, smoothing out the wrinkles of uncertainty from her brow. Beside her, Lucas's expression was unreadable, his eyes guarded behind a veil of stoicism.Ignoring the murmurs that rippled through the crowd, I watched their reactions like a hawk, searching for any hint of recognition, remorse, or perhaps even guilt. But their faces remained inscrutable masks, revealing nothing of the tumultuous emotion
Aurora’s POV As the wedding festivities continued into the night, I found myself seated alone at a table, a silent observer amidst the swirling chaos of laughter and music. The bride and groom, locked in their own world on the dance floor, kept stealing glances in my direction, their tension palpable even from across the room.My parents, conspicuous in their absence, remained distant, their cold indifference serving as a painful reminder of the fractured relationship that had driven me away. It was a harsh reality to confront, the stark realization that even amidst a crowd of familiar faces, I remained an outsider, estranged from the very people who should have offered me comfort and support.Meanwhile, Lilian moved effortlessly through the crowd, her laughter and charm a stark contrast to my own solitude. Alpha Caden, too, was nowhere to be found, his absence a glaring reminder of the complexities of our relationship and the unresolved tension that simmered beneath the surface.As
Aurora’s POV "Alpha Caden," I greeted him quietly, my voice barely above a whisper as I met his gaze with a mixture of resignation and defiance. I knew that he was displeased with me, though the reason for his discontent remained a mystery to me.He remained silent for a moment, his eyes boring into mine with an intensity that made me squirm uncomfortably under his scrutiny. He doesn’t look happy at all. Like something has happened and it is weighing down on him. "Aurora," he finally spoke, his voice low and measured as he addressed me by my given name. "What are you doing out here? The reception is in full swing, and yet here you are, hiding away in the shadows."I swallowed hard, acutely aware of the weight of his gaze upon me. "I needed some air," I replied evasively, my voice tinged with a hint of defensiveness. "The wedding... it's a lot to take in and I don’t like weddings."Alpha Caden regarded me for a moment longer, his expression unreadable as he seemed to weigh my words.
Alpha Caden’s POV Ten Years Later. Her smile illuminated the room, a beacon of warmth that drew me in like a moth to a flame. I watched as she moved gracefully, every motion sending a surge of electricity coursing through my veins. When she stretched against me, her body arched with a sensual grace that left me breathless.I buried my face in her hair, inhaling deeply, savoring the intoxicating scent that enveloped me. Her laughter was like music to my ears, a sweet melody that echoed in the depths of my soul. "I need to send a thank-you note to the company that makes my shampoo," she teased."It's not your shampoo that smells so good," I replied, my voice husky with desire. "It's you. You're delicious." I pressed my lips against her neck, trailing soft kisses along her skin, reveling in the taste of her.Her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as our lips met in a slow, tender kiss.

Aurora’s POV The room was filled with the beeping of monitors and the quiet hum of medical equipment. I lay on the hospital bed, sweat trickling down my forehead, every muscle in my body straining with the effort of bringing new life into the world. Caden was beside me, his strong hand gripping mine, his presence a steady anchor amidst the storm of labor.“You’re doing amazing,” he whispered, his voice low and soothing. “I’m right here with you.”I focused on his eyes, drawing strength from the love and determination I saw there. With each contraction, I pushed with all my might, the pain intense but the goal in sight. Time seemed to blur, each moment stretching out endlessly and yet passing in a heartbeat.The doctor’s voice broke through the haze. “I can see the head. One more big push, Aurora. You can do this.”With a final, desperate effort, I bore down, feeling a rush of relief as the first baby emerged into the world. A lusty cry filled the room, and tears sprang to my eyes.
Third Person POVAfter the tension of the night eased, Lilian and Caleb found themselves tangled in each other’s arms on the bed. Caleb held her close, his warmth and steady heartbeat lulling her into a sense of safety she hadn’t felt in a long time. The bond between them was undeniable, and despite the confusion and complications, there was a deep sense of rightness in being together.Caleb whispered soothing words into her ear, his voice a balm to her frayed nerves. Slowly, Lilian's eyes grew heavy, and she drifted off to sleep, cocooned in his embrace. Caleb watched her for a while, his fingers gently tracing patterns on her back, until he too succumbed to the pull of slumber.They slept deeply, their bodies and souls finding solace in each other’s presence. As the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, Caleb stirred. He looked down at Lilian, her features softened in sleep, and felt a surge of protectiveness and love.

Third Person POVLilian lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling as the minutes ticked by. Sleep evaded her, her mind a tumultuous sea of emotions and thoughts. 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.
Aurora’s POV I found Caden pacing in his study, his face a mask of anger and frustration. His twin brother and his daughter—how could things have spiraled out of control so quickly? 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
Third Person POVLilian sat on the edge of her bed, the room still reeling from the emotional storm that had just passed. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, her body wrapped in the sheets that had witnessed the chaos. 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. Lilian stiffened at first, then melted into the embrace, the dam of her emotions breaking once more.Aurora stroked her hair gently. "Lilian, I'm here.It's okay. Let it all out."Lilian clung to Aurora, her sobs coming hard and fast. "I felt it, Aurora. I felt the bond. We're truly mates, and I think I already like him. I feel like I can't live without him. But now he's madto me, and it hurts so much."Aurora held her tighter, her own eyes filling with tears at seeing her friend in such pain. "Oh, Lilian. I'm so s
Third Person POVCaden approached Lilian's bedroom with a heavy heart, ready to explain everything to his daughter. 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. Rage ignited within him like a wildfire."You son of a bitch!" 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. Lilian screamed, pulling the sheets up to cover herself as the brothers clashed violently."What the hell are you doing?" Caleb shouted, scrambling to defend himself as Caden swung
Third Person POV Caleb rises to his knees, rips open the zipper on his trousers, and fists his cock in his hand.Lilian stares at it with wide eyes, her hammering heart skipping a beat, then starting up again, beating even faster. 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. "That look on your face is a bloody nice compliment," he growls. Then he positions himself between her spread thighs, sliding the head up and down through her pussy lips, wetting it.Lilian gasps, managing a breathy, "Condom?""Wasn't planning on having sex today," he says through gritted teeth, staring down into her wide eyes. "Still time to say no, Lilian."She's so turned on, she can barely think. "You said you were clean?""Aye. I promise.""Then fuck me, Caleb. And don't you dare hold anything back. I want everything you have to give me."His grin looks feral. With a s
Third Person POVDelirious, her eyes rolling back in her head, Lilian gasped, “What the hell is happening?” Maybe she is drunk. “Your mate is fingering your gorgeous wet cunt, that’s what,” Caleb growled, his voice dripping with lust.“Goddess! Caleb!” she cried out, her body trembling.“Aye, lass. Say my name just like that when you come,” he breathed, his accent thick and intoxicating.Rocking his hips into her so his erection was pressed right up against her hip, he kissed a path down her neck to her chest, then licked at her cleavage, dipping his tongue into the cleft between her breasts. 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. I want to fuck you and spank you and make you take my cock down your throat. I want you to tell me every filthy thing you want me to do to you, starting right fucking now.”He pulled his fingers
