“Mommy, when is daddy coming home?” Ruston asked Aurora while he was writing down his answers on his assignment. Aurora smiled down at her son and softly patted his head. “Don’t worry about him dear. He would be back by the evening,” Aurora replied to him softly.Aurora’s answer caught Selwyn’s attention and he lifted up his gaze from his paper. “Can we wait for him to come home?” Selwyn asked his mother excitedly. It’s only been a few days since Sebastian had left, but the twins couldn’t hold their excitement to see him already. Although Sebastian isn’t biologically their father, the twins are much closer to Sebastian than they were to her as their mother. It’s expected to happen since she gave birth to twin boys. They would naturally feel more closer to Sebastian than her because of their gender. If she only had a daughter, then she would have someone who’d feel closer to her. Even so, there were times when Aurora couldn’t help but feel unreasonably jealous of her brother becaus
Aurora’s chest tightened and she almost couldn’t breathe as the horrors of her past flooded her. She’s having an anxiety attack which hadn’t happened for a long time.She thought she already got past that, but here it is again. Just the thought of meeting Lorcan or Celia, and anyone in the Moonvalley Pack is enough to get this kind of reaction from her.Sebastian panicked when he saw the amount of distress happening to his sister. With an alarmed expression on his face, he hugged his sister tightly, putting a tight pressure behind her back to calm her down.When Sebastian started to hug her, she knew what to do. She instinctively started to take deep breaths which finally helped her calm down.Aurora finally relaxes, and the tightness in her chest slowly disappears. Seeing that she had successfully calmed down, Sebastian assisted her to the nearest chair to help her relax.With a trembling hand, Aurora grips Se
With a few months left in preparation for the Werewolf Assembly, Aurora dedicated all of her time and effort to making the best out of the Nightshade Pack. The Nightshade Pack is a small Pack and although it had developed greatly during the five years of Aurora’s help, it is not quite much compared to what it used to be. Even so, Aurora did her best to make sure that their guests would have the best experience in their Pack. It’s been so long since the Nightshade Pack was chosen to host the Werewolf Assembly. Before, when they were high in their ranks and considered as the strongest among Packs, the Nightshade Pack was often chosen to host from small to big events.After the disaster, however, the Nightshade Pack wasn’t able to host any events again. This was the first time that they were given a chance to host an event after all these years. Aurora gave her best to make sure that she would far exceed the guest’s expectations. Luckily, this wasn’t the first time she was placed in c
Lorcan wasn’t the same person that Celia had known when they marked each other. Lorcan had turned into an emotionless person who just wanted nothing in life.He went according to his parents’ wishes and did whatever was good for the pack because he simply wanted nothing.Lorcan is like a robot clothed in flesh and skin. He isn’t the same man that he was before. He has turned into a completely boring person.Celia sat on the floor with her back resting on the side of her bed with her knees huddled together. She took in short and rasped breaths as she stared straight at nothing picking on the mark wound on her neck.Even though Celia is still alive, her skin is already festering. The mark wound on her neck is so bad that it looks like the skin of a rotting zombie.Celia got that wound after she was marked by Lorcan five years ago. Celia thought that once she and Lorcan had marked each other, they would become special m
Celia was frozen in shock when Raven’s words entered her ears. Her face paled, and her lips quivered slightly as she stared right through Raven like she was looking at a ghost that had risen back from the dead. It would be better if she were staring at Raven’s ghost, but the Raven in front of her is alive. She could even feel her heartbeat. Celia’s heart raced within her chest as she stared at the person she thought she would never have to see again. This explained everything that had happened to her in the last five years. Raven tricked all of them! She just faked her death this entire time. No wonder why her body had a negative reaction to Lorcan’s mark. It’s all because Lorcan’s true and marked mate is still alive. Aurora held a smug look on her face as she witnessed Celia’s reaction which she had been eagerly waiting to see. Celia did not disappoint Raven’s expectations. She felt a tickle down her chest to see the person who had tormented her before feel intimidated by her.
To be able to hold herself together like this in front of him just shows how strong Aurora had become. Staring into Lorcan was like staring at the adult version of her sons. Her sons mostly got their physical appearance from their father. So, no matter how much Aurora had tried to forget about their father, it was hard when her children would always remind her of him.Aurora’s mind went blank for a moment. She did not expect that she would also meet Lorcan at the same hour. She was just in the middle of taking care of her business with Celia when Lorcan came and interrupted them. “I-It’s you. I-It’s really you,” Lorcan whispered as he looked at Raven with a pained expression in his eyes. Aurora narrowed her eyes when she saw the hints of betrayal that glinted in Lorcan’s eyes. She had imagined all possible reactions that Lorcan could have once he finds out that she’s alive, feeling betrayed isn’t one of them. “H-How could you do this to me?” Lorcan breathed out, his voice soft and
“Good evening everyone!” Sebastian greeted the guests enthusiastically as he walked up the stage. The hour has finally come and it is time for him to make the announcements to formally start the event. Aurora, Lorcan, and Celia just came back to the party in time to hear the whole speech that Sebastian had prepared. Aurora felt a little relieved that her conversation with Lorcan and Celia was cut short. Just when things were about to get out of hand, one of the waitresses came and interrupted them to call them back inside since Sebastian was about to make her speech. Aurora was glad that she made that kind of preparation. Aurora wanted to make sure that everyone was going to hear the announcement. So, she specifically ordered their Pack omegas to check all the places where the guests could be lounging, including the gardens and the restrooms, and to call them into the party to hear the announcement. They had no choice but to cut their conversation short and go back inside. The cr
Aurora is taken aback by the warm hugs and the warm welcome that everyone gives her. Everyone was just so glad and relieved to find out that she was alive. She did not expect that there were such people who actually cared about her death. She thought when she died, nobody could care less about her. She just found out today that there were many people out there who genuinely cared about her. These kind Lunas who were looking at her with solace in their eyes were people she only met once before at the Werewolf Assembly. Yet, they were all heartened to see her alive. Aurora felt comforted to know that there were others aside from her own Pack and family who genuinely cared about her. Aurora gave them all a small smile, their kindness made her lost for words. Just as how Aurora had arranged for their special dinner, the Alphas, and Lunas are separated to their own tables. Sebastian is assigned to eat with the Alphas and entertain them, while Aurora is left to eat with the Lunas and ta
