Aubrey's POVI don't think anything is greater than someone handing over the reins of their daughter's life to you. I felt honored and scared at the same time, what did I know that I was supposed to do? I was no doctor. We went to the hospital the next morning, with I thinking about all the things that could go wrong. What if there was a mistake?" Aubrey, are you here?" He touched my arm.Ellie writhed in pain as we went on, and I stroked her head instinctively, my prayer was that there was a solution for her. She shouldn't lose both babies. We pulled up in the parking lot of the hospital and alighted from the car.. people stared at us like we were royalty. I didn't blame them though because we came in a very expensive car. It was a human hospital, I had learned how to tell the difference, I suggested that the second opinion come from here. Meg had offered to follow us but I refused, she had not gotten back to full shape."Good morning, Mr. Knight?" The doctor said. " It's a pleas
Aurora's POVI woke up to the sound of a beeping machine and saw Nathan pacing about the room causing me to be a bit calm. If I was here that means that I wasn't dead right?As if he heard my sound, he turned and a sigh of relief escaped his lips and I waited to see what he would do. " Aurora?" He called as if he was very surprised to see me, as he walked closer to me.He hugged me and I felt pain in my neck as he squeezed it hard, I wasn't expecting him to hug me tight. My bones ached causing me to wonder what happened to me. " What happened to me?" I asked and he looked at me, " Was I shot?" I inquired again. That was the last thing I remembered but I wasn't bleeding so I knew that I probably escaped. "No, you weren't."He replied, but you passed out due to the shock from the attack. " The attacker was apprehended." He raised his brows upwards, "Thankfully," He replied, " I am so glad that you are awake. goodness! when I saw you fall, a part of me died a brutal death." He said. "
Aubrey's POV" Amber!" I exclaimed." What? It's common knowledge that he killed his brother." She spat, her eyes twinkling with rage and I stared at her. She was unbelievable." How can you even say that?" She scoffed, " I'm challenging you, what will you do? Beat me up? Tie me up? Tell me what exactly." She spat again.I could see his fur ruffling, " Tell your sister to get the fuck out of my house." He stated, his muscles expanded in the white shirt and I knew that he was stopping himself from doing something stupid. When I didn't move, he growled and I jumped into action. I pulled my sister out of the house and she stared at me, "What are you doing?" " Can't you see the way he's controlling you? You jumped at his growl, who the hell scares his girlfriend? He wants to turn you into a sex slave." She exclaimed and I sighed. He didn't tolerate any slander against me regardless of who it was coming from so I wasn't also going to tolerate Amber speaking to him in that way. "Listen
Aubrey's POVA week later,"We are gathered at the burial of our beloved brother, friend, father, son, colleague to usher him into the great beyond today. We wish that the circumstances were different but we cannot help it." The priest said. The air was solemn and Mr. Knight rubbed my back. I was breathing hard seeing George's body in the sand, the only thought that came to my mind. He was killed because of me. I understood that this was a dogged arena and it got me thinking. Would things have been different, if he had exercised some patience? I didn't want to die too, but why couldn't we just have it all? Helen's eyes dug into my flesh like daggers and I didn't blame her for a second, a lot of us would have done the same. Hell, I would be more angry if it was my sister who was killed indiscriminately because of a so-called mate, so I didn't blame her one bit. " May the family step forward?" The priest said and Mr. Knight, Helen, Josh, Meg, and Ellie stepped forward.Mr. Knight si
Aubrey's POVHis eyes flickered with some deep emotion that I couldn't place my finger on. I was consumed with the need to comfort him. Funnily enough, I didn't know how." I guess it's in the open now." He said and I stared at him, he didn't seem ashamed one bit, and I found it admirable.He heaved a deep sigh which spoke volumes, and rubbed his face to get rid of the tiredness that sat in his eyes.I couldn't imagine how he was feeling, bottling all of that up for so long. My feet trudged toward him, he opened his arms widely and I walked into him, his large arms enclosing me in his warmth. I rested slowly on his chest and shook my head. How was it possible that he was hurting deeply and still wanted to protect me? These were the little things that comforted me and made me know that he loved me very much, "I hope you're doing fine? It'll soon be over." He said.I shook my head, " Sometimes, I wonder if I am not making a big mistake." I began, I was a firm believer of speaking the
Aubrey's POV"Yes, she was. But...she had a special gift, I think your sister inherited it." He replied." What's the gift?" I asked him. if I had known the gift, maybe I could understand what was going on with Amber." To see visions. Do you have them?" She asked and I shook my head. I had never had flashes, that was what they were called right? " I think you inherited your father's trait then because that's the only explanation I can give." " Okay," I replied, I still had doubts in my mind, " are you sure that I am completely human, and there's no mutation lurking in me?" I asked. " I would have known since you were little." He answered and I stared at him softly. " What's the way forward?" I asked.He stared at me in confusion as he tried to understand what I was talking about. " I mean, now that the burial is out of the way and whatnot, what's the next step? What plans do you have for me?" " What would you like to do?" " I would like to return to college, I know it's not safe
Aubrey's POV" What's this huge mark on my neck?" I challenged him and he sighed in relief. " I thought something great had happened." He said while placing a hand on his chest to calm his beating heart." Huh?"" It's a mark, baby, it means that you're mine forever." He chuckled when he saw my countenance. My eyes widened in horror. He was very happy saying it." What if I don't want to be tied to you, Mr. Knight?" I feigned annoyance and he chuckled as he rose to his feet and walked towards me." I know that's a lie. One of the proudest things I own is your heart." He said smugly and drew me closer to his body, more tingles ran through my body as I stared at him, he spoke with utmost confidence. " You are really full of yourself mister." I said, not bothering to deny the obvious fact. " Aren't you scared that I might leave you one of these days?" I said and he growled loudly.The sound didn't scare me anymore. It was an empty threat but he didn't have to know. What's a little love
Aubrey's POVThree Weeks Later. "Wake up Aubrey, aren't you going to school today?"I groaned, I was not having class until later in the afternoon, unless... Did I really sleep for that long?" Hey," I whispered when I opened my eyes and saw Mr. Knight staring at me with laughter in his eyes." It's noon." I stretched my hands. I was thoroughly plowed, in a good way though, the sheets fell from my body and I picked it up immediately." Are you still painfully shy?" He asked and I gave him a look. Of course, I was still shy, " You weren't shy last night." He teased and I felt my face grow hot indicating that I was highly embarrassed."Don't remind me." " You were begging for more. I can still remember you saying, harder! harder!" He mimicked my voice." I don't sound like that." He shrugged, " Well, that was what I heard, It's cute though." He said and I stared at him." Yeah, yeah, you'd do anything to get into my pants." He grinned widely, " Is it working?" He wiggled his eyebro
Aubrey's POV" Let me check this out." I told Ellie whose gaze bored into mine. Then I walked towards the garden. I stood in front of Amber, eyeing her suspiciously.“What do you want?” I asked her, my gaze was intent on her and I made sure to keep my distance.“Not here, can we go for a stroll?” she askedI kept quiet, I didn't want to be alone with her and I was very reluctant to go on a stroll with her. I couldn't trust her.“Please,” she said,“We are in a public place if you are worried about being alone with me.” She said, with a helpless smile on her face.I sighed, I really did not want to go with her, but I had to hear what she had to say. Reluctantly, I decided to follow her." Have a seat." She ushered but I refused, and she rolled her eyes, " Really, Aubrey? Do you really think I am here to harm you?" She asked and we sat down by a bench.I looked around a bit, scanning the surroundings to make sure that this place was public enough. As if reading my mind, Amber chuckled,
