Aurora's POV I groaned as a sharp headache hit my head. Slowly, I opened my eyes but immediately closed it back. The room was completely dark. I hated the dark, scratch that, I was terrified of the dark. Where the hell was I? Mustering up courage, I opened my eyes again, squinting it, hoping I would see something. But, the room was pitch black. I tried to move, but something restricted me, making me gasp. Everything came rushing down at once. My mother's death. The rogues. Injected with silver. How the hell was I still alive? Maybe they had injected me with a little portion of silver, enough to black me out? My entire body was tied up and my hands were tied behind my back. Thankfully, they hadn't used a silver chain on me. I would have been dead by now. 'Is mate going to find us?' My wolf, Mia, asked quietly. She was also weak from being injected with silver. 'I don't know, Mia. I'd like to believe he would.' Then she kept silent after that. Was Kaizen going to find us or I'd
Aurora's POV Loud war cries and howls pierced the air. Leo immediately dropped his outstretched hand as panic welled in his eyes. Relief flooded through my body as I realized that my mate had come for me after all. I felt guilty for doubting that he would even bother about saving me. I was probably going to have an earful for running off without thinking of potential dangers lurking around. The red-eyed rogue finally turned his raging eyes to me. He tried to mask off his fear of Kaizen as he shouted, “Get her out of here!” He growled at Leo. “All our plans will be ruined if that bastard succeeds in getting her back. Hurry!” Nodding his head, Leo quickly grabbed my arm and yanked me to my feet, he proceeded to untie the thick ropes on my body. I staggered back a little, the effects of the silver haven't completely worn off from my body. “I'll get you out of here.” Leo said as if that was supposed to make me feel better. That monster wouldn't be able to get his hands on you anymore.
Kaizen's POVGasps and cheers filled the air as the pack members caught sight of us running out of the woods. I had changed into shorts before coming out. Aurora was sound asleep in my arms as the crowd surrounded both of us. PPushing past them, I walked towards my house. As soon as I got there, I pushed the door open and proceeded to carry her up the stairs to my room. I called the pack doctor and he came, five minutes later. He immediately got to work and started doing whatever doctors did on her. He shook his head in horror as he came back with the blood test he had taken a few minutes ago. My eyebrow furrowed as I looked at him. “What the fuck is wrong?” I demanded, feeling annoyed that he wasn't telling me anything. “A-alpha. She was injected with silver.” I clenched my hands into fists, making the doctor tremble in fear. He immediately added. “Thankfully, it was only a little portion of it, but it hasn't completely worn off from her body.”Then do whatever it is you have to
Aurora's POV I let out a gasp as Kaizen pulled my body to him and I landed inside the tub with him. His cock poked my ass, making me moan. I let out a tiny whimper and clung onto Kai for comfort, I melted into his arms as he trailed demanding kisses on my neck. I arched my back and closed my eyes as my body burned with insatiable need. He drugged me with his touch and I was like putty in his arms. I mewled as he brought out his tongue and lapped at my neck, sucking in it and biting it lightly. I moaned, pressing my naked body into him. With the way he was sucking on my neck, I was sure he was definitely going to leave love bites on my neck. “Kaizen…” I breathlessly moaned his name. I tried to speak but the pleasure was too much. “What do you want, neonata?” “I want —I want…” “Hmm?” I could feel his arrogant smirk on my neck and I groaned in frustration. “For goddess' sake, fuck me already!” I snapped, losing my patience. “No.” Kaizen said with a grin as he pulled away
Aurora's POV My lips moved in sync with Kaizen as he slammed my back against the wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he carried me towards the bed. He squeezed my ass and grinded his hard on against my wet heat. I moaned into his mouth as I closed my eyes at the pleasure I was feeling. My entire body burned with need and adrenaline. He dropped me on the bed and crawled on top of me, a deeper kiss followed, fierce, wet, abandoned. I was trembling, my head was spinning and my vision grew hazy. I unconsciously scratched his back, bringing him impossibly closer to me so there was no space separating us. “What do you want, fiorella?” I glared at him under my lashes, if he was playing tricks with me again… His deep chuckle resonated through my entire body. “I'm serious this time around, baby.” Goddess, I love it when he calls me baby. “Now, tell me, what do you want?” He asked, kissing the side of my neck. “Do whatever you want to me.” I moaned out. “Kaizen, please.” I said
Aurora's POV My glare burned through Kaizen's back as he got off the bed completely naked to discard the condom. I tried not to let my eyes wander to his perfect ass as he walked graciously. Even when he was completely naked, he still managed to walk like he owned the place. A few minutes later, he came back wearing a new pair of shorts and a washcloth in his hand. He dropped down in front of me and removed the sheets from my body, baring my naked body to him. He parted my legs gently and started cleaning my core with the warm cloth. My face burned as a deep blush crawled up my cheeks. But he didn't notice as he concentrated on the task he was doing. He treated me with so much care. When he was done, he trashed the washcloth and grabbed one of his shirts for me. I put it on and turned to face him, hoping he would see the seriousness in my expression. “What did you mean by that? Did you intentionally not mark me, Kaizen?” I asked in disbelief. He sighed and nodded his head but he
Aurora's POV“Do you both have to leave?” I said brokenly, trying hard boy to burst into a fit of tears as I watched Alex and Andrea prepare to leave. I wanted to go with them bit I knew Kaizen would never allow me. Alex sighed and pulled me into a hug. “You know we have to leave, Riri.” I immediately melted as soon as I heard the familiar nickname he's given me since diapers. “That monster is still out there somewhere, he's walking around freely after killing our mother and if Alpha Tiberius isn't going to do something about it, then we damn well will.” Alex gritted out as his jaw ticked in anger. There was agonizing silence as the memories of our mother swarmed in our heads. Trying to fight back my tears, I nodded my head in understanding. I wanted my father to pay for what he did to our mother. Andrea came over to me and engulfed me into a warm hug and kissed my forehead. He pulled away and ruffled my hair, his eyes were red and I could tell he was trying to control his emotions
Aurora's POV I immediately stepped away to avoid the shards of glass from piercing my toe. I glared at him heartedly, feeling anger rise in my bones. “What the hell is wrong with you?!” I yelled, unable to control my anger. You could have hit me with the bottle!” “I don't fucking care.” He said, standing to his feet as he moved to get out of the living room. I immediately came to his front and blocked him. “What is going on, Kaizen? Why are you doing this? We were fine last night.” I pleaded, looking at him and hoping to see a glimpse of softness in his eyes. “Last night wasn't meant to happen. It was a mistake.” He bit back harshly. I felt like I'd been slapped on the face as I staggered back. My eyes stung with tears but I immediately blinked them back. “Tell me this is a joke. I k-know you didn't mean it. If it's an expensive joke, p-please stop it.” I stuttered, hoping he was going to burst out laughing and tell me it was all a prank bit his expression remained stoic. H
SIX MONTHS LATERAurora's POVI woke up with a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach as the urge to vomit hit me hard. Kaizen's body was pressed flush against my back as his arms draped lazily over me. I tried to ignore it and snuggle more into the warm body next to me.Just as I closed my eyes to go back to sleep, the urge to puke got so strong that I couldn't hold it in anymore. I immediately scrambled out of the bed and made a beeline into the bathroom where I hurled my guts. I tried to control my breathing as I vomited every content I ate last night. This has been going on for a while now and there was no other explanation to it than what I was thinking. “Fuck,” I groaned out, running my hands through my messy blonde hair.“Rory?” Kaizen's voice called out from the door, before I could give him a response another wave of nausea hit me suddenly and I hauled my tired ass into the water closet, puking my guts out.I dry heaved and felt a warm hand softly stroking my back. Kaizen f
Aurora's POV“You probably think I'm a horrible person,” Lucious whispered into my ear and I suddenly felt the urge to curl away from him in disgust. Thinking of everything he has done for power was enough to make me haul right there. I thought Kaizen was a monster but Lucious' was the real cold hearted monster.I felt something warm on my ear and realized Luscious' mouth was on my ear, biting and sucking on my earlobe. I fought against his grip but he was more stronger than me.“Get your fucking hands off her.” Kaizen gritted out. “Or what?” Lucious taunted with a smirk. “You and I know you're completely defenseless and powerless when she's here.” He said, pointing at a grinning Saffra. “So, I guess I'm free to do whatever I want, sí? I could decide to undress her...” He tugged at my dress. “Or I could even fuck her so hard right in front of you and you will watch in pain knowing you can do nothing about it. Would you want that, Rory?” He proceeded to run his filthy hands on my skin
Kaizen's POVA cold chill ran down my spine at the mention of her name. It was as if I could already feel her presence before even seeing her. She was here, flesh and blood. After so many decades, after ruining my life and turning me into a monster. This was my chance. The opportunity I'd always been waiting for has come right in front of me and I'll be damned to let this go in vain. It was time to get my revenge, time to revive myself, time to become a new man who doesn't have to kill to feel satisfied.And the only way to go about that is if she dies. “ Saffra is known to be the most wicked witch in our coven. She misuses her powers and abilities. Kills the innocent, binds them by her curse so they would become her puppet. The curse would only be broken if the one who placed it on you dies. Once she breathes her last breath, the chains of the curse would be broken.” Those were the exact words I was told by a witch.No matter how hard I had tried, I never got my hands on her but I k
Aurora's POVOur moment of pure Bliss was abruptly cut short as the demon charged towards us with inhumane speed. Without a second thought, Kaizen's body started to shift, his bones cracking as his muscles bulged and his black fur sprouted. I watched in awe and fear as he transformed into his beast, a fierce and powerful creature.The demon didn't hesitate, launching itself at my mate with claws extended. But Kaizen was more faster and agile, dodging the attack and striking back with his own claws. The demon snarled in frustration, its red eyes glowing with anger.The fight was brutal and intense, the demon's strength matched by Kaizen's ferocity. The ground shook with the force of their blows, furniture and decorations crashing to the floor.Despite the demon's otherworldly abilities, Kaizen was more stronger and determined. He fought with all his might, using his teeth and claws to rip into the demon's flesh. Blood spattered across the room, mixing with broken glass and shattered w
Aurora's POV “P-please don't hurt him, he has done nothing wrong! Leave him alone, please!”“This has always been his fate, little Aurora. Your mate wronged me and it's time for payback.” A raven haired woman said with a sick smile.“Dont, please! NO!” Series of loud howls pierced into the air and i jumped awake as my body body completely covered in sweat. Kaizen immediately wrapped his arms around my sweaty body. “It's fine, baby. You're fine. It was just a dream, okay?”“N-no, i don't think so... It felt so real. I could still hear your screams.” I said, my body trembling with fear. My eyes watered with tears as I looked up at him. “S-she killed you... In the dream— I can't lose you. N-never.” “Nothing will happen to me, okay? Relax. Take deep breaths. You're going to be fine. Come on, go back to bed.” He said in a soothing voice as he ran his hands through my wet hair.“Are you sure?” I murmured into his chest, my mind still replaying the horrifying nightmare. It felt so real. I
Aurora's POV“Are you okay?” I asked Kaizen as he came back to the room after going to the balcony to pick his call.He sighed. “Not really. News has gotten to me that they would be attacking in two days time. And I have a feeling it's going to be brutal.” He ran his hands through his dark matt of hair. The moon glowed around his skin and I couldn't help but worship the sign of him.I immediately snapped out of it as there were more pressing matters on ground right now. “Do you think we can trust him?” I said, finally voicing out my worries. “Rostov? You have nothing to worry about, little one. I believe we can trust him in this. Just trust me, okay?”“How can you say that? You barely even know him. He could still be working for Lucious for all we know. I just hope we aren't making a bad decision once more, Kaizen. I don't want to lose you.” I said softly, rubbing my palm on his jaw.He gently took my hand and placed a kiss on my open palm. “You're not going to lose me, baby. And I d
Rostov's POVThree days laterThe sheer shock on Lucious'face was so fucking obvious as I walked into his chambers. He dropped the glass of wine he was currently sipping as he acknowledged my presence. “They let you out?” I could see that he immediately regretted the words as soon as they were out of his mouth.I feigned confusion as I casually walked over to him and poured myself a glass of red wine. “What are you talking about? I was never caught, do you think that lowly of me?” I said with a chuckle, barely controlling myself from storming over to him and choking the life out of him.I couldn't believe this was the same man. The sane man I called a brother from another mother, the sane man who I trusted with my whole life, he has been lying and deceiving me for the better days of my life. How could I have been so fucking dumb?I was really starting to believe Kaizen's words about me being Lucious' puppet, who he uses to do his dirty jobs. I was so fucking foolish and restarted to h
I walked into the basement with Zane trailing right behind me. After telling him everything I've never told anyone, I could say there was a noticable difference in our relationship.Zane was a man I cared for deeply, his mother included. When I had 'episodes' with my deadbeat parents, he was always there. Understood me and listen to my worries like a brother would. At first he was disappointed that I would keep such a huge secret from him for so many decades. But that was immediately replaced with immense anger and rage.It felt... refreshing to finally let people in. I had been taught that telling your problems to others made you weak. I lived with that mentality for the past 300 years of my life. Never opening up to someone, while letting it eat at me and pretend I was fine.We finally stood at the middle of the basement where Rostov was tied up and badly beaten and bruised. I felt rage bubble within me as I looked at me, it took all will power not to snap his fucking neck and call
“Scarlett?” I asked in surprise as I looked at her. She looked so different and even more beautiful than I remembered. She suddenly engulfed me in a bone crushing hug. “When Zane told me, I couldn't believe it. I had to come see for myself. It still feels like I'm dreaming. I missed you so much. We all did.” She said with a sniffle.“I missed you all too. If I could change things I would have done that a long time ago. I was deceived. Deceived info thinking that my mate was my murderer.”She gasped, pulling away from me. “What? Are you serious?” I nodded my head solemnly. “Sadly, I am. I lived seven years of my life hating my own mate, plotting for revenge without even knowing the actual truth. I did this all for nothing, only to find out that Kaizen was impersonated. They made me believe he killed me by impersonating his face.” My anger grew as I explained to her. I was in doubt before, but I was starting to believe this was all a plot.And I couldn't help but suspect Lucious was i
