Dominic's POVA lone figure stood in the corner of the room. The afternoon sun gave a perfect view of his perfectly chiseled jaw, he was staring out the window as the sunlight illuminates his face, but despite his phsicsl appearance, his expression was grim and his eyes are cold and unemotional. This expression had never left his face in the past seven years. He'd never smiled or showed any other positive expression over the years. His ruthlessness was what worried the entire pack, he showed no mercy. And he kills out of instinct. “When you are done staring at me, Dominic. You can as well get out.” His deep velvety voice echoed throughout the room, not looking in my direction. “My apologies, your highness. What I came for is rather important.” My voice suddenly gree serious. What I had seen last night had shocked me to the core. If I hadn't made physical contact with her, I would have thought I was hallucinating. But she was real. Very real. “I'm in no mood to have a conversation

Dominic's POV Kaizen flew from his seat as soon as the words were out of my mouth. His body shook as rage radiated off of him in waves. “Don't. Don't you ever fucking mention her name again. What stupid stunts are you trying to pull? I will not tolerate such nonsense, friends or not.” He growled, jabbing a finger at my chest. I wasn't going to let this go. At least not yet. “What the hell do you think I would gain by making such expensive jokes? I'm fucking serious. Aurora is alive. I fucking saw with my two eyes.” “Bullshit.” He took the bottle of whiskey from his desk, and took a large swig, not even wincing as it burned down his throat. He swallowed and looked at me with stern eyes, I could see the storm of painful memories swirling in his eyes. “I do not wish to have this conversation with you anymore. Get out.” He gritted out, pointing at the door. I stood my ground. “You have to believe me, Kai. I saw her, Aurora is fucking alive—” Without warning he threw the bottle at the
Kaizen's POVExactly nine hours later, our flight landed in Sicily. It was still afternoon so we decided to book a hotel we'll be staying in, then at night we would set out to the club.Seven years. It's been seven years since I've smiled. Seven years since I had a purpose in life. Life was pretty meaningless to me now. The only source of redemption the moon goddess blessed me with, she also snatched her away from me without remorse. Arriving in Sicily, I still found it hard to believe that Aurora is alive. It wasn't possible. It just wasn't. And I would be glad to prove him wrong on his assumptions.Dominic and I walked into the hotel lobby, tired from a long day of travel. We approached the reception desk and asked the receptionist if they had any available rooms.The receptionist probably took our question the wrong way as she took that as an opportunity to openly flirt with me. The receptionist, a young woman with red hair and bright red lipstick, looked me up and down and smiled
Aurora's POV “Are you sure you're going to be okay, Rose?” Maximus asked for the umpteenth time today, his tone filled with worry. “Of course, I will. I'm not a child, you know? I can take good care of myself.” I laughed, exasperated. But he clearly didn't find it funny. “It's just that, we've never left you all alone for that long, I can't help but be worried about you.” Maximus said with a sad frown. “How do you think I've been coping for the past five years before I met you both? I'll be fine, Max. You need to relax and enjoy your vacation for the next one month.” I said, patting his shoulder with a smile. He looked unconvinced. “But, that's different—” Thankfully, Raphael cut him off before he could finish his sentence. “Leave the poor girl alone, Max. I trust her to take proper care of herself and you need to do that too.” Raphael stated in a firm voice. Though, Maximus was the older one, one could easily detect that Raphael was the dominant one in their relationship and it
Aurora's POVI rushed into the changing room and jammed the door, locking it abruptly. I placed my hand on my chest as I tried to calm my racing hand.Shit. Shit. Shit.How the fuck did Rostov get false information? It was clearly a big fucking mistake working with them! They just ruined all my plans.I rushed and started putting on my clothes. I needed to get out of here as quickly as possible.There was a rapid knock on the door as I was buttoning my shirt, making me freeze. I clamped my mouth shut, trying not to let any sound slip out of my lips.“Aurora? Aurora are you in there?” I breathed out a sigh of relief as soon as I heard Elaine's voice. I quickly opened up the door for her and locked it back as soon as she was in.“Aurora. What's going on? I saw you run from the stage like someone was hot on your tail. You haven't even performed for up to thirty minutes! You ran like you saw your psychotic ex or something.” How do I explain to her that it would have been better if I had
“Hello, Aurora.”My heart dropped to the ground as I moved to slam the door shut but as if sensing what I was about to do, he blacked the door with his shoe and slammed the door open. He barged into my house and locked the door, slipping the key into his breast pocket. My eyes flashed with fury as I balled my hands into fists. A rollercoaster of emotions filled my mind. Standing here in front of me was the man I once loved with all my heart, the man I lay my heart to on a silver platter. The same man who tried to kill me seven years ago.“What.” I gritted out. “The fuck are you doing here? How did you know where I lived?”He leaned casually on the war as he pierced me with his gaze. “I must say Aurora, you were a pretty good actress, a pretender and overall, a pathetic liar.” He commented, ignoring my question. My eyes drifted to the kitchen, all I needed to do was just take three steps and I'll have my hands on that knife. He hadn't noticed yet, as he continued looking at me. With
Aurora's POV I dropped the vase to the ground as I watched him lay motionless on the floor. I immediately ran to the living room and searched for my phone. I finally found it and searched for Lucious' number with trembling hands. He didn't pick on the first ring, so I tried again and again. And again. Finally, he picked on the fourth ring. “What the fuck, Aurora? Why are you calling so late at night? Do have any idea what the time says.” I swallowed the lump in my throat as I stated Kaizen's unconscious body on the floor. If he was here, then he had definitely come with someone. And a part of me knew that person was Dominic. In no time, he would start searching for him. “Aurora? Is everything okay?” Lucious' worried voice called out from the other end, snapping me out of my thoughts. “H-he's here.” I mumbled, sitting in the corner of the living room. I didn't know doing this would be so hard. My heart pounded rapidly as I held the phone in an iron grip. “Who? What the hell ar
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
