“No—! Don’t come any closer to me! I am warning you!!”Chloe cried in panic, backing away from Rivena.Rivena snickered, “Or what? Are you going to kill me?”“I am Damien’s future Luna, a Ravenwood’s daughter!” Chloe snapped, her voice high and shrill. “And I have 3 big brothers in my family! Don’t
Damien stared at Aurora’s feet, his thoughts racing.Those scars seemed relatively old.So maybe she got it when she was caught by those rogues?Yes, that must be it…Damien’s line of thinking was interrupted by Chloe’s wailing the next second.“W—Why are you all pressuring me? I can’t take this kin
After tonight, all guests would return back to their own pack. And those who were selected to the training would head down to Silver Blade Pack.The party began at 8. Aurora appeared by the front door precisely at that time.Yet she received quite a few hostile glares as soon as she entered the hall
On the day of departure.An army of Ever Moon Pack soldiers was gathered by the borderline at dawn.Damien and Chloe would ride with the Ever Moon troops going back to Riverside. Other pack’s Alpha, such as Jared, would go back to their own pack and assemble the army before joining them in Riverside
First Jared and then Lance…How many more were still out there?!“Lance is my brother. And Jared…”“What about Jared?” Damien asked forcefully.Aurora was irritated by his tone, “It was only a goodbye kiss…a propriety! But probably a northern savage like you won’t understand!”Damien almost threw a p
In Silver Blade Pack.A black Benz was parked by the street.Beside the car, a chubby, middle-aged woman was sitting in an armchair letting a maid rub her fat shoulder from the back.“How much longer?” Mrs. Hellen Ravenwood closed her eyes and asked.A short and stout man was smoking his pipe with h
Hellen glared at Aurora with round eyes. Her toad-like face twisted in rage.“No…Impossible…” she murmured, “But how…?”“I survived.” Aurora smiled icily, “Even though you left me to the rogues to be raped and murdered…I still survived. I must have outlived your expectation, Mr. and Mrs. Ravenwood.”
“G—Gamma?”John made a funny noise as though he just got punched in the face.“How is that possible!” Hellen cried in a high-pitch voice, “You? Aurora? AS GAMMA?!”She couldn’t believe it.Hellen clearly remembered how weak and pathetic her daughter was. Aurora used to be other kids’ punchbag and sh
She turns to the doctor, “Run a couple of tests on her. Now.”Two soldiers jumped at her, pinning her on the spot.The doctor got up to her and took out a needle, tubing, and collection vials.…They were going to take her blood!Aurora’s body tensed all over.If they used her blood to run a DNA test
“Queen Aurora! Open the door! Elder Madeline wants to see you!”Aurora sat by the window and turned to look at the closed door.“Tell Elder Madeline that I am not feeling well and prefer to be alone,” she said coldly.“You are not feeling well, which is exactly why Elder Madeline wants to see you! Y
The swear.She didn’t know the consequences that bore with it back then.Now she knew.Bound by that oath, she was physically forbidden to disclose that secret.It was her own doing.Desperate tears streamed down Aurora’s cheeks as she choked, “D—Damien…God…Please trust me…”“Trust you what?”He too
Aurora couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her own eyes.…Damien?How did Damien get in here?! She thought that there was no way either of them could pass that misted forest!And why didn’t he bring more soldiers? He was here alone, how dangerous!And Westin…It seemed that Westin knew Damien w
Amidst the sea of lilies, fairy lights on the archways and trees twinkled like stars, casting a soft, warm glow.The gentle rustle of leaves, the occasional flutter of butterflies, and the distant murmur of a mountain stream added to the dreamy serenity.A path paved by pedals winded through the sea
Aurora stopped laughing.A nostalgic and slightly sad feeling surged up in her chest.Yeah…When was the last time that he made her laugh?“…Back in the Grace Ruin,” she said lowly eventually.“The Grace Ruin.” Westin nodded, “We were facing a lot of dangers and you didn’t even know who I am. But it
Elder Medline was the only person who remained sitting.She crossed her arms and looked at Aurora with a critical eye.“What is with the waistline?” she asked.“What about it?”“It doesn’t fit. And it makes your waist look like a bucket,” she said with a tone of asperity. “The tailors should close u
Aurora held her breath involuntarily.Westin didn’t mention that he had a godmother.And she didn’t remember seeing Elder Medline on any occasion before. It almost felt as though Elder Medline had been deliberately avoiding her.Elder Medline cast a warning look upon Aurora and turned to Annie, “Ris
Aurora sighed.…It was going to be a long day.They arrived at the fitting room and the maids opened the door for them.Everyone in the room stood up and curtseyed to them upon their arrival.“Queen Aurora,” they said in unison.Aurora’s eyes flickered to a girl in the back of the crowd.Annie.She
