With everyone watching, Hellen, Paul, John, and a young man came across the crowd and arrived at the stage.Aurora immediately recognized that young man as the Ravenwood’s middle son, Owen.Owen was a large and sturdy man with his bulging muscles and bushy mustache. He seemed like one of those peopl
Even though she flumped temporarily, she was sure that she could win back everyone’s heart within no time.Holding her breath, Chloe stared at her parents and waited them to voice out their disagreement.Hellen took a step forward facing the whole stand and answered in a firm voice, “The entire Rave
A woman stood up from the stand.And to everyone’s surprise, this objector was Angelina, Chloe’s largest victim.Damien looked toward Angelina with a frown, “Are you raising objections now Angelina?”“Sorry to interrupt you, Alpha Damien. But yes, I do object to those penalties,” Angelina answered w
“Hold on a second.”Angelina took a step forward and stuck her hand out to the guard, “Actually, can I do it?”The guard looked toward the stand reluctantly. Seeing that no one objected, he gave Angelina the tattoo needle and stepped down.“Well…Miss Chloe, have you seen this day coming?”With the t
The crowd hadn’t fully dispersed yet.Many people heard Hellen’s accusation. They stopped in their tracks and looked over.Aurora was in no mood to argue with them. She darted them a cold glare and turned around, walking away hastily.“Stop her! That fraud is getting away!” Hellen shrieked.John jum
The crowd burst into a gale of laughter. And John’s face turned red.Aurora raised an eyebrow in surprised.Damien was taking her side this time?How odd.“And about the money you talked about—” Damien turned to Hellen and Paul and asked, “Give me a figure. How much does she owe you?”The couple exc
A second chance?Aurora didn’t know how to respond to this. Nor did she see this coming.“Why do you want to get back with me anyway? And what about Chloe?” Aurora asked.Damien frowned, “What about her? I am talking about us.”“Isn’t she the love of your life?” Aurora questioned, “You only married
Paul looked exhausted.He tossed his jacket on the floor and slumped down on to the sofa.“What do you know about business?” he said impatiently.“Just tell me if it is true!”Hellen’s high-pitched voice startled Paul. He jerked up and roared to his wife, “Stop yelling at me you stupid bitch! Yes, I
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
