Maxie froze.She was struggling internally.On the one hand, there was her pride and dignity; yet on the other hand, there was her families.After a painful long pause, she chose the latter and slowly buried her face down to Baron’s shoe.Baron and Owen crackled with laughter as she did.Maxie was t
The only way left for her was to do dirty works for Baron and kept her mouth shut about everything.And she could handle these, as long as her families were safe.Maxie ran out of the training field and jumped in her car. She started the engine and raced toward the direction of that location.The la
Damien’s soldiers poured into the lumber camp and controlled all guards. All labors in the camp were shivering in fear.Rivena quickly went to calm these people down.Maxie still couldn’t believe what Aurora was saying, “But how did you know where my families are…”Damien walked over and answered on
Maxie dropped the whip and turned back to Aurora and Damien. Grateful tears were shinning in her eyes.“Thank you…Alpha Damien, for stepping up for me and my family.” She choked, “And Gamma Aurora, thank you for getting to the bottom of this. I treated you terribly earlier today and I feel awful…”“
Aurora had to breath deeply to calm herself down.“You are doing it again,” she said and tilted her head, putting a little distance between them. There was a hint of accusation in her voice.“Doing what?”“Treating me like an innocent little girl and trying to fool me with sweet talks.” Aurora strug
Aurora brought Maxie to meet with Damien and together they worked out a plan. After nailing down the details, Maxie went to talk to Baron at his house as they had discussed.The front door to Baron’s house was shut and all curtains tightly closed. There were some angry civilians and journalists outs
Half an hour later, a large group of soldiers poured into Baron’s front yard. They attracted a lot of people’s attention on their way coming down there. So right now there was a group following them, watching them avidly.There were even some discussions among the watching crowd:“What is the fuzz h
Maxie slightly parted her lips as though she couldn’t believe what Damien just said.And so was everyone else.They were all staring at Damien and Maxie, dumbfounded, as this information sank in.Aurora was the first one to start clapping. She smiled looking at Maxie and cried, “Go Maxie!”Maxie’s f
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
