The group of rogues ran for their lives, including the Scar. One of them tried to take Aurora with them but he got shouted at by another:“What the fuck are you doing! Just fucking leave her—”He didn’t get to finish.The next second a giant black wolf leaped out from the darkness and bit down on th
“The timing is suspicious. They attacked us first right before we send out our advance force. And they chose the perfect target, Fox Town, which is geologically easy for them to attack and retreat, and it doesn’t have many armed soldiers. They can’t have this much information without somebody on the
Everyone in the room turned to look at Aurora, who frowned at Glen’s question.“Rogue’s language? What are you talking about?” she asked.Glen looked reluctant. After letting out a long sigh, he continued, “I didn’t want to say anything at first but since we are naming names now…Remember that strang
Damien rose from his seat.With everyone staring, he walked to the door and called over a Silver Blade soldier, asking him to find Kaelan.“We should hear what Kaelan has to say,” said him deeply.Moments later, Kaelan was brought into the room.“You requested to see me?” he asked blankly. “Did anyt
Aurora looked at him blankly. It took her a long moment to process what he just said.After what felt like an eternity to Kaelan, Aurora finally muttered in a dry voice, “…This joke isn’t funny, Kaelan.”“I wish it were a joke. But it wasn’t,” Kaelan said breathing heavily. “I—I can’t keep this from
“All rogue’s kids got one of those on the day of their birth,” Kaelan said lowly. “There were times when I wanted to grab a knife and gouge it out…I can’t choose who I am or where I came from. But does my identity matter more than my own will?”Aurora stared at his ugly shaped brand.Her chest contr
The room lapsed into silence again hearing about Angelina’s words.What she was saying about the Rogue King got everyone intrigued.“You know the Rogue King personally?” Glen asked. “What is the Rogue King like? We know so little about this person that we aren’t even sure about the person’s gender.”
Damien looked back at her, his gaze soft.“Alright, you love birds!” Jeff cried and turned towards Steven, “That leaves you to vote man. Are you with us or not?”“I don’t see what other choices I have. It’s 4 against 1 no matter what,” said Steven grumpily.“Alright! It settles then,” Jeff clapped h
He smirked in a cocky yet very youthful kind of way, “I figured…If you like my wolf, maybe you will like me better?”Aurora bit her lips.She didn’t know how to tell Westin that his wolf appeared more intimidating than likable to her.“Your wolf looked very different than ours,” she said eventually.
The formidable creature stood in the dark shadows, towering at an imposing height.Its eyes, burning with a golden fire, traveled across the aghast soldiers, and landed on Aurora’s face.A creeping chill was sent down Aurora’s spine as their eyes met.She swallowed, nervously.…Now she finally saw h
Aurora was confused as well.What Damien had in his palm made no sense to her.It was a cup of dirt.“How is some dirt going to find us locate the bandits?” Westin crossed his arms with a smirk on his face. “I have got to say—this is not a very smart way to get Aurora’s attention.”“Hey.”Aurora elb
“I need to go.” Aurora threw the napkin back on the table and stood up, “Now if you will excuse me.”She wanted to make her way past these two men.But Damien grabbed her wrist.“What is the rush? You haven’t had dinner yet. Something happened?” he asked with a frown.“No. Everything is fine—”“Oh c
Aurora took a deep breath, “I haven’t decided yet.”“You need two whole weeks to decide?” Damien frowned.“I think your best option is right here in front of your eyes,” Westin spread his hands.Whispers broke out like little hissing fires all over the hall.Everyone was intrigued by this love trian
It was a floor-length, emerald-green evening gown.It had a fitted bodice with intricate silver beadwork that extended down the waist, creating an elegant and eye-catching pattern. The skirt flowed gracefully, creating a slight train.“I like this one,” Aurora pointed at the dress.“Great choice, pr
Announce whom she would marry?But she hadn’t decided yet!“Hold on a second.” Aurora frowned, “What if I can’t decide within these two weeks?”“Then you make up your mind quickly.”Lance crossed his arms and said:“You saw how they were like out there. They can’t stay in the same room peacefully fo
Damien gently pushed a lock of her hair to the back of her ear, “…I should have done the same for you.”Aurora struggled to look away from those enchanting eyes of his, “Yes you should have. But now it is too late.”“It is never too late!”Damien’s tone suddenly became rushed, “Aurora, I want to ask
An awkward silence fell upon them.Rivena bit her lips, looking reluctant to answer, but eventually gave in under everyone’s sharp gaze.“Well…yeah. I am…actually,” she sighed.“You are pregnant, and you still decided to leave me?!” Lance raised his voice abruptly and roared, “Are fucking crazy?!”R
