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
The next morning at dawn, all the troops departed from the packhouse and left for Crimson Fortress.The Fortress was about 800 miles far from the packhouse, which would take them roughly 2 days on the road.As they headed towards the north, the weather started to get colder, and the daylight shorten
A flicker of doubt appeared in Glen’s eyes.But eventually he chose to say nothing.“Other Gammas and I are cooking dinner,” Glen smiled. “You want to join us?”Aurora nodded, “Sure. You head out first. I’ll come over in just a second.”Glen waved his hands and disappeared behind the tent.“Listen,”
They locked eyes for a few seconds and Aurora reacted first. She jumped at him, kicked off his knife and tackled him to the ground. Kaelan let out a painful gasp as Aurora twisted his arm to his back.“Aurora! It’s me!” Kaelan cried.“I know it’s you!” Aurora hissed, “What are you doing by my bed si
His voice was low and only the two of them heard what he said.Shock flickered across Aurora’s eyes once she heard what he said, “Seriously? I didn’t suspect that person for a single second. Do you have any proofs?”“No. Which is why we want him to get sloppy and give himself away.”“But how are we
Kevian gave her a warm smile. He then shocked everyone by dropping down on one knee.“Congrats, Gamma Aurora,” he said, kissing on the back of her hand. “You deserve all the happiness.”“Kevian, get up,” Aurora whispered. “You’re a king now, you don’t need to do this.”“And you’ll always be my Gamma
The preparations for the wedding began immediately.Damien spared absolutely no expense. He wanted everything perfect—he was obviously going for the wedding of the century.They decided to get married in the castle at Ever Moon Pack, where Aurora grew up at. The venue was quickly transformed into a
Aurora and Damien stood there for a long time. She waited till the last bit of her son’s scent faded before turning away. Sadness filled her heart and it hurt like crazy. She also wondered if she was a bad mother. But she knew this wasn't goodbye forever. Like Aspen said, he would always be her son.
Damien shifted back instantly, pulling Aurora into his arms so tight it almost hurt. But she didn’t care. His heart pounded wildly beneath her ear, like he was terrified she'd disappear if he let go for even a second.“Fuck…Fuck!” he cursed, his voice rough and desperate. “I take my eyes off you for
Aurora looked at Lance nervously. “What do we need to talk about?”Lance glanced at Westin, irritated. “Westin, can you give us a minute?”Westin crossed his arms, leaning against the tent wall with a cold smirk. “I’m her husband. Whatever you want to say, I can hear.”Lance narrowed his eyes but di
Everyone stared at Damien like he'd totally gone crazy—including his own elders.Aurora was already married—to Westin, of all people—and they even had a kid together. What Damien asked was beyond insane.“My King,” one elder tried to reason nervously, glancing between Damien and Aurora like someone
Aurora didn’t close her eyes once that night.Anxiety twisted her heart painfully, filling her with dread. She couldn’t shake the horrible thought that Damien might take out his anger on Aspen just because he thought Aspen was her and Westin’s child. She prayed for him to think harder on what she to
Westin stood tall and powerful on the windowsill, moonlight shimmering around him, casting a fierce glow over his stern features.“I said, let go of my Luna, Damien,” Westin growled, his green eyes locked dangerously onto Damien.Damien’s jaw clenched tightly, eyes blazing with fury. He pulled Auror
Aspen quickly stood before her and opened her tiny arms. "Stay away from my mom you evil King!" he cried, bearing his teeth at Damien. But Damien ignored him. He stepped forward, eyes cold and fierce and fixated on Aurora, voice dangerously quiet. “Did he just call you Mommy?”Aurora instinctively
