Aurora stayed in silence for a long moment.Then she turned around to face Damien with a far-away expression.“What do you think last night was?” she asked.The muscle under Damien’s right eye twitched.He sensed her aloofness.Joy was quickly fading away from his face.After a small pause, he tosse
Aurora knew that she should be looking for Rivena and other Gammas. And they should discuss their next moves.But her mind was still on Damien.Her rationality told her that she did the right choice by rejecting Damien.But her heart was not as determined.The hurtful look on Damien’s face played ov
30 minutes later, all Gammas were gathered in the same tent that they had the meeting yesterday.Aurora was the last one to arrive. She wasn’t ready to face Damien after their quarrel.When she stepped into the tent, she saw Damien talking to a man.That man looked familiar.“Aurora!”The man strode
Glen and Veronica were kept in a severely guarded house that they temporally used as the prison cell.When Damien and Aurora walked in, a doctor was examining Veronica’s condition. She was awake already but looked very tired and wan.“How is she, doctor?” Aurora asked.“If she swallowed the whole pi
“Grace Ruin is not their homeland.” Damien shook his head with a dark face.“I have heard about this place. It was once called the Graceland, a beautiful and fertile highland. Until the rogues took it and turned the whole city into ruins.”“So what do we do know?” Steven asked eagerly, “Shall we ta
A chill was sent down Aurora’s spine when their lips touched.She could feel her wolf howling inside of her, craving for the touch of her mate.Damien was apparently as turned on as she was.Holding her waist with both hands, he lifted her up to the top of the desk and squeezed in between her separa
Aurora was utterly shocked.She stared at the grass ring in his palm for a long time before uttered a single word:“…What?”“I know that this is sudden. And you are probably scared—”“No, not scared. Shocked!”Aurora waved her hands hastily.“I am just…God! What were you thinking? This is our first
Yet now…She had to admit that some parts of his speech spoke to what she truly wanted.One thing she hated the most about her marriage with Damien—besides his neglection—was how powerless she was. She didn’t have a say in anything as Damien’s Luna.Standing next to Damien, she was always invisible.
The air was thick with tension and the musky scent of sweat.The moon’s glow filtered through the curtains, casting shadows that danced around the room.Aurora gritted her teeth, clutching the edges of the bed.The pain started as a deep ache in her lower back, intensifying with each passing moment.
“Ahhh…Westin! My…My child!”The room echoed with Aurora’s labored breaths and painful cries.Her eyes were filled with panic, her hand clutching her swollen belly so hard that her knuckles turned white.“It is OK…Baby, it is OK. I am right here with you,” Westin held her hand tightly, desperation et
She vaguely heard the argument going on around her. And she suddenly understood something:…When they first met in the Grace Ruin, Westin always talked about how superior Lycans were compared to the werewolves.She hated that racist thought, which turned out to be planted by Madeline in his head.Sh
“Fuck…Aurora…Aurora! Oh my god…”Westin’s voice was filled with worry and rage, and it was shaking violently.Aurora struggled to open her eyes. But she couldn’t. Her top and bottom lashes were stick together by frost.A large hand covered her eyes, gently rubbing her numb skin.Gradually, her eyela
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
