“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.
Aurora wanted to pull her wrist back from Damien.But she couldn’t.Her wrist was tightly clamped in Damien’s hand.“What are you doing? Let go!” Aurora gritted.“What the hell is that? Answer me!”Aurora felt a sudden flash of anger.“What do you think this is?” she snapped, “It is a ring, obviousl
Aurora hesitated. And then nodded.She would just keep wondering about Damien and get all anxious if she was alone in her tent.It was better to stay occupied.After saying goodbye to Jared, Aurora followed Angelina to the makeshift market.“How have you been?”She asked Angelina on their way to the
That strange moment that Aurora noticed at the makeshift market, something did happen.Chloe smelt an enticing scent in the air. And her wolf started howling inside of her, calling out to her mate.And she saw the same astonished expression on Silas’s face as well. So he must have felt the same thin
Chloe left the smith shop in a trance and wandered back to her own tent.She didn’t even go back to the makeshift market as she should.She needed time to think about Silas’s proposal.Working with a rogue.That sounded…outrageous!Chloe knew that she was not the nicest person in the world. Yet the
Aurora quietly took the crossbow from her back.She pointed the arrow at one of the Lycan soldiers head, narrowing her eyes, holding her breath.The two soldiers had no idea that death was looming.They were still talking.“Looks like our King is really in love with that she-wolf. Don’t you think?”
Damien was certain that he heard Aurora’s voice at some point.But he didn’t know if that was just another of his hallucinations.He had heard her voice all the time during the past few weeks, sometimes during daytime, sometimes in his dreams.She was calling for his help and telling him that she wa
The crowd jeered.Aurora raised her head, “Oh careful with the big words, Elder Robert. I will rub it in your face when you lose to a werewolf.”Elder Robert’s face darkened.Wells and Belle were in the crowd as well.The twins applauded and cheered for Aurora together, “Go Aurora!”“OK!”Elder Robe
Clemente looked stunned, “You don’t want me to follow you? But the King clearly said that—”“The King is not here,” Aurora’s voice turned cold slightly. “And you saw how those people treated me, Clemente. There is no respect. I need to turn this around and convince them that I can be Queen. This hun
“There isn’t!”He chuckled lowly, “Fine. Then what should we do before bedtime?”“You can read to me. There is a novel on the nightstand.”With one arm still wrapped around her shoulder, he reached over and grabbed the book.Turning the book to the page that she folded, he started reading.He had a
Her heart was thumping so crazily that she was afraid that he might hear the sound of her heartbeat.But she didn’t let her panic show.“Do you have a trusting issue, Westin?” she asked, pretending to be vexed.“Don’t make this about me, my love.” He raised an eyebrow while saying, “First you manage
“Hey what are you talking about over there? We need our pitcher,” Westin cried to them in the distance.Aurora laughed and patted on Clemente’s shoulder, “You should get back in there.”The game lasted for hours till the moon moved to the center of the night sky.Eventually stewards had to step in a
He kept going till her angry screams completely faded in the distance.***When Clemente returned to the castle, it was already approaching nightfall.He immediately wanted to report back to Aurora.Yet a soldier by the front gate said that the King needed him in the training field.So he turned and
Agnes stared at him.The horrified look faded from her face.Eventually, her face became expressionless.“Yes,” she uttered.“…What?”“I said yes.” Agnes let out a light chuckle, “You were asking me for an answer. I am answering you right now—Yes. I do want Westin for myself.”Clemente gritted his t
