“You can count on me, Gamma Aurora.”Chloe looked at Aurora with a sweet smile, hiding all her dark thoughts behind that smile.“I promise. I will be on my best behavior.”Aurora’s eyes were in slits. There was still a hint of suspicious on her face.Yet just then, a horn broke out from the distance
There was a deep furrow between Jared’s brows.“Veronica didn’t lie,” he said in a firm voice.“How can you be so sure?” Damien snorted, “Were you with her when she met the Rogue King?”“No. But I can tell from her face that she was telling the truth!”“Either you are terrible at reading people’s fa
Aurora handed her a pad and a pen, “Slow down. Write down what you want to say on the paper.”Veronica grabbed the pen and wrote down one word hastily in caps:MANAnd as though that was still not enough to prove her point, she quickly wrote down another sentence underneath that word:He was sitting
Damien dipped his head down and kissed her back hungrily.His arms tightly wrapped around her and pressed her against his chest. His body temperature was abnormally high. Aurora felt as though she was melting in his arms.“W—What is the matter with you…” she groaned as he kissed her neck. “Are you h
“Relax. I was just messing with you. You seemed too tense.”He placed one hand on the back of her neck and started giving her a massage, which felt kind of nice.“And truth to be told, I don’t think Veronica was lying either,” he said.“Great, you think so too! I paid extra attention to her facial e
The following day, Damien left the Crimson Fortress again.The rogues had done great damage to this area when they occupied the city. There were many small towns and villages nearby, all suffered from the rogue’s tyrannies.Now that they had taken the Crimson Fortress, it was time to clear out this
“Great. We can use as much help as we can get!”Angelina set the bag of grains aside and stood up from the stool.“Glen, can you report to the warehouse? They are doing some heavy works there and we just don’t have enough men.”Glen hesitated and then looked at Veronica.“Are you alright on your own
Veronica grabbed the pen. Hastily, she wrote down:Something wrong with the man out there. We have to tell Gamma Aurora!Chloe looked at her writings.“You mean Silas? He is the local blacksmith. What can possibly be wrong with him?” she said in a drawling voice.Veronica bit her lips in anxiety. Sh
Clemente could smash a rock with barehand, yet he couldn’t take his finger back from this delicate little hand.How amazing was that?Clemente took in a deep breath and asked, “Is it a boy or a girl?”“A boy,” Westin smiled.“Have you thought of a name yet?”Aurora shook her head and then asked, “Wo
Westin frowned and straightened his back immediately.“Clemente listen—”“What is wrong with this child?” Clemente clenched his fists, asking in a hurried voice. “Lycans should give birth to pups! But this baby…this baby doesn’t have a wolf? Should we call in the doctors and let them take a look?”“
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
