“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
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
