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
Everything worked out perfectly.Chloe left the office room and returned shortly after with a trolley full of sorted grains and an empty sack.She opened the closet door and shoved Veronica’s body into that sack. Then she lifted that sack onto the trolley.Chloe pushed the trolley out of the office
Chloe clamped her mouth shut to stifle a scream.Veronica’s dead body was lying on the ground, right in front of her eyes. Blood was pooling. Chloe stepped back urgently to avoid her shoes being tainted.And she was shaking violently in fear. It took her almost a minute to utter, “Y—You killed her…”
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.

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
