They locked eyes with one another.Then Aurora put one hand on Westin’s shoulder and leaned in.She stole a quick peck on Westin’s lips and then backed away again.“There,” she grinned.Astonishment flickered across Westin’s eyes.He grabbed her wrist and chuckled, “You are cheating.”“Yes.” she bli
This was the first time that he ever told her about his background.Aurora was intrigued, “You have siblings?”“Yeah. One brother and one sister.”She wanted him to say more about himself. But he stopped right there.“Looks like one part was worn out.” he said. “I might need to change the part to fi
Aurora knew that she had nothing to hide.She was not Damien’s Luna anymore, nor his mate.Yet when he barged in here and saw her with Westin, her first instinct was still to cover Westin up.Because the look on Damien’s face was just…terrifying!His handsome face twisted in anger. His eyes burned w
“It is me. Damien.”Footsteps came to the door and then the door was opened a crack.Wendy peeked cautiously from the crack.“M—Master!” she gasped, looking afraid. “I was just coming up to tell the Queen about…about what happened downstairs.”Looked like that she saw Damien fighting Westin and got
Chloe tormented Aurora brutally that night.She called in two soldiers and had them hold Aurora tight as she lashed Aurora with a whip.Soon there was no good skin left on Aurora’s body for Chloe to land her whip on. The blood streamed down and painted the white carpet red.The pain was unbearable.
Aurora turned to look at her, “Why?”“Well, I figure that it will be less fun if I just lock you to my bedside and lash you like a dog. That is not very creative. With this sweet thing on your neck, you can move around, and I can trust you to behave. Everybody wins.”Chloe leaned back on the couch a
A sharp, prickling pain shot through Aurora’s body.This hurt even more than the lashings!Fingers were highly sensitive areas with all the nerve endings, and even more so for the nail part.Even a tiny paper cut could hurt for days, let alone shoving a bamboo splinter right under the nail!Cold swe
And her hands were soon rough and chapped in the soap water.Wendy would pace over from time to time and point out some invisible stains and dust.She would deliberately step on the part that Aurora had just cleaned a moment before, leaving some dusty footprints behind, so that Aurora had to redo th
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
