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
Chloe looked as though she had just been slapped on her face.Her body trembled violently in humiliation. Her face changed from red to grey and then to pale.“…She just missed one day’s meal. It is not a big deal,” Chloe gritted, holding on to her last thread of dignity.“And that increases the dang
Aurora’s heart jumped to her throat.That was the same question that she had been wondering.Silas couldn’t be that nice to give this kind of supreme power away to Damien.So what was Silas planning on exactly?She wished that Silas could answer Chloe.But Silas simply replied with an impatient tone
Aurora blurted out, “What are you—”Morgana put one finger on her lips, silencing her, and pointed to Aurora’s left.Aurora saw a back door leading to the yard on her left.She immediately stood up, bent down, and snuck out of the kitchen quietly.The head maid was yelling at the others to give her
“Unless you know any secret tunnel leading outside, not guarded by the soldiers, then I don’t know which route is safe for us—”“…The wedding,” Westin said abruptly.Aurora’s eyes lit up.Right.The wedding!It was the perfect timing, with all the guests coming into the city and the palace packed wi
There was a short silence in the shed.Then the three of them burst out laughing in unison.“That is the spirit, Aurora!” Morgana cried, “You have got to make that bitch pay!”“I believe you already have a plan?” Westin looked at Aurora with a grin.“I do,” Aurora nodded.Kaelan pursued eagerly, “Th
Chloe took these photos herself.She was quite proud of her charms. So she took those photos to commemorate how many men she had seduced to bed.Many of those men were older than Chloe and were already married with kids.These photos came with another important purpose.Growing up in an orphanage me
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. She also wondered if she was a bad mother. But she knew this wasn't goodbye forever. Like Aspen said, he would always be her son.
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
