Red POVWe sat down on the couch, and I smiled at her as she slept comfortably in my arms.“She is so pretty; what is her name?” I asked.“Rose,” mom said from beside me. Rose fits her so well. I brushed her hair, kissing her cheeks. So chubby, just how I love it. I carried her leg up, and goddess, she has baby fat everywhere.“You look at her like she is running away,” Aurora said. I looked up at her.“It’s not easy losing a child,” I said, playing with her fingers. She nods her head.“Where am I?” I asked.“You are dead; we are all dead,” she said. I wonder how Aurelian is doing; he’d be devastated.“Yes, he is devastated. Gone insane, blames and cries every day, drinks nonstop while screaming your name; he is not handling your death well compared to the other two times,” she said. I sighed.“Well, he caused this to happen,” I said, playing with her cheeks next.“Well, you are not wrong; I can’t tell what is wrong with him or what makes him do what he does; I can’t tell what is goin
Estelle POVI walked down the hallway of the palace, ignoring the guards staring at me in shock and fear. I smirked, my heels clicking on the floor. It’s been a beautiful and long four years for me. Watching Rose grow up has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I trained endlessly and had fun with my family every night after training. Surrounded by my family, my loved ones had been amazing, and I would do anything to have them back. Leaving all of them knowing I wouldn’t see them again for the longest of times was hard. Rose and mom wouldn’t stop crying, and I also cried, but as Aurora said, my soul was disturbed because I added an extra 2 weeks and my body couldn’t take it, so here I am, in the palace in my full glory.I am more connected to my powers and wolf, a better warrior; my return is not to sit and look pretty but to get my revenge, and this is the only place I can start from. I brushed my hair to the back, opening the study room, and they were all here. Aurelian
Estelle POV I sat on the bed, looking at Aurelian. He has been sleeping for over 14 hours. Sometimes he will cry in his sleep, murmuring my name, then I hug him, brushing his hair, and then he sleeps back. I cleaned the entire room and washed some clothes that were not that dirty. I also cleaned him up, changed his clothes, changed the sheets, and arranged the bed. Thank the moon goddess of my powers, because no way would I have done this with my slight weight. Aurelian is weighing more than 100 kilogrammes, which I am sure of. I placed the tray on the floor and sat on the bed. He has been sleeping for so long.“Aurelian,” I called, shaking him slowly. He didn’t turn or make any sound. I sighed. How do I wake him up? He needs to eat. I am sure the only thing in his stomach is alcohol.“Aurelian!” I yelled, but there were still no replies. I breathe out.“Do it the hard way, then,” I said, dumping water on him. He shook, but was still asleep. I sighed. This is so hard. I took his fing
Estelle POV“Wow,” Maven said as her mouth opened. I just finished explaining what happened, and I don’t blame them for being shocked.“Can you explain how you turned out to be the night hunter?” Felix asked. “Yes, so my pack was attacked by a man in the academy. He brought a lot of rogues and they killed everyone. I guess they came for me; they wanted me, but I escaped, falling down from a cliff. It was hard for a 13-year-old to see her parents’ dead bodies, her pack all dead, both old and young. I woke up in another pack; an alpha had found me, and he gave me Red because I was too scared to say my name,” I said, remembering that day. Falling down the cliff, I thought I would die, so waking up and seeing strange faces terrified me to the core.“For a few years, I was just a teen pack member going to high school. I was in love with the beta son, and we were so sure we would be mates, but he found his mate, didn’t tell me, and humiliated me in school, so I had an outburst, killing the
Estelle POVWe were back in the room, and Aurelian was not ready to sleep. We were lying down on the bed, and I faced the ceiling while he looked at me. All this time, I blamed him for what happened; I didn’t know he was just as innocent as me. I remembered when I rejected him. How angry and frustrated he must have been, but he didn’t know how to explain to me he was there. I blinked as Aurelian cleaned up the tears falling down the side of my eye.“Are you okay?” he asked worriedly. I looked at him as he looked all over me, wondering why I was crying, but I moved closer to him, burying my face in his chest as I cried out.“I’m sorry, Aurelian,” I cried. He wrapped his arms around me. He has been through so much suffering in silence; he must have thought I hated him; he must have thought he was cursed; he must have thought he doesn’t deserve a mate or pup. “Please don’t cry, Estelle,” he said. I looked up at him, and he looked hurt I was crying. I sniffed, placing my hand on his chee
Estelle POVAurelian and I walked down the field hand in hand. We didn’t exchange any words, but it was calm outside. The guards stared at me in horror, but I didn’t mind their stare; they would get used to it.“I have never seen your wolf,” Aurelian said. I smiled.“Yes, I was hiding it,” I replied. He looked down at me.“Why?” he asked.“She differs from most wolves,” I said. He hummed.“How different?” he asked.“Well, she is bigger than most alphas; she is pure white with red spots,” I said. My wolf is pretty; her eyes are bright blue with white fur and red spots blending with the white; she is unique like me.“Well, she sounds beautiful. I want to see her,” he said. I smiled.“How about we have a run in the woods?” I asked.“That would be nice,” he said, dragging me to the opposite side. I smiled, running with him.“Wow!” I yelled, surprised, as he carried me from the ground, placing me on his back. I smiled, holding him tight as he ran into the woods. The breeze blew in our face
Estelle POVWe walked back to the palace, hand in hand. We were in the evening, and we spent hours in the pond. We swam, shifted to our wolves, and ran around hunting together. It turns out my wolf was bigger than most wolves because I am not completely a wolf; I am part Lycan, and it shows in my wolf. Aurelian is bigger than me; it is very obvious, but he said my wolf and Maven wolf are around the same size, and if I got to her age, it would be bigger. What I heard about Lycans wolf is how I met Aurelian’s wolf. Aurelian’s wolf is huge and has muscles everywhere. His canine is fat and sharp, and they are very long. The wolf is pure black and honestly scary-looking. If I wasn’t his mate, I would piss myself, the way he was towering over me, huffing in my ears, and those jaws would snap me in half. He looked so scary, but he is my mate, so yes, I saw his soft side. He is a big baby, trying to catch me, holding my tail in between his mighty jaws, licking my face with his warm, long ton
Estelle POVI looked at Aurelian, and he has been in his thoughts for two days now. He doesn’t say much; he’s always lost in thoughts, and I know it’s because of his brother. I tried to talk to him, but he didn’t want to talk about it, and for two days, the tension has been high. I can’t take it anymore.“Aurelian,” I called, entering the room. He looked up from the bed.“Huh?” he asked. “We have to talk,” I said. He gave me attention, sitting up.“What happened?” he asked, clueless. I sighed, putting my hand on my waist. “We have a situation at hand, Aurelian; you can’t just be here thinking and shutting everyone out,” I said. He gave me a long look. “I was mourning,” he said. I looked at him, confused.“Who died?” I asked.“My brother,” he said, breathing out. I looked at him, speechless.“Aurelian,” I called. He smiled.“I felt guilty; I blamed myself for accusing him like the world did and didn’t listen, but I realised what happened shouldn’t be my fault; he chose that part; he
