Estelle POVIt’s been a few days since everything and well Aurelian is still not awake. Zira said he is making progress and should be awake soon and I have been patiently waiting for him to open his gray eyes. I have spent the days sleeping, staying by his side, just practically doing nothing. I haven’t been that worried since Zira assured me and I can see he is improving. I sighed, putting on my shorts in the closet then I went back to the room. Of course there is no way he will keep staying in the ward, we had him move here. I lay down beside him, covering our body with the blanket. It's been raining these days.“Goodnight Aurelian,” I mumbled, kissing his cheeks. Then I lay down, closing my eyes. This has been a daily occurence, wish him good morning and good night, sleeping my clutching to his arm. I just hope one day he will reply to my greetings and cuddle me to sleep. Thunder struck heavily while I drifted off to sleep. I don’t know how deep I have slept but I felt a kiss on my

Estelle POVWe were walking down the hallway silently and I wondered why we were walking we can teleport.“Can we teleport?” I asked as we walked out.“We can’t teleport inside the dungeon. It is enchanted,” Felix said and I nod my head in understanding. We walked to the dungeon silently, Aurelian holding my hand. I know he was dying with curiosity, he wanted to know what was happening. I don’t want anyone to see this side of me, I can be pretty heartless if I want to. My first kill was terrible, that day Bryan and Natalie had made me angry, I took it out on the rogue and I felt better after watching life slip away from his eyes. That day I knew I was a monster, I killed without feeling any remorse, slayed him to death. That is why Aurelian wanted my head, I didn’t just kill the rogues, I killed them in a gruesome way, tearing them to pieces. I was smart and discreet, finding my way to the academy without them knowing, freeing those rogues with all the security and killing them.
Estelle POVIt was the next day and I haven’t seen Aurelian much and I don’t know why. Is he avoiding me for what I did to Adam? Adam totally deserved it. It was his mistake to mess with him. I only got my revenge, not like I killed him. Honestly, I don’t care if Aurelian is angry, if the opportunity comes I would do it again without looking back. I got to the study, and he was there with some men talking.“Please, excuse us,” I said. They look at Aurelian like they were asking for permission and he signaled them to leave. I sighed, walking to him.“Are you avoiding me, Aurelian?” I asked. He shook his head no.“I feel you are,” I snapped, pissed.“Why do you feel I am angry with you?” he asked.“You have been ignoring me since yesterday, is it because of what I did to Bryan? Is that why you are ignoring me?” I asked. He sighed.“I am not ignoring you Estelle, I am just trying to save us from dying,” he said. I shook my head at him.“If it’s because of Adam I am not sorry, I would do i
Estelle POVWe walked back to the pack house, and I was all smiles. He had given me lots of gifts—shoes, bags, and jewelry. There were so many, and I honestly don't know what I will do with them. Maybe if we survive this smoke, I can finally be that lady I wanted. Make friends outside my family and sit with important women and men. Be that classy, expensive lady I always envisioned myself to be when I was red. We entered the quarters, and the whole place was dark.“Why is it so dark?” I asked. The whole place was pitch black, but I could see the shadows. I was about to mention the shadows, but the whole place lit up.“Surprise!!” they yelled, and I flinched, hiding my face in an Aurelian shirt. Aurelian chuckled, and the birthday song started. I turned around, smiling softly as they all sang loudly. It was just Maven, Felix, Bryan, the pups, Adrain, and Rodney.“Happy birthday to you!” they sang, whistling and clapping loudly. I smiled, my eyes watering.“Blow your candle and make a w
Estelle POV“So, what do you want to talk about?” I asked. She looked at me, and she cleared her throat.“You know, I always hated Aurora. I hate hearing her name or anything concerning her,” she said.“Okay,” I said, dragging the y. I think it’s obvious; she passed on the hate to me. If she hated me this much, just how much did she hate Aurora?“I won’t lie; yes, I contributed to her death the second time,” she said. I looked at her. Should I be surprised? Or shock? Or normal, because I knew she was capable of it? “I poisoned her slowly; I wanted her dead. She was weak and vulnerable, and she couldn’t do anything to save herself. I was mad. Aurelian always had to protect her, keep her from harm, and always run to her rescue, even with the slightest headache. She didn’t need to trouble him that way; she didn’t need him to make him run at any discomfort she felt; she was highly pathetic, and her presence irritated me to no end,” she said.“One day, Aurelian and I talked, and he told m
Estelle POVI sighed, looking at my bloody hand. I feel sorry she is dead, and I feel even more sorry that Maven is still bent on not feeling any remorse. Honestly, I don’t want to force her to feel remorse; I just wanted her to understand that she was just a woman in love with a man, ready to do anything for him to be safe, even if he has to duel in self-pity. “We bury her tomorrow,” Felix said, and I just slumped in the chair. The party was over; it was just us remaining with Rodney. “Should we contact her husband?” Rodney asked.“I don’t think we should; she was dead to him for a long time,” Maven said.“But I feel he should know, just to confirm she is truly dead and he can completely move on,” Aurelian said. And I agree with him; from what I heard, he loved her. “I will wash up,” I said, standing up and walking out of the dressing room. I sighed. I really don’t like seeing people die; it makes me feel lost. “Estelle,” a voice called, and I turned around, and it was Maven. I w
Estelle POVI breathe out repeatedly, playing with my fingers. It’s been 3 days, and we buried Yasmine the day after she died. I spent the remaining two days decorating the palace. Maven and I kept eyes on the maids and told them what to do, cleaning the palace and the rooms while Aurelian sent messages to his family. They arrive today.“I can smell your nervousness from afar,” Aurelian said, standing beside me.“You notice?” I squeaked out. I covered my mouth, my cheeks hitting up at the high-pitched sound that came out of my lips. Aurelian let out a soft chuckle.“Don’t be nervous, Estelle; they will like you. Breathe out,” he said. I nod my head, breathing out repeatedly. We are standing in front of the palace with Felix, Maven, and Rodney. They will be arriving soon. I just wondered why they were arriving together; I guess it must be their thing.“They are here,” Aurelian said, and I looked up at him. Here? Maven clapped her hands, excited.“Here? I can’t see them,” I said, lookin
