Chapter 14Aurora"Who's there?" I got up with a start, my eyes darting to the door as the knock repeated. My brows furrowed in confusion as I tried to make out who could be at the door. I wasn't expecting anyone. "I'm coming," I half-screamed when the knock sounded again. Reluctantly, I got up from the bed, getting clad in a tank top and biker's shorts. I walked up to the door, throwing it open for the person to come in. My heart somersaulted a thousand times when I was met with Nathalia carrying three shopping bags in her hands. Her eyes dropped to the floor before I could look at her as shame enveloped her. "The Alpha and Luna said I should give you this. Get dressed in thirty minutes because you'll be going shopping. They'll be waiting in the car," she said, her eyes still glued to her feet. I stretched my hand to receive the bags from her with utter shock. Didn't my parents take me shopping last week? And the week before? I already had a closet filled to the brim with
Chapter 15Aurora"Easy, baby." My mother pacified me, rubbing my shoulders tenderly as my whole body was engulfed in pain. I bit my lips hard to stop my screams from coming in waves when my bones cracked ruthlessly. I tried to wear a brave face, but I failed each time I did so.Fuck shifting. "You are almost there," she continued. Her voice sounded so soft but clear, enough to take my pain away from me. But I was certain this pain came from hell as it almost paralyzed me. Unable to feel my aching body, I crashed to the floor, gasping for breath as my hands lay flat on the wet grass. "Poor thing." My father lamented before letting out a deep sigh. "You'll be fine." Tired of keeping the pain to myself, my mouth flew open and my screams came out in multitudes. As expected, my parents rushed to me, pacifying me, but they soon backed off when furs replaced my skin and my feminine body was replaced with that of a huge silver wolf. A smile settled on my face when the pack's tattoo
Chapter 16AuroraA twinge of sadness settled in the depth of my heart as I stared into the open field that sat below my window. Like a magnet, I felt an invisible force of attraction towards the field that made me crave it badly. Bored to death by sitting at home for days, I longed to spend my time in the field, running and enjoying the wind tossing my fur about with my tongue sticking out of my mouth in happiness.I missed the feeling of my paws hitting the wet soil firmly before taking off and covering the length and breadth of the field without getting exhausted. But I could only imagine it happening. I wasn't sure I was going to be allowed in the field again. Dad made sure of it. The day we raced into the night together was the last time we'd ever go into the field. And with each passing day, I was already losing my mind. I longed to be anywhere except my room. Dad made sure he provided all I needed and successfully shut me out of the pack with hefty guards guiding my roo
Chapter 17AuroraThe bitter taste of sadness burned my throat all the way down to my chest as I processed all that Eve had said. The pack was no longer safe? Where I called home was no longer safe for me. I stared at space, unable to move as the weight of the information weakened my muscles. Of all the questions that floated in my head, only one echoed repeatedly in my mind. Why? When I was about to enjoy the best years of my life, why would the pack be under attack? It's not even up to three months already and the whole pack was running Heltersketer because of some unknown enemies? Why was my happiness always short-lived?!I fought the urge to burst into tears before Eve but the harder I blinked, the more my tears threatened to spill. What kind of luck do I have? I just wanted to be happy forever, was that too much to ask?! At once, the gush of anger and hatred rushed through my bones and I felt like vanquishing all of them. "I know this is hard for you to take in. I jus
Chapter 18AuroraI felt my heart flew out of my chest as I processed my Dad's words. I gulped the burning taste of fear down my throat as confusion hit me like a ton of bricks. Cold breeze found its way to my bare body, making me tremble at the shocking news. Unable to move my body as I was paralyzed by fear, I froze on a spot with widened eyes, contemplating what to do. I hated that my response to danger was freezing on the spot. Despite how I tried to react to flight, I found myself freezing instead. Gaining a bit of composure, my shaking hands met my father's body as I caressed him tenderly, breathing rhythmically and watching him copy my steady flow of breath. Calmness washed over him as he heaved a deep sigh. His large gray eyes fluttered open to meet my silver ones and a forced smile played on my lips. "It's okay, daddy, you are fine," I assured, staring deeply into his sad eyes. His brows raised as he studied me. "I thought you were supposed to be in your room. What
Chapter 19DamonMy hand extended to grab Ivy's butt as I tossed in my sleep, shielding my face from the sun ray that seeped through the curtain, creating a magical orange glow in my room. Exhausted as I had Ivy all to myself the previous night until dawn, I burrowed further into the bed, burying my head in her slim neck.A chuckle unconsciously left my throat when I remembered how she sneaked into my room to give me a mind-blowing blowjob. I couldn't get it out of my head. The same way I couldn't get enough of her. The scent of her arousal filled my nose, making me unconsciously licking the mark on her exposed neck. It felt so good, so tempting…it took a lot of self-control to stop my wolf from marking her again. I mumbled a helpless groan when her big butt ground against my dick, clenching my jaws to gather self-control. Despite knowing it was not intentional, I couldn't help the urge to bend her over and fuck her tirelessly just like I did all through the night. A feeling of
Chapter 20AuroraCloaked in fear, I could hear my father's pulse beating in his ears as sweat began to tickle down his forehead despite the air-conditioned room. Horror embalmed his eyes when his phone beeped the second time, indicating a message he received from the Alpha King. He tried to stay as still as possible to avoid drawing attention, but his teeth began to chatter in fear. I restrained myself from walking up to him to see the content of his message as his fear started to spread to me, like a communicable disease. What could the Alpha King ask that put my father in this situation? My father could withstand tough things without blinking. The wound on his chest was evidence…but this strange message triggered his fear, making it resurface and getting the best of him. What does the King want? Despite racking my brain to search for extreme conditions to ask, I couldn't find any that could trigger one's fear factor.Maybe he wanted my father's pack. It was no secret that m
Chapter 21AuroraWeighing the dangerous options one last time, I took a deep breath, calming my raging nerves as I tried to pick the best option. Except both were suicidal. I wiped the dried tears that stained my cheeks with the back of my palm as I proceeded out of my room to make the final arrangements with my dad. Be strong, Aurora. Now wasn't the time to brood. I spent hours in my room drenching my pillow with tears until I had no tears in my eyes. The moment my legs hit the hallway, the atmosphere got tense. My presence made everyone mute as they stared at me with a glimmer of hope in their eyes. It was crazy how the news traveled so fast. A feeling of selfishness coursed through me as I made my way into their midst.Guilt pricked my heart, making me avoid their gazes. I wasn't going to be anyone's saviour to the detriment of myself. And I wouldn't let my emotions make me do something irrational. But when the eyes of an innocent boy accidentally pinned mine, I felt my
