Chapter 78Damon"My King." I heard a feminine voice call. Despite being in the same room with the person, I was far away. My mind was in the woods. For weeks, I haven't been myself. As much as I didn't want to admit it since Aurora left, I've lost my spark. I've lost the spark of happiness in me. After the death of Ivy, Aurora was the only woman to revive that spark…but now, it was gone. Nothing made sense anymore. My demons grew in thousands, haunting me day and night. My nightmares were slowly becoming a reality that I couldn't escape. My illness got worse. Dax, Devin, and Ivy were the only people I saw…but this time, I saw Aurora. It was strange because the rest of them were dead, but Aurora wasn't. I was left in a state of confusion. I thought I only saw them because I loved them dearly, but what was it about Aurora? Why was she appearing to me? Why do I keep speaking to her imaginary figure? My recent behaviour caused unrest in Jasper. He was afraid that I would be
Chapter 79Aurora I woke up to the melodious song of the birds. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I yawned tiredly, stretching my body. The room was still dark as the sun hadn't risen yet. "Too early," I groaned lazily. I took off the duvet that wrapped my body, proceeding to stand before it clicked in me. I didn't sleep in my room last night. Captured by the masterpiece I glanced through, I was glued to the chair. Mated To The Blood Alpha by Oluwaseun Oyogho took over my attention. It didn't take long before my boredom vanished as I kept myself busy with the book. Page after page, yet, I wasn't satisfied. My eyelids became heavy, still, I couldn't close the book. I wanted to fill my head with more spicy chapters. Defeated by sleep, I placed the book on my chest, leaning on the couch. But here I was inside my room, on top of my bed. I didn't have a history of sleepwalking, except if someone was…A small smile played on my lips as my cheeks flushed in embarrassment. It had to be Dax
Chapter 80Warning, self-harm! AuroraI didn't spare any more time listening to them as I grabbed the cleaning equipment, and raced to the next available window. That was it. My morning was ruined. With tears pouring down my eyes, I put on the gloves and proceeded to clean the windows. The excitement I felt was dead now. The song and chirping of the birds that serenaded me meant nothing to me again. Dax's words were like a sharp knife that stabbed my heart, reopening a healing wound. His words were like salt that rubbed an open injury.It stung me, filling me with searing pain as I remembered my past. Transferring all the aggression on the windows, I scrubbed them with all my might, crying profusely.By the time I got to the brothers' window, I wiped my tears and cleaned my face with the dew that dropped on my palm. Their window was tinted in such a way that it reflected the image of the things outside only. No one would be able to see them from the inside. I couldn't risk b
Chapter 81Aurora"Are you alright, Aurora?" He asked, his voice laced with concern as his hazel eyes didn't leave my silver ones. Panic overtook me as my eyes were glued to my arm.The speed at which it healed was a miracle. I could barely see the open wound as the tissues began to fuse. As if that wasn't enough, a strange fuel filled me, erasing every trace of weakness in my body. I could feel my feet grow stronger. Surprise filled me as I lifted my eyes to meet Dax's worried ones. How could this be possible? Was Dax my mate? A scuff rolled off my throat at the thought. Maybe my emotions were starting to get the best of me. Dax could never be my mate. "Aurora?" He called again, this time louder as he shook me gently. "I'm fine," I said, snatching my eyes from his compelling ones. Relief flushed through his face. "You fucking scared me. I was in the middle of a workout and…" The rest of his words fell on deaf ears as my eyes trailed from the back of his ear to his neck.
Chapter 82AuroraI hummed a song as I got into the bathroom. I took off the robe that Devin gave me last night, untying the ropes around my waist before hanging it on a hook that sat on the wall. The bathroom wasn't spacious, but it could contain up to three adults. I turned on the shower, detecting the temperature of the water and adjusting it until I was satisfied. "A warm bath would do." I took off the shower cap covering my head, allowing my wavy hair to fall all over my shoulders.Gently, I placed the shower cap against the hook that had my robes. "It's your perfect size." A smile flashed on my face as Dax's words crossed my mind. Since I didn't bring my clothes to the house, Devin pulled the robe out of an old wardrobe. According to him, it belonged to the old man's wife who gave them the cottage. It took a long time for me to believe that a woman that old owned most of the outfits I wore as they glued to my body perfectly until I saw her picture. She must have a grea
Chapter 83AuroraI spent the rest of the day in my room avoiding physical contact with the brothers. Filled with mortification, I locked my door, burying myself in the books I had sneaked earlier into my room from Devin's library. Despite trying hard to erase the memory from my head, it remained there, taunting me. My mind started to wander from the book, making me lose concentration. All that was stuck in my head was the bathroom moment with the brothers. It was like a scene that replayed in my head countless times. "Ahh!" I screamed in frustration, pulling my hair. How could I be the cause of my problem?! Why did I touch the control button?! If only I steered clear of the control button, I wouldn't be filled with embarrassment. Devin and Dax's faces flashed across my mind again, making me whimper in self-pity. How was I going to face them? Considering that I was a shy type, I could die of shame. I didn't mind staying in my room for days. As long as we didn't have physi
Chapter 84Aurora"I've found her, Dax," Devin announced before pinning his hazel eyes on embarrassed ones. My grip tightened on the plate of food as I shuddered under his intense stare. Blocking the path that I was about to take, I remained in a spot, waiting for him to leave the door. "Why didn't you answer us when we called you? You scared us. We thought something happened to you," he said. From his facial expression, I could decode that he was not pleased with my silence. I heaved a sigh as I tried to think of an excuse. "I was…sleeping."His brows creased as he leaned closer to me. "I've known you for almost a month and you don't sleep by this time," he said in a gruff tone. Despite how unfriendly and rough his voice was, it filled me with goosebumps.I shifted uncomfortably as his presence seemed to affect me, making me unable to think well. "Well, I decided to sleep," I said, smiling nervously. Silence ensued between us as we waited for Dax. My heart began to pound again
Chapter 85AuroraI didn't know how long I slept, but when my eyes fluttered open, the room was dark. Night had fallen and the house became quiet. Devin and Dax were probably asleep. I got up from the bed to close the curtains to avoid feeling paranoid. Leaving the curtains open at night while I slept made me feel someone was watching me from the window. It gives me a dreaded feeling and I end up having nightmares. I was about to go back to bed when I noticed a figure in the dark, sitting quietly in the corner of my room. Fear gripped me, freezing me to a spot. I strained my eyes to get a glimpse of the stalker in my room, but the image was bleak. I couldn't use my wolf vision as she was asleep. It didn't take long before my body began to shiver and my heart pounded hard against my ribs. "Hello!" I called, my voice came out shaky, but that was the least of my concerns. My breath became harsh as cold ran down my spine at the person's silence. I could swear there was someth

Chapter 138Bonus Chapter (Author's Pov)My mind reflected on the crazy event that happened a couple of weeks ago.It took a week before I could recover from the trauma. Thanks to the triplets, care, and support. At the end of everything, there was good news.Ray's burnt body was found, and he was successfully buried in the cemetery under my instruction.But Rosa's body had not been found. Reports came that she was burnt beyond recognition as the building collapsed, trapping her in it. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but the words of affirmation from my mates made me strong. As long as they were alive, nothing would hurt me anymore.“Enough of the tragic event, Aurora. Enjoy the moment with your mates,” Rue encouraged while I wasted no time, burying the thoughts. My eyes danced around the plethora of food that sat in the basket, waiting to be devoured. A giggle slipped from my mouth as my stomach growled. Not because I was hungry, but because I was excited to eat the fo
Chapter 137Aurora The sound of footsteps broke the eerie silence that hung in the room. The atmosphere shifted, and a deadly aura swept through my nose, signifying danger. I needed no soothsayer to inform me that my killer was near. But despite the darkness, I could sense a bit of familiarity in the strange figure that approached me. Judging from the scent, I could swear that I knew the person. Who could it be? Dim light flooded the room, and the strange figure came into view at once. My eyes bulged, and my jaws dropped in shock. My heartbeat accelerated at an unimaginable pace, and my face washed blank with confusion. “Ro…Rosa?” I stammered when I found my voice, pinning her with a look to be sure she was the one. “In the flesh, love.”I watched in horror as Rosa strode to where I was tied up before letting out hysterical laughter. Fear crawled over my body, prickling my skin. My blood almost ran cold the moment her smiles turned into an angry, sinister look. How could
Chapter 136Aurora “Can you reduce the AC a bit? I'm feeling a little cold,” I told the driver, rubbing my palms together to generate heat as I could feel goosebumps erupting from my skin. Once the air conditioning was reduced, I rested my head on the window, enjoying the smooth ride while my mind wandered back and forth to my parents' pack. I missed them. I wish I wouldn't have to leave them for a day. But I had to visit my mates as I have already spent more than the days I negotiated. I twirled my fingers around my hair idly as boredom accompanied me. A smile found its way to my lips as the events of the previous days flashed in my memory. I had a swell time with my parents and Eve. My dad and I went hunting and camping in the woods for three days after the party.I missed the experience. He taught me how to survive by myself for years in case of danger. I learnt how to make fire with dry sticks and sharp rocks in case there wasn't any provision for lighters and matchstic
Chapter 135Aurora “Mum,” I mouthed as I was unable to speak. It was as if my voice was seized by an invisible force. Tears ran freely down my eyes as I was blasted by my emotions. It was hard to control, I couldn't help but succumb to it. More tears poured from my eyes like flood the moment reality clicked in me. Mum.I haven't said that word in years. All I knew was pain, suffering a little moment of love before I was hit by abandonment. My throat was blocked, and my voice was cracked. My vision was blurry. Without moving an inch, I stood rooted to a spot, admiring my mother with teary eyes. Goddess, I missed her. She hadn't aged a bit. It was like her beauty doubled over the years, but beneath her perfect looking face were dark circles and eye bags lodged under her eyes. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that she had been crying during one of those sleepless nights. My grip tightened around the tiny strap of my bag as I tried to wipe my tears. Old memories crashed u
Chapter 134Aurora “What?” My jaws dropped in disbelief as I shot him a doubtful look, urging him to repeat what he just said.My heart wouldn't stop racing in excitement and anticipation as bits of his words echoed in my head. Maybe I was assuming things. He was still my master and he wouldn't make a grave mistake of releasing me since he wasn't sure if I would take it as an opportunity to flee. “What did you say?” I repeated as anxiety got the best of me. My heart wouldn't stop pounding as impatience ate me up from within. Could he just spill it already?!“I said you shall see your parents tomorrow and you are free to do whatever you wish as from now on without restrictions because you are my mate and I accept you…” I didn't let him finish the words on his lips before throwing myself on him. My joy knew no bounds, and my heart was swollen with happiness. My arms were wrapped around him, and my head dropped to his neck, inhaling his sweet scent before tugging him closer for
Chapter 133Damon“It's not a problem, I'm healing already.” I forced a smile, trying to convince her that I was alright when I felt the opposite. My jaws tightened as the burning from the hot coffee went straight to my brain, causing my hand to sting painfully. She frowned in displeasure before pain flashed before her eyes. She knew I was lying. She could feel part of my pain, thanks to mate bond. I followed her exhausted eyes that trailed from the spilled and broken cups and plates to the cabinet. A weary sigh rolled off from her lips as she hissed in annoyance. I was going to make her repeat breakfast the second time. I was a jerk, and my presence screwed things up. “It's not a problem, I can clean the kitchen and fix a quick breakfast in the blink of an eye. You wouldn't even notice that anything happened,” I flashed a nervous smile, hoping to impress her, but the frown on her face deepened, expressing her anger for wasting her effort. Maybe if I had stayed behind, this
Chapter 132DamonWith expectations and remorse heavy in my heart, I knocked the door before me gently. As expected, I was met with no response. I let out a sigh as my face dropped in sadness. It was starting to get frustrating, but I wouldn't give up, not after all I caused as a result of impatience and rash decisions. Sometimes, I wish I was calm and calculative, like Devin.But patience wasn't my thing. I killed my sons and lost my mate's affection. She treats me like a piece of furniture, ignoring me as if I never existed.It hurts so badly knowing she was happy without me. Her silence was enough to drive me insane.It was then I realized how ill I treated her all this while. I knew I was a bad mate, and I deserve more. She shouldn't be with me. She should be with my brothers, who made her happy and full of life. For weeks, the three of them were as thick as thieves. They hardly go anywhere without each other. I admired them.Despite playing tough, I wanted Aurora for m
Chapter 131Unknown Ray's excitement tripled as his plans were going smoothly without any interruptions.Seems getting rid of Rosa was a piece of cake. He should have done that a long time ago.He flashed a smile at her, revealing his ugly dentition while collecting the glass cups. “Would you play us a song, something light, a happy song while I pour us a drink,” he requested politely. Rosa fought back the urge to roll her eyes at his pretense. “Sure,” she nodded, dashing to the nightstand where her phone laid.She backed him as she surfed through her phone to get a suitable song. Swinging into action before Rosa got a clue, his fingers disappeared tactfully into his pocket. They reappeared with a piece of paper between them. Ray peeked at Rosa from the corner of his eyes to monitor her movement and body language. His heart wouldn't stop hammering against his ribs as tension got the best of him. Satisfied that she was glued to her phone, oblivious of his intentions, he quiet
