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 86AuroraWaves of pleasure crashed over my body, making me shiver. My mouth was ajar as I drew in sharp breath. My fingers clawed the bed and my body twisted at the torture. My thighs pressed against each other whenever Dax's fingers graved my hypersensitive nipples. "Please," I begged shamelessly. I missed the warmth of his mouth against my nipples. His absence made me feel empty. His withdrawal from my already reddened nipples frustrated me. I didn't want them to hold back. I wanted them to claim me as if they owned me.I wanted them to take full control of my body and bend it to their will. I was ready to surrender myself to them like a sacrifice. Frustrated by his withdrawal, I clasped my hand around Dax's head, pulling his mouth to my nipples."Fuck!" I moaned, biting my lower lips as he teased them, sucking them like a hungry baby. My hands flew to my nipple, playing with it as he sucked on the other one. I gasped in surprise as Devin's length pressed against
