“How? Are you even on planet Earth? How the hell could you not know the famous Ethan Thompson of the Phoenix pack? The CEO of Thompson enterprise. How the hell could you not know Jackson’s uncle? Heather yelled, and it was at that moment I let go of whatever was stuck in my mouth dropping the fork on the plate.

“Jackson’s uncle?” I muttered, and Heather nodded her head,

“That man is also my mate, Heather. I didn’t want to believe it at first because I was too hurt but after I met him for a second time outside the wedding hall, I knew he was,”

I felt her pull my arm as she instantly rushed towards me, “You have to tell me everything he said to you Aurora. And, if he’s your mate, what the hell are you still doing here? Jackson isn’t the only one who gets to be blessed with a fated mate, girl, too deserves more than he does.” Heather uttered, but I shook my head in negation.

“This doesn’t look like a blessing to me Heather because it's Jackson I always wanted. He’s the one I love and not my fated mate and I’m not sure I can accept this man as my mate. I don’t care about any of that because I just want it to be Jackson. It ought to be called a blessing when it's someone you love and willing to spend the rest of your life with right?” I sniffled as I spoke because I could feel my pain and the wound fresh in my heart.

A tear slid down my eyes when I couldn’t control the thought that Jackson got married yesterday

“And when that man doesn’t want you?” Heather finally broke her silence and I cocked my head towards her. Why was she being so harsh?

“I need you to snap out of this crazy obsession Aurora because whether you like it or not, nothing’s going to change except you get your ass up and create a life for yourself that’s going to make Jackson regret leaving you for that lowlife. Now, that’s the real revenge, that’s how to make him pay for fooling and hurting you all these years. You don’t keep sitting here and hurting yourself, Aurora, you don’t.”

There was so much sense in everything she said, but right now, I was the one hurt and I didn’t know how to control this feeling,

“Whenever you’re ready to snap out of all of this and realize that Jackson should be dead to you, you know where to find me.” She rose to her feet and began to walk away while I stared at her till she was out of my sight. I covered my face with my palm and I couldn’t help the tears that ran down. Why me? After everything I’ve been through, at least a good life would be enough.

I leaned back on the couch and began to think about everything Heather had just said to me. Ethan Thompson. I had no idea who he was and he had no idea who I was and yet he was willing to help me. My mind suddenly drifted to the card he had earlier given to me, but I shook my head in negation, telling myself that there had to be another way- another way to make Jackson mine or to make him pay.

NEXT DAY

ALPHA ETHAN

“That’s going to be the last papers for the day Derek, inform my secretary that other files that need to be signed should wait till next week.” I heaved deeply once I was done and picked up my phone from the table beside me. Once again, there was no call or text from her. It’s been just a day, but I can’t get the thought of her out of my mind.

Everything about that night still plays vividly in my head, and I can hear her sweet moans playing in my head over and over again. She had thought I was Jackson, and she called his name severally that night,

“Is something wrong?” Derek questioned, but I shook my head in negation.

“How’s she?” I questioned and he instantly knew who I was talking about,

“For now, there’s no issue with Ms. Aurora, but I don’t think she’s going to change her mind just like you expected.”

I heaved deeply. It did bother me whether she would change her mind and accept my offer. This was something that I couldn’t predict this time. She was the only lady that I couldn’t predict and maybe that was what I loved about her the first day I saw her. Her boldness had made me pick interest in her too,

“It’s only been a day Derek, so we can’t tell if she’ll change her mind or not. Right now, the only thing I can do is hope that she does. This has to work no matter what, it has to.” This was the first thing that I wanted so desperately even though I didn’t know why yet. She drives me insane and I’m unable to think properly. It had to be the mate bond right?

“Alright sir, I’ll get the word to your secretary right away,” Derek uttered and as he turned to walk away, I called him back,

“What about Jackson?”

“The moon shadow pack moved a step forward after the marriage. The Red Crystal pack is well known for their massive wealth and years ago, they offered a helping hand to Jackson’s pack.” Derek uttered, but I cut him short,

“How long have they been together?”

I was curious to know because I could see so much pain in her eyes that night.

“From what I heard at the wedding, I think it's five years, but a few days ago, alpha Jackson found his fated mate and he broke off the relationship. I’m very certain he rejected her because of his pack. Clara’s pack has so much to offer after all. And more importantly, he’s fulfilled the condition to become the manager just like you said.”

Again, I heaved deeply,

“I need a little fresh air, Derek, a little ride would do. Meet me outside in 5 minutes.” I instructed and rose to my feet. Jackson rejecting Aurora made me meet her and so maybe I had to be a little thankful to him for that.

I walked out and shut the door behind me, tucking my hand into my pocket till I got out of the company. I brought my phone out from my pocket and the first sight I beheld was a video on the internet. A video of Aurora at Jackson’s wedding, and there were so many bad things written down in the comment section.

“What the hell!” I clutched my finger into fists as I played the video and a lot of thought ran through my mind as I contemplated about the things I would do to whoever dared to post this on the internet. I was about to step into the car when I heard Derek’s voice as he was rushing to me,

“Alpha! Alpha! You need to see this…”

“I have Derek. Get into the damn car and let’s get out of here.”

    AURORA POV****I had not seen Heather since I woke up and left for work, and I knew she was still so mad at me. I wasn’t ready to do whatever she wanted me to. I wasn’t ready for another mate when I was still very much in love with Jackson. it might have been easy for him to let go of me and everything we shared for five years, but it wasn’t the same for me. It wasn’t that easy at all.I knew deep down that I would run into his arms the moment he returned to his senses, and I felt like I was waiting for a miracle to happen from nowhere.“We’re here.” The cab driver uttered immediately he halted the car and I instantly snapped out of my thoughts.“Oh, thank you,” I responded and stepped out of the car. I dipped my hand into my pocket and brought out 50 dollars, then I handed it over the him. Once the cab was gone, I turned around to face the company.Now that I was thinking about it, my mate owns the company I had always dreamt of working in as a kid. I chuckled to myself, a lot of dou

    ALPHA ETHAN;“Prepare everything for Jackson to become the manager immediately. He’s done his part so I think I should do mine.” I broke the silence and told Derek, and I could see the surprise look on his face as I uttered this,“Are you really going to give him this? You know what his plans are and most importantly, you know what he did to Aurora just to get what he wanted.”“I know, Derek, and that is why he needs to be in that position. Most importantly I can’t go back on my words. That isn’t who I am. Whatever Jackson did to fulfill the condition is none of my business.” I said that, but did I really mean it? Deep down, I cared so much about what he did, but I didn’t want to admit it yet, even to myself. My thoughts suddenly drifted to those videos online and then I was about to say something before I heard Derek’s voice,“A message just came in and they found who uploaded those videos online.” Derek uttered,“Who?” I responded almost immediately,“A Miss Amelia Moore…” He paused

    AURORAI pushed him away and rose to my feet in a hurry, “What the hell are you doing?” He chuckled, and then rubbed his lower lips with his thump, “Don’t you get it? I like you, Aurora, I have always liked you so fucking much, and I think this is just the perfect opportunity to get exactly what I want.”“What?”He continued, “I can help you. I can help you keep your job. You wouldn’t get fired if you give me what I want. This is desperate times, and desperate times call for desperate measures, don’t you agree?” His words disgusted me and I suddenly widened my eyes when he began to take menacing steps toward me,“Please done! Don’t do this, I beg you. I don’t want this.” I responded with a shaky voice, but when my back got to the wall, he let out a smile, and finally got to me,“You have no idea how crazy you fucking make me go. All I do is stare at your ass, your boobs, your lips, every damn part of your body Aurora, and now that the opportunity is here, now that Jackson Brandon du

    ETHAN"She must be so stressed out,” Heather whispered as we both stared at Aurora peacefully asleep on my shoulder. She had a smile on her face and it made me wonder what dreamland she was in. I could feel her hot peaceful breath fan my neck,“I just hope she’s okay.” “the Aurora I know is strong and she’ll get past all of this. I’m just scared, that’s all.” Heather said and went silent for a few seconds, I could see tears at the brim of her eyes,“But this, I don’t think she can do this on her own. It’s just too much for her.”“That's why she has you by her side, Heather, I can see how deeply you love her.”“No. That's why she has you. I know you’ll treat her well and you’ll help her become stronger than she is right now.”Heather’s words made me arch my brows in confusion“Are you going somewhere soon?”“no, I...”The car suddenly halted and the door was opened and I heard Derek’s voice, “we’re here sir.” Heather stepped out of the car first, and Derek came to my side,“I’ll tak

Tell me what I have to do to be better than her.” “Nothing, absolutely nothing, Aurora. You were never meant for me in the beginning. Clara here has what it takes to be my Luna when I become alpha fully. I’m sorry, but it’s over between us,“Tell me you never loved me in these five years, Jackson. tell me you never felt anything for me at all and everything you said to me was all lies and…”“HEY! Wake up Aurora, it’s just a dream”A strong hand held my arm and I opened my eyes widely. I had no idea tears had already begun streaming down my face,“Are you alright? It was just a dream.” Ethan said, but I shook my head in negation,“No, it wasn’t. I did lose him and no matter how much I pray for this to be a dream, it just isn’t going to be one. I still can’t believe that five years of my life were all built on lies with him.” I responded, sh

    NEXTDAY: ALPHA ETHAN;I was scanning through the files in my study while Derek was standing behind me. This was about Heather as I knew something was wrong,“You’ll take care of her right?” I recalled Heather's words to me yesterday and I heaved deeply. She had been acting like she was leaving for somewhere far away without Aurora's knowledge or maybe something else was wrong.“Her parents abandoned her when she was just a baby?”“Yes, alpha. It seems Heather never went to college after she struggled through high school with Aurora. They have been together for years after Aurora lost her parents and was taken to an orphanage.”I heaved deeply and then went over to the next papers,“Is this her medical report?” Derek nodded his head when I asked, and as I scanned through it, I wrecked my fingers into my head, “Shit! How long has it been? Does Aurora know?” I questioned, raising my head to stare at Derek so I could get a response,“About a year or two now. I don’t think Aurora knows

    AURORA:I’ve never been this nervous before. I could feel my heart thumping so hard, so fast, and out of my control. It felt as if their eyes or gaze would kill me. I had almost wished for the ground to open up and swallow me when the car halted right in front of the building and I couldn’t get my thoughts straight until I felt his hand in mine,“Are you ready?” I nodded my head and then stepped out of the car as soon as the door was opened. As we both began walking together, I heard his voice again “Take a deep breath aurora, no one’s going to hurt you.” We got to the entrance and I was shocked at the kind of people present at the occasion. Maybe for a moment, I had forgotten the man my hands were intertwined with. I had forgotten it was Ethan Thompson standing next to me.“Are you ready to take the spotlight?” He questioned, and just before I could give a response, I cocked my head towards my left and my gaze met with that of Jackson. for a moment, I was lost staring at his eyes.

    AURORA:"What took you so long? Are you alright?" Ethan questioned when I got back to our table,"Did you cry?" I shook my head in negation and took my seat next to him, "No, I didn't cry. I just had something in my eyes and I had to rinse it off."He nodded his head, As I took my seat, I took only a few seconds to stare at Jackson and took my gaze away when I saw him staring back at me."Let's welcome Mr Jackson Brandon to the stage, the new manager of Thompson cooperation."Everyone clapped their hands as Jackson rose to his feet, but I didn't. I tried as hard as possible not to stare at him with a lot running through my mind. How come Jackson never told me about his family? He never told me that he had a very influential uncle and that he was the soon-to-be manager of the Thompson group of companies.""Are you ready? It's almost time, Aurora." Ethan's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I wondered what he meant by that,"Ready for what?""For this…""Let's welcome Ms Aurora

    Weeks laterAURORA'S POVThe hostility I had expected was found lacking. I had thought that many of the workers would hate me but it seemed that little by little they were getting used to the idea of me in the office.Having Jackson just opposite my office was honestly really crazy. Most times, I caught him staring at me, with anger and longing in his eyes.He had made it clear that he hated the fact that I had a higher position than him in the office.Knowing Jackson, I was not surprised that his male ego was bruised. After all, he had always been like that, everything was always about me.Not only was he prejudiced about that, but he had also made it his life mission for some reason to get me back.I came to the for a few days to see flowers, chocolates, plates, and little gifts on my table, and I knew immediately that they were from Jackson.One thing I did not want to find out about was that. I could not let that happen, I had to stop Jackson one way or the other.Dropping my bag

    CLARA'S POVOver the years, I had perfected restraining myself and burying my emotions.Mummy had always told me that a lady should not show emotions. Honestly, I think that because she was incapable of showing it having emotions, she thought it was normal.Jackson's words never left me; I could have dismissed them as drunken words, but deep down, I knew that he meant every word he said to me last night.There was no way that I was going to let it go; he had said those things to me, his mate, because of that dreadful bitch.“Did you complete the job?”I said into the receiver.“I did exactly what you asked me to but someone got in the way and saved her”The hitman that I had hired to kill Aurora replied “What?! Are you trying to tell me that she is alive?”“I am sorry ma'am”“You are so fucking stupid, I gave you one simple task, one little task and you could not carry it out.

What I loved most about it was the name tag on my door.As soon as I sat down, a knock resounded in my office.“Come in”I said as Pearl, my secretary brought my daily cup of coffee whilst balancing some files on her other hand.“Good morning, Mr Jackson.

    AURORA'S POVSaying I felt jitters was an understatement. I had stalled resuming my position in the company with the excuse of after the marriage and I knew that there was no excuse I could give again.I was married to the CEO of Thompson Incorporations, and I was meant to be the COO. To say that I felt very unworthy was an understatement. Knowing how people were, I was aware that I would be gossiped about and called names, like being a gold digger, a slut, and the like.I took deep breaths as I stared into the fog-covered mirror, running my hands through my wet hair; I sighed.No matter what, I was worthy of this position. Over the years, I had worked my ass off to attain my qualifications, and even today, a fortune only smiled at me because I was married to Ethan. At the end of it all, he was my mate, and he felt I was worthy, and that was all that mattered.I picked up the blow dryer and started drying my hair, still unable to shake off the nerves that were growing and increasing

We need to talk”Clara said in a stiff voice and walked away.I had only heard that voice once, and that was when Clara was planning to annihilate a shop attendant who spilled wine on her limited-edition white gown.“Fuck! Why did I drink so much”I mumbled as I grabbed my head between my handsPopping the pills, I swallowed it down with some water, immediately feeling a little bit of relief.I hopped into the shower and as I washed my face I remembered all my words to Clara last night“Fuck!”I groaned.The soap I had applied to my face entered into my eye.“Ow, ow, fuck!!!”I grimaced, trying to wash it off, the sudden movement had me spiraling to the floor and I hit my face on the tub “Argh”I groaned.Why was this morning so bad?
