Aurora Pov As soon as the plane had landed, I hand the girls over to Jax. "Take them to the pack house and wait for me there"Jax stared at me confused. "What?. What about you? Where will you be?" Hailing for a cab, I respond hastily. "I have something to sort out" Climbing into the cab, I ordered that driver to take off before Jax could come after me. When out of Jax reach, I ask the driver to pull over to the side of the road. Reaching out for my phone, I put a call through to Gary. "Hey, Aurora" He answers in a chirpy tone. "How are you doing? How are things in LA?"I clenched my fist, trying to suppress the anger I felt over the fact that Gary was still not telling me that he was at the hospital. But I wasn't going to keep on playing dumb. "Which pack is it?""What do you mean?""Which pack is it that attacked us?. You know, don't you?""How did you..wait a second, Aurora where are you?""Just answer the question, Gary!" As soon as he spilled the information I was looking fo
Aurora Pov "Miss Aurora" A loud, bold voice thundered, shifting my attention towards it. I trembled upon seeing the pack elders, Alpha Lerroy, Alpha Oz and Alpha Asher approaching me. Instantly, I threw myself down at their feet. "Greetings, great elders""Rise up to your feet, my daughter" Commanded Alpha Lerroy. I do as instructed. "I heard you were far away from reach. It's good to see you back""I only came because I heard the pack was in trouble." Turning to face my mother, I add. "I wouldn't have left in the first place if I knew about it"Alpha Lerroy lets our a deep throaty chuckle. "And how did this news come to realize each your ears"I turned to face Alpha Lerroy. "Jax told me about it"Lerroy turns to look at Jax, who was cuddling out daughters in his arms while humming a soft lullaby. Glancing up to meet Lerroy's gaze, Jax nods his head as Lerroy returns the gesture. "I have to say he did a good job by doing that" Lerroy admits. "Seeing as you put a stop to the attac
JAX’S POV I leaned back on my seat as I watched Scarlett Marvins, my P.A. explain our business proposal to the clients. I would have taken it in me to convince them, but I had a lot of faith in her; she has never let me down. " I would also like to tell you that our company works hand in hand with Rock Foundation Inc. That should be able to convince you that we only work with A+ grade materials that will ensure a longer-lasting high-rise building." She said. I looked at the clients, and I could see that they were very impressed with the proposal " You've convinced us to give you this contract to your company Miss Scarlett... And the knowledge of your partnership with Rock Foundation Inc has sealed this deal." Mr. Avardez, the representative of Skyline Organization, said with pride. " We only hope that you do not disappoint us.” Another man, whose name I can't recollect, spoke sternly. " Rest assured, Sir, this isn't the first High-rise building we are dealing with, and yours wi
AURORA’S POV." You're fired!." The managing Director thundered, and all I could think of was where I had gone wrong.I couldn't think of anything I might have done to warrant this sudden job termination. It made no sense, and you can't wake up one morning and decide to fire your workers; it just isn't done that way." Sir! With all due respect. I don't think you've told me my crime or why I deserve punishment as huge as this." I glared at the wolf who, in his little narrow mind, thought he ruled the world." How dare you question me? You're fired!." He roared.I laughed. " I don't think everything is alright with you, sir. You can't fire someone you've already fired." I mocked.No!. It wasn't an offense or a crime I committed. My job was terminated because of human greed and wickedness.My mind flashed back to the incident a month before my release.My M.D. had called me into his office to have a "discussion" with me. He talked about how he had a nephew that needed a job after years
AURORA’S POV.His ragged breath landed on my face as he claimed my lips with all passion and intensity. I heard myself letting out soft low moans as my body reacted to his touch. It triggers my brain to release a cocktail of chemicals, the happy hormones. I felt my blood pump faster, and I untangled his curled hair with my fingers.The kissing continued for a few minutes before he broke it and traced them down my neck, placing gentle soft kisses on it. He paused for a while, gasping for breath.“ Don’t stop.” I pleaded in a low soft voice. My lower lips reacted to his presence.I knew this might be a bad idea, but right now I needed him.“ I can’t.” He replied, and his words sent shivers down my spine. I wanted more.I let go of my shame as my fingers find their way to his buttons and start to free them from their little bondage. Weirdly he doesn’t try to stop me.I slowly slid the tore shirt off his upper body. There wasn’t much left, so it wasn’t much work. Just two buttons left and
AURORA’S POV.Soon I was standing in front of him. Naked, ready and fucking wet with my nipples, standing like some warrior soldiers.He let out a loud growl filled with want, need and rawness. His eyes ran over my body, and I could feel their heat on me. He finally walked closer and picked me up, cupping me in his strong arms as he carried me toward the room.I felt safe as he held me alongside his warmth on my body. I felt protected. I felt like a child, and I loved it. Deep down, I knew this wouldn’t last, but I was more than willing to take whatever he offered.He placed me on the bed gently and stood upright to run his eyes over me again.Maybe I felt a bit embarrassed and shy.“ You look beautiful.” He said in what seemed more like a whisper, and I let out a sigh of relief. I felt better now and wanted.He got into bed, too, kneeling between my legs as he spread them more widely and placed them on his neck. His lips found my lower lips and kissed it softly, then stuck out his to
JAX’S POV.I opened my eyes to the rays of the morning sun. My eyes roamed the room, trying to remember what had happened yesterday. The banging headache confirmed that I probably drank more than I could handle, which was a first. Without looking, I knew I had brought someone home because I could feel the body heat radiating from my side.I sat up immediately, groaning, holding my head in my hands.What the hell did I drink?I glanced at the lady next to me, only to snap my head back in her direction.My eyes widened...... Aurora!I laid on my elbow to look at her face very well.It was Aurora! What was she doing in my bed?Immediately, my heart raced, and I raised the duvet that covered us both. My fear came through; we were naked.No! No!! No!!!.This can't be happening! How did I end up naked with my best friend on my bed?She stirred, and I watched her wake up; her eyelids opened, revealing her nature green orbs.I almost caught a hint of a smile on her lips, but her expression ch
AURORA’S POV.A knock sounded on the door, and it was pushed open; I turned around to look and watched him walk in.“You set? We have to leave now.” He said, and I nodded firmly. I was dressed and ready for my new job.“I just need to adjust my lipstick. It looks like a mess. I don’t want to show up at work looking like a character from a horror movie.” I joked and turned back to stare at my reflection in the mirror, my thumb going over my lips to blend up the excess ones.I heard him laugh softly.“Horror movie or not. You look good in almost everything.” He complimented.A smile curled up my lips.“That’s sweet. My best friend decided to compliment me. Awnnn!.” I played and chuckled softly.His compliment was still running through my mind. It warmed my heart to know that he thought of me as beautiful. Maybe it would have been more beautiful if he had seen me more than a friend. Suppose he said these words from a heart filled with love for me.“It’s enough. Don’t tell me you plan on

Jax PovIn the airport, Aurora didn't even utter a single word to me but rather kept her attention on our kids in her arms. And honestly, I couldn't blame her for that. If I hadn't brought up the rogue attack on her mother's pack, I doubt she would even be seated right next to me right now."Then apologize to her already" Casper says. "I'm pretty sure I've worn out that word already"Turning to face Aurora, I decided to give it a shot--my best shot-- "Aurora...""You want to apologize, right? You don't have to. I understand""But--""Could you please watch the kids for me? I have to use the restroom" she says, handing the girls over to me--without waiting for my response-- and dashing off. "She really wants nothing to do with you, man" Casper says, stating the obvious. "Well on the bright side, your kids might"No sooner had those words come out of Casper's mouth had the girls burst into loud cries. "I guess I spoke too soon" Casper corrects himself. While I had a hard time trying
Tate PovThe following morning, I wake up with a startle to realize that my face was gummed shut to the pages of a book. Tearing my face away, my drool followed suite. "Gross" Arnold gagged. "You shouldn't have tried studying""Oh, shut up" Flipping the pages of the book, I write down the fruits that would aid Mabel's recovery on a piece of paper, returning the book back on it's shef before dashing out of the library. On my way back to my chambers, all hell seemed to have broken loose overnight in the palace--which piqued my interest because any chaos that wasn't caused by me always excited me--As a pack warrior was about to run past me, I stopped him. "What's going on here?""Alpha Jax has gone missing"My excitement immediately died down. "I'm sure he just went out for a walk or something" Besides Jax had wanted me to train him just yesterday, he wouldn't put himself in harm's way while he couldn't protect himself. "He left a note in his stepfather's room that he is going to
Aurora PovThe following morning I didn't need the girls wails to wake me up to go to work because I couldn't sleep all night as yesterday, I'd told Loenard everything and by that I meant what I truly was. "You couldn't come up with a simple excuse for why you needed those pills?" Alaya continues her rants. "Let's go over to Leonard's place and tell him that it was all a lie--a trick""We can't, Alaya""Why can't we?""Because I showed him my fangs and claws, remember?""Thankfully it's around Halloween""I shifted in front of him and the shock had made him pass out"Alaya lets out a frustrated wail. "You are impossible, Aurora. How could you think of that? I thought you made a big fuss of him 'not seeing you as a freak', what changed!?""I panicked, okay?!. Geez, give me a break, Alaya!" My yelling had made the girls burst into tears as I speed off to their cribs to hush them in my arms. "You are antsy, Aurora?""Just because it's my first day of work"Alaya shakes her head. "No
Tate povShe was mateless as well?. I couldn't see myself believing that fact because what exactly was wrong with her?. How was she undeserving of love too when she was one of the purest soul I'd ever met?Suddenly drawn to her, I crashed my lips onto hers. When I didn't get any opposition from her, I made an attempt to deepen our kiss but was instantly pushed away by her. "What do you think you're doing?!" Mabel shrieked. "I'm--I'm-" Words failed me as I'd initially come her to apologize but had just made matters worst. "Get out of here, now!"Without hesitation, I jumped out through the windows; running at full speed to anywhere my legs wanted to take me. What was wrong me?. How could I have suddenly felt an attraction for Mabel? If these feelings were real, what about my feelings for Aurora?. Were they just 'obsessions' as Herla had said?.I was confused with all these mixed feelings right now.As I ran, all I could hear were Herla's voice calling me a monster over and over aga
Mabel Pov"Ouch, be careful it stings" I complained as the pack's nurse Lorella treated my wounds. "If it stings then you should have been more careful. How could Tate hurt you this way? He's a monster""Don't call him that" I defended. "I was the one who had pushed his button""Even though, he should have known when to stop. Herla won't take this lightly with him. I'm pretty sure she's going to ban him from entering the pack house ever again"Lorella had a point. Even though Herla was Aurora's mother, she was also the pack's mother--a mother to us all-- so therefore her words holds the final say regarding the pack. "And I heard that because of Tate, Kil nearly got creamated" Lorella continued. "What!?" I shrieked, wincing as I felt a sharp throbbing pain in my abdomen. "Be careful""How did that come to be?" Tate really crossed the line this time. Herla didn't play with her kids, not Aurora and definitely not Kil. If anyone as much hurt a hair on their heads, the next 30 seconds
Aurora povHanging up, I walked back to Leonard; trying to hide my worried expression off my face. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Yeah" I replied, eager to change the topic. "You said we were going somewhere?""Are you sure you're up for it? You look really pale, Aurora""It's really nothing, Leonard" I assure him. "Where were you taking me to?""You're right, let's go. Fortunately for you, your work place has numerous supermarkets and shops around so if you ever need to get a thing or two for yourself or the girls; you don't need to search far"As Leonard described the places for me, where I could get a map to the city of I wanted to, we reached our dinning spot. "You're going to love this place, Aurora" He assures me. "Their pasta and salad is a real killer"I flashed him a smile. "Right? Then I'll leave it all to you""You just sit over here while I go place our order" Leonard plunged me down onto a two persons couch before moving to place our orders. Venita and Ariel we're alr
Jax PovGetting back to the pack house, I made a beeline to my room to bandage the injuries I'd sustained from that little power trip battle against Gary. "If he hadn't passed out from exhaustion, there would be no difference between you and a pounded soap right now" Casper states, annoying the hell out of me. "I know that; thanks for stating the obvious""Anytime, buddy"Why was Gary willing to battle with our lives on the line to prevent me from searching for Aurora?.No matter what anyone says, I was going to search for her at all cost. Hearing Gwen call out for Tate in the hallway, I exit my room; making my way towards them. "I need a minute with Tate" I tell Gwen. Irritated, she responds. "I'm talking to him first""Don't get offended, honey" Tate says with a sweet tone to Gwen that iriked me. "I'll make it brief. Besides, Jax and I conversations had never exceeded 30 minutes""Then, I'll be waiting for you in my chamber""Alright" Once Gwen was out of sight, Tate lets out a
