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 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
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
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
