AURORA’S POV. I felt my body vibrating from the anger that had built inside me. I was pissed and angry that he would call me names. That he would jump to conclusions this way. I could take everything but not be called names like this. “I’m not a slut, and he is gay!” I yelled in a loud voice. Anger surged through me. I felt my body vibrating so hard. My blood was boiling. My hair was standing. I felt my claws threatening to come out. The hairs on my body were getting much. I felt pains all over my body. It happened so fast that I didn’t even know it could. My anger had triggered that much in me. Jax’s jaws dropped. He closed the gap between us. His face inches away from mine. “Not only are you a slut, but you are also a liar!” He roared, hatred evident in his voice. I lost my tongue. I didn’t know what to say next. I had changed into a wolf for a brief second. It was unplanned. He stepped back to look at me again, running his fingers through his hair as he paced up and down. “I can’t
ADRIAN’S POV I tried to shove down another piece of meatball, my eyes still glued to the phone lying right in front of me. This was the fifth time I would be trying Aurora’s number ever since the other night’s event. All I had witnessed was them leaving, and she never returned. I had tried going after her but I didn’t want anything more than would upset her partner. She had told me about her love for Jax, the night I confessed her own deep secrets. I didn’t know if she did it to make me feel good or she just needed someone to share it with just like I did.I know you are surprised to know I finally decided to open up, but I just had to. I was tired of harboring so much inside me. It was starting to hurt so bad.I and Harry were in love or so I thought. He was my boyfriend of three years. We used to be best friends and he was my childhood friend too. We went to the same schools together, we even got accepted into the same college and ended up in the same department. It was like a drea

This questions I screamed, wishing I could get an answer.Here I am trying to accept that she was not flirting with Adrian, but how can i accept and live with the fact she is A BEAST!.. A WEREWOLF! .All I feel now is HATE, my whole body vibrating like there is about to be a violent movement on earth, my heart racing, eyes full of tears as i swallow in lost thought, my head pounding so heavy. I have never felt this way before contrary to today, Aurora helds a priceless spot in my heart, she knows me better than anyone else, why would she hides such a secrete from me, the inner part of me wants to forgave and hear her out.NO! I can't!... I can't!... I can't in any way live with a deceitful person, whose motive in my life I don't kn
AURORA’S POV My heart ache, time stopped, my mouth wide opened, but no word was coming from it. all I could do was stare at Jax, and mumbled. while he poured out his grief, I wish I could give him a tight hug, now more than ever. Everything seems to happen so fast. It's difficult to cotail the situation, can't really comprehend, why he was this broken. why did he hates werewolf so much, if only he could see that I was hurt as he was. We were both broken, tears rolled down my eyes as I tried to explain to him that I was not a SLUT OR A MONSTER like he sees me to be. I was cut silence in every attempt to do so explain to him. If only I had listen to you " alaya" now our mate and best friend doesn't want us anymore!, I said to my wolf, while I crawled back to what used to be my room to complete the arrange of my belongings, as I prepare to leave in the early hours of the day. It's morning already despite how long the night seems to be, I was set to leave, wished I coul
GARY'S POVA call came in during the early hours of day from the hospital, it was surprising and for me to be getting a call this early it must be a matter of urgency. I picked up quick and it was Mrs amelia the front desk lady and the reception, she informed me Aurora was at the office to see me, i could sense the urgency the urgency in her voice, I had to set every thing I was currently doing aside to go and get her. As I stared at her now, my lingering suspicionwas confirmed. She looked shaken by some thing, I did not know what, she looked sad too, it was every thing unlike the Aurora I knew, so unlike the bubbling lively Aurora I had become so accustomed to ever since our high school days, it was highly jarring and unsettling to say the least.As we neared my house, a sprawling white building with floor to ceiling glass paneling, I pulled the car to a screeching halt, the tyres crunched the gravel beneath it raising both sand and dust."We are here." I announced and I swi
Gary pov I struggled to find words, my surprise transforming into a mix of astonishment and joy. "Adline? How did you... What are you doing here?" I stammered, unable to hide my bewilderment.Adline's eyes sparkled with amusement as she stepped forward, "I missed you, silly," she said, her tone laced with affection. "I couldn't resist the urge to see you."She walked past me into the house and I trailed behind her.I saw surprise and disbelief dance on her face, almost ruining her beautiful makeup. Aurora stood up slowly, I could see fear and worry in her eyes.A wave of anger surged through Adline's, her eyes narrowing as she tried to comprehend the situation. She had trusted me implicitly, never doubting my commitment to our relationship. But the sight before her shattered that trust, replacing it with a torrent of emotions."What is going on here?" Adline demanded, her voice laced with a mix of hurt and anger. She struggled to keep her composure, her fingers tightening around the
Aurora pov As the vibrant hues of orange and purple painted the evening sky, casting a breathtaking display of colors, I found myself standing on the beautiful balcony of Gary's house, my heart heavy with sorrow. I had been going through a difficult time, grappling with the weight of my own brokenness and the challenges life had thrown my way.Lost in my thoughts, I stared at the setting sun, its descent symbolizing the fading hope within me. The balcony offered a sanctuary of solace, a space where I could momentarily escape my worries.As I stood there, tears welled up in my eyes, her emotions threatening to overflow. It was then that I heard soft footsteps approaching from behind. I turned my head and saw my friend, my savior, Gary, making his way towards me with a gentle and understanding expression.He leaned against the railing, his presence offering a sense of comfort. He glanced at the colorful canvas in the sky and spoke softly, breaking the silence."Sunsets have a way
JAX'S POVIn the depths of the night, as the moon shone brightly in the sky, I found myself immersed in a vivid dream. In my slumber, I transformed into a powerful, majestic werewolf, my senses heightened and my spirit wild.As I roamed through a mystical forest, guided by the moonlight, I encountered a radiant figure, ethereal and captivating. She introduced herself as Ariel, the Moon Goddess, and spoke to me with a voice that echoed with both wisdom and grace."Jaxson," Ariel's voice resonated in my dream. "You are not merely a creature of the night but a being tied to the cycles of the moon. Your true mate, whom you have sent away, holds a profound connection to your destiny."Confusion and regret flooded my dream-state. I recalled Aurora— the woman I had pushed away, consumed by my own fears and doubts."But why did I push her away? I felt such hatred towards her," I confessed, my voice tinged with remorse.Ariel's eyes, shining like orbs of moonlight, held a compassionate gaze. "
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
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
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
