CHAPTER1

Aurora pov.

Aurora!! Aurora!!!

I woke up to my sister yelling my name. Even though it wasn't loud enough, I could clearly hear it. I worked out my achy muscles, which are still healing after last night's punishment. I let out a tiny scream as I glanced at the clock because I was meant to wake up early enough to prepare breakfast for the pack. I'm going to get into serious trouble today, I swear. My alarm went off, but I was able to sleep through it. This wasn't shocking, though, because last night's punishment was among the worst I've had in a long while.

I hurried downstairs after getting up, missing my morning routine of taking a bath before doing anything else. I was attempting to get to the kitchen to make breakfast this morning, but I stumbled on the final step. I grunt a little as pain shoots through my skull as I slide to a stop and smack the side of my face on the floor. I tried to get up and saw my sister staring at me; I knew she might be the one, and she's lucky because I don't get depressed no matter what happens to me. 

"Serves you right bitch, you should watch where you are going" Stella grinned, "Oh! If Dad discovers that you are going to make breakfast this late, knowing full well that everyone ate early while you were still asleep and that they are all starving, he won't be happy. Simply go find us somewhere to eat and get lost."

She raised her hands to give me a strong slap before I could go, knocking me back to the ground. "Before I forget, you're going to be leaving this place shortly. We've concluded that your presence is intolerable at this point. I can't tolerate your hideous face any longer because it makes me think of my mother and my brother and you are the cause of their death”. I don't know why you didn't die and they should be the ones to leave.” 

She then proceeded upstairs while feigning tears. It was nothing new to me to be dubbed a monster or a murderer. I dashed into the kitchen in the hopes of meeting it arranged as I left it yesterday night but as usual it was in a complete mess. However, after giving it some thought, I realize that I must clear it up right away to avoid being blamed for another thing again. Before everyone has to depart, I pull the eggs and bacon from the fridge, scramble as many eggs and bacon as I can.

I shall therefore carry on with the introduction I began initially while I am cooking. I am Aurora Hilbert from the Crescent Rise pack. I am Alpha Jack Hilbert's second daughter; as you may know, I am a twin and also the reason behind my twin and mother's death as people would say. I am 19 years old, and I still can't change because of the punishment and beatings I receive here on a daily basis. Most of the time, all I really want is to go away from here and find my true mate, because this place is a prison where no one cares about me or loves me. I've received this treatment from them since birth; the only good thing then was that I was raised by a wonderful nanny, if not for her help I would have not survived it. She did all that because of her love she had for my mother and decided to fulfill her dying wish.

Returning to work, I leave everyone to eat the scrambled eggs and bacon I prepared before going back into the kitchen to clean up the mess. My satisfaction stemmed from the fact that my father was currently absent, so I took advantage of the chance to slip away to my grandmother's house since, to put it simply, it's the only place I feel peace and comfort. Indeed, I don't attend school since no one would even consider enrolling me. Although I truly wanted to, I also think it would be a waste of time because I could end up receiving worse treatment there than I am receiving here.

I've always enjoyed visiting my grandmother's home. My father has been holding a grudge against my grandmother for years, but it's not like it's a big deal; it's just that he doesn't like to be told what he should do or not do. That's why he refused to let my sister and I visit.

"Aurora what are you doing here again,I thought we agreed you would stop coming here because of what your dad did to you the last time; you know I don't like to see you being beaten by him." My grandma exclaimed

Everyone loved my granny because of something about her. It was just impossible to dislike her. My grandma was five feet five inches tall, much like me, and she had long brown hair.

“I missed you so much”, I hugged her, not wanting to leave her.

“But we just met ourselves a week ago.” My grandma said, still holding me.

Grandma always encouraged me to pursue my goals, but she also made sure I gave things careful thought. Grandma took me inside her little cottage and got me some food. I fell asleep without realizing it immediately after eating. I was asleep for about six hours then my grandmother came to wake me up.

"You have to get going before your Dad starts looking for you." She said, She was correct, it was getting close to the time for my Dad to return. Since I couldn't shower this morning, I made the hasty decision to do it here. 

After bidding her farewell, I began walking home through the bushes. I sensed that I was being followed; The person didn't stop and continued to approach me even though I wanted to run. I could not resist staring at this powerful and beautiful deity in front of me as he stood in front of me. His bare body was covered with blood. I abruptly lost my train of thought and rushed over to offer him my help.

"S... sir, are you all...right?" At the moment, I was stuttering. However, I couldn't let this attractive god be all by himself here for some reason.

The man's deep voice demanded, "Go away."

I came to a halt. I should have been afraid right now, but I wasn't.

I gently said, "Sir, I can help you; it looks like you need a doctor."

Even in that momentary state, Alex is impressed by what she stated; nonetheless, he was taken aback by her apparent lack of werewolf strength.

His body started to get hotter, and he started to lose control.

He told me to "run, run as fast as I can," since as soon as his wolf lost it, he began to need her. He doesn't want to screw up that night, but his wolf won't let him. Rather than moving, I simply stared at him, and I found myself unable to resist the need to run away since I was so captivated by him.

Before Alex lost all sense and gave in to his primal desires, he reasoned that at least his mate would be intriguing. 

Before I could blink, he attacked me and tore my garments to pieces. 

I truly wanted to yell and cry out for help, but I was unable to do so. Instead, all I wanted was for him to be there and for me to forget all the abuse and hatred I experience at home. I was starting to notice a lot of changes in myself at this point, and I was feeling halfway between happy and unhappy. "Was this how it feels?" I questioned myself. At that time, I realized immediately because I had previously done study on how emotions can be since I lacked that as a child. I decided not to cloud my mind with anything else and gave myself willingly to him and I also lost my virginity and to my surprise I felt this sharp and sweet sensation in me and a voice popped up in my head screaming mate, mate. I looked back at him and immediately he claimed me.
