It was an hour before midnight and Aurora had just finished wearing down her dinner since she and her grandmother had made sure they designed her birthday cake in a glamorous layout to indicate her twenty-first birthday. She looked across the dining table to see Fennick engrossed in playing games while he dipped into a burger beside him. He had been in her cottage for the past an hour, helping them out with gifts and decorations.

That had always been her birthday routine every year and she had always had fun. She stood up from her harness and strolled to the sitting room to meet her best friend.

"It's almost midnight," Fennick uttered sniffing her beside him, his gaze on the motor game he was playing. 

"I know, I need to rest a little bit." She conveyed hugging the couch pillow to her chest. 

Fennick stole her glance and returned to his game. "This is your first time complaining on the night of your birthday. What's up with you?" He inquired.

Aurora shrugged, "You're ethical, I feel weird." She pouted and adjusted herself comfortably on the couch. She wasn't herself ever since she remembered her wishes since the first day she started making them. However, she was glad they always came true.

Fennick pushed away the gamepad from his hand and stood up towards Aurora. Unawares, he carried her up in a bridal style ignoring her wails at it. Then he headed down to her room for her to change her clothes.

"You aren't going to watch me dress, are you?" She asked, bracing him. She was trying to pick out the best dress to wear out of the beautiful dresses Fennick had bought for her a week ago. 

"What are you hiding, your blossom? Curves? Or what?" 

"Fennick?" She shuddered, twisting her head over her shoulder to give him a glimpse. How could he have mentioned such dirty words?

Fennick laughed and bit his lower lips, "You don't have to worry, you aren't my type."

"Yeah, I guess because I don't have all the shit you're babbling about." She bellowed and returned to checking her wear.

Fennick smirks, "Thank goodness you know." 

"Yeah, now will you get out!" She yelled while Fennick chuckled and left her room.

"Holy shit! These dresses are way too hot. I'm only going into the spring. Why would he get something like this for me?" She thought as she pulled out a pleated white gown with a red rose design on it. It was way too sexy but beautiful and with another thought, she decided on it. 

"Granny love, we're leaving now, bye!" She called to Sora who was already in her slumber but Aurora's voice echoed in her compassion. 

"Take good care of yourself, Rora." She uttered through mind-linking and Aurora agreed.

Fennick pulled her hands as they raced out of the cottage into the forest and down to the mountain. They headed to the spring where Aurora always made her yearly wish but this time she was nervous, thinking of changing her wish to something else. It had been the same wish ever since she started making them and it looks absurd to her making it again. 

Standing and gazing in front of the waterfall, listening to the waves of the water, she decided not to change it.  

It wasn't midnight yet, so she and Fennick had a chat. "I hope you have another wish this time," Fennick mumbled as they sat on a huge rock beside the spring. 

Aurora shook her head. "I want to change it, Fennick but I just couldn't get it off my mind. I fear something might happen." She mumbled, grimly.

"You're twenty-one Aurora and granny said you can change it." Fennick persuaded. He didn't know why Aurora still had to wish for the same thing every year which was awful to him. He hoped she could change it and move on with her life rather than having emotions that might not even come to pass and even if it does they will find a way to let it go. "Your wish has always come to pass, I don't know why you keep on making such a wish. I bet you better stop now and ask for something better." 

"Hell, no." She muttered.

"You're twenty-one in just a few minutes and you still behave like a child," Fennick complained and shook his head, earning a soft smack on his face. He returned his face to Aurora who was now on her feet, poking out her tongue at him.

"Don't ever call me a child, dumbass!" She protested and ran across the little rock sensing he would run after and he did. The two started to chase each other around the spring until they were exhausted, not minding how late it had become at dusk. They both sat down back on the rock and Fennick helped Aurora check out the time. 

"Two minutes to go, Aurora, it's time." He bellowed and grabbed her up immediately. They both trudged toward the waterfall and waited for the time to click midnight. 

Aurora's hands were already clasped together in front of her chest and her eyes closed when it clicked twelve.

"Happy Birthday to you…" Fennick sang merrily to her, swerving around her while she stood in a firm position. After he was done singing for her, he whispered, "Say your wish now, Aurora."

She breathed in and out, trying to savour some air, she uttered, "I wish I_" She paused and tried not to open her eyes to meet Fennick gaze because she knew she might have a change of heart. "I wish not to have a mate! I wish I had no mate! I wish I won't find my mate and I wish he doesn't find me either!" 

With her final statement, she plugged her eyes open, staring sadly at Fennick who was having the cutest grin on his face. 

He brought out his hands for her to take and led her into the spring water like how all Lock Hearts pack shifters do, she knelt while Fennick said some rites about her having a glorious and peaceful life after her twenty-first birthday then, he used his manly hands to hold up the water from the spring which was referred to as Safe water and dropped it on her head while it slipped to her whole body. He did it again and again while she chuckled at his actions. Thanks to him, she always has a tremendous birthday.

Fennick stopped when he had fully soaked her gown with water and he pulled her out of the water back to the rock. "Happy birthday once again, Rora." He complimented and she wrapped her hands around his waist for a hug.

"Thank you so much, Fennick. Thank you so much." She comprehends. He had been a lovely brother to her ever since they became friends and she loved him for being part of her life.

  • My Nerd Mate   A Beautiful Gathering With A Touch Of Surprise

    The Pack dining room was filled with the sound of laughter, clinking glasses, and the warmth of togetherness. After the heartache of the last few weeks, that night was a chance to heal, celebrate survival, and find peace in the company of one another. The scent of roast meat and freshly baked bread filled the entire place. Sage stood near the far end of the room, his hand resting gently on the back of Aurora’s chair. She had her chin tilted slightly down, her fingers playing with the glass in front of her, lost in thought. For a moment, Sage’s gaze softened, taking in the quiet beauty of the woman who had been at his side and his mate.He had been wanting to talk to her for days now, no, for weeks, but every time he saw her, the words escaped him. How could he put everything into words when everything had changed so much?Aurora felt his eyes on her, and slowly, she looked up.

It was a big loss for everyone in the Pack.Gwen gently took Alpha Cowell’s lifeless body from Beta Craig’s trembling hands.

Their bravery was admired, for they had given their lives to protect another.Aurora sat beside Sage, her eyes fixed on his peaceful face.

  • My Nerd Mate   The Last Straw

    Aurora slowly opened her eyes, coughing as the acrid smoke filled her lungs. Her thoughts were heavy, unsure of where she was or what had happened. As she struggled to sit up, memories flashed through her mind and as she remembered her fight with the witch, she assessed her body for injuries, expecting to find scars or stab wounds. But to her surprise, she found none.Confusion etched on her face, Aurora turned her head to take in her surroundings. The room was in shambles, furniture overturned, and debris scattered everywhere. But it was the body slumped on the ground that caught her attention.Aurora's heart skipped a beat as she scrambled to her feet, rushing towards the lifeless form. "Sora!" she cried out, her voice trembling with fear as she recognised the face.She reached her grandmother's side and soon her eyes welled up with tears.

  • My Nerd Mate   The Witch's Revenge

    Ursula's cave was surrounded in darkness and the only sound that filled the place was a soft humming from her. Just in a flash, she sprang up from where she sat, seething her teeth in anger as she started to feel her powers draining out. She suddenly let out a horrible scream, throwing her head backwards as she shook vehemently. She paced back and forth in front of her mirror, her long, black hair swirling around her like a dark cloud. Her eyes, once bright with malevolence, now seemed dull and lifeless."How could this be?!" she spat, her voice venomous. "I used Octavia and Aurora to gain the upper hand. I manipulated them, used their innocence against them."Ursula's mind flashed back to the day she met the two of them. She has lied about giving her powers to Sora at birth Octavia. But in reality, she had been using them to further her own powers. She has indeed given Sora a child but it was with the aim to build her powers and the child was connected to those powers that she used

    “We do not have any interest in that. We work for Alpha Dylan and now you are saying we should go against him? I’m sorry, we can’t do that,” the leader proclaimed. “Moreover, we have other important things to handle.” Then, he turned to one of his men, “Take her away and dump her back in the pack,” he commanded. His men immediately obliged, grabbing Rose and attempting to carry her away yet, Rose wasn't going to give up that easily.She had swore to leave with them, or die trying to do so. As soon as the men grabbed her and left an opening for their weapon, Rose reached for one of their swords. The sword was drawn from its scabbard and she swung it at the men but they were quick to move out of the way to avoid getting hit. Turning to their leader, Rose aimed the sword at his neck. “You will help my people, or I'll kill you and die afterwards.” She emitted with so much audacity. The fierce look in her eyes was quite scary, and the leader wondered if it was the same person that came in
