~Ethan.

Admiration, pain, pride, and jealousy surged through me as I looked down at Aurora who was meticulously attending to the patients. She had been engrossed in taking care of the patients since we had them transferred to the royal infirmary.

I found it difficult to believe that I was seeing her after many years, after ten years of her sudden disappearance, and she was back and better and… better, handling the patients like a professional. I mean, Aurora was now a professional doctor with a son!

The small smile on my face fell as I shifted my eyes to the little boy by her side, his smile matched the one on Aurora's face, both their smiles big, bright and beautiful. Aurora was now bigger, brighter and more beautiful than she was ten years ago.

Aurora cleared her throat, pulling me away from my thoughts as she came to stand in front of me, slowly slipping the gloves off her fingers.

“I will do it. I will take care of the patients but,” she raised a finger, “not because you forced m

    ~Aurora.Not sooner had we settled in the room than morning came. We got settled a few hours earlier, and I was still trying to get another round of sleep when Arne stirred awake next to me.“You should get some more sleep,” I said as I planted a kiss on his temple.“Is this where we are going to live from now on?” He asked, paying no heed to my request.“No. No, we will be out of here as soon as possible. I just have to do a little job of taking care of some patients. Those patients we saw yesterday and just a little more, then we will be out of this place.”Arne pinned a look on me for a second before shifting his gaze to the ceiling. “Is he a good man? The man who took us, can we trust him?”“I…he, yeah…well. It will be best if you stayed out of his way.” I set my lips in a thin line and looked away as Arne turned back to me.“Why? Because he's not a good man?”No, because he is your father and he just may be out for your head. I bit back the sentence and swallowed it back with a sp

    ~Ethan.I rubbed against my temples as I listened to the nth complaint from the same person since the meeting began. We had gathered to discuss the health issue of our pack, and he chose to use the medium to talk about his farmland. I wasn't really concerned about his farmland, if pests were disturbing, him, then he should find a way to get rid of them without making it an issue, besides, he wasn't the only farmer in the pack.“...all I'm saying is that…"“Can I know the main reason for this early morning summon?” I asked, cutting him short.“The main reason, you say?” One of the elders, Lord Harrison, said, jumping to his feet. “Like you didn't hear or see rather what happened last night. Do you know how many lives that were at risk?”I corked my head to the side and raised a brow as I scanned him from head to toe. The brevity of this man, speaking to his Alpha with such disrespect.Some of the other elders who were wise enough to notice my stare tried to drag him back, but he stood

    ~Aurora.“Here she is, Dr. Rory Aldrich, the doctor we have all been waiting for.” Sam announced as we stepped into the room.The once rowdy room fell silent as I stepped into it. I had made sure to hold my head high as I walked behind Sam and into a room full of Sturgeon Moon pack elders; elders that never once cared about me.I had once dreamt of standing before them but, that was when I had believed I would be their queen and Luna, when I was being misled by Ethan's lies. After my flight from the pack, I swore to cut off Sturgeon Moon pack and everything that had to do with it, but alas, there I was standing before Ethan and his honorable wise men.With a big smile, I scanned the room and met their dumbfounded faces, and my heart swelled with joy. It was good as they learned that I didn't fail, I wasn't standing before them as their Luna but, I definitely was standing tall with a great significance.“Is this a joke? Are we jokes to you? Forgive my outburst, my Lord, but, what hogw

    ~Ethan.My cheeks hurt from grinning as I watched Aurora address the elders. Never had I imagined that Aurora, the Aurora I used to know, would ever have the courage to command such authority. Her voice was firm and bold, and the vibration of her voice forced the elders to lower their eyes from meeting hers.When she addressed Harvey, the man who called her an imposter, I almost melted in my seat from blushing. Seeing Aurora was amazing but seeing a bold, confident and outspoken Aurora was thrilling.Who or what made her strong? I bit my tongue as I realized the weight of my question. I wasn't the reason she was stronger, I had always been satisfied with her being on the sidelines, with her being a wallflower.What was I thinking?“... isn't that right, my king?” Her teasing voice came, distracting my line of thought and I blinked as I looked up at her to see a scowl plastered on her face. First was the mocking tone, then a scowl. All I've done was sit and listen to her speak, I have

    ~Aurora.After being informed by Sam to be available for the brunch by eleven am, I made my way back to my room to find Arne asleep and the trolley of food out of the room.Since the morning was still young, I decided to familiarize myself with my environment and to check if I still had a clear memory of how I knew the palace.Just as I was about to leave the room, a knock came on the door, and I opened it to reveal a young maid about Audrey's age.“Good morning ma'am,” the maid greeted with a smile, "I am Kelly, the nanny assigned to your son throughout your stay at the palace.”“Well, that was fast,” I muttered to myself as I stepped to the side to let her into the room. “ I am Dr. Ro... Aurora and my son is Arne, I would have introduced you but, he is fast asleep now.”“That is no problem, ma'am, I will do that myself when he wakes up.”“Well, I was about to go for a walk before you came. I will be back even before you notice I am gone.” She nodded, and I turned on my heels and left

    ~Ethan.I held my breath, half expecting Aurora to pass out when I saw her go pale the moment she walked into the dining room. I had instantly regretted ever persuading Aurora to join us for the brunch the second I heard mom's and Hadria -my younger sister's- plans.They had invited Isadora and Keenan for the brunch!I had no clue what made them come up with such thought and I had tried my possible best to make mom revoke her invitation, but Mom, as obstinate as she has always been, decided that she couldn't go back on her words, which brought me to then, in the same room with my ex best friend, ex-wife and her sister, my ex-girlfriend.“Aren't you just gorgeous?” Mom beamed as she walked over to Aurora and threw her arms around her neck, finally breaking the energy passing through Aurora and Isadora. I was no mind reader, but I was certain there was nothing good about that energy.“My, my, you look really fam... Aurora? Is it really you, Aurora?” Mom gasped as she took a step back to

    ~Aurora.I cleared my throat for the nth time and straightened my back against the chair. All that Jessie was trying to tell me became obvious to me. Ethan and Isadora were no longer a couple.Who would have thought all these were going on while I was away? Who would have thought Isadora would ever leave Ethan and for his best friend?Keenan had been very supportive of me and Ethan's relationship, or was that just a front to snatch me away from Ethan, just like he did Isadora? Did they even fall in love with each other? Keenan and Isadora? Hadn't Isadora been in love with Ethan? I mean she still addressed him by 'love' so what happened? What happened?A million and one questions ran through my mind, and I took a sip of my wine -for the first time since dinner- to keep them from escaping my mouth. Despite the fact that Isadora and I weren't best of friends, I was glad that she was okay.Ethan still maintained his position; both hands placed gracefully on his laps and his face straight a

    ~Ethan.It sounded unbelievable, what Aurora had said to me earlier during the day. I had hurt her and I hated myself for hurting her, so how was it that she who received the pain didn’t hate me? I sighed for the umpteenth time and tossed on my bed. It was already deep into the night, but sleep somehow eluded me and left me with the thoughts of Aurora.All I had wanted to do earlier was sitting her down and unload on her every question on my mind, but instead, I watched her leave only to be tormented by the thought when I was supposed to be deep asleep. No matter how many times I turned and tossed on the bed, my mind was still heavy with the thought and even when I tried closing my eyes to force myself to sleep, a picture of her wearing a bight smile and showing off her beautiful set of teeth tormented me.“God, Aurora, what are you doing to me?” I hissed as I pushed the duvet off my body and quickly fitted myself in a shirt and trousers and made my way to the guest quarters.

    AuroraWhat? He knew about that too?My head snapped at the speed of light once I processed what he just said. I was just as shocked as everyone except that mine was for a different reason. Ethan nodded at me reassuringly before returning his gaze to the crowd, “Yes, you heard me right. Aurora found out the mysterious powers of Arne's blood and she used it to cure every sick person in the pack. I don't need to explain to you how sacred this information is, this only goes to prove that Arne is the true heir of the pack and without him, the pack would not be able to survive it. The plague was a punishment from the moon goddess because our pack had abandoned our Luna and heir. The solution was bringing them back and good thing we did. Asides that, an heir with such blood shows that he is no ordinary alpha, who knows what else he could do? With him our pack will definitely grow into greater heights.” His voice was neither firm nor soft, but it seemed to resonate through the hearts of ev

    EthanThere was excitement in the air and I knew why, I was getting discharged from the hospital today.As I stepped out with Sam by my side, I arrived at the Palace to see the crowd of people gathered, cheerful and happy that their king was back. I wasn't surprised, I had called for the gathering because it was time for me to tell them about Aurora as Luna.I wanted to address it immediately, no time wasted and no hesitation. Aurora would be completely mine and so I was impatient.“Long live the alpha” Everyone chanted happily as I made my way to sit on the throne that faced everyone. My family sat on lower chairs beside me with Sam standing at my other side.I raised my hand and there was immediate silence before I started saying “Greetings everyone. Thank you for your love and well wishes towards me while I was in the hospital. These past one year has been a trying time for everyone of us and I am very glad that we were able to scale through it. After everything, we came out stron

    Aurora“Ethan, you are awake, thank the goddess.” I came to his side in a flash, grabbing his hands and rubbing them gently against my cheek. My eyes were already clouded with tears of joy, I felt so relieved to see him. “Aurora, I… you” he tried to speak with his hoarse voice.“Shh… Don’t say anything, let me check your vitals” I said as I began the check up. He fell quiet, his eyes were on me, following my every movement. I pushed aside the fluttering feeling in my heart from his gaze and finished the check up.Thankfully, everything was fine and his injury was healing properly.“I’m sorry, Aurora” Ethan spoke up as soon as I helped him go sit up on the bed.I rolled my eyes at him and replied, “How many times are you going to say sorry? Come on now, I have forgiven you” it was the truth, the past few days had been to reflect on everything and I have forgiven Ethan in my heart, I had let go of the past and the only thing I was concerned about now was the future. What happens now?

    AuroraIt wasn't a dream. When I returned to the light, I realized I was in a hospital. I was admitted after I fell unconscious.The first person that came to mind was Ethan and I rushed out of my ward to go see him. When I arrived at the ICU where he was supposed to be in, I met his family, Sam and even Arne at the waiting area.“Mum, you are awake” Arne was the first to see and he immediately came to hug me. I hugged him back passionately, “I’m sorry, Arne, for lying to you. I hope you can forgive mummy” I said, holding back unshed tears.“It’s okay, mum. I forgive you. But I don't want to leave…” he said“We won't leave okay? Don't worry” I assured him before hugging him again.The others were looking at me, probably wondering what we were talking about but I ignored their questioning gaze and walked forward holding Arne's hand. They would soon know the truth and I wanted to wait to do it after Ethan recovered.“What’s going on in there? How long has the surgery been going on?” I

    AURORA“Ethan!” I screamed out in shock as Isadora reached him and plunged the knife into his chest. Blood spilled out almost immediately and I quickly ran to his aid, holding him so he doesn't slump to the ground heavily.“Ethan, stay with me okay? You will be fine just stay with me” Tears voluntarily poured out of my eyes as I spoke. Ethan couldn't speak, he just continued to gasp for air.“Arne, get help quickly, run!” I instructed Arne whose face was already wet with tears from the onset. The child ran out of the room immediately while Isadora burst out laughing like a maniac.“It’s no use little sister, you can't save him, he will die for sure” she said amidst her laughter.I was livid, I raised my tear stained face to look at her before saying, “I am not your sister. I am no sister to a monster and killer” With Ethan jerking on my lap, I immediately returned my attention to him. I tried to apply pressure on the wound but to properly do that I had to take out the knife, it was g

    AuroraEthan knocked Isadora off me with one hit and she fell to the ground, slumping unconscious from impact. I glanced at my unconscious sister and then back at the raging Ethan, my heart was beating wildly in my chest. He turned to look at me and his gaze softened almost immediately. I couldn't handle the way he was looking at me so I looked away and got up from the ground.“Aurora, are you okay? I hope Isadora did not hurt you” Ethan said as he came closer and searched my body worriedly.“No, I'm fine” I answered plainly before walking away to where Arne was, I engulfed him in a hug and kissed his forehead. These past days has been rough on him, he didn't deserve it one bit. If I continue to stay here, I fear that he would never be safe and I couldn't afford that. So I did what I felt was right… leave.I placed another long kiss on Arne's forehead before walking to the wardrobe, brought out our empty boxes then I began packing our clothes in it as fast as I could. “What are you

    AuroraI slept wrapped around Arne like a blanket, I couldn't let what happened the last time repeat itself again. I will protect him properly this time. After Ethan rescued Arne and brought him back to me yesterday night and stopped the attack, I retired to bed with Arne immediately. He was still pretty shaken up from what happened so I didn't push him to tell me, I cleaned him up and laid beside him. With the way he clung to me I knew last night must have traumatized him. I never stopped rubbing slow circles on his back and planting kisses on his forehead. My poor child!Soon it was morning, a harsh knock on the door woke us up. I frowned, irritated that the noise woke Arne up. “Who’s there?” I asked as I got up and approached the door.There was no answer, instead there was a harsher knock, my nostrils flared in more irritation and I opened the door, curious to see who it was. Nothing prepared me for the person who was knocking, it was Isadora. She looked wretched with eyes t

    Aurora (Back to when Ethan just left)I was losing it…My son, my life and everything was missing.How deep was I sleeping that I didn't hear when he was taken? I blamed myself, I was not vigilant enough. I was supposed to protect him.I failed.Sam led me inside the house to sit, I was too weak to walk on my own, I have not had anything to eat throughout today either because I had no appetite. I felt sick and I knew the only cure I needed was having my son come back to me. I regretted staying here even when I knew my son's life could be in danger, I was following my heart and now look where it brought me. Ethan had stepped out to look for him, my body itched to go out too but Sam and the others won't let me. I felt like I could hear my son calling out to me crying and it made my heart twist in pain even more. I would die if anything happened to him, I can't live without my son.The sound of hurried footsteps brought me back to reality, one of the guards rushed towards us with panic

    Ethan“My son? What are you saying?” I blurted out and staggered back a bit, visibly weakened by what I just heard.Keenan chuckled before continuing, “I told you I would reveal his real identity when you got here, Didn't I? Well this is the truth, Alpha Ethan! Arne is biologically your child, Aurora has been lying to you all this time” I scoffed in disbelief . There was no way“You’re lying. That's not true” I replied in a dazed whisper. He has to be lying, he was probably trying to mess with my head.“Are you that dense? Arne is 10 years old and 10 years ago Aurora ran away from the pack without anyone's notice. Why do you think she left? Huh?” “Stop! I don't want to hear anymore of that. Release Arne this instant or you are not going to like what I would do to you” I yelled at him, my anger flaring up that he was trying to get inside my head. “Oh look at you! Trying so desperately to convince yourself when deep down you know the truth. Your son has been with you for so many month
