~Aurora.

Standing on my ten toes, I carefully yet quickly scanned the hall in search of Ethan or rather, Alpha Ethan. It was his birthday and coronation today.

The hall was already filled with distinguished men and women from our pack and beyond, but I hadn’t a sight of the celebrant, chuckling softly, I left the hall and made for his room.

He told me the previous day that he was nervous about his coronation, about his kingship, and I tried as much as I could to assure him that everything would be fine but seeing that he was not yet in the hall, I knew he was still anxious.

Ethan, my boyfriend, was a born king and a true leader, and with me by his side as his wife and Luna, I had no doubt that he would lead our pack to success.

I had been heartbroken and in pain, when Ethan and I discovered, not too long ago, that I was not his mate, but my pains were quick to heal when Ethan proposed to me three days ago.

‘I love you, Aurora, and I don’t care what the moon goddess says about you not being my mate because I choose you, Aurora. I want you by my side, always and forever.’ those were exactly his words.

I bit my upper lip to hide my grin from widening, Ethan was the sweetest man to ever exist in the world and I loved him too. 

Upon approaching his room, I paused in my tracks to fully identify the sounds I heard coming from it. The sound was pretty recognizable yet strange because it was the last thing I expected to hear today, at least not from my boyfriend’s room. Narrowing my eyes at the door, I padded my feet closer to the door, and a noise that sounded like a breathless moan filled my ears. I needed no soothsayer to know that the moan was from Ethan because I knew what he sounded like.

“Yes, baby! Yes!” I heard him scream. I felt the blood on my face drain as I froze in front of his door and my hand around his doorknob.

That definitely was Ethan in the room with another woman. His moans, and screams were enough confirmation but, I wanted to see it for myself, to see that I was not jumping to a deadly conclusion. The Ethan I know would never cheat on me, I was certain, I needed to make sure he really was the one inside the room.

Drawing in a deep breath, I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, and I saw him thrusting in and out of a strongly recognizable face. My heart dropped to my stomach as my vision turned hazy, the remainder of the blood on my face flushed. I was nauseous, the food I had that morning churned fiercely and threatened to escape through my mouth. I pressed my palms against both sides of my temples and widened my eyes to make sure they were not deceiving me, but alas! They weren’t.

Ethan, my boyfriend was in bed with Isadora, my sister! My elder sister who was to me the mother I never had. Who was very supportive of my relationship with Ethan.

I wanted to run, everything in me told me to turn and run away without daring to look back, but, I stood there transfixed, watching as she arched her back, watching as she dug her nails into Ethan’s back, and moaned into his ear, watching as Ethan chuckled in content before plastering kisses all over her body.

“The moon goddess has made me the proudest man in the whole world.” He kissed her forehead, “I am the luckiest man alive,” he kissed her lips, “he gave you to me,” he kissed her shoulder and she chuckled, “she gave you, Isadora Aldrich, the most beautiful lady on earth, to me as my Luna and my mate.”

I scoffed, loudly, and chuckled in disbelief as I pushed the door open, the creaking of the hinges coupled with my chuckles was loud enough to distract them.

“Did you need something, Aurora?” Isadora asked in a mocking tone as Ethan pulled out of her with a groan and fell to the bed. "Aurora,” she called in a tone that told that I was a disturbance to them as she sluggishly gathered the duvet to cover her bare chest while Ethan did nothing to cover himself. Had he no shame?

Playfully, he whispered something into Isadora’s ears that made her chuckle and slap his chest playfully before he turned to me and I saw it; the emptiness in his eyes. The deep blue eyes I knew were now void of emotion, not even the faintest glimpse of remorse was in it. Tears clouded my eyes as all the words he said to me three days ago began swimming into my head.

‘I love you, Aurora.’

‘I choose you, Aurora.’

‘I want you.’

‘Always and forever.’ Had he not meant any of those words?

I watched the both of them watch me standing before them like I was some comedy show, wiping my tears, I shook my head in response to Isadora’s question.

“No, I just came to inform Ethan that his guests are waiting.”

“Information gotten, now begone,” Isadora said with a wide smile as Ethan chuckled softly.

“Aurora,” Ethan called and sat up on the bed, “we really did not plan for you to find out like this. We were supposed to make an announcement today after my coronation but, I guess, we got carried away by excitement.” He turned to look at Isadora with a wide smile on his face. That was the same smile he used on me, heck! He and I made a ‘we’ and not Isadora.

I sniffled a scoff back and blinked to push back the tears threatening to roll down my cheeks. "Do you even hear yourself?” I tried to speak in a nonchalant tone, but my emotions had a huge hold on me, making my voice come out in a whisper. "You want to announce to the pack that you are cheating on me with my sister.”

Isadora laughed. “What? No,”

Ethan scoffed and pulled the end of the duvet to cover himself, “I was going to announce Isadora as my mate and Luna.” He turned to Isadora and cupped her face, “The moon goddess has shown me mercy and has given me a goddess like herself as a mate.”

“Bu…but you…you said you didn’t care.” I stuttered.

“Please, Aurora, I am the to-be Alpha of this pack, how can I not care? I decided to go with you because I thought the issue of me getting a mate was a lost cause, but now that I have Isadora,” he turned to me with a grin.

Now that he has Isadora, he has no other option but to discard me, and in an embarrassing way too. Ethan lied to me, he only proposed to me because he had nobody else, he didn’t even love me.

“You said you loved me,” I was fighting against my tears and undoubtedly, I knew they were winning. 

“I do care a lot about you, Aurora.” He now cares, he no longer loves.

“You said you do not care about the mate bond, Ethan.”

He sighed and pushed off the bed, reaching for his boxers and swiftly fitting it around his waist before coming to stand in front of me.

“Tell me you meant all you said to me, Ethan, tell me you are not leaving me for anybody, tell me, Ethan. Look at me and tell me you love me.” I could not believe that I was pleading, pleading that the man I love, the man who used to love me, would love me once more. 

“Enough, Aurora, just stop it.” he groaned as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. “ It is high time you came to terms with this,” he was standing at akimbo. “I was hurt when it was said you weren’t my mate, okay? But for the goddess sake, I am the Alpha of this pack and I need a mate. I had to suppress my desire to have a mate because of you, just to make you happy, and now that I have one, why can’t you let me be happy with her?”

“What about us?”

“I am with Isadora now, make peace with that. Isadora is my mate and Luna and I love her and come what may, I will always choose her.”

I saw the fire in his eyes, when he looked at me, his eyes were void of emotion but, I saw the fire of burning passion in his eyes as he spoke about her. 

My tears won our battle and I let them roll down my cheeks. The two people I loved most in the whole world had betrayed me, and they weren’t making it easy for me. I shifted my eyes to look at my sister, and she was looking back at me with a smirk. She carried her head in her hand which was supported by elbow, creating a hole in the bed. I tore my gaze away from Isadora and back to Ethan to see the fire gone from his eyes and was replaced by rage.

He was angry and at me too. I pressed a palm against my mouth to stop myself from screaming.

How could he? He had no right to be angry. I was the one who was hurt, I was the one who was betrayed, I was the one who should be angry.

“Ethan,” I called out in disbelief.

“Alright now, show time is over.” Isadora said sitting up on the bed, “Ethan, love, I no longer want her here, please send her away.”

“Out the door now, Aurora.”

I scoffed, “You can’t be serious, Ethan.”

Clenching his jaw, he grabbed both my arms and squeezed them by my side, “It’s Alpha Ethan to you now, Aurora, and Isadora is your Luna and I forbid you to show her any form of disrespect. Now leave, before I do something the both of us will turn out to regret.” 

I stared back at him in shock as he shoved me out the door. That was not the Ethan I knew, that was not the Isadora I knew. Having grown up without parents, Isadora and Ethan were the only ones I knew but now, I had no one, and I was alone in the whole wide world.

“Toddles,” I heard Isadora sing after me before Ethan slammed the door in my face.

    ~Aurora. It was already two weeks since my sister's and boyfriend's betrayal and another two weeks since I got confined into a corner of the palace maids' room to work as a personal maid to my sister, Isadora. I had formerly refused to serve her and ran back to our house, only to be greeted by strangers with news that my sister sold our house; Isadora sold the only place I called home. Having no other option, I hung my head between my shoulders and assumed my position as her personal maid, while being fully aware that I would be sharing the same space with Ethan. And speaking of Ethan? Isadora did all she could to rub him and his affection to my face, ever ready to invite me to their private time, she was always inviting me to their room whenever Ethan was around in a disguise of wanting to have a conversation with her sister. The sister she was too quick to betray! I was no sister to Isadora, perhaps, a competition and a quest to conquer, but a sister? That was the least thing s

    ~Aurora. 10 years later. “No, there wouldn't be a need for extra medications, if you stick to what I have recommended, in no time, I promise you, you will be just fine.” I flashed the man sitting across me a smile as he went through the list of drugs I just wrote him. “Just go down the hall to the right, hand the pharmacist the paper, and every other thing will be sorted out for you.” He nodded again, “thank you, doctor, you are indeed a lifesaver.” I gave him my signature smile as he stood up and left the office. Adding his file to the list of cleared patients, I picked up the next patient's file, skimmed through it before ringing the bell to signal her in. She came in, greeted me and I responded with my signature smile just like I have been doing since the day began. If I had been told that in ten years, with the situation surrounding my runaway, that I would be sitting in a well conditioned office and across patients and counselling them, I wouldn't have dared to believe it.

    ~Ethan. My perked up ears paid keen attention to the chatter and murmuring coming from the ground below me as the members of the high court and other elders trooped into the compound and into the courtroom. From my window I watched them coming in small groups of twos and threes, with some of them throwing angry glances towards the direction of the royal chambers. “Are you ready?” I shook my head at the familiar voice but, not in negation, rather in disapproval of his choice of word. “You sound as though they are people I should be scared of,” I replied, my eyes unmoving from the window. “You should. These people are furious at you, and they are searching for a reason to pounce on you, even the slightest misstep from you could cause a fight between you and them.” I chuckled lightly and turned to the voice behind me, the worry in his voice evident in his eyes, “then let’s not give them any reasons to.” Tapping his shoulder lightly, I turned back to the window, with a confirmation th

    ~Aurora. More letters from Sturgeon Moon pack came in within the consequent weeks and when I got tired of shredding them like I did to the first one, I began keeping them in my drawer to collect dust. Their request -asking me to come back to the pack - was absurd. I couldn't help but wonder if Ethan knew that it was me, the same Aurora he banished from his pack, or if my new identity as 'Rory' was keeping him in the dark. The name 'Rory', I knew, was a good disguise, but not good enough to erase the similarity of my original name. Did Ethan really not notice, or was he playing dumb? I was reaching into my drawer to take out the most recent letter when Arne ran into my room to throw himself on the bed. “Mommy's bed is not the playground, Arne,” I cautioned as I kept back the letter and closed the drawer, turning to face him. He chuckled, “Don't blame me, your bed is as bouncy as a bouncing bed. Here,” my face fell at the sight of the familiar seal, “Audrey said I should give it t

    ~Ethan.I dragged my eyes lazily between the two girls dancing before me. It was an eyesore, their presence, and actions, yet I kept my eyes fixed on them to remind myself that I wasn’t who they said I was. I was Ethan Balor, the Alpha king of Sturgeon Moon pack, the one who has imprinted fear and respect in the hearts of all other packs, the king who has elevated his pack to the second richest and most resourceful pack in the whole werewolf kingdom, I was Ethan, I wasn’t less of a man, right?Right?Adjusting myself on the couch, I signaled with my index finger to one of the girls, she was pale skinned with a dark long hair that dropped to her waist. With a wide grin, she cat-walked to me, her boobs bouncing in her loose bra.“At your service, my lord,” she whispered into my ear, slowly running her hands up and down my chest. Her fingers against my skin burned, like my body was being destroyed by some toxic chemical. I wanted to push her away and find my way back to the solace of my

    ~Aurora.If Ethan's jaw hitting the ground gave him off as surprised, then color me shocked. The fact that he acted surprised about seeing me was shocking, if not infuriating. Did he not know I was the doctor or was just so good at lying and pretending? The letters I received had the royal seal, meaning that it was he who addressed the letters to Dr. Rory Aldrich. Dr. Rory Aldrich-me, or did he really not know I was the same person?I blew out the hair on my face to allow myself access to his face. His brows were knitted, and his sea blue eyes bore into me as though they were searching for something crucial, like they could see through my soul.“Is there a problem, Alpha?” A voice asked softly and cleared his throat, and Ethan took his sweet time to drag his eyes away from me and dropped them on Arne.“Did I say there was?” He said slowly as he ran his eyes from the crown of Arne's head to the sole of his feet.All my senses stood on high alert and I made to draw closer to block Eth

    ~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

    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

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

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.

    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!
