~Aurora.

I couldn't understand what I was thinking, getting close to Ethan like that, holding him in my arms and breathing his air. I should have known that ten years wouldn't change anything, it couldn't. I should have seen the blaring signs, I should have listened to my head when it told me to stay far away from him.

Ethan Balor.

Those eyes of his were my Achilles' heels and his lips, I was certain, would be my downfall. Perhaps, more than it did to me years ago.

It is all in the past now, Aurora. I said to myself as I ran.

I needed to get it into my head that I couldn't reconnect to the past, especially when the said past was a handsome demon that threatened the life of my innocent child.

I couldn't afford to cave in, if not for myself, for the sake of Arne who had nothing to do with our past relationships and terrible end.

You can't give in, Aurora.

I was out of breath when I got to the guest quarters and already wheezing as I pushed the door and stepped into the room.

    ~Ethan.With a clenched jaw and palms fisted by my side, I watched Mom sob into Hadria's shoulders. Her grip on Hadria was tight, as though Hadria would be some sort of support if Aurora were to say anything bad.I turned my eyes back to Aurora, who was bent over Dad at the same time as she stood up straight. Her gaze met mine and her eyes dilated; they were slashed with worry and pity -those emotions which I couldn't deny worried me.Her eyes scanned the three of us, and we kept our gazes on her, waiting to hear the good or bad -dear goddess please - news from her.Hanging her stethoscope around her neck, she locked her fingers in front of her, “I have managed to stabilize his heartbeat, he is good for now but, we will have to place him on close examination to avoid such a thing repeating itself again. And Hadria too.” She briefly looked up at Hadria before returning her gaze to Mom.Mom exhaled deeply as she sniffled back her tears, “thank you so much, Aurora. I don't know what we w

    ~Aurora.Something had happened, I wasn't sure what it was. Something changed in me, in Ethan, again, I wasn't sure what it was but, I was certain it was a type of that I didn't want.It was certainly the type of change I didn't want.As I made my way to the guest quarters, I couldn't help but think of how in sync our hearts had been when I hugged him. I shouldn't have hugged him, I knew, but, I couldn't have ignored him also, not when he was so fragile and vulnerable at that moment.I mean, Ethan almost dropped a tear.Arne was already fast asleep when I stepped into the room almost breathless, the blanket with which he was covered was already pooled at his feet and I immediately figured he had long been asleep. Sighing, my eyes darted around the room; the time read something minutes to eleven pm and with the trolley of food still in the room, I could that the nanny had been with Arne just as Sam as promised.Quickly, I stepped into the bathroom to freshen up, as I hadn't gotten the

    ~Ethan.The girls started trooping in the day after the conversation I had with Mom but, even with all my attempts to concentrate on them, I could not seem to shake away the thoughts of my encounter with Aurora the previous night.One minute, I was heading back to my chambers and the next, I had my hands around her neck, trying my very best to keep myself from pushing her against the wall and claiming those luscious lips of hers.Her stubbornness aroused me. She was a sweet temptation and one thing was certain, I would not be able to hold myself back for long. It was only a matter of time before my strange surging desires for her consumed me and transformed me into something I wouldn't be able to control.The girl in front of me chatted away like she and the four other girls before her and the three others next to her had been trained and wired to do. Perhaps, I was supposed to be happy that finally, I was about to find the woman who would birth my successor but, the meeting with the

    ~Aurora.I narrowed my eyes and darted then between that two men. I was never aware that Ethan knew Reginald and otherwise. How did they even know each other?Throughout my stay in Sturgeon Moon pack, I had never, for once, met Reginald not to talk more of knowing that he knew Ethan. I only got to meet Reginald eight years ago when I went to seek a job in his hospital, and it was a bit awkward learning he knew Ethan.Reginald soon broke into a smile as he spread his arms wide and moved to Ethan.“Dude! Look at you.”Ethan smiled wider than I had seen him do in a long time as he moved to Reginald. They both locked each other in a tight embrace and patted each other's back. I couldn't take my eyes off them. For some reason I couldn't tell, it was hard to settle with the fact that Reginald knew Ethan and Ethan knew Reginald.“Man, I can't believe I am actually seeing you,” Reginald chimed cheerfully. “How long has it been, man? Thirteen years?”Ethan chuckled, “Eleven years, Reggie.”“D

    ~Ethan.“Man, Aurora is good at what she does, you know that right. I mean, that's why you called her down here.” Reginald said once Aurora was out of our sights, dragging me back to the present.I nodded, “Yeah, I know.” I managed to put on a smile, deep down, I was uncomfortable with the way he was casually talking about Aurora and Greece?What the fuck was that about?“I was quite worried when she told me she was going to be unavailable for some time and I only got to rest when I found out she was here because I trust that you will take care of her, yeah?” He asked rhetorically before looking up at Tiffany, who was still standing with her arm around mine.“You know she came back,” I raised a brow, and he nodded, “yeah, after she got better, she decided to come back home.”“Is she okay, though? Did the plague get her?”“No, she is fine but,” he exhaled deeply, “I have to go be with her right now. You know mothers and how they can be. Let's catch up some other time.” I took his outst

    ~Aurora.Arne became best friend's with Kelly in the subsequent weeks after our arrival. Though he claimed Audrey was his best friend forever, I knew him and Kelly would go a long way. I was always grateful for their friendship, and that evening was one of the days I was most grateful for them. After Arne and me left the park, we headed straight for the palace where we ran into Kelly on our way to our room and Arne sought immediately Kelly's company, giving me the change to find my way to Jessie. I loved my son but most days, I just wanted to forget everything and get lost in my head, to forget who I was and who he wa-Dammit! Not now brain!Jessie wasn't in the room the maids said was hers, so I ventured further into the kitchen and found her dishing out instructions. A billion sighs and a puppy eyes later, we made out to the garden.“Who would believe it's the first time we're seeing eye to eyes in weeks, even though we live in the same compound.” Jessie said as she sat on the ston

    ~Ethan.Aurora's reaction wasn't what I was expecting, but then, what really was I expecting? That she went on her knees and begged me not to marry another lady? That she told me I was stuck in her head the same way she has been stuck in mine since we met again.There was really nothing to say, even though I had expected her to say something. Anything at all. Aurora had moved on with her life, and it was high time I did too since the fate of the throne continuing throughout my generation depended on me.Tiffany was fun and smart and different and I liked her too, so why was I feeling bad about that? Why was the idea of starting afresh with her not settling well with me?On getting to the royal chambers, I stomped past my room and climbed up the rooftop. My mind was far occupied to welcome any amount of sleep in it, and honestly, I didn't really want to sleep. I wanted to think, to get lost in my head and maybe, just maybe, finally get Aurora out of it.The wind rustled against my hair

    ~Aurora.I have never felt as powerless as I was right now. For the first time in my life, my brain, and mind could not provide any proper suggestion for a real life problem. My mind was numb, my brain, dead, and my eyes, overflowing with tears.It was a really terrible thing to watch, heck! It was the worst experience of my life. Seeing my son quivering and shaking from some illness was worse than what I have experienced throughout my years of work. “Call an ambulance!” a voice yelled as the door to my room burst open as Ethan ran in with Sam racing behind him. “Call an ambulance, Sam!” He rounded the bed and took Arne in his arms, “hey son, keep your eyes open you hear me, keep your eyes open,”I had noticed Arne’s increased temperature last night after my conversation with Ethan but for some reason unknown to me, I brushed it off only to wake up in the middle of the night to a crying and shivering Arne. I panicked and shouted and Sam, who I supposed was doing his rounds, heard me.

    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
