Sebastian POVGritting my teeth angrily, I forced myself to chew the food which was placed in front of me gently. Somehow, Desdemona had managed to convince my parents to let her stay the night, and with the way she kept chatting happily with my mother and my father, placing side dishes on her plate, I was sure they were beginning to like her already."Selina, what have I done to deserve this?" I bemoaned in my heart. Turning to look at Desdemona, I couldn't get over what she had said earlier on, about a ghost in my room, if there was, who would it be? Would it be the maid? Her autopsy. What was keeping the pack doctor from coming forth with the results which I needed? I needed to get him to hurry up,"Here, you should eat more" Desdemona smiled at me after placing a piece of meat in my food.Placing the spoon on the plate, causing it to clatter against the plate in front of me."Did I tell you to do that?" "What?" I blurted out angrily, a leg had kept kicking me underneath the tabl
Sebastian's POV"Arrgh" she grunted softly, as I strode over to her, after flicking on the light which illuminated the room, picking her up as though she weighed nothing, I hissed when her eyes reverted to their amber color, showing that she had done that when she wasn't sane. "What do you think you are doing?" I asked emotionless, without an ounce of sympathy. If she was sent here on someone's directives, then I was ready to know who it was who had wanted me down. I would hunt him/her down to the ends of the earth and give him or her the most painful death he could wish for. "Sebastian, please" she pleaded, as the grip on her neck tightened, there was no way I was going to listen to her pleas if she didn't give me an answer.With air being knocked out of her lungs with every minute that passed, her eyes turned black. Letting her drop to the ground, she scurried around, searching around for her clothes which she quickly placed on.I must say, she was a sight to behold when naked an
Aurora's POV"You have to wake up, princess" a voice whispered into my ear. "Let me be, Roselyn, I am still feeling sleepy, shush" Placing the blanket over my head, I had hoped that she would let me be but I was forced to sit upright when she yanked it off my head, the cold air hitting me.With her eyes staring at me, I blinked severally, pouting my lips. "I am still feeling sleepy" I flung my legs while pouting still."You have to go for your training, princess" With hands clenching the blanket I had over me, I grunted softly when I thought of seeing Ramon again, there was no way I would be able to give this up, it had stretched for too long."Is something wrong?" I shook my head at her, forcing a smile on my face. "Are you sure?" She went on, I nodded firmly, letting her know everything was alright. Getting off the bed, I sauntered toward the bathroom. Today was going to be a long day for me, especially with Ramon in it already.Turning on the faucet, I splashed water on my face
Aurora's POVWith a hand clasped over my mouth, I could feel my heart in pain when Ramon knelt on the ground immediately I had walked away, did I hurt him? Would he be able to forgive me? Would things ever go back to the way it was?Oh! Aurora! What have you done? I clenched my fist as I watched him scream out in pain. Did I do that? Placing a foot forward, I walked a step further intending to console him when a hand jerked me back,Hitting a sturdy chest, I had thrown a punch at the face, when whoever it was, evaded it and pulled me close instead, holding my arm. " What do you think you are doing?" "Jackson" I was shocked, pushing him away. I stood at a distance, "What are you doing here?" Sighing in relief, he looked above my head toward the field. "Somehow my heart couldn't stop racing when I found out where you were" He patted his heart, as though it would prove a point. "So?" My gaze darkened as I waited for him to say something else. All I was waiting for was for him to say
Aurora's POV"Hell!No!" I screamed out at Jackson while reclining on the car head, "What is wrong?" He questioned, as though he was stunned when he knew what he had done. "You knew, didn't you?" I asked him because there was no certain way he would tell me he didn't know, "What exactly are you thinking of?" He pushed the door open, stepping out of it. " Don't tell me you are thinking of doing something which shouldn't happen" He had a hand over his mouth.Glaring at him, I stepped out, hitting the door hard, hoping that he would know how angry I was. So much for thinking that he was going to take me somewhere else aside from his house. But on second thought, his house looked beautiful, a beautiful fountain stood at the mistake from which water sprung forth, giving a homely ambiance to the house.Flowers lined up by the side, and there was a beautiful greenhouse by a side, tiny light illuminated the house, alluring scents serenaded the house and somehow, it calmed me down. "Come
Sebastian POVRunning a hand on the document placed in front of me, I couldn't stop thinking of what Desdemona had said last, about a secret that will shatter my family and take this position from me. Running my hands on the surface, I shook my head. There was no way I was going to lose it, no matter what was going to happen, even if it meant shedding blood, I was ready to do it if it meant protecting my position as Alpha. "Damn these secrets' ' I cursed out loud, everyone seemed to have a secret that they didn't want the other to know.First, it was my father, now me, and then my mother. Sighing, I turned to the door to see the pack doctor walk in, a huge bulky file in his arms."Finally" I gazed at him, as his gaze met the tile. Not wanting to gaze at me. "What took you so long?" I demanded an answer, if he still wanted to be the pack doctor, somehow he had to show it but his recent attitude didn't.I didn't pay him millions for him to act in such a manner. "Sorry, Alpha Sebastia
Laden's POVI didn't know how to feel when I saw Sebastian straddling a woman but I knew that I was vexed, I waited for him to dismiss the strange woman who had stood up and seemed to be arranging her clothes properly. It hasn't been up to a year since Aurora left, it was barely even four months and already he was rolling around with different girls even in the office which was supposed to be sacred."Get out" I watch Sebastian point out at the door to her, but she clung onto him tightly, not wanting to leave. With my hands folded by my side, I swallowed while thinking of what to do. On a second thought, I was glad that Aurora never saw this because if she had, she would have been heartbroken. "I. Said. Get. Out" Sebastian repeated and grudgingly, she walked away but not before brushing her shoulders on mine.Immediately, the door was shut. I released my palm which was clenched earlier. "Why are you here?" Sebastian asked when he was done chasing the strange woman out. Holding th
Aurora's POVA smile crept on my face as I let my hands wander to the bed, the side on which I was sure as hell Jackson would be lying. Although we hadn't gone over the board last night, I had enjoyed last night, touching a surface cold and devoid of warmth, I flicked my eyes open."Jackson '' I whispered, a million thoughts going through my mind. Has he deserted me? Calm down Aurora, calm down and think. But I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried to, I just couldn't. Running my hands through my blonde hair which was scattered, a sigh escaped my lips as I fidgeted with my fingers, thinking of the possibility of that happening, Gazing at the door when it creaked, I felt my heart limp as I stared in a daze at the handsome fellow walking in, "Stop drooling" Jackson whispered into my ear, causing me to blink momentarilyRaising a finger to my lips, I intended to wipe off the drool but there was none," How dare you tease me?" I yelled out at him, attempting to race after him when he re
Aurora's POV" How long are they going to take before they get here?" I asked Ramon anxiously, he had Lilith on his shoulder and once again, I was being relegated to the background. Lilith had stolen her father from me and I was left gawking at the love they had. " They should be here soon, it wouldn't take more than ten minutes, be patient, " he turned around, a smile on his face as he leaned forward before planting a kiss on my baby bump.We had been arguing nonstop about how I wanted a boy but he kept insisting he wanted a girl just like Lilith and that he was fine with just girls. I placed a hand on my forehead, it seemed to be aching all of a sudden." Wifey" I felt a hand wrapped around my waist, and I let out a grunt when he kept massaging it gently. " Thank you" I was grateful for his help, it wasn't easy being a royal consort and still being good in bed, I had to keep commending his efforts at all times. "It is nothing, come" I sat on the couch, this wasn't easy, giving b
Aurora's POVI collapsed on the bed immediately after I got in not wanting anyone who would distract me. It hasn't been easy and although I had kept saying this was my honeymoon and I wasn't going to work, I just couldn't stop myself from working, with the work piling up, Ramon was forced to step in and assist me but still, I couldn't bring myself to make him do everything. " Wifey" he whispered as he pushed the door open. I quickly turned my face to the side, not wanting to engage in whatever he was going to say. Dude kept doing the same thing, making love to me until I couldn't feel my legs anymore. I squeezed my eyes tightly, not wanting him to catch on. " Are you sleeping?" His face hovered over mine for a while and I could see that he was pouting his lip, was he disappointed? I had never taken him for that, a pang of pain shot through me, I had thought that he would be persistent and would flip me over but I think that I had wished for too much. He leaned closer, his lips pl
Aurora's POV" Princess please you have to sit tight and you aren't supposed to see the royal consort before getting married" I banged my fist on the table, gritting my teeth angrily." Who made such rules besides why can't I meet him? It isn't like I haven't seen all that is to be seen already so why are you guys insisting that I stay here?" " Language Aurora" my mother shunned from behind me, I pouted my lips gently, while fixing my gaze on her."Mother, but that is the truth, why can't I see Ramon? I need to see him because I cannot think and I am so anxious, how exactly will I know that he isn't planning to run away from the marriage when he is being called a royal consort? Gosh, who placed these rules in the first place?" I was vexed, deeply vexed, if I could see whoever it was, I was going to make sure he or she paid for it. "It is a bad omen to see your husband before your marriage and it has been there for centuries and so tell me why exactly do you intend to jinx it?" " H
Aurora's POVI stared at the door, where my mother stepped in from, with a smile on her face. " If you are here to advise me to have a change of mind, I wouldn't so please leave" I pointed at the door to her, not wanting to engage in any small talk. " I wouldn't be doing that but I want to talk to you, don't you think you are behaving so rashly? Do you think you would be able to cope with the guilt if you kill them all, you know, it isn't too late for you to have a change of heart,"I exhaled deeply before fixing my gaze on her. " I wouldn't be saving your brother, Mother, I am going to make sure I watch as he is being plunged into the sea, writhing in pain and I am going to stand there giving instructions to make him suffer because I do not give mercy"She gasped out, looking stunned. "Tell me you didn't just say that, how exactly are you going to sleep knowing that you caused the death of countless people?""Mother" I screamed out at her, it wasn't my intention to do so but I had
Aurora's POVI glanced around, staring at everyone who was in the dungeon, a smile cascading down my face as I made my way down. " Princess," the guards gasped out in shock when they saw me step into the dungeon. " You don't have to do that" I chided them, taking a step backward when he intended to walk closer to me, " I just want to know how my prisoners are doing, I need you to bring two of them out"I pointed at the cell that held Zeeb and his son, "On second thought, don't" I stopped them. If I was going to do this then, I wanted him to see how futile all of his efforts were going to be. I wanted to see the raw desire to hurt Karen in his eyes but he wouldn't be able to. " Hello there Roselyn, I hope you are having a great day in there because I am and I am going to make sure you pay, you are going to pay for everything, mark my words" The smile on my face faded as soon as it had come on it when I saw what Roselyn was doing. "Any funny play, anyone and you all will go down
Aurora's POV" Father" I shut my eyes tightly when he pulled me closer to himself, his lips touching my forehead as tears clouded his eyes," For a moment, princess, I thought that I had lost it all, I thought that everything I had in my life was going, starting from the most precious human in my life, how exactly did you cope? Who assisted you? I do not know why but I feel I owe the person a lot, and I have to reciprocate, I have to thank the person for saving you, my priceless jewel" I smiled faintly at what he had just said, " You do not have to do that, he does not want anything unless…."" Here he is" Somehow I had felt his presence from miles away as he ran down, he had been screaming my name, and searching for me through the mind link,I watched as my father's face contorted into a surprised one, definitely, I could tell he wasn't expecting the person to be Ramon, he seemed to be the last person on his mind, especially after he had been treated unfairly. "Your majesty" Ramon
Alberta's POV"Julius, did you hear that? The sound of the gun, does that mean we are going to be killed? But my brother said that he wouldn't, what is happening?"" Your brother this…your brother that, how can you still call someone who is that heartless your brother, someone who joined Zeeb to kill our child, our only heir, how exactly?''I didn't know what answer I was going to give, I was drained, all of my strength seemed to have been sapped and I couldn't think properly. The fact that I was locked in here didn't help matters, all of the maids who came in here with our food kept saying one thing. That the mansion was devoid of humans as most people had been driven away. What were they trying to achieve by that? First, I couldn't bring myself to cry anymore, I had cried ceaselessly until I couldn't anymore, it had been months since Aurora went missing and my life had become dark, just the way it was before she left and now, I was in here anticipating death with the man I love. "
Aurora's POV"Home'' was the first word that slipped out of my lips immediately after I stepped onto the shores of Arizona. The gentle air that hit my skin reminded me of how good it was to be back and how a lot of lives depended on me.Still dressed in my clothes from earlier, I slipped on a gun after making sure it was filled with bullets. "Are you sure you still recall the tunnel?" Ramon asked, yet again. I get that perhaps he was paranoid and wanted everything to work out fine but he was beginning to get on my nerves already. "Yes" I answered him again, how could I ever forget? The lives of men…hundreds of them depended on me and I wasn't going to risk them, although we had decided to catch them off guard. There was nothing that would assure that so I had to be careful with my dealings."Come on'' he raised his hands, giving the signal we had agreed we would use. "Come here," I ambled toward him, fixing my eyes on him. His hands slinked on my clothes, his eyes holding mine. "
Aurora's POVI clenched my hands into a fist while staring at her, there was no way I would be able to refuse that I wasn't the one especially with me standing by her side, and I could see that she was trying to hold herself from touching me. "Aurora" she gulped in, holding her hands tightly. I stood still, blinking back the tears that threatened to drop because I couldn't let them drop, it would show how much of a weakling I was which wouldn't be great now. I placed a hand over my face, covering my face with the veil, it had lifted while I was getting out of the car and that was how she had seen me, was I joking? I knew that she would have been able to tell it was me from a distance, I had spent more than a decade of my life with her so it was expected. "I will be right there Aurora, all you have to do is scream for me if you need me and I will come running over" he blew a kiss at me, before walking away.Left to face my past all alone, I took in a sharp intake of breath, trying t
