Sebastian POVWith a smile on my face, one that widened as I thought of the answer that I had been given, I sauntered out of the hospital, getting into the car. "Drive" I barked out the order at the driver who was sitting looking speechless. " Alpha but…""Eeshhh" I hissed, loud enough for him to hear and shut up. " When you are given an order, it will do you good if you follow it to the letter'' I reclined against the chair when the key was inserted into the ignition and the car drove away, with fist clenched by my side, I thought of how Laden had acted. Rubbing my thumb on my head gently, a sigh escaped from my lips, I was going to give him days, just days to come back and apologize for insulting me in such a way or be demoted from the position he was currently in. I had all of the power to do that anyway. The sound of a phone ringing snapped me out of my daydream, letting out a sigh, I picked up the phone which must have fallen on the couch. "We have to do all that we can to
Sebastian POV"Wait!" He placed a hand out as though he was trying to stop me from coming closer, and he gritted his teeth, wincing in pain when his back came in contact with the wall and I placed a hand on his neck."How long have you had such weird thoughts toward her?" I spelled it out to him, my gaze darkening at every word that I uttered out of my lips. " Sebastian, please" he pleaded at me, but I tightened my grip on his neck, while waiting for an answer from him. "Fine" I squinted my eyes at him as he uttered the word with so much difficulty and I couldn't think straight anymore when I felt my back against the wall and he stood with a smirk on his lips. I had thought he had taken it as one of our squabbles so what was happening? "Howw.." I asked with so much pain shooting through my body as I tried to glance at him. Just for a moment there, I had him cornered, but now, there he stood, a smile on his face while running his tongue on his lips. Stretching a hand forward, I a
Sebastian POVGiving Karen a dead stare, my hand clenched on the bottle I was holding. "What do you intend to do?" I flicked the bottle to the side, not minding the pieces that scattered all over the place. "My father had given me an assignment'' he gazed at me for a minute before letting out a sigh, one that showed how conflicted he was. "And it involves killing someone which you know I haven't done before, so I am a little bit confused on how exactly I am going to do it, I do not want to be seen as a weakling by my father, Sebastian" he bared out his heart to me." If you do not want to do it, then don't but you should know that your father has a reason for asking you to do that, so tell me Karen"I placed a hand underneath my chin. " Why are you not taking a stance?" I hated whatever he was doing, he was a man. "You ought to do so and stop confusing me, we both know that in order to get some things done, we ought to do whatever it is just to survive, and…" " Where is the Seba
Sebastian POVWith a hand placed on my cheek, I glared at my mother who was fuming in anger, her veins bulged out and I could tell that she was trying to hold herself. "What exactly did you tell Laden, oh you foolish child?" She asked, her hands moved to her forehead caressing it gently before slumping on the couch.I watched her kick her slippers to the side, lacing both of her hands together while waiting for me to answer. "What exactly is happening?" I needed them to know that I wasn't that little child anymore which they could whip at any time. Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to stare at her before asking, "How could you lay your hands on me?" "Sebastian…. you" I raise a hand to halt her, not wanting to hear what she intended to say next. "And for Laden, mother, aren't you supposed to have a little trust in your son?" I inquired, gazing straight at her. I was helpless against her, this was my mother here, and she was one of the reasons why I was born into this earth and I c
Aurora's POV"You cannot be serious, Mother" I ran a hand through my messy hair, walking toward my room. I couldn't believe what it was that I was hearing, how was I going to do that? "You promised" I reminded her"I know Aurora but you need to go outing, it is just a date and nothing else" she answered, causing me to let out a sigh, before slumping onto my bed. "Aurora" she called out gently, sitting beside me. "I knew I had promised not to interfere with your love life, but baby girl" her hands patted my chin, caressing it gently. "You need someone to show you around, Arizona is filled with beautiful things which I am sure you will love to see and Jackson is the best person to do that" " Ramon is there to do that, Mother" I reminded her." The same person you have been avoiding for a while now?" I gulped in my spittle as what she had just said hit me. Or wasn't he the one avoiding me instead? I haven't seen him for a while since he kissed me. A finger strayed to my lips which I
Aurora's POVSauntering toward the car door which Jackson had flung open with his hand firmly holding the handle. I let out a breath of air, taking a glance around my surrounding I couldn't fix my hand in it but something seemed to be pulling me toward a particular direction."Ramon" Although I was tempted to chase after him, I decided against it. I didn't want news going around talking about how I was screwing my instructor."Touche" Jackson uttered, his gaze fixed on mine. "Those beautiful eyes of yours shouldn't be straying when there is a whole meal in front of you" He winked at me, causing me to roll my eyes at him. I was glad I wasn't eating yet because I was sure as hell that I was going to choke on my food. "Language Jackson" I placed a foot into the car before sitting on it. Its interior was exquisite and I couldn't stop myself from complimenting how beautiful it looked."It is beautiful" My hands patted the headboard gently, immersed in how soft it looked. " The latest
Aurora's POVStanding in front of the huge restaurant which was empty and no soul was in it, I didn't need any soothsayer to tell me Jackson had booked the restaurant just for the date, and I didn't know how to feel. Happy or excited? Rather I felt numb"Candace" I read the name placed on the board, before putting a leg forward intending to step forward when a hand wrapped itself around my wrist. "We should go in together, princess" His face had a smile that one would wonder what exactly was amusing him. Letting out a long sigh, I let him wrap his hands on my wrist before walking in together. Arizona was beautiful and although the responsibility that had fallen on me was huge, something within me tells me that I would be fine, not that I had a choice anyways. The chef came running immediately after he saw who had just walked in, donning a smirk on his lips and his nose which seemed a little bit crooked, he rubbed both of his hands together."Greetings your…" I shook my head and int
Aurora's POVWith my hands wrapped firmly around her wrist, I pulled her alongside me. Although she was adamant, I was stronger, thanks to the training I had been going through recently. "Princess" she pleaded, desperation coating her tone. " You cannot run again anymore" I countered her, a smile on my face, not wanting to give her a chance to go away."You have to know it was for your own good, a lowly omega like me shouldn't be seen around you" she spoke in between gritted teeth, causing me to halt in my steps. Was she being maltreated? Just because she didn't have her wolf side yet? I could see myself in her, the past me who was with Sebastian, I could see it and I didn't want her to feel that way. "Come here"A screeching sound pierced through the air causing me to glare at Jackson. "If she thinks she shouldn't be here, then let her go, Princess, and focus on me" His words made me scoff. " Greetings Duke of Easton" the girl beside me greeted. " You know him?" I pointed at Ja
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
