Aurora's POV"Father" he had his back turned to me, his gaze fixed outside. I could remember the guards had said something about visitors but they were nowhere to be found."The visitor" I pushed on, wanting an answer, at least I wanted him to know that I had an inkling about the reason I have been called here. "Princess" he turned around, his gaze meeting mine. The light in the room shined on him, illuminating his royal robe. "They are gone" I raised my brows, "So fast?" I had thought they were in some sort of meeting, so why did they have to leave so fast? "They came here, to get a glimpse of the person who would succeed after me, but when you were taking so much time.."" I didn't take that much time father" I interrupted him even when I knew that I shouldn't have, the king wasn't supposed to be interrupted while he was saying something important but that turned out to be something I and my mother do a lot. "I came immediately I was called, not stopping, I came here straight aw
Aurora's POV"I will be fine Mother" I assured her again as I made the way to the car, her hands laced mine tightly as though she didn't want to let me go." You have to be fine, Aurora, you have to" she added as she pulled me closer for a hug, reclining my head on her shoulder, I let her caress me gently. "You have to let her go, Alberta" my father whispered behind her, a stoic look on his face. " She will be fine," he assured her while pulling her close to himself.Dressed in a white suit, one that I had insisted on putting on, I looked beautiful." Take care of her" my father warned Ramon who nodded at the instruction he had been given. I stepped into the car with another behind me. " You have to sit beside me" I insisted when he was about to take a seat in the passenger seat just beside the driver. " But princess""I insist, I hate sitting all alone here, pretty please" I blinked at him. Exhaling sharply, " Fine" he walked around, before opening the door. "Are you okay now?"
Aurora's POV"You have to do everything to save him" I yelled at the nurse as the stretcher was wheeled into the emergency room."You have to, you have to" I ran a hand through my hair, staring blankly at the door into which Ramon was wheeled in.Somehow the car that we had lost came immediately I was being pulled away by the man and had shot them dead. There was nothing, nothing to identify who they were or who had sent them and it made me angry. Knowing that there was no way I was going to avenge Ramon tore me apart, but I had caused this, I was the reason why he was going through this pain. If only I had listened, just if I had listened, I collapsed on the ground, breaking down in tears. My heart seemed to have been shredded into tiny pieces and I needed succor. Something that will make me feel better. His last word came into my ear. "You never listen" But he was so stupid, I had a bulletproof strapped on already, so why exactly had he decided to put his life in danger? I just
Sebastian POVI tapped my well-manicured nails on the table in front of me. I was waiting, waiting for Alpha Dorian to be dragged in here just like I wanted him to but it was taking a long time. Gazing at the wristwatch on my wrist, I hissed angrily. Does this mean that if I didn't do something, no one else will be able to do so? It wasn't dusk yet and a few minutes to twelve, I had to address my people, and no one was supposed to stop me from doing so. No one born of a woman would risk that anyways. I stood up, kicking the chair that I was sitting on to the side. I walked in large strides toward the door but before I could push it open, the scent of blood, raw and recent, strayed into my nostrils. Inhaling sharply, I waited for whoever it was to walk in through the very door that I had attempted on opening. "Here is he" My beta and gamma walked in, holding both of his hands by the side. "How dare you?" His eyes were fixed on me, walking to a cabinet, I drew out the silver chai
Sebastian POVI stood at the balcony, waving at Desdemona who had finally decided to leave after her plan to get me to love her failed. Words have been exchanged, and enemies have been made but still, it was worth it. Remind me not to ever be attracted to someone randomly, would you? "It isn't too late to take her back," my father said. Immediately he stepped into the room. I shook my head disagreeing with him, there was no way that was going to be possible. "Don't tell me you are screwing her also?" I gasped out, feigning surprise" Are you serious?" "There is nothing you wouldn't do, no skirt that you wouldn't hesitate to go under, so what do you expect me to say?" "Besides with the way you keep requesting that I take her back, it is pretty suspicious anyway," I shrugged my shoulders, staring at his eyes when he held my collar.Eyes collided with each other, each one of us waiting for the other to back down but there was no way that was going to happen, not when it was me. Seba
Sebastian's POVLeaning against the wall, I took in breath after breath trying to calm down, I couldn't get rid of what she had said last, it kept flashing through my mind, although I knew that I shouldn't have, I knew I had to when I heard it. Those lies seemed to have been made from the pit of hell but I could tell that they were true. Bethany had uttered it with so much hate that it made my stomach churn. I knew I needed to stabilize my emotions but that can wait for now, very soon the cops will be here, and meeting me there wouldn't be nice especially after I have given them my word. Our worlds were far different from each other and we only saw eye to eye once a year, which was the festival period, where both worlds mixed up like we were one. Throwing the hoodie cap over my face, I got into my car, driving far away. I was going to get wasted and that was it. I had made up my mind to do so. The sorrow I felt couldn't be explained at the moment and I knew drowning myself in alco
Sebastian POVShrugging my shoulders, I shook my head when I saw the look on his face, it had taken everything in me not to punch him because he had stayed hours in a particular spot as though he was transfixed to the spot immediately I had told him what happened. Throwing on my clothes, I knew that I had to go back soon, pushing the thought out of my head, I sauntered with Karen who kept muttering out words of how it was hard for him to believe still. But who cares? I guess it was my fate "Shit! My car" I palmed my forehead when I was greeted with an empty space. "Will be here soon" The look on Karen's face showed that he was being sympathetic to me but I didn't need it. What had been done had been done and there was no going back. Besides, it was something that wouldn't be easy to rectify."Thank you" I tapped his shoulders, "And stop staring at me with such a look on your face" I rolled my eyes at him, I didn't like that. He nodded his head before walking toward his car. My car
Aurora's POVWith my head placed on the bed close to Ramon, I held his hands and whispered the same prayers as I have been doing for weeks to Selina. "Please Selina, let him come back to me" I pleaded, it has been weeks, and still, he was in his comatose state, the doctor had said having someone who he loved or cherish would help him wake up quickly and I searched all over, for his family but there was none. Knowing he was alone in this world, with no one to call his own, pricked my heart. So here I was, reading my favorite novels to him and watching him all day long. At a point he had loved me, at least he had told me he had. "Roselyn," I placed a hand on my lips urging her not to make a sound. I couldn't afford that. Not now. "Aurora" she placed a foot into the room, taking a long glance at Ramon and she shook her head. "Do you think you should be doing this, Aurora?" She handed over the bag she was holding. I took it and placed it gently beside me. "Him" "What about him?" He
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
