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 POVWith a stunned look on my face, I glanced at my father, his chest heaving up and down slowly in anger, what was going on here? All of this had happened in a twinkle of an eye when no one was expecting it"Your majesty" Jackson was stunned just as I was, I couldn't get my hands on what exactly had prompted this, why he had to slap him in front of me. Me. "What has he done?" I demanded an answer, my fist clenched by my side as I gritted my teeth, A hand held my arm tightly, wanting to stop me from going on but I wasn't having it. Shrugging my arms from my mother's hold, I sauntered toward my father, demanding an answer. "Aurora" my mother shrieked out behind me, but I wasn't having it. "Please stop" she pleaded, "He shouldn't have done that Mother," Fuming with anger, my father took a step backward, disbelief was written on his face. "Are you going to talk back to me because of that thing behind you?" He questioned, with a tight smile on his lips, "Aurora, please stop
Aurora's POVA tap on the door resonated through the room I was in, making me stir on the bed. It had been days since my last argument with my father and I haven't left the room unless I had to. Somehow Jackson seemed to have crept on my skin, and even though our first encounter was a disaster, somehow I love how comfortable I was around him. The knock on the door went off again, this time louder than the last, and sitting upright on the bed, I screamed out my lungs. "Come in" I fixed my gaze on the door, knowing fully well that there was no way it was going to be Roselyn, she just walks in right away, if I do not answer."Princess'' seeing who it was, I turned my back to the side, not wanting to stare at him."What do you want, Father?" "Wouldn't you take a look at me?" Sighing out, " So I have thought about my actions and I know that I am wrong and… you can go to meet him, I have removed the ban I had placed and now, he can come to the palace when you want him to" I bit on my
Aurora's POVFlashing a smile at my father as I sat on the long dining table which was usually used for breakfast, I forced myself to eat even when I knew that there was no way I would be able to stomach food at the moment. Scooping the soup which was placed in front of her elegantly, "Don't you like it, princess?" My mother asked, I flashed a weak smile at her, hoping that it would dispel whatever thought she was having although I knew that it was almost impossible for that to happen. "Roselyn" "Mother…" I grunted, placing the spoon I was holding down. "Not again" I shook my head at her. Since the day I had breezed in from Jackson's place, I had refused to utter a word about what had happened that day no matter how many questions were thrown at me and I didn't know why, was I protecting him from my father's wrath? Or was it just that I felt pity for him? I just couldn't tell which was it but still, I wasn't going to utter a word. She laced my hands in hers tightly, as though she
Sebastian's POV"Yes," I cheered happily, throwing a fist up in the air. It had taken everything in me not to ask my mother what was the secret she was hiding. I needed to know but on second thought, I decided against it.I was a man and as a man, I knew what I was going to do. Search through all of the earth, for Bethany and finally, there was a lead. Desdemona had kept the location hidden to herself, saying that she didn't remember but now, I felt fulfilled. Throwing on a suit, I could feel it in the air. Today was going to be a good day. It has been a long time since we last had the full moon party and today, it had been prophesied that we were going to have a full moon. I as the Alpha had to give the opening speech so whatever I had to do, I had to do it quickly and get back. Sliding my gun into my pocket, after checking its chamber to make sure it was filled with bullets, I grinned further. Although I had a lot of trust in my claws, I knew the gun might come in handy later on
Sebastian POV"Nice attempt" I smirked, holding the pillow which Des had hurled at me. "You have to stop doing this" I threw the pillow to the side before stepping into the room, shutting the door behind me. I could still feel it, the gun I had in my pocket seemed to be pulling me down with it. "I. Said. Get. Out" she yelled angrily, hurling what was closest to her at me. "Bring it on Des, I have all of the strength in me" I watched as her hands fell slack beside her. "You derive a weird pleasure from tormenting me, don't you?" " Nope, I don't" Her face showed how tired she was and I knew that she needed to rest. " How did you get pregnant? Even after the pills, I force-fed you?" I asked curiously, taking a seat on the chair just across from her. "You look devilish handsome, you know," Des smiled softly, her eyes straying on my body as though I was food to her. Chuckling softly, she added. "The sort of villain that you have no other choice than to end up falling up" " Your tal
Sebastian POV"You aren't supposed to be here" they were all dressed in black trousers and a black long-sleeved top except for one who was dressed in a red robe. "You do not tell me what to do and what not to do" the one dressed in red robe uttered arrogantly, making me chuckle at his nerves. Laden stood by my right, and Karen stood at the left, somehow I had managed to pull them away from their offices before coming here directly together with them and I knew with them by my side, it was going to be bloody."Whose orders are you here on?" There was no way I was going to believe that it was the government because we had their words already that they wouldn't trespass the land. It had happened before and after what they had seen and were made to go through, they were forced to give up. "The government" he stretched out a paper, one which Laden took from his palm when I nodded at him to do so.Glancing through the paper, I could see from how knitted his brows were that he was findin
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" 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
