Aurora's POV"No" I screamed out loud at Sebastian who had his arms wrapped around mine firmly, his nails dug into my hand making it sip out blood. "You cannot do this to me, not now, please" I pleaded with him to have a change of mind, this cannot be happening to me, not now. " I Sebastian Tala of the red moon pack rejects you Aurora as my mate, you are just a weak human and I need someone who would be able to fight with me in battles just like my mother did with my father,"I shook my head, refusing to listen to what he was saying, there was no way I was going to accept what he had just said. I was his rightful mate, his Luna. I was supposed to be by his side at all times but now, I was being discarded like a piece of trash and it hurt."I will learn, I am ready to learn just so I can fight by your side, please" I pleaded with him while trying to fight back the torrent of tears that threatened to slip down my cheek. "Sebastian please, have a second thought about this and then we
Sebastian POVI paced up and down the hallway as I thought of what had just happened a while ago. "Yes, I just made the right decision, my mother was helpful to my father and I deserve someone who would be as strong as she was" I muttered to myself. I didn't want to think about the look on Aurora's face when I told her to die, she was obviously in pain but I didn't care.There was no way I was going to marry a weakling and have her as my Luna, there was no way that would have happened. Aurora couldn't even protect herself from the rogues who had attacked the pack three years ago and she had caused the lives of my pack members who had placed their lives on the line just to protect her. "I deserve someone better, someone who will fight by my side, someone who isn't a weakling"I muttered to myself. I had lost all hope when I found out my mate was the same person she was two years ago. After her eighteenth birthday, I had hoped her wolf would come but it didn't no matter how hard we
Aurora's POV I tried to flick my eyes open but I couldn't, not when I could sense the sun rays burning my skin, I wondered what exactly was happening and where I was.I finally forced my eyes open and placed a hand on my eyes, shutting out the sun rays that filtered in. If I could remember, I had jumped down the cliff after being belittled by Sebastian and finding out the truth from my parents."Good morning princess Aurora" I heard two voices greet me in unison and I removed the hands which I had placed on my eyes, sitting upright on the bed I was on."Am I in heaven?" I muttered out loud as I gazed at the two women who were standing before me and were dressed in white. Their skin was pearly white and it was nothing as I had seen before, I gazed at them with my mouth agape, in admiration. "This must be heaven" I concluded as I gazed at the decorations in the room which were white and they were beautiful. "Welcome back to Arizona kingdom, princess" one of them had a smile on thei
Aurora's POV I bit hard into my lip as I thought of the perfect answer to give, I was fidgeting and I didn't even know until my mum hugged me tightly. "I gave it all, mother," I turned my gaze from my father until it landed on my mother. I was waiting to see the disapproval on their faces but there was none. "I gave it all to one man, my body, my soul, and even my heart, I thought that he was worth it all but he turned out to be the worth mistake in my life" " He belittled me, called me names, made me hate myself just because I wasn't a wolf and I wasn't fit enough to be his mate," " Mother he humiliated me, made me wish that I was dead, and when I got home and found out the truth that I was adopted, my heart shattered" I sniffed while blinking severally. " I got home to inform my parents of what Sebastian had just but there, at that very moment, I heard that I was adopted, they loved me, mother, my adopted parents did" " They treated me well and I would have never wished for so
Sebastian POV"We have to split ourselves into groups, so we will be able to search for her quickly," Aurora's father suggested. I nodded my head, agreeing with him on what he had just said, the guards who I had brought alongside me formed three teams. "One should comb the forest, another should search the river shore and the other should search on top of the cliff" I gave out my orders to the three teams. They all bowed their heads in reverence to me, before walking away."Are you sure that Aurora didn't come to meet with you?" Her mother asked me while I was walking away with one of the team. I turned around to answer her but when I saw the way she glared at me, I was taken aback. "Does she know anything?" I wondered as I gulped in my saliva while thinking of what I was going to say to her. "I saw her from a distance but I never talked to her" I answered, with a firm voice that would leave anyone covinced. "Mother, please stop pushing this further, Sebastian isn't one to hurt
Sebastian POVThe walk back home was depressing, everyone seemed to be grieving as no one could find the right word to say, not at this moment. I held Aurora's Jacket and her shoe, clenching them tightly, her scent wafting into my nostrils reminding me of the last conversation with her and how it had turned out. I ran my gaze at the people who were walking beside me and I exhaled when I saw none of them looking back at me. I was sure that I had that guilty look on my face and if I was caught, it wasn't going to help. "You have to be strong mother, Aurora will come back soon," I heard Laden console his mother, with his hands wrapped firmly around her and I wondered how he was going to feel if he found out that she wouldn't be coming back. I wondered what thought was running through his mind at the moment and for the first time in a long while, I wished that I could find out what was going through someone else's mind. I wanted to know what he was thinking about at the moment, I nee
Sebastiana POV "How about we stay calm, father?" I asked while fidgeting, there was a belief that whatever the ancestral goddess said was real and I didn't want her to find out what I have done to Aurora. "Son, what did you say?" My mother asked me, her eyes glinting with tears, and my eyes broke at the sight of it. Different thoughts ran through my mind as I thought of what she was going to do to me if she found out what I had done to Aurora, her Aurora. I shook my head, dissuading the thought from my head, I had to do whatever I had in mind and I had to act fast. " Aurora was everything to me and I cannot stop thinking of how life would have been with her by my side" I placed a hand on my chest, caressing it gently as though I was in great pain. "She deserves justice, and that is what I am going to get for her" I glanced at the faces surrounding me, and my heart hitched when I saw those faces. Those faces that had heard me talking harshly to Aurora, glanced at me with stunne
Aurora's POV"What do you mean mother?" I questioned her, wanting to know what she meant by what she had just said."My diamond," she caressed my cheek running her hands on them gently. "It is nothing that you should worry yourself about" she assured me, but I wasn't having it. Not after I have heard what she had said. "Mother" I muttered out gently to her, not withdrawing her gaze away from those eyes, those eyes that spoke volumes and looked like mine. "You shouldn't hide things away from me," I objected when she attempted to walk away from the room, leaving me in the care of the maids who had been assigned to me. "It isn't time yet, Aurora," she fixed her eyes on mine. Her skin glistened when it came in contact with the sun."Then when will it be time, mother?" I knew that I had just gotten here but still, I wanted to be involved in everything that concerned them, I wanted to relieve them of the stress that they had gone through while searching for me and I wanted her to know th
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
