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"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?"
