Aurora's POVI flicked my eyelids gently, with a hand placed on my head when the banging persisted. "Shit'' I cursed before flinging the blanket off my body, the cold air seeping through my skin, causing goosebumps on my skin. I ran a hand on my hand hoping it will province some warmth before sauntering toward the bathroom where I had decided to have a bath. With a slouching back, I let a sigh escape from my lips when I thought of how Roselyn had refused to come along with me, it showed that even the royalties do not get whatever they wanted. But I knew that wasn't true, I just didn't want her to think that I was using my position as a princess against her, laying on the bathtub, I splashed the soapy water, a smile creeping on my face as I lay back on it, letting it cover me up. "Aurora" a voice called from my room, one that I knew so well. "I am in the bathroom Mother, I will be out soon" I answered, screaming back at her. I heard the sound of something being shuffled and squinte
Laden's POVTapping my fingers on the table, I waited for Princess Aurora to step in, Sebastian sat at the head table, waiting for who I had told him was the link to making the Lycan kingdom and the werewolf pack one and he had a wide smile on his face as he waited alongside with me, one that had been distinct for months now. I kept wondering what look he would have when he finds out that the princess of Arizona had the same face as Aurora, what would be his reaction? A maid walked into the huge room which was usually used for meetings, holding a tray with a smile on her face. " She is here"I tried as hard as I could to stop the fast beating of my heart but I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried to, patting my chest gently, I glanced at Sebastian whose gaze was focused on the door, rather too intense that I was forced to wonder what exactly was happening.He looked so hyperactive to see whoever it was that would walk in that I was starting to get suspicious." The princess of Arizo
Aurora's POVWith my hands tightening underneath the table, I tried to keep sane, I couldn't let anyone see my weakness, so far everything was going as I wanted with Sebastian walking out and Laden going also, but how long was this going to continue? How long was I going to sit here staring at the same walls that I had thought that I would rule in? Although I could tell that Sebastian had done an insanely good job immediately after I stepped into the pack, I couldn't get rid of that feeling inside me that kept wanting to destroy him. I wanted to make him pay with every minute that passed, I wanted to see him suffer just like I did. I could see he wasn't going through much unlike me who had suffered unend, crying myself to sleep. Except for those dark eyes which had been underneath his eyes, I could tell he wasn't going through much. Sebastian seemed to be living just fine, while I was made to go through insane trauma which had affected how I think and every little thing about me.I
Sebastian POV"You have to calm down, why are you acting this way?" Karen asked behind me, I had my hands against the wall as I thought of what had just happened. There was no denying that it was Aurora. There wasn't.She had the same face, the same look on her face and although the timid look on her face was gone and in its place was an arrogant one, I could still tell that she was the one. " How exactly do you want me to calm down? You saw her right? Did you see the look on her face? Didn't she look exactly like Aurora?" Karen walked toward a chair and sat on it. "But how are you going to explain the fact that she is the princess of Arizona? When we both know that she wasn't? She cannot be a Lycan, so why don't you get your head together?" Something clicked off in my head when I heard the name Arizona, it reminded me of Karen and I could still remember that he had talked about a cousin of his who had suddenly become the heir, reappearing after many days, so what if the person was
Zeeb's POVI was having a hard time trying to understand what Karen had just told me, how was it possible that no word had been let out? It had been hard to get a spy in but at least we had done so with much difficulty but still, we had managed to. " Are you sure about what you just told me?" I asked, wanting to be sure that I have heard him correctly." Yes Father" he answered, leaning against the chair, I bit into my lips until I could taste the metallic taste of blood on them. My blood pumped faster. " Where is she?" I asked him gently, but with a warning underneath, which I was sure he wasn't oblivious to." She is nowhere to be found, I searched everywhere Father, everywhere but I couldn't find her" he confessed sincerely. I flicked my head at him, meeting his gaze, " What arrant nonsense are you talking about? We had an arrangement, didn't we?" " Then why exactly has she gone back on hers? What right does she have to do that?" I was trying to wrap my head around it. Paupers
Aurora's POVWith my hair tied into a messy bun, I exhaled gently, taking in a mouthful of breath to calm myself down from the hectic day that I have had today. Although the meeting hasn't gone as I expected it to, I wasn't glad to know that I had that type of reaction to Sebastian.When I had seen him, my heart had skipped a beat but I had tried as I could to remain sane, not wanting him to have an idea what was going on, his being in the dark would be the best thing and I would be at an advantage over them.Grrrrr. Grrr. I flicked my head in the direction where I had heard the phone ringing, picking it up. "Aurora, goodnight gracious, I was so worried, how have you been? What is going on? You haven't called since you got there and I have been wondering why, why didn't you?"I glanced at the mirror in front of me, pulling the phone away from my ear when she kept yelling. "I am fine Mother, " I answered her while tugging at the edge of the towel which was wrapped around me."Are you
Aurora's POVI took a step backward when his gaze penetrated through mine, a glint flashing through his eyes, my heart beat faster with each second that passed and even when I knew the guards were around, I didn't feel protected. How did he find me? Does this mean he had been stalking me even after knowing that I was dead? I had noticed him first when he was stalking me and although I had acted as though I knew nothing about him nor his presence, my stunned face when he came in would have given me away at the moment. "Take him away" I shrieked at the guards who looked on, as though they were lost. " I do not want to see him five feet between me, he is a psychopath, how exactly did he manage to come in?" I asked the guards angrily, I was trying to wrap my hands around it but I couldn't.The security was tight and it was almost impossible for anyone to penetrate through and father had assured me of that, saying that was part of the reasons he had rejected the hotel Sebestian had place
Aurora's POVI sat across, staring straight at Sebastian who didn't look like he was about to break down, unlike yesterday when he acted like he had seen a ghost." So what exactly do you say to our proposal? Is it okay with you?" " What do you take me as? Fifteen? Stupid? Or perhaps, you think that I am nine?" I flared up at Sebastian while running my gaze around the table, everyone's eyes were fixed on me and I could see most of them wondering what was happening. " Not only do you think I will be stupid not to see your loopholes, I am sure your thoughts while doing so were as though I am daft, wasn't it?"I demanded an answer from him while slamming the documents on the table before me."Princess Aurora" he leaned forward, his hands lacing each other, "I think you should talk in a way that I would be able to understand what it is that you mean, as you can see, I am not the only one confused here"" Yes, Karen supported, he was going to always support whatever Sebastian said anyways
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
