Sebastian POVGiving Karen a dead stare, my hand clenched on the bottle I was holding. "What do you intend to do?" I flicked the bottle to the side, not minding the pieces that scattered all over the place. "My father had given me an assignment'' he gazed at me for a minute before letting out a sigh, one that showed how conflicted he was. "And it involves killing someone which you know I haven't done before, so I am a little bit confused on how exactly I am going to do it, I do not want to be seen as a weakling by my father, Sebastian" he bared out his heart to me." If you do not want to do it, then don't but you should know that your father has a reason for asking you to do that, so tell me Karen"I placed a hand underneath my chin. " Why are you not taking a stance?" I hated whatever he was doing, he was a man. "You ought to do so and stop confusing me, we both know that in order to get some things done, we ought to do whatever it is just to survive, and…" " Where is the Seba
Sebastian POVWith a hand placed on my cheek, I glared at my mother who was fuming in anger, her veins bulged out and I could tell that she was trying to hold herself. "What exactly did you tell Laden, oh you foolish child?" She asked, her hands moved to her forehead caressing it gently before slumping on the couch.I watched her kick her slippers to the side, lacing both of her hands together while waiting for me to answer. "What exactly is happening?" I needed them to know that I wasn't that little child anymore which they could whip at any time. Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to stare at her before asking, "How could you lay your hands on me?" "Sebastian…. you" I raise a hand to halt her, not wanting to hear what she intended to say next. "And for Laden, mother, aren't you supposed to have a little trust in your son?" I inquired, gazing straight at her. I was helpless against her, this was my mother here, and she was one of the reasons why I was born into this earth and I c
Aurora's POV"You cannot be serious, Mother" I ran a hand through my messy hair, walking toward my room. I couldn't believe what it was that I was hearing, how was I going to do that? "You promised" I reminded her"I know Aurora but you need to go outing, it is just a date and nothing else" she answered, causing me to let out a sigh, before slumping onto my bed. "Aurora" she called out gently, sitting beside me. "I knew I had promised not to interfere with your love life, but baby girl" her hands patted my chin, caressing it gently. "You need someone to show you around, Arizona is filled with beautiful things which I am sure you will love to see and Jackson is the best person to do that" " Ramon is there to do that, Mother" I reminded her." The same person you have been avoiding for a while now?" I gulped in my spittle as what she had just said hit me. Or wasn't he the one avoiding me instead? I haven't seen him for a while since he kissed me. A finger strayed to my lips which I
Aurora's POVSauntering toward the car door which Jackson had flung open with his hand firmly holding the handle. I let out a breath of air, taking a glance around my surrounding I couldn't fix my hand in it but something seemed to be pulling me toward a particular direction."Ramon" Although I was tempted to chase after him, I decided against it. I didn't want news going around talking about how I was screwing my instructor."Touche" Jackson uttered, his gaze fixed on mine. "Those beautiful eyes of yours shouldn't be straying when there is a whole meal in front of you" He winked at me, causing me to roll my eyes at him. I was glad I wasn't eating yet because I was sure as hell that I was going to choke on my food. "Language Jackson" I placed a foot into the car before sitting on it. Its interior was exquisite and I couldn't stop myself from complimenting how beautiful it looked."It is beautiful" My hands patted the headboard gently, immersed in how soft it looked. " The latest
Aurora's POVStanding in front of the huge restaurant which was empty and no soul was in it, I didn't need any soothsayer to tell me Jackson had booked the restaurant just for the date, and I didn't know how to feel. Happy or excited? Rather I felt numb"Candace" I read the name placed on the board, before putting a leg forward intending to step forward when a hand wrapped itself around my wrist. "We should go in together, princess" His face had a smile that one would wonder what exactly was amusing him. Letting out a long sigh, I let him wrap his hands on my wrist before walking in together. Arizona was beautiful and although the responsibility that had fallen on me was huge, something within me tells me that I would be fine, not that I had a choice anyways. The chef came running immediately after he saw who had just walked in, donning a smirk on his lips and his nose which seemed a little bit crooked, he rubbed both of his hands together."Greetings your…" I shook my head and int
Aurora's POVWith my hands wrapped firmly around her wrist, I pulled her alongside me. Although she was adamant, I was stronger, thanks to the training I had been going through recently. "Princess" she pleaded, desperation coating her tone. " You cannot run again anymore" I countered her, a smile on my face, not wanting to give her a chance to go away."You have to know it was for your own good, a lowly omega like me shouldn't be seen around you" she spoke in between gritted teeth, causing me to halt in my steps. Was she being maltreated? Just because she didn't have her wolf side yet? I could see myself in her, the past me who was with Sebastian, I could see it and I didn't want her to feel that way. "Come here"A screeching sound pierced through the air causing me to glare at Jackson. "If she thinks she shouldn't be here, then let her go, Princess, and focus on me" His words made me scoff. " Greetings Duke of Easton" the girl beside me greeted. " You know him?" I pointed at Ja
Sebastian POVPacing up and down, clenching my phone tightly, I waited for Karen's call but there was none. I had been meaning to ask how he had left my room because I didn't see him immediately I had walked in but still, I couldn't get through to him. Slumping on the chair, I shook my head, not wanting to let anything bother me, with a pile of documents waiting for me, I knew that I had to go back to work. Right away. Because it kept accumulating with each moment that passed.His father was a difficult man to begin with and contacting him was out of the question already.The creaking of the door pulled me out of my daydream and Laden walked in, a sullen look on his face. I tapped my fingers on the table waiting for him to say something, anything but he didn't. Gazing up at him. My eyes fixed on him. "What do you want, Laden?" Stunned, overwhelmed, name it all, but I wasn't expecting what he did next. With knees on the ground, he gritted his teeth."Sorry Alpha" he apologized, mak
Sebastian POVWalking in large strides into the room, I grasped my hands on her wrist pulling her with me. "Sebastian" a voice grunted behind me, making me stop."We demand an explanation and we are hoping it is going to come from your lips"Flicking my head around, I gazed at my father who I could see veins bulging out of his neck."What will you do, Father?" I asked, "He is your father" Desdemona whispered to me," Don't interfere when I am talking," I answered back at her, not minding the glint that flashed through her eyes when I stared at her.Sighing out. "An explanation you will get Father but for now, I have to attend to my guest" I ran my tongue on my lips, before yanking her with me."What do you think you are doing?" I demanded an answer, while walking as fast as I could down the hallway. "I am in heels and I hope you will stop pulling me alongside you, I am not a toy, you know"" You do not talk when I do Desdemona, you do not" I was fuming with anger already. Not when
