Sebastian's POVI flicked my eyes open, feeling a presence in the room, why was I feeling this way? What was happening? I couldn't wrap my hands around it. " Who is there?" "Hellooo…." I stretched out my hands, searching for my gun which I knew I had dropped somewhere, "Will you talk, or should I blow your head off?"My heart flipped when I saw it, a shadow rushing past me just like a gush of wind. "Father?" I whispered, standing up abruptly from the bed. "Father…." I whispered again, this time I knew that I was certain, I knew I wasn't wrong, there was no way I wouldn't know who it was because that was him, that was the same man who I had come to know as my father for years. "Sebastian……" I gasped when he smiled at me, blood gushing out of his palm. What was that? Was that blood? I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. "Why….why…. Did you kill me? How could you be so heartless? Tell me why…why did you let power take over? Tell me" his footsteps were distinct yet it caused m
Aurora's POVI stared at the ceiling deep in thought, and my stomach which kept rumbling continuously jerked me up, I shouldn't have gotten angry and walked off, and now, I was hungry, I patted my stomach, before gazing at the time, I flipped my head to the wall clock that showed it was two in the morning but still I couldn't sleep. " Arrrghhh" I screamed out angrily before sitting upright on the bed, fine I was going to get something to eat, no one was going to know anyways. What was the possibility of Granny or Ramon finding out? It was almost zero, so I guess I had to put it to use now that no one was awake. Tip-toeing toward the door, I turned the knob clockwise, making sure it doesn't make a sound before stepping out. The hallway was deserted, not showing a sign of any soul and I sighed in relief, although it was dark, the house was dimly lit and I could see everywhere clearly. Walking down the stairs, I kept staring around just to make sure no one would creep up on me and no
Aurora's POV"You….you cannot be serious..are you?" Ramon asked, hands wrapped around my waist. I gulped in when he stared at me, before slamming his lips on mine "You…you will be the end of me" he wrapped a hand around my waist, placing me on the countertop. "Tell me Aurora, say it one more time, tell me one more time, how much you want me and I will take you right here and now, all you have to do is say the word and…."" On the table?" My eyes widened with shock dancing in them, "Do you prefer the bed? We can go up this minute and I will make love to you and touch you in places where my name and memories would be etched forever in, I want to show you how much you mean to me and fuck, you are driving me nuts" All of his words, all of them were driving me nuts and I wanted him to know, I leaned forward, kissing him gently on the lips. "I want you Ramon, I want to feel your skin against mine, your hands on my body and I want you by my side at all times"The kiss that followed was f
Laden's POV" How long has this been going on and why wasn't I informed?" I gritted my teeth at the doctor whose height towered over me and he had a hand around his waist. " It has been ages since he came for his monthly check-up so it was hard getting to know that something wasn't right, how exactly" he palmed his head. " How exactly was I supposed to know that he was losing his mind when he didn't come?" " This…" I pointed at Sebastian who was laying still on the bed not moving a bit, all of this had happened so suddenly, there was nothing that had prepared me for this. " His mental health has been unstable and although he had been seeing ghosts recently, you made sure it was kept under wraps which isn't helpful" the doctor countered I knew I was wrong for doing that but that seemed like the only reasonable thing for me to do.I had to cover up his shame, just so the pack members wouldn't know about it, and was that wrong? I needed to do that, keep his shame, and now…" He has to
Sebastian's POV" Are you sure you will be able to address your people, you know you can stay back and let someone else do it, don't you?" Karen asked, annoying me further" What exactly do you mean by the question you just asked?" I tilted my head to the side, staring at him, while waiting for an answer."Perhaps you think the person who I should send on my behalf should be you? Do you think you are worthy? What exactly do you think you have that I should let you go? You slimy betrayer" I spat out harshly at him, not cowering in fear. Who was he anyways?"No…no... I would never do that..it was merely a suggestion, one that I was hoping you wouldn't take wrongly but I am sorry if somehow I made you angry, I am deeply sorry" he apologized,"Keep your sorry to yourself, I do not want to hear anything else from that lip of yours, it will be nice if you do not talk anymore" I walked toward my closet, picking a suit from it, one that I had prepared for this occasion, for months now, the p
Aurora's POV I bit on my lips as memories from the night before clouded my head, Ramon had kept at it until I could no longer feel my legs and now, I was numb. Letting out a sigh from my lips, I let my hands roam on the bed but I was alone, tilting my head to the side, I squinted my eyes wondering where exactly he had gone when he stepped in with a tray in his hands. " Good morning" he pushed the door slightly before closing it swiftly. " I thought you had left" he was dressed already, unlike me who was still laying on the bed, naked and to make matters worse, he was looking energetic, why? Why did it have to be this way? " You look pretty and yes…although I know you wouldn't believe me, even with your disheveled look, I am tempted to bend you over the bed and fuck you senseless"Heat pooled in between my legs and I gulped in my spittle when he yanked the blanket I had on, exposing my skin to him. "Ramon" I yelped out, shocked. His eyes ran through my naked body, like a cat tha
Aurora's POV" Must you attend? You know that you shouldn't be out and about and also it would be dangerous if anyone who knows you from Arizona sees you there, so why exactly are you going there?" I stared at Ramon not wanting to believe that he had just said that from his mouth, how could he have said that when he knew how attached I was to Laden? He was the only sibling I have ever had. I shook my head at him, walking away from him. I didn't have the time to haggle words with him, not at this time. I had just one place I was supposed to be at this moment and that was Laden's coronation, there was no way I was going to miss it. " Aurora" he stood up walking after me, hands placed against the door as I tried shutting it. " Listen to me, you know….." " Why don't you tell me what you want?" His face was blank, showing that he had no idea what I was talking about. " Fine" I signed. " You want me to stay here, making love with you all day, isn't that what you want?" " Hell no! Do
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
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.
