Aurora's POV"Nooooooooooo" my mother screamed out loud when she saw the bullet directed at me, and no matter how hard I tried to move, I still couldn't move, it seemed as though my legs were stuck to that point."Arizona is free" the strange man screamed with his hands stretched out wide as the bullet dropped before my feet, changing into a drone. Wait! What exactly was happening? I was perplexed at the sudden turn of events.Placing a hand on my chest, I caressed it gently. For a moment there, I had thought that I was gone and I wouldn't be able to live the life that I have dreamt of with my parents but now, knowing that this was a joke, baffled me. Was this how everyone acted? In Arizona? I crumbled to the ground, sighing in relief. "Aurora" Ramon screamed out my name before running toward me, probably thinking I was having one of my panic attacks."Are you okay?" He asked, his nails digging into my arms when I didn't say a word " Princess" my parents stood in front of me, with
Sebastian POV "I do not want to see him here" Laden said, with disgust in his tone, I was sure his hands hurt him badly from punching my face. "You have to give a reason why you do not" his mother protested bitterly, standing up from the chair beside her husband's bed, she sauntered toward Laden who I could tell was trying to keep something away from her because he couldn't meet her gaze. "I do not want to see him here, Mother and there is no disputing that" His tone showed he wasn't going to say a word. He shoved me aside before walking out of the room, leaving everyone in it dumbstruck. This wasn't him, he isn't like that so what is happening? His mother wondered out loud, I stood up from the ground, and I was sure my shirt was dusty. Hissing out loud, I gazed at my father who was quiet, watching me intensely as though he could tell all of my moves, it was a pity that wouldn't be possible."It is okay, I am sure he is just under the weather, anyone would react the same way," I m
Sebastian POV"There is no such thing as a destined one" she whispered to me, making me chuckle softly. Was she being delusional or was she just ignorant? "Do you mean you haven't heard of that before?" I could tell by the way my heart kept racing when we stood together, although she wouldn't know about it. I could. The searing heat pulled me closer to her. I was sure that she could also, and that she was trying to doubt it and I was going to have a good ride unraveling her until she became a piece of wrecking mess. "Don't" her voice was firm as I took steps toward her, leaning against her ear, my hands groped her bottom, firm and hard and I was carried away with how portable it fitted my hands. Crack. I flipped my head to the side when her palm hit my face, causing me to hiss out when the pain hit me. Harder than it should have been. That sting. "How dare you?" I growled at her, all that I had done was run my hands through her body and instead of being appreciative, she had to
Aurora's POVFlicking the cork of the wine open, I picked up the fluted wine glass gazing at it for a while, before decanting the wine gently into the glass in front of me. Staring blankly at the red liquid which was dripping into the glass before me, I let out a sigh, I had felt so parched and thought of getting a little wine, although I had been training for hours, Ramon had been acting awkwardly making me vexed, no matters how hard I tried to talk to him, he wouldn't say a word to me and it was getting me worried with each hour that passes. Today made it two months since I had come into the palace and although a lot of people have put up resistance against me, I have managed to shun them all.Gulping down the glass of wine, I sauntered toward the window gazing out of it at the training arena where Ramon sat still, deep in thought. I barely knew anything about him, everything had happened in a rush and so, I couldn't even care to know his origin. I trusted my father to always mak
Aurora's POVStaring at the ceiling which had numerous designs on it numbering from the glow lights to the little man-made pointy stars dangling down to my princess bed, I exhaled sharply, letting out a deep breath. A lot of things had flashed through my mind while Ramon was walking away but now, I felt numb, so numb that I didn't feel anything, my heart was still unlike when I was with Sebastian when I smiled at every little opportunity I had, was I ever going to fall in love? Ever again?Ramon had stirred up desires in me, desires which weren't love and all I wanted to do was get rid of them but how? How was I going to do that?"Aurora'' the door was pushed slightly backward and my mother walked in a white plain gown that complimented her skin. I was sure that father kept thanking his lucky stars whenever he knew that she was his, because she was a walking angel and yes, I had gotten all of her charms, from those eyes that sparkled when they came in contact with the light to that p
Aurora's POVA sigh escaped my lips when I saw my reflection on the vanity mirror facing me, pouting my lips, I ran my fingers underneath my dark eye circle. "You shouldn't do that princess" one of my maids reminded me, making me snort at what they have just said. "Phew" I sneered at what she had just said. "Go on," I cajoled her, pulling my fingers away from my face. My mother had stayed up late with me, tutoring me on what I was supposed to do and what I wasn't supposed to do and so I had slept off late, not like it would make me go back on what I had intended to do. Seated in front of the vanity, I could feel my palms get sweaty when thoughts of the meeting I would be attending soon, hit me. The women were hard to please and I was told that I will have to try twice as hard just so I could get on their good side but what if I don't?I exhaled deeply again for what was like the tenth time to me, running my palm against each other, I tried forcing a smile on my face. "Are you d
Aurora's POV" What exactly do you think you are doing!" I screamed angrily at the man who was silent. " Way to go Aurora, you are going to be late" I rolled my eyes with my hands by my side, trying to be calm because it wouldn't help if I let my anger get hold of me"I have a meeting to attend and now this" I made gestures at what I had on before exhaling, but still, he was silent as though in deep thought. I twirled around, not wanting to care about what had happened because I had somewhere I was supposed to be when a tiny voice beckoned to me;"Princess" I halted in my steps, before turning around, a teeny weeny girl who would be around her teen but had curves in places where they should be, stopped me. "What do you want?" I asked, with my hands crossed. "Let me help," she offered, bringing out a white handkerchief. I took a step back not wanting anyone to touch me, what if whatever that is in there would harm me? I wondered. "I promise not to harm you, why will I do that here
Sebastian POVWith a smile on my face, one that widened as I thought of the answer that I had been given, I sauntered out of the hospital, getting into the car. "Drive" I barked out the order at the driver who was sitting looking speechless. " Alpha but…""Eeshhh" I hissed, loud enough for him to hear and shut up. " When you are given an order, it will do you good if you follow it to the letter'' I reclined against the chair when the key was inserted into the ignition and the car drove away, with fist clenched by my side, I thought of how Laden had acted. Rubbing my thumb on my head gently, a sigh escaped from my lips, I was going to give him days, just days to come back and apologize for insulting me in such a way or be demoted from the position he was currently in. I had all of the power to do that anyway. The sound of a phone ringing snapped me out of my daydream, letting out a sigh, I picked up the phone which must have fallen on the couch. "We have to do all that we can to
