Aurora's POVSitting upright on the bed, I heaved out heavily, stretching my hand out. I took the little mirror which I had placed on top of the dresser and decided to take a look at my face. "Way to go, Aurora" I rolled my eyes at my appearance. I couldn't tell the girl who I had seen there because it was far away from how I looked. Standing up from the bed that I was seated on, I walked toward the bathroom, deciding to use the toilet. Although I had said I wouldn't shed a tear for Ramon, I had ended up crying myself to sleep. Pathetic.I knew what I had done was wrong, I should have talked to him about it but I haven't. "Your luck then" I decided to take a bath before stepping out. Another new day, another new scandal, and I wondered what the people would think about it. Although I had seen the pictures last night, I wasn't thinking of it. How exactly was I supposed to know that Hardin had brought people who would take pictures of our outing or rather, an overzealous media perso
Aurora's POV"You have become a Shadow of yourself Aurora, this isn't who you are, you have work to do, meetings to attend and your people to address, how long are you going to stay sulking?" Roselyn flipped the cover I had over myself off my body, making me grunt softly. "Let me be, Rosa" I attempted to take back the cover but she wasn't going to let me do so, " Fine" I threw my hands up, "What do you want from me?""It has been" she glanced at her finger, her eyes moving swiftly on them, " one, two, three, gosh it has been three weeks and you are still lying and acting as though you cannot walk or think anymore, what has gotten into you?" She placed both hands on her waist, waiting for me to answer. "I am tired, I need to sleep, so let me be please" I laid down on the bed, hoping that she wouldn't distract me and I sighed in relief when she didn't. "What the heck?" I gasped out, stunned at what was happening. A moment ago, I was lying still and now, here I was drenched."Roselyn
Aurora's POV Letting out a sigh from my lips, I held Roselyn firmly on the wrist, this was my past, a past that I was returning to, one that I thought I wouldn't be going to any time soon but here I was, standing in the very same place. "Are you okay?" Roselyn asked, jolting me out of my wide sea of thought. "Yes…yes…of course I am, why are you asking?" I flashed a smile at her, she shook her head before getting into the car which was supposed to take us to the shopping center, "Are you sure you are okay? If you are not, we can wait a little bit until you are okay" she suggested. " Why is everyone treating me like I am some fragile doll which will break easily?" I flicked my head at her, waiting for her to answer "Princess, you have to fasten your seat belt please" one of the royal guards who was driving the car we were in said to me, "Thank you" I fastened the seat belt, making sure it clasped properly before letting go of it. I glanced out of the mirror staring at the street
Laden's POVI shook my head trying to get rid of the person who I had seen earlier, if indeed that was Aurora, she wouldn't have denied us in such a way. Although I didn't want to believe that whoever it was, was Aurora, I couldn't deny the fact that a part of me wished that it was her. The eyes, the same green orbs as Aurora's made me wonder who exactly would look so much like her if it wasn't Aurora herself. My parents haven't been able to get over the girl they had seen in the mall and they had kept talking about how it was Aurora. Rubbing my forehead with my thumb, I exhaled gently. I was sure I would be coming down with a headache very soon if I didn't relax a bit and stop thinking of the fact that I had seen her." Are you okay?" Sebastian asked, I had forgotten I was here with him, and for a second there, "Yes, I am, is something wrong?" I forced a smile on my face. " Actually, I have been…." Shit, what exactly was I trying to do? I placed a hand over my mouth, shutting m
Aurora's POVWith a hand on the doorknob, I stood still listening to what my parents were talking about. " You shouldn't have printed this out, you shouldn't have done that, why exactly did you do that?" I could hear my mother's voice as she screamed at my father, something that she rarely did. What exactly was wrong? I wondered " She is an adult Alberta, our daughter is an adult and she deserves to make her choice, what exactly are you talking about?" My father asked angrily. I took in a deep breath, trying to calm down my nerves before coming in. I didn't know whatever it was that was making them act like that so I had to be cautious." She will leave us, don't you get it? Aurora will leave us, we…we have barely had her and now this…. don't do this, please…don't, I am pleading" I gulped in, before pushing the door open, flashing a smile at my parents, I stared at my mother whose eyes were teary already. "What is wrong, mother?" I patted her cheek gently, wiping off the tears
Aurora's POVLeaning against the balcony attached to my room with a glass of alcoholic wine in hand, I let out a sigh contemplating what to do. Tomorrow would be a new day, one that I knew there was no way to evade because doing that will only heighten suspicion, one that I couldn't afford at the moment.I walked around, sitting on the lounge chair which was neatly placed in the corner, the moon was out and it was looking beautiful, its rays shone on my skin, making it glisten. A Lot of thoughts kept running through my mind but I shook my head, discarding it. Not now, all I wanted to do was get drunk and wake up tomorrow. Although I knew the possibility of waking up with a hangover was high, still it was a chance I was ready to take. I reclined against the chair, my mind flashing back to Ramon who had been banned from coming to the palace by my father. Oddly, I missed him and I wished that I had given him a chance to explain himself, at least that would have helped but I had gone wi
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 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
