Aurora's POVTaking a step backward, I watched the doctor carry out their duties carefully, and not once did my eyes stray from his face, although they were pale and he seemed to be going through pain with all of the many processes going on, I could tell that he was better. Just staring at his eyes which were opened, made me happy. I drew my gaze away from his when he's met mine and he winked at me, what was he doing? Why was I having ripples in my stomach? And why was I finding it hard to breathe all of a sudden? I blinked, turned around, and met Roselyn whose eyes were fixed on me, a non-smiling expression on her face. Did I do something wrong? I wondered. "Are you okay?" I asked her, walking toward her and holding the tray. "Yes, of course, I am, why do you think I am not?" She pulled back, watching my reaction. "No," I shook my head. "Nothing, it is just that I thought you were because of the look you had on your face" I answered her. " Oh, nothing," " Princess" the head doc
Zeeb's POV"You had just one assignment, just one and you flopped it, now tell me what should I do to you" I swung the bat I had over his head. It was annoying when I found out that he had plans of running away, running away from me when he didn't carry out what I had instructed him to. I had sent men to get him and had pulled him back here just like the disappointment that he was. "Father please'' he pleaded, sweating profusely. "I did all that you instructed me to and somehow, somehow, we were met with an ambush'' he tried to explain but I wasn't having it. Not when I had lost most of my men. Most of the men who meant a lot to me."They died just like chickens" I gritted my teeth when I recalled the bodies laying cold, and lifeless. All I had thought was that they would be successful but still, "Father please, do not do this to me, I promise, I promise to rectify it and.."" Shut up" I growled at him, my fist wrapped firmly around the bat in my hands, I was holding myself back fr
Aurora's POV"Be careful" I whispered to Ramon as though he was a fragile egg that I didn't want to break open. With hands wrapped around his arms firmly, we stepped into the elevator together, guards by our side, making sure no one would get hurt."You have to stop treating me like I would break into pieces" I rolled my eyes at what he had just said. " Who knows if you will, I have to be careful especially now that you are mine" I whispered into his ears, running my tongue on it, a smile crept on my face when goosebumps formed on his skin. "What do you think you are doing, young lady?" " Putting a mark on you, my beloved" I bit into my lips when I saw the shy look on his face. Was he blushing?I chuckled softly, and walked out together with him when the elevator dinged, "You should be a little bit reserved, what do you think people would say when they find out you are dating someone who is way below your standard?" He asked curiously. " I thought someone kept talking about us not
Sebastian POV"You have to get a life Sebastian, what has gotten into you?" My mother asked angrily, taking away the bottle of red wine which I had placed on top of the table. "Aren't you going to let me be?" I asked her, infuriated. " No, Sebastian, I know you are a lot of things but not this, when did you turn this way? What has gotten into you?" " Ah ah ah" I chuckled softly, " You want to know what had gotten into me?" I asked her. " You want to know what has gotten into me, don't you?" I asked again, " You mother, you are the reason I am like this mother," I screamed at her. My chest heaving up and down heavily. This was insane. For weeks now, my only consolation was alcohol. I have had them stacked up ever since my meeting with Bethany, and the way my mother kept acting like she knew nothing, repelled me. Her sight angered me. Her very existence vexed me. "Talk to me in a way that I would understand, I would like to be of help to you but with this attitude you have, I wou
Sebastian POVI drove as fast as I could not minding the traffic light, it was a miracle that somehow I didn't knock anyone down. He couldn't find out. If he did, everything would be yanked away from me, the pack I loved so much, the power I have now, and even the life I had now. "Please Selina" I stepped on the gas, driving as fast as I could. I could still remember the place where I had met Bethany, there was nothing that would make me not remember. It was the start of all of these troubles I was having now. Exhaling sharply when the building came into sight, I took in a deep breath, trying to stabilize my emotions before stepping out of the car. Something seemed to be bugging out of my pocket and bringing it out, I found out it was my gun. "What was I supposed to do?" I held it firmly, turning it side by side. "Fine" I exhaled, dipping it inside my pocket. I couldn't just leave it in here, it didn't make sense.With my heart beating fast against its rib cage, I walked up the s
Sebastian's POVI yanked the door open to the room that I was sure as hell my mother would be in, I had left my dad to the doctor who was in charge and everything in me kept pushing me on, telling me that he would be okay but still, that glimmer of light which was always with me was dim, telling me repeatedly of how much disappointment I was and how I would be haunted by his ghost if he didn't wake up. Sighing, my gaze wandered to my mother who was seated on the couch, fingers in her lips anxiously, "Son" she called out in shock when I stepped into the room, a gun in my hands and bloody clothes. "Are you okay?" She asked, her hands running on my clothes and her mouth widened when the red crimson blood stained her hands. How was she going to react when she found out that blood belonged to her husband? Would she still call me son like she had just done?"Here" I threw the gun to the ground and chuckled gently. "Hahahaha'' " Mother, there" I repeated, but her eyes, those eyes, told me
Aurora's POVA sigh escaped from my lips as I sauntered out of the house, the large field in view. I gasped out in shock when I saw what was waiting for me. Flipping my head at my parents who were standing at a distance, I was tempted to ask. "Do not tell me that I am going in that?" I asked excitedly. This was going to be my first time and I was going to make the most out of it. "You do not think that we are going to risk what happened the last time again, right?" My mother asked, a smile on her face. I smiled back at her with gratitude. ", Thank you, Father, thank you Mother'' I kissed both of their cheeks before walking toward the jet. Ramon stood at a far distance blowing me kisses from miles away and suddenly, I missed him. My father had bluntly refused my request for him to come with me and now I was alone. Walking up the airstairs, with my heart beating fast against my rib, I took in a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves which were scattered all over the place. "Welcome
Aurora's POVWith a smile that widened at each step that I took, I walked out of the room, leaving everyone stunned. Yes, that was more than enough reason for them to know that I was capable of ruling, how could they think that I, Aurora, would falter before them? "Lowly men" I spat out harshly before taking a step further. My heels clicked on the marble tiles. "Princess, princess" a voice beckoned to me when I was barely steps away from getting into the jet which had brought me here. "Yes?" I flicked my head around, my long hair glistening. " Prince Hardin" he stretched out his hands, extending a handshake. "I will pass" My eyes were fixed on his outstretched hand. Glancing at it, he withdrew it. "Oh okay" he took it back, sliding it into his pocket. "You looked devastatingly beautiful and I must say I was blown away" I rolled my eyes not wanting to partake in one of those numerous lies that men told. "Thank you," I resumed walking, hoping that he would take it as a cue to le
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
