There were a few elderly people in front of them and each one of them looked extremely intimidating. She tried to appear calm and composed but her heart was beating at an abnormal pace. "Here," Draken said as he handed one of them the sheets and they stared at it and inhaled. Aurora gulped. Involuntarily her hand grasped his hand tightly. When they looked at her all at once, her heart dropped and unconsciously she stepped closer to Draken. She was about to hide behind his back but he squeezed her hand. It was a small gesture but for her, it seemed to boost her confidence as she stood by his side facing the elders with courage. Though she kept her eyes down in respect and also she was scared to look in their eyes. Draken noticed one of the elders staring at Aurora's neck. There was no mark there. "I want to conduct her Luna ceremony as soon as possible." He said trying to change their attention and it seemed to work. "Of course, Alpha. We'll arrange for it." One of them said as
She stood there like a statue. Not being able to meet his intense stare she dropped her gaze as she fisted her dress. Her heart was thumping loudly in her ears. "Where were you?" His voice was gruff, sending chills down her spine. He was mad."I... I... was with Charlotte. W..we were just in the pack M...Market," She said with mustered up courage."Did you take my permission for this?" He queried and his words hit a nerve."I didn't need any," the words left her lips before she could think and he cocked a perfect brow at her."Oh, is that so?" He said as he moved away from the wall and started to prowl towards her.Aurora's eyes widened as she took a step back but then her eyes landed on her phone in his hand.No.She will not get intimidated by him. And in no way she will live here as a captive.She stood her ground with her eyes fixed on his boots as he finally came to a stop right in front of her.There was just a foot distance between their bodies touching.She gulped and stood r
He was smirking. No way. He could smirk? Never in her life had she thought that the most feared man could ever have this side to him as well. "Let me go," She demanded with courage. It irked her because he seemed to enjoy the situation. "Why?" He said. Draken was behaving oddly for his personality. "Did you hit your head somewhere?" She asked in utmost seriousness. And the stunned look on his face gave her the chance as she abruptly pushed him away. He was taken off guard but still, he didn't even step back. His hold on her loosened and she freed her hand. She was about to step back but his steel-like arms wrapped around her waist as he kept her in place. Both of her hands were on his chest as she pushed him away but to no avail. "Can you please let me go," She said in a small voice and she was glad she wasn't stuttering. The reason that she was a little confident in front of him, was because he didn't force himself on her. Instead, he made the whole fake scenario in front
She didn't turn to look at the person because she already knew who it was.She bit her bottom lip and inhaled deeply through her nose before exhaling through her mouth and the deep breath trick calmed her down a little.She could hear his heavy footsteps approaching her as she slowly turned around to face him.She noticed his eyes roving over her attire once before they darkened. Perhaps he got the hint of why she was out there in such clothes."What are you doing here?" His voice was a low whisper as he stood hovering over her. She didn't step back and forced herself to match his intense gaze."I was requesting beta Eren to train me," She was swooning over her confidence. She had made up her mind a lot last night. She wasn't going to be like a scared little princess anymore. She will become strong."Come," He said sternly as he grabbed her small hand in his big veiny one and started to drag her out of there. She wanted to struggle but she didn't want to create a scene in front of hi
She walked through the aisle as he dragged the trolly behind her. She wasn't a good cook nor did she have any experience but she still picked up the most common things that were needed in his kitchen.She put a box of chocolates in the trolly and peeked at him for a second. Thankfully he didn't seem pissed.An idea popped into her head. She should make him go broke. She smirked internally and started to put all the snacks in the trolly. She continued this and he didn't stop her which annoyed her.They walked up to the counter as he paid the cashier with his card. He didn't even look at the price. He grabbed all the shopping bags.She walked beside him quietly. She didn't miss how everyone was greeting him with respect and a few even looked scared in his presence. A lot of the people were looking at her with curiosity and it made her flustered. She didn't like eyes on her and she also never liked crowded places."Take out the immobilizer from my pocket," He said and she looked at him d
"I missed you so much, Draken." The girl chirped as she hugged him even more tightly and Draken made no move to push her off of him. The girl seemed to notice another presence and she found Aurora standing there. The girl's brows furrowed as she broke the hug. "Who is this?" She asked while pointing at Aurora and Aurora stiffened. Would Draken get mad that she came to check who it was? "Aurora," Draken said as he slowly turned around to face her. "My mate," his voice came out deeper and the girl's eyes widened in shock. "What?" She turned to look at Draken who stood there emotionless. Aurora felt as if she was disturbing them and she wasn't supposed to be there. But if this girl was his lover she wasn't expecting him to introduce her as his mate. "B..but. How? Why?" The girl blabbered sadly. Her face had fallen as soon as he told her about Aurora. "Draken, but..." She seemed to be angry. Aurora may be naive but it was obvious that this girl has some relationship with Draken
"From now onwards, you must cook food and keep this house clean. You've to do all the chores from laundry to everything" He said calmly as he let go of her arm once they were in the kitchen. She stared at him dumbfounded. He brought her to his pack to make her his maid. She wanted to scream no at his face but he seemed so threatening that she thought it would be better to leave without answering him but who was she kidding? He set his arm out stopping her from escaping. "Don't you understand what I just said?" He asked her coldly as she stepped away from him. Her brows were knitted together and her eyes glossed up. "I...I'm n...not your maid," She whispered and he closed his eyes for a brief second. It was obvious he was trying to control his anger but she didn't even do anything wrong. She was just telling the truth and he couldn't digest it. What was her fault in all this? "From now on you are," He said icily and her heart stuttered in pain. He was being cruel and illogical.
A week has passed since that incident. She has been doing all the chores without any complaints. The most difficult one was the cooking but thankfully Charlotte comes by every evening and Aurora would note down the recipe for the dinner with her help.In the first two days, she was drained after the chores because she wasn't used to such hard work. She had lived her life like a princess back in her pack but now she was out of the safety cocoon. Now she had to learn how to face difficulties and how to overcome them.Charlotte was surprised to find Aurora working but she didn't ask her why she was doing all the chores.Aurora asked her to help with the recipes and procedure for the dinner and Charlotte agreed. Aurora admits that her cooking wasn't good for now but she was trying.She was slowly learning everything. By the end of the week, she was getting used to all the work. She had made up her routine. She would wake up early in the morning. Make breakfast for him and then disappear i
"Alpha, we found this woman at one of our bases, she said you knew her." One of the guys said as Alonso shifted on the couch. "I bitch would come barging at a base saying she knows me and you f*ckers would bring her to my hideout?" He snarled at them as they flinched back. "A...Alpha, s...she said she's Draken's mom," the guy said and Alonso lifted his head to look at the man. "What?" He barked and the man nodded his head. "Yes, Alpha. She told me her name is Adele," the guy informed him and Alonso scowled. "Bring her in," He ordered as he walked out and a few minutes later he walked in holding a woman's arm who was staring at him. "What do you want, woman?" He asked sharply. Why was she here? The last thing he heard was that she was in the safety of the castle. Did the King throw her out? "I'm here to offer you a deal," She said, yanking her arm out of that man's grasp. Alonso looked at her calmly. He could expect nothing good from a woman. He hated women to a great extent. T
"Luna? Can I take this call? It's urgent," Solomon said and Aurora bobbed her head which he saw through the rearview mirror.Aurora wanted to buy a new dress for the dinner tonight, so she decided to go to the nearby boutique in the pack. Three months have passed since Nathan's birth so Nova has invited everyone over for dinner.Solomon stepped out of the car while saying, "sorry, baby."Aurora stifled a smile. It must be a call from his girlfriend or his mate. That was why he seemed so nervous. She called Draken and he answered on the third call. "Nathan's not giving you a tough time is he?" She asked."Baby, he pooped. I cleaned him up then we both had a bath and now I'm dressing him up," He said and she could tell by his voice that he was holding the phone between his ear and shoulder."Champ, stop squirming," He said to Nathan and she could imagine him changing the diaper of the baby which made her chuckle.She especially loved this a lot. She knew Draken loved kids but she never
"Angela," Draken said curtly and she scrutinized him."What?" She asked and he narrowed his eyes at her, mimicking her expressions."Give me back my son," He retorted, her brows shot up and she let out a dramatic gasp."He was with you for two days now, I just got here and you won't let me hold him huh? Not happening. I'm not giving my precious munchkin to you," Angela exaggerated and Draken glared at her."His name is not a munchkin. It's Nathan," Draken muttered.Aurora couldn't help but smile. They were bickering like siblings. Nova, who was sitting beside Aurora stood up and walked to Angela. Grabbing her shoulder she gently cupped her cheek and Draken's eyes softened instantly.He knew what Nova was thinking because Draken had gotten the same vibes from Angela. "If my daughter had lived, she must be the same age as you," Nova said and Angela looked at her with wide eyes as Draken passed her a smile."You can consider me your daughter, Aunt. I already have two elder brothers, if D
"Draken?" Aurora called loudly as Draken rushed into the room with a towel hanging on his neck and the other wrapped around his torso. "Yes, Princess?" He asked softly. His hair was wet and there were droplets of water on his body. "Come here," she ushered him closer as he grabbed the chair and pulled it closer to the bed before sitting on it. "Your hand?" She murmured as he placed his big hand in her small one and she gently placed it on her huge belly where she felt the movement and then the baby kicked. Draken's eyes went wide as he abruptly placed his other hand on her belly as well and the baby kicked again. He let out a happy chuckle before he placed his ear on her belly to hear. "What are you doing?" She asked with a small giggle. Draken has been treating her like a Princess. He was so protective of her. In the last few months, he won't even let her get out of bed. He has also been spoiling her with delicious food and she couldn't be happier. Hunter and Rasmus have sent
He didn't even let her register as he smashed his lips on hers in a much-needed kiss.Draken kissed her hungrily as he suckled on her lips. She placed her palms on his chest but he grabbed her wrists and held them on the door above her head with one of his hands. With his free hand, he grabbed her throat and tilted her head up for better excess.He slid his tongue into her mouth and sucked on her tongue before devouring her mouth.She kissed him back and he grunted in approval. He picked her up in his arms before walking to the small study table as he placed her on it.Her legs were wrapped around his torso as he kissed her hungrily. His hand moved down as he squeezed her hips, jerking her to him so she could feel how hard he was for her.She gasped as he grabbed her hand and made her rub his hardness over the pants. "Feel what you did to me, baby." He grunted licking the shell of her ears as she breathed heavily, her eyes wide as saucers as she watched him rubbing her hand over it.
A few days passed and they were still in the Moon pack. Eren and Charlotte have handled things back at the North pack.Xander has been anxious regarding Aurora's safety because Alonso was still roaming out there freely. But Hunter assured him that Draken would not let any harm come to Aurora."You ready?" Draken asked and Aurora bobbed her head. She was nervous as they walked down the stairs towards the lounge where everyone from the family was present.They stood in front of everyone hand in hand as they all looked at them expectantly. "We have something to announce," Draken said and Emma beamed at them because she already knew what was coming."I'm pregnant," Aurora said in a soft voice. Catherine and Angela both spring up from the sofa with a loud gasp and the next thing Aurora was engulfed in a tight hug by Cath and Nova hugged Draken. She had tears of joy swarming in her eyes.Hunter, who stood leaning near the window, smiled at his sister when he noticed Luca who was standing a
Aurora made special tea as she poured it into two cups and walked to the guest room where Nova was staying. She opened the door and walked inside with the tray, she placed it in front of them. Draken smiled at her and Nova held her hand and made her sit with them. After a few minutes, she stood up to leave but Draken held her wrist. "You both should spend some time together. There must be so much to talk about," Aurora whispered in a soft voice as she walked out not before giving Draken a reassuring smile. "Who did this to you, mom?" Draken asked, looking at the scar on her neck and she shook her head. Her face had that look of agony and she forced her eyes shut. "It doesn't matter. That was in the past. Let's not talk about it," She said, holding his big calloused hands as she scrutinized them. "How did you come here?" He asked. "I escaped when my last owner died. He was old but a kind man who only bought me as his maid. For a year I was just living on the streets," She whispere
"Promise me," Aurora whispered, wiping her tears. "Promise me you won't ever leave me again," She said with a trembling chin and he bobbed his head like a submissive child."I promise," He rasped as she hugged him tightly and he hugged her again. Closing his eyes he could feel the aching in his heart dissipating slowly. He rubbed her back as she calmed down a little. He opened his eyes. The feeling of someone looking at him has his eyes snapping in that direction and he froze.Aurora breaks the hug as she stood on her toes and kissed his cheek and the next thing she sprinted towards Hunter who shook his head at her knowing what was coming.At the end moment, he opened his arms and Aurora jumped on him. Hugging him tightly and he hugged her back."Thank you, Hunter." She murmured on his chest and his heart warmed up as he patted her head gently. She pulled back while beaming up at him and he cracked a smile before ruffling her hair and she whined pulling back. She wiped her face of al
She was crying as her tears wet his shirt but he didn't move away or disappeared. He hugged her tightly to his chest. She could hear the wild thumping of his heart. It was the same as her but she was afraid. So very afraid that he would disappear and it was just a dream."Baby," He rasped and tried to pull back but she didn't let him. She held him tightly and he again engulfed her in his embrace. His face dipped in the crook of her neck as he took a whiff of her scent to his heart's content but no matter how much he inhaled her intoxicating scent. He could never get enough of her.His warm lips dropped a kiss on her neck and then another a little lower. She was on her toes. Her nails dug into the skin of his nape but he didn't complain. He let her hold him."P...please," She pleaded, her voice a shaky whimper. Her whole body was trembling with raw emotions."Tell me it's n...not a dream," She whispered sniffing, he tried to break the hug to look at her but she clutched to him for dear
