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
