Aurora breathed in deeply through her nose to calm herself down but it was a wrong move because all she could inhale was his scent all around her.Her heart was slamming against her ribcage hard and fast. She counted backward to divert her mind from her palms on his naked flesh and the crazy sparks. She was completely aware of his heavy muscular arm on her waist.She wanted to squeal, jump out of his embrace, and ran back to her room. Instead, she closed her eyes for a brief second before she slowly grabbed his hand that was on her waist and shifted in his arms so that her back was to him but she made no move to get out of his hold.Maybe he wasn't expecting her to submit so easily because his body tensed up. He was still lying straight and she hoped he would continue to lay like that but he had other things on his mind.Within a second his body shifted behind her and she felt his arm snaking around her waist as he jerked her closer. Her heart ceased to beat when he pushed her hair up
His back was towards her and she was rendered speechless. The dark ink that marked the muscles on his back had her unmoving as she ogled at his back with wide eyes. A dragon. There was a dragon tattoo on his back, the head of the dragon inked expertly on his neck. His muscles tensed under her gaze as he slowly turned around. Her big ocean eyes gaped at him. Her eyes lingered on his hard muscular chest and then those perfectly carved abs. The brush of trimmed hair on his chest. He was just in his sweats. Her eyes slowly moved up when they finally met the onyx hues as he narrowed his eyes at her. A blush crept up her cheeks as she abruptly turned around giving her back to him. "S...sorry," She whispered, her voice evidence of her flustered state. She contemplated running and saving herself from this weird intense situation but for how long would she continue to run away? A yelp left her lips when her arm was taken in a steel-like grip. The door was slammed shut and her back was
He couldn't help but think about their incident in the morning. The way she barged into his room and the way she told him that she was willing to give them a chance.She just took one eighty-degree turn. What happened? What was brewing in her head? He couldn't help but be suspicious of her.Why didn't she decide to give them a chance before? Why all of a sudden?Not being able to concentrate on his work. He opened the screen where the live footage of his mansion was on display.He found her in the kitchen making dinner. She was wearing a huge t-shirt that was double her size with black leggings. Her hair was in a braid as she was drowned in cooking.Ever since he commanded her to cook and clean. He has been watching her through cameras. How she was nill in cooking but she was learning slowly with the help of Charlotte. She looked pretty busy at the moment and it was obvious she was cooking more than one dish.He kept watching her. It was late and he was still in the packhouse. He was
Aurora freshened up as she lay down on the bed to relax a little.Her brows furrowed when she heard heavy footsteps approaching. She barely stood up when the door burst open and her heart lurched to her mouth when she noticed his eyes swarming with hues of gold in them. He was mad.Did he find out she sneaked into his study?He closed the door harshly and then locked it causing her to flinch. Her heart jumped to her mouth."I told you not to get involved in this," his voice was calm but it was filled with raw malice causing her heart to pump wildly."W..what?" She stammered shakily.He never goes into the study at the mansion then how did he find out?Draken prowled towards her like a predator and she stumbled a step back. Her eyes went wide when he hovered over her like a mad beast and her back touched the wall. "Didn't I tell you to stay out of it?" He asked menacingly, causing her heart to squeeze in pain at his ruthless tone."I..I.. didn't do a..anything," She stuttered while n
He was in the packhouse in his study when he opened the live cameras to check on her. He saw her going into his study. He narrowed his eyes at the screen. How did she get the keys?He opened the other screen where she was rummaging through the drawer and she found her phone. So, she was looking for her phone.Anger surged in when he saw her going through his important files. He knew very well what was in those files. He always kept his mafia-related files in the study back at the mansion and right now she was going through his stuff.Was she gaining Intel on him so she could pass the information to her father? He was pissed. This explains why all of a sudden she wanted to give them a chance because she needed time to collect info to help her father.He felt enraged as he hurried back home. He was angry at her. But she looked so timid and scared as if he would yell at her and she would faint. His eyes snared her luscious trembling lips and he was unable to stop himself. His wolf was lo
She was sleeping peacefully. Her chest moved up and down with soft breaths. Her skin was rosy and smooth. Her thick eyelashes. High cheekbones, those fluffy cheeks. Those luscious lips. The chin which always jutted out when she pouts. He breathed in deeply, filling his lungs with her scent.The rough pad of his thumb softly caressed her cheek. If only he could trust her. 'You're trusting her that's why you let her keep her phone,' The voice inside him speaks. Sighing he lay down beside her. Grabbing her waist he cuddled her closer as he dipped his head into her neck. He closed his eyes hoping the nightmares won't come back.He felt warm and relaxed with her in his arms and soon he drifted off to deep slumber.Aurora woke up groggily and stirred in her sleep. Her brows knitted together when she felt the familiar weight on her waist. Her eyes shot open wide as she pulled the blanket up and stared at that veiny arm dropped on her belly. Thankfully his hand didn't creep inside her shirt
She stared at the smashed pieces of her phone with wide horrified eyes. A shriek left her lips when he grabbed her jaw in a rough grip and redirected her gaze to him. He was hovering over her like a beast as she tried to pry his hand away from her face."L...leave me..." She wanted to sound strong but her voice betrayed her with its trembling."Why?" He gritted out and with each passing second his hold was becoming brutal and painful as his fingers dug in her soft flesh with a promise of leaving bruises.Tears caressed her cheeks as she tried to get out of his vicious grasp.She punched his arm and even clawed but he wasn't budging. She felt as if her jawbone would crush in his vice grip.His free hand wrapped around her locks and he yanked her hair roughly, jerking her head closer. Pain shot through her scalp as her eyes opened wide, meeting with the darkest onyx orbs. "F*cking answer me!" He roared.She wasn't even able to form words, she was that terrified.Draken let go of her r
Aurora slowly sank to the floor. But the chains were small so her wrist was still in the air hanging with the support of the restraints.Her shoulders slumped as she looked around hazily. She blinked to get rid of the tears. Crusty walls which smelt like blood. It made her feel sick to the stomach.She blinked at the wall where several torturing weapons were hanging like a canvas of death. He was about to use one of them on her.Her mate.Bitter tears blurred her vision again and she let her tears fall.No one has ever yelled at her back in her pack. Her father raised her like a princess. Her brothers were like her Knights in shining armor. She was protected from this cruel world.And now here she was in the dungeons. The one who put her in this place was none other than her mate.Her chin quivered no matter how much she tried to not cry but it was not in her control anymore.Pulling her knees to her chest, she hid her face and wept like a child.She didn't even do anything. How could
"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
