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

    Her whole body felt as if it was crushed under a huge weight. Pain. That was all she could feel as she tried to open her eyes but her eyelids wouldn't budge. Her whole body was paralyzed. She was partially aware of her surroundings, there were people around her talking in hushed voices. She tried again but her body wasn't cooperating with her and there was that presence inside her. It was strong and familiar. She could feel it in her soul and just like that she scummed into darkness again.The next time Aurora woke up, she was feeling better as her eyes fluttered open. She groaned as she rubbed her temple to ease the pain. She squinted her eyes at the ceiling. She was in Draken's room. She recalled all the happenings and her heart constricted in pain as she tried to sit up and severe pain shot through her stomach as she winced and palmed the wound. Pushing the blanket away she stared at her clothes. She was just in a shirt that smelled like him. A shiver ran down her spine thinking t

    He grabbed her arm in an attempt to stop her but she yanked her arm out of his hold rather roughly."Don't touch me," She hissed and he prowled towards her before standing in front of her blocking her way."You can't leave," he said calmly but she was mad. She has lost her calm."Says, who?" She asked sharply but she didn't sound so rude because her voice was gentle."Your Alpha." He said.Aurora let out a dry humorless chuckle as she glared at him."Enough of this Mr. Alpha. I'm not scared of you anymore. I won't let you strip me of my rights. I won't let you manhandle me. I won't let you treat me like a mole and I won't let you use me as your bait. I'm done being your maid. I tried to make it work but I can't waste my life on your stubbornness of being the big bad Alpha. Congratulations. I'm leaving." The silver in her eyes was shining. Her wolf had changed her personality like boom. Or maybe she's always like this when angry.Draken gulped. His Adam apple bobbed up and down as he p

    Draken was back in the room holding a tray in his hands as he placed it on the bed in front of her."I'm not good at it. You'll have to bear with it," He said and Aurora gaped at the bowl of hot steamy soup and then at him. No wonder he made her do all the cooking.Aurora grabbed a spoon as she took a spoon full and it wasn't that bad. He was leaning against the wall beside the window staring at her expectantly as if he was waiting for her to vomit and make a yuck face."It's okay." She said and he peeled his gaze off of her. He walked to the closet, grabbed a shirt and he stepped into the ensuite bathroom.Aurora drank her soup in small sips as he walked out of the bathroom freshly showered. Blood was gone and she wondered if he had healed fully.He sat on the couch and set his eyes on her once again. He stared at her foot which was wrapped in bandages. She looked so pale and weak. It was all because of him and his damaged emotions.He recalled how pack doctors had told him that she

    Draken was in the garden. He loves to spend his time in this peaceful place. This place helps him clear his mind. This was a barren place. Nobody takes care of it. It was that woman who made this backyard into beautiful heaven. Each of the flowers in this place was lovingly planted by her. She was the one who made this barren place into this garden which became Draken's sanctuary.He recalled the time he had spent with her at this place. Talking to her as she consoled him on many occasions. She taught him how to love again.Shaking his head he rubbed his palms on his face and sighed. The cool breeze felt calming. It was cold outside. It will be snowing soon; these days.He rubbed his palm together when a light sneeze from some distance had his body going on full alert. Every muscle in his body tensed up. He didn't even smell someone else. With steady steps, he walked closer to where the sound came from. His eyes narrowed when he noticed a fur gown of snow white shade and then long bl

    She limped out of his room and stepped into her room. She stared at his shirt and quickly changed and wore his shirt and then she grabbed pajamas from her cupboard and wore them.Her bed looked pretty appealing to her. Maybe she should just sleep here.She was about to get on the bed when a knock was heard before the door opened to reveal shirtless Draken which caused her innocent eyes to broaden as she instantly looked away.He didn't say anything. No questions, no argument. He just walked up to her. Picked her up in his arms bridal style before walking back to his room.He placed her on the bed and she noticed a first-aid box there as well."Pull your shirt up to your chest." He instructed and she stared at him dumbfounded. "Charlotte just did it yesterday," Aurora said."Doctor said to change them daily," He said and she hesitated."I can do it myself," she mumbled and he raised his onyx eyes to meet her gaze."Let me do it, Aurora." His deep voice left no space for argument as she

    Aurora has almost healed. She wasn't doing any house chores and to her surprise, he had hired a maid to do all the chores.It's been three days and she couldn't stop thinking about that night. He let her see his vulnerable side and it was stuck with her now, roaming in her head like a mantra.She had noticed the change in his behavior. Though he wasn't a kind and gentle person. He tried to be gentle with her. He changed her bandages every night and treated her wounds with utmost care.She wanted to talk to him about the words he had said."Please, don't ever leave me. I'll die this time."She wondered who was cruel enough to hurt him this much. She wanted to console him. Be his comfort but she was afraid herself. Draken wasn't the safe option for her. Either their boat would sail or would drown pretty badly, she didn't know.And then there were those mafia-related files she had seen. Everything aside, she could never accept a man who was involved in hideous crimes like human trafficki

    "I...uh... thank you," She mumbled as she noticed that he had already saved his number in her phone.He kept silent, munching on his food. Aurora also noticed that all her contacts were on this phone. He was being too merciful to her.She wanted to ask him so many questions but she didn't. She didn't want to ruin the peaceful environment. She should take things slow one at a time."I want to train," She mumbled and his eyes glided back to her face."Okay," He retorted and her jaw slacked.Wait."Okay?" She asked in a little high-pitched tone full of surprise.He blinked at her, feigning innocence. "Yeah," He breathed, shoving food in his mouth."I'll join beta Eren with the morning training," She said all excited."No," he deadpanned and her face fell."But," She whispered sullenly."I'll be the one training you," He proclaimed and she gawked at him.She can't train with him. He'll be the strict cold trainer who would surely make her regret even thinking about training."B...but, I'm

    A knock on the door caught her attention as the door opened and Draken stepped in. His huge stature blocked the whole doorway. She looked at him expectantly and he flitted his gaze away. "I've to attend a party tonight. Be ready by 7." He said and she blinked at him confused. "I uh... I don't have a dress," She mumbled, still muddled. "I've ordered a dress, you'll receive it in an hour." He said and she tilted her head with furrowed brows. "Is it in the pack?" She asked. "No, it's in the city," He said and her frown deepened. "Okay," She mumbled as he glanced at her once before leaving. She stared at the closed door for a while. He was taking her out to a party. She recalled how in the beginning he said he didn't want her family to know that she was doing okay. From what she had learned. He would treat her with respect and care in front of his pack but he didn't want anyone else to know about this and she wondered why. Just as he said, she received the dress. She took it out

    "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
