"What?" Draken watched him stunned. Eren lowered his eyes in shame as his eyes glossed up and he clutched the bars with such force that his knuckles turned white. "This despicable woman is my mother," His voice was full of raw emotions and Draken felt his heart squeezing in his chest. Nothing made sense at the moment. How could Eren be his brother? "What the f*ck are you spouting!" Draken snarled. His hold tightened on Adele's throat as her face started to go pale and she clawed at Draken's face and neck but he wouldn't budge. "She blackmailed me to keep her up to date regarding you or else she would reveal my truth to you," Eren said in a hoarse voice. Draken breathed in deeply as he jerked Adele away with such force that she fell on the floor coughing wildly while wheezing. Draken walked towards Eren as the guards moved aside. They had their weapons pointing at Draken but he didn't give a f*ck. "Open this door!" Draken hissed at the guards and no one dared to move. "I'll ta
"So are you willing to marry my daughter?" The King asked impatiently. Draken sighed. How he wished he could kill this f*cker of a King but then his daughter would suffer more and Alonso would take over the kingdom. Everything was messed up shit. "No," Draken said and a scowl of offense marred the King's face. Before he could say anything they heard a commotion from outside and the giant doors of the hall burst open and there stood Hunter. He looked pissed. His eyes met Draken's for a second before he stared at the King and walked inside. The atmosphere of the hall has dropped severely. Hunter walked like a f*cking King of the world. His shoulders were squared and his chest was puffed out as his jade eyes kept focused on the King who watched him in dead silence. Draken's Alpha aura was so much for the guards to deal with and now there was another powerful Alpha in the same hall. It was obvious as the day that if they both wanted, they could finish the Alpha King in seconds but t
Eren got into the backseat, Charlotte was already seated as the driver assigned by the chief took his seat on the driving seat and put the car to drive.Charlotte kept staring out as she stayed mum not saying a word.Her heart was bleeding. Eren didn't even bother to share it with her. He was in pain and emotional stress all this time. She even noticed the change in him and inquired what was wrong but he never told her. Often when he used to get a call, he looked tense and worried but he didn't think for once to share it with her. His mate."Charlotte," His voice was low as he gently placed his hand on hers that was on the seat between them.Charlotte slowly pulled her hand away from his and instantly wiped the tear that escaped her eye.His heart clenched in his chest looking at her like this. Hurt because of him. He never wanted to hurt her. He was just scared that she might stop loving him. The passion with which Charlotte hates Adele was immense. He thought that Charlotte would al
"I will always love you," Draken whispered in her ear as Aurora clutched to him with her dear life. "I love you too," She said shakily. Her heart thumped wildly in her chest with such force, she was afraid that it would burst out of her rib cage."I'll always remember you," he rasped and with each of his words, her heart fell into the pit of her stomach."Why are you saying all this as if you're leaving me?" Her voice was a quivering mess as her fingers dug into his shoulders.He tried to pull back but she didn't let go as she continued to cling to him. But then he grabbed her wrists and peeled her off of him.He created distance between them as he grabbed her shoulders and peered into her eyes."I've to go, princess." He said before he kneeled. Grabbing her hips he pulled her closer before kissing her full pregnant belly."No, don't say that." She whispered, holding his wrist tightly and he sighed, standing up.He stepped closer and her belly was the only distance between their bodi
Rasmus called the doctor as Aurora hugged Emma's torso, her head resting on her lap. Emma gently caressed her hair.Xander and Rasmus stood beside the bed looking at Aurora's disheveled state. It was obvious she had a pretty bad dream. Rasmus hated this. Catherine often had nightmares and he always comforted her. It hurts him knowing he could do nothing to stop them. He didn't want Aurora to go through this pain of nightmares. "He's fine," Aurora was mumbling to herself. Emma tried to ask about the baby but Aurora refused to answer.She wasn't crying anymore but her eyes held a faraway look as if she wasn't with them.Early dawn was on the brink when the doctor walked into the room.Aurora didn't stop her from doing a checkup on her. She just lay there quietly gazing at the ceiling. When the doctor was done. She smiled looking at Emma. "Congratulations, she's pregnant," the doctor informed and Emma cupped her mouth as tears of happiness gathered in her eyes.It was beautiful news f
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
"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
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
