Synopsis: This was the first time that he was speaking up for me against his family, and I won’t lie, I'm deeply shocked and touched by this act. “And regarding what you said Ava,” Asher started, making her raise her brow in confusion. I wasn’t left out either. She said a lot of things. “I would never let her bear my children,” He said with an indication of cruelty in his voice as my heart sank. “Then what about the child I was carrying now?” I couldn’t help but wonder.
View MoreI stood there in front of him with a lot on my mind. I had to find a way to make him not say a word to Asher, because if it reached Asher's ears about my location and my progress in this city, he would come after me.I held my notepad with my pen tight in my hand, as I had a lot to write to try to convince him."Let me check to see if the coast is clear for you to go," Ryker said, trying to peek through from the corner where we were standing. But I dragged him back to me."What!" he yelled with a low voice, looking at me strangely.I quickly wrote on my notepad, showing him right in front of his face: "It's about Asher.""What about him?" he asked, looking confused."Please, I beg of you, don't tell him you saw me here," I wrote.Ryker's expression changed, and he looked at me with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. He took the notepad from me and wrote, "Why not? What does Alpha Asher have to do with you?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about
Aurora's pov I was relieved that the beta had dropped the subject of Ryker. I began to scribble some notes on my pad, trying to appear thoughtful.As I wrote, I couldn't help but think about Ryker's unexpected arrival. What was he doing here? And why did he seem to recognize me?I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the task at hand. I had to keep up the charade, at least for now."I think I remember something," I wrote, I remember he was very tall."The beta's eyes lit up with interest. "That's a great lead," he said. "I'll make sure to investigate further."I nodded,I had managed to deflect the beta's suspicions, at least for now. But I knew that I couldn't keep up the act forever. Eventually, the truth would come out, and I would have to face the consequences.Let's go back to the alpha, the beta said, as we both turned to the alpha with a faded smile. We walked up to the alpha, as the alpha was expecting either one of us to say something."I think we have overstressed Aurora f
Aurora's pov There was no sign of giving up from the alpha and beta, as they were both determined. I just stood there in shock, staring at the both of them, as I held my pen tight on my notepad.The alpha noticed my discomfort as he looked at me with a worried look. "Do you have anything to write that could help us?" the alpha asked.I didn't even nod or shake my head; it was as if my whole body was frozen, with my eyebrows widely open."Hmmm, I understand we are stressing you, judging from your condition," the alpha said, "but I just want to tell you that we mean well for you."I let out a deep breath of frustration, as I was getting tired of the situation. The whole room was filled with silence, as both the beta and alpha had nothing else to say. Then, after what felt like eternity, there was a knock at the door that broke the silence."Who is there?" the alpha yelled, as his voice gave me a bit of fear.The door cracked open, and it was one of the beta's guards. "You came with goo
Aurora pov Just when the alpha was about to speak, the beta's phone rang. "Sorry, my alpha," the beta said, walking away from us to a corner of the room.I turned to the beta, trying to hear his conversation, but all I could hear was just murmurs. A while later, he walked back to us, looking at us with a big smile on his face."It looks like my investigation is moving faster than I expected," the beta said. "Aurora, immediately after we spoke yesterday night, I called some of my sources, and they were able to get me some information which I would say would be quite useful for me.""Wait, you two spoke last night?" the alpha asked, looking confused."Just forget about that, my alpha," the beta said.The alpha turned to me, but I only gave a faded smile."My sources said they just caught two suspected rapists," the beta said. "I think Aurora should follow me, maybe she could recognize something."Immediately, the beta spoke those words, my heart started racing fast, and I began trembli
Aurora pov I stood there, my heart pounding out of my chest, as they both stared at me. Waiting for me to start writing, I held my notepad tight to my chest, my finger tapping at the surface of the notepad, not knowing what to say, thinking of different things to say."I believe you have rested enough, Aurora," the alpha said, his voice raising in venom. "Time to start writing, because I can't accommodate a child, who we don't know who the father is.""You want to still bring that up again?" the beta asked."Yes," the alpha replied, "and moreover, you spoke something about Aurora hiding something. Is there anything I need to know?" The alpha asked, his eyes narrowing at me.Maybe the alpha knows about the beta's past, I thought to myself. I have to tell him to take the attention away from me.I opened my notepad to write: "Am sorry I was afraid to tell you, but I was raped."They both came nearer to read what I wrote."What?" the alpha exclaimed. "Am very sorry, I know how you feel.
Aurora's pov The guard's eyes locked onto mine, filled with a deep sadness. "You see, ma'am, the beta's anger against rape isn't just about justice. It's personal. And now, with your... situation, he's even more driven to uncover the truth."I felt a cold creeping all over my body as I realized the gravity of my actions. I had unwittingly dragged the beta's dark past into the spotlight, and now he was more determined than ever to uncover the truth.The guard's voice brought me back to reality. "Please, ma'am, you must promise me that you won't tell the beta that I told you this. He would never forgive me if he knew that I had shared this with you."I nodded, still trying to process the weight of the guard's words. I felt like I was trapped in a web of my own making, with no clear escape.I nodded again, trying to reassure the guard that I would keep his secret. He looked at me with a serious expression, then nodded and unlocked the door.As he opened the door, I saw the beta standing
Aurora's pov Despite pushing the feeling aside, it still kept disturbing me. It just seemed like the more I was trying to find a way out, the more I was multiplying my problems. Adding more lies wasn't the best idea I would have come up with, but the deal had already been done. I would have to face the consequences.I felt unease as the guilt settled in the pit of my stomach. Every time I thought about the web of lies I had spun, I felt like I was drowning in my own deceit. The beta's words kept echoing in my mind "I'll will find thr rapist no matter what it takes." But what if he didn't? What if the beta saw right through my lies?I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead as I thought about the possibilities. I had never been a good liar, and now I was trapped in a situation where my lies could have disastrous consequences.As I walked around the room, I couldn't help but feel like I was walking on thin ice. One wrong move, one misstep, and everything could come crashing down aro
Aurora's pov The tension was beginning to increase, as the beta wasn't ready for anymore conversation. "I understand," I wrote, trying to look calm. "But I don't see how finding the person will change anything."The beta's expression turned grim. "It will change everything, Aurora. The alpha will not rest until he finds out who the father of your child is. And if we don't find him first, the alpha will assume it's me. Do you understand what that means?"I just nodded. Because I knew that if the alpha assumed the beta was the father of my child, it would mean disaster for the beta."It means the alpha will punish me, and possibly even exile me from the pack," the beta said, his voice low and serious. "And it will also put you and your child in danger. The alpha will not take kindly to being deceived."I felt fear at the beta's words. I had never intended for things to go this far. I had only been trying to protect myself and my child."What can we do?" I wrote, feeling a sense of des
Aurora povThe nurse smile was unstoppable as I smiled back at the nurse, feeling a appreciated. "Thanks for playing along," I wrote. "I owe you one."The nurse chuckled and patted my hand. "Don't worry about it, dear. I'm just glad I could help. But seriously, you need to be careful. The alpha is getting suspicious, and if he finds out you're hiding something from him, there will be consequences."I nodded, feeling a shiver run down my spine. I knew the nurse was right. I had to be careful if I wanted to keep my secrets safe.The nurse helped me settle in for the night, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.With that, she smiled and slipped out of the room, leaving me to wonder what she had discovered.I knew I couldn't pretend forever. The alpha would be back, and he wouldn't take no for an answer. He needed the truth.Few minutes after nurse left, leaving me to rest. As I wasn't able to sleep, I found myself rolling on my bed, my mind racing with thoughts and w
Aurora’s POV. I walked out of the hospital with the paper in my hand. I had to walk towards a vacant seat which was designed for patients in the hospital to sit and receive fresh air. I sat slowly, as I opened the paper with trembling hands, and glanced through it. Slowly, the look on my face was replaced with that of shock. “What?” I thought as I glanced all over the paper for the umpteenth time. “I’m pregnant,” I thought with wide eyes, wondering why I became pregnant now. I became confused if it was possible to let my husband know or if I could hide it from him. “Asher wouldn’t be happy about this, I’m so sure about it,” I said to myself, still glancing at the paper before I slowly folded it back and returned it to the envelope. I decided to walk home slowly so I could also sort my thoughts. Staying in a marriage where I didn’t feel loved was enough to shatter my heart every day, but I still didn’t have the right to leave. Asher just hated me because the moon goddess fate...
