Aurora povI stood there staring at him to get an answer, then he broke the silent."Rumors have it that there are some people forming alliances to bring me down," the alpha said, his words filled with confidence. "So, before they increase in population, deceiving people and also brainwashing my citizens to start a war against me, I had to fish them out and do what has to be done."I looked at him, trying to see some signs of deceit or lies, but there were none. All I could see was the truth, which made me even more confused. Was it possible that the alpha was telling the truth, and that Ryder had indeed been a traitor? Or was the alpha just a skilled manipulator, able to make me believe whatever he wanted? I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story than what the alpha was letting on.I stared at the alpha, searching for any sign of deception or manipulation. But as I looked into his eyes, I saw only sincerity and conviction. His words were laced with all sorts of d
Aurora povBut actually it was the thought of the beta. Ever since that drama that happened that day in the room I haven't seen him.I quickly pulled out my notepad and wrote, "What about your beta?"I stared at the alpha's face, eager to get an answer. He smiled, but it seemed forced."Oh, I sent him on a mission, but you don't need to bother yourself. He would be back soon," the alpha said.I raised an eyebrow, confused and at the same time scared. "What type of mission?" I wrote, looking confused.The alpha chuckled. "Come on, it's nothing much. He just went to secure our Eastern border," he said, but his tone seemed unconvincing.I narrowed my eyes, sensing that the alpha was hiding something. Securing the Eastern border sounded like a vague excuse, and I couldn't wrap the feeling that there was more to the story.I wrote another question on my notepad, "How long will he be gone?"The alpha's smile faltered for a moment before he regained his composure. "Oh, not long. Just a few w
Aoura's povThe guard's sudden change in looks and behavior caught me off guard. He wasn't interested in hearing more about my meeting with the alpha, and instead, suggested we head to work."You know what? Hmmm... let's just go to work," he said, his voice a bit too casual. "You haven't gone to work since morning."I nodded, feeling a bit confused by the guard's behavior. We walked in silence, the only sound being the soft rustling of our footsteps. The guard didn't say another word, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind.As we walked, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The guard's sudden disinterest in my meeting with the alpha, combined with his unusual silence, left me with a little bit of unease. I looks at him sideways, trying to read his expression, but his face remained neutral.We continued walking in silence, the tension between us increases. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on inside the guard's head. Was he hiding somethi
Aurora's pov I felt the guard's arms tighten around me, holding me securely in place as he continued to move swiftly through the corridors. The alpha's voice grew fainter, and I sensed that we were putting distance between ourselves and the alpha's concerned would increase.As the guard's footsteps slowed, I felt relief. Maybe, just maybe, I was going to be okay. The guard's gentle voice whispered in my ear, "Hang in there, ma'am, we're almost there."I felt the guard's arms adjust around me, and then I was being lowered onto a soft surface. I opened my eyes to find myself in a small, dimly lit room. The guard was kneeling beside me, his face etched with concern."Ma'am, can you hear me?" he asked, his voice soft and gentle.I nodded, still trying to catch my breath. The pain was still there, but it had subsided slightly.The guard nodded and stood up. "I'll get the medic," he said, and quickly exited the room.I was left alone, my mind racing with questions. What was happening to me
Aurora's povI nodded, as I was feeling a mix of different emotions. The nurse's enthusiasm was infectious, but I couldn't let go of the fear and uncertainty that had been plaguing me since I discovered I was pregnant.The nurse seemed to sense my unease, and her expression softened. "Don't worry, we'll take good care of you and the baby," she reassured me. "But I do need to ask, have you experienced any complications or issues during your pregnancy so far?"I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But the nurse's kind and gentle manner put me at ease, and I found myself opening up to her about my symptoms and concerns.The nurse listened attentively, her expression growing more serious as I shared my concerns. When I finished, she nodded thoughtfully and made some notes in her book."Don't worry, we'll run some tests and make sure everything is okay," she said reassuringly. "But in the meantime, I want you to take it easy and get plenty of rest. Can you do that for me?"I nodded,
Aurora's povDays turned into weeks as I made a rapid recovery. Despite the guard's daily inquiries, I remained resolute in my decision to reject the alpha's proposal to visit me. I desperately needed time and space to think, rest, and nurture my unborn child.However, a pressing concern continues to be over me: how could I conceal my pregnancy from everyone, especially the alpha? My belly was starting to show, and it would become increasingly difficult to hide. The nurse was the only one aware of my condition, and I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep it under wraps.As my stomach continued to grow, I became more anxious about keeping my secret hidden. The guard, although well-intentioned, was becoming increasingly curious about my condition. I could sense his eyes on me, looking over my every move, and I knew it was only a matter of time before he discovered the truth.One day, as the nurse was making her rounds, she cautiously handed me a bundle of loose-fitting clothes. "Thes
Aurora's povDays continued to passed, one evening as I was sitting in my room, I heard a faint knock on the door. I looked up to see the nurse standing in the doorway, a sly smile on her face."Hey, I brought you some more of those loose-fitting clothes," she said, holding up a bag. "But I also have some news. I overheard the alpha talking to one of his advisors, and it sounds like he's planning something big."My heart skipped a beat as I took the bag from her. "What kind of something?" I asked, trying to keep calm as my curiosity was obvious judging from the way I was writing.The nurse leaned in close, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not entirely sure, but it sounds like it has something to do with you. And the alpha."My eyes widened as I felt a surge of fear. What could the alpha possibly have planned? And how could I protect myself and my unborn child?What do the alpha wants this time and what is he planning? I wrote. "To be honest, I don't know what he's planning," th
Aurora's povI tried to shake off his grip, but he held firm. but trembling slightly.The alpha's eyes narrowed. "You're not going to just walk away from this," he said. "We need to talk."I tried to struggle, but he was too strong. He pulled me back into the room, the reporter and the other guests watching in silence.The alpha dragged me to a private corner, blocking the people behind us. "What's going on?" he demanded, his eyes blazing with anger. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"I stood tall, trying to keep my composure steady. "I didn't think it was any of your business," I wrote.The alpha's face turned red with rage. "Not my business?" he repeated. "You're carrying a child, and it's not my business?"I shook my head. "Yes I'm carrying my child," I wrote, showing him to his face, as my hand shaking.The alpha's eyes narrowed. "Don't lie to me," he growled. "I know but it is a child you carrying. And I'll do whatever it takes care of it, since you are a loner in this c
Asher povIt was raining. I was standing in front of the window, at the window, looking outside, as my heart shuddered to every boom of the rainstorms. I was standing with the twins. I was looking away from outside, at something, to looking at them, and their eyes were distorted in fear. They were afraid of the rain. I breathed as I moved towards them."Hello, children, don't fear. I am here with you," I whispered, stooping down to their level."We want our mummy," responded one of the twins, his voice shaking and pathetic."Don't fear, you will meet your mummy soon, and we will stay together," I said, trying to smile."We don't know you, sir. We want our mummy!" both of them shrieked at the same time."Shut up you two, okay? You're driving me crazy here," I shouted back, banging my head. But shouting didn't appear to be doing any good, for they persisted, but louder. Their din, combined with the anger of the thunderstorm, was tightening the whole atmosphere in the room.Suddenly, and
Aurora povMy guard, who was sitting beside me, seemed to sense my unease. He placed a reassuring hand on my arm. "We'll find them, Aurora," he said, his voice low and steady.I nodded, taking a deep breath. I had to stay focused. For the twins' sake, I had to stay strong.Before long, the plane began its descent into the alpha's city. I felt a flutter in my chest as I gazed out the window at the unfamiliar landscape below.As we touched down on the runway, I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was one step closer to finding my twins. And I wouldn't rest until they were safely back in my arms.The flight was smooth, and I spent the time going over everything that had happened so far, trying to piece together the puzzle.I could feel a sense of anticipation building up inside me. What would the alpha tell me? Would he have any news about my twins?We were greeted by one of the alpha's guards, who escorted us to the alpha's mansion. As we arrived, the alpha himself came out to
Aurora povAll my efforts to threaten Asher, to see if he was the one who kidnapped my twins, had been in vain. My patience was fading away, and I needed to find a way to get them back. With each passing day without my twins, my frustration grew.As I dwelled in my misery, my phone rang. I was surprised to hear the voice on the other end. "Hello, Aurora. It's been a while," he said, his voice loud and clear."Yes, it has," my guard replied, coughing after speaking. "Aurora, I heard what happened to you. I know it's been hard for you these past few days," the alpha said, his voice low and sympathetic."Thank you," my guard said, reading the words I wrote on my notepad. "I'm sorry I didn't inform you. I had a lot on my mind.""I understand," the alpha replied. "Who would blame you? I was paid a visit by Alpha Asher. He was the one who told me about the kidnapping of your twins. That was the main reason he came here.""Asher was in your city?" my guard asked, sounding surprised. "And he
Asher povI decided to close the paper, not wanting to know what was on it. I stormed out of the house, driving out as if I was like a thief. We went straight to where I hide my twins, and with every turn I made, I looked at my rearview mirror on my car to check if I was being followed.As I drove, my heart was racing with anticipation and fear. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched, and the thought of being followed sent a chill down my spine. I glanced at my rearview mirror again, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Still, I couldn't relax, my senses on high alert as I navigated the winding roads. Finally, I arrived at the safe house, a nondescript building nestled in a secluded area. I breathed a sigh of relief as I pulled into the driveway, feeling a sense of security wash over me.I turned off the engine and sat for a moment, collecting my thoughts. I had been hiding my twins here for days now, and it was starting to feel like a permanent solution. But I knew it
Asher povI spent the rest of the day with Sofia, trying to reassure her that everything would be okay. But the guilt was eating away at me, making it harder and harder to keep up the act.As the sun began to set, I knew I had to get out of there before I cracked under the pressure. I made an excuse about needing to check on some pack business, and Sofia nodded understandingly."I'll be fine," she said. "I'm just going to rest for a bit."I nodded and smiled, feeling like a traitor. As I left the guard's quarters, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was walking further and further down a path from which I might never return.I made my way back to my own quarters, my mind racing with thoughts of Sofia, the baby, and Aurora. I knew I had to come up with a plan to deal with Aurora once and for all, but I was running out of time.As I entered my quarters, I was greeted by the sound of my phone buzzing. I picked it up, hoping for a distraction from my thoughts. But my heart sank as I saw t
Asher povThis was all coming down on me like a hammer, and I didn't know how to handle it. I had to be patient until Sofia gave birth, and also avoid Aurora. I would try my best not to meet her.I took a deep breath and tried to clear my head. I had to think clearly and come up with a plan. I couldn't let Aurora get to me, and I couldn't let Sofia's pregnancy complicate things further.I decided to focus on one thing at a time. First, I had to make sure Sofia was safe and healthy until she gave birth. Then, I could deal with Aurora and figure out what to do about the twins.I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was going to get through this, no matter what it took. I was going to protect Sofia, the twins, and myself, no matter what dangers lay ahead.With newfound resolve, I headed back to my car, ready to face whatever challenges came my way.As I drove away, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. I glanced in the rearview mirror, but saw nothing out of the
Asher pov I waited for a few moments, my senses on high alert, but there was no further noise. I let out a slow breath and relaxed slightly, thinking that maybe I had just imagined it.But then, I heard it again. This time, it was louder and closer. It sounded like footsteps, crunching through the underbrush outside the cabin.I motioned to my pack members to get into position, and we all moved quietly to the windows and doors, ready to defend ourselves if necessary.The footsteps got closer and closer, and then, suddenly, a figure appeared at the window. It was a woman, and she looked frantic."Alpha Asher," she whispered urgently. "I need to talk to you."I recognized the woman as one of Aurora's office personnel, and my instincts told me to be cautious. But there was something in her eyes that made me trust her, at least for the moment.I nodded, and motioned for her to come inside. She slipped in quietly, and I could see that she was shaking with fear."What is it?" I asked her,
Asher povMy mother nodded, tears streaming down her face. "I understand, Asher. I'm so sorry for what I did. I promise to never interfere in your life again."I looked at her, searching for any sign of deception. But all I saw was genuine remorse."I want you to leave the pack, Mother," I said, my voice firm. "I want you to go somewhere and reflect on your actions. Maybe then you'll understand why what you did was so wrong."My mother nodded again, this time with a hint of sadness. "I'll go, Asher. I'll leave the pack and give you the space you need."I watched as she turned and walked away, feeling a mix of emotions. I was relieved that the truth was finally out, but I was also sad that my mother had sunk so low.As I stood there, holding my twins close, I knew that I had to move forward. I had to focus on rebuilding my relationship with my children and making sure they were safe and know me.I looked down at my twins, who were looking up at me with big, curious eyes. "Let's go home
Asher povMy mother's expression changed, and she looked at me with a mixture of sadness and desperation. "I was trying to protect you, Asher. I was trying to protect our family's reputation.""By kidnapping innocent children?" I asked, my voice rising in anger.My mother took a step forward, her hands clasped together. "I know it was wrong, but I didn't know what else to do. Sofia is getting suspicious, and I knew it was only a matter of time before she found out about your children with Aurora."I shook my head, feeling a wave of disgust wash over me. "You should have trusted me to handle it, Mother. You should have trusted me to protect my own family."My mother's eyes filled with tears, and she fell to her knees. "I'm sorry, Asher. I'm so sorry. I was blinded by my own fears and doubts."I stood there, looking at my mother, feeling a mix of emotions: anger, disappointment, and sadness. I didn't know what to do, or how to process what had just happened.As I stood there, trying to
