Aurora pov He stepped closer to me, and I could feel the rage in his breath. "Aurora, I don't want to repeat myself. What was the meaning of what you wrote on that sheet of paper?" he asked, pointing at the crumpled paper in my hand.I took a deep breath, trying to relieve myself from the frequency of how my heart was pounding off my chest. My fear was also becoming obvious, as my hands were shaking while I tried to open my notepad to write some kind of explanation that would get me out of that situation."Didn't you hear me? I want some reply now," the beta yelled with a slightly raised voice.I was frightened by his voice, which made me drop my notepad on the floor."Can't you answer the question? What is making you scared?" the beta said, putting on a disgusting look.I bent down to pick my notepad up, still thinking of words to write. Before I could write anything, he said something that made me realize what to reply."Aurora, what are you really hiding from us?" the beta asked,
Aurora povI felt relief, and my tense muscles relaxed slightly. With the beta away on a mission, I wouldn't have to deal with his questioning and suspicious looks."The alpha wants you to know that everything is under control, and you're safe here," the guard said, his expression softening.I nodded, trying to appear grateful and reassured. But my mind was already racing with thoughts of how I could use this temporary reprieve to my advantage."Thank you for letting me know," I wrote, trying to look calm.The guard nodded and turned to leave. "If you need anything, just let me know," he said.I nodded and watched as he closed the door behind him. As soon as I was alone, I let out a sigh of relief and began to pace back and forth across the room.I had to think of a way to get out of here before the beta returned. But for now, I had a small window of opportunity to come up with a plan.But first, I would have to resume work. I know I wouldn't be as strong as I was before, due to my pr
Aurora pov Rising up to the challenge, my twins weren't easy to care for, especially while also building a career. I watched them grow from days to months to years.As I navigated the ups and downs of motherhood and entrepreneurship, the alpha remained a constant presence in our lives. He was a devoted man to our twins, and I couldn't help but feel a deep affection for him. But our relationship was complicated, and I wasn't sure if we could ever find our way back to each other.As the years passed, my twins grew into strong, capable little children. They had their father's fierce loyalty and my determination, and I couldn't be prouder of them. But as they approached adulthood, I knew that I had to confront the secrets of our past and the truth about their birth. It wouldn't be easy, but I was ready to face whatever lay ahead...On their three birthday, the alpha threw a big party for them. The alpha's love, which he had shown to my twins, made me trust him with them, and I accepted t
Aurora pov I looked up at him, my eyes locking onto his. For a moment, we just stared at each other, the tension between us increased.Then, without thinking, I reached out and placed my hand on his chest. It was a unsettled touch, but the alpha's eyes flared with heat as he covered my hand with his own.We sat there for a moment, our hands touching, our hearts pounding in unison. It was a moment of raw connection, of unspoken understanding.And then, in a movement that seemed almost inevitable, the alpha leaned in and pressed his lips to mine...I felt his soft lips against mine. I couldn't resist it; it was getting too intense. I had to pull him back. Our breathing was heavy, and we were lost in the moment. He couldn't stop, and I felt like he couldn't resist me. We were in our own world, and he couldn't stop looking at me. He tried to come close again, but I pushed him back by his chest, feeling his heart beating rapidly.I pushed the alpha away, trying to catch my breath. His eye
Aurora pov I felt a shiver run down my spine as I wondered if I should go. But something about the message drew me in, making me feel like I had to know what the alpha wanted..."No, I wouldn't go," I thought to myself. I distracted my mind away from the thought, making some analyses for my fashion business. As it had become one of the biggest growing businesses in the city, both the alpha's influence and my hard work had taken me this far.As I sat at my desk, pouring over designs and financial reports, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over me. My fashion business had come a long way, and I knew that I owed a lot of it to the alpha's influence and support.But I also knew that I had worked incredibly hard to get to this point. I had put in countless hours, pouring my heart and soul into every aspect of the business. And it had paid off.As I analyzed the latest sales figures and customer feedback, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. I knew that there were s
Asher povIt was about getting to four years now, since Aurora ran away, and I hadn't heard anything from her. This past few years was like a battle between my heart and brain. My heart still wondered if she was okay, and my brain just wanted to concentrate and focus on my life in front of me.I stood in front of the bedroom mirror, preparing for my meeting, with my expensive suit matching up to my muscular body, forcing a smile on my face. My brown eyes blurred. I took a deep breath, turning to Sophia, who was still lying on the bed, after coming late from her countless parties she had been having over the years.I walked up to her, tapping her to wake her up. "Good morning, my angel," I said, still making an effort, despite her stubborn behavior on waking up."Oh...I hate you," she said, her eyes still closed, but her voice murmuring in anger. "How many times have I warned you not to wake me up?""I just want to tell you that I am about to leave for work, that's all," I said, feelin
Asher povThe tension was high, as my mother looked at me in a weird look."Mother, I have told you countless times that she isn't ready. What did you expect me to do, force her?" I said."She said she is still young and beautiful, and she doesn't want to spoil her shape for me," I added, rushing my glass of juice in frustration."Just hear yourself; what is the meaning of what you are saying? Has she gone mad? And why would you accept that kind of rubbish?" she asked, hitting the table with anger.I sighed, feeling a headache coming on. This was not the first time my mother had brought up the topic of Sophia getting pregnant, and I knew it wouldn't be the last."Mother, please understand. Sophia is not ready to have children yet. And even if she was, it's not like I can force her to get pregnant," I said, trying to reason with her.My mother's expression turned red with anger. "You're the alpha! You should be able to control your luna! And what's with this nonsense about not wanting
Asher povI looked at Johnson, his words striking a chord within me. Was I settling for Sophia? Was she truly the right luna for me?"Johnson, you're right," I said, feeling a bit of clarity. "I need to take control of this situation. I need to be the alpha."Johnson nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "That's the spirit, bro! Now, go out there and show Sophia who's boss."I laughed, feeling a load of determination. I was going to take control of my life, and I was going to start with Sophia.Just then, my assistant knocked on the door. "Alpha, Sophia is here to see you."I raised an eyebrow, a sense of irony. Speak of the devil."Send her in," I said, standing up and smoothing out my clothes.Johnson stood up, clapping me on the back. "Good luck, bro. You're going to need it."I smiled, feeling gratitude towards my friend. With a deep breath, I prepared myself for the confrontation that was about to ensue...Sophia walked in, showing me her phone screen with anger, and said, "
Asher povI turned to leave, but just when I was about to hold the room door handle, I felt a sharp pain coming from my chest. "Haha!" I shouted with pain as my face twisted."If your anger is too much for you to handle, you can do it outside this room, instead of yelling in front of me," Sophia said, her voice calm and low behind me. I could feel that she shouted, but to my ears, her voice was low.I tried to compose myself, but the pain came again, and this time, I was on one knee, down with my face down also. I had never felt that pain all my life. It was as if thousands of sharp knives were piercing through my chest."What is wrong with you, Asher?" Sophia asked, but still, her voice was very low to my ears. "Am I the one drunk here, but it's you who's affected?""I'm not joking here," I said, falling down with a blink. I was already lying on the floor.The next thing I knew, everywhere was blurry, and the whole ceiling was as if it was falling down towards me. I looked around, on
Asher povI stepped across onto the other side and onto the other side, with the elder's frown on me but never ever looking at some one thing behind me over my own shoulder. I knew that I had to keep my mind fixed on saving the twins from abuse and tyranny in the custody of Aurora.I walked back to my car, my mind reeling with images of what might come next. I knew that Aurora was not going to slink away in the shadows, and I had to be ready for anything she would try.I returned to my car and I saw there was a note on the windshield. I strode over to read it and it was a message in red ink:"You'll never take them away from me."I was able to escape after I knew Aurora wrote the letter. She was slightly more deranged than I thought, and I knew I'd do to myself what I'd do for keeping the twins.I clutched the letter in my hand and drove as quickly as my car into the car, and my mind was racing at top speed with ideas of shielding the twins from harm.I began the engine and accelerate
Asher povThere was a tense environment in the room as I gazed at Aurora's frowning face."Please, you all, sit down," one of the elders interrupted.Her PA, reading what she had noted down, interrupted her reading, and Aurora's face reflected the seething fire raging inside.We sat facing each other, so I didn't need to glance at her, so my gaze was elsewhere. She remained quiet, but fingers were never far from putting pen to paper."As I have just mentioned, I would not have lived if it were not for my twins," read her PA what she had written."You don't just make decisions like that in front of us," one of the elders, who was the oldest among them, protested. "Just now we learned your twins are also the blood of Alpha Asher, and therefore we cannot let you take them away from us without a decision on it."Aurora's eyes reddened with rage as she seethed and penned furiously in her book. Her PA translated to her what she had retorted, "I am their mother, and I have a right to take th
Asher povI stared at the baby, whose eyes his were still tight in a horrific intensity. I moved back as it started to register that something was wrong with this child.The knock on the door pulled us out of it, and I moved towards the door to open it. "Enter," I snarled, my voice sharp.The door creaked open and one of my guards pushed a nurse ahead of him. "My alpha, we've brought the baby for some tests," the nurse gushed with a smile. I nodded, a bit nervously. "Very well. But return him to my chambers soon."The nurse smiled and extended her gentle hand to take the baby, and she glowed from face to shoulders. She took a step backward, and I reached out and caught her arm to keep her close. "Wait," I said."Yes, my alpha?" she turned back questioningly to face me."Be gentle with him," I commanded, not taking my eyes off the baby. "He's.different."The nurse's face cleared, and she nodded gravely. "I'll take good care of him, my alpha."I released her, and she disappeared with t
Asher pov The crying of the baby doubled every minute from the clock, and nurses were trying to muffle the crying baby but nothing was being accomplished despite whatever they did. I just remained standing, unmoving, with no idea what to say or do, with only the rigid face of the baby. The war had begun already, before the war ever began. "Alpha! Alpha!!" the doctor shouted, and I regained consciousness. "Ahh, what?" I bellowed, jerking my head away from the baby and toward the doctor. "Your baby, do you want to hold your son?" asked the doctor, extending his hand in which the baby lay. "A son? Is he a boy?" I insisted, my face contorting into shock. Sofia, who had been sweating behind me, spoke words as the other nurses gazed at her. "Congratulations, it's a boy, Alpha, and I think your heir is born," stated the doctor, who hadn't smiled in years. "Doctor, ah, one never knows what the future holds," I said as he placed the baby in my hands. I embraced the child, his thin bo
Asher povSofia, no matter who I was or wasn't, they are my family, and they require their father," I snarled in anger."Was your throne seat what you threatened that you would do this?" Sofia accused, accusation in her tone.Her hands were being held by nurses surrounding her, trying to console her. "Alpha Asher, I think that's enough," one of them interrupted. "Maybe it's time you went away. She is trying to convince you, let her."I was already furious, but I also knew I needed to overcome my anger. I took a deep breath and didn't let myself get angry."No, I'll be fine here," I replied, my voice firm but calm. "Sofia, I swear to you. Those twins are my own flesh and blood, and I will do whatever is within my power to protect them and their mother."Sofia's face red with rage, but she was too tired to fight again. The medical staff and nurses waiting behind her were inpatient, and one of them came forward."Alpha Asher, please," she pleaded. "Sofia needs to take care of herself and
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
