Aurora povI was ready to move on and start a new chapter in my life. Asher and his drama were behind me, and I was excited to see what the future held.With a sense of determination and renewal, I headed out the door and towards the airport, ready to restart my life.As the plane began its descent, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. I was finally going home, back to my own city, my own business, and my restart own life.As the plane touched down on the runway, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I had made it, I had escaped the drama and stress of Asher's world, and I was ready to start fresh.I collected my bags and made my way through the airport, feeling a sense of familiarity and comfort. I was home, and it felt amazing.As I stepped out of the airport, I was greeted by the warm sunshine and the bustling energy of the city. I took a deep breath, feeling the stress and tension of the past few days melt away.I made my way to my car, which was waiting for me in the p
Aurora pov The next morning, my happiness was short-lived by a call my PA received in front of me. "Good morning, am I on with Miss Aurora?" the voice from the other end of the phone said."Good morning. yes, you are," my PA replied with an expression showing that she had much on her mind. "She wouldn't be able to tell you because of her. muteness.""We, the board, held a meeting in our discussion of issues while Miss Aurora was away," he said, clearing his voice."What matters did the board discuss?" my PA asked, looking at me in confusion.I sat on my bed, staring at her as she stood in front of me, putting the phone on loudspeaker."The board has discussed what is best for her company," he said firmly on the phone. "However well we know she built her company from scratch, we are the board, and we want to continue the development."So, what are you driving at?" my PA asked as I nodded in agreement to her question, both of us getting curious."What I mean is that we want the company
Aurora pov There was a pause at the other end of thr phone, then he took a deep breath "I just received a call from one of the board members, saying they have a suitable opportunity for your company to develop higher than ever, so congratulations, you would be relocating to that city," he said, his voice joyous on the other end of the phone."Relocate...what does that mean?" I thought to myself, standing there in shock. I would be relocating to Asher's city?I felt like I had been punched in the gut again. Relocate? To Asher's city? No, no, no. This couldn't be happening.My PA looked at me with concern, seeing the shock and horror on my face. "Ma'am, I think we need to clarify what the alpha means by 'relocate'," she said, trying to stall for time.But the alpha continued, oblivious to my reaction. "Yes, the board member told me that it's a great opportunity for your company to expand and grow. You'll be working closely with Asher's company, and I'm sure you'll do great things toget
Aurora pov I felt a surge of gratitude towards ceo and Eclipse Enterprises. They were exactly the kind of partner I needed - strong, supportive, and willing to take a stand against Asher and his company.But my excitement was short-lived, as one of the board members countered, "I think if you would look at the gaining side, Asher's company has the upper hand, and I suggest we stick by it, to avoid regret in the future."There was silence all over the room, as all the board members looked at each other, nodding their heads in agreement.I was helpless at this point, not knowing what to do or present. But could Asher be responsible for all of this? Could he want to be closer to me?I wouldn't be able to live with myself, going back to that city after all my experiences in the past. It would be a nightmare, relocating back there.I stood face down in disappointment, as all the board members murmured at each other and began to leave the meeting one after the other.I went back, as I was
Aurora povAs I arrived at the city, I was greeted by a familiar face my driver, who had been arranged by the company. He smiled and welcomed me, and I felt a sense of relief wash over me.Maybe, just maybe, this trip wouldn't be so bad after all. Maybe I could actually focus on work and forget about Asher.But as we drove through the city, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. This was the city where I had met Asher, where I had fallen in love with him. This was the city where my heart had been broken.I shook my head, trying to clear the memories. I was here for business, I reminded myself. I would not let the past affect me.But as we arrived at the apartment,I was been given by Asher's company, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. What lay ahead? Would I be able to keep my distance from Asher? Only time would tell.As I stepped out of the car and onto the apartment's driveway, I felt a sense of nervousness wash over me. I took a deep breath and re
Aurora pov I shook my head, feeling a surge of fear.But Asher just laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You're not going anywhere, Aurora," he said. "You're going to stay right here, and we're going to work together. Whether you like it or not."I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized the true extent of Asher's power. He was determined to keep me in his life, no matter what it took. And I was trapped, with no way to escape.I tried to think of a way to escape, but my mind was a blank. Asher's words echoed in my head, "You're going to stay right here, and we're going to work together. Whether you like it or not."I felt a surge of adrenaline as I realized I had to act fast. I slowly backed away from Asher, trying not to make any sudden movements. But as I turned to make a run for the door, Asher was too quick. He grabbed my arm, spinning me back around to face him."You're not going anywhere, Aurora," he repeated, his eyes blazing with determination.I tried to struggle, but Ash
Aurora povThe phone on the table was a walkie-talkie for emergency purposes, to call my guards in case of any problems. I quickly went to grab the cell phone, giving Asher the opportunity to enter. I dialed the number, making the alarm of the apartment start sounding.While Asher, on the other hand, just stood there, didn't even panic, as he was just staring at my twin sons, still in shock.My personal guard rushed in, together with some of the apartment securities, while I took my notepad."What is it, ma?" my guard asked, looking confused as he stared at Asher, confused, together with the other securities who were also confused."Guards, do I look harmful to you?" Asher asked with a forceful smile.All the guards turned to me with confusion written on their faces."Isn't it my company that gave your madam this apartment?" Asher asked, still keeping his forceful smile. "So, what possible threat could I make to my own company property? Is this a false alarm?"Asher asked, still keepi
Aurora povShe was elegant and poised as always. She smiled when she saw me, but it didn't quite reach her eyes."Aurora, thank you for coming," she said, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time."I nodded, my eyes locked on hers, trying to read her expression. My guard stood beside me, his eyes scanning the surrounding area, ever vigilant.Hannah gestured to the bench beside her. "Please, sit down. I want to talk to you about Asher."I hesitated for a moment, but then sat down, my guard remaining standing."Asher can be...difficult," Hannah said, her voice measured. "But he's my son, and I love him. I want to protect him."I raised an eyebrow, wondering where this was going."I know Asher has been...obsessive about you," Hannah continued. "But I want you to know that it's not just about you. It's about his past, his family...his destiny."I felt a shiver run down my spine. What did Hannah mean by "destiny"? And what did it have to do with
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
