AURORA RUSSETMy eyes fluttered open to the sound of the beeping monitors around me, my head felt woozy like cotton and my body felt heavy like lead.It was like I was stuck to the bed as I couldn't move any part of my body.Where was I?I tried to register my surroundings but a young woman walked in just then.She had on a uniform that I was sure I had seen several times before but couldn't place a name to at the moment, She exclaimed in surprise on seeing that I was awake.I tried to talk but my throat was dry and parched and I couldn't get the words to come out.The woman in her excited state ran out hurriedly before I could say anything.Glancing around, I saw that there was a thin long pipe with a needle at the end inserted in my inner elbow.The pipe connected to a bag with some kind of liquid placed on a stand. There were also various wires attached to different parts of my body.I slowly came to the realization that I was in a hospital.Soon, the woman from earlier walked in
AURORA RUSSETI woke up again in an unfamiliar room.The room was lavishly decorated with long, dark curtains that blocked off any source of light and I couldn't see if it was still bright outside.Where was I?There was no clock or anything I could use to tell the time and I had no idea how long I had been out.I tried getting up and sitting upright on the bed but I slumped back weakly.My whole body felt weak and I tried getting up again ."You should just stay lying down." A deep voice rang out and I looked towards where it had come from."You, Its you." I cried out.Seated languidly on a couch in the far end of the room was the man from earlier.The one that had barged into my hospital room, Alexander Blackthorn and who apparently had abducted me.I tried getting up again and the pain wracked through my body."Just lie down and don't move." He said again"You have no right to tell me what to do and besides, where am I?" I demanded angrily.He just laughed out loud, as if mocking m
AURORA’S POVI gripped the window sill tightly in fear, I didn't expect to be caught just when I was about making my way down."What are you doing?". He asked again."What does it look like?" I asked, my voice dripping with sarcasm despite my fear. Alexander was by the door and he looked extremely furious.His brows were scrunched tightly together and his lips were pursed into a thin line which I guessed was a sign to show how extremely angry he was."Don't you dare climb down." He roared angrily at me."Stay right there, don't come close to me or I'll jump." I said but he made no move to stop."I'm serious, I'll jump down if you come any closer. I mean it. Don't come any closer." I said in warning, my expression showing him I meant everything word I was saying."Don't you dare jump, I know you can't, you wouldn't dare." He repeated again."Try me and see if I won't dare jump." I answered, trying to put up a brave front despite my widly beating heart but it did nothing to deter him.
ALEXANDER’S POV A loud roar erupted from my throat as I watched her roll off the raven. Thoughts of how she could lose the baby engulfed my mind. My eyes became bloodshot. Anger surging through every part of me like fire being thrown into petrol, threatening to consume every inch of me.Without thinking further, my legs made their way down, breaking out in a race. I could feel my anger forging some kind of power inside of me. I felt stronger and powerful.With the speed of the light, I ran deeper into the dark hole. My eyes taking in every single detail in the place as I searched for her.Yet, there was no sign of her.That selfish woman really outdo herself this time.I knew I was so going to rip her head off if I ever found her.With my legs wide apart, I filtered out the noise and the sounds coming from wherever the animals were. I knew it was going to be only a matter of time before one of the wild animals found her and shredded her into pieces. I had to find her first.I closed
AURORA’S POV My head was throbbing so bad as though someone continuously hit an hammer on it. I still managed to force my eyes open. The vision slowly coming to life.The room was unfamiliar. The scent in the air was different from what I smelled at the hospital but somehow it felt oddly familiar. It felt like I knew this place or who it belonged to.“You are awake.” I heard an unfamiliar feminine voice say even though it took some seconds for the words to fully form in my head.“Where am I?” I asked, my voice sounding lower than a whisper.I felt weak and tired. It felt like something or someone had drained all form of lives from within me. Pain shot through all part of me.“Home.” She responded as simple as she could.My head tried to process what she meant by that because this place certainly didn’t look like my own. Neither that of my fiancé.I struggled to pull my lips apart as I attempted to say more but I paused on seeing her close up the distance between us. Her slender finge
ALEXANDER’S POV I heaved out another sigh of relief because I was so glad that nothing happened to her and the baby. Up until this minute, it still felt funny to me that she would try to kill herself just to get away from me.Was that how she despised me now?I brought my right hand up and ran my fingers through my hair.I was pissed, so angry. Angry at myself and not at her. I was pissed that I wasn’t there to protect her. I failed as her husband. I failed as a man.Letting out a groan, I clutched hard onto the table , digging my fingers into them and scratching them out even though it caused me pain. It made them ache so badly as blood found its way out but I didn’t stop. I continued till I could barely feel my fingers.They tried to kill her. Someone tried to murder my wife.I almost lose her. I almost lost them both. I….I groaned again, slamming my fist into the table.Grrrr!My phone rang out from my pocket, letting out a vibrating sound against my skin. Dipping my blood staine
AURORA’S POV I watched as the gate opened and let out a black car. It looked so tiny from where I stood but I could tell that it was him. My so called husband.This seemed like the best chance to run away. To escape before he would return.Although the whole plan wasn’t yet finalized. I had absolutely no idea of how to get pass the guards without alerting them or having them call him. A part of my brain advised me to make up something about wanting to get something outside or take a walk.But they seemed unreal and unbelievable.They weren’t that dumb.Heaving a sigh, I walked away from the window, taking my steps back to the bed while I bit on my right thumb. Thoughts of what to do running through my mind.I was running out of time with every second that ticked by. Finally, I made up my mind to sneak out of the house and try jumping over the back fence.There had to be one here, right?With that, I stood up, proceeding towards the door. However, it pushed open to reveal a middle age
ALEXANDER’S POV“Where is he?” I asked, the second Marco walked up to me.“He is tied up in the electrifying chair, Boss.” He responded causing me to nod and take more steps further till I came face to face with him.There was a bulb hanging above his head, shining its light on him. There was fear written all over him because his eyes darted over the room countless times causing him to release gasps that barely came out due to the cloth tied around his mouth.“Welcome Boss.” They greeted but I paid no attention to them.“Take it off.” I ordered no one in particular and watched Marco make his way forward to do so.Five of my boys had carried out the operation and were all standing here with me.I watched keenly as Marco’s fingers pulled the final strand out causing the fucker’s mouth to be free.“Who are you? Why am I here? What do you want with me? What did I…” His voice trailed off the second I pulled my hood off to reveal my face.I knew he must have heard of me or seen my picture s
JASMINE'S POV. It was such a good thing that I was able to see my mum. Now all that is left is for me to see my dad. I headed back towards the pack house. I got to the pack house after some minutes and I drove to the garage to park my car. I picked up my stuff from the car and went into the house. In getting to the living room and met Alan, Ethan and some other pack children. Hoe those two presence irritates me. One is my arch nemesis child and the other is someone who does not want to give me peace of mind, he is like a monitoring spirit. If it were left to me to make decisions in this pack, I would not have children loiter around like this. The noise they make alone is enough to cause me loose it not to talk of the way they destroy everything they come in contact with. Some of the children looked up at me to find out who had entered the house but me being me, I just shunned them. On my way to my room, I happened to meet a maid, she is one of the people who do not want Alexander an
JASMINE'S POV. I went back to my room with a victorious smile on my face as Alexander aided me in making Aurora my friend. I entered my room and jumped happily about since phase one of my plan was concluded and phase two was already in action. What do I do now, should I wait it out in the room or I should go and check out the situation of things. I thought for some minutes, I came up with no choice in mind. I decided to go and have my bath, thinking maybe if I relax for a bit, I would come up with an idea. I went into the bathroom, stripped myself and got under the shower. The feel of the water cascading down my back brought a refreshing feel for me. How I wish I can stay in this moment from now henceforth but someone is much more important than relishing in the moment. After staying under the shower for a short while, I got out of the shower, wrapped a towel around my head and another around my body. I stepped out of the bathroom and entered the room. I went to my vanity table an
ALEXANDER'S POV. The door opened and Aurora came in. I went over to meet her, I helped her to the sofa and sat beside her. She walked confidently as I led her to seat on the sofa. I was happy in my heart that she was mated to me. Come what may, I would cherish her.Aurora, you forgot all about your drugs today. If not because I care for you and I do not want you to go through the last episode of severe headache you had yesterday, I do not know how today's case would be like."I scolded her. Whe should prioritize her health now since I am counting on her, Ethan also depends on her as well as the sanity of the pack."It is not my fault that I forgot about my drugs. I mean now a days who likes drugs. So do not blame me for my forgetfulness." She said pouting and looking to the side.i went over to her side and squatted down in front of her. I held her face in place with the palm of my hands to steady my face so she can look at him. I pecked her on her forehead and cheeks."You know I can
ALEXANDER'S POV."Ok. I have forgiven you, but please next time any decision that involves the pack let me know about it. I don't want it to be that I am not involving myself in the affairs of the pack."I have heard you, any decision making process involving the pack I would make sure you are made aware of it." I heard a hmm and found out she was dozing off. I carried her to her room and laid her down on her bed as well as tuck her in. I don't know what must have prompted her to talk today but I am so grateful for it because it made me realize that sooner than later, Aurora would start acting as the Luna. I went to Ethan's cot and watched my son sleep. I was so happy that at long last I had a family to call my own. After about 15 minutes, I decided it was time for me to also sleep so I kissed Ethan on the forehead and went over to Aurora. I kissed her on her forehead and she stirred. I stayed still for a minute or two and waited for her to go back to sleep before leaving the room.
AURORA'S POV. I am confused as to the reason why Alex requested to see me in his office. I got to the door of his office and knocked. "Knock, knock." That was the sound of the knock on his door."Aurora, come on in." Alex responded to the knock. He came over to meet me at the door and helped me to the sofa in his office. After he helped me seat, he sat beside me. I looked around the office and my eyes settled on the medicine lying on the table. Oh, I can not believe I forgot my drugs. Well I am thankful he did not forget about it."Aurora, you forgot all about your drugs today. If not because I care for you and I do not want you to go through the last episode of severe headache you had yesterday, I do not know how today's case would be like." He scolded me. I felt like a child as he scolded me for not taking my drugs."It is not my fault that I forgot about my drugs. I mean now a days who likes drugs. So do not blame me for my forgetfulness." I said pouting and looking to the side.
ALEXANDER'S POV. Aurora asked what it was they were talking about and everyone of them just kept mute. She feigned being angry at them to get them to talk but they all just laughed at her, even me, I smiled. I mean she looked so cute with the expression of anger on face. I felt like taking her to my room and kissing her. Where is this thought coming from. I saw Agnes come close to Aurora teasing her. Ok I have had it , they are getting to attached to her. Even Aurora was very close to Damien and she related well with him but my own case is different. It is not like we do not relate well, I is just that I feel some kind of restraint between us. All of a sudden, everywhere went silent, what was going on. How can every where become so silent to the extent that if a pin drops we would hear it. I discovered that the rest of the crew was looking at something or perhaps at someone. Tracing their eyes, I found out they were looking behind me. I turned back to look as well as Aurora and lo
ALEXANDER'S POV.I got home in a jiffy after recieving the call from Kylie. On entering the parlor, I ran to Aurora's side. I caressed her cheeks, goddess she looks pale. What the hell happened. "What happened to her, why is she laying here like a lifeless person." I questioned everyone in the room.Nobody answered me. It seems they all want to get on my bad side right. Then I asked again, "Someone tell me what the hell happened here.""We don't know what happened alpha, we were in the kitchen when we heard Jasmine cry out for help and when we rushed her we met Luna on the floor and jasmine was hanging on the railing of the stairs." Kylie said. Oh so Jasmine was there when she fell. Let's me find out her own part of the story before taking any decision." Well Jasmine will you explain what the heck happened that Aurora is like this." I asked Jasmine while stroking Aurora's hair lovingly."Well, y..yo.....you see, the thing is that she was going up to her room and I wanted to go downs
ALEXANDER'S POV."I will take you home, you need to rest." I said and she nodded."Alex, what about the therapist?" Aurora asked with a face that potrays doubt and I frowned. Since they have refused to keep to time, I don't see any reason why I should be the one to wait for them. "They should be here by now, I don't know what is delaying them, I will call Damien when we get home, you don't need to worry about it, just rest." I said and she agreed with me. How I wish things would forever be this rosy.I supported her to stand, I noticed her legs trembled and she only managed to stand due to my help, I held her up by her waist and and she balanced Ethan on the carrier so he does not fall as we walk.When we got outside, we saw Jasmine pacing up and down. She was really a good actress, i actually could not find any flaws in her acting, so pretentious. I did not pay any attention to her and Aurora was so tired that she could not spare her a glance. I drove her home and when we got home,
AURORA'S POV.I woke up as the rays of light peeked in through my window and shined on my face. I stretched my body. How did I end up in my room and on my bed. I thought as every thing was still fuzzy to me right now. Oh I remember now, Alexander brought me back to my room after the confrontation in his office. I stood up and walked over to Ethan's cot and found out he was still sleeping soundly. Well this gives me time to get ready for the day. I went into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and had my shower. I came out the bathroom with a towel tied around me. A knock sounded on my door. "Yes, come in." I said to whoever was at the door.The door opened and Alexander came into the room. Immediately I noticed Alexander, I become conscious of the fact of the fact that I was only tying a towel. I ran to hide behind the curtain. Alexander just laughed at my childishness."What is so funny." I asked him from behind the curtain."It is you that is making me laugh." He said and I peeped my
