“He marked you,” Alec said simply, glancing at the mark on Aurora’s shoulder and she nodded, staring straight into the eyes of her mate’s best friend. She has decided to talk to him so that they can put their differences aside and get along in the near future. She has the brain to figure that both of them are part of Maverick’s life and would always be.

He was not going to choose one of them over the other and Aurora didn't want her to do that at all, she would love it even more if Maverick continued to have someone like Alec by his side.

“Yes, he did.” Aurora leaned on the rail and turned to look straight into his eyes. They were standing at the balcony that was at Moonlight Pack’s pack house, at Maverick’s place.

“You don’t seem to want to argue with me today,”

“And you don’t seem to want to discard my head from my body,”

“You are leaving Maverick again,” It was supposed to be a question but Alec managed to make it look like it was a statement—like it was a fact.

    “I have to admit that I love it more with your mark on you,” Layla said. “You look more radiant.”They had the pack’s general kitchen to themselves and were preparing a lot of cookies and cakes, because according to Layla, the true alliance between Moonlight Pack and Night Pack deserved to be celebrated.Stephanie also believed that it would be for the best if they switched the name of the pack to Moonlight Night Pack.“You aren’t actually going to stop this, are you?” Aurora groaned and Layla shook her head.“We were there when you cursed him out, we were there when you admitted your fault and praised him. It is only normal that we are there when you act all gooey.” Stephanie said, wriggling her brows in an over exaggerated manner.Aurora face palmed. “Can’t we just get past this?”“No. We can’t.

    Layla quickly held her before she could really hit her head on the floor.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” She asked her worriedly.“I… I…am fine, just a little bit weak.” Aurora tried to catch her breath. “I can feel a bit of essence fertilizer in her. It is the smallest amount that I have ever seen, but of course. That bit is enough to thoroughly harm a werewolf.”“Would she be alright?” Layla asked and Aurora shook her head in uncertainty.“I don’t know. I can’t tell. But for now, she is alright.” She answered and Phoebe turned to look at Phoebe worriedly. Without getting to the root of the matter, Phoebe is sure that there’s no way they can wash Aurora clean of the incident, especially after the bitch woke from death only to accuse her.Aurora glanced at Phoebe whose skin was already white and the color drained from her body, she looked no different from a dead woman. “I don’t know if I can do anything to her.”“But I can.” They heard and everyone turned to look at the person whose v

    Anabella furrowed her brows for a bit, trying to remember everything that happened that day and if she had met her father at one point. Everyone stared at her intensely, waiting for her to give her words.Jerry looked assured, he believed that his daughter would definitely pick his side, so he relaxed and tried to get himself on his feet when he felt that he had healed enough from the blow—and that it would be embarrassing to be on the floor for so long.“Yes!” Anabella said, and Aurora paused from where she was examining Phoebe and raised a brow at her.She asked. “Yes, what?”“I met my father today when I was returning to the kitchen with the cake,” she clarified and Jerry stared at his daughter as if she just betrayed him, in a sense, she just did.“Did he tell you or do anything?” Layla asked.“He…” she paused and thought about it for a while. By this time, Jerry was already glaring at his daughter, as if daring her to speak but the said daughter was not looking at her father.“He

    Crystabelle stood at the center of the room with a drawn gaze. Aurora wondered why on earth she looked so tired and out of it, but since she couldn’t ask, she could only resort to believing that it was the fiasco from earlier today.She only wished that it won’t get to that extent for her too, she would not like to lose all the ounce of sanity present in herself to something else.‘Don’t worry, sooner or later, I will take control of you,’ the voice in her head whispered to her.“No, you shut up. I am going to get rid of you,” Aurora said back in her mind.“So…” Stephanie trailed off and Crystabelle glared at her. It was her fault that she was here in the first place.“Are you going to do it?” Aurora asked and the glare was directed at her, she felt an odd shiver run up her spine but she stubbornly held her gaze.“It’s not like you gave me much of a choice to begin with,” she said in an equally tired voice.It was a lie, everyone was aware that no one had the ability to force Crystabe

    “Do you think that Jerry has something up his sleeve? Except the Great Five Sages? ” Maverick asked, staring at Aurora whose head was on his chest.It was late at night and they were in Maverick's bedroom after dealing with a lot of issues at the pack. Aurora was exceptionally drained after moving around and using her powers to make sure that Phoebe was at least alright.It wasn't like she wanted to save the damn bitch but things would get pretty rusty if Saxton's mate died in their pack and was killed by one of the pack members.An excuse for war would be solid.The Brian's family were already throwing a fit. Tessie's body was possessed and Phoebe was poisoned, paranoid Jennie was all over the place, convinced that she was up next.“I don't know.

One that was surely working for the witches,” Aurora replied.“How do you feel about

    “We had sex again and I don't know how it happened,” Aurora said, clutching the blanket around her trembling frame, it was her only thing keeping her from being naked as she felt. The words tasted bitter, like a heavy lid on her tongue, but she forced them out.Lightning flashed outside, illuminating her in the dim room. Her hair clung to her damp face, a wild mess, and her feet, bare against the cold floor, felt numb.“Wait... what?!” Easton’s voice cut through the silence, his wide eyes flicking to the thin nightgown peeking from beneath the blanket. His expression darkened.“That’s—”“Phoebe’s,” Aurora finished flatly. Her lips twisted into a bitter smile. “Of course it is.”Easton clenched his fists. “That bastard—”“Don’t.” Aurora cut him off, shaking her head. Her gaze dropped to the floor as she tried to blink back her tears. “I don’t need you defending me. Not from him. Not now.”Her voice cracked, but she swallowed the lump in her throat and kept speaking. “He threw it at me.

    Aurora flinched at the shrill voice behind her.“Move out of my way, bitch!” Tessie barked, her black eyes blazing with disdain. Her sneer curled into something colder as she added, “And keep your cursed bad luck out of my path.”Aurora turned slowly, her calm gaze meeting Tessie’s glare. Before she could respond, another voice chimed in.“Mom’s going to kill you for letting her stand so close, Tess,” Jennie sneered. “The pack’s still celebrating that a half-witch like her didn't end up being the Luna, thanks to Alpha's quick choice of our perfect sister.”“Shut it, Jennie!” Tessie snapped and turned back to Aurora. “Well? Are you deaf now? Get out of the way!”The tension around them thickened as curious eyes from the field began to drift their way. Aurora felt their glares, their whispers, the same hostility she’d endured her entire life.It was nothing new.Her voice was unnervingly calm as she replied. “There’s no need to yell. Being a werewolf doesn’t mean you have to act like an

    Remind me why we are still not out of this place," Easton said."Luna might be needed anytime. I have to be present," Aurora stated nonchalantly. Easton glared at her and immediately knew she wasn’t as okay as she pretended to be. Even after the spectacle on the field, she had taken a moment to herself but still insisted they return to the halls because of her duties.Duties for a position Maverick had just given to Phoebe in front of nearly everyone in the pack."That asshole," Easton muttered as they stood at the far end of the hall. There was no one around, and the dim light shrouded them in shadows. Hidden from plain view, they leaned against each other."He’s been like this ever since the mate awakening ceremony," Easton said, glaring at Maverick, who stood on stage giving a speech. A smile rested on Maverick’s lips as if he hadn’t just shattered someone’s world with his words and actions. "The petty bastard even used you not showing up as an excuse to reject you."Aurora’s mind d

    The taste of alcohol was potent on their lips but Aurora loved it even more, it made the kiss even more intoxicating. Maverick's hand slipped around her waist and she wound up her finger in his hair, clutching it in her hand in a dead grip as they explored each other's mouth.Maverick pulled Aurora closer to himself and Aurora pushed herself harder, it seemed as though she couldn't get closer enough to him. There was nothing she wanted more than that and she would continue invading his space till she was satisfied, but at the moment she couldn't feel any satisfaction.She wanted to be closer to him.Lips sucking, tongues rolling and body meshing against each other, Aurora wanted to remain in that position forever. But unfortunately, she needed to breathe, she had forgotten how to do it with his lips on her. So she disconnected their lips.But she still didn't get to breathe perfectly because Maverick attached his lips to her neck, sucking down on the collar bone in a slow tantalizing

    “So from what you said, you loved our other dates more,” he said and she snorted once again.“You mean the abnormal dates?” She asked and he glared at her which made her chuckle. “But yes, I do.”“I figured as much. You only complain unendingly about things that you love. So except for the world’s example of picture perfect date.” He said and she raised a brow at him in surprise.“Don’t tell me…”“Yeah. I have another date planned. A date that would fit that setting.”“Wow… you are really something Maverick.” Aurora said with a small laugh and he raised his hand with which she intertwined hers with.“So are we going outside this place?”“No, we aren’t.” He said and started leading her to the eastside of the yard. She had removed her heels and had forced him to get rid of his shoes too, so they could feel the sand seeping through the gap of their feet and it was a very soothing feeling.As they got closer, Aurora’s eyes widened in surprise, it kept getting wider as they advanced closer

    In a very dark eerie room that had little to no ray of sunshine, Alpha Saxton sat on the chair in front of his desk, working on something on his laptop when there was a knock on the door.He gave a hum and the door opened, Rees entered the room and sighed when he was standing in front of him.“Are you supposed to be chilling now?”“I definitely know that I am not supposed to be brooding.”“Maverick already knows the Alphas that joined hands against them,” Rees informed and Saxton nodded.“I know that it was only about time before he found out about them and fished them out, that's not necessarily a bad thing.”“You said so now but I don't think that those Alpha thinks that,”“Not my problem.”“Do you want to see them all?”“Why should I? They are not my problem at the moment. They should pay the price for being stupid,”“Understood.”“Did Maverick see to the matter himself?” He asked as he continued typing on his laptop.“No, Aurora was the one they met,”“No wonder they thought they
