“Goodness, that man made her snap; she had been on shell for the past few days,” Easton said nonchalantly, and Layla exhaled heavily.“Can't you guys do something about this? Like telling her to stop?” Sadie asked with wide eyes, her gaze flicking between Aurora and the rest of her pack. She had never seen Aurora so angry. Most of the time, she just snapped at the person and left their jaws hanging open with a very rude insult.“Unfortunately no. When she get mad, she get mad all through, and when she gets crazy, it goes out of the fucking handle. It is only up to the goddess of the witches if Jerry will live today, and from what I had heard, that woman isn't nice at all,” Layla had a mocking expression, clearly enjoying the situation.“To be honest, that man got on everyone’s nerves. I hoped that someone would put him in his freaking place. It is only fitting that it is Aurora who does it,” Floyd said with a small smirk.“But he still might end up dead,” Jared added calmly but didn’t
“I did too,” Layla said in a sad tone. Zach had a thoughtful expression on his face, and Kael nodded in agreement.“At home, Aurora wasn’t stuck with Maverick most of the time and had more chances to talk to me,” Kael thought.“Me too,” Kael added, and Aurora smiled sadly.“I talked to the treasurer at the Hilt Edge coven, and he said that we had enough to start the pack from scratch again. It would be enough for the meantime until we could handle everything else gradually,” Aurora said, and Kael’s eyes brightened.“But we aren’t going back until we catch those people who set the pack on fire. I’m not going to spare them,” Easton said angrily. Layla and Zach patted his back, while Aurora ruffled his hair.“We’re not sparing them either, Easton. We’ll all nail them down,” Kael said, and everyone nodded, a small smile on their lips at the thought of punishing those who wronged them and going back home.They heard noises from ahead, and it seemed like someone was walking toward them. They
They continued to stare at each other without moving, but a squawk from the bird behind them startled them both. They instinctively jumped back in opposite directions, only to bounce against the barrier Aurora had created. Once again, they found themselves colliding into each other’s arms, using the other for support.Quickly, they straightened up, neither of them looking at the other. Aurora shakily removed the barrier, and they both moved away from the bird, which remained rooted to the spot, staring at them. When it attempted to fly closer, they took another step back.The bird seemed to study them, unmoving for a moment, as though in disbelief. Then, with a sound that resembled a scoff, it dropped something on the ground. Aurora and Maverick both glanced down to see a piece of paper lying on the forest floor. The bird’s eyes shifted between them before it made the scoffing sound again and flew away without turning back or checking if they would pick up the paper.Aurora and Maveric
Maverick asked again, "You’re not going to see her, right?" Aurora raised a brow at him, questioning his persistence.“I’m just worried,” he admitted as they arrived at the front of Night Pack’s grounds after walking for a while.“No, I’m not going to see her. It might be a trap,” Aurora replied. Maverick opened his mouth to say something but closed it again.There was a limit to how much he could question her. Years ago, he might have pressed her further until his nagging feeling subsided. But time had changed, and so had they.“Can you keep this between us?” Aurora asked. “If Easton hears about it, he’ll definitely go after her. I don’t want him charging in with his temper and falling right into a trap.”Maverick thought about it for a moment before nodding. “Alright, I won’t tell anyone.”“They never learn their lessons, do they?” Aurora muttered, her attention shifting ahead. Maverick followed her gaze and saw Jennie and Tessie standing in front of Zach. The man appeared busy deali
There hadn’t been any sight of her in the morning. The guards had been on alert ever since they had spotted Crystalbell at the edge of the territory," Owen reported as soon as he entered the meeting room.“Is it true that Aurora is out of the territory?” Easton asked as he strode into the room, not bothering to close the door behind him.“Yes,” Zach replied, his eyes fixed on Easton as the latter moved to sit in a chair, his body tense with frustration.“What makes you so sure?” Easton demanded.“Crystalbell sent a letter to her yesterday while we were in the woods,” Maverick explained, his tone steady despite the concern evident in his expression. “She wanted Aurora to meet her outside the territory. Apparently, she has information about why she set the pack on fire.”Easton sprang up from his chair and began pacing.“Of course, she does. She’s the one who set it on fire,” Jared muttered bitterly.“And you knew about this?” Easton snapped, glaring at Maverick. “You were there when she
“You seemed surprised,” Layla said with a smirk.“I never knew about it, none of the pack members had said it and you never said it yourself,” Maverick replied.“Hi, I’m Layla, the assistant witch of the Night pack. I’m a human and witch hybrid,” Layla introduced herself, and Maverick nodded.“Should I just enter?” he asked, glancing at the portal, and Layla shook her head.“I’m trying to make it appear as close as possible to Aurora, so you don’t waste time looking for her,” she answered, and he paused in his actions.“Don’t worry about anything. I can feel Aurora and I know that she isn’t in any sort of danger.”“Then what was all the fuss about? You could have told Easton that when he was blowing up in the room,” Maverick replied emotionlessly, though the relief in his eyes was obvious. Layla felt that the man was just a huge muscular stone with no feelings whenever Aurora wasn’t around.“You know…” Layla trailed off, and Maverick raised his head to look at her. “When Zach and I fir
Maverick walked around, holding the tiny crystals that Layla had given him in his left hand. She had told him to use them to fight against witches in case they were the ones who had held Aurora captive.It was for his own protection before he got one from Aurora. Apparently, it was over Layla’s dead body that she would let him go fight a bunch of witches without something to protect him.He stopped when he was right in front of the pole that she was tied to. There was noise outside, and when he turned, he was able to make out the presence of some men on the other side of the shed.He listened attentively and was able to make out the presence of four men with his heightened sense of hearing. They were walking close or around the shed, but there must have been others around too, given that there was some talking in the far distance, probably toward the main entrance of wherever this place was.He turned to face Aurora and flinched when she suddenly peeled her eyes open. She stared at him
Aurora quickly removed the hand holding his shirt as soon as they were out of the portal.Neither of them said anything to each other; the kiss had made everything awkward all over again.Aurora couldn’t deny the jolting feeling that had run up her spine the moment his lips connected with hers, the feeling that had settled in her heart, and the relief that had swept over her. It was like getting a bit of water after being forced to thirst for a long period of time—it relieved her and also made her want more. She wanted more than just lips placed on another. She wanted to see the fully-fledged pleasure that had peaked at her in all its glory.She didn’t doubt that she would have deepened the kiss if she hadn’t been rendered motionless because of the way he had kept grinding his lips on hers to let the potion enter her mouth. Her lips had kept tingling since that moment, right up until now. Her blood boiled, and her hands trembled as she remembered the bliss that had settled over her.Sh
Aurora locked the door to the training house and dusted her hands. Her intention was to go back to the main house and rest her head since it was already night time, but she looked up and saw Maverick sitting on the front porch.The guest who had come to the manor uninvited had left after she forcefully kicked them out, they overstayed their welcome.She walked up to him before sitting beside him and stared up at the sky.“What did you do about her?” He asked.“I sent her back to the castle after striking a deal with her. She's better off there than here. If Mani stayed out later, The Mistress might suspect something.” she answered.“What if she doesn't keep her part of the deal?”“She has no option than to do what I asked of her, I already have her life in the palm of my hand.” She scoffed. “It is not like she is loyal to her boss anyways.” He didn't reply, he just nodded and turned back to stare ahead.“Are you not going to ask me about what deal we made?” She asked and he shook her
“Why must I make it potion when it is much easier to carry it around like little vitamin pills. No one would suspect that it is the powerful thing that could bring back people to their sense. That kind of thinking is better for my safety and convenience.” Aurora said, as she walked beside Easton.He had found her at the little den that was at the southern part of the Manor, she just failed to produce another solution.“It makes sense when you put it like that.” Easton nodded.“How’s Hilton?” Aurora asked. “I have never got the chance to meet him since I got out.”“Did you get along with him very well?”“He is a good man. I like how calm he is, he is a very good balance to the chaotic mess that I am.” Aurora wringed her fingers. “Even though, he had no idea that we used to chat.”Aurora narrowed her eyes when they got to the garden and saw Stephanie crouching down in front of a plan.“What the hell do you think that you are doing?” She asked harshly, and Stephanie floor ched before she
"Alpha," Sadie greeted as soon as he saw Maverick and the latter nodded his head at her. Easton was still observing Aurora while Alec was too busy glaring at Saxton who gave him the death glare back."I think werewolves have the stupid knack of coming to someone's home without invitation," Aurora said, and Sadie turned to look at her, but as soon as their eyes met she gasped in utmost surprise."We are sorry for barging in, I thought that Alec or Easton had informed Alpha about it but it turned out that they didn't," Stephanie spoke up and Aurora turned to look at her.Aurora glanced at her. "You are that witch from the other day who didn't know the difference between possession and gaining control.""What do you plan to do to her?" Crystabelle asked before Stephanie could speak up and they turned to look at her, she was grabbing the witch's jaw in her hand as she stared straight into her eyes."Nothing that is any of your business, you have an hour to talk to your Alpha and get out o
Aurora scoffed at Tessie and regarded her with disdain. “Reasons that I definitely won’t tell any of you, most especially you.”Maverick also found some sense in her words, it was precisely because Saxton didn’t try to kill Aurora that he had killed him. He just contented himself with watching the man like a hawk.“Now we have done the ritual today too.” Aurora said. “It is time to go back to the hell you came from. Stop absorbing the good nature energy of my Manor that is beneficial to your wolf.”“What stupid Manor?” Tessie humped. “This is barely a place where a weirdo decided to build a lot of five room duplexes all around a large piece of land. Planting plants on the place that was supposed to be other ways around the building.”Before anyone could blink, Aurora was in front of Tessie and her hands were on her throat almost suffocating her to madness as Tessie felt tingles all over her brain and water in her eye as her chest tightened and she struggled to breath.“Tell you someth
Maverick pulled Aurora closer to himself and made her rest her head on his chest as he ran his hand through her hair.“We met some rogues when we were on the way to the castle, they were all a product of the ministrations that the witches subjected them to. It was confirmed that they have vampires under their control too.”“I don’t know much about this thing but I am quite sure that those people were not originally rogues,” Aurora said, and he turned to look at her with furrowed brows.“You mean that they were normal werewolves that were kidnapped?”“Yeah, I am sure of that. Rogues were formed only when werewolves lose the connection they have with their pack and they turn rabid only after they lose the control they have over their mind.It would be easier to manipulate the werewolves, after all, losing the link they have with their pack unwillingly is the same thing as losing every single member of their family all at once. They fall into a state of depression immediately and they ar
“What did my wolf have to do with the fetus? Last I remembered, I don’t know magic,” Maverick raised a brow at Aurora and she rolled her eyes.“I didn’t say that you had to do any magic, the only thing needed is the presence of a powerful wolf in the vicinity of the fetus, that is enough for it to live on,” she explained.“But it is a witch,”“Or a wizard, but everything in the supernatural world has one or two advantages to one another, that’s the true order of this world. It is just a shame that most people here are too cocky and won’t seek help from others outside their species,” she dusted the table at one corner of the room they just entered and placed the jar on it. “It is just that I don’t care about that bullshit. I also need you in this place for other things too, your presence can never be too useful.”The aura surrounding the room changed slightly and both of them stood at attention, both their eyes and stance alert.“See? Some people couldn’t even wait for me to settle do
The Mistress turned and entered the castle, Mani immediately appeared behind her.“What are you going to do now? Aurora tricked you to spill our plans,” Mani said, but The Mistress only wringed her hand.“You saw?”“I was on the rooftop.”“Mn.”“Are you going to do anything about it? I am sure that she is not our partner, she is a hundred percent faking it.” Mani persisted, as she followed The Mistress to her office.“We still have an agreement, Aurora isn’t working with the Moonlight Pack at the moment, she must be up to something. Send some men to keep an eye on her.”“Already did, but I just got news that she went to Left Green Woods, you know that just any witch can’t enter the place.”The Mistress raised her head to look at Mani.“Then you should do it then.”“What?” Mani asked with wide eyes.“You can’t?” She asked which made the other woman bow.“Of course, I would keep my eyes on her.”“Better.” The Mistress said. “Aurora is mild at the moment, my main subject of curiosity is
“You came,” Maverick said emotionlessly, and Aurora smiled. “How long were you active in her head?”“Won’t you like to know that?” She replied. “Don’t blame me though, it is not my fault that she thought that she is capable enough to handle it alone.”“When are you leaving?” He asked and she laughed.“Who told you that I am leaving anytime?” she replied.“What the hell is going on, Maverick?” Alec asked in confusion, even Floyd who was usually well informed was lost.“I would explain to you later, but the simple explanation is that she has been possessed,” Stephanie said, and Aurora stared at her with narrowed eyes before she scoffed.“And who the fuck are you?” she asked in an intense amount of hostility that made Stephanie flinched, not used to Aurora talking to her this way.“Possessed?” Floyd asked.“How can you say that I possessed the body when we have both been sharing it since birth? Too under-informed and over confident to the booth.” Aurora said, eyes flickered to Stephenie
“What? How?” Layla asked in disbelief and Aurora smirked, she stretched her shoulders and exhaled loudly.“Coming out felt good, the weak bitch had been taking control for a long time,” she said to herself.“What?”“You must be wondering who I am, scratch that, you might even know who I am but I would overlook that and give you some explanations since you are her good friend.” She said, and shot Layla a smile– one that didn't quite reach her eyes.“In ordinary theory, the concept is simple.” She started her explanation. “It is similar to a person being possessed, they have the same face, they can answer to the same but they have a different attitude to the former owner of the body.In Aurora's case, her father was the a powerful wizard who had a lot things at his disposal and had offended a lot of people by not being greedy like them and giving them the power they need to overpower and trample of other people, he was too powerful to be cursed, so the repercussions were passed on his o
