“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
“Did you have something against my pack members or something?” Maverick asked, clearly noticing the way Aurora placed emphasis on every word she used to describe his pack.Aurora scoffed in disbelief and let out a sarcastic chuckle. She rolled her eyes in irritation mixed with annoyance and took a step back from him.“Did I have something against them?” Aurora asked, and another scoff fell from her lips involuntarily. “Do you even need to ask before you know that?”“You still held a grudge.” It wasn’t a question but a statement, one that happened to be a fact.“I didn’t have anything against the new generation, the kids in your pack and the teenagers, but don’t you think I should hold a huge grudge against everyone else?” She asked, but he didn’t reply.“You seemed to forget that my mom, my stepdad, my stepsister, those pack council members, those old men and women with their cold stares—every single member of your pack,” she answered with indifference. “Didn’t I deserve to have someth
Both of them were angry, neither giving the other the time or opportunity to complete a sentence. Both had so much to say and so little space, and it didn’t help that they both became hotheaded and hot-tempered whenever they had even a brief discussion about their past.“Of course, I didn’t have time to point out the steps you took to make all that possible. As I said, it was none of my damn business, but I must say that you enjoyed the trampling and mockery so much that you were repeating the process all over again with Anabella,” Aurora said.“What? Is that how low you think of your sister?” he muttered.“Can you take the imagination of how low I think of her, lower, a lot lower, even lower? Then you’ll be there. I thought the least of her. What are you going to do about it?” she asked, her lips pulling into a mocking smirk. “And stop calling her my sister. She’s associated with you intimately, and that’s not something a loyal sister would do.”“We weren’t intimate. You should give h
They both entered the house, and Aurora facepalmed when she realized that the smallness wasn't some sort of illusion meant to hide its hugeness or beauty; it was actually even smaller inside.“How the hell can you build a house with a single room, a bathroom, and a kitchen, then end it there and call it a day?” Aurora asked, and the woman shrugged.“This house was supposed to be a mansion, but I got tired after building a room and decided to leave it at that. Besides, it’s only me, myself, and I inside this place. It’s enough. Don’t you think it’s classy?” she asked, and Aurora shook her head.“Classy, my foot,” Maverick muttered, and the woman turned to glare at him. He ignored her and looked around the room. “What are we supposed to do in this place now? You must have brought us here for a reason, right?”“Right on the head, Alpha. I brought you here so you can do something important for me,” she chirped, and Aurora groaned.“Fuck my life, I knew there would be some sort of catch,” A
“Damn!” The woman on the bed said, sitting up. “Was it supposed to take her this long to sleep? She must have had a lot going on in her mind.” She adjusted her sitting position. “But then it would be super strange if she didn't, considering all the things you’d done to her in the past few months.”“You weren’t really going to let me sleep, were you?” Maverick asked quietly, still lying down with his eyes closed. The woman on the bed hummed, and he opened his eyes. The sight of Aurora’s face, very close to his, was what he saw.“Sorry, I didn’t remember to tell you that your dearest’s face is right in front of you. Don’t worry. You can say whatever you want to; she won’t wake up,” the woman said before she started muttering some spells under her breath.Her features gradually began to change, from those of an old woman to those of a young woman in her early twenties, as well as her body.“You really got good with your body transformation spell. I almost didn’t know it was you. The fact
Aurora continued to stare at the older woman as she led them through the forest. While the older woman was supposed to be leading, Aurora wasn’t about to let her act like some kind of leader, so she walked right beside her, matching every step, while Maverick walked behind them."If there’s something wrong, you might want to say it now, before you're back at your pack," the woman said, and Aurora cleared her throat."How well did you know Dante?" she asked, and Stephanie scoffed, but Aurora continues "Rude, aren’t we? You don’t want to know how I know your father, but you’re asking how well I knew him?" Stephanie said, raising an eyebrow. Aurora nodded."Yeah, I don’t care how you know him, it’s none of my business. But how much you know about him matters. That way, I can ask the right questions and confirm my theories.""If this has something to do with asking questions, you can just go ask your mother and stepfather. They know quite a lot," Stephanie shrugged."And you think I would
Ferix had run into the man he had come to this side of the city for, and the man had delayed him with talks that Ferix had paid absolutely no attention to. He just wanted to get away.Telling Aurora how he felt hadn’t been a good idea, and he was aware of that, but he couldn’t help it.At that moment, with her eyes lightened up and the laugh he knew he had caused, he had just blurted it out. Nothing good was going to come from it, because even though they were not particularly lovers, it didn’t excuse the fact that they were still mates.“The look on your face tells me that you’ve done something stupid,” he heard and raised his head to see Carly standing off to the side, almost blending with the shadows.“I haven’t done anything stupid!” he snapped at her, and she scoffed.“You’ve definitely done something stupid, so tell me what it was that you did.”“I didn’t do anything. So what the fuck are you doing here?” Ferix asked, walking to where he had parked his car, and Carly tailed afte
“Then I would contact you later,” Maverick said into the phone before he disconnected the call.“Maverick?!” Someone called his name with a loud shrill, and he was forced to turn in the direction of the person who was screaming so loudly in the hospital.“OMG! It’s really you!” she exclaimed as she moved toward him. Maverick was surprised to see the receptionist from the hotel at Eastwood Pack in his pack, but he hid his surprise quite well.“Hi, Carly,” Maverick said, and her eyes brightened when she discovered that the man recognized her.“It’s so nice to see you again!” she exclaimed, and Maverick was almost forced to tell her to calm down, but he held it down.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“I’m here to visit my cousin and have been here for quite some time, but I didn’t have any hope of seeing you since you’re the Alpha and all, but here you are! In the fucking plain sight!” she continued in her shrill voice, already wrapping her arms around Maverick’s and pushing herself c
“I can take care of it here,” Aurora said, but Maverick didn’t pay any attention to her as he continued walking towards the car, her hand in his as he dragged her along.“Seriously, it’s nothing huge, just a bit of cotton, bandages, and a couple of pain relief pills would help,” Aurora insisted, but he just opened the car and sat her down.“You have to recognize the fact that I’m a werewolf too, I have healing abilities too!” she exclaimed.“Healing abilities that are very slow, you forget that part,” Maverick finally replied as he sat behind the wheel. “Just look at yourself in the mirror. Only heaven knows how many bones you’ve broken, your face is all bruised up, and I’m sure your arm is aching from the amount of shooting you’ve done today.”“It’s not as bad as it looks,”“I believe the decision is up to me,” he said. “Now, you’ll sit still like a good girl and let me drive you to the hospital so that Sadie can check you up. I don’t want to hear what you think.”Aurora glared at hi
“You weren’t nice,” Aurora commented, and the woman smirked.“I thought I told you, you were the one who wasn’t taking me seriously,” she replied nonchalantly, taking pride in Aurora’s busted lips.“Then, pardon me for being rude too,” Aurora replied as the woman moved towards her. This time, both of them were merciless. They hit each other fast and hard, barely giving the other a chance to recover before delivering the next blow, but Aurora seemed to be on the winning side, while the other woman was getting tired.Aurora delivered a blow to her jaw, adding another bruise to her already bruised face. She grabbed the woman, who was still sputtering, and flipped her over her shoulder, throwing her on the floor hard. The sound of bones breaking made some of the werewolves on the field cringe. They watched as Aurora cleaned the blood on her lips and face with the back of her hands before groaning when she remembered that she must have dirtied it more because her knuckles were all bruised
Aurora stared at the numerous werewolves scattered across the part of the field that had been designated as the training ground. Many of them were warming up, while others chatted amongst themselves. The Night Pack members stood apart from the members of the Moonlight Pack, none of them willing to familiarize themselves with the others just yet.The Night Pack wouldn’t make the first move, especially since the members of the other pack didn’t show the standard amount of respect for their leader. While they didn’t openly disrespect Aurora, they also didn’t hold her in high regard. Many of them believed that without her spells, she wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Her reliance on magic was something the men, whose pride lay in their strength, found hard to respect.“Good morning,” Maverick’s voice rang out across the field, commanding immediate attention. Even Aurora turned to glance at him.His tone was nothing like the one he used when speaking to her. This voice was authoritativ
Aurora walked into the playroom after searching the entire mansion for her assistant and almost groaned when she saw Layla and Zach making out intensely on the couch. They were so lost in each other that neither of them noticed her presence. Tilting her head to the side, she observed them for a moment, shook her head, and then loudly cleared her throat.They finally broke apart. Zach tried to move away from his mate to face Aurora properly, but Layla pinned him down with her body, glaring at Aurora.“Can’t you just go on your way without interrupting us?” Layla snapped.“Can’t you just find somewhere else to do your dirty deeds? Thank god there are no kids here. They’d be blinded by your antics,” Aurora said, sitting on the couch opposite them. Layla’s scowl deepened.“What do you want?” Layla asked begrudgingly. Aurora scoffed at her grumpiness before reaching for the box she had brought. She placed it on the table, opened it, and watched as Layla leaned forward to examine its conten
Aurora halted when she saw Phoebe sitting in front of her, hands draped on her waist. The woman wore a spaghetti strap top and a tight skirt that accentuated her figure.“I have absolutely no idea what the hell you are on about,” Aurora said casually. She was at a restaurant, trying to tail Jerry’s movements. Anabella had informed them during the meeting that a mail had arrived for Jerry two days ago. She had checked it and found only a cryptic note:It will get delivered at Jay Restaurant and Pub at three o’clock, eastside.Aurora had arrived just in time to witness a man—likely a spy from one of the many packs—drop a small container into the trash bin. She retrieved it and discovered shiny, vibrant red rubies inside. Pocketing them, she quickly used her power to create a replica before returning to her table to eat.“Maverick and you are back together, aren’t you? You went on a date,” Phoebe said, interrupting Aurora’s thoughts.Aurora snickered. “So that’s what you’re talking about
Ferix sighed as he placed the glass cup on the counter once again. He pushed the bottle toward the bartender, who refilled it with one of the strong cocktails Ferix had absentmindedly picked when he arrived at the bar.His head was clearly not in the right place, and the lively bar continued on without him as if he weren’t even there. His mind wandered far away, no matter how much he tried to steer his thoughts elsewhere. He always ended up back to the same thing: Aurora. Specifically, the image of Maverick and Aurora sharing a quiet moment on the balcony and the kiss they’d shared in the car later that night.He’d been waiting for Aurora at the pack house, ready to leave when she didn’t show. But just as he was about to head home, the sight of them in the car caught him off guard. They were so lost in each other that neither of them noticed him standing there.He had asked himself countless times why he still liked Aurora despite knowing she had a mate. Back when they weren’t on good
“Why does it always have to be that man ruining our date at the park?” Aurora grumbled, her tone sharp as she crossed her arms. Maverick kept his focus on the road, his hands steady on the steering wheel.“At least now we know why he’s there now and possibly why he was there back then,” Maverick replied, his voice calm but thoughtful.“He came to meet with a member of the Blood Moon Pack eight years ago too?” Aurora asked, raising an eyebrow.“I can’t be certain it was the Blood Moon Pack back then, but I’m sure this park has been his meeting spot for a while. It’s lively, there’s often a crowd. A man his age walking into a trampoline park might seem odd, but not strange enough to attract real attention,” Maverick explained. Aurora nodded in agreement, her mind piecing things together.“That makes a lot of sense,” she admitted, placing a thoughtful hand under her chin.“You don’t seem that concerned about him being alive,” Maverick observed, glancing at her briefly.“I’m not,” she rep
