TANGLED TAILS AND HEARTS 60
“You seriously can’t continue to make me sleep on the couch. That’s not done, how about we do it like this? We take turns, you sleep in bed today, I will tomorrow.” Aurora says as they enter the elevator and press the ground floor button, she is already sick of staying in the living room till morning.“You are just complaining, I am sure that you aren’t feeling any sort of pain.” Maverick replies, hands buried in his pocket as he stares ahead.Of course there is no way she will feel sore since most of the nights, she sleeps on the bed anyway, and not once has she ever woke up while being carried to and away from the bed.Whether it is because she feels safe in the environment or she just always has to involuntarily let her guard down at night, he will never know.“Yes, I don’t feel pain but that doesn’t make it any less uncomfortable, let’s just take turns and be fair,”“I did not know that you play fair, you don’t seem to consider taking turns when you readily agreed to Vincent that

“Don’t play hard to get, play hard to forget,” Aurora mutters as she stands on the field staring up at the podium. “Unfortunately I failed both, I didn't play hard to get and apparently I am easy to forget too.”Aurora Wells stands at the side with a glass of champagne in her hand, her blank eyes fixed on Maverick Prill and Phoebe Brian who are standing beside each other on the stage and welcoming guests from the other packs.“What is Cliche? It is your everyday life, I am so tired of seeing this, they look so much like the perfect couple, the kind of ones the councils want, I am sure they are glad,” A familiar voice says sarcastically before the person stops beside her. “Do you want to get out of here? We can go to my dad's attic and discover some cool things.” Easton says beside her and Aurora shakes her head at her best friend, the best kind regards of friend she can ever get.Sometimes she wished that she was mated to this nice ass fine man instead.“No I can manage,” She says. “B

“What the hell are you talking about? She was just standing on her own when they approached her, why would you accuse her when everyone here clearly saw that?!” Easton is the one that yells at Maverick which breaks Aurora out of her staring spell.Maverick's eyes landed on her and Aurora wondered how on earth they became so cold over the space of three years. Those frozen blue eyes are the same ones that used to stare at her with warmth, they are the ones that used to assure her.“It doesn't matter that they were the ones that approached her first or looked for trouble. As the Luna of this pack, she should know how to dismiss them or get out of their sight so as not to ruin my gathering.The dignitaries present won't remember them but they will hold on to the fact that the Luna of this pack is an immature brat who don't know how to bite her tongue when she needs to,” Maverick replies, not raising his voice a bit but those words rings too loud in her ears.“I…I…_” She stutters but he c

Easton wraps his hand around Aurora's shoulder when the latter turns stiff, he glares at Maverick in anger. Even though he flaunts Phoebe to every guest, this is the first time he shows affection so brazenly.Aurora and Maverick's eyes meet briefly and she is sure that she sees a strange emotion in them but before she can figure it out, Easton drags her away and she lets him.Easton finally stops when they get to the car, Aurora opens the car and sits on the passenger seat, the other man starts the car and they drive off.“Why the hell did he even accept you as his mate if he doesn't love you? At this rate rejection will be better than all this, at least we can go to Connor or Sally to take care of you, this constant rejection sucks!” He stares angrily, Aurora knows that it is a rhetorical question but she answers anyway.“Because we had sex that day, the mate awakening ceremony, we had sex that night at the pack house,” Aurora says quietly but Easton hears anyway and he slams on brak

“You guys have finally decided to do it, especially you spineless, idiotic, selfish, asshole and jerk of an Alpha! First you turn your back on her for absolutely no reason and now you want to kill her?!Everyone knows that Aurora's wolf is the weakest in the pack, a broken bond will kill her!You decide to follow this headless leader and councils and do whatever shits they tell you to do? You turn to the embrace of her worst enemy even though she meant the best for you, wasn't she nice enough to all of you?She put all of you above herself and endured your one sided nonsensical sneers with absolutely no sense, she bit her tongue when you spat out shit and what?You aren't satisfied? You want to end her!” Easton yells, there's nothing to lose, he is all alone and an orphan, what more can go worse?“You…” the council leader and former Beta stands up in anger to rebuke this rude man who is running his mouth but stops when Aurora starts laughing hysterically, it is supposed to be tears bu

“Why the hell are you even prancing around in a matter like this? You are just the pack doctor!” Dan says.“I don’t know. Maybe because I would be the one who would treat the fallen warriors when we decide to attack the Night Pack.” She says with a raised brow.“Alpha. You have to understand this is not beneficial to us in any way. It would look like we are submitting to these people if we do this, we are the Moonlight Pack, we don’t submit_” Gary, the second leader of the pack council says to Maverick but was cut off.“So this is a matter of pride? We won’t have any when the valley is empty too.” Hilda, the assistant pack doctor chimes, which makes Gary glare at her. “There is nothing more, if you also talk about how they have an evil witch too, I would be so disappointed.”“You…” The man is speechless.“The Night Pack is the brutal rogue Pack that has been turning on other packs, within and outside their territory, they murder brutally and are fierce, they are senile rogues blessed

How many people does it take for an unwarranted headache to sizzle up in one’s head and prick one's nerves?That was the question that the women she was out in the woods with just a moment earlier had been asking each other. They all had different answers, the numbers varied a lot too but they had one united answer despite their differences.There is none for Aurora, no matter how many people it takes, no matter how irritating or intimidating they are, they can never shake the rock that is Aurora and she had agreed with just a smile on her lips.How wrong had they all been?Aurora never thought that she was going to see him again, they were going to cross paths but it is supposed to be later in life and even if they meet, she is not supposed to feel anything.But looking at his face, she is in a trance, a lump is stuck in her throat, a barricade of conflicting and contradictory emotions that she had never felt in the last five years hit her _ the emotions she thought she has under loc

Maverick does a mental nod in his head when Layla says that Aurora has been using a scent masking spell since she entered the room, it now makes sense when he realizes that must be the reason why he can't smell her when she walks into the room and only realizes that he still can't.Not until she whispers some things to herself and her sea-like scents hit him, the problem is that it hits all too well.Aurora smells like the scent of the breeze that hits you when you have been standing at the ocean while staring at a sea shell and he has always liked it.One doesn't get to see too much of the sea when one is a werewolf and has to be in the woods and forest and small town, so her scent was a fresh difference from the others in the town and calmed him.When those scent play with all the nerves of his sense organs and his wolf rumples at the prospect of finding a another mate, it is happy but the happiness dims and it whines when he sees that it is still the soul that hurt them and they br

“What? No,” he says with a small chuckle and turns to glance at Aurora who is sleeping peacefully on the bed through the glass, he turns to face the view again.“Of course, I won’t be able to come since fucking rival 1.0 is right there,” she says and Maverick can picture her doing an eye roll. “Why the hell did you call me?”“Because you will be the only one awake at this time,”“Of course, that shit ass beta of yours will be on fucking period and will subtract your head from you fucking neck if you wake him up.”“I am glad that you know that.”“How is the fucking situation?” she asks and he is silent for a bit, his eyes sweeping over the many small lights in the distance.“We have decide to be friends,”“Wait? What? You have decided to be friends?! You fucking talked about it?!” she yells which makes Maverick remove the phone from his ear to protect his eardrums. “You didn’t talk about it?! None of you fucking mentioned the freaking past and just decides to be damn friends?”“You kno

“Are you sure that there’s still no room in this damn hotel?” Aurora asks the bitchy receptionist who is now glaring at her.“I am going to say this for the last time ma’am, there is no room available for the rest of this month, we are booked fully.”“There won’t be anything if I offer to pay three times the amount.”“Would you like it if I kicked you out because someone offered to pay threefold, Ma’am? Even though I will do that to you without being offered so much.” she asks but mutters the last part and Aurora scoffs. The only reason the woman is not tearing her hair is because one of the executives is in the premises, and if a receptionist of an hotel who prides the opinion of the clients is found insulting one of the clients, shit will go down for the said employee, there must also be the press lurking around somewhere too.“Now get out of my sight ma’am. There’s nothing I can do and why the fuck are you even hell-bent on not sharing the room with that gorgeous man, I mean, I wi

“And whatever do you mean by ‘You are Maverick Prill and room 232 is yours?’ What about the second room? My room?” Aurora asks the peachy receptionist.“Exactly what you heard. Do you have some difficulty hearing stuff?” The woman replies sarcastically and Aurora almost scoffs.This is the problem with having a pack in a place crowded by humans, even when they need to show courtesy, they end up being super duper rude, Aurora can bet her life on it that if this woman is a werewolf and knows of her reputation, she will do well to talk to her with a lot of respect.“So you are trying to say that there's only one room reserved under our name?” Maverick asks with a raised brow, practically asking the same question as Aurora, the man seems to have a hard time believing it since he is the one that made a reservation for two rooms himself.“Yes handsome. It appears that way and even though I don't want your gorgeous self to spend the next two weeks in the same place as her,” she says to Maver

“I didn't know that Alpha Maverick had a private jet at his disposal,” Easton snickers sarcastically and Alec scoffs.“What do you think we are? Some barbarians that stay in a place?”“I don't think that you are too far from that,” Kael says.“Except for the fact that this pack is the richest pack in the whole southern area and top five in the whole world, you must be an imbecile to think that they commute on foot,” Layla pipes up and both Kael and Easton glares at her.“Which pack are you from exactly?” Easton asks and Layla shrugs.“Why don't you switch packs and declare yourself as a bonafide member of the Moonlight Pack instead of being a backstabber?” Kael asks but Layla only pokes her tongue out at him.“I would have done that but then that means that their beta will have to follow me, you can't function properly without your Beta and your beta can't function at all without me_”“Who fed you those delusions?” Kael asks.“Need I remind you of went down with your beta these past t

Aurora huffs in frustration as she looks all around for any trace of Stephanie but it seems like the woman just dropped off from the surface of the earth the moment she got out of the room, it wasn’t like she spent a long time in the room after she was gone.She wants to thank her for her help since it won’t be possible for them to find Layla and know what the root of her stunt is. If Layla came later, there’s a big chance that Zach won’t remember what he was doing on Thursday afternoon vividly.She is about to give up when she feels her presence towards the west, she begins to trail the feeling until she ends up at a big dinner that she is sure serves food more fancy than its name.She enters hesitantly and spots Stephanie sitting at a table talking to someone, she is about to walk towards her when she sees Anabella goes to her from the other door at the opposite end of where she is standing, it was only then that she notices that the woman sitting in front of Stephanie is her own mo

“Layla is one sneaky bitch, I must commend your friend for that,” Stephanie says with a nod and Aurora stares at her with a raised brow.“Does that mean that you can’t bring her back?” Sadie chimes in and Stephanie chuckles.“There are many things I don’t know which way around, but trust me darling, finding someone is not one of them. That’s my area of expertise.” Stephanie clarifies before she snaps her fingers and Layla appears into the room, practically out of nowhere, she is in the process of raising a spoon of Spaghetti into her mouth with a plate in her other hand.She doesn’t notice that her environment has changed and continues to eat but pauses when she notices that the décor of the room is different from the one that she was earlier, she raises her head when she hears laughter.“OMG! Don’t tell me that you were busy enjoying life while we are here trying to enjoy life?” Sadie asks in between laughter and Layla looks around and glares at them, her eyes lingering on Stephanie

“It would have been better if she stayed back home under the protective wings of their parents,” Sadie shrugs as they head to Moonlight Pack House.“How do you know about it?” Aurora asks, and she is sure that Phoebe is not the kind of person that will let that huge of a secret that also happens to be her weakness out in the open.“You know, Ellie?” Sadie asks and Aurora nods. Everyone knows the best gossip woman in the Moonlight Pack. “Her daughter happens to be friends with the best friend of the mate of the Beta of the Sinister Smile Pack.”“Sinister Smile Pack? Are they some kind of idiots trying to be villains? That sounds like some idiot named it.”“You named yours Lala land. Are you some kind of fairy godmothers trying to bring balance to the kids of the world? That sounds like the name of an amusement park.”“Touché.”“Sinister Pack, is the twin pack of Blood Moon Pack though, and it is ruled by the same Alpha.”“Why didn't they just combine the two packs if they have the same

“So? To what the hell do I owe you this visit, Ms. Brian?” Aurora asks, staring at Phoebe who is standing with her hips cocked to the side, arrogance emanating off her in waves but it is of no use at the moment, because Aurora definitely looks more smug and authoritative.She wore black fitted leather jacket with stud, it is unzipped so it shows her white tank top that had the word ‘Bitch Please’ written on it in red and in jaggy font, a gold necklace on her neck, her chunky belt holding the ripped denim jeans that hug her curves tightly with black knee-high boots.Her messy shoulder length hair is packed and slightly tousled, she stands with her feet apart, arms crossed and her chin is tilted up, her direct gaze daring Phoebe to speak out of turn.While Phoebe is standing in one of her favorite white tube tops, fitted black pleated mini skirt with ankle strap heels.Unlike Aurora who has the natural looks going on, she used bold eyeliners with red lipstick and hair flowing down her b
