“You seriously couldn’t continue to make me sleep on the couch. That wasn’t done. How about we do it like this? We take turns— you sleep in bed today, I will tomorrow,” Aurora said as they entered the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. She was already sick of staying in the living room until morning.“You were just complaining. I was sure you weren’t feeling any sort of pain,” Maverick replied, his hands buried in his pockets as he stared ahead.Of course, there was no way she would feel sore since most nights, she slept in the bed anyway, and not once had she ever woken up while being carried to and from the bed.Whether it was because she felt safe in the environment or because she just always had to involuntarily let her guard down at night, he would never know.“Yes, I didn’t feel pain, but that didn’t make it any less uncomfortable. Let’s just take turns and be fair,” she insisted.“I didn’t know you played fair. You didn’t seem to consider taking turns when you readily
Isn’t this a coincidence?” Aurora heard behind her, and she turned, staring at Ferix in disbelief.“No, it isn’t. I would like to report you for stalking at this stage,” Aurora replied, crossing her arms over her chest, and Ferix laughed. She wondered what was so funny.“Why would I stalk you? I had some things to do here, and there’s no way I’m supposed to find out where you go and who you see when I just met you four days ago.”“And do I have to remind you that from four days ago until now, there’s been no day that I don’t see you?”“Like I said, it’s just a coincidence,” he said, and Aurora squinted her eyes at him.“I don’t even know why I’m talking to you in the first place,” she said and turned to walk away, but he immediately followed her.“You still haven’t told me your name.”“Why should I?”“It’s only fair. I told you mine.”“Too bad. I don’t play fair, and I never asked for your name. Now fuck off,” she said and hastened her steps. He immediately rushed after her and grabbed
Aurora glanced back subtly without turning her head at all, it was more like a side glance to catch the shadow of the person trailing after her.She smirked when she saw that they were still following her. She had gone out for a jog since the room had become unbearably boring, Maverick was still buried in work the next day, hardly paying any attention to her— not that she needed his attention anyway.But now, two men were following her, trying to keep it subtle, but she noticed them immediately, and since she was up to nothing and in need of some activity, she turned into a quiet street, empty of people, with an alleyway just beyond.“Perfect,” she muttered to herself, continuing to walk. The men grew bolder, no longer bothering to hide that they were creepy stalkers.Aurora turned sharply when they least expected it, her mouth quirking up in a smirk as she stretched, straightening her hand, ready for a fight.“Now, gentlemen, don’t creep on ladies; if you wanted to ask me out, you cou
The car pulled to a halt in the parking lot of a very sparkly and shimmering building, with lightning flashing all over the place. Aurora stepped out of the car and raised her head to stare at the name of the bar.“Devil’s Light,” she read out loud and smacked her lips. “Very fitting, there’s no way these lights aren’t devilish.”Maverick stepped out from the other side of the car and walked to her side. They both stared at the building for a moment before they nodded and began to walk toward the guards at the door.Maverick showed them their card, and they allowed them entrance. Their eyes scanned the numerous humans enjoying themselves, dancing to the loud beats of the DJ, completely unaware of the supernatural club that occupied the floor right above theirs.“Ignorance is really bliss,” Maverick muttered, and Vincent arrived at their side just in time. Aurora didn’t miss the glare Maverick sent his way, but she ignored it. The man had said that he offended him.“This way,” Vincent s
"Since we are done here, allow us to take our leave. It was nice meeting you, Lycan King, I am Kate," the woman, dressed fashionably, said. Maverick nodded at her, standing up to shake her hand.Aurora nodded her head. The woman really did seem like a Kate."I never expected to meet you right here," Ferix said to Aurora as Maverick continued to greet the elders, who seemed to enjoy having the man's attention on them, even though the latter’s face remained blank, showing no warmth toward them at all."I could say the same about you. How on earth did you end up being the architect?""I’ve been one for a very long time. I was part of the team that designed the building in the Moonlight Pack two years ago.""It was built two years ago?" Aurora asked, furrowing her brows. Ferix nodded, and she realized she had thought it had always been there for the past five years. The fact that it had been built so recently made her feel uneasy."So you’re the Rogue Witch Leader, huh?" he asked with a sm
“And I am pleased to inform you that the elders approved her,” Ferix said to the council members, and all of them left the room.“No qualms, Alpha, but I hate your pack council,” Ferix had said to Vincent, who was walking by her side while Maverick and Aurora walked side by side in front of them.“You won’t love Maverick’s pack council either; it is like those people were made specifically to be douchebags,” Vincent replied as the elevator doors had closed.Maverick and Aurora remained silent. Neither of them speak while Vincent and Ferix go back and forth about matters of the pack and the building they wanted to construct.“Ferix and I have some other things to discuss. We’ll see you both at a later date. I think the contract signing process is already over now. We just wait a bit, and everything will be finalized. My beta will contact you, Maverick,” Vincent said, and Maverick nodded. “It was really nice meeting you. I meant it sincerely this time, not in the business way. It was re
Aurora knew that she was losing, and fast, but she was putting up a good fight too. She would be damned before she let these people take her away to do God knows what.“Bitch, you’re up to it again,” one of the vampires said, and Aurora raised her brow with a cocky smirk. But there were a lot of wounds in places she could point to, and others that she knew she would only discover later.This fight would have been fairer if she had a normal wolf healing ability, but since she was an omega and her wolf was absent, her healing rate was a lot slower than a regular wolf’s.“Of course, what else did you expect when you brought five of you, even though you expected me to be very out of it?” she said, and the werewolf scoffed.“You’re really made for that damn man. You two are ridiculously cocky,” he said, gesturing to Maverick, who was still leaning on the car, and Aurora shrugged.“Well, you guys don’t make it hard to be cocky,” Aurora said, using a speed spell, and before any of the witche
Aurora struggled to drag Maverick through the door and into the bedroom. Supporting his drunk weight, she grunted, “Why the hell are you so heavy? Is it normal for lycans, or is it just because you’re an asshole?”Of course, he didn’t reply. All he managed was incoherent gibberish that meant nothing to her.He had sobered up slightly and was muttering nonsense, but he was still far too intoxicated. There was no way the cocky Lycan King would have let her carry him all the way from the car, through the lobby, up the elevator, and into the room if he had been in his right mind.Aurora exhaled heavily as she threw Maverick onto the bed. She adjusted her clothes and stared at him tiredly. It seemed The Seekers had decided not to follow her. She hadn’t encountered them on her way home after Taylor and Cali came to her rescue.As she turned to leave, she paused, glancing back at him. He still had his shoes on, along with his coat and other layers that would make sleeping uncomfortable. She w
The hall was filled to the brim with grinning pack members who awaited the day’s event. It seemed to them that the satisfaction they have always wanted was making their ways to them.It was the Luna Coronation Ceremony.Aurora was finally going to be officially recognized as the Luna of the Moonlight Pack, while this made a lot of pack members happy, it also made them very busy, it wasn't like they could have their Luna-to-be preparing everything or anything.Sadie was the one that took charge of the event with Sally, both of them ordering workers around, trying to get things rounded up.Out of everyone who was going about, Sally could be said to be the happiest. After resigning to date about the death of their son, both the former Alpha and Sally had alienated themselves from the pack when they heard the demise of Maverick.According to them, seeing the pack reminded them of the wound that would never scar. It was right there and then that Aurora earned the respect of the former Alpha
“I am so sorry that she escaped, Aurora.” Mani apologized and Aurora just waved her off.“I told you that it is alright.” Aurora replied. “Besides, you were doing something else when she escaped, we would have been able to find her later but delay might have been very bad in the spell breaking. I really appreciate your help, Mani. Thank you so much.”Mani smiled back at Aurora and nodded. It was nice to see Aurora’s face having another emotion other than the blankness that she had mastered over the years, it was amazing yet shocking how a person could have an effect over another person.Aurora’s eyes have become brighter and she seemed to have found more meaning to life, she clung to Maverick who was sitting beside him and the smile had never left her eyes, it was truly a gratifying thing to watch.“We helped in that matter together,” Daphne said from where she stood. She had spent the night at their house while insisting that the rest of the witch council would be after her head afte
“Were you able to find Maverick?” Easton asked as soon as she was in front of the house, he was talking with Alec about Pack matters and since Ferix was helping him too, it seemed to be urgent.“HI Aurora,” Ferix greeted and she nodded.“We were able to find him and he knows who Phoebe is but he also didn’t want to have anything to do with me.”“Talk about some big misfortune, it is making me want to wring Phoebe’s head.” Ferix snorted.“Me too.” Easton added.“That makes three of us, but I have something to do now,” Aurora said and entered the house.“Isn’t Daphne here?” Aurora stared around the whole place and turned to Regina when she found no sight of the woman she was looking for.“I thought she followed you? Didn’t you go to look for Phoebe and Alpha together?” Regina asked and Aurora sighed. “She told me that you already picked the location or something around that line.”“I had no idea that she followed me but I doubt that she hadn’t run away,” Aurora murmured to herself befor
Maverick stared at Phoebe who had shifted back to human form in devastation and betrayal, he couldn’t even manage anger with the reeling that was going on in his head, though, there was no way to prove it everything that Aurora was saying was true about him was something that clashed and overturned everything that he had always believed in.He was supposed to be an hunter but here he discovered that he belonged to the species that he had been ordering and the woman who he had always thought was his best friend lied about everything to him and was his enemy, a woman who was very desperate and would do anything and everything to keep him by her side.“It is a lie Maverick! You are not a werewolf! Aren’t you supposed to feel your wolf if you were one since all these days? She is your ex, she betrayed you before and would do anything to separate us again,” Phoebe insisted.“Why should I lie about something like that if I have gone to someone that I liked? I wouldn’t be back here looking f
Phoebe stared at Maverick who was walking with slumped shoulder while also carrying Robb on his shoulder, she had suggested that they leave the place as soon as possible but he had refused and told her that Robb had always told him that if he ever died one day, he wanted to be buried at the back of his little place.Damn man was jeopardizing her plan even when he was dead after pushing Maverick to pursue Aurora when he was alive.“Maverick.” She called but he only continued walking ahead.“I don’t want to talk to anyone right now,” Maverick replied and she frowned in anger.It was bad enough that they had to make a stop at their place but now he was even ignoring her, it was draining the energy that would have made her excited that she drove a wedge between him and Aurora. The bitch didn’t even show up and she was sure that Mani would have told him about everything that happened.She stared ahead and a smirk appeared on her lips. Sure, the plan wasn’t working the way she was working b
Maverick searched around the forest with a bit of panic striking his nerve, there was something bad about the nerves that kept crawling up his nerve, it was like danger was just lurking around the corner. It didn’t help matters that neither Cara nor Robb were around, he hadn’t seen Robb since he said that he had to get something from the woods and he had absolutely no idea what was going on.“Maverick!” He heard Cara’s voice in the distance and immediately turned to the direction. “Maverick!”He could see her running towards him and he hurried over to her and that was when he noticed the panic that was on her face.“Cara, what is wrong?” He asked and she tried to regulate her breathing.She huffed for a bit before she started talking breathlessly. “Maverick! Robb is dead!”“What?!” He asked with widened eyes. He moved closer to her and smelled her body before his eyes almost narrowed into slits.“Fucking werewolves!” He growled. “Lead the way!”Cara nodded and the two of them broke in
Daphne hastened her step as soon as she was in a darker part of the alley, she had been having the feeling that someone had been following her as soon as she left the pub and her instinct continued to tell her not to stay and find out who the person was because it was dangerous.She ran and took another corner but she was stopped by something and before she could react, she was punched in the stomach and sent sprawling on the floor.She hated combat the most, she preferred when she wielded her magic so she tried to gather some energy from around her but she found out that she couldn’t do anything of the sort.“Escaping now, aren’t you?” She heard in front of her and saw Mani standing there with her hands folded across her chest.“What the hell do you think that you are doing?” Daphne scoffed. “Do you think that you are something simply because you crossed over to that bitch’s side? I could end her if I wanted.”“Well, you can tell her better than when we meet her,” Mani said plainly a
“What could have made you come to see me tonight?” Daphne asked with a smirk as soon as Phoebe sat down in front of her, they were at the town pub where they usually meet up, it was late at night and both of them were wearing something that covered their face in order not to be recognized.“What else other than the fact that Maverick is almost driving me crazy?” She groaned in annoyance and Daphne raised a brow at her.“Oh? He can make you angry? I thought that you were having the best time of your life?” Daphne asked and Phoebe glared at her but it couldn't be said for a fact whether she saw it because both of them were deep at the darkest corner, the flicker of dim red light reaching them once in a while.“I was, until Aurora appeared out of the blue and now they met and he wouldn’t keep his mouth shut about her for the briefest minute.”“I told you that separating two mated people isn’t going to be easy,” Daphne shrugged and Phoebe glared at her once again.“She was supposed to be
“You would believe who we saw today,” Ferix said and Aurora raised a brow at her.“Who?”“It was Phoebe and Daphne, caught red-handed with her memory because she was talking about you,” Regina replied.“She saw both of you?” Aurora asked Easton and Ferix who nodded.“Yeah. I took Regina along because why not? She wasn’t able to keep her cool when she saw all of us and it was visible in her face that she recognized all of us, she even said my name,” Easton replied. “We were just going to scout out the place of the council but we couldn’t find and decided to come home but we met yours truly on the way and she kept ranting about you being back to take her man.”“Is that bitch high on a big dose of delusions?” Sadie asked with disgust. She remembered the time she had treated and had mistakenly thought she was normal like everyone else, who knew that she was just bat shit crazy. “How is he her man when he is clearly Aurora’s mate?”“Then the big picture is getting clearer. Daphne is one of
