Aurora pov

My heart panted in my chest, praying it wasn't Lucien because I didn't know how I was going to explain how his so called mate tortured me.

He might not even believe me.

"My lady!"

My eyes snapped wide with relief when I heard Aria's voice.

I sighed in relief leaning back as my shoulders dropped low with relief.

I twisted the door knob and it opens revealing Aria who stared at me with a petrified look.

Right she wasn't aware of my tragedy.

"My lady are you..alright." She gasped with a hand over her mouth.

I pulled her before she attracted attention.

My presence in lucien's life was already enough trouble as it is.

"I'm fine." I exhaled turning my gaze away.

"I should go prepare the water. For your bathe." She said quickly, grabbing the hem of her dress rushing over to the wash room but i clammed my hand over wrist.

I appreciate her concern and the underlying care but the people in this pack where psychotic and it seemed Lucien was the only one sane.

    Aurora's povFor the love of the moon goddess, what did that woman want again?My chest rose with anxiety, and I exhaled, running my eyes over to where Aria stood."Did she tell you what she wants from me?" I asked, feeling incredibly anxious about what she was going to do this time."No," Aria answered, her head dropping a little lower than usual. "She didn't say anything, only that she needs you to come to her room."No doubt it was going to be something horrendous. She was a pretty face with a black soul.I started considering going to tell Lucien. At least he doesn’t exactly seem like he’s still mad or something.I bit the side of my lip, the uneasiness gnawing at my soul."Lead the way..." I said casually.With both hands by my sides, I strolled out of my room. I just got this new dress, and I will not take it from her if she tries to ruin it.On the other hand, she was the daughter of a prestigious family. What could I possibly do to her?The door to Nathalie's room creaked open

    Aurora povThe slapping of the water jolted me into reality, and I sprang up hurriedly, panting fast.The water hit against my nostrils, and a hoarse cough ripped from my throat as I shrank away from my nemesis.Nathelie crossed her arms against her chest while a maid stood there with a bucket. She was definitely the one who had dumped that water on me.Nathelie crouched down next to me, and I held my breath, fearing to even look at her, but her harsh grip pulled me toward her eyes."This should teach you a lesson not to ever mess with me, or I promise to make your life a living hell. It already is, but trust me, I'll add a little spark." She chuckled.The smirk on Nathelie’s face deepened as she straightened up, arms still crossed, watching me with cold, calculating eyes. Her presence was suffocating, and every time she stepped closer, I felt my heart slam harder against my chest. Why can't this woman just let me go? My body trembled uncontrollably, the fear crawling beneath my sk

    Aurora's POVMy heart pounded so hard I was sure they could hear it echoing through the hall.Voices drifted out, low at first but growing clearer. The footsteps inching closer to the outside followed.Then my ears perked up when I heard Lucien’s voice. He was talking to someone.My stomach twisted as panic surged through me. There was no way I could let him see me like this. I needed to hide, fast. How was I going to explain my torn and soaked clothes?Without thinking, my heart pounding fast, I ducked into the nearest corner, pressing my body against the wall as tightly as I could. My breath was shallow and barely audible."Please, don’t let them find me," I muttered to myself. I didn't want to get into trouble with Nathalie, especially after I had just found out how cruel, vicious, and obsessed she was with Lucien. She was even willing to kill me for it.I heard footsteps, growing louder, closer. My chest tightened, and I forced myself not to move, not to even breathe too loudly. M

    Lucien's POVI watched as Elvis, one of my men at the council seat, drove away, and I sighed.My hands were in my pockets as I turned back to the mansion. My eyes flickered over to the window with a heavy heart, and my face dropped. I didn’t know how much time I had left to keep the elders and my father at bay.I didn’t know how much time I had left to protect her. If I didn’t find the real culprit soon, I might not be able to stop them any longer from getting what they wanted.“Hey, what’s going through your mind?”Nathalie’s body pressed against mine as she hooked our hands together.My eyes darted over to the Union. Once, I wouldn’t have thought too much about it, but now everything just felt so wrong. I couldn’t help but feel like I was betraying Aurora, even though we weren’t together.“It’s nothing,” I said in a low tone as I slowly detached our linked arms.Her brows knotted, but I didn’t care. She could throw her usual tantrum. All I wanted was a way to figure out how to save

    Aurora's POVIt was another brand new day. A new day in this nightmare. A place I thought could be my home with my mate, but at this point, I didn't even know what to think, feel, or believe.I watched as the sun came up in the sky, peeking through the windows, and the air sent a wave of warmth over my cold skin. The air was meant to be refreshing, but all I could taste was the bitterness coursing through my body.The door creaked open, but I didn't bother to see who it was. It didn't matter to me at this point.My life was on the line.From the gentle and calculated steps, I knew it was Aria, my maid. She always had this aura of softness around her, and it was evident in the way she walked and spoke. She stood in front of my bed, with my back turned to her."My lady," she started.My eyes remained narrowed at the window as I stared out, clearly not ready for a conversation. Hell, I wasn’t even ready to step out of bed.I snuggled deeper into my spot, pulling the blankets over my body

I stood there, stunned, staring at her as she turned her back to me.A sharp wave of frustration hit me so hard that my head was starting to throb. Why couldn’t she just listen to me for once? Why did everything have to be a fight?She thinks I’m betraying her, handing her over to the council like a lamb to the slaughter. It was absurd.But she doesn’t understand. I’m trying to protect her.She pulled the blanket tighter around her, making it clear she wanted me gone.How did things spiral out of control like this? I asked myself.I clenched my fists, trying to suppress the rising anger."I’m not leaving, Aurora," I said, my voice steady but firm."Because first of all, you are in my house, and I won’t be dismissed like some servant. Do you even realize who you're talking to?"Her body stiffened, but she didn’t respond.I could see

    Aurora's POVTwo whole days and I hadn’t slept. All I did was stare at the ceiling, feeling utterly emotionless. Ever since I told Lucien to leave, he hadn’t come back. A part of me wished he had.I wished he’d come to comfort me, but my mate had another mate, one who seemed to have him wrapped around her finger.I hated her guts. The way she tortured me. The way she made me feel like I was worth nothing. How could Lucien not see her for the monster she truly was?I scoffed, shaking my head. He was obviously too in love with her to realize that.I stood up from the bed and moved over to the window, resting my arms on the sill as the cool breeze brushed against my face. It felt refreshing, almost freeing. Outside, the birds flew across the sky, their wings carrying them wherever they pleased.I envied them.They were free—soaring without a care in the world—while I was trapped here, surrounded by enemies, trapped in my own misery. I wished I could be like them.I wished to be free. B

    Nathalie gave me a long stare as she furrowed her brows. For a second, I almost thought what I said was rubbish. We both stared at each other.She wasn’t saying anything, and neither was I, but I could feel my heart racing faster with each passing second.“I said, what do you want, Nathalie?” I groaned, curling my hands into fists.Nathalie turned to the two cohorts who had followed her into the room.Both were female, and they looked slightly older than us, though I wasn’t really sure. The ever-present look of disdain was plastered on their faces.“Is she talking to me?” Nathalie burst into laughter, but I wasn’t finding the whole thing funny.I wanted her and her little minions out of my room.Nathalie's laughter echoed in my ears, her voice grating on my last nerve. I clenched my fists tighter, trying to maintain my composure. She was not here for a pleasant conversation, that much was clear when I saw that healer girl that made my wounds disappear in an instant. Nathelie was he

    Lucien entered the room quietly, the soft sound of Aurora’s muffled sobs piercing his heart. She sat curled up in the corner of the bed, her hands clutching a pillow tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. The sight of her like this made his chest tighten. He approached slowly, kneeling down beside her.“Aurora,” he said softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Why are you still crying?”She looked up at him, her red-rimmed eyes filled with guilt. “I just... I feel awful,” she admitted, her voice trembling. “I banished my sister, Lucien. My own flesh and blood. I didn’t want to do it, but I had no choice. I feel like I failed her.”Lucien sat down beside her, pulling her gently into his arms. “You didn’t fail anyone,” he said firmly, his tone soothing but resolute. “What you did wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Sometimes, the right choice feels like the hardest one to make.”Aurora leaned into his chest, letting his warmth and strength comfort her. “I just wish things wer

    Aurora walked out of the dungeon, the cold, damp air clinging to her like a second skin. Her steps were heavy, her emotions even heavier. As she stepped into the hallway, she was startled to see Lucien waiting for her. The moment their eyes met, his expression softened.“You didn’t need to come here,” Aurora said, her voice trembling as she quickly wiped at her damp cheeks. “I could handle it on my own.”Lucien straightened, his amber eyes filled with a quiet intensity. “I know,” he replied, his voice low and steady. “You’re the strongest person I know, Aurora. But even the strongest people need support at times.”The words pierced through the emotional wall she had tried to build around herself. Without a second thought, she closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around him, holding him tightly. His arms enveloped her, firm and reassuring.“I don’t know what to do,” Aurora whispered, her voice muffled against his chest.Lucien rested his chin on her head, his voice a

    Author’s POVThe cold air of the dungeon wrapped around Aurora as she descended the stone steps, her heels clicking against the hard surface. A guard followed close behind her, silent but watchful. When they reached her father’s cell, she turned to him and waved her hand dismissively.“You can leave now. I’ll handle this,” she said.The guard hesitated, his eyes scanning her for a moment. “Are you sure, Luna?”“I said I’ll handle it,” she replied firmly, not sparing him another glance.With a curt nod, the guard retreated up the stairs, his footsteps echoing faintly until the heavy door at the top creaked shut.She turned back to face the man sitting on the cold stone floor behind the iron bars. Mr. Luke, her foster father, looked up as she approached. His once-commanding demeanor was now replaced with weariness. He managed a faint smile.“You look well,” he said, his voice hoarse.Aurora remained silent, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She stood there, unmoving, her expressi

    Aurora’s POVI pushed open the heavy door to Lucien’s office, stepping inside with a teasing smile. He was seated at his desk, scribbling something onto a parchment. The sight of him so focused, his brow furrowed slightly, sent a warm feeling through me. I cleared my throat dramatically.“I heard I’ve been summoned by the almighty Alpha,” I said with a playful tone.Lucien looked up, a grin spreading across his face. “Indeed, Luna. You’ve been called for a matter of utmost importance.” He chuckled. “Please do sit.”I rolled my eyes and leaned against the doorframe. “Oh? And what could be so important that you needed to summon me?”I was genuinely curious to know why he sent for me at the house, he could have waited till he returned home tonight, or was he missing me a lot?Silly me! I have been emotional a lot these days and I have no idea why.He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “The dungeon guard informed me that your father—Luke—has requested to see you. Apparently, he

    Aurora pushed open the door to the packhouse and stepped inside. The scent of freshly cooked food wafted through the air, but it did little to calm her nerves. She didn’t make it more than a few steps before Lucien appeared from the hallway, his expression dark.“Where have you been?” Lucian demanded, his voice low but sharp. “I’ve been searching for you everywhere.” he sounded pissed and that made her wonder if something happened.Aurora stopped in her tracks, knowing she had to tread carefully. “I was following a lead on the recent threats we have received,” she admitted. “Something I thought might help us.”Lucien crossed the space between them quickly, his towering presence both comforting and intimidating. “A lead? And you didn’t think to tell me? Do you know how dangerous it is out there right now?”“I can handle myself, Lucien,” she said firmly, meeting his gaze. “I’m not some helpless damsel. I’m a Lycan.”He huffed, running a hand through his dark hair. “You’re also my mate,

    The weight of leadership was beginning to settle heavily on both Lucien and Aurora. Their days were filled with council meetings, decisions about the kingdom's future, and ensuring the pack's stability. Yet, an undercurrent of tension had started to ripple through the land.Lucien stood on the balcony of the castle, his sharp gaze fixed on the distant horizon. The murmurs of unrest in a neighboring pack had reached him earlier that morning, carried by a trusted scout.“Rogue wolves,” he muttered under his breath. The thought of enemies circling when his kingdom was still finding its footing made his jaw tighten. His wolf, Kol, stirred within him, growling softly in agreement.“You look like you’re preparing for battle,” Aurora’s voice came from behind him, soft but laced with determination.He turned to face her. She looked regal yet approachable in her simple gown, her Lycan features making her seem otherworldly under the golden light. “I might be,” he admitted. “There’s unrest brewi

    The air buzzed with anticipation as the pack gathered in the grand courtyard of the palace. Wolves from allied packs had also traveled far and wide to witness this historic moment—the crowning of Alpha Lucien and his Luna, Aurora.Lucien stood tall at the center of the platform, dressed in ceremonial black and gold robes that accentuated his commanding presence. His piercing eyes scanned the crowd, landing briefly on Aurora, who was approaching the platform with a grace that made his heart swell. She wore a flowing gown of deep emerald green, her head held high as the elders escorted her to his side.Elder Doran raised his staff, signaling for silence. The murmur of the crowd ceased instantly, and all eyes turned toward the Alpha and his mate."Today," Elder Doran began, his voice strong and reverberating through the air, "we witness the dawn of a new era. The leadership of this pack passes to a new Alpha King, a leader who has proven his strength, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to

    The great hall of the council chamber buzzed with tension as the elders assembled. The air was heavy with the weight of their decision, one that would shape the future of the pack. The King’s failing health had left them no choice but to convene, and the murmur of voices echoed off the stone walls as they deliberated.Elder Doran, the oldest and most respected among them, struck his staff against the ground to call for order. “Brothers and sisters, we gather today at a critical juncture. The King’s health has declined beyond recovery, and our pack cannot endure this uncertainty any longer.”The room fell silent. Each elder exchanged solemn glances, understanding the gravity of the moment.“We must act,” Elder Nalia said firmly. “The Alpha King has served us well, but his time has passed. The pack requires stability, strength, and leadership.”Elder Doran nodded. “It is clear that Lucien, as the rightful heir, must ascend to the throne. His leadership has been tested, and he has proven

    Author’s POVThe royal chambers were cloaked in an uneasy silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of fabric as maids moved quietly about their tasks. The once-mighty Alpha King lay on his grand, ornately carved bed, his once-proud features now gaunt and pale. The trial and the truth it had unearthed had taken a toll far beyond what anyone had anticipated. The air in the room was heavy with the mingling scents of herbal remedies and despair.The royal physicians gathered near the door, speaking in hushed tones. Their faces bore the same somber expression—a silent acknowledgment of the inevitable. One of them, an elderly man with graying hair and deep-set eyes, stepped forward to address the council members waiting outside the chamber.“The King’s condition is grave,” he began, his voice steady but laced with sadness. “His heart and spirit have been deeply wounded. The mental and emotional strain has weakened him beyond recovery. I’m afraid… there is little we can do.”The words
