CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR.Carter's POV. Our father looked at us suspiciously as he made his way inside the kitchen. "Good morning, father.” Declan greeted with a welcoming smile on his face which didn't really meet his eyes. "I asked a question.” He asked instead, ignoring Declan's greetings. I raked a hand through my hair in frustration. He was not going to drop the question unless I gave him an answer. Of all times, why did he have to show up just now? And what was he doing In the kitchen in the first place?"Ah, it's really nothing, father. We were just talking about a new movie Declan and I watched last night. It was beautiful, yet horrible, giving the amount of torture casted upon the female lead".I said in one go, faking a pleasing smile on my face. Well, I didn't watched any movie last night however, I guess someone did watched the movie and I believed that, it was not good on their side, giving the amount of torture they must have received, just watching it.I almost gave
CHAPTER THIRTY SIX. Aurora's POV. Thank goodness, last night finally came to an end. I couldn't just handle it.How could Carter do such a thing to me? If he wanted to have sex, why didn't he take his girlfriend to some other place?That was humiliating and degrading. Given the fact that, he made me stay and watch them have sex. I was literally on the edge of breaking down. I felt so hurt inside. I didn't know this was how bad it was going to be. How dark was his heart?I don't even know what to do anymore. Is my staying here really worth it? I feel lost at this moment. Is this how the mate thing works? Alpha Logan had pleaded with me the other day to take care of his son in the name of only the true love of one's mate who could bring them around. The question is, do I even like him? Not to talk of love. I didn't have any feelings for him. However, I was here trying my best to see if this was going to work. Rather, what he does is to make everything difficult for me.He makes me
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX. Aurora's POV.I turned around to look at him, but he was busy adjusting his clothes in the closet. "Were you talking to me?" I folded my hands across my chest as I waited for him to answer me. I watched him pause at what he was doing. He slowly spun around to face me, his face looking murderous as usual. You could never tell what is going on in that head of his."How can I talk to someone else, when it's just the two of us in this room?" He waved his hand, between the two of us and then continued. "Or are you just so stupid not to realize it?"A simple question I asked which required just a yes or no and now he was given me a paragraph as an answer. He was surely going to get over whatever thing that was eating him up."I was referring to you. Make sure to get something good to wear tomorrow. A white dress to be precise"He turned and continued with what he was doing in the closet.He was referring to me. I should make sure to get something good to wear tomorr
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVENAurora's POV. I was currently standing in front of the mirror, examining the white dress on my body which Carter had got for me. It was a short gone, reaching just above my knees. The right side of the gown was sleeveless while the left hand side was a long sleeved reaching right at my wrist. Diamond Pearl's adorned the chest line of the gown. He had handed me a white v necklace and a pair of earrings to match it.After he had warned me not to let anyone know about the kiss which I had said yes, he left the room and when out and spent almost all day, just returned with a blue nylon in his hand and threw the stuff down on me on the sofa where I was sitting, ordering me to change, which I was currently doing. He had taken his own clothes outside. Probably going to change in Declan's room or something. I let my long hair cascade down my back, to at least cover my exposed back. I wonder just what he was thinking , in getting me such a dress. It felt slutty on me an
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHTAurora's POV. The ride to wherever we were going was utterly silent. He had made me shot up and not to struggle with anymore, when he tried to strangle me. My neck was still hurting till this moment. I kept sending my hand each minute to my neck, to rub it because it fucking hurts.He was focused on his phone, busy chatting and laughing with...I think with Chloe, because that's the person that can make him laugh like that. His one hand was on the staring, while the other was on his phone. He rarely looks at the road. Even Though, not too many vehicles were seen on the road. Kind of deserted somehow."Could you please focus on the road?" I managed to say as my hand went around my neck for the hundredth time since the ride.If he wanted to kill me, he shouldn’t do it by road accident. I hated them.He didn't reply to me, but rather focused his attention on his phone. I rested my head behind my chair and let him do whatever he wanted to do.However, I couldn't con
CHAPTER THIRTY NINEAurora's POV. I didn't know how much I had spent on the floor or wherever I was until a soft gust of wind hit my body and a hand tapped my shoulder.I struggled to open my eyes, but the pain I felt around my eyes made me close them and I instead tried to use my hands to lift my weight up the floor. I placed my fingers firmly on the floor in order to support me, still, the pain shot through my hands and I threw myself back on to the floor. My body hurt. It was as if I was severely beaten with heavy logs of wood. My nasal tract was hurting as a result of the wine that was thrown on my face , some which ran down my nostrils.'Mia'. I called out , trying to ask for help. Why didn't she help me, when Carter and his party organizers, subjected me to this kind of humiliation and torture? Why didn't she come forted and fight for us?.'Why didn't she help me? Why didn't she help us fight?' My eyes burnt with tears while I tried to talk to her, but she was not saying a
FORTY ONE Carter's POV. "You two had better shut up and leave my presence this minute.” I yelled as I got myself up from Chloe. I know that was not Aurora's voice. It was her wolf. They must have been pushed to the edge which is exactly what I wanted. I wanted them to leave me alone. Why couldn't they understand? Was this a must do?I had expected them to react at the sound of my voice or maybe leave, but they did not. Aurora stood next to the sofa with her hands balled in a fist. I could see her teeth gritting together. I needed to make this stop. I couldn't let this take another turn. My father could probably wake up at the noise.And from the look of things, Aurora and her wolf were not ready to back down.'You have to leave now. My father might get the noise and come over and trust me, this wouldn't be good if he does'I mind linked Chloe who in turn widened her eyes at me. 'Are you just going to throw me out like that?' She glared at me with her lips pressed together.
CHAPTER FORTY TWO Aurora's POV. It's been two weeks since the incident between Carter and I. He had left that night and came back all bruised up. I don't know where he usually went at night and came back the next morning with cuts all over his body.I tried helping out, but he kept pushing me away. I was hurt by what had happened. No matter how much he hated me, that was not enough reason for him to treat me like my life didn't matter at all.However, I decided to let all that go down the drain. I didn't want to dwell on that anymore. I just wanted him to see me differently and probably have a change of mind. But still, there was no Improvement. He was still headstrong and resented me and as always. I started giving him space. I didn't mingle with anything that had to do with him anymore. He did his own thing and I did mine. I guess it was better that way. I had spent some of the past days with my mother and more of them and the pack's hospital. I just wanted to keep my mind off
THE END.NARRATOR'S POV.SEVEN YEARS LATER.“Kol, Hardin, I don't think this is a great idea, let's just go back home.” Melissa, the youngest and only girl among the three children cried, but the guys paid no heed to her.“Come on Lisa, don't be scared.” Hardin, who was the oldest and the son of Carter and Aurora, urged her. “I promise nothing will happen to you, I will protect you.”“Yes.” Kol added. “We will protect you. You are our princess, remember?” Kol asked and Melissa quickly nodded her head.Kol was Arthur’s son and Melissa was Declan’s daughter.Hardin, the oldest was seven years old, Kol was six and Melissa was four. The two guys adored Melissa.“Good. So take my hand and let me guide you down.” Melissa, despite the fear gripping her little heart, stretched her hand forward to Hardin, who took it and carefully led the way down the steep road that led to the little river which was their destination.Carter and Arthur had brought the little guys to the river a few days ago
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE.ARTHUR’S POV.When Aurora first told me that she was going to try to talk Carter into the merging Royal High, I tried to discourage her from doing so because I thought she was only going to provoke him. I mean, the guy are up in a Royal household and he has always been treated special all his life. Telling him people like him had equal rights with other ordinary pack members was going to sting his heart and who knows what he might do, but I guess I was wrong. Aurora made the suggestion and he welcomed it which further proved his wiseness as a true Alpha.Today was the inauguration party of the new merged Shadow High School and I was elated to attend and see rich split kids be put in their places.Most leaders opposed the merge, but Alpha Carter paid no heed to this because he knew that was the right thing to do.The ceremony is taking place in the school hall and I am one of the people seated at the high table.Who would have thought I would be a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO.AURORA’S POV.News of my pregnancy spread like wildfire. The entire pack was in immense joy when they found out that their Future alpha was already on the way. I have never received so many gifts in my entire life. Every pack member sent at least a gift for the heir I was carrying.It's been a few months now and everything is going on smoothly. My pregnancy journey is amazing, exhausting and annoying.Amazing in the sense that everyone treats me so nicely wherever I go. They have all totally forgotten about the fact that I used to be a mere omega and a low life especially after Carter cleared my father’s name. It feels really good to be treated nicely by others.It is exhausting because I'm getting heavier as the days go by. Werewolf pregnancies last a much less shorter term because pups develop faster than humans, so at two months, I already have a huge bump and I will be going birth soon.And lastly, it is annoying because Carter won’t let me do a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONE.AURORA’S POV.“Declan and Arthur are such lucky guys. Their mates are so pretty!” Aurora gushes once we get into our bedroom. Since I'm the last to get in, I close the door behind me and walk over to her.“That would mean I'm the luckiest of them all.” I pull her into arms and she looks at me, smiling.“And, why do you say so?”“Because you, my mate, are the most beautiful woman to ever Grace this earth.” I compliment from the depth of my heart.She blushes hard. Her cheeks turn tomato red and she buries her face into my chest to hide the shyness on her face.“Stop it!” She mumbles under her breath and I laugh at her.“You still get shy every time I give you a compliment. That’s cute to watch.“Oh you go away!” She pushes my chest and escapes from my hold. I watch in silence as she sits on the plays with her fingers.“Things are moving better than I expected them to move.” I approach the bed and perch by her side. She looks up at me, curiosity fille
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY.CARTER’S POV.The moment I stretch my hand to knock on my room door, my phone rings in my pocket. Bloody hell! This is like the one thousandth phone call I'm receiving today. I quickly withdrew my hand and fish the phone out of my pocket. Arthur’s name flashes on the caller ID and I furrow my brows.He hardly calls me after work hours. I wonder what’s wrong.I answer the call and press the phone on my ear, holding it with my left hand while I knock on the door with my right.“Hello, Arthur.” I greet.“Alpha Carter.” He calls and I do an eye roll. I have asked several times to quit addressing me as Alpha Carter and just call me Carter, but he just won’t listen.“Yes, Beta Arthur.” I address him as such so as to irritate him. He hates it when I call him that. He lets out a heavy sigh which makes me understand that he doesn’t want to have this argument with me. What he has to say must be very important for him to dismiss this chance of argument. Arthur is
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE.ARTHURS'S POV.My life has changed.A few months ago, I used to be one of the outcasts of the pack. A low life, but today, here lam, living in the castle and helping out with pack activities, I can only be grateful to Aurora for paving the way to my success. If I didn't come to fight Alpha Carter that night, I would have been locked up in the dungeon and I would not be here, doing something more useful with my life. I am truly grateful to her.Every time I remember that I used to have a crush on her, I hit myself hard. I can't believe I had asked her to run away with me. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever done in my entire life.Trying to convince someone else's mate to flee with me.Carter and Aurora started on a very bad foot. They hated each other and Carter treated her really poorly, but right now, they are inseparable. They are not only the best lovers, but they are the best Alpha and Luna. The pack is doing very well because of how
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT.DECLAN'S POV.I have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past months. Right now, I don't even know what I'm feeling. My father was killed by the evil Beta Gideon, my brother almost forced to marry Chloe who is now of late as well. I was locked up in the dungeon for a week with barely any food or water. I thought I was going to die until my brother came and saved me and everyone else in the cell, including his mate.Now that he has taken over as he should, the pack is at peace and everything is going on smoothly as they should. I'm happy that he is leading the pack the way our father would have wanted him to, but I'm sad because our father is no longer here with us.It's true that we only miss what we have when we lose it.When my father was alive, the last thing I did was spend time with him. I was always in my space, doing my own thing. I used to tum down every guting he proposed, but right now, I wish he was here to do all those things.
Chapter 128Aurora's POV.Carter had been all over the place, for the party that was to hold tomorrow It has been a few days since he took me to that hill for a picnic. I'm glad he did.I neve knew I needed that, till I made my way up there. The gentle gust of wind that kept blowing over the tree that we were underneath it, was something else. I never knew such a place existed in the Shadow pack.It was more than beautiful. Well, I don't even want to talk about what happened after I pressed my lips against his.We literally went naked on top of that hill.It was a crazy but rare feeling. Something I would like to experience again and again. Oh, I almost forgot that, I had to pay doctor Savanna a visit. I had promised to go see her, after I saw some changes in my body.However, Carter had come up with his whole picnic thing, which I couldn't deny him.I enjoyed every bit of it.Carter, Declan and Arthur had left early in the morning; to complete the preparations for tomorrow.
Chapter 127Carter’s POV.The days have slowly passed by, and I am so happy for the new development. Everything was going on smoothly, like nothing had happened before. Still, I’m happy with the way that things were moving. At least this shows that there was some hope for us and to every other member in this pack. I was going to do my best to make sure that everyone is fine and they have nothing to worry about. My father is dead and automatically I become the new alpha, which means that the life of every member in this pack is in my hands and I need to protect them with everything that I have. Aside from that, today was the day I am going to take Aurora to the surprise I have been planning all along. No one knew about this. It was just me and my wolf and that of Auroras too, because I know that laden must be communicating with her and eventually he must have told her everything, which was OK by me. However, I have told him that none of these should get to Aurora. It
