CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT. Aurora's POV. After the instructions, we were to return to Royal Shadow High with each of the given animal targets. But who on earth was going to stand in front of a tiger?I couldn't. I would literally piss my pants if I saw one.I just hope that it doesn't get bad.We are going to take the road that leads straight to the woods. Each pair of students had their directions to take and Carter and I were going towards the south. The walk was quite cool and silent and I didn't know what to say.He has always been quiet and doesn't really look at me and I don't know why. Was he fighting within him about something bothering him and he couldn't say it out loud? Because I know that men do have their own silent battles that they fight within. You will never know, until they tell you.For someone like Carter, he wouldn't tell you, even if you asked him. So , I didn't always push my luck when it came to asking him things.Or maybe, his nightmares were probably the ca
CHAPTER FIFTY NINE Carter's POV. Seeing that this girl still cares for me after everything I have done to her amazes me.I had expected her to hate me as much as I hated her. It was like as the days went by something was beginning to change along too.She must be thinking about the way I started to behave lately. Well, I don't really have any explanation for that because it's actually crazy. I can't even understand what's going on with me anymore. I can’t really give any good reasons for my behavior. I was taken aback when I noticed that I was paired with her to go to the camp survival thing. I mean, there were alot of people I could be paired with and not her.At one point, I thought the school authorities really wanted to see my downfall. However, there was nothing I could do. I just had to obey. Not like I had any authority over the school.I had let her take a picture of us.I couldn't handle seeing the depressed look on her face when she thought I wouldn't allow her to
CHAPTER SIXTY ONEAurora's POV. "Carter!" I screamed at the top of my voice with teary eyes, hoping he could hear me when he suddenly took off to the clearing on his left side.How did I even get here? I was all alone and stranded in the middle of nowhere with two big and scary tigers growling at me. Something I have never seen with my own naked eyes before.I felt the blood drain from my body when the two bloodthirsty thirsty creatures started to take steps towards me. I didn't know what to do.As they moved towards me, I took steps behind. I felt the ground under me shake, when I heard a deep roar followed by a loud growl."Shit!" I cursed when they started moving at faster space and I kept increasing my steps behind. Thug!My back hit the floor when I tripped on a tree trunk behind me.'You can't fight these tigers. Just shapeshift and run away.” Mia growled in my head as I tried to take control , so that I could shift into my wolf form.However, I couldn't do that. It was goin
CHAPTER SIXTY TWOAurora's POVI sat down on the sofa with my legs tapping vigorously on the floor as I waited for Carter to return from wherever he went.How could he do that to me? He betrayed and left me defenseless in front of those animals and came to the pack with no iota of shame in him.My blood was getting hot with each passing second as I thought about everything that had happened while I was here.This is not the first time he had done this to me.I feel so broken inside. I was totally torned apart.Feeling sick of sitting on the chair for too long, I stood up and paced around in the room.Click!Click!I heard some noise outside and I immediately knew that he was the one coming back from wherever he had gone. It was like he had seen a ghost the moment he opened the door and saw me in the room. Of course , he ought to act like that. He thought I was probably dead or something. "I can see you are wondering if I'm a ghost. Aren’t you?” I looked at him with anger burning

CHAPTER SIXTY THREEAurora's POV. He looked up at me with doubt as he scratched his head."Uhmm, someone asked me to give it to you."His gaze was now down on his face. I opened the paper curiously. White papers were beginning to scare me. The last one I got didn't end well and I wonder what this one could contain. I glanced at the paper and looked at the little boy. He was already gone, before I could ask him anything else, his name, he didn't even tell me or he didn't even give me the time to ask him.I let out a sigh as I brought my hand down with the paper in it and walked to the kitchen. I moved further into the kitchen island and sat on it. Putting my phone on the table, I brought the paper closer to my face, so that I could get a good look at it.I opened up the paper and my eyes immediately darted to the addresser’s name.My eyes immediately lit up as I scanned the content of the letter. It was from Arthur. Only the Goddess knows how much I have missed him.I held the
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE Carter's POV.My life has been a big burn ever since she came in. I didn't like her, so what was I supposed to do? She was forced to be with me and my father had to make her come live with me.I had a girl that I loved before she came in and now that I think about it, everything was slowly taking different turns. I'm not myself anymore. From the day I slept with her and marked her, everything slowly began to change. I don't know if they were changing for the better or for worse. In other words, I hope it has been for the better. I was getting exhausted from it all. I couldn't continue like this anymore.My stupid emotions were seriously dealing with me the day I had left her with the tigers. I didn't know what to do anymore. I still had to get her out of my life and I knew that was just the best way to do it. Letting her be killed by those animals so that I wouldn't be held responsible for so I had to leave her there to sprint home. I was not expecting to
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE.Carter's POV. I'm currently laying in bed, thinking of the different turns my life has taken so far.From what I know, finding one's mate was finding love and happiness. But it just got a little complicated.Right now, I don't know how to feel anymore. Maybe, this was my mistake from the beginning. Why did I hate her so much? Why did I treat her the way I did?Did she deserve it all?I sat up on my bed and rested my head against the bedpost as I stared at the black screen of my phone, with different emotions building inside of me.I just can't believe it myself that I'm beginning to fall for this girl. The girl I recently detested so much. The girl I had subjected to punishment and also left her out there to be killed by some hungry tigers. Not only that, I had done a lot of terrible things to her. Still, she never left me even for once. She stayed and endured everything. Just how bad was I? Perhaps, she was right when she told me that my mother wouldn't b
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
