CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT. Carter's POV. I stood in a daze for a minute when she said she needed a separate room. Was she for real right now?I thought everything was fine, but she ate and told me she wanted a separate room. How do I make her see that I was truly sorry for everything?I was not myself. I regret everything I ever did to her. I was such an idiot for doing that to her. She keeps talking about the encounter with tigers. How do I remedy that?From what I could clearly see, she was not going to forgive me any time soon.I think I had to take this one step at a time and not force her into doing what her mind has denied her from doing. If I really wanted this to work, then I needed to be patient with her.She tried to push my hands away from hers, but I held them tight. "Let go of me, Carter. You can't just treat me badly and then out of nowhere want me to forget everything and forgive you. It doesn't work that way."She separated her head from mind and pushed me backwards.
Chapter 70.Aurora's POV. People do make mistakes right? And they get forgiven. Even though it's always hard to forget. Still, they needed a second chance. However, where I was right now, I was caught between my emotions and forgiving Carter a second chance. Everything he had done to me was still fresh in my head and I couldn't just forget it that easily. I was sitting on the sofa and he was kneeling between my legs, his face buried between my thighs as he cried. To be honest, I have never seen a man shed tears and it really broke my heart to see him crying like this.No matter how hard I tried to push him away, my conscience kept judging me really badly. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and this never happened. We never met and nothing ever happened between us.But I was stuck here with him. My heart wanted this so badly but my head kept telling me otherwise. He was going to repeat the same mistakes again; my head said. Give him another chance, my heart would tell
CHAPTER SEVENTY ONECarter's POV. I know that Aurora hasn't forgiven me yet, but I'm good with the fact that she said she was going to think about everything and not leave me. One step after the other and I know that everything will be okay.We are going back to living our normal lives. She was an amazing girl and I don't want to lose her for any reason. I have been an idiot once and I don't want to be any more. She was my mate and I'm going to man up and do what is required to keep her with me.On our way to the rogue pack, I thought it wise to show some romantic moves even though I know I really suck at doing that, but I was certainly going to do my best so that everything went perfectly well between us.When we reached the rogue pack, I gently placed her down, since I had in my arms bridal style."Why did you bring me here?"She turned to look at me, with her blue eyes burning down my face and I just wanted them to stare at me forever."To watch me fight. At least you could see
CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO. Aurora's POV. Everything was going on perfectly when Carter stepped into the ring. I became confused as to why he suddenly stood still and let the big blonde guy beat him up. Knowing who Carter was, I wonder why he was doing that. He would never let himself get defeated. He just stood still and lost in thought while his opponent was seriously throwing heavy punches at him.Everyone around looked at the scenario in confusion. I felt the bile running up in my tummy. My hands that were resting on his backpack, clenched into a fist. What in the world was he doing? The guy holding the whistle tried to get him to fight back, but he was not responding and I couldn't take it anymore. I took off the bag from my thighs and placed it on the bench I was sitting on and took up fast and angry steps to the ring. Only when I yelled at the big guy did he stop and Carter turned to look at me with foggy red eyes.I questioned what that was all about. Why would he just stan
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE.Aurora's POV. It's been two days since Carter and I had made up. Everything was moving perfectly fine between us.We could mind-link each other now quite well.Well, I think there was a little time left before we could start feeling each other's emotions and many more.I remembered asking Mia the other day if she could hear Carter's wolf, if they could communicate with each other. We had already been marked and I knew that wouldn't be a problem, but I was quite disappointed that she couldn't. I think all this needed some time. We had only made up a few days ago and I think everything would fall into place eventually.As much as everything was going on well between Carter and I, it was not going on really well on my own part, given the fact that my friend Arthur, was in the pack's dungeon for the mess he had gotten himself into.I have been in a dungeon before I knew what it meant.He was left to starve and would probably get killed on the next full moon for b
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE Aurora's POV. Night was finally here. Carter had mindlink me earlier to tell me that he was with his father Alpha Logan, working on some pack issues. I wonder what they were all about.I didn't even have the chance to ask him about the dungeon. I guess I was going to find out for myself. I also didn't tell him about Chloe coming over to look for him. They had better solve whatever that is happening between them because I wouldn't keep it in If she shows up here next time.I walked to the closet and grabbed one of Carter's sweaters and put it on. It was black sweater with long red sleeves. His manly scent was all over the sweater. It was so warm and comforting. When I had done that, I made my way directly to the kitchen. I had to take some water and food to Arthur. He must be in a terrible state now and I couldn't help but feel guilty and bad for him.It was all because of me that he was put in that sick place. A place meant for lunatics like Chloe. I d
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR Aurora’s POV.I have been looking after Arthur for two days now. Carter would always ask me where I was and would lie to him I was just outside catching some air or I would tell him that I was at my mother's to avoid getting to dig the truth out of me.Though I greatly doubt if he was going to do anything if he finds out I was going to see Arthur, the same person who had run into the pack house and launched an attack on him.I didn't tell him about Chloe coming the past days to look for him.I could clearly feel that he had no feelings for her again.You must be asking how I got to know that; well the thing is, when you and your mate care for each other, you start having all those feelings. Whatever thing, be it bad or good that the other partner was going through, you had to feel that too. Even the pain.Their emotions and all the like. And also given the fact that Carter never talked about her made me strongly believe that he was surely letting go of everyt
CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVECarter's POV. It's been a few days since my father told me about the party at Beta's Gideon's house and we had been making some preparations for the party.Guess what? He invited everyone in my house for dinner. He had never organized a party before and called my family to be a part of it.I am still wondering what this one was all about. The dinner was actually going to happen tonight. It’s noon and I’m currently in my father's office and we were talking some issues about the pack. He was telling me his plan of constructing a new building next to ours.I didn't know the reason why he wanted to build a new house while that which we lived in was big enough and still had some empty rooms."What's the need for a new house, father? I mean, there are more than enough here already.” I asked, looking at him curiously. His lips twitched into a smile.He leaned forward on his chair and placed his entwined fingers on the table separating us “A man is never tired of
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
