CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Aurora's POV "This way please.” Beta Gideon keeps directing my mother and I as we follow him closely. "We're finally going to be with our mate!” Mia keeps singing in my mind and I roll my eyes hard at her.Her excitement was so much and I could feel my head hurting. She was giving me a headache.She can’t even pity me after all the trouble I have been through because of this issue. I wonder what her excitement is even about. Carter is nothing but a brute!"Could you please stop jumping in my head? You are giving me a headache.” I beg her and she slows down. "Well, I'm just happy that we're going to see our very arrogant mate". She says enthusiastically and I fight my urge to laugh.Did she just say “arrogant mate?”It’s a good thing she knows he’s an arrogant prick.The funniest thing is, ever since Alpha Logan announced that Carter and I will be staying together, I have this weird tingly feeling in my stomach. Carter is my mate and no matter what, I love him,
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Aurora's POV.“Oh my goodness!” I giggle. “ I don’t even know what to say. Thank you for the compliment, but thanks to your curiosity, I almost had a heart attack.”“I apologize for that. It’s not going to happen again. Nexttime, I’ll make sure to announce my arrival in a more subtle way.”“I would love that so much.” I say, tugging a few strands of hair behind my ear."The switch is this way.” He says pointing to the switch that’s just beside the door. “Don't miss it next time.” "Got it!" "Mmmm" he said nodding and before siting the bedroom. I scan the spacious totally white bedroom and for some reason, I’m relieved that Carter isn’t here. There would have been more drama if he was here.Sweet Moon Goddess, I need your guidance and protection as I stay in this room with my arrogant mate.After murmuring my short prayer, I turned to have a look at the room again. It was quite big with a king-sized bed at the center. His closet is the walked in type. Next to the
CHAPTER NINETEEN Aurora's POV. Well, last night was a terrible one. Not like I expected it to be good either. I'd known he’d retaliate when he sees me in his bedroom even though the order was given by his father. Knowing how mean he was, I knew he wasn’t going to take it lightly with me. I had already braced myself for the fight. To be honest, I don't know what the rest of my days with him are going to be or look like, given the fact that I have to stay in a room with someone who detest me that much. It's crazy.After he left last night, to where I know nothing about, I picked myself up from where I was sitting. I cleaned my eyes and made my way to the bathroom that was linked to his room. I did my night routine and left the bathroom. I looked at the dress on my body, which had some wine droplets on it, as a result of the incident with Chloe which actually led to this fight with Carter. The wine had left a stain on my gown. I needed to change out of it, however I had no clo
CHAPTER TWENTY ONE Aurora's POV I stand still as I hear the steps come closer. If the person coming is Carter then my morning will be completely ruined!The steps keep coming closer and soon the door opens. I look at it, horror feeling my eyes, expecting Carter’s masculine image to appear, but no, it doesn’t. Instead, a girl comes in and it seems to be a servant because of the apron she has tied around her dress."Good morning.” She greets as walks into the kitchen.I place my hand over my chest in relief, and let out a heavy sigh.Thank God it wasn’t the bully!"Good morning ". I reply to her greeting and she nods and walks past me to the fridge. "Sorry if I scared you, I came to collect these…” she says opening the fridge that’s packed with fruits and snacks. “I’m going down to give it to the Alpha". She smiles, waving a pack of apples in front of me. "Okay.” I smile back at her.Apples for the Alpha, not bad. The servant, whose name I still do not know, nods and starts walkin
CHAPTER TWENTY TWOCarter's POV. When I left the room that night , I was determined to go and see my father. I needed to talk to him about all this. He can’t just impose something on me. This is my life and I had the right to make my own decisions. Since it was late at night and I knew he was going to be asleep, I still needed to talk to him. As rightly speculated, he was about to go to bed when I got into his bedroom. He opened the door and narrowed his gaze at me, with a blank expression on his face. Probably knowing what I want. He invited me into his room and I sat on the gray couch that overlooked his bed, fidgeting with my fingers. My father is someone who wouldn't change his mind easily, once it is made up, but, I just have to try, because I don't see myself living in the same room with that girl. I detest her so much. And it would only be better if he has a change of heart and does something about it. He can put her in another room as long as she doesn't cross my path."
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO Aurora's POV.The moment he leaves the room, I stand frozen on the spot.What has seriously gotten into him? I know he doesn't like me, but why would he go to such an extent to treat me like trash. We both know how cold the weather is this season, yet he wants to make me sleep on the floor.Just how far is he willing to go to make my life miserable?“You are going to get through this.”Mia calmly tells me in my head. Since I have nothing else to say, I walk over to the sitting area and slump on the couch, letting out a loud growl.If this is how mating bonds is like, then I guess the moon Goddess should just let werewolves choose who they want to mate with.After almost an hour of doing nothing, I decided to take a walk around the pack house and most especially, to see where the pack doctor is located.It has always been a dream for me to become a pack doctor, so I guess I can start off by doing minor things, one of which is visiting the pack hospital to see how th
CHAPTER TWENTY FOURAurora's POV. Today is just another day of school and as much as I don’t want to go, I have to. The fear of getting weird glances and probably getting into trouble has me freaking out. I have been through so much lately and the last thing I want is to get into any sort of trouble, not after recently being punished. The fact that I was announced as Carter's mate in a population of people would get tongues wagging and I hate that very much. However, being the Aurora that I have always been, I promise to give them all a piece of me. I am going to give it hot to anyone that tries to step in my way.When I left the place I had wanted to visit, which I did, but didn't have the chance to get inside, I had to move back to my room and as usual, Carter was not in the room which I felt so relieved about. His presence always gives me this uneasy feeling. So it is better if we don’t see each other often. Well, that’s such a lame idea there, considering that we both share a
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR Aurora's POV. I sling my bag over my shoulders as I hurry down the stairs.It is quite early in the morning and not many people can be seen in the courtyard. Just the older ones, going about their morning activities. I could have easily asked for a ride to Shadow high, but I just want to walk and think about possible ways in which I am going to use Carter to survive with Carter. He is such a pain in the ass. A pain in my ass!How did I become mates with him again? Did the moon Goddess really see me as someone who is worth all this trouble? Why would she choose to punish me like this? Didn't I deserve much better than this? Is being an omega really that useless that she couldn't pair me up with someone mature and responsible enough?What a waste of my life.“Can you please let me take control? At least, we will move faster than this.” Mia begs me and I roll my eyes. She won’t let me have one moment of peace in my life. I'm beginning to think that she is tryi
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
