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
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVECarter's POV.I'm beginning to think that, when I told that girl that I didn't want her on my bed, she thought I was joking. It is enough that I have to share a room with her against my wish and the least I expect from her is any form of disrespect. Not wanting her on my bed also means that nothing of hers should be seen on it. The sight of her irritates me so badly. I would kill her at any given opportunity, I swear. To me, she is not worth living. She ought to be dead just like her father.Just what did she think she could do when I got in the room this morning? She saw me all bruised up and thought it wise to render her help. Even if she could help, I wouldn't let her use her filthy hands to touch me.Goodness! How did my father even let this happen? Can't he see that, he is slowly draining the life out of me by making me live with that girl? It's aching and actually it makes me want to do something stupid each time I set my eyes on her.Her scent has been all
CHAPTER TWENTY SIX Aurora's POV. I literally freak out every second whenever I think of the possibility that the queen bee; Penelope and her friends were going to come back for me after what I told them this morning. The fear of her bringing her boyfriend to start a fight like they did last time won’t let me have a peaceful day in school. I know what happened last time and everything I went through and I don’t think I will be able to handle it for the second time. I'm doing my best to get out of trouble, but trouble keeps getting in my way. Come to think of it, what did I ever do to any of them? They always seize every opportunity to make my life miserable. The fact that I told them that Carter was going to get back at them for causing trouble to the future Luna, A.K.A me, is just crazy. It makes me laugh every time I think of it. He'd been the last person to buy that lame idea. Yes, I am calling it lame because it is actually lame.I don't even know where I got that sick idea
CHAPTER TWENT-SEVEN Aurora's POV. I’m sure he just came back from school. I go about doing some random things while waiting for the door to swing open with the kind of force he always does, but nothing happens. Instead, I hear a knock which startles me. Who could be knocking? Because, I know Carter never does that. Why would he be knocking on his own door?I shrug and push the thought at the back of my head as I decide to go get the door."Who is there?” I ask once I’m at the door. I press my ear against it, waiting for an answer. "It's Declan.” A familiar deep voice sounds on the other side of the door. His voice is as deep as their father’s. Even Carter's voice sounds the same."You can come in.” I signal and immediately I finish saying the words, he pushes the door open, almost hitting me as I’m standing behind the door.“What’s wrong with these brothers and violence?” Mia asksin my head as I stumble behind. “I have no idea, Mia. They were naturally born with it, I guess.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTCarter's POV. If you asked me what this girl's problem was, I wouldn't be able to tell you. She finds it so hard to stay out of my way. Let her keep pestering me around. I said this already; I'm going to give her the hell she so much requires so that she could go there while I have some peace and be able to breathe freely in my own room. When I thought she would stay, she left my room. That was so thoughtful of her.She started with her troubles this morning and she only waited for me to come back from school, so that she could continue what she started in the morning.I could make my way to the kitchen, if I was hungry. I mean that's what I have been doing, before she came along or was she trying to take my mother's place? I guess she wouldn't. I let out a sigh as I picked up my phone which was laying beside me on the bed and decided to text Chloe.She had confronted me earlier today in school. She asked about her place in my life. She had also asked, if I
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
