CHAPTER ONEAurora's POV“Aurora, you haven’t had breakfast yet!” My mom scolds as I hastily whisk out of the house.“Just keep my portion in the fridge mum, I’ll eat when I get back from school” I yell at the top of my lungs as I close the door behind me and rush into the bush nearby. I know she’s going to spend the better part of the day worrying about the fact that I haven’t had breakfast and I feel like a spoiled brat for doing that to her, but I can’t help it. I have to go to school early, even if it is at the expense of my health and my mum’s emotional well being and that is because my school doesn’t go easy on low class students like me. It hasn’t always been like this though. My father used to be the Omega of the pack, which is the Shadow Moon Pack, but he was accused of plotting against Alpha, Logan Bruce. When the Alpha heard about this, he grew furious and killed my father without even investigating the issue. He went as far as banishing my mother and I from the main pack
CHAPTER TWOAurora’S POVIt is forty five minutes into the last class before lunch break and everyone is already exhausted and famished. Worst of all, it is a Biology class and the teacher just keeps talking and I keep having this little war with the sleep in my eyes. My case is the worst because I skipped breakfast, and right now I’m so hungry that I can’t even think straight. The most pathetic thing is that I don’t even have up to five dollars on me to buy myself a good lunch, so during the break, I'll just have to get something very small and eat.My life is not an easy one.The moment the bell goes, the entire class gets rowdy and I quietly start packing my books in my bag.“Yo Aurora!” A familiar voice calls out as the person approaches me.“What now, Drake?” I ask in a bored tone as I carry my school back and look up at him. Drake is a tall blonde haired guy who has a reputation of terrorising the rich kids from the Royal section. He hates them and many teachers have tried to g
CHAPTER THREEAurora's POV“Mate” I repeated the word he had just uttered, almost in joy, but the look in my mate's eyes made me understand that not all is well and that there is absolutely nothing for me to be joyful about. I take a step backwards to escape his closeness that intimidates me, but to my greatest shock, he stalks closer to me and runs his hand through my long black hair. He grabs it tight and pushes me against the wall where I hit my back hard and a loud scream escapes my lips. Still holding my hair, he jerks my head up and forces me to look in his eyes. By this time, his almond shaped, sea rover-blued eyes are blazing with contempt and loathe.His imperious nose is flaring and his angular cheekbones are tight as a result of him gritting his teeth.Anger, disappointment, loathe, contempt and every other negative emotion is all I can see in his eyes.I whimper in pain as tears fall freely down my cheeks. He isn't only hurting me physically, but emotionally and psychol
CHAPTER FOUR. Aurora's POV "Please, let me go. I did nothing wrong, I was only trying to run away from…" I’m not done with what I am saying when the man who earlier said that I was going to be thrown in the dungeon cuts me off with the most terrifying voice I have ever heard in my entire life."Just shut up, you daughter of a low life. It should have occurred to you what would happen if you stepped those useless feet into the Royal section of the school. Your father was a traitor and that stripped him of all his rights as royalty.” He spat out furiously and his obliviousness on the matter intrigues me.When were they going to accept the truth? My father was not a traitor, he was set up and as of now, only the moon goddess who saw all, can attest to that. No one is going to believe me if I ever open my mouth to defend him again. That will only cause my mother and I more trouble than we already have.How I wish my wolf, Mia, will just take over me right now and snap their necks .“E
CHAPTER FIVE Aurora's POV I am seated at one end of the room, which is opposite the large iron door with my hands clutched around my knees and my head resting on them. Few locks of my hair fell down my face and I can tell it’s touching the floor, given how long they are.Sitting down here in pure sorrow and agony, my mind drifts back to the events of the past few hours. Thinking about Arthur makes my heart skip in fright and I lift my head up. I hope nothing bad has happened to him. I hope he is safe.I pray in the name of the moon goddess that the silly boyfriend of Chloe and his crew did not do anything bad to him, because I’m not going to forgive myself if that happens. I had dried up my tears, but with the pain I am feeling right now, they keep pouring down my cheeks.I shut my eyes tight, thinking of my mind linking Arthur, just to know how he is feeling, to know if everything is okay with him, instead, I can feel my mother's mind link pushing through. She is probably worrie
CHAPTER SIX Aurora's POV. I’m still locked up in this God forsaken cell and I have blocked Aurther from mind linking me because he is going to know everything, even without me telling him.The sound of the big ironing door opening snaps me out of my thoughts and I look ahead to see what’s going on. The orange lights which had been turned off all day suddenly come on and illuminate the room.At the door stands one of the guards from yesterday. He walks slowly towards me and throws some clothes in the air, causing them to fly and land a few meters before me on the ground. "Dressed up and leave". He orders with a stern voice.I was happy before leaving home yesterday, but now I I was a complete mess and the only thing I felt in my heart was anger and bitterness for everyone in the royal section.I don’t utter a word to him as I walk slowly to where he had thrown the clothes and pick them up, before returning back to my spot to I quickly put the clothes on. I looked down at my shirt in
CHAPTER SEVEN Aurora's POV “Arthur.” I call with a calm voice.He tousles his hair in annoyance, before walking into the room. I watch in silence as he goes over to my bed and sits on it. If he’s doing that, it means he’s not very mad at me and a simple apology will set things right between us."Ward and his gang. I couldn't fight them all. After you left, I tried to beat them up, but I was outnumbered and they dealt with me squarely. I had to sustain this.” He explains the last part, looking down at his sprained arm. "Oh, Arthur, I'm so sorry for making you go through this. It was all my fault to begin with. I hope you forgive me." I cry as I face-palm myself, letting a few drops of tears fall down my face.He drifts closer to me and uses his free hand to bring down my hand from my face. I let him hold them. "Nothing is your fault Aurora. You tried to defend yourself and I blame you for nothing.” He says in his usual calm tone and I can feel the sincerity in his voice. "Thank yo
CHAPTER EIGHTAurora's POV I open the pot and serve myself some noodles since mother seems to be asleep already.I find a spot in the kitchen and sit down to eat. Tomorrow is going to be another day of school and I'm certain it is not going to end well.Evenso, I'm going to give it hot to anyone who pushes my limits. When I’m done eating , I leave for my bedroom. It’s actually freezing tonight so I walk to my closet and pick up a blue hoodie and put it on before climbing on the bed. I pull the duvet up my body and wrap myself in it. It feels warm and comfortable. As I close my eyes, my subconscious takes over and in no time, I fall asleep.***************************************************************"Aurora, you should wake up and prepare for school. It's already 5: 49 AM.” I hear my mother yell at the top of her voice and I know she is standing just right in front of my door. She always does this.If only she knew what I went through yesterday, she would let me sleep all day
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
