I woke up because of a noise coming from outside the room. It was like children playing near the door and I also heard their soft giggles. I got up and felt the pain of my womanhood.
shoot! It sting a lot! If only I knew that it would hurt this much! I shook my head and rested a little before I'll stand and go to the restroom. I didn't think this would hurt so bad, after! It was only then that I noticed that I was already dressed, and I was even wearing Jax's t-shirt that looked like a duster to me. and why the h*ll did I just call him?! Jax?! when?! I frown on my own thoughts and get up from the bed. I still feel the stingy pain even when I will just move a little. I didn't mind it, I immediately turned on the faucet and filled the tub with water. I put some powder that is for the body, so that the tub will be filled with some bubbles. After that, I soaked my whole body in the bathtub and closed my eyes because of the relief it gave me. After minutes of soaking my body from the warm water. I immediately take a bath and change into new clothes. However, the pain down there slowly disappears and I can now walk comfortably. When I went outside the room, I saw two childrens on the left side close to this room's door. They were playing and laughing, so I walked towards them. When they finally noticed my presence, they looked at me and stared at me. “Who is she?” I heard one whisper. When I almost reach them. They stood up and ran fast in front of me while shouting. I didn't mind it and went to the kitchen instead. I smell something good that is being cooked. Maybe he is cooking. I was hesitating whether to still go on to the kitchen or not. But I'm thirsty, I need water. I was about to go straight to the kitchen, when the one child earlier blocked my way. “Why?” She didn't respond and even ignored my question. “Excuse m- my word got cut off when the other young girl approached me and he is with someone older than her. Maybe their mom? God! His family is here?! Should I go back inside the room now?! Shoot what to do?! “Mom, who is she? She went out from Tito Ash’s room.” I was shocked when the young girl said those things to her mother. Didn't they know that the Alpha got his slave already? And it's me? They were looking at me with confusion in their eyes and unfamiliarity. While I am now super nervous of what to do. I will meet his family anytime. Why didn't he tell me? So that I can prepare them a dish or serve them. I am a slave for fck sake but I just woke up and even took a bath before doing my task. My heartbeat will burst in any minute and I can't talk. I don't know what to say. They were just staring at me waiting for my response. “She's not Tito's wife right? or is She?” the other young girl asked. That got me chills! Why would they think that their Tito already has a wife?! I'm at a loss for what to say. I can't open my mouth because of nervousness. Before their mother spoke, I felt someone touch my arm. That's when I felt relieved in an instant. His touch calmed me. “This is Aurora, she's my slave.” I hate hearing that I am a slave but then it is the Alpha, I can't do anything about it. “What? Not a wife or something?” Maybe she is his sister? They have similarities and I can tell immediately. Jax chuckles because of what his sister just said. And that's my first time hearing him laugh like that. “No, I just picked her the other day as my slave.” “Oh, so the rumors are true that you've already picked a slave again.” his sister muttered. “Yesha, Yassy you heard it right? It is your Tito's slave.” she tell the young girls “Why slave? She is beautiful.” the one with the bangs said. “Yes, mom she is but still I don't want Tito to have a wife already.” the other one said while being sad. Jax chuckles again about what he just heard from them. He rubs my arms and looks at me, he then lowers his posture to match with the young girls. “I don't have a wife yet Yassy, don't worry I will tell you when I found someone already, okay? he said in a soothing voice. I am just looking at them and I realized how different Jax is when he is around with his nephews. “Why not her tito? She's beautiful and look at her eyes it's sparkling.” Her mother laughed with her words and hussh her after. I just shook my head in my mind because of their thoughts about me. Jax stood up and stood beside me while smiling with his nephew's thoughts. I felt calm beside him, I didn't feel any nervousness after his appearance. “Let's go, mom is already preparing the food.” her sister said that made me feel worried. I look at Jax who is now staring at me. His sister and nephew’s already gone there, which left the two of us. “I will just stay inside the room. I'll go out after you are all finished.” “No, you will join us.” he said in a low but orderly manner. “No, I'll just stay inside.” I insisted. “This is an order Aurora, I don't want you to starve yourself.” he said while not breaking our eye contact. “But I am just a slave. How come a slave joins a family’s meal?” I don't feel like it. It is my first time meeting his family, so how come I will join them with their supposed to be family’s meal with a servant's presence? It's not right, I should know my boundaries. Not because we shared something last night doesn't mean I have to cross my line. I know what I am to him and to them. I shouldn't let him make me feel comfortable that easily. “Okay if that's what you want. I will bring you some food in the room. Wait for me there.” “No, I will eat after you all are finished.” “Stop it, no one can order me.” he insisted and went straight to the Kitchen where his family was waiting for him. I am just staring at his back before I turn and run towards the room. He is so bossy! Because he is the Alpha Aurora! Just what did I do to flip this situation of mine?? ArghhhWhile I'm here inside my room. Someone knocked on the door. I stood up and immediately opened it. Jax is standing there carrying a tray with a lot of food. My eyes went big because of the different kinds of food he put in the tray. It's like these foods are for a week already. He gets inside and places it on the table beside the bed. “This is a lot, it's not that I will not get out here for a whole week.” I said unbelievably. “You need to eat a lot, Aurora. I need you to be stronger beside me.” he said with a serious look on his face. He seems to be conveying something I didn't know. What a bossy alpha I got.“Here” He gets the bite size of something that looks like chocolate and places it in front of my mouth. I hesitated at first but he won't remove it not until I open my mouth. “This tastes good, mom made it, this is called brownies.” I eat it and munch until I finish it. “Yeah, it tastes good.” I said and got another one myself. He nodded and reminded me again to eat everyt
The scent of roasted garlic and rosemary filled the air, mingling with the sweet aroma of the apple pie cooling on the counter. I had spent the afternoon preparing a feast fit for a king, or at least, for my alpha. He was due back any minute, and I couldn't help but feel a flutter of anticipation in my chest. The incident with the peanuts had been a wake-up call. It wasn't just about the nuts, it was about the vulnerability they exposed. The alpha, ever vigilant, had taken it upon himself to ensure our safety, even if it meant being a bit overprotective. I couldn't blame him. We were a pack, and his responsibility extended to every member, young and old. The thought of the young ones, their innocent eyes filled with fear after the intrusion, tugged at my heart. It was a stark reminder of the fragility of our world. The humans, with their insatiable curiosity and thirst for power, had crossed a line, and the consequences were dire. I glanced at the clock, the hands ticking away with
The crimson sun dipped below the horizon, casting long, ominous shadows across the cobblestone streets of Dawnsville. A chill wind whipped through the town, carrying with it the scent of woodsmoke and fear. The air hung heavy with anticipation, a palpable tension that prickled the skin and tightened the chest.Jaxon, the alpha of Dawnsville, stood atop the watchtower, his gaze sweeping across the town below. His senses were on high alert, every fiber of his being tuned to the slightest tremor in the air, the faintest whisper of danger. The recent intrusion, the audacious attack on their territory, had left a scar on the pack, a reminder of their vulnerability. He had vowed to protect his people, to ensure their safety at all costs.The town was quiet, eerily so. The usual bustle of evening life, the laughter of children playing, the rhythmic clang of the blacksmith's hammer, had been replaced by an oppressive silence. Even the wolves, normally boisterous and playful, were subdue
The news of the attack reached Aurora like a cold wave, washing over her with a chilling dread. The whispers of the townsfolk, the hushed tones, the worried faces, all painted a grim picture of what had transpired in Dawnsville. Jaxon, her alpha, her mate, had been injured. The thought of him, wounded and vulnerable, sent a shiver down her spine, a pang of fear that tightened her chest.She had been in the kitchen, preparing a simple meal, her mind lost in thoughts of the alpha, when the news arrived. A young wolf, his face pale and drawn, stumbled into the house, his words tumbling out in a torrent of anxiety."Aurora, you need to come to the clinic. Jaxon… he's been hurt."The world seemed to tilt on its axis, the familiar sounds of the house fading into a distant hum. She felt a surge of panic, a primal instinct to protect her mate, to be by his side. She grabbed her cloak, her hands trembling, her heart pounding in her chest."Tell me what happened," she urged, her voice st
The morning sun, a pale sliver peeking over the horizon, cast long shadows across the training grounds. The air was crisp, carrying the scent of pine needles and damp earth, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that had settled over Dawnsville after the attack. But the silence was a deceptive calm, a prelude to the storm of activity about to unfold.Jaxon, still bearing the mark of the recent battle, stood at the edge of the training grounds, his gaze sweeping across the assembled pack. His wound, though healing, still throbbed with a dull ache, a constant reminder of the vulnerability he had experienced. He had been lucky, he knew, but the experience had shaken him, forcing him to confront his own mortality, the fragility of his position as alpha.He had called this meeting, this training session, not just to hone their skills, but to instill a sense of urgency, a renewed commitment to their safety and security. The attack had been a wake-up call, a stark reminder that their en
The crisp autumn air nipped at Aurora's cheeks as she walked towards the familiar clearing, a haven of peace nestled amidst the towering pines. It had been a month since she had last seen Amelia, her closest confidante, her sister in all but blood. The recent attack, the aftermath of Jaxon's injury, the constant worry that gnawed at her, had kept her tethered to Dawnsville, unable to venture out. But today, she yearned for the comfort of Amelia's presence, the solace of their shared secrets, the warmth of their unspoken understanding. As she reached the clearing, she saw Amelia sitting on a moss-covered boulder, her back against a towering pine, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon. Her hair, a cascade of auburn curls, was caught by the wind, framing a face that was both beautiful and strong, a reflection of the woman she had become. "Amelia," Aurora called out, her voice a soft whisper carried by the wind. Amelia turned, her eyes widening in surprise, a smile blooming on her fa
The weight of Amelia's revelation pressed down on me like a physical burden. Sleep had become a distant memory, replaced by a constant churning of thoughts and anxieties. Even the simple act of preparing Jax's meals, a task I usually performed with meticulous care, felt clumsy and haphazard. The Alpha sensed my disquiet, his usually sharp gaze softening with concern. But he held back, respecting my need for space, for time to process the storm raging within me."You seem troubled," he said one evening, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through the room as he sat across from me at dinner.I forced a smile, hoping to mask the turmoil within. "Just a bit tired, that's all."He studied me, his eyes piercing through my facade. "You haven't slept well, have you?"I shook my head, unable to meet his gaze. "It's nothing, really. Just a few restless nights."He sighed, his expression softening. "If you're troubled, you can tell me. You know I'm always here for you."His words were a balm to
The morning is quite gloomy, but my thoughts are still reeling from last night. Confusion swirls in my mind like a ticking bomb. However, I refuse to dwell on it, Jaxon seems fine, at least outwardly.He acts as if our conversation never happened, which I find unsettling. I lack the courage to ask him directly. I need to respect our boundaries, even though we're close. I must remember he's the Alpha, the ruler of this town.He sits at the table, flipping through the newspaper. I pour him tea, remaining silent. I should act as if last night was insignificant.I sit beside him, about to eat, when he speaks. “The council will have a party later,” he says, eyes still on the newspaper. He lifts his teacup and sips, a faint smile playing on his lips.I frown, confused. He mentioned the council last night, but what about the party? Why are they holding one? Is it related to the attack two weeks ago? The timing feels...odd.“Why are they holding a party?” I ask, my confusion evident. “Is i
