While 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 everything or half of it if I can't finish all the food he put in the tray. He got out of the room and I sat at the bedside and started eating some of it. But what I like the most is the one he offered earlier. I eat everything I like and leave those I'm not familiar with. I was eating peacefully when I felt itchy and started to catch my breath. It feels like I'll lose consciousness any moment. I tried to reach for the glass of water but I ended up falling down and my chest started to feel tight. Before I could fully close my eyes, I saw Jax run towards me and hold me with his arms. He lifted me up and when I felt the bed in my back, that's when I passed out. ***** I felt something in my cheeks that made me awake. “Yesha, you wake her up.” I heard while my eyes were still closed. “I didn't mom, look she's still sleeping beautifully.” the young girl said in a cute voice. I don't know if I should wake up already or not. But I sense that the Alpha’s family is just around the corner. I felt shy if they were really here inside the room. I feel that someone is beside me. “I know you're awake, it's fine they're not gonna eat you.” someone whispered and I know it's Jax the alpha. how did he know that I'm awake?! Are his senses that powerful?! We have different senses, maybe he has everything while us or should we call an ordinary werewolf only have 1 or 2 senses. And it depends if your parents have powerful genes, which you will possibly inherit their power and such. While me, I think I have what my father has. But still, I need to discover myself more. I moved to where he whispered while my eyes were still close, that made him accidentally kiss my forehead. Yesha who noticed giggling from what she witnessed. I slowly opened my mouth and looked at him then mouthed I'm sorry. He just smiled and patted my head. I sat down from the bed while Jax supported me from behind. I roam my eyes around the corner of the room. “Such a beautiful fine lady. How are you?” An old woman asked, I think she is his mom, maybe she's in her 40’s. She's beautiful despite her age. “I feel good ma'am.” I said with respect. I still know my boundaries, I'm just a slave, I should stay at my line. “I'm sorry, I didn't know that you are allergic to peanuts. And Jax didn't know about it either.” His mom said with an apologetic face. I myself didn't even know it either. I wasn't aware that I have allergies. Though it was my first time eating peanuts, that's why. “It's fine ma'am, I wasn't also aware that I am allergic to peanuts. And I'm sorry for the inconvenience.” I said with worries in my eyes and look down because I felt embarrassed. “It's okay hija, we understand. And we should also take responsibility because I am the one who made the food you eat a while ago. Good thing we're still here when Jax suddenly run towards your room and he said that you past out.” his mom explains. I was a bit shocked because of the part where Jax senses what just happened to me. It explains when he harshly opened the door and was running towards me. “I gave you an antidote for allergies which is why the redness on your skin is almost gone.” her sister said. “Thank you.” I said and she smiled and nodded at me. “Hey beauty, are you good now?” the young girl asked me. Jax’s mom and sister laugh at how she asks me. “Can we play next time I come here? I held her cheeks and nodded at her. She giggles while her eyes are sparkling. She's cute and beautiful just like her mom. They said goodbye already since they still have something to do. And I thank them once again for their kindness and taking care of me. They even waited for me to wake up just to make sure I'm okay. The alpha and I are now left here inside the room. He caresses my cheeks and fixes my hair. "I'm sorry I didn't know that you are allergic to it." he said worriedly. "I also don't know that I am allergic to peanut Alpha, so it's fine it's no one's fault." I assured him about that. “From now on, peanuts are not allowed here in the house. And I will tell my mens to check every item that will be delivered here. So that peanut can't harm you again.” he said in a low soothing voice. “No, it's okay to still have peanuts here. I will just avoid eating some foods that have peanuts.” I insisted. Since I am the only one that is allergic to it. So I will just be careful next time. “Stop it Aurora if you just saw yourself struggling earlier. You will understand me.” I bow down my head because of the guilt I feel. I felt like I had become a responsibility to him. “I'm sorry Alpha, I will be more careful next time to avoid being a burden to you. I'm just a slave, I'm not your responsibility to care for.” I am very embarrassed in front of him. I can't even look into his eyes while saying those words. “I didn't even formally meet your parents and sister. and I wasn't able to formally introduce myself to them. They just met me in this kind of situation which is not formal. What a bad meeting of the alpha’s family.” I said worriedly and finally had the guts to look in his eye while muttering those words to him. “It's fine Aurora, they can always come here and you can formally introduce yourself next time. Don't worry that much hmm.” he said with so much comfort. “Thank you so much, Alpha.” I said with sincerity in my eyes. “Stop calling me Alpha, I already told you to call me by my name. Do you want me to do that again for you to call my name instead?” he said and I felt my cheeks getting red because of what he just said.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
Aurora's pov:"Aurora! Where are you?!" I was startled when I heard the voice of Amelia. But then, I wash my hands immediately because I'm full of stains from the pots that I'm cleaning. I heard the door open with a sign of her entering the house. "I'm over here!" I shouted because I am at the ground floor where I usually cleanse all the pots in the house. I dried my hands using my apron and didn't mind my messy hair, blocking the side of my face. "Oh my god, Aurora! Why do you look so messy?!" she stated in disbelief and her eyes in worry. I look away and get my hair tie, to tie my hair in a high ponytail. “What are you doing here?” I ask as I continue to tie my hair.She didn't look at me, instead she wandered her eyes to where we are right now. “This place is a mess, why are you cleaning here? Why not upstairs?” she asked.I ignore her question and repeat my question to her instead. “What are you doing here?” She looks at me from head to toe and shakes her head after she noti
