AURORA

I was deep in sleep when something jolted me awake. My eyes fluttered open, and I felt an odd chill, the kind that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Blinking, I scanned the room, my vision adjusting to the dim light, and that’s when I noticed it. The window was open, allowing a soft breeze to drift in.

I knew I hadn’t left it open, so who had opened it? I thought maybe it was the breeze, since I did not hear anyone come into the room. I swung my legs over the bed, feeling the cold floor beneath my feet as I walked over to close it. As I moved, my mind drifted back to the pain that I was sleeping to forget. I wished that I did not even wake up right now and had slept more. I needed this out of my system.

The cool air and the loneliness in this room all felt like a reminder of the distance between us. The harsh words he had uttered to me still lingered, making my heart ache. As I reached for the window, the hairs on my neck prickled again. I turned, my breath catchi

    ETHAN I sat alone in my room, staring down at the dark stain of blood on my clothes. The events of the past few days had left me exhilarated. But I had too much fun apparently that I totally forgot to clean it up. I was glad that Aurora had been the one to see me with it. It would be easy to shut her down. If it was the rest of my family, I would have to go through the route I did not like going through. As I sat down on my bed, my thoughts drifted back to Aurora.I did not like how I had left things. I mean I believe a part of me cared about her, so I did not want to see her hurt like that. I hadn’t meant to push her away earlier, especially when she’d just wanted to check on me. I’d seen the worry in her eyes, the quiet concern that made her reach out when I clearly wasn’t welcoming it. Part of me wanted to allow her to stay back. But then, I’d forced myself to remember. This was just a contract. I was here to secure an heir, to fulfill my duties as Alpha, not to make promises or

    AURORA When I woke up, sunlight was streaming through the curtains, warming my face. I groaned, burying myself under the blanket, but there was no hiding from the day ahead. Everything that had happened—the fight with Ethan, Damian sneaking into my room—was still sitting in the pit of my stomach like a bad meal.I couldn’t keep going like this, feeling like I was just reacting to everything around me. No. Today, I was taking back control.Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I stretched, pushing away the remnants of sleep. I didn’t care if Ethan was in one of his brooding moods again. I was going to talk to him. Really talk. If he had secrets, I’d find them out. If he wanted to keep brushing me off, fine—but I wasn’t going to let him shut me out without a fight.After a quick shower, I pulled on my favorite jeans and a soft sweater. It wasn’t fancy, but it felt like me. As I brushed my hair, I stared at myself in the mirror, giving myself a pep talk.“You’ve faced worse than a

    AURORA Weeks had passed since the chaos at the palace had become routine for me. It was so incredibly lonely. Ethan had been distant, his mood swings were very unpredictable, but I had kept to myself, hoping to avoid him getting angry with me. Even as I tried to keep my distance with him, I found myself still caring. I hated that I was such a caring person. But today, I had to leave all of that because I was going to be busy. Today was different. I barely even have a few more thoughts about him. As I sat in the hospital room, I could feel my heavy chest filled emotions pressed heavily in me. My fingers drummed nervously on the armrest of the chair, and my gaze darted to the door every few seconds. I was so excited to see what I would have. On a normal day, I knew I should be here with the father of the child. Ethan should be here holding my hand but has been too busy for me. I knew if I could get a hold of him he would come. He wanted the child anyway. But he just didn’t like be

    AURORA The past two days had been a rollercoaster of emotions. I couldn’t shake the doctor’s words from my mind. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. The words still echoed in my head every time I tried to breathe.But what haunted me even more was the thought of telling Ethan.Lately, he wasn’t the man I’d married—not that I’d ever truly known him. He’d been distant, secretive, and cold. It was also like he wasn’t the same alpha who had once rescued me from Damian. The bloodstains I kept seeing, the secret late night meetings he refused to explain, the sharpness in his voice when he spoke to others. It all felt like pieces of a puzzle I couldn’t put together.And now, this.I spent those two days pacing in my room, overthinking every word, every way this conversation could go. Would he be angry? Dismissive? Supportive? I had no idea. But I couldn’t avoid it forever.Finally, on the third day, I decided it was time.I chose my clothes carefully. I chose something that was sim

    AURORA Three figures, pale and sharp-eyed, stood over me. Before I could even move, they lunged at me. Their teeth sank into my skin, draining me until my body hit the ground. I couldn’t scream, couldn’t fight back. Everything went black.I shot up in bed, gasping. My hand flew to my neck where the bites had been in the dream, but there was nothing there. Just the necklace, warm against my skin.“What…?” I whispered, my heart pounding.The room felt wrong, like something had shifted in the air. I touched the necklace. It was pulsing, like it had its own heartbeat. It wasn’t the first time it had acted strange and given me visions, but this was worse. I had never seen myself actually dead. My body was shaking as I tried to shake it off, but the vision stuck with me. The fear, the weakness. The feeling that someone or something wanted me gone. What kind of creature was that? Was it true that they were eventually coming for me? If that was it, then I needed to find a way to protect my

    AURORA It has been a week and each passing day felt like another burden for me to bear. It was so hard for me. Ethan hadn’t stopped apologizing. Flowers, meals, little note and all. Unfortunately he was trying to fix what couldn’t be undone.He looked at me with guilt and hope in his eyes, but I couldn’t bring myself to give him the forgiveness he so clearly wanted. I needed to leave. He tried to bring up the contract to me, but all I said was fuck him and the contract. If I didn’t stay back and have the ‘healthy’ baby he wanted, then he should throw me in his prison. The thought of leaving had been circling in my head for days, growing stronger with every hour. But before I could plan my escape, there was something else I needed to handle.I needed to take care of the pregnancy, and I also needed to find a place to live that will be safe for me. Against the beasts I dreamt of, if it was even going to happen at all. I wondered if it was a bad idea to leave the safety of a palace to

    DAMIAN The office felt hot. I had been deep in this all day that I could feel a headache building at the back of my head. Alex’s name stared back at me from the top of the page. I had to investigate him, to get the dirt he had on him so I can finally get her back for him. As deep as I went, I realized that Alex wasn’t just trouble. He was dangerous. I’d spent weeks digging into his shady deals, and the deeper I went, the worse it got. He had too much power, too much influence. I slammed the file shut, letting out a frustrated sigh. There was no one I could trust to continue doing this for me. Wyatt was loyal, sure, but even he couldn’t look into this mess the way I could because he was clueless about tech. And my brothers? Forget it. Levi and Maddox were nothing but leeches, waiting for the right moment to swoop in and steal what wasn’t theirs.A sharp knock on the door broke my thoughts.“What?” I snapped, already irritated.Wyatt stepped in, looking uneasy. “They’re here.”“Who?”

    Aurora I was panicking. The entire night I spent pacing back and forth, replaying everything that had happened between Alina and me. The way her eyes had looked so hurt when I didn’t defend her, the way she stormed out with her mother—angry and disappointed. And now, she hadn’t come back. I gave her the night, thinking maybe she just needed some space, but when she didn’t return the next morning, panic surged through me. What did I even expect sending her out? Of course she wouldn’t be back trying to beg me to come back in the palace. That wasn’t the type of person she was. And it was all my damn fault. I couldn’t focus on anything else. I had a meeting scheduled with the new elders I appointed at the Black Water Pack, but my mind was elsewhere—on her. Even as I sluggishly got ready, everything felt out of sync. When I finally made my way into the meeting room, I could tell everyone was already waiting, but I couldn’t muster the energy to care. My thoughts were consumed by Alina.

    AURORA It was raining. It never rains around here. I heard people whispering about it, saying that the earth knew that someone had just taken a great man, which was why it was weeping. I would not be surprised if they were right, even though I was not the type that believed in superstition. Today was the burial of Damian. I had cried so much for the past three days that I could not even recognize myself when I looked into the mirror. It was like a stranger was looking back at me every single time, and it terrified me to my bones. Damian’s body had been prepared as usual by the elders, and he was about to be cremated in the boat and sent in the ocean, so he could find peace. It was how burials happened apparently, since I have never really been to one. The last time I lost someone, I was not allowed to stay back for either of their funerals. I was shipped off to marry this man. The man that I was cremating now, and sending back to the earth that had brought him to life. I won

    AURORA I wished there was a way to leave the fucking pack. Finally, Nancy had gotten me some blood even though it was not one that I would like to drink. It was animal blood, and it tasted low quality but at least it kept me alive. I felt like I had not unlocked all of the potential that I had until I was able to feed on normal blood from a person. I was looking forward to that. I had stayed with my brother mainly because I did not want him to feel alone after all of the months he spent alone. Counting down, it has already been a year since he was captured. Just a few more months to come. I also wanted to ask Damian why the hell hadn’t he brought back Silas to life until I realized that the day had passed. I was in the prison, and I had missed my only chance of getting back my true love. I cried for the entire day, and Logan and Nancy tried to comfort me but there was very little they could say. I couldn’t even say it was Damian’s fault. I was the one that made him do whatever he

    DAMIAN I tried to get back into schedule after I waited three hours for Aurora to come and meet me but she did not. I had wanted to go and check if she was alright but that did not sound like a great idea. If she needed space, then perhaps I should grant her that. If she wanted to speak to me, then she would come and meet me. I paced in my room until I couldn’t anymore, so I headed to my bathroom and got ready for the day. I popped some of the hangover pills I had to help with the headache that was still prominent. Then I checked my reflection before I headed outside to my office where I was going to sign some documents for the new houses that are been built in the pack. When Alpha Matthew eventually surrenders, I would like to start building on the land so I was already starting to prepare it now. The birth rate had increased by some percentage, and in a few years to come there would be a shortage of homes people could afford. We needed something on a budget but also good qual

    AURORA “Have you seen him?” Nancy burst through my room, startling me until I sat down, leaving my previously lying position. She looked excited, which was odd because there was absolutely nothing to be excited about. My life was in shambles and I was in desperate need to feed. She could not find any place to get blood for me because all of the blood banks in the hospitals around had vervain in them. It seemed like it was not only Damian who took the caution to have all of the subjects take vervain to prevent them from being food to vampires. I wished I could tell him but after what he had done yesterday, I could not bring myself to do it again. Not when the incident of yesterday still haunted me. He obviously did not take me with respect. If not, he wouldn’t have done that. “Who?” I asked her. The first person that came to mind was Damian . Perhaps something had happened to him. “Logan. He is out!” I did not expect to hear that early in the morning. I got off my bed an

    DAMIAN I was disappointed in myself. I did not know that I had fucked up so much until when I woke up in the morning on my bed and my head felt like it was spitting into two. I was severely hungover from the other night. The only thing I remembered at first was that I was with Kai and we were celebrating the fact that Aurora knew that I was her mate. I was not sure of it, but I knew that there were high chances of that since I had gotten my own mate bond just a few days ago. I was so excited. The celebration morphed into a party, and then when I realized I was too drunk, Kai told me to stay back until tomorrow because it was a bad idea to go to her room and speak to her in that state. I had agreed with him but as the night passed and he was asleep, my urges got the better of me and then I was on my way to her room. I remembered going there and I remembered kissing her, and she pushed me away. Now that I was sober, my ego felt even more injured than it was but I still felt so fuck

    AURORA I had a hard time writing the letter because I was not sure of what he wanted to hear. I did not know if he brought me out on his own accord or because he needed me for something regarding bringing his lost girlfriend back home. Because as time passed, since the two days that I was released, he had not come to see me. It was on the second day that I finally decided to send out of the letter to him. If he released me because he still believed that we were friends, then he was going to come and see me. If not, then it is what it is. I would just forget I ever wrote the letter and bury myself out of shame. Moments after I had sent the letter a few hours ago, I had started to pace in my room out of anxiety when Nancy came back into the room. I gave her a questioning look because it couldn’t have taken her this short period of time to have taken it to the alpha and yet here she was, already back. “Why are you already back?” I asked her. “One of his sisters collected it,”

    DAMIAN I had very little time to decide if I wanted her to be in my pack or if I wanted her to take her away. The anti vampire committee had been trying to get someone who would be their sample, but I did not know if I would be able to just give her away because I was selfish. It was something I was not ashamed of admitting. I didn’t want to be away from my mate. She was the closest we could get to getting the work done but I couldn’t do it. Whenever I thought of giving her away, something stopped me from doing it. I had not told Kai yet because I knew what he was going to say. He did not like Aurora that much so of course he was going to tell me to let her go. She was my mate, and this was her secret so I had to protect it. I was going to do everything to make her feel better. It has been two days since I instructed that she was let out of the cage and I have been doing everything in my power to go and meet her because I did not know how the conversation was going to go. Of c

    AURORA It almost felt unrealistic as I felt the cold air of the night hit my skin. I have been so starved of this and wanted to experience it again for the entire time that I was in the cell. I hoped that Logan was going to feel that way soon too. The cold, iron bars of the dungeon door clanged shut behind me, it marked the end of a nightmarish chapter. The moon bathed the streets in its ethereal glow as I stepped into the night, my senses acutely aware of every rustle and heartbeat around me. The guards that were holding on to me had let me go and I was free to roam. My legs hurt from being trapped in one place for so long and it took me a while to stop myself from limping as I headed towards the palace. I wished there was somewhere else that I could be, but I didn’t really have a choice. The palace was the only place I could go to. On my way back, I stumbled on so many random things on the way. I hissed. If Damian wanted me to be out then at least he should have sent so

    AURORA I sat there in silence, hearing what my brother was telling me about my identity that I had not found out for a long time. I could not believe what I was hearing. It was all adding up, with every word he spoke. It made sense why my parents never really liked me in the first place. I was not their daughter. I was adopted into the family when their real daughter had died, and I was replaced by her. Only the immediate family knew, and it had been kept a secret all till today. I was surprised, but it was fleeting because it all made sense to me. He said that I was a hybrid, which meant that I was a werewolf and a vampire in one body. When I had died at the Elantine’s palace, that was when my vampire side was activated. I had technically been dead since then. My heart was not beating and I would not shift on the full moon because I had the power to do that now. Not even an alpha had the same potential as I did. He was stronger than me, but I could beat him in a combat because o
