AURORA

I sat in my office, staring blankly at the papers scattered across my desk. The anger in my chest was still simmering, but it wasn’t as explosive as it had been earlier. I knew I’d crossed the line. That much was clear. I should not have done that. I would never hurt a woman that way. Thankfully, she was just exhausted that was why she collapsed not because I caused some damage to her. I hated that I did that to her.

The door burst open, and I looked up to see Kiara storming in, followed closely by Sarah. Both of them looked furious, their footsteps echoing loudly in the room. I knew I was about to be chastised, and I did not want to be. I was tired and already felt guilty enough.

“What the hell were you thinking?” Kiara snapped, slamming her hands down on my desk.

I leaned back in my chair, letting out a long sigh. “Kiara, not now.”

“No, now, Ethan,” Sarah chimed in, her voice sharp. “What you did was unacceptable. Do you even realize how bad it was? Do you care?”

    AURORAI stood at the window, my fingers trembling as I clutched the towel tightly around me. Outside, shards of my burner phone glinted on the grass below, the broken a perfect reflection of how I felt inside. Ethan hadn’t hit me. At least not yet, but the look in his eyes had been terrifying. I could not help but think back at what he did to my mother, and what he could do to me. I wondered at that moment how easy it would be for him to kill me and nothing was going to happen. No one could face him, and no one could hurt him. He had stationed himself at a very high place that he was untouchable. It was then I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t stay here. Not anymore.Grabbing my personal phone, I slipped into the bathroom and locked the door. The cold tiles beneath my feet made me shiver, but it was nothing compared to the chill in my chest. I wondered who to call. Who was going to help me, because for all I knew Ethan was downstairs preparing for ways he was going to hurt me.

    DAMIAN I was pacing the length of my office, my mind filled with chaotic thoughts. Every time I thought of Aurora and of what Ethan had done, of her being trapped in that palace, I felt like my blood was boiling. I needed to get her out of there. I had to. But every option I considered led to dead ends. I could not ask my people to go to war for this. There was too much at stakes. I needed to do this the smart way, but it was like whatever smart way I thought of had too many loopholes. I might actually be stuck. I clenched my fists, trying to shake the helplessness that weighed on me. I hated this feeling. I wanted to act, to fight, to destroy anything standing between me and her, but I couldn’t risk charging in blindly. Not with Ethan being as dangerous as he was. A soft knock broke through my thoughts.“Come in,” I called, trying to sound composed even as my nerves were all over the place.The door opened, and Evelyn strode in, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her pr

    AURORA The dream came again. It was so vivid and suffocating. I was lying on the cold ground, unable to move, as three vampires hovered over me. Their fangs were exposed, red and shiny right above me and there was nothing I could do. Their snarls filled my ears. I tried to scream, to push them away, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. The first bite came, sharp and deep, and then the second, each one draining me faster than I could comprehend.I bolted upright in bed, my chest heaving as if I’d just run a marathon. Sweat clung to my skin, my heart hammering in my chest. For a moment, I gripped the sheets tightly, grounding myself in reality. I looked around, trying to see anything I could fixate on that would calm my racing heart. “It’s just a dream,” I whispered to the empty room.But it didn’t feel like one. I could feel the weight of the necklace pressed against my collarbone, still warm. It was still giving me these darn glimpses of the future and even though it terrified me knowing

    ETHANThe anger coursing through me felt like fire. Aurora had crossed yet another line by walking out after I explicitly told her she couldn’t leave. She didn’t understand boundaries, and it made my blood boil in ways no one made it boil. And worse of it all, I could not do anything about it. If it was someone else in her shoes, I would have long drained them and called it a day because no one annoyed me like that and went free. But this was Aurora.I clenched my fists, pacing my office as I tried to rein in my temper. I wanted to punish her, and make her realize the consequences of disobedience. But I couldn’t risk acting on impulse. Not yet. Aurora wasn’t just a rebellious thorn in my side, she was a key to something bigger. Something I couldn’t yet understand.After I was done with breakfast, I finally received the message I’d been waiting for. The witch I’d been trying to contact for years had agreed to meet. She arrived under heavy disguise, her hooded cloak casting shadows over

    AURORAI stared down at the pendant I had brought in frustration, then at the spell book spread open in front of me. The protection spell I’d been trying to cast all day refused to work, no matter how carefully I followed the instructions. It was like there was something missing. The electricity in the air that I had felt when I first came was gone, and now it just felt bland. Like I was reading random words from a book. “Focus,” I muttered under my breath, gripping the small pendant tightly. The words from the book swirled in my head as I tried again.The pendant remained lifeless, stubbornly resisting my efforts. By the time the sun began to set, I was exhausted and defeated. Maybe it was because I was new at this, or maybe I was just terrible at it, but the spell wasn’t happening today. I needed some rest, and then maybe I would call my father to help me with some tips on how to concentrate. With a sigh, I packed up my things, carefully tucking the book back into my satchel. “Tom

    AURORAWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the ceiling. It wasn’t mine. Even though I had changed rooms, it was still not the same layout as the one I had now. My stomach dropped. I sat up quickly, the ache in my body forgotten as I took in the familiar surroundings. I took in the luscious furniture, and then I came to the realization of where I was quickly. Ethan’s room.What the hell was I doing here?I racked my brain for answers, but everything was hazy. The last thing I could recall was coming back home after the library. How had I ended up in his room? Lifting my legs off the bed, I stood, my knees wobbling slightly. My heart raced as I scanned the room for my satchel. I checked under the bed, the closet, and every corner, but it was nowhere to be found.Panic surged through me. My spell book was in that satchel, along with my pendant. If Ethan had taken it… Did he know that I was a witch now? I wondered if he was somewhere planning my destruction. A shiver ran up my

    DAMIAN I stared down at Aurora’s limp body, her breathing steady but faint. Her pale face looked peaceful, almost serene, but the truth behind her stillness made my chest tighten.Carefully, I bent down and scooped her into my arms. She felt lighter than I expected, fragile even. For a moment, a flicker of hesitation passed through me, but I buried it quickly.This wasn’t about her. This was about me.Once we were in my room, I laid her on the bed, adjusting the pillows beneath her head. The witch was arriving soon, and everything needed to be in place.As I turned to grab a chair, my eyes landed on her satchel. It sat there innocently, draped over her shoulder.Curiosity gnawed at me, and before I could stop myself, I reached for it.What could she possibly need to carry everywhere?I opened the bag, and my hand froze when I pulled out a thick, leather-bound book. My pulse quickened as I flipped it open, my eyes scanning the symbols and spells scrawled across the pages.A spell book

    AURORA I woke up slowly, the heavy fog in my head lifting like a curtain. My eyes blinked against the dim light, and as my vision cleared, I realized I wasn’t in my room.Panic prickled at the edges of my mind. I sat up, my heart thumping loudly in my chest as I took in the unfamiliar surroundings. Ethan’s room.Why was I here?The last thing I remembered was coming home after spending the day at the library. I had been careful, threading my way past everyone, yet here I was.I swung my legs over the side of the bed, a sense of unease wrapping around me. My satchel. My spell book. My pendant. Where were they?I tore through the room, checking under the bed, inside the drawers, and even behind the heavy curtains, but there was no sign of my belongings.A chill ran down my spine. Had Ethan taken them?I slipped out of his room, careful to avoid anyone in the hallways. When I reached my own room, I locked the door and grabbed my phone. My hands shook as I dialed Anton’s number.“Pick up

    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

  • THE LYCAN ALPHA’S CONTRACT LUNA    Chapter 79

    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
