《 Aurora's pov 》
"Alpha Xavier pleas-
My own shocked cry cut me off my words. My lips part and my eyes get sucked into the amber pools of darkening lust as Alpha Xavier's fingers cup my pussy.
"Name." He demanded, his amber eyes dropping to stare at my opened mouth and a deep growl from his throat had me shaking, but not in a terrifying way.
"Wha-t?" I stammered, my tongue heavy as Alpha Xavier forced my thighs to part to allow his fingers more space.
"Your name. What is your name?" He groaned, pressing his fingers into my throbbing flesh.
I gasp, pushing my back on the wall as if it would help me. "Aur-ora Alpha. My name is Aurora."
I looked between his darkening amber eyes that reminded me of the whiskey Alpha Raphael had in his pack study. He would indulge in the alcohol as if it would magically fix his problems.
I always hated the smell and the sight of it because I always had to be the one cleanin
《 Aurora's pov 》"Do you always have to be a stick in the mud brother?" Lily whined, sighing as she got off the bed and padded over to her brother.Before going out the door she turns around and winks. "See you around Aurora. And don't let this brute scare you, he's just pissy because he hasn't drank his milk yet." She stuck out her thumb towards him in amusement. She was clearly working him up, and I was certain it was a routine with the two."Lily." Alpha Xavier growled lowly with a warning that would have wolves normally tuck their tails between their legs. Lily on the other hand just giggled and walked out of the room.After her departure, the irritated Alpha locked the door. With his actions setting a new alarm in my head, I rise up from the bed, staggering slightly to my feet as I tighten my hold on the towel that blocked my naked body. It was useless because he had already seen everything."Al-pha Xa-vier," I stammered, not abl
《 Aurora's pov 》 Why am I here? I didn't know the answer to that as well. I thought I was going the right path to avoid stumbling on his pack. Only to end up in his captive. The thumb probing my center, slowly as if almost reluctantly slips out of my entrance and his touch is no longer on me. I find my body yearning for more of it even though my mind was setting alarms to stay away from that dangerous wolf. "You're innocent," He hums and I could hear the sound of sucking. Taking the chance to peek at him behind me, I redden in embarrassment when I noticed he was sucking the thumb that just moments ago came out of me. " If you were one of a vampire lord's concubine then you would surely not have been innocent. " He notes with his deep gaze set on the spot between my thighs. I clench them in hopes of stopping the intense throbbing. I wasn't sure how to stop it since this has never happened to me b
: Xavier's pov :Had the moon goddess lost her damn mind by pairing me with a strange being?Her features, they were rare. Very rare.Never had I seen eyes like hers, or ears like hers. The hair could've been dyed, but something told me it wasn't.She was pretty. I'll admit that. Beautiful even.But what exactly was she?Aurora.I tasted her name again, my tongue still had the essence of her sweet innocence. She was my mate. My wolf howled it in my head the moment our eyes met outside.But she wasn't one of us.Being mated to another creature other than a werewolf was unheard of. I am an Alpha male, my Luna is supposed to be a powerful werewolf. The girl in the room with strange yet beautiful eyes is not of werewolf genes.How can she be mated to me?Was this some sick joke?Did some witch send her here to fuck with my head and let down my defenses?Fuck she had no mark of a witc
《 Aurora's pov 》 I needed to get out of here. The thought emerges into my mind as I look at the blood still dancing in the puddles. It sent a shiver through me. I can't believe I let that beast touch me so inappropriately and didn't put up much of a fight. In fact, I loved it so much, my mind had been flooded with nasty images of him. I promised next time, I wouldn't play into his hands again. Whatever sick joke he was playing with me, I'd fight it. And fight that stupid burning urge to have him inside me. Oh who am I kidding? I can't go against an Alpha. I'd be killed in a matter of seconds. I peeled away from the window when the door opens again. I could already feel his eyes on me and my nipples bud as they turned sensitive against the cotton crop top. Lily was actually my size and the top fit me perfectly. The only problem was that I had no bra. "If you're thinking about escaping out through the windo
《 Aurora's pov 》 " Why aren't you eating Aurora?" His voice made me stiffen but I refuse to turn to face him, keeping my gaze on the darkening sky. Hours sitting on that bed and not moving a muscle made my waist ache. But I refuse to move. Two female wolves came to drop off plates filled with different delicious looking meals. I refuse to take them, not able to stomach the thought of eating anything from my captor. To hell with him. He should just kill me now and be done with it. I was done being treated as a captive. His boots clanking down on the floors made me gulp softly. I counted them. Five steps until he reaches me. He must've taken long strides. I drew in some air when his big hand clamps down on my shoulder. Tingles so powerful from his touch made me squirm. I hated feeling so weak to his touch. My body was turning from stiff to soft. This wasn't what I wanted. "You haven't eaten an entir
《 Aurora's pov 》As I ate the last piece of bread, I stared at Xavier with a look of embarrassment. He had not once stopped feeding me, which made me feel like an immobile child.He goes to grab another plate off the tray and I reach out quickly. My fingers wrap around his arm and I almost jerked away from the powerful race of tingles."I can feed myself, Alpha," I murmured softly, my eyes falling on the arm I held.I drop his arm quickly, after realizing my mistake. What the hell came over me to think I was allowed in any way to touch an Alpha without his consent?I squirm, wincing when
《 Aurora's pov 》"Hi," The red haired girl from last night mumbles out awkwardly as she enters the room and spots me on the bed.I was awake already. In fact. I hadn't slept properly. It wasn't because of the rope around my wrists. Alpha Xavier hadn't made it tight and uncomfortable.It was just that, my mind was clogged up with restless thoughts of the intimidating Alpha. One moment he was seeming to be sweet, totally opposite of the rumors. But then he'd show me the untrustworthy beast he truly was.But even his beast side, I was sadly fawning over.The girl hadn't done anything to me, so I answered. "Hi,"Well, this is awkward.The girl looked shy as she walks over to me, almost cautiously. "Alpha Xavier said to free you-Was he going to let me go freely?A smile nearly lit my face before it vanishes. Why did I not like the fact that I was leaving him?"From your binds." She finishes, her thin fin
《 Aurora's pov 》I jolted when the door is suddenly opened. It knocks on the opposite wall. Poor door had been through a lot since I've come here.I placed the buttered biscuit back on the tray and looked at Alpha Xavier with widening eyes. His eyes were red and his canines were peeking out. My eyes fall to his hands. The nails. They were ready to tear through flesh.His wolf had taken over. Or was about to.The tray falls off my lap, the plates shattering as I crawled to the furthest corner of the bed. He came here to finally kill me. To get rid of me.Alpha Xavier growls in warning, as if not pleased about my frightened state. He slams the door close, locking it. I shivered with fear.Why did he come to kill me now? Had he found out about my secret? Did someone stumble on the flower and knew it was me?I flinch every time his boots slammed on the floor as he nears me. He snarls when he reaches the bed."Please,"
《Aurora's pov》 "Push Luna." The female doctor encouraged. "Ahh!" I screamed loudly that it bounced off the walls in the room and danced outside. I held onto my knees, lifting myself up a little and pushed. My chest rose and fell, my heart beating incredibly fast. My hair stuck to my sweaty face and the gown I wore was plastered to my sweaty body. Xavier had one knee on the bed the other on the floor, and one of his arms holding my back while the other removed the tresses off my face. "You got this my love. If anyone can do it, it will be you." He whispered in my ear, kissing my cheek despite me being so sweaty. "Come on Luna. Push!" The female doctor encouraged louder while the other nurses around her made a shout of encouragement. "One." I breathed put through my lips as Xavier rubbed my back. "Two." "Three." I pushed harder, silently begging our baby to hurry up and come out. The pain was unbearable and the doctor informed me that as soon as the child is out, it was common
《Aurora's pov 》"Let's get out of here now." I urged when I reach beside Cass and Serena.Cass nods in agreement and so does Serena.I had just made the entire Crystal River pack rogues. They had no Alpha, no leader and Raphael had no heir.I was sure Raphael wanted the alpha title to be in his bloodline, which is why he would've forced me to carry his seed. So there's no way he would've passed it down to his Beta and Gamma.Now their ranks would no longer matter since they are now also rogues."I can shift," Cassandra suggested, looking at Serena.I looked at Cass worriedly. "Are you sure you can handle it?" I asked in concern while I shift my gaze to the wolves who were still there. They looked lost, not knowing what to do or where to go from here.I also had them still trapped, not wanting them to attack when we least expected it.Because even though they weren't trying to escape the captivity of the roots and branches, I still did not trust them. They were, after all, the same wol
《Aurora's pov》"Come on we don't have much time!" I rushed out as I hear the snarls of the wolves. They were fighting back.I looked around frantically, unsure of which route to take. I can't go back upstairs and I wasn't sure there weren't others waiting for us the other way out of this nasty place. Cass stepped over the little protruding of the steel left and runs over to me, she pulls me in a hug. " I'm so glad he hadn't done anything to you Rora." I bit my tongue, not wanting to tell her that he did actually break my wrist, and prayed that she wouldn't notice the ugly discoloring that was slowly starting to paint the skin of my wrist. She pulls away and stares at my face, her eyes roaming everywhere in worry. "That's not your blood is it?" Her tone was filled with concern, something that did not surprise me one bit.I shook my head no. "It's not," I whispered shakily knowing the woman's eyes would haunt me for the rest of my life. I had taken her life and had not cared in the m
: Xavier's pov :I stormed out of the pack house, my body trembling with unleashed anger. Reckon was furious, livid in fact. He wanted his mate back in our arms. We were ready for war. But as I scan my eyes over the fighters of my pack, I am aware that some did not seem to want to fight at all. Which was worrisome. For them, not me. "Why is no one in their positions and ready to take off!?" I snarled through the air. "Have the Crimson Moon warriors gone weak?" I sneered when no one answered just looked away. A boy, not older than twenty looked at me and thought it was a good idea to speak. "We think it's a stupid idea to go against Raphael right now, especially when he has the wolfsbane. And now that he has the Luna. He can make more- "Are you saying you'd much rather leave your Luna to die!?" I snarled taking a menacing step forward. He needs to choose his words carefully. I may not be as patient as I portray. The boy squirms and bends his head. "No, of course not." It's quiet
《 Aurora's pov》I kept my gaze plastered to the floor as the male wolf led me through the packhouse. I can hear snickers and my gut wrenches as I remember what I had endured by these wolves hands.They were cruel and I should not expect anything less."Such an imbecile for thinking she can escape alpha Raphael. Dumb bitch."The voice belonged to Alice, after years of tormenting, and my brain now can detect her voice instantly.I can hear the others laugh at my expense but I still kept my gaze down. It would be best to ignore them and not waste my time by staring at their faces."What is that stench?" Alice asked with disgust in her voice.The male wolf's hand around my arm is brutal and I was sure if he added the slightest of pressure he'll manage to break my arm.He leads me up the staircase just behind the struggling vampire who was also held by a buff cruel looking male wolf. His face was familiar but I couldn't put a name to the face."Let go of me you nasty leech!" The vampire wo
《Aurora's pov》I pulled away from Cass completely to stare at the female vampire. I looked at her confused.The way she spat out my name was as though we were well acquainted and that I had done her something extremely terrible.I did not know the woman. And have never seen her before.She was not at all familiar but she seem to give away that she knew my mother.And by the nasty glare coming from her eyes to burn through me, I knew that she hadn't quite liked my mother as well."How do you know my mother?" I whispered in intrigue.This was the first time someone have ever mentioned my mother. Because no one knew her. No one knew what she was.But this woman, I can tell by the gleam in her eyes, she knew her. She knew me. And she knew what we were. Perhaps what we can do as well.A smirk so cruel and disdainful appears on her lips. "You're a curious little thing aren't you? ""But to answer your question, I was a dear friend of your mother's. We were practically besties as they call i
- Raphael's pov - The door opens slowly and Beta Gavin pokes his head in with a nod. Good she's managed to get her. Smirking in satisfaction, I laughed. " You're getting bold for a guy whose mate is no longer under his protection." I can just smell the fear coming off of him through the phone. A man without his mate wasn't strong. An Alpha without his Luna, was the weakest of them all. I hope he feels the exact same way I felt years ago when he murdered my first Luna. Revenge, feels so God damn sweet. "More wolfsbane for me!" I sang and ended the call before he could respond. I was superior, I was fucking superior. No one can stand in my way now. I would be the strongest alpha alive and with her, no one will even think of trying to go to war with me. No one. Not even the so-called fearless leader of the crimson moon pack. The sound of a sob coming from the corner of the room had me rolling my eyes in irritation. She was a weak Luna and if her death would not have me weaken
《 Aurora's pov 》"I must go now love," Xavier says as he reluctantly peels away from me and walks over to the closet to pull out some clothes."Where are you going?" I whispered, dreading that he was parting ways with me even though I knew he was much needed now more than ever."We can no longer wait and have them attack us. I must start training the pack now. We don't have a few days to get ready, we only have hours." Xavier grumbles as if his gut was telling him that the council was well on their way.I will not lie, the tone of his voice made me nervous and if I was being honest, I was also feeling fear.A few hours, that was too little time.It wasn't enough time at all. Another reason to doubt that we would be ready when they do strike. I'm about to voice out my concerns but Xavier suddenly stops midway through putting on his sweatpants.He turns around and I instantly notice the fogginess in his eyes. He was being mind linked or he was mind linking someone. Either way, he seeme
《Aurora's pov 》"I've managed to close up the wound. We now have to leave it to his wolf to heal him and if we're lucky he'll be good in a few hours. " Rodrick sighs and I can literally feel the relief washing out of him and tangling in the air.My heart felt lighter upon hearing his words. Our Beta will survive, this was great news. The best news.Rodrick's hand is stained with blood as he removes it from Eli's wound. My stomach turns at the sight of it. So much blood."I'll give him a dose of sleeping medication so he can rest and not shift much to reopen the wound. " He utters while discarding the bloody needle on the small metal table beside the bed.He turns around perhaps to clean his hand off the blood, or perhaps to take the sleeping medication but before he could, Xavier's voice cracks through the air." What about Lily Rodrick? Will she be okay?" There's a visible tinge of worry in his voice that made me feel the emotion myself.Rodrick turns around slightly to look over his
