The Alpha's Commoner Bride Chapter 71 – Our Mess to Clean
Chapter Seventy-One – Our Mess to CleanAuroraJaxson must have spotted the carnage on the beach from afar because I watch his black wolf sprint down the shoreline until he spots my gaze and zips over to my side. His eyes are practically red in color, something furious rippling through him as he tips his head and drags me up the beach a little, circling me as I lay safe in the shallowest of ebbing waves.I shiver, cold from the water but chills brushing down my naked body from the hot blood covering my side and hips. The cut is on my back, a claw mark or teeth mark bleeding profusely from puncture wounds behind my hip, covering my lower half with severe, iron blood.He doesn’t shift back though, standing over me with every leg protecting me, cornering me under his shield of a body, staring at the few wolves still lingering in the aftermath of the fight not far from here. The Apogee pack has defiantly won, mostly due to the sheer number of wolves that rushed the royals unexpectedly.Xa
The Alpha's Commoner Bride Chapter 72 – The Letter
LukeI’ve read her handwritten note every night since I received it. Paul and Row tried to hide it from me for a while, something so secretive about their intentions to keep me from having this letter that Aurora wrote for me, knowing our last interaction together would be us running from the Apogee pack, from Xander, and me making sure she would get away.I should be satisfied knowing we are both alive, but I’m not. She has been such a huge part of my life and now she is gone. I can’t see her again, can’t talk to her again, and oddly, I mourn our friendship. When it gets late at night, every night, I find the note I hid on top of the cabinets in the kitchen and read it over, seeing stains of tears blur the ink in some places.You will always be my first love, reads the very last line. I so desperately wished she write down where she was, or even gave me a hint, but not her, or anyone here, wants to tell me.I should forget about her, about our history, and it’s been a hectic few week
The Alpha's Commoner Bride Chapter 73 – The New Alpha
AuroraJaxson works hard, too hard in my opinion, but he has been quiet the last few hours. I lay on the couch, my wounded leg still useless but my back healed with our mating mark finally back where it belongs, from who it belongs to. He helped with a burial for the lost pack members, but he won’t tell me who was killed in the royal raid.I can see him struggling to clear his mind, sweeping away the glass on the floor from the broken window of our hut. He is meticulous, and a little bit abrupt, stopping me when I lean forward to stand, his heavy hand find my shoulder and guiding me back down with just a stoic look.“What do you need?” he asks, his tone stiff.I motion for the kitchen, my mouth dry and my head light. “I was going to make some coffee,” I hum, seeing his dark eyes and wishing they would turn back to their real gentle blue color. “I just figured because we didn’t get to sleep and we probably won’t get to for a while…”He leans the broom against the wall and takes to the
The Alpha's Commoner Bride Chapter 74 – Alpha Vote
AuroraIt’s difficult to walk, having to lean my weight on Jaxson’s side, his arm hooked around my back, while my knee is wrapped so tight in gauze tape that it makes my whole leg numb. Jaxson grumbles, wishing I would stay in the hut, in bed, giving him an excuse to dote over me tonight and miss this meeting in the village but I am stubborn and he is desperate to please me.“You’re too weak for this, sweetheart,” he moans, my pace stalling as I trip once, his arm clinging to me to steady my balance and help me not fall forward. “Please, let me take you home.”“No, Jaxson, we’re not missing this meeting. I want to vote. You should be there. If they want you as Alpha, then they obviously think you are worthy of the role. They feel safe with you.”“They wouldn’t if they knew who I really was,” he grumbles.We arrive to the little hut that once belonged to the Alpha and Luna. The entire village is here, in the back yard where a small campfire is rolling waves of heat. I can tell the othe
The Alpha's Commoner Bride Chapter 75 – Protective
AuroraMeow! Meow!I swear I hear Snowflake in my sleep, calling for me just outside the hut door. I convince myself that it’s in my head, it isn’t real, but I am stuck hearing her precious calls for help reply over and over in my head. Jaxson and I finally get a night to sleep, a full night of blissful rest, and yet I toss and turn in the haze that is her meowing.Looking to Jaxson beside me, he adjusts in his sleep, curled onto his side and facing me, but so soundly unconscious. I would hate to wake him, especially if I was just being crazy and hearing noises in my head. I leave bed quietly, my leg sore but I manage a slight limp, looking outside to the dark of night and seeing the porch clear of any kitten.I rub my eyes, exhausted.Meow!I perk up, hearing the clear call of my cat just outside. My head spins. I hurry out the front door and off the porch, my eyes scanning the woods nearby, just past the shore and the sandy beach. My pulse is rapid and painful, so desperately wantin
The Alpha's Commoner Bride Chapter 76 – Hot Hot
AuroraAs my twentieth birthday approaches, I fear the oncome of what this will mean for my life. I have always felt a little immature, but I think now that things will change. I will be more brave; I will finally feel free to make my own life something worth living and worth protecting. I know I will never have to worry about being protected with Jaxson around. My Alpha is dutiful and fierce. He doesn’t let anything happen to his Luna.We have done nothing but talk about what we wanted for our ceremony. I want what I saw in my moon goddess vision. I would prefer us in a field, alone, just my Alpha and I. But he insists on Dawn pack being there. He wants everyone there to witness us officially mated in ceremony, of pe

AuroraJaxson is off with his training as he does before the pups awake. I take this time to myself to tidy up the hut, pour myself a cup of coffee and watch the sun dare to break the horizon. I watch the waves lap and decide to venture toward them, seeing the sky in the distance a beautiful navy color now. The peace of this pack brings me joy unknown to me before.I wish I had seen just where Jaxson and I would have ended up before I made things so difficult. I only wanted to be free, to love without trouble, but this trouble has brought me a grand future. Thankfully he never gave up on me, and I never fully let myself lose him because otherwise, I would be left in another life, one not as fulfilling as this one.I hear the sounds of feet on sand approach from behind and the scent of my mate’s wolf is nowhere nearby. Instead I smell that of my best friend, his tired eyes coming into focus as he stands beside me in blissful awe, watching the moon expire to the morning.“Good morning,
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 90 Endless Infinity
JaxsonI still fear for my mate. I watch her more than she would ever know. She is calmer now, not as frightened or startled as she used to be. She was never meant to be scared, to be worried that the world we live in would hurt her but I am not the maker of the world. I am not the keeper of knowledge and I am not a king.I’m but a humble Alpha, a father to three pups, a mate to an amazing Luna, and I am finally okay with that. I have let my childhood fantasies run free and I stopped chasing them at last. My life has become simple, not waited on by terrified maids, worried they will be slapped for missing an order or mispronouncing a name of a royal.My Luna has taught me the right way to live, easily, and she does so even now, holding one pup on her hip, stirring a pot for dinner and tending to the other two on the floor at her ankles, playing with large plastic utensils like they’re in a band. I watch her move through her night with a flow, a vine in the wind, easy and pretty.For a
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 89 Sweet As Honey
AuroraFinally, free of the pups, I relax on the couch with Jaxson, sipping our hot-coco and humming tunes stuck in our heads. It feels so empty and quiet in our house but at least we have some time to lean back and breathe. I am utterly exhausted right now but that hasn’t stopped my mind from wandering to what I’ve been mulling over all day on.Jaxson gently breathes against my back, both of us snuggled on the couch that is hardly big enough for at least one of us, so I take to sitting on his lap, practically crushing his chest, but I don’t care and neither does he seem to. His arm curls around my shoulder, keeping me close to him without any intention of letting me go.I aim to kiss his neck, his hand diverting me elsewhere, kissing his lips ravishingly. I can’t help but moan as he makes out with me so vigorously that I pant for breathes against his mouth, begging to steal some air from his lungs to have for myself.“Alpha,” I say, practically begging for more with my whimpering ton
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 88 Fucked Up Family Reunion
AuroraIt couldn’t possibly be more tense in this tiny hut if we tried. We have been lingering on the porch for what feels like hours, Kennedy and Jaxson mulling over conversations that vary from subject to subject. I try not to pry in the talks all that much. I don’t necessarily care firstly but secondly, I fear for my friends, my family, and the other commoners of Dawn pack while the king Alpha’s men all stand on the beach, prepped for trouble.My stomach aches at the mere thought of trouble in our paradise, especially when my three sleeping pups have to woken up soon from their afternoon nap so they can have dinner.Jaxson gives me an all-knowing look, his eyes heavy with concern. I give him the same somber look and the king must notice, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. I watch as he twiddles with his thumbs, sensing our hesitation, and I don’t think any of us are interested in dragging this out longer.“I know you were pregnant,” Kennedy sighs, finally breaking the tension. “My
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 87 The Grand Ole Grandfather
AuroraWhen the panic subsides, Jaxson and I move slowly, trying to keep the pups quiet enough to inspect the living room first. Snowflake is startled and froze upright, worried as she looks out the front window. I follow her gaze, the morning simple and bright and warm as it pours into our small, quaint hut.Jaxson clings to one pup, while I juggle the other two. He gives me a daring look of caution.Stay close but stay behind me.I give him an approving nod, not stupid enough to face anything when I’ve got a perfectly capable, super strong Alpha with me. He and I both leave the hut and make our way to the beach, turning in every direction to see everything seems rather calm outside, like nothing happened at all. Everything except for a tall stack of black smoke in the distance, trailing into the sky.“Aurora!” My mother finds me first, thankfully taking Dawn from my grasp, clinging to the little pup. My father is next, taking Lily from Jaxson and then taking the young male pup from
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 86 The Quake
Aurora“Please, tell me you’re joking,” I breathe, feeling to stunned to believe it.Jaxson kisses my temple, shaking his head. “It’s true sweetheart.”“Every—Everyone?”He nods once more. I feel tears form in my eyes.“Because of Xander’s death and the treason on me lifted for leaving the Royal pack,” Jaxson says, brushing a stray tear off my jaw, “I just thought it was now safe enough to allow everyone to come live in Dawn pack.”I throw myself to my mate, feeling him grab me, hold me, and never intend to let go of me. I cry gently into his chest. I was worried he would miss the royal pack and crave to be the royal king Alpha more than he would want to create a mating bond with me but I was terribly wrong. He has now proven tenfold that he cares for me so deeply that he would invite my parents, my best friends, into the pack we have chosen to live our lives in.I do worry though, truthfully, that Luke has come for alternative reasons. He hasn’t spoken to me since the beach and I don
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 85 Thirteen of Us
AuroraI manage to slip on something to wear, feeling so clouded in my mind that I don’t even notice I have managed to slip into a summery white dress while holding Dawn on my hip throughout it all. I kiss her pale nose, her bright blue eyes a wonder to this world. She is too precious to believe and yet, I know she is special, like her two little siblings.She winks awake and back asleep a few times, attempting to finally fall back asleep but I can’t stand another sleepless night where Jaxson and I have to take turns with cooing these little pups back to sleep.I pace outside to the living room, seeing the beach full of people. I spot Jaxson first of course, his arms full of little Jax and Lily who is busy pulling at his hair in the fistful. He doesn’t seem to mind it as much while he converses with the newcomers.I know them all, of course. I’ve just been too nervous to say anything to them. I cling to Dawn, like a shield, or a distraction, and carefully step off the front porch and
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 84 The Alpha Pups
AuroraLily Opal Knight, Dawn Emerald Knight, and Jax Hunter Knight.I hold them all three in my lap, my wolf ready to pounce and lick each of their faces separately, lovingly, so desperate to be their favorite admirer in all forms possible. I lean back in bed, cradling each sleeping child in my tired, limp arms.I haven’t been able to do much since the fight it took to give birth, and I’ve been out of my mind ever since. I have even sworn to hear Luke’s voice outside the hut, especially when Jaxson pounces to go to the kitchen or any other reason he has given when leaving the bedroom. I relish when he returns, aiding me in the smallest of acts that truly make me feel thankful to have a mate like him by my side.He never fails to hold me when I feel the nagging after-ache of what my body has been through, and he helps me rest in the shower, letting the warm water drown over my body when I need a break from my otherwise, perfect angels. I patiently wait for his return now, seeing him b
The Alpha's Commoner Bride #Chapter 83 The Life I Once Lived
AuroraI see my parents.They were always so supportive. I never expected them to want to have children. We lived a hard life, the three of us brought up in a world where commoners are mistreated and slaughtered, if not used by royals as nothing but slaves. I always figured it would be hard for me to bring up children, knowing they could see the same fate as so many others I have witnessed fall victim to royals before.Meeting Jaxson changed all of that, but not at first. I still recall the coincidental moment that made him find me, and I recall spending so many days and weeks thinking it was a nightmare, that I had gone crazy and my mind was unsafe for me. I couldn’t come to accept what he claimed to be true. He had to have been mistaken.I see the moments where I asked him to just reject me, to make both of our lives simpler, but my mate never gave into that outcome. I even rejected him and it only pushed him further to be with me. It sent us closer together. It made sense at the ti
