Alpha Alexis POVI was supposed to take Aurora out that evening but when I opened the door of her room, she was fast asleep and I knew how unfair it would be if I woke her up at that moment. When I returned in the next two hours, there was no sign of her in the room, and not even when I called out her name.Fear hit me like a stray bullet and it was only when I opened the bathroom that I shook my head in both relief and exasperation when I saw that she had fallen asleep in the bathtub, fully covered in the bubbles the bath had created. She seemed so peaceful while sleeping, unlike her restless self, as of earlier, I noted as I moved closer to the tub.Her lips were partly opened as usual and she looked cute.“Shit,” I mumbled as I dipped a finger into the water, to feel it had gone cold. I contemplated waking her up, but I didn't want this peaceful aura of hers fading away in seconds. I knew she was stressed, she was not going to admit it but it was there, it was surprising how it fel
Aurora’s POVI lack words to explain how incredible sex with Alexis was.It was the kind of sex no one could describe, and yet somehow I knew how it would be if I had all of the world to choose from. Was I losing my mind or was it all a coping mechanism? I know I wasn't in love with him, but his touch drove me crazy sometimes when the urge to do something so utterly reckless took over. It was like there was a magnetic field around us both, pulling at us toward each other, and we weren’t quite able to escape. Maybe it was just the adrenaline rush that comes with good sex, and maybe I was making too much out of what was happening.And it had to be our wolves, I suppose. We were having a bonding moment or something, and they were feeding on the energy, taking in our scents, and giving off little growls between bouts. If they weren't already attached, we'd be in trouble now. I don't think either of us wanted the others to find out about that.Maybe.“Why do you blame me when you have sex
Aurora’s POV“Are you okay?” I cringed at how my voice sounded, it was laced with concern and I didn't know if I meant it or not. As I stood in that park with Alexis, it was like looking at an open book that was not open.There was nothing wrong with the way Alexis treated me, he had kept to his words and he seemed almost changed. For a while couldn't help but believe him that maybe he had truly changed and I doubted it at the same time. Did that make any sense to you?Right now, I could see that something was off with him. It was obvious in his energy and I didn't know what to make about it. It felt like the first time he had locked himself up over again only that this time he was standing in front of me.“Yeah, why?” I couldn't help but notice that his voice seemed distant, almost cold. What did I do wrong? I wondered.“I don't know, you look exhausted” my voice trailed off, I didn't want to offend him“Just working too hard, I'm fine”We stood quietly beside each other. I was weigh
Aurora’s POVAlexis slapped my bare butt repeatedly and I was sure that it left red angry marks. I still struggled and pushed against him.“Will you disrespect me again, Aurora?” he asked almost gently, that one would think he couldn't hurt a fly.“Fuck you” I spat aggressively.He grabbed my cheeks roughly forcing me to look at him. How was he this sexy? Has he always been like this? Was I beginning to lose my mind?“What did you say?” He growled but it sounded so sexy to my ears and I knew I was a goner.“I said fuck you” I raised my eyes brows at him as if challenging him. I wanted him to get pissed, to fuck me with such anger.His teeth bit and pulled at one of my nipples roughly causing a shiver of pain and pleasure to run through my whole body. Tears formed in my eyes.I struggled beneath him, I struggled in vein but Alexis didn't do much, he only held still as I struggled until I exhausted my strength.Then he repeated the same thing, biting and smacking my butt harshly. I lov
Alpha AlexisPOVThe week that followed came by really fast and soon it was time for us to go to the seer.Aurora avoided it after the intense sex we had. I couldn't tell if I had been too rough but she seemed to enjoy it as much as I did - it was safe to say we both did . Still, it felt like something was off with her. The way she smiled seemed forced. Her eyes were red and glassy. She always looked like she had been crying too much and it worried me greatly.Did I make her unhappy? Was there another reason she didn’t want to be with me anymore? Was it because of my lack of self control when it comes to the matter of sex? I didn’t know if it was a physical problem or if it was something else. How was I going to fix it?I thought we had finally begun to have something going between us, something real.Did I assume too fast? Had I done something wrong in some way? It was obvious Aurora didn’t love me in the same way I loved her. But maybe I hadn’t understood what she meant. I should tr
Aurora’s POVThe seer was a smallish Hispanic-looking woman with long black hair and a scar that ran from one corner of her lips to the other across her lower lip like a line on an apple. Her pale blue eyes were wide open and glowed in the candlelight as she stared up at something u could barely see.Fear also ran through me because immediately one of her servants led us to her. Her gaze followed me around for some time before it finally turned away and focused on her hands. The servant held them out and I saw that they were still glowing a faint blue, just like mine, but they looked more solid than my ghostly glow. "She's not going to hurt you," her servant said, "But don't touch her. She might get angry if you do."What the hell does that even mean?I knew the seer knew who and what I was, I was scared she'd blurt out.“Alpha Alexis” the seer breathed. “It is so good to see your face again. It has been far too long. And this is your mate?” She looked between Alexis and me.Did they
Aurora’s POVThe ride home was awfully quiet, there was no conversation between us.I could see it in Alexis' face that he was worried. His knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel so tightly, and his eyes glazed over with worry as we drove down the empty road.“What did the seer mean by the man wanting your powers”Fear struck me. I was hoping he didn't hear that part.“I don’t know what she was talking about. It just c Warsaw ame as a shock to me as well”But Alexis wasn't buying what I was selling. It was obvious from the way he kept his face forward and tell he was thinking, weighing options. I could feel the gear in his head turning.“I didn't seem like it to me. It looked like you understood what she was talking about. It just felt really off” “Do you think I am hiding something from you Alexis?” I couldn't let him see how shaky I was or how nervous my voice had grown. It was a bit sad that I had to play the victim role and manipulate him into thinking different. If
Alpha Alexis POV“Are you going somewhere?” Aurora surprised me by asking. I couldn't tell what was more surprising between her asking or her standing there.She was casually leaning by the door of my room and her eyes moved around as if she was expecting something to jump out at us from the darkness of the hallway. It would be easy enough to tell that it was still a bit dark. The moon, half full, hung high in the sky. And I was only a little bit sure about the time but it wasn’t much of a difference from any other day. Still early morning. I had just woken up.Weird.“No, is something wrong?” I asked her with my voice laced with sleepiness. “Did you have a nightmare again?”“Well, not exactly…” She paused for a moment before continuing: “Can I ask you a question?”“What is it?” I replied while trying to wake myself up even more.“Did you see anyone outside last night?” Now that got my attention. I straightened on my bed. “You saw someone?” I asked her with an incredulous tone. “Why
Luna’s POV (Flash back) No one knew where I came from, but they knew enough to consider me a bad omen. It was said that I was found on a lonely path and that I was about five and couldn't remember a thing, so my new parents kept me… “What are you doing? you are supposed to make breakfast” I looked away from the strawberry-blonde woman with a perfect face whose eyes were boring into my soul. “Yes Ma’am” I could still feel her stare shooting lasers at my back as I fidgeted with the kitchen cabinets until I found a plate and fork. “Sorry, sorry”. I quickly moved around the counter and went to make some scrambled eggs. It was only when she left the kitchen that I could breathe properly again. My head was spinning and my stomach was churning. A strange feeling of unease gripped my chest. It wasn't just the fact that she stared at me like an animal; she also seemed to know what I thought. And that unnerved me even more than her staring. I still remember when I got home from school and
Unknown POV“I found their headquarters, I know where they are keeping her, we should be on our way already” Silas was trying to button his shirt, his mind still in that dungeon where she was kept.“Woah, slow down a sec. How did you find it?” The femame questioned looking at the agitated male like he had grown a pair of horns.“What? you don't believe me?” Silas was agitated, they were wasting time.“No, I don’t. Last time I checked you were sleeping over there” She pointed with her hands. “And boom! you are telling us you found that you have found the moon stalkers quarter's, does that make any sense to you?” It was the calmness in the female’s voice that irritated one of them, how could she be so calm?“I found it!” He snapped through gritted teeth.The calm, who was just watching and knew where this was going to end, quickly jumped in. “Knock it off, children”Maybe the last word will keep them calm.“How did you find it, ?”Forcefully he tore his gaze away from the female, drawin
Alpha Daniel’s POVSex, Sex was a major distraction for me from all that had happened, Luna and I had sex nonstop, it seemed like. She didn’t even bother to get rid of my clothes afterwards. I could have gotten away with this if she hadn’t been such a perfectionist, but she wasn’t. She insisted on cleaning my sweat and tears off my body before I went to sleep, which made me feel embarrassed and gross. Now she was sitting on my face while I sucked on her clit bitting and using my fingers to make myself feel better. It wasn't working so well. The way my brain and dick just felt at peace whenever she touched me. I could hardly remember a time in our whole relationship when she hadn’t done it. It wasn’t fair. “Touch yourself” I ordered her. My voice sounded rough and deep and not my own. Her head whipped towards me, eyes wide and lips parted in surprise. She looked at me as though I'd grown another head. She stared and stared, like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. As though s
Aurora’s POVThat same dream invaded my head. With the same monster. The same dream, same words, same everything.“Not exactly who you were expecting, am I right?” he murmured amusedly, taking in the sight of me, as if he had planned this whole encounter.He took a step back and leaned his back against the wall of the room, still looking directly at me.My brain felt fried and my mouth felt dry. I couldn't find any words to reply. All that could run through my mind was him, and his eyes and his voice and his smell, his smell that filled me with pure terror.“Hello, Aurora” he greeted once again when he noticed my lack of response.“Aren't you going to answer me?” he teased, smirking playfully.My chest was constricting and my breaths were shallow. He chuckled again and shook his head, stepping towards me.“Answer me, Anna,” He demanded, looking furious like he was about to snap my neck.Very possible.But I couldn't think of any other thing apart from the fact that this could be my la
Aurora’s POVI don't think I could take it anymore. Then it struck me that I had gotten back my powers.“Do you think you can cut these ropes Ava?” I whispered to my witch side.“I'll try, but I am not promising you anything”And Ava tried but each time she tried the ropes that were tied around my wrist seemed to dig into my flesh causing more pain to my nerves which in turn made them even harder to control. I winced and squeezed my eyes shut as my head began to spin from the lack of oxygen. A moment later when it was apparent that nothing would happen for some more minutes I forced myself to relax and let go of all thoughts. I breathed deeply telling Ava that there was no need to try.“You see, I knew you were going to do that. Both those ropes are something no witch, vampire, or werewolf can untie and I choose it, especially for this occasion” The voice ran out again.“What do you want?” I was tired of playing his stupid games, I'd played enough already. He was the master of this wh
Alpha Alexis POVIn the midst of Aurora’s tears, I couldn't tell her that the council had mentioned me as a wanted person. I didn't want her to deal with more guilt than she already felt for her mistake. So instead I smiled at her reassuringly and said that I would be back soon to help. That would be enough for now. She was so young, I thought, how could her world have been shattered? But when she saw my expression, her face went pale and she nodded sadly before turning away. I felt like an insensitive fool.But I also needed to speak to my chief guard, he was the only one who was keeping me informed about all that was happening around us.“What is the update?” “You and your Luna are being followed, Sir, I think they put some sort of tracker on you both. Maybe they used a seer but as we speak now, they know where you both are, and it's best if you leave…”I didn't hear the rest because he was whispering and probably didn't want to get caught . My head buzzed. The thought that someone
Unknown POV“ She lost her powers, Father, and now she has them back, I don't know how possible that is, that is all I can say for now”We were seated in my little beast room which was lit with candles while she sat in the middle chanting , the air thick with the smell of incense, as if she could summon her powers at will from anywhere within our small sanctuary. The old wood panelled walls seemed to creak and groan with the vibrations as she kept repeating the same phrase over and over. As I watched, a spider fell to its death from a high beam above us. It didn' t even take five seconds until the floor began to quiver. I tried not to let it bother me. The candle flames danced around the room as I stared through the crack on the door at the dark figure kneeling before me. Her eyes shone red like embers as they glowed brightly under the flickering lights.I loved every bit of it. My daughter wasn't a tribrid, just a hybrid and she possessed these powers, I couldn't wait to get my hands
Alpha Alexis POVSometimes I wondered if Aurora cared about me at all. I honestly wanted to understand how she could sit there and comfortably speak of another man while I was the who who had been rejected. She’d told herself that a thousand times before, but now it just seemed crueler. Why hadn’t she ever said something? Maybe that meant that she didn’t think it mattered anymore. But…what had I done to be left behind?I made silly mistakes in the past, true but I was trying so hard to be better, trying even harder to keep her safe and sound. I did my best, didn't I? Didn't I love her like nothing else? If I couldn't please her as an adult then what kind of life would we have? What kind of life would I have without her around? I looked down as she rubbed her wrists where I held her previously. The angry fingerprint of my fingers lingered, but not long enough to show on her skin. It faded away after only a few minutes though, and by then she looked up at me with those big blue eyes, h
Alpha Alexis POVMy heart tore into shreds when I found it that it had all been lies, she had been lying to me the whole time and I thought I might actually die. She lied to me and didn't tell me, even though she knew how much I loved her and I told her a thousand times that she was my everything, that my whole world revolved around her and I wouldn’t survive without her and I couldn’t do this if she was gone.The entire damn time.What was I going to do? Someone from the council called me, he only did me that favor because I saved his life once. He said they were planning to come for her and I was thrown into a misery of despair.I couldn't let them take her even though she was a liar, even though she deserved it. If she died, who would I be then? The one left behind without her in my life. I would become just another Alpha. A sad person with no hope and nothing else to live for.As I drove home, I tried to keep my emotions in check to avoid any accidents on the way there, but ev
