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
Unknown’s POVThey had gone to the seer, I needed to hurry up before they found out what I was up to. It was a secret but I needed them to think it had been for good, I couldn’t let them know about what I wanted them to do. They didn't understand magic. “How long is it going to take?” I tried not to snap at my daughter, she was the only reason I was even trying to make this happen. “You have to do something soon,” she was being so quiet and I was almost worried she wasn't breathing anymore. But I knew how stubborn she could be, she wouldn't give in easily. “I am trying father” She sounded almost frustrated as well.“Try harder! I raised you better than this,” we were getting on each other's nerves, and that would mean nothing if we weren't careful. But with me working like this there wouldn't be much time for that anyway.“This is too important. We can't come this far to just let something slip through our fingers,” I sounded desperate now. “And besides it doesn't even really help
Aurora’s POVI wouldn't say I was exactly comfortable when I moved into Alexis' room but on some days, it was better.I tried to stay out of his way to avoid invading his personal space. There were times where he wasn’t a talker and he didn’t need company at all hours and I didn’t need much time to myself either so I usually managed to get out the door before anyone else had even started waking up. He would usually just stare at me from across the breakfast table as if he could see right through me like an empty screen. I didn’t like that very much and I didn’t trust him enough to ask about the things he saw inside my head or where they lead. I am still had nightmares most nights. My dreams were always terrifying but there was something different about these dreams which made them worse than usual. Something about the darkness was creeping its way in with every new dream until it consumed everything. It took over my thoughts leaving nothing but static. When this happened I was unable
Aurora’s POVWhen Alexis returned home that evening, I didn't tell him what I saw. I was tired of repeating the same sad tale, tired of being the bearer of bad news , he had enough to do worrying about his pack, their well being and the bills . It wasn’t my place to be a burden, even if I didn’t know for certain there was a problem, he already looked so stressed with it being just the two of us for now, he was barely getting any sleep. I noticed how he stayed up…“Don’t you like the food?” Alexis' voice cut through my thoughts. He was looking at me from across the table with raised eyebrows and pursed lips, the food in front of him untouched as he watched my reaction “It’s good, isn’t it?”“Mmhmm”“What’s wrong then? You haven’t touched your food. Is this a habit of yours?” His tone was serious but he wasn’t angry, instead it sounded more like he wanted to understand and maybe help.“You haven't touched yours either” My answer was only half true but he accepted it nonetheless, he gav
Aurora’s POVAlexis woke up to caresses from me. I was still lying in his bed, my fingers traced gently around his chest and he was smiling down on me with adoration. I wanted him so much. I didn't care how early it was. I just needed him inside of me.I licked his neck to his earlobes to get him turned on then I moved my way down to his abs, nibbling slightly at the edges where moaned appreciatively when I ran my tongue back over his skin and continued kissing him until I felt his hands move up my back and cupped my ass. We kissed again then he pulled away. "We can't."“What? “ I almost screamed.“I have a meeting…”“It can wait now kiss me back” I ordered as my lips were pressed against his again and he did.His hands roamed my body again before one stopped right above where my dress was and trailed his finger lightly up toward the edge of the nightie. I shuddered beneath him. “Don’t. “He frowned. “Do you want me to stop? “ I shook my head no. “It’s not a nice feeling to be interr
Unknown POVThey strode across on their horses and I could smell Fear and superiority that hung in the air, making it almost hard to breathe.“Don't stare at them!” The person who was with cautioned from my side but I didn't listen, I stared at the men that rode past us in anger.Not even trying to hide my hatred and irritation from them. When my eyes collided with their leader’s I saw pure loathing in those greenish blue pools of his – a loathing that made me want to jump into a lake and swim away as far as I possibly can. I had to admit though. It was one hell of a look and it was directed right at me.“I told you not to look at them! Do you know how much trouble you could have gotten into trouble” he scolded me once they were gone.He looked tired now, and I knew that he had been pushing himself for days. He'd barely slept and ha
Aurora’s POVI had forgotten about Erika. She was the first real friend I had here.When I first got here, it wasn't long before I knew people didn't like me, the maids would snicker whenever they saw me around, and even those who hadn't disliked me at first, now seemed to be treating me differently. They wouldn't look at me like I was even worth a grain of rice and if they caught me looking at them, they were quick to turn away and act as though I hadn't been there before, or else. I had become so used to it by now, that sometimes my body just moved on autopilot, and I could barely keep track of what was happening. It had officially been a week since I got there and Alexis never approached me and I was fine with us staying out of each other’s way.But I always knew I needed to leave this place, everything was driving me crazy.I had begun to take walks in the garden and surprisingly, no one stopped me but I could swear the guards were paying attention more than they should have been
Aurora’s POVI had taken the herbs the seer had mixed for me and yet I didn't feel any different. My hands trembled as I put the little cup of tea into my mouth but nothing happened. Maybe it was a bad omen, maybe I should have done something else with these herbs before I brought them to my room- Alexis room, maybe there really was some kind of curse on them…or maybe it would be better if it wasn't. Maybe I was just cursed.My mind ran on the endless possibilities of things that could go wrong in my life and I sat silently on my bed for hours thinking about the consequences when a knock came at the door. I thought about going to the bathroom or pretending not to know who the visitor was so they would leave. However, I knew it wasn't my imagination. The knocks were too hard, too authoritative. I went to open the door and there stood the person who had been in my dreams for weeks now- the almost good. His dark eyes seemed to be filled with anger. I gulped. “Yes?” I asked.He said n
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
