Unknown POV
They 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
Alpha Daniel's POVThat morning, I set out to go to the seer.It was going to take me a day and a half to get there but if that was all I had to do to get the answers I needed, then I was ready to do it. Besides, I wanted to see how this would work before I tried to contact anyone outside of my pack. And the seer wasn't like other seers at all. “Should I come with you?” Luna asked for the umpteenth time since she came into the bedroom this morning.She sat in the chair by the nightstand next to her pillow. She looked up at me as she pulled the covers around herself. Her hair looked a mess but otherwise, she didn't look too bad. “Did I say I was going somewhere?” I questioned looking up from my phone as I put it back in my pocket.“You didn't. It only looks like you are hurrying off somewhere” she said as she crossed her legs. “Do you have plans? I could come if you want.-”“I don't. Just need to make some calls. And you're not supposed to leave your room to mine unless something im
Alpha Daniel’s POV I don't know how it happened but when I woke up, it was already morning and my head throbbed like a son of a bitch, which it probably was because I had fallen asleep on the steering wheel and there was still an awful headache coming from behind my eyes. I rubbed them to try and get rid of the annoying feeling and took a look around the environment. There wasn't much, except for the little yellow dot in the distance. That must have been where I was going. After all, the last thing I remembered was struggling against the void feeling that tried to suffocate me as I fell into it. The only way forward for now was ahead. And if it meant taking out whatever made this hellhole more bearable, then I would take whatever. It didn't matter whether it was some kind of cosmic energy source or just a small meteorite hitting me dead on, as long as it kept me going forward I would accept anything. I was tired of running away from things like this. It seemed the whole world w
Aurora's POVIt was as if my whole world stopped and everything started moving in slow motion at the same time… I felt the air rush out of my lungs and suddenly it was impossible to breathe. It hurt like hell to inhale because all the oxygen had been sucked out through the roof of my mouth. My eyes were wide open but they could only focus on one thing; something that was not there.Was I dreaming? Was he really standing in front of me? After all these months? I didn't know how long it'd been – days? Hours? But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make myself believe what my senses told me I was seeing, hearing or feeling... or maybe just experiencing what they saw and heard. Maybe I was still sleeping – and that was the reason why things looked so different from this side. Or maybe it wasn't a dream; I could've lost a limb in the fall, broken some bones or brain aneurysms while unconscious... and then I would have woken up here – wherever here was.Or maybe I was awake, but not
Aurora’s POV“Are you going to say something else?” Daniel was staring right into my soul.“Like what?” I croaked even though I knew what he had been referring to.He looked at me as if he was trying to figure out something. Something... stupid?No…My brain started spinning faster than the spin cycle of a light bulb, and I didn't know how long that could last. I had never been the best at lying to him, even when I'd tried to be clever about it, which, in retrospect, seemed very foolish and naive in retrospect.“Why did you leave Aurora?” He asked me again. His voice was like steel but there was an undertone of worry underneath.“I don't remember” I lied, looking straight into his eyes without blinking.But I did know why I left. And I hoped he magically did too, I knew, deep inside him where I couldn't reach. Not just physically, not anymore. But mentally, maybe. The only way I could find out, was if I dared look too deeply into his mind. But I wouldn't dare, would I? He’ll look thr
Unknown NarrationIt was one of those evenings one sat by the fireside away from the storm and its growing rage and Duncan Nightingale wasn't left out either. Sipping a generous amount of brandy from his glass while he sat on his neatly weaved relaxation chair where his royal blue robe embroidered in gold thread flowed gloriously, it was so calming to just sit there enjoying the silence and his solitude. He sighed contentedly, closing his eyes as he basked in the feeling of being alone for once, at least until he heard the soft sound of footsteps which he thought he had imagined, and a frenetic unceasing knock on the castle door. Wondering who it was while knowing fully well that the royal staff had retired for the day, he walked towards the door, opened it by himself, and came face to face with a drenched young girl.She was dripping wet and her incredibly large blue eyes looked absolutely terrified as she trembled from the cold. He didn’t really care to know why because right there
Alpha Alexis POVI couldn't tell what hurt the most between seeing Daniel there and noticing how his presence affected Aurora.It made me feel like a failure in her eyes, as though something that could have happened was just out of my reach. It was probably the truth though. I didn't know if it was worth the pain of letting myself fall for her all over again to see her there instead of with me. Aurora was in love with him, it was way too obvious. It stood as a reminder, letting me know that whatever I did, whatever I said, it wasn't going to be enough. That she was just too good for me. Even now after so many months together, she still found someone who had a lot more to offer than me.Someone who had never treated her like crap in the past, someone who had never cheated on her, someone who would give everything he was to her unconditionally, even when he clearly didn't have it to begin with. Someone who had shown her a side of himself that I'd never seen before. Someone who had sho
