Alpha Alexis’ POVWhen Aurora rolled over to me to snuggle in her sleep, I created room for her while my hand found its way to her back and pressed a kiss against her skin where the tiniest of freckles would be. My hand then slid down to her waist, gently squeezing it as she sighed contently at my touch. I smiled, looking fondly at the sleeping girl before reaching for the covers that covered us. Once they were draped around the pair of us, my hand continued to move down lower until it was now resting on Aurora’s thigh. My thumb rubbed soothing circles against her thigh, hoping to help ease the restlessness inside of her so that we could both rest easier. After a moment though, she shifted slightly, moving closer toward my chest even in sleep. I chuckled and wrapped an arm around her tightly, letting her body weight press against mine and allowing myself to relax in her presence. My fingers began tracing patterns across her bare skin but the memory of how close she had been with Dan
Aurora’s POV“For how long are you going to avoid me?” Alexis voice echoed in my head as I continued down the sidewalk without turning around or answering him at all. I had forced him to take this stroll with me because for a second it felt like the walls of my room were closing in on me pulling me into the ground, and so, I needed something familiar. He was a part of my world now, no matter that I tried to ignore that fact and move on. But there was no ignoring this feeling anymore, which I could feel creeping up my insides with every moment we spent together and he didn't have to say anything out loud to make it clear.My thoughts were filled with Daniel too.He told me he loved me. It sounded too good to be true, considering the number of times I've always wanted to hear those words coming from him. But what was even more astonishing is that he did say them.I was confused, these two men were completely different people and yet they fit each other perfectly. They were so easy t
Unknown POVI laughed at how my chaotic plans were coming together with the speed of light. The universe was going to fall in love with me, I was sure of it. It would all be so much easier if everyone else felt the same way, but unfortunately for those people, my plan was perfect and I was always right. No one liked smarty pants.But all that will change soon enough, when I’ll be in charge.“Father, I am tired please” My daughter whined.I looked at how hard it was to make her fidget under my stare . “You are not done yet” I told her. “One more thing is missing,” I continued as she tried to wriggle free from the restraints on the chair. My little devil could have a lot of energy. She always knew what to say or do to make me happy. She was just like me, an excellent actress and good friend.Yet she was growing out of control. I had made her practise a spell for five days now before sending her out to get us breakfast. When I was finally satisfied with her casting, I sent her off to wo
Unknown POVShe was a slender blonde with wild eyes. One could easily mistake them for innocent eyes but not me.If you stared harder, you'd notice that they were vicious eyes of someone capable of murder. They were calculative and cunning. Her skin shone with the sheen of polished glass and her lips curled into a sneer as she observed her surroundings, as if searching for flaws in every surface and hiding place. Her long, blonde hair trailed behind her like a ghost trailing after her in hell, and despite the lack of a dress to cover her lower body it gave a sense of danger that radiated from her in waves, making her look like a predator stalking its prey with bared teeth and eyes shining with a hungry glow, waiting for the opportune moment to pounce…“What is in it for me?” She asked, her eyes narrowed in suspicion. “You want your mate to be only yours, I want the girl. So I get the girl, you get your little mate” I looked at her, “and I get my freedom. Simple as that. But if anyth
Aurora’s POVThe beach was crowded. I had forced Alexis to let me go. It was a short moment to get away from my problems, but it felt like an eternity of waiting and watching for someone to come along and rescue me from the ocean as if I were some sort of lost, injured bird that had somehow ended up in front of his door and he could only save me by taking care of it. After what seemed like forever, we were pushing through the crowds trying to go back home in order to get there before dark and get ready for dinner. Something strange happened, something very strange.My eyes had collided with an old woman. She froze, staring at me without blinking even once. She stood on the edge of the shore and looked at me like an owl. Her expression was one of absolute shock and horror, almost as if she couldn't understand how she was seeing me standing there like an apparition. It would have been comical in any other situation but when I realized that it was a real person, that they could se
Luna’s POV (Flashback)Aunt Portia’s lover irritated me. I thought she would make a better choice than him, but I suppose that doesn’t apply to the world of werewolves’ mates and love and he was her mate.He always reeked of cigarettes and alcohol . He was an unkempt man with wild, greasy hair that covered the top half of his face. His arms looked as if they were made out of wood and his fingernails were painted the color of blood. His nose looked like it had been run over by a horse while standing in the middle of nowhere. The only thing he could be good at was smoking. He smoked nonstop, day and night. Even when he didn’t smoke he still reeked of it.And gambling.He gambled everything on a roll of the dice. If he won one hundred, another hundred went up in flames. It was pathetic.But Aunt Portia loved him and he loved her too and Avery was their little princess.At least that was what I thought.Until I began to feel his rough hands lingering whenever I passed him and there were d
Luna’s POV (Flashback)“We will be having a few guests, get everything in order” Aunt Portia’s velvet voice was back, and gone was the sluggishness that she followed in her drunk state.By getting everything in order, she simply meant making sure everyone had the right place at dinner for a change, taking care of the cooking and cleaning up after, and putting everything in its correct places on their plate until the meal time rolled around.I worked tirelessly in the kitchen and took care to make sure every piece of food looked perfect.Mac came into the kitchen and they both monitored me, He and Aunt Portia.I was uncomfortable under their gaze, so I tried to ignore it by focusing my attention on putting together a perfect bowl of rice for Aunt Portia. My hands were trembling, and my fingers slipped slightly causing the new plate I had picked to break apart into pieces instead of being properly folded.I felt tears forming in my eyes, but no one seemed to notice.Aunt Portia saved me
Aurora’s POV“Aurora? I can't believe it is you” The old woman had tears running down her face while she sobbed and her body shook in a fit of sobs, “Oh my God, Aurora. It’s so good to see you” She tried to move close to me but I flinched hiding behind Alexis even more.“I am sorry ma'am but you have to move back” Alexis immediately came to my rescue trying to brush her off but the old lady didn't listen instead she kept walking until we were standing right in front of each other and with a shaky hand and eyes filled with fear she said “Please, just let me say hi. You are the only one who has been alive for as long as I can remember, and you know how hard that is to find someone”“What do you mean?” I asked as confusion was written all over my face and mind. But I couldn't get rid of her, she seemed like a nice lady. A little weird maybe but nice nonetheless. “Anyone who knew your parents would recognize you Aurora. You are the replica of them” She sniffled holding back the flow o
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
