Aurora's POV Today I went out with Jade we were taking a walk around the pack and she showed me all of her favorite places. Alpha Daniel was yet to find out more about the people who attacked me but I had seen how hard he was working. These days he has been checking up on me like he had promised and I have been trying to keep my distance. It was hard, very hard, there were times when I almost told him that I was in love with him but somehow I held myself back...I think it took everything in me to not tell him that. The thought of having to lie to him made me sick. But it wouldn't be fair to do that to him or Luna. I noticed how his eyes would linger on my lips longer than usual and the way he would look at me after every conversation. It was as if there was something there, something that would never happen and I couldn't tell if it was all imagining it because I desperately wanted it to happen or if he actually felt something for me...but then again, it doesn’t feel right to tell
Aurora’s POV “How could you girls know he was right there and none of you said anything about it?” I asked them, still feeling angry as I returned home. I was pacing back and forth in front of the door. My heart was beating hard, my hands were shaking, and my eyes burning with tears that bluntly refused to fall. The anger that had been building up over the past few hours now boiled over and threatened to erupt all at once. I couldn’t take this anymore and if they had only told me sooner then maybe we could have- I could have avoided him. “How are we supposed to tell you that your former mate was around getting you to react like this? You would have done that one way or the other” “Shut up Layla! fucking shut up!” I yell through gritted teeth. “It doesn’t matter what I do. I am so sick of always being on edge, but I had you guys and you were supposed to make my life easier, especially Sia! I don't want to hear a word from any of you again!” This time none of them said anything an
Alpha Daniel’s POV Aurora and I sat there drinking and giggling about anything and everything and I could swear that the alcohol was starting to kick in in our system because we were feeling so carefree. We laughed at each other until our stomachs hurt. I had never felt so carefree, so relieved, and so normal, in a long time. It wasn’t just the drink that made me feel like this but more so the fact that Aurora was sitting next to me and looking beautiful as always. She was wearing a black dress, which complimented her golden skin well. She had helped me ease the tension and tonight I wasn't thinking of the pack or the pressure that came with being Alpha, all I thought of was how lucky I was. To be able to sit beside Aurora and laugh about things that made you happy rather than worrying about them was amazing. “I didn't think I'd laugh so much today, talk more of this evening”, she admitted. She looked at me through her lashes and I saw her lips curved into that smile that I adore
Aurora’s POV Fireworks, butterflies, Sparks, and electric bolts danced through my body when I placed my lips against Alpha Daniel’s. I had thrown caution to the wind and his lips felt even way better than I had imagined. He pulled me closer as our tongues battled for dominance. He might mine with slow wicked lapses, pulling me into a realm of passion. I clung to his neck, letting it consume me until he pulled away. We stared at each other with dark, lustful eyes. “Fuck... should we go inside?” he asked me and I nodded gingerly. His hands lingered on my arms and my heart pounded in anticipation of what was coming next. We stumbled into the dimly lit apartment. He closed the door behind us and I couldn't wait any longer as my lips returned to kissing him furiously. I tugged at his shirt, wanting more. He pushed back against me, hard, pushing me down until we managed to make it to the room. I gasped loudly as his hand found its way under my dress, caressing my breast before moving
Alpha Daniel's POV As I thrusted into her and watched her wince in pain and I waited patiently for her to get accustomed to my size. “Are you okay?” I asked and she nodded as tears formed in her eyes. “Are you sure you don’t want me to stop?” I asked again and she nodded. She gripped my shoulders tighter and closed her eyes and moaned at the contact of my length against hers. Her nails dug into my skin a little bit and she was panting, but she was still gripping me. I pushed into her gently for what seemed like forever until I reached a slow and gentle rhythm that sent tingles across her body and made her toes curl. “More” she begged while wriggling beneath me and I obliged by taking more. It took all my willpower not to push past her tight walls and bury myself inside her because she smelled so good but my job was to make this one experience last a while, and if she was willing then it had to be good enough. “Please” she begged when our pace slowed and I felt her tremble beneat
Aurora’s POV I sat there dazed for a moment, unable to move, unable to think. The room was cold, my body numb as I caught my reflection in the mirror beside my bed, my eyes wide and unblinking as they stared out at me, as though in shock. My mouth hung slightly open as if frozen in a gasp as I slowly turned my head away from myself. Shame washed over me like a tidal wave of disgust and shame, an emotion so intense that I felt as though it were physically draining me from my very soul. I closed my eyes tight, trying desperately to block out what I knew was inevitable— I couldn't even process what had just happened. What I'd done. How could I have been such a fool to allow myself this? To think for one second to believe that I had some sort of relationship with him! That he could be mine! I felt my heart sink lower than it already had. He would always despise me now. How could I have hurt Camille? I know she didn't like me, the permanent glare on her face when it came to me made th
Aurora’s POV I was running through an unfamiliar path, there was someone chasing me and I had no idea who it was. They weren't human. The smell of their flesh made my stomach lurch, I tried to push on, not looking back but they were relentless in pursuing me. I knew what I had to do, as a precautionary measure. When the man appeared I could hardly process what was happening. He tackled me, I screamed as his arms squeezed around me so tight that if he hadn't been so tall I would've been squished. I managed to free myself from him and take a few steps back before turning around. My breathing was coming out in gasps and the adrenaline rush had disappeared, leaving me feeling exhausted. I was running through an unfamiliar path, there was someone chasing me and I had no idea who it was. They weren't human. The smell of their flesh made my stomach lurch, I tried to push on, not looking back but they were relentless in pursuing me. I knew what I had to do, as a precautionary measure. Wh
Alpha Daniel’s POV I hated myself, I lacked words to describe how I felt. I don't know how to explain it to you, but the only way you would understand this is if you experienced all that I have. All that I had ever been, all that I would always be. But you can't feel all that because you don't experience emotions, not for long. The longer your soul exists, the more it changes you. I didn't know why or how Luna knew about my being with Aurora, I didn't know what to expect! She had spilled my secrets but I was sure Aurora did not hear because she was in the room but what if someone else had heard? “Talk to me Luna, you can't ignore me forever” I told her , I had to get answers from her. I wanted her to understand why I couldn't do anything about our situation. There were no words to express everything that we had been through together and now if she wasn't with me, she could be the ruin of me. “What do you want, Daniel?” Luna asked and then sighed deeply “What are you so desperate
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
