Aurora’s POVI woke up to the lights reflecting off the white walls of wherever I was. It didn’t feel like a prison cell, that’s for sure. The sheets felt soft under my skin, and there wasn’t any sharp pain at all, unlike what usually happens when you wake up. Instead, it was like waking up inside a cloud of happiness and tranquillity. As if someone had cast a calming spell on me, as if they’d placed themselves right next to me so that I could feel their warmth, even when they’re far away. It was strange enough to make me think that it must be magic, or something similar. Or maybe not.Whatever it was, I welcomed it with open arms , wanting nothing more than to let go and sink into this wonderful world of dreams where people are just kind enough to take care of you. That doesn’t happen much these days, especially after all I had been through…It was as if everything took a fast turn, a very fast one as memories from last night came flooding back, as I opened my eyes.“Shit.” I sat up
Alpha Daniel's POVThe drive to Adela’s house on the hilltop took longer than I had imagined and at some point, I had to park my car by the roads that were rocky and inaccessible if I kept using the car.Her house stood alone on the hilltop surrounded by trees. It had structures like those old buildingsI read about it in books, which you could never find but you saw pictures of online. The only thing out of place was a giant statue that gave me creeps.When I knocked, there was no sign of her or anyone at home.I turned behind and caught sight of a long braid hidden behind a hat. When I got closer, I recognized who it belonged to: Adele. She was busy with her garden and when she caught the sound of my footsteps, she looked up and caught sight of beads of sweat dripping fromher forehead. She didn't seem shocked to see me, but I felt embarra
Alpha Daniel's POVShe let out laughter that sounded like a cackling of vulture wings and the clatter of metal falling from a high ceiling. She didn't seem scared of me.“Stop trying so hard Daniel, you and I know that you would never lay hands on a woman,” she said with such confidence in her voice, she even took pride in herself for being able to pronounce my name correctly. “But it’s fun when you pretend.” She giggled, her red lips stretching wide in that way she had, like someone who knows they have won something. I didn't think I would feel so much hatred for someone like how I felt at the moment, but seeing her face made the hate grow inside me. “You don't understand what it means to be me,” I yelled back. But I knew she wasn't lying and I let go of her.“Oh, how she cried and asked about you,” said this witch standing in front of me. The air around me started heating up, making me sweat under the weight of my leather jacket, I thought my jacket was hot enough as is, but the he
Aurora’s POV“We have something to tell you” Layla spoke on behalf of the three sides living in my head.“Did something happen?” I asked with a slight tremble in my voice. I couldn't believe that one of the sides had actually decided to talk to me about something important and they sent Layla as their spoke man or was it a woman?“Shit Sia you have to do this by yourself” I heard her say suddenly.“Can y'all tell me what is going on already?” I questioned them again, still trying to process what was going on.“Sia we are not sure ourselves but...” Layla started, before being cut off by a knock on our door. The three sides stayed quiet for a moment before speaking again. “It could be him! Or maybe he’s just checking up on you, answer him”Alexis step
Alpha Alexis POV“When do I get to leave?” Aurora asked as her blue eyes pierced through me with determination and a little bit of apprehension, a little bit of hope, a lot of fear that would probably stay for the rest of her life.“Soon,” I promised. “As soon as you are well enough.” “Why don't I believe you? I think I am well enough and that you haven't found a good reason yet, so just give me an answer and stop beating around the bush.” She scowled up at me. Her blonde hair stuck out on the side, sticking out of its messy bun. A piece had fallen in her eyes. But she didn't seem to notice.“Aurora, as much as I would like to keep you here for longer even if it's against your will doesn't mean I would stop you from leaving if you are well enough. You need rest right now. That is all there is to it.”“I don't think so. Why are you being so cagey about this whole thing? Just tell me already!”She made a frustrated sound in the back of her throat. She was starting to become more impatie
Alpha Daniel’s POV In the blaring of the alarm, Luna had a wide grin on her face, looking like a sick twisted maniac who could have easily escaped a psychiatric hospital to terrorise the entire city with her insanity. “Look at your face, you look like you'd pass out any moment now” Luna cooed. And I was wondering what sick game she was playing with me this time. “I lied, there is no tribrid, certainly not Aurora and I have no idea where she went” The words sounded like they were coming from someone else's mouth as if they weren't actually coming from Luna’s lips, but they made my heart race in a frightening way. I wasn't ready for what happened next. Luna looked up at me with that creepy grin of hers, and grabbed both of my arms tightly, like a predator about to take down its prey. With one swift motion, she slammed her body against mine, wrapping her hands tightly around me. I pushed her away, refusing to take the bait. “What do you mean by you lied?” I asked her, tryin
Aurora’s POVIt was dark and the sounds that filled the air sent goosebumps to my skin and made the hair on my arms stand.A little girl ran through the woods, and an older person whose face wasn't so clear was holding her hands firmly, the sound of their feet and breaths was all that was audible in the still night air. The girl had bright blonde hair tied in a bun with tears streaming down her face.“Mummy are we going to be alright?” she asked worriedly when she noticed the tears on her mother’s cheeksHer mother laughed lightly, she had the same golden blonde locks “Of course sweetie, everything will be just fine” They were hiding behind a huge tree trunk, and her mother placed her hand over the child's mouth.“Run” the mother told her child.The child shook her head, her eyes pleading with her mother not to leave her.The woman looked down at the child and gently caressed her cheek, “You must go now, sweetheart, please “ . The mother seemed like she was having an inward battle wit
Alpha Daniel’s POVI needed to make more inquiries, curiosity and confusion ran inside of me like a raging torrent as I sat in the middle of my room with no intention of getting up any time soon. I was so confused that I couldn’t even remember why I was still sitting there. There was also the feeling of being trapped. The walls were closing in on me as panic set its teeth into me. All I wanted to do was run. I needed to be away from everyone. But I wasn't running anywhere.That wasn't what men do, not to talk of an Alpha.I was going to see Adela and if she says something different I would have to get a soothsayer.I didn't trust Luna, everything about her was fishy.There was a knock on my door.“Who is there?” I yelled. My voice sounded hoarse and broken, like a wounded animal. It scared me how much I had been struggling to hold back everything.“It's me” the voice I knew too well came up from behind the door. Speaking of the Devil. I thought.She stepped in wearing a pair of loos
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
