Aurora’s POVAnd just like Alexis had promised, the nightmare expert was brought in and she was different from all of my expectation. The Nightmare expert was a tall skinny looking woman who seemed old and young at the same time making it hard for me t know how old she truly wasHer face- the left side was covered in three medium size circles of tattos, and her eyes had the smokiest eyeshadow above them. She wore a floral chiffon kimono over a blue denim and white singlet. Her wild brown hair stood in all directions, her skin was as dark as her eyes and her hands and neck were adorned with weird-looking pieces of beads and she scared me.I've only ever seen those things in the movies.As soon as we sat down she took my ankle and looked closely at it.“It looks like you got into a fight with a tiger” she commented while examining my foot.I frowned. “Why would I fight a tiger?” it was Layla who forced those words out of my mouthShe shook her head sadly like she felt sorry for me and t
Aurora's POVAs the nightmare expert led me gently to the bed, stripping me halfway, I blushed feeling embarrassed.Then she applied whatever she had mixed in the wooden spoon, on my chest, arms, waist and legs. I tried not to look in disgust but I felt a slight burning sensation all around me and I closed my eyes for a second. When she was done I opened my eyes to see that I had completely covered my body in the strange brown mixture.I frowned.“What is this weird smelly thing?” Layla asked in disgust and for the first time in a while, I supported her too. She was right, what was this?“It will help” she assured as if she had just over heard my thoughts.“It better works” Layla still butted in.But I looked at her skeptically and she smiled kindly. How was that even possible? I thought she was mea
Alpha Alexis POVZee came out of Aurora’s room looking drained and exhausted. It seemed as if she had been in a fight, a terrible fight. Her ruffle bag hung around her neck firmly and she gave me a weak smile.“It is done” she announced and I let out a breath of relief I didn't know I was holding.Then she tugged at my hand and moved me down the hallway, looking around like she wanted to be sure nobody was close enough to hear what she was about to say to me.“Alexis, it was nothing like any other case I have dealt with, this is different. I don't know how to explain it” her strange black eyes were piercing mine.“What do you mean by it’s different?” what could possibly be different from every other case.“You don't get it Alexis” her voice was firm causing my gaze that wa
Aurora’s POVIt was a deep slumber indeed, it felt so good and believing. Yawning and stretching on my bed, I placed my legs roughly on the floor. Then I froze, expecting the sharp pain of the sprained ankle to engulf me but it did not. I stared down at my leg in horror and surprise, slowly pushing myself up.My ankle was completely healed and completely whole! I ran my hand over my knee, my fingers grazing the faint traces of scar tissue that had once marked the place. So much happened in such a short time that I barely had time to process most of it. It must have been hours since Zee made me fall asleep, whatever she had applied to my body seemed to work. I didn't fall asleep to any nightmare in the woods, and now my leg was completely healed.I went over to the kitchen and to meet Evelyn we sat talking. It was only when she looked at the kitchen door that she froze.And I followed her gaze, standing at th
Alpha Alexis POVAurora was a whole lot of things. These days I have watched her go from agitated to scared to curious and a whole lot of things. I was curious about her, I wasn't complaining if there was anything, I was glad that she was in my space and I wanted to know her more.To make up for all the times I took for granted, to be a better man, to be all she wanted. But Iwasn't lying when I said I could smell her arousal and even if I was, the rubbing of her thighs would have given her away.I don't know what happened to me, not that I regret anything, I enjoyed every reaction on her face when my hand touched her, it made my member twitch. One thing was certain, I knew I wanted Aurora in every way possible.I wanted to taste her rosy lush lips, I needed to feel my hands on that beautiful golden skin, her firm breasts that had tempted me on one of those nights from her transparent ni
Alpha Alexis POVShe wasn't expecting to see me. It was very obvious from the look of shock on her ageing face.“Alpha Alexis…what a surprise” She managed to say. I guess she'd been hoping it would be someone else who’d come knocking at her door after being gone for so long.“Good to see you too Madam Margaret. You don't seem too surprised that I'm here” I lied as I took in the scene before me. Her house seemed smaller than I remember.“What brings you?” She asked in what she must have thought was a friendly tone. I could tell she didn't feel like being friendly with me at that moment. In hindsight, I should've figured out sooner that it was all a front. Many things about her reminded me more and more about my past.“Aurora”She seemed to freeze for a while, trying to understand if what she just heard me say was right or not. When she finally came to terms with it, she turned towards me with an expression of disgust. The way she had to take a deep breath to hide her true feelings made
Aurora’s POV“What do you mean? We have to leave!” I yelled at them.“We don't have to leave Aurora, what is wrong with you? Didn't we all agree that we were going to let him help?” Sia countered from my head.“I changed my mind. What are we even doing here? It's as if my life doesn't have any purpose. I feel stuck!”“Hey, Aurora, we know this was a difficult transition for you- for all of us. The past several weeks haven't been easy either, but this isn't how we want things to turn out right now, not when you're still grieving over our loss of power. It is not safe out there for us. What if something is lurking in the corner? This place hasn't exactly had a peaceful history and I doubt it will any time soon, but this is all we have, do you understand me?” Sia’s voice echoed through my head.
Aurora’s POV“Alpha Alexis!” It sounded like the screeching of tires and the sound sent chills racing down my spine. It seemed to echo everywhere, bouncing off walls and ceilings, making a mockery of my heart beating inside my chest.I turned my head and saw a familiar face rushing towards us.I knew that red-haired person very well. She was one of Alexis's concubines and I had caught her in bed with him on different occasions.Anger flew through me like lightning, burning me from within. My vision blurred and I could feel a hot rage consuming me, leaving no place for rational thought. My heart raced, pounding against my ribs. I wanted to lunge at her, strangle her, make her suffer like she had made me suffer so months ago.But I couldn't. That would be stupid of me.Instead, I sat there, frozen, unable to move or think. The entire table wen
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
