Aurora’s POV
It 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
Alpha Alexis POV“Hello madam Margaret” I went back to see her again and from the look of things, she wasn't pleased to see me.“Alpha Alexis” her tone was cold and clipped. “What brings you here today?” The room was quiet and as if it had no one in it other than the two of us. It felt like a funeral room. I could feel a slight tremor in my hand when I placed it on the table. Her eyes flickered towards mine and then away.There were girls in the room, slave girls and maybe one day she'll sell them off like she did Aurora.The thought alone sent anger flowing through my veins like acid in water and the urge to tear into something became overwhelming. My fists clenched tightly at my sides, threatening to crack open a fingernail with how hard they were clenching. Why was I pissed? if she hadn't sold Aurora, how would I have met her? it was a win-win in a way.“Ladies!” Madam Margaret clapped her hands and the girls bowed gently before shuffling away. “Now that we are alone, why don't y
Alpha Alexis POV It didn't make sense why it had been said that Aurora would bring chaos, why? She didn't look anything like that, she didn't even act like that. And even though she had grown to become a feisty woman, there was still something about her old self that was still there. It was all a defense mechanism - her fiery countenance. There was something about her that screamed brokenness, that wanted protection and acceptance but at the same time, she couldn't quite let her guard down. Was that what I had caused her? Did I traumatize her that bad? And as usual the wave of guilt hit me like a truck, I felt like crying again. But that wasn't an option any longer - I could hear my own buzzard telling me, "It's okay you know... We're in this together"and somehow I believed him, even if I knew he was only trying to console himself and me. When I got back home, there was no sign of Aurora anywhere- I knew she wouldn't be out of her room but one could only hope. She didn't spe
Aurora’s POVHow was Alpha Daniel standing in front of me, how could that even be?“Swear you'll never push me away, promise that you will never run away from me again, I need you to promise me that” We were close- too close that his breath fanned my face.“Promise me, Aurora. Please promise” His tone sounded like he was pleading, I might have been wrong but he was holding my hand tightly.I didn't answer, I couldn't find any word in my head, did he want this for me? for us? Did he want me? The begging in his eyes, how terribly I missed him, I missed him so much.I could tell he was waiting patiently for my answer, but I wasn't able to make a single sound. I wanted to be honest with him, I felt terrible when I saw him so worried and scared, even though there was nothing at all wrong, not a thing.His grip on my hand tightened when he saw me struggling to find the right words to tell him everything.But my selfish self needed to know if he'll ever change his mind and if he'll ever love
Aurora’s POVI know my dreams were trying to tell me something, they were trying to communicate about something more than what I could not put my finger on, they wanted to show me answers that I was trying to find but never did when I had the chance to do so. But there were no answers for me, and I was scared of them all at the same time. What was it? Who was that woman and that poor baby? I wouldn't lie, the man gave me creeps, a whole lot of it.He managed to set my whole mind in an uproar like that. It didn't help the fact that my throat has not healed properly but I managed to pretend that it had, so that Alexis wouldn't notice.“Are you alright?” Alexis asked, “You look pale.-” “Oh, I'm fine. Why are you always concerned with my well being? It's not very flattering if you ask me.”“You fell unconscious, Aurora. I don't know why it keeps happening. Is there something you think I should know?” “No. Well… I mean yes. That is…. There's nothing that can be done. There's nothing l
