Alpha Alexis POV Luna had moved back with me. It wasn't the same way it used to be. It just couldn't. Not after I knew that someone like Aurora was out there. I had forgotten what it felt like to be wanted. To want someone to care about you. She didn’t even care enough, if she did she wouldn't leave me questioning my worth and my whole existence. Was it safe to say that I was confused as well? My wolf and I knew that Luna wasn't our mate but with Aurora, I couldn't explain what it felt like. It was like being in a different part of the world where colors were brighter than I'd ever seen before. Like I was experiencing something new for the first time and the world's beauty was taking it all in without question. I didn't understand how anyone could look at the world and not see the way it should have been. It was as if Aurora was the missing piece of the puzzle to our entire world. The missing piece to the equation that I hadn't understood until now. The one part in place. It
Aurora’s POV Alexis was surprised when I said I wanted to join him for the vows exchange ceremony he wanted to attend. But I didn't miss the fact that his face lit up at my offer and the way he clapped his hands together in excitement as we waited for the time to pass. He was so excited about it that I thought maybe he would have a heart attack right then and there from joy. He kept jumping around and bouncing on his heels like an overexcited child with a new toy. I was almost happy for him- almost. But my whole mood changed when I found out that there would be other Alphas there— it scared the living hell out of me. Did it mean that Alpha Daniel would be there? My heart raced , my mouth went dry, and my palms started to sweat when I realized there was no escaping this. I knew it was too late to bail on Alexis and I had to come up with something real quick. When he suggested shopping for a dress, I jumped on the offer. I chose a black dress that came with a veil, my plan wa
Aurora’s POV“Are you okay? I am so sorry” His voice danced as he tried to get me back on my feet.I almost broke down crying.I wanted to get up and wrap my hands around him, I wanted to bury myself in his warmth as his strong arms held onto me.It seemed the most natural thing to do at that moment. My eyes were burning and I could feel hot tears pooling up in them.But I didn’t move a single muscle. The look in his eyes told me enough.He was worried about me.I looked anywhere else, hurt and relieved that he couldn't recognize me. But the hurt was on the higher side. It tugged at the bottom of my soul, making it burn from within.I hated myself for hurting him so much. But did I really hurt him? this question felt like a knife twisting itself deep into my chest.The pain came with all of my memories. I thought about our last encounter before it all came crashing down upon my shoulders like a boulder crushing me into an icy, unforgiving abyss. I remembered every second of the way he
Alpha Alexis POV“You need to slow down Aurora”,” I said as I tried to snatch her wine glass from her and at the same time not make it so obvious.She was already drinking too much and I didn't like it.“What do you mean… I am not drunk, I am fine” She giggled and then downed half of the wine in an attempt to prove it. “And anyway, who are you calling slow”, she said pointing a finger at me “You’re only making me dizzier”“Nobody called you slow Aurora” At this point I was glad that people were not paying attention to us since they were too busy on the dance floor. “You just need some air and to get some rest. Let's go home ”, I told her while I tried to help her stand up.“No!” she protested “You will not convince me by any means to go home with you”, she said and I almost had enough control over my emotions not to laugh when I saw her expression. Her pupils were dilated, her nose red and her cheeks all puffy. She looked drunk but somehow still beautiful despite everything.“Auror
Aurora’s POVHow do I describe that I woke up with a throbbing headache and with the sun threatening to make me blind, I had no choice but to roll over in bed and close my eyes until the throbbing subsided, at least for the moment. I couldn't even find the words to describe my hangover.I only knew it was bad when my eyes stung like they would explode. The thought of doing anything more than lying in bed made me feel even more nauseous. But I knew that as long as I kept my eyes closed and didn’t move, then I’d be fine for now.But I thought wrong and too fast.This is why saying no to alcohol was the best option, I finally understood that.At least Alexis had been there, and he brought me home.Sucker! I thought to myself as that fluttery feelingcame back and I let out an annoyed grunt.“SIA! Stop being funny” I yelled at her.“It has nothing to do with me, it's all you,” she retorted.This time instead of trying to suppress the urge to vomit, I actually felt worse than before, and I
Aurora’s POVSomething was wrong with Alexis. I don't know how to explain it but something had shifted and changed and it was just off.I didn't see him after I woke up, it was as if he had purposely hidden himself from the world.And even after days, I still didn't see him. It was starting to get really strange, and a little frustrating. And it seemed like we were having some sort of silent war going on in my head. I was also lost thinking about whether or not I should go looking for him.When I saw the chief guard, I could no longer hide it. “Where is Alexis- the Alpha” I quickly corrected.I think the chief guard was stunned by my question because he spent what I thought was an eternity staring at me with wide eyes before shaking his head in denial and smiling weakly. “Oh…” He muttered quietly. “The Alpha is in his room, he's just locked up somewhere, keeping himself busy…”I don't know if it was the way the chief guard said that without looking into my eyes or if it was his lack o
Aurora’s POVThe world just stopped.I don't know how to explain it further than I already have but it seemed as if someone held onto the time, making everything move in slow motion just like in books and movies and so fall didn't come, instead a pair of hands wrapped themselves securely around my waist, pulling me tightly against their chest. I felt arms encircle my torso, keeping me firmly in place as my head fell against the broad chest in front of me. After regaining my senses, I lifted my head up to meet his gaze which was staring intently at me.I don't know how the soup had managed to survive, and I don't know anything that had happened but it was almost like a miracle.When I stared down at my legs when I felt something warm running down my shin. I knew instantly what happened even before I saw the stain on the floor, the red liquid slowly flowing down under my foot only proved one thing, I had stepped on one of the broken pieces of glass.His gaze travelled down to the pool o
Aurora's POVI pushed my chair backward, ignoring the loud clang it made when it hit the ground, and left, leaving them behind. Sia my wolf was ready to rip off anybody and everybody’s hair, all of their heads, she growled viciously.I was going to leave. To run away and never return. That was the plan. But I couldn't bring myself to move my feet forward from my room, they stayed rooted to the spot, refusing to budge even when the urge to flee overwhelmed me. Every part of my body was yelling at me to escape, to run away from this place but I had seen worse with Alexis and I never thought of running away. But that was the past when I was ready to settle for less when I was drunk In love when I believed in loving him…I didn't want to remember that time, that stupid time that almost ruined everything, not almost, it ruined everything- it ruined me.Now, all I had to do is push it aside and pretend it never happened- I never cared.I wouldn't pretend like I wasn't bothered - a bit both
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
