Aurora's POVI don't know what that was, I couldn't tell if it was a dream or if I imagined it.I wasn't sure about anything at all but whatever that was, it sent shivers down my spine and made my knees shake. And I think my eyes were open. But I can't remember anything after... that. It felt as though someone was watching me, listening to me. Like someone could see through my skin, and hear my thoughts. The room was cold, colder than usual, the wind had picked up again. It blew hard like the wind itself wanted something from inside me. I shivered involuntarily, trying to wrap myself in my blankets for warmth but they didn't do much good anymore.As the moon reflected into my room, I stood up with shaky hands and moved towards my window, pushing back the curtains. My breath hitched when I saw it, and my body trembled violently. What is that? I thought. Why am I seeing this? I closed my eyes tightly but I knew I wouldn't be able to close my ears to its whispers. At the farthest end,
Unknown POVMy plan was to mess up with her head until she couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams any more. That would get rid of her and maybe give me something in return, I don’t know, but something useful.So I watched as my daughter chanted spells , her fingers moving through the air as if they were guided by some unseen god. It was mesmerizing, so much effort and focus being put into this spell. My daughter’s hair was loose today, long and dark and falling over her shoulders in a thick curtain.When she moved closer to me, I could see how tired she looked. Her face had become pale, almost gaunt. Her eyelids drooped and there were dark circles under them, and that’s when it struck me that maybe this wasn’t a good thing but we had too many unseen enemies and it just made sense to keep her strong, to make her protect herself
Aurora’s POVThe urge for solitude, to take a stroll away from this castle and the surrounding grounds was strong today, especially after seeing how beautiful it was outside - with the sun setting in making everything look even more like art than usual. The sky was cloudless, only the faintest traces of fluffy white clouds drifting lazily across the horizon. It felt like there were so many possibilities out there in the world, where you could explore without any fear of being caught by some unsuspecting predator. And not just any unsuspecting predator. One that had been chasing you as prey for days now. No, for weeks.He had finally found you. You had never seen him before -yet you wanted to pretend that he didn't exist. That it wasn't in your mind, even when you knew it wasn't true.That was exactly how I felt.As I snuck out to the park that was close to the castle, I noticed that there was no one around. There wasn't a soul near, or anywhere close by.This is unusual... but not
Alpha Daniel's POVShe must have dozed off from all the anger and drama that was she was trying to keep inside her.Her mouth was partly wide and I chuckled at how adorable she looked. Sometimes she was feisty and sometimes she fragile.Suddenly her eyes slowly fluttered open as if she felt herself being gently shaken. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and squinted them to try and focus on what was happening.And she realised that she was still in the car with me.Her blue eyes met mine and I drew in sharp breaths, taking notice of their colour. They were deep and captivating, and they gave everything a certain mysterious quality I couldn't -can't explain.My wolf howled inside of me.“We are here” I forced myself to say. Turning my attention from her eyes and lips.I would have kissed h
Aurora’s POVI couldn't exactly explain what was going on, but I knew Alexis had suddenly begun to include me in his plans, maybe it was because he was trying to make up for his outburst or maybe it was another reason but whatever it was, I accepted it wholeheartedly.Only because I didn't want to be alone anymore, I couldn't shake away the feeling of doom and darkness that was lurking around and looking for who to devour and I couldn't tell him about it either.“We are here” his voice rang through my head and the words reverberated inside my chest.I had never felt so scared in my life. I looked around at the crowd of people on the streets. The air was cold and humid as though it wasn't even September yet.I looked up and the stars were scattered across the sky, almost like they were just hanging out there to watch us. The moon hung over everything like a big crescent moon that glistened with silver liquid.“You are on a date, I can't believe it” Layla my vampire's side whispered in
Aurora’s POVThe sexual tension that lingered in the air wasn't discrete. He caught me red-handed and I couldn't bring myself tilook away or hide the fact that I was staring at his lips on time.But what I wanted to do at that moment was to pretend like never none of it happened.“I think we should head back” I finally broke the silence and my gaze as well looking everywhere else but his face.“Why? We just got here”“We didn't just get here Alexis, we have been here for a while and I want to go back home” y tone was more serious now but it was more of the fact that I could feel my face heating up as the reality of what we- what I was about to do got dawned on me. My hands began shaking uncontrollably and it was difficult to hold myself properly as my heart raced inside my chest.He cleared his throat and nodded. “You're right. It's late”He helped me get back on my feet and I tried not to pay attention to the fact that his hand lingered in mine, a little.As I stumbled on the uneven
Alpha Alexis POVShe had put in more efforts into avoiding me more than before. She seemed like she didn't want to be around me at all.Why was she fighting this?We both knew what our wolves wanted, yet she did a great job in acting oblivious to it.She sat beside me in the car, but she leaned far away from me . I could feel that she was scared but she tried to hide it by staring out the window, pretending to see nothing. Her hand was shaking slightly and when she clenched it hard, the fingers started shaking, like she needed to use every ounce of strength to control it. We hadn't spoken since the portrait incident, she did well to keep her distance and I kept mine too. Throwing myself into work, the pack, and everything that came with it.From a peripheral peek, I saw her drag down the end of her dress like it was supposed to miraculously increase the length, and she tried repeatedly. I almost smiled at how adorable she looked, I had chosen the short gold armless dress on purpose.
Aurora's POVI saw a girl, she was about 5’2 and she had a black cloak around her neck and her eyes were red glinting with malice and it made me shudder, I didn't know what happened but I felt that something bad happened because she wasn't happy, she was angry for some reason. Her lips moved and there were words but my hearing didn't seem to work so well so I just heard the words “blood” and “death”“Who are you?” My voice echoed through the woods, it looked awfully familiar.“I have been waiting Aurora, we all have been waiting, it took you forever”What did she mean by we all have been waiting? Waiting for what? For who?It was only when a group of men all charged toward Alexis whom I hadn't noticed until now and he fought them like a wounded lioness trying to protect its cub. He dodged each attack that came his way effortlessly, swinging his claws as needed and slicing through flesh and bones.They all tried to overpower him by attacking from multiple angles but none of the blows r
