Aurora’s POV“Get out!” Madam Margaret ordered, pointing at me with the index finger of her left hand. She didn't seem afraid anymore, she was definitely mad now , as I realised that she was staring straight at Alexis. For the first time since we got out of his car, I could see that there was something wrong with his eyes, something unsettling about the pupil, something unnatural that I wished I could see clearly. It frightened me and I backed away further.It felt as though they were communicating with their eyes locked in contact and I was frozen to my spot. The hairs on my arms rose as I watched Alexis walk towards me. He didn't seem bothered by it either, but I could see the sweat forming on his forehead and neck. He moved closer until he was standing in front of me. He was still looking at Madam Margaret as he spoke: “We are not here to cause any trouble”“Do I look like I care? ” The tone of her voice was mocking, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes.“No ma’am. No you do
Aurora’s POV“When were you going to tell me?” I asked Alexis as he had begun to drive.He didn’t answer immediately, and I watched the scenery blur past outside my window as we drove through town. “Come on! When? Why didn’t you say anything when you got back” His silence was beginning to irritate me.He glanced at me and returned his gaze to the road “Why don't we focus on getting back home first”“Alexis,” I said warningly, not wanting him to change subjects just yet. The car was quiet and I needed answers. “Don't you dare pull that card on me? Were you ever going to tell me? ” I persisted, my tone rising in anger with each word. He looked away from the road and then turned towards me.There was a moment of silence as he searched for words that would explain why he hadn't told me but I knew better than that. He wasn't going to say anything until he wanted to and I didn't have the patience to play his games right now. I could see it in his eyes, he was trying to gauge whether I woul
Aurora’s POV “Did she really say doom was lurking around me?” I asked Alexis when we finally got home and he told me. I was trying so hard to connect my thoughts with something other than my own misery that the conversation felt like a light bulb had gone off above my head. Maybe this would finally lead to some answers. Or maybe it wouldn't. But hey, at least now I knew for sure that there was more going on here than just an old house that hadn't been lived in for decades. “Yes, she did and she said something about the prophecies” “What prophecies?” “She didn't exactly specify, but she seemed to think something was coming and that you were part of it. I’m afraid I can’t give you much more information since she wasn't very forthcoming. She did tell me that a man will come after you ” He explained “It doesn't make sense. Who or what is supposed to happen in the future that involves you? And why is that so important?”He sounded a little irritated. “This is why I didn't want to tel
Alpha Daniel’s POVI decided to take a break later that evening to my favourite spot. Funny how it was still my favourite even though it held memories of the things I didn't want to remember anymore. It wasn't hard at all for me to get there, considering its location. A good walk would do wonders for clearing my head.It held too much of memories of her, of us, of everything she meant to me in this world and that. Her smile, eyes, hair, and voice were etched into the memory so deeply that sometimes I could feel them. My hands remembered every inch of her body. The way she felt. What I felt when she kissed me, what we did together. The way she screamed at me in the middle of our unruly passion . How we both got out of bed in the morning, smiling at each other like fools in love. She made me laugh. Made me happy. That was when things changed between us. I realized how one-sided it had been, she didn't feel the same way about me as I did about her. If she had, she would never have do
Unknown’s POVAs I watched her, something seemed different about her and it felt as though she told him something about me.She now had guards following her around everywhere. She was on constant guard, but I thought nothing of that. Her face always remained the same – a mixture of sadness, fear, hatred, and anger all at once – and she never showed any emotion whatsoever. That suited my purpose just fine.I thought it was pathetic, it was going to need more than guards to stop me from getting what I wanted, but that didn't mean it wouldn't work. There were other things, things that I could do with my abilities, things that would make this plan of mine work out perfectly well. It wouldn't be easy, I'm sure, but everything would eventually fall into place in my favour. The key to everything was right in front of my eyes and if I couldn't have her, no one else would.Even if it meant taking everything else away from her. The guards weren't going to protect her forever. She wasn't even s
Alpha Daniel's POV“You don't belong here” A strange man stopped to tell me on my way back.It was late and my eyes darted around searching to see if there were some other people around.But there was nobody. I didn't know where he came from and why he would speak to me when he knew perfectly well that no one but myself was going to listen. My head snapped back up in confusion.Was he a madman or something? The words 'don't belong here' were not just directed at anyone so what the hell was this guy talking about?“Are you lost, Sir? Do you need any help?” I asked him, trying to be civil. This stranger's behavior made him more terrifying than I originally thought. He had this sort of wild look in his eyes. I wasn't sure why but it scared me. I looked away quickly.My heart started beating rapidly as I felt the ground vibrating with his heavy footsteps approaching me.Then he stopped and burst into laughter. “You are funny. You have no idea who I am. I have no desire to scare you, thoug
Alpha Alexis POVI didn't know what I was thinking when I asked Aurora to walk with me but strolling through the streets of the town was more therapeutic than I could remember.It was the weekend and I was supposed to be resting from the stress of last week.I was restless.I couldn't close my eyes without being taken back to that horrific evening, I didn't need any fucking reminder, I had been there when I was seventeen and I didn't want to be there anymore but it seemed my demons could not understand me because they were ready to drag me into their abyss the moment I closed my eyes.They pounced on me without mercy and I was forced to take those pills again.I hated them, they made me feel sick and weak and strongly dependent on them. Without them, I was like a ticking bomb that could go off at any time.I hate that I need them.I tried thurried out of the house without my car and the only thing I thought I needed was my credit card and a face cap.I should have grabbed my shades as
Aurora’s POV“Can you stop doing that?” I groaned out frustrated.Why does he keep staring at me and making me flustered?He tilted his head questioningly. “Doing what?”“Staring!” I snapped impatiently.He chuckled and shook his head “Sorry, I didn't notice. It won't happen again”“Good” I whispered to myself, hoping he could not hear it but unfortunately, he still heard me.“Why not? Are you afraid I will read your mind?” he laughed softly, teasingly.Of course, he knew that was impossible, that I'd rather cut open my own arm before letting anyone read my thoughts, especially not him.But I had no idea how to respond so I simply mumbled ‘“yeah” under my breath. Why did I sa
