Running to her room felt like running straight into hell. From the moment Aurora stepped out of the kitchen, laughter followed her, echoing in her ears like the sound of her misery.

Finally reaching the small, cold confines of her room, she quickly locked the door behind her. She stumbled toward her bed, collapsing onto it like a broken doll. A soft whimper escaped her lips, but soon it grew into heavy sobs, loud and raw, breaking the eerie silence of the room.

She was utterly alone. The only person who had ever loved her was her father, and he had been taken from her when she was just a child—killed by vampires during one of their brutal raids.

“God, I’m so tired... I’m so tired of living,” she whispered hoarsely, sliding to her knees. Her sobs grew heavier, racking her small frame as the weight of Kael’s lies pressed down on her. Why had he done this? Why hadn’t he just killed her outright? Keeping her alive seemed to be nothing but a cruel game to torment her.

    "Sorry for not saying it earlier, the men we sent were disguised as rogues. Their scent was hidden away from the reach of the vampires, so they cannot discover their real identity," Beta Mark explained.He knew how ferocious King Draven could be. The vampire king was a wild beast, fiercely protective of what was his."Good, very good. So, we have enough food for the sacrifice to the goddess and the celebration for the full moon," Alpha Rowan said, relieved that the pack was safe from the hands of King Draven."Yes, my king. Concerning the coronation of your son to ascend the throne and rule after you... I don't think he will be capable enough to take over. He does not have a strong enough hand to govern the people. He only shows empathy to those he hates and love for those he favors. He will be a partial king," Michael, one of the quiet elders, remarked. He had been observing everything that happened in the Red Moon pack.A loud growl echoed through the room, drawing everyone's attent

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   The Mate Rejection.

    It was something she never wanted to happen now. Not now, never, not in a situation like this. As she perceived the heart-breaking scent of fresh dust and blueberry, she realized she had found her mate. She was too shaken to know who it was. So scared, so afraid. She was not yet ready to be thrown into a mine."Seems the goddess has blessed you with a mate," Tanya said, seeing the way both mates reacted to their new discovery.Aurora mentally shook her head. This was not a blessing, as Tanya had stated. It was a curse. A curse for her to have a mate, because it was the beginning of her hardship. She would rather remain mateless than be mated to anyone in the pack."Look up, Aurora. Why don't you look up to know who your mate is?" Tanya said, a smile appearing on her face. Aurora knew she would have to look up, and so she did. Looking up at her mate, the one who would make her or break her. Who she saw was terrible. She despised who she saw. It was no other person than Kael Vincent! Di

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   The Vampire Sanctuary.

    Back to the present Day.Aurora opened her eyes, her eyelids heavy. All she saw was darkness clouding her vision. Slowly, she blinked, and as her eyes adjusted, she stared at the ceiling. The sight was strange to her. Was she perhaps in a better realm, free from Kael and her pack?She looked around, capturing every detail around her: a wardrobe, a large screen TV, a beautiful floor. Then she looked up and saw a large portrait on the wall. A man. Not just any man—he was handsome. His eyes were pure dark, no trace of white, and they seemed to dare her to stop staring.An indescribable feeling swept through her body, something she couldn’t understand.Then she heard a voice—a man’s voice. It was so high-pitched that she could hear it from where she lay. No doubt, he was shouting at someone.Suddenly, the door opened, and a man stepped into the room, followed by a woman."Do not tell me what to do, Mother," the man snapped. "Thanks to the gods, Asama survived my bites. But just because sh

    "Send me Kane, I need information about who those damn fucking werewolves were," Draven said, walking towards his office."What are your plans?" Carlos asked, following after him, but not failing to send Kane a message that the King demands his attention."I need to know who those damn motherfuckers are. Who dared lay their disgusting hands on my mate? She is so damn scared of me, so damn scared of her mate, and I feel like ripping you apart if you keep asking me those questions. Now where is Kane?" Draven asked, walking towards his chair. He slumped down in it, cradling his head in his hands. He had a damn pounding headache, but he didn’t care.Carlos kept silent for a while, not knowing what to say. Obviously, he was scared of the King’s last statement. Without being told, he knew the King would no doubt exterminate his words."He’ll be here in a short while," Carlos said, standing a few feet away from the King.

    Aurora looked around the room once more. The vampire had given her time to get used to her environment, which she was most grateful for. The flashbacks of what happened the previous night kept hitting her head.Finding out Kael was her mate, the rejection, escaping from the pack, the attack from the rogues—her heart skipped. Those weren't rogues. She could clearly remember that they were her pack members who had come attacking her in full force. At first, their scent had the distinct smell of her pack, but when they had entered the vampire's land, they smelled like rogues. Even though she couldn't grasp their human faces when they had come attacking, she knew they were her pack members. They belonged to the same pack, but why had they come, why do they want to kill her by attacking her on the lands of the vampires? Does Kael knows about this?It was an abomination for any creature to enter into the lands of the vampires—or any other creatures—without permission, and she wondered why s

    Lilith was dumbfounded at the question thrown at her. Her son had attacked her because she had sent a male doctor to treat his mate."Mother, I asked you a question," Draven said, glaring at his mother with full anger."Till you leave my hold, will I reply to you," Lilith said. She was stubborn, with pure blood running through her veins. She would not allow her son to mistreat her. Never. She was the queen, and she never wished anything evil toward his mate."Fine, I’ll do as you wish, Lilith. But I would love to hear your answer to my question," Draven said, freeing his mother from his hold. Lilith glared at him with anger."Your mate needs to be free with everyone. She needs to learn how to accept the entire pack—both male and female. She needs to learn how to be bold and get past her fears or whatever past she had," Lilith half-screamed. She knew if King Draven continued treating his mate like a weakling, she would never get past her fears. She would be a miserable she-wolf, living

    "It is quite obvious you do not like the king's mate," Lilith said, staring at Doctor Bella, who refused to meet her gaze."Why would you think I harbor such feelings towards the king's mate, Queen Lilith?" Bella asked, glancing at her briefly before returning to her task."Because it is painfully obvious. You love the king. The way your eyes dimmed with sadness when I mentioned the king's mate was a sight I couldn't overlook," Lilith said, her voice challenging, daring Bella to deny her accusation."I don’t know what you’re insinuating, Your Majesty, but my concern lies solely with the well-being of the king and his mate," Bella replied, her tone guarded, wary of saying anything that could provoke the queen mother."Then why did you rush here the moment the king summoned you?" Lilith questioned, watching as Bella removed the old bandage from Aurora's leg, applying ointment with meticulous care before securing a fresh one."Queen Lilith, the king requested my presence, and I answered

    Kael stood in his room, listening to the guard he had sent to search for the omega. Aurora had been missing since the previous night, and he knew why. He was the only one who had any idea what he had done to her, and he planned on keeping it that way. He couldn’t risk tarnishing his image over a worthless omega."The omega is nowhere to be found, Alpha Kael. We have searched every corner of the pack, but she could not be located," the guard said, bowing deeply."Hmm," Kael murmured. "So you’re telling me that the omega has escaped from the forest, and no one has any idea where she has gone? No one saw her leave?"Kael walked to his bed and sat down, his tone calm but carrying a sharp edge."Perhaps the omega ran away out of heartbreak," Elizabeth said as she approached him, sitting on his lap. "After all, who wouldn’t be devastated after being rejected by their mate in front of the pack?""You’re right," Kael replied, a smirk playing on his lips. "But I hope she doesn’t bring any harm

    The door creaked, the noise making Aurora’s heart leap into her throat. She darted behind the wall, her breath shallow. These were vampires—they could hear even the faintest sound and track her scent with ease. If they caught her, they would drag her back without hesitation.But then, a thought struck her. Why hadn’t they killed her already? Vampires and werewolves were sworn enemies. A shiver ran down her spine. Perhaps they were simply waiting for the perfect moment to end her. She shook her head. No, she wouldn’t let them have the chance. If she could find the border separating this pack’s territory from the barren lands beyond, she might just have a chance.Cautiously, she crept out from her hiding spot. The mansion was surrounded by thick woods—perfect for her escape. She moved quietly, darting between trees and bushes, her senses on high alert."Inform the council that Elder Eric’s daughter will be punished in front of them all in the Civil Hall for insulting me and my mate.

  • The Dark Lord's Mate.   Escape and Resolve.

    Slowly, Aurora strode to the door, arranging her hair. She refused to let fear control her—not fear of the guards or any man she encountered on her way out. Kael had made her believe all men were dangerous lunatics, and she had fallen for his trap. But it wasn’t entirely her fault; his convincing rhetoric had once seemed absurd but now rang hauntingly true.Her breath hitched as the memories of the previous night crept in. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop thinking about it—being violated, abused, and then rejected by the man destined to be her mate. He had taken her last shred of pride. All she wanted now was to run far away, even if it meant fleeing to her death.Aurora inhaled deeply, shaking her head to clear the dark thoughts threatening her resolve. "No," she whispered fiercely. Lucas would not ruin her mission. He would no longer have power over her through the horrors he inflicted. She would grow stronger and seek vengeance on him and the entire Red Moon Pack. Th

    "Do not display such kind of behavior here, Asmada Ezra. The king decides whom to choose," Elder Eric said, staring at his daughter before turning to King Draven and bowing deeply."Long live the king. I apologize for my daughter's unbecoming behavior. I will ensure she is punished adequately," Elder Eric added, his face tightening with each word he spoke.King Draven smiled devilishly. The elder's willingness to discipline his daughter amused him. He had not expected Eric to be so deferential—instead, he had anticipated outrage, especially given how close he had come to ending his daughter's life. But Lord King Darven is very wary because he knows the Elder Eric's games and he was not ready to play games with him."What punishment do you intend to give her? Your daughter dared to reach for a position that is not hers and insult my mate. She must face consequences. So, tell me, what punishment do you deem fit for her crimes?" Draven asked, his tone laced with mockery as he observed th

    Aurora stared at the food in front of her, the enticing aroma wafting into her nostrils. She inhaled deeply, the scent was mesmerizing. She had never seen such a feast in her life. Back in the Red moon pack, food was a luxury she barely enjoyed."The doctor has prescribed some medicines for you. Afterward, you must eat so your body can heal and regain its strength," Lilith said, observing Aurora's reaction. The she-wolf's expression stirred pity in her, though Lilith rarely entertained such emotions."Have you never had a meal like this before?" Lilith asked, her gaze softening as Aurora glanced sideways at her."I only ate dried bread and leftovers that fell from the Alpha’s table. I’ve never seen anything this beautiful, let alone tasted it. It feels strange even thinking it’s meant for me," Aurora said, her voice tinged with disbelief.Lilith growled softly, displeased by the injustice. She wondered about Aurora’s role in the pack but chose to keep her thoughts to herself."Eat bef
