The Fragments Of Our Marriage An Ally
Aurora’s POVThe moment I stepped through the front door, I knew something was off. The air in the house was heavy with tension, and my father was pacing in the living room. His eyes snapped to me the second I entered, burning with anger."Where have you been?" His voice was sharp, slicing through the silence like a blade.I hesitated, not wanting to explain the whole ordeal with Zayn. But before I could open my mouth, my father stormed toward me."You went to the palace, didn’t you?" he spat. "Do you realize what you've done? Zayn came here, demanding to know where you were. You’ve embarrassed this family enough!"I stood my ground, refusing to let him intimidate me. "Zayn rejected me, Father. Why should I be worried about what he wants? He has no say over me anymore."His face twisted with rage, and for a moment, I thought he might hit me. "You're bringing shame to this house, Aurora. You think you can just go against Zayn like that? Do you think he won’t retaliate?"I clenched my

Aurora’s POVThe city felt like a breath of fresh air, even if it was overwhelming at times. After everything I had been through with Zayn, the constant control and manipulation, being here felt like a new beginning—a chance to finally do something for myself. The sounds of traffic, the energy of people moving in every direction, it was all so different from the quiet pack life.Derek had been a huge help already. He introduced me to some of his friends—people who had been in the city for a while and knew their way around. They were kind, smart, and more than willing to offer their support.We met up at a café one afternoon. I sat there, sipping my coffee as Derek talked about my plans to go to school for medicine. He explained to his friends that I was looking into applying for a scholarship."This is Aurora," Derek said, gesturing toward me. "She’s new to the city, but she’s determined to study medicine and break free from the pack life. She needs a little guidance with the scholars

### Aurora’s POVThe tension in the air was thick the moment Derek and I arrived at the pack. My stomach twisted with a mix of nerves and defiance. I hadn’t stepped foot here in what felt like ages, and yet it felt like nothing had changed. The weight of Zayn's presence loomed even before I saw him, but this time, I wasn’t coming alone. Derek was at my side, a comforting presence in this storm.We walked toward the packhouse, and with every step, my heart pounded harder. I could feel eyes on us, whispers following in our wake. I wasn’t sure if they were whispering about me, Derek, or both of us together. Either way, I didn’t care. I was done letting this place dictate how I felt.As soon as we reached the entrance, the door swung open, and there stood Zayn. His eyes locked onto mine first, narrowing in anger, but when his gaze shifted to Derek standing beside me, something dark and dangerous flashed across his face. His fists clenched, and I knew right away that things were about to g

### Aurora's POVThe rejection ceremony had finally arrived, and I was standing in the middle of the pack’s gathering hall, feeling like a spectacle on display. My heart pounded in my chest, but not from fear. I was angry. Angry that it had come to this, that Zayn had dragged me back here, that my father was still glorifying Zayn like he was some kind of savior. I wasn’t scared anymore—I was just done.Zayn stood across from me, tall and proud as always, his smirk plastered on his face like he had already won. I tried not to look at him, to not let the sight of him standing there with that smug expression get under my skin, but I could feel his gaze boring into me, filled with all the arrogance he had carried since the moment we met.Then he spoke."As all of you know," Zayn began, his voice loud and confident, "the moon goddess chose Aurora to be my mate." He paused dramatically, scanning the crowd like he was telling some grand story. "But it was a mistake. Clearly, she must have fe
Last Updated : 2024-09-13The Fragments Of Our Marriage Responsibilities
Zayn was sitting in his room, staring out of the large window overlooking the pack’s lands. His mind was elsewhere, far from the duties he knew he was supposed to be thinking about. Thoughts of the rejection ceremony and Aurora leaving with Derek still gnawed at him, though he refused to admit it. He scoffed at the idea that he could still be hung up on her. He wasn’t—he couldn’t be. The sound of the door creaking open pulled him from his thoughts. His mother stepped into the room, graceful as ever. Her face was calm, but Zayn could see the calculating look in her eyes. He knew what was coming; she had been circling this topic for days now."We need to talk, Zayn," his mother said, her voice soft but firm as she closed the door behind her. "About your future."Zayn turned to look at her, raising an eyebrow. "My future? What now?"His mother sighed and moved closer, sitting on the edge of his bed. "You’re the Alpha of this pack. You know what that means. You need an heir, someone to c
Last Updated : 2024-09-14The Fragments Of Our Marriage Reflecting
Zayn walked into the dimly lit restaurant, his eyes scanning the room for the woman his mother had arranged for him to meet. He wasn't excited about this at all. In fact, he was dreading it. But he knew he had to do it—to keep his mother off his back, if for nothing else.She was already sitting at the table, her back straight, her posture perfect. When she saw him, she smiled—a polite, almost forced smile that made Zayn immediately compare her to Aurora. Aurora’s smiles were genuine, lighting up her face and making everyone around her feel at ease. But this woman? She was the opposite.He approached the table, nodding briefly in greeting before taking a seat."Zayn, it's a pleasure to meet you," the woman said, extending her hand. "My name is Lila.""Likewise," Zayn replied, shaking her hand with little enthusiasm. As the dinner went on, Zayn found himself growing more and more annoyed. Lila was nitpicking every little thing—the food, the decor, even the service. She constantly sent

I sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly out the small window of the room I was staying at Derek’s house,The city lights flickered like stars, but there was nothing beautiful about them. The constant hum of traffic, the voices of people outside, the fast pace of it all—it was overwhelming. I thought living here would be different, freeing even, but instead, I felt like a caged bird, unable to stretch its wings.Blending in with humans was harder than I’d imagined. I thought since I barely shifted, I could slip into their world unnoticed. But I was wrong. Raised in the pack, I knew little of human customs and how they worked. My attempts at blending in felt awkward, almost embarrassing. The last time I’d even shifted into my wolf form was when I was eighteen. Zayn used to say I couldn’t survive in the big city, that it wasn’t a place for someone like me. I had hated how he belittled me, making it sound like I was incapable, but now... I wondered if he had been right.The worst part
Last Updated : 2024-09-16The Fragments Of Our Marriage Nauseous
Aurora’s POV I could feel the city spinning around me as I walked down the street. The sounds of traffic, the chatter of people, and the distant sirens all blended into a dull hum, like background noise to my internal battle. I told myself it was just stress, just the weight of everything—my escape from the pack, the rejection ceremony, and now trying to build a new life in the city. It had to be stress. Right? But deep down, I knew something wasn’t right. Every step felt heavier than the last. My head spun, my vision blurred, and the nausea that had been coming and going for days now hit me like a wave. I stopped at the corner, gripping the cold metal of a street pole, trying to steady myself. The dizziness swirled around me again, tightening my chest. “Are you okay?” Derek’s voice broke through the haze. I hadn’t even noticed him walking beside me, watching my every move like he always did. There was something so calming about Derek, something that made me feel safe even wh

The Fragments Of Our Marriage THE END
The day had arrived, my birthday and the grand opening of the hospital. It was surreal seeing my dream come to life in the heart of the pack. From the moment I woke up, the house buzzed with activity. Liv was running around giving orders, my mom was double-checking last-minute details, and Zayn’s mom was in charge of the kitchen, ensuring the food would be nothing short of spectacular. I slipped into a pale blue dress that hugged me perfectly. Zayn had picked it out, and though I teased him about his choices sometimes, this one was flawless. As I stood in front of the mirror, Elian and Aria burst into my room, shouting, *“Happy Birthday, Mommy!”* They each held small bouquets of flowers, their grins lighting up my morning. “Thank you, my loves!” I scooped them into a hug, my heart swelling. They were more excited about today than I was, bouncing on their heels and talking over each other about “surprises.” I kissed their foreheads and shooed them out to finish getting ready. Whe
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Big Day Ahead
The soft breeze kissed my skin as I stood on the balcony, gazing out at the bustling preparations below. Everyone was hard at work, ensuring everything was perfect for the hospital’s grand opening, which also happened to be on my birthday. Liv had flown in from the city just a few days ago, and her organizational skills were in full force, balancing between logistics and last-minute details. Zayn’s mom and mine had joined forces, taking charge of decorations and refreshments. It was like watching two generals at work, directing the army of helpers with precision and flair. As much as I trusted them, nerves still fluttered in my stomach. I gripped the railing, my thoughts racing between excitement and anxiety. This hospital was more than a building; it was a culmination of years of dreams, struggles, and hope. I couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong. Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me out of my thoughts. I gasped in surprise as Zayn’s deep laugh filled t
The Fragments Of Our Marriage Curious Aria
The ride back home was filled with laughter and endless chatter. Aria and Elian could barely contain their excitement as they recounted every detail of their time at Zayn’s house. “Mommy, did you know Daddy has a giant sword in his room?” Aria squealed, bouncing in her seat. “He said it’s for special fights! And oh! Grandma made me dresses—so many dresses! And I got to spin in them like a princess!” Elian, who was usually more reserved, chimed in. “Dad took me to the training grounds. He said I could be Alpha one day.” His chest puffed with pride. “He showed me how to hold a sword, too, but I’m not allowed to practice yet.” I smiled as I listened to them. Relief washed over me. The house that had once felt like a prison to me—cold, isolating, and oppressive—was now a place of joy and belonging for my children. Zayn had changed. Or maybe it was everyone who had changed, seeing him now through the eyes of Elian and Aria, who only saw their father trying to make up for lost time.By t
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Day with their Dad
Zayn’s POvThe sound of little feet pattering on the stone floors echoed through the house as Elian and Aria explored every corner of their new home. I stood at the front door, watching as Aurora crouched to say goodbye to them. Aria clung to her leg for a moment before bounding back toward the maids who were already doting on her with dresses and accessories. Elian, on the other hand, was already eyeing me, a mix of curiosity and excitement in his eyes. Aurora stood and turned to me, a playful smile on her lips. “Good luck, Alpha,” she teased. “They’ve got a lot of energy.” I grinned and leaned in, brushing my lips softly against hers. “I think I’ll manage,” I replied. Her gaze lingered on me for a moment before she whispered, “Have fun.” With that, she stepped away and headed toward the car. As soon as the door closed, Elian came to stand beside me, his little chest puffed out like he was already the man of the house. “What are we doing today, Dad?” he asked, his voice full of d
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Fresh Start
The day began like any other in my new office within the pack’s headquarters. I had been trying to adjust to this new chapter of my life, juggling motherhood, work, and figuring out where Zayn and I stood. My desk was scattered with papers, yet my thoughts constantly drifted to him and the way his presence filled the spaces around me. It wasn’t long before a knock sounded at my door. Before I could respond, Clara poked her head in, a wide grin on her face. “Delivery for you,” she sang, stepping inside with a beautiful bouquet of roses nestled in her hands. They were a deep crimson, the petals perfect and vibrant. “What’s this?” I asked, my heart skipping as she placed the flowers on my desk. I caught sight of a card tucked neatly within the arrangement. My fingers trembled as I opened it. Aurora, Would you do me the honor of letting me take you out tonight? I’ll pick you up at seven. Wear this and let me show you something special. -ZaynAlong with the flowers was an elegant, s
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Closed Chapter
The air inside the dungeon was suffocating, heavy with dampness and the faint metallic scent of rust. My footsteps echoed against the cold stone floor as I followed the guard. Every step felt harder than the last, but I couldn’t turn back. Not now. Not after everything. “He’s in the last cell,” the guard said, his voice flat. I nodded, not trusting myself to speak, and continued down the dimly lit corridor. When I reached the end, I saw him. Derek. He was sitting on a wooden bench, his elbows resting on his knees, muttering something under his breath. At the sound of my approach, he looked up. For a split second, there was a flicker of something in his eyes—surprise? Regret? I couldn’t tell. But then that twisted smile appeared, and any hope of decency vanished. “Aurora,” he drawled, leaning back against the wall as though he didn’t have a care in the world. “Finally decided to come and see me. Took you long enough.” I swallowed the lump in my throat, forcing my voice to remain st
The Fragments Of Our Marriage Everything happened fast
The day had finally come. The day I had been dreading and anticipating all at once. It was time for the move. The convoy of cars pulled up outside my house, and the kids were practically jumping out of their skin with excitement. They had never seen so many cars, and they couldn't wait to start the journey to Zayn's pack. Zayn, ever the gentleman, ushered the kids into the car with a smile, his excitement matching theirs. "Alright, you two, ready for your new life?" he asked as they scrambled into the car.Elian grinned, his eyes wide with wonder. "I can't wait to see all the wolves!" he exclaimed.Aria chimed in, bouncing in her seat. "And the food! Is it really as good as you said, Daddy?"Zayn laughed, looking at me with a knowing smile. "It's better than I can describe," he said. "You'll love it."As we drove to the pack, the kids kept asking questions, their curiosity endless. They wanted to know about everything—if Zayn had any other family, what his pack was like, and what to
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A New Chapter
The morning sun shone through the windows as I sipped my coffee, my thoughts a blur of excitement and nerves. I had just received a call from Zayn, and my heart was racing with a mixture of emotions. He wanted to throw a big feast—a grand celebration to welcome me and the kids into his pack. I didn’t know whether to be overwhelmed by the idea or to embrace it, but one thing was clear: it was a new chapter for us, and Zayn was eager to share it with the world.“ So see you soon ?” Zayn said and I smiled. “ See you soon …” I wasn’t sure how I felt about being the center of so much attention, but as I thought about it, it felt right. It felt like something we all needed—a fresh start, a new beginning. The kids were ecstatic, already planning what they’d wear and what they would say when they met the other pack members. Elian kept asking about the food, while Aria was excited to see the "cool wolves" Zayn had told her about. I put my phone down and stood up, my hands trembling slightly
The Fragments Of Our Marriage The Real Villain
It was time. There was no more avoiding it, no more sweeping it under the rug. Derek was behind all of this—the kidnapping, the fear, the betrayal. It sat heavy in my chest, twisting into something sharp and unbearable. I sat at the edge of the couch, staring at Liv, the words tumbling out of my mouth before I could even process them. “It was Derek,” I said softly, my voice trembling.Liv, who had been pacing the room, froze mid-step. Her eyebrows shot up in shock, but then her expression shifted, softening into something more resigned. “Derek?” she repeated slowly, like she was tasting the bitterness of the word. “He was behind all of this?”I nodded, my throat tightening as I recalled the events of the last few days. “He...he hid the kids in some caravan. Aria told me everything when we found them. No food, no water—he left them there to rot.”Liv sank onto the couch beside me, her hand over her mouth. “Aurora, I—” She paused, shaking her head. “I don’t even know what to say.”“I
