Chapter 45 - Aurora's POV

Author: Rebekah Rose
last update Last Updated: 2024-02-24 02:08:58

I avert my eyes again as they all leave, only looking up once I’m sure Samael is the only one sitting with me.

He stands up, holding out his hand, which I take, and leads me over to the edge of the balcony. I rest my arms on the railing and look down at the sprawling city below, while Samael stands behind me, wrapping his arms around my body and holding me close to him.

We stay like this for a while, and I think about Kieran’s words; it’s not Eli I feel sorry for, but rather, his wife, who will either be left to raise a baby on her own or mourn a baby on her own.

I feel frustration creeping into my bones; I had the perfect plan, I was sure of all my victims, I was sure they deserved what I planned to do to them. But now, knowing the reason guards like Eli did what they did was because they were ordered to; ordered to by their Emperor… so he could find me. In a fucked-up way, I’m the reason Atwood died so brutally, I’m the reason all those girls were arrested and sent to be abused. It

    I wake up before dawn, wrapped in Samael’s embrace, his fingers trailing up and down my arm in a soothing rhythm. My heart thuds rapidly in my chest, the nightmare I had still fresh and vivid in my mind. Samael holds me tightly, as if he knows I’m not ok, and I nuzzle into his body, inhaling his scent and taking deep breaths to calm down. It’s been a week since I’ve had a nightmare, and I can’t say I’ve missed them. “Did you sleep at all?” I croak, my voice heavy with tiredness.“An hour or two maybe,” he hums out.“I wish I could survive with only an hour of sleep every night,” I laugh. “It must get boring with me just snoring away beside you.”He leans down to kiss me, claiming my lips with his tenderly. “Nothing with you is boring, my love. Even holding you while you sleep fills me with so much happiness.”I feel heat rush to my cheeks at his words, I’m still in utter disbelief that this man loves me, that the Dema king of all people is my destined mate, the second half of my sou

    When we exit the portal, we’re surrounded by trees and I’m immediately hit with familiarity. I look around; I spent almost two years living in this forest. There’s no time for reminiscing though, as we start walking straight ahead until the trees thin, and the town of Heart’s Content is visible.“Alright,” Samael says, breaking the silence, “you three stay here, Aurora and I will make our way to Eli’s house.”Adrian, Dimitri, and Kieran nod their heads without a word, and I can tell they don’t really think I should go through with this. I ignore them and focus on changing my appearance. Addie’s constant reminder that magic is about willpower comes back to me and I concentrate harder. I focus on my own blood pumping through my veins and feel the rush of power it brings me. I don’t feel any of the euphoria that drawing from the blood of others makes me feel; in fact, I feel a deep ache in my veins, but with Danika’s strength it’s a lot easier to manage, and after a moment, my appearanc

    I let out a long sigh of frustration and glance over at Samael who still looks utterly relaxed and at ease, which helps to keep me calm. “Yes, I’m a werewolf, but I’m also a witch. A witch who wants to save your daughter’s life, so let me save her!”“Prove it,” he demands, and I raise a brow at him. “Prove you’re a witch and I’ll allow you to see Sarah.”I feel my eyes narrow, “Allow me?” I sneer at him. “You know, I came here to kill you, right? Something I’m seriously still contemplating and would leave your poor wife to fend for herself with a dying baby!”My cold words hang in the air, having an immediate effect on Eli; he swallows audibly, and from the look in his eyes, I can tell he is at war in his mind. Fighting against his ingrained distrust of other species for the possibility of keeping his daughter alive; a difficult battle to fight, but one which I do not have time for.I close my eyes and focus on my appearance, Eli gasps in surprise as my hair changes in front of him, a

    I watch Eli for a moment; his eyes are glued to his daughter, so small, and so helpless, laying on a tiny cot. I knock gently on the window, and he jumps at the noise, a look of relief mixed with doubt crossing his face when he sees me.He walks over to the window, opening it slowly, and stepping back to let us through. I make my way to Sarah, listening as Eli’s heart beats faster and faster the closer I get to her.My own heart thuds as I look down at little baby Sarah; so pale, so tiny, and so close to death. Oh goddess, I hope I can save her. I reach a hand toward her, wanting to see if I can feel where the blood clot is, but I spin around at the sound of Eli rushing toward me.Samael is in front of him before he makes it halfway to me, and Eli’s eyes look up at him in terror, “Stay back. She is helping her,” Samael’s voice is so commanding, Eli backs away instantly.I turn back to Sarah, letting the magic that flows deep inside me break free. I place a hand on her chest, and I can

    Aurora fell asleep roughly an hour into our journey, her relaxed body pressed against me and held securely in my arms. My safe house is on the coast of Emberi City, a small little place overlooking the ocean and occupied by an elderly couple that I pay to live there, but who are currently enjoying a fully paid vacation to the Mer-isles. They don’t know who I am, but money talks, and it keeps them quiet.I like having a secret place in the kingdoms bordering mine; I have one in Crescent City as well, though I doubt I’ll ever need to use it after Aurora meets her father.I veer east and fly for another hour until I reach the coast. I hover for a few moments, waiting for the others to catch up, “We’ll land on the beach, there’s a secret entrance that goes up through the cliffs and into the house,” I call out once they get close enough.I plummet to the ground as fast as I can, knowing no human would be able to notice me at this speed. As soon as I hit the beach, I take off towards the bo

    I send the guys upstairs, while Aurora and I sit on the sofa and wait for her victims to wake up. She leans against me with a content sigh, “Was it difficult getting them here?”“It was too easy,” I chuckle. “I was hoping for a bit of a challenge, but the less inconspicuous we are, the better.” I kiss the top of her head, “Thankyou for agreeing to do both of them at the same time, I fear if we stretch this out for too long, the emperor will find out before we are finished. The judge’s wife has probably already alerted the empire of his disappearance, and the doctor is a busy man with a lot of patients, I’m sure he is being searched for already.”She nods, “I understand. I originally planned to kill these two quickly anyway,” she motions to the two unconscious men currently tied to chairs in front of us. “I won’t lie though and say I’m not a little disappointed I can’t carry out what I had planned for Gregory and Petra.”Every time she says their names my entire body tenses with pure h

    Theodoric finally notices he’s not our only prisoner and stares in confusion to his right, “D-dr. Maddox?” he stutters out. Aurora changes her position, so she is still sitting on me, but facing her helpless prey, her back resting against my chest, and we watch as Dr. Maddox begins to regain consciousness. Theodoric’s eyes roam from the doctor to Aurora and I, confusion written all over his face. “What is this about? Why have you taken us here!” he screams, his face turning white and his body shaking with fear. Aurora ignores him, still watching Dr. Maddox, whose eyes are slowly opening, “Wha- where am I?” he mutters to himself. Then his eyes snap open and he takes in his situation, looking down at the ropes binding him to the chair, glancing at Theodoric, then setting his eyes on me. “You!” he exclaims, staring at me with a mixture of anger and distress. I just give him a smile, and he finally looks at Aurora. “Is this the so-called friend you said wanted to see me?” He struggles

    I stare down at the now lifeless body I’m straddling, a slight sense of satisfaction filling me. I let out a long sigh, “that’s better.” I barely pay attention to Dr. Maddox’s wailing cries as I soak in the feeling of taking the life of one of the men who took mine. Memories of long, dark nights in the freezing dungeon come back to me, maybe I can finally move forward from the horrors of my time there. Though I guess only time will tell; my nightmares may have lessened since finding Samael, but what if getting revenge and having my mate is not enough to bury the years of built up trauma? What if I never truly get the pieces of myself back… back from the Stallards, back from that dungeon, back from the inn where I was defiled for the first time. What if I stay trapped in all those places, never able to move away from it all, never able to let go… My breathing hitches as memories flood my mind, destroying the cage I built for them while I was rotting in the dungeon, and leaving me gas

    “Eli?” I look down at his bruised, tear-streaked face, and my heart sinks into the pit of my stomach. “What happened to you?”The man in the fancy clothes laughs loudly, “I did. Well, actually, my men did.” He takes a step closer, and Samael’s hand tightens around mine, “Eli here seems to have broken one of our most serious laws; not only did he interact with a witch, but he went as far as accepting help from one.”I glare at him, “How can you even know that?” Looking down at Eli, I hiss, “You promised you wouldn’t tell anyone!” He just cries, his eyes faraway, like he’s not really paying attention to his surroundings.“Cassian, what the fuck is the meaning of this?” Samael growls dangerously, and I notice some of the men shifting uncomfortably, their eyes darting to Samael, then away quickly as if they are afraid to even look at him. Wait, he called that man Cassian… this is the fucking emperor.I grow a bit weary of the situation, and Danika’s senses go on high alert, as I take in a

    “Baby, would you come here please?”Samael joins my side, immediately snaking his arm around my waist as if he has been dying to touch me this whole time. I look up at him with a warm smile, “I think you deserve a moment with the man who enjoyed what was rightfully yours.” I turn back to Gregory, who stares at me pleadingly, and smirk at him.“As you know, this is Samael Dema, the vampire king. He’s my mate, the person created just for me by the Moon Goddess, Selene. Can you believe that daddy? A king, who worships the ground I walk on.”I trail my fingers along my mark on Samael’s neck, “See this, it’s a werewolf’s mark, this let’s Samael feel everything I feel, which can be both a blessing and a burden, because he feels my rage and my pain from the things I went through here, the things you put me through.”“My king,” I place a kiss on Samael’s cheek, “take what you want from him, just keep him alive for me.”“I thought you wanted me to only drink from you?” He asks in surprise. “O

    I look up at the low ceiling, relieved to see the hooks still embedded into it, they will make this much easier. While Petra is holding her bleeding leg and whimpering like a wounded animal, I walk to the shelves against the wall, and open the delicate looking box that holds their leather straps.Standing over her, I hold out my hand. “Get up,” I order, tapping my foot impatiently.Her tear-streaked face looks up at me sadly, “what happened to you Aurora? Where did my sensitive girl go?”“You destroyed her. Now get the fuck up.” I aim a kick at her leg, then drag her from the sofa, and pull her as she screams for mercy to the middle of the room, directly under the same hook I had been left dangling from many times.“You know I drill,” I say, remembering all the times I was in her position, “arms up, Petra darling.”She cries uncontrollably, lifting her shaky arms into the air, “Good girl,” I say, praising her like a child.“W-what are you going to do to me?” she whimpers, as I fasten

    A girl runs around the corner from the kitchen, her blonde hair askew. When she spots us, she opens her mouth preparing to scream. I use my speed to run to her, clamping a hand over her mouth, and stopping her from making a sound.She looks up at me with wide fearful eyes, and I realize she looks to be about my age… none of Gregory and Petra’s children are that old yet.“Are you…” I don’t know what her situation is, or why she is here, but I get the feeling it’s not good. “Do you need help?” I ask her, hoping she will trust me even though she has no reason to.My hand is still tight over her mouth, so she nods slowly. I glance back at Samael who just shrugs. Fuck. I wasn’t anticipating this.“I’m going to remove my hand, but if you make a sound, I will make you regret it,” I warn her.“*Goddess, Aurora, threatening her won’t make her trust you any easier,*” Danika scolds me.“*I don’t know who she is, what if I don’t want her to trust me?*” I argue back.Danika sighs, “*she’s just a s

    Goddess, it feels like someone is banging on my head with a hammer. I groan as I stretch out my body, refusing to open my eyes. Last night is a blur; after our bath Samael and I stayed up drinking with Adrian, Dimitri, and Kieran. I ended up proving my superior strength to all of them in arm wrestling matches. No one could beat me, even when Adrian and Dimitri teamed up against me; I was still stronger. Which in turn, made me pretty damn cocky and I ended up chugging the last bottle of vodka to prove how tough I was, only to end up puking all over the kitchen floor. I think Samael cut me off after that. “I’ve let you sleep as long as I could, but it’s time to get up, my love,” Samael’s smooth voice whispers quietly in my ear.“What time is it?” I mumble, curling myself up under the soft blankets.“Mid-morning,” he replies, and my eyes fly open.“Oh shit.” I jump out of bed, and run across the room to gather my clothes, feeling Samael’s gaze linger on my naked body. Once I’m dressed,

    The room goes quiet, the only sound is his blood dripping onto the floor. I stand up, looking down at the two dead bodies slumped over in their chairs, and a smile forms on my face. That was a lot more emotional than I expected it to be but also quite enjoyable. Holding their lives in my hands made me feel invincible, and I know that is wrong, but I’m excited to do it again tomorrow.I notice my shirt is covered in blood, so I remove it, turning to face Samael, who’s dark eyes are filled with a burning desire for me. It seems he found it enjoyable as well, judging by the bulge in his pants.“Take your clothes off,” I order him, and he obeys so quickly he’s a blur. I lick my lips as he leans his naked body back into the cushions, one arm stretched across the back of the sofa, the other gripping his enormous cock, sliding it up and down his length like he’s getting it ready for me.I remove the rest of my clothes, loving the way his eyes follow every move I make, roaming over my naked b

    I slip my elemental dagger out from its holster around my upper thigh and its sleek blade glints ominously in the dim light. When Dr. Maddox sees the weapon in my hand, his struggle against the ropes becomes desperate; he throws his weight against them with all his strength as if he thinks he has a chance of escaping. Well… who am I to say he can’t at least try?Without warning, I raise my fist, and bring it down on his right kneecap with enough strength to shatter the bone. The doctors piercing screams echo throughout the room, high-pitched and ending in a long, drawn-out wail.I walk behind his chair, and untie his ropes, he doesn’t even realize what I am doing until they fall to the floor. He looks up at me with teary and bloody eyes as I circle back around to face him.“I think that’s enough. Don’t you think you’ve had enough?” I say in a gentle tone.He sniffles, nodding hopefully. I smile at him, “Ok, go on.” Taking a step back, I motion for him to get up. “The stairs are just
