She took a right turn and walked down the pavement. She could see the lights blooming from the café. She exhales deeply as she shoved her hands into her jacket pockets.

This was the first time she was going out alone ever since she moved her. She always goes out together with Max even if they were just going down to the lobby. He insisted in accompanying her but she politely rejected. She wanted to get used to going out alone if she was going to start working. She can’t have him waking up by 7am just to take her to work while it as just a block away from their apartment.

She stood in front of the café window, and looked through it. It’s few minutes past 8 but it still seems busy. Ryan was talking to a girl as he hands her, her coffee. She laughed at something he said and placed her hand on his shoulder. He gave her a tight lip smile as he shrugged her hand off him before he turned to leave.

Aurora’s stomach churned as she smiled. Why was she happy that he just shunned another girl?

    “Here’s your Macchiato, hope you enjoy it.” That was her tenth order she had given out on her first day. It was almost noon, which meant it was almost her break time. She enjoyed every bit of her work, except the part where she has to stand for hours, taking orders and making it. She loves the light pink colour shirt uniform with the grew P-cap that matched her hair. It was barely visible to people—it meant no one would nag her about her hair except she takes her hat off. Aurora heaved a sigh, leaning her waist on the counter as she scanned around the room. It was Monday, the busiest day of the café and it meant people were piled up, placing orders and having their breakfast before work. Brooke leaned beside her. “How are you holding up?” She asked and nudged Aurora’s shoulder. Aurora looked at her and chuckled softly. “Better than I expected.”Ryan walked out of his office, answering a call. He looks at her and nodded, smiling before looking away and heading out of the café. That m

    She was a forgiver. Her heart was so large. She didn’t know how to give up on people, because she always believed the good in those she loved. It was until she was walked on so many times, she had no choice but to let go of those who burned holes in her heart. “Ryan wants to see you in his office,” carter said, peeping from the door. She snapped out of her reverie and looked at him. He raised a brow at her and tilt his head. “You good?” “Hmm? Yeah, yeah. I’ll be there in a sec,” she said and he nods before closing the door. She got to her feet with a sigh. The sigh wasn’t only because she keeps getting flashbacks of Kendrix’s face before he walked out, Ryan had somewhat been avoiding her for two days and now he suddenly summoned for her. It’s aggravating that he made her feel guilty for something that wasn’t her fault and for something she owes him zero explanations for. Ryan is upset with her because Kendrix showed up unannounced and he assumes Kendrix is her lover—his assumption

    It’s been four days since Kendrix showed up and she hasn’t spoken to Max about it. He never brought it up nor did she. But he knew about, because he was the one that led him here and gave him access to see her. It maddens her to think about it. He didn’t even bother asking for her opinion when he went ahead to make the decision for her. What if she really didn’t want to see Kendrix? Isn’t it obvious? She left home because of him and Max being the kind hearted person that he is, he led him here. She was mad at Max and Kendrix. She was mad at them both because they didn’t respect her opinion and how she feels. She was mad at Max more for letting Kendrix walk into her life as though it was nothing. She wasn’t going to lie to herself, deep down, she was relieved to know Kendrix still cared about her. But was still upset for what he had done and why they have split up. She was more upset now that he decided to come to her without reaching out to her first. It was past midnight and she

    Aurora rolled her eyes back in her head and smacked her lips. She looks at her screen again as they wait to hear her answer. She doesn’t answer immediately because she hasn’t gotten used to talking about a guy other than Kendrix with his sister, Auburn. She seems so cool about it but Aurora will never get used to it even after Auburn assured her that she doesn’t care—her happiness is what matters. “I mean, he’s hot… really hot. But I can’t say that I like him that way.” “Bull-crap,” it was Auburn that said that. Azra nodded through the phone. “Yeah, don’t expect us to believe those kinds of words coming out of your mouth. I mean, look at him again.”She shouldn’t have sent them a picture of him. Now, they won’t let her rest until she gives them every detail about him. “Have you guys kissed?” Azra asked enthusiastically, making Aurora to gape her eyes out as she gasped. “He is my boss.”“But he’s hot,” Auburn clarified. “Imagine spilling ice cream all over his body and licking it

    She sat there on the couch, watching him walk back and forth in the living room. He looks tensed and angry. He paused whenever he stopped talking to listen to what they were saying, then go ahead to pace around when he starts talking again. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and cursed lowly. She had never seen him this angry. But his reason for being this way is understandable. His mother got engaged without even speaking to him first. Shannon and Jim are not the same. They’re from two different worlds and he had tried to show her that since the day she started seeing him but she wouldn’t budge. “I never stopped you from seeing any of your little human girlfriends. Why do I have to be the victim?” The pain in her voice made his body weak. He slumps down on the couch with a sigh. It was a sigh of defeat. “Look, Max, I love you so much. And I appreciate that you’re looking after me—I really do. But I’m not a child, I know what I’m doing. Jim knows who I am and what I am. He accepts m

    Max spread the mat on the floor and arranged the takeaway he bought for them. Aurora was standing, looking at all his movements like he asked her to. She wanted to ask why they couldn’t use the table and chairs there but after wards, the mat seems to be better. He motioned her to join him and she did. She sat across him and once again watch him bring out the food he bought from the bags. “I bought you fries and steak,” he said and looked at her. She was smiling under the glowing moon. “You’re the sweetest.” She took one of the fries and tossed it in her mouth. She had her fries and steak while he only had salad. She knew he loves eating light in the night so, she doesn’t bother to ask him why. They were done eating in a couple of minutes and sat there in silence until Max clear his throat. Her heart jump in her throat because she doesn’t know what he’s about to say. His face looks harder than it did couple of minutes ago. “Aurora…” Her heart jumps again but she was careful to let

    She had thought of herself and all the men in her life. She had compared them to each other even though she doesn’t want to do that. She had stayed up all night, thinking of whom she wants to be with. It’s crazy how in just a year, everything had turned upside down. How did she even get into this mess at the first place?How did she let them get comfortable enough to come close to her and treat her the way they feel like? She was tired of everything. She needs a real relationship—a real mate, one that is loving and has no ‘best before’ date, one that sales on no matter the weather. And her mind keeps wondering back to Kendrix each and every time she imagines how her perfect mate would be. It wasn’t only because she had been with him the longest or because he was her first time essentially knowing a man. There’s something different about him that attracts her more to him.

    One year later… “Could this day get any better?” She squealed, dropping the phone on the table and jumping on his laps. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. “Hmm.” He inhaled sharply, wrapping an arm around her waist. “I love it when you’re happy. Makes you want to kiss me whenever you are.” She bites down her lip, running her fingers through his hair. “I also love it when I kiss you too.” She brushed her nose against his and kissed him again. She moved back, placing her forehead against him and looking at him. She placed a hand on his cheek and caressed it. “Remember Max’s girlfriend I was telling you about?” He halts for couple of seconds before nodding. “Well, he told me that he just proposed to her and she said yes,” she announced. His eyes gape with astonishment, followed by excitement. “That’s… that a really great news. Azra and Skye together with a baby, max finding love and we’re getting married in a week—this is all so amazing.” Kendrix proposed to h

    Paraphrasing She remained in her room alone for the majority of the time. Even when Max knocked or her mother arrived, she never opened the door for them. She wished for some privacy so she wouldn't have to deal with her painful, stalking thoughts. Three days have passed since she got into that pointless argument with her father. It's been five days since she last saw Blake. When she begged him to listen to her, he froze to his feet and sent a distrusting glance her way. Some people might believe he's rude for ignoring her. However, they both told each other lies. It is irrelevant. It doesn't matter that he misled her about that one foolish fact. She kept several secrets from him, but she did it out of concern for his safety. When she stood up, a number of packets of chocolates and candy bars fell from her thighs. Everything came from a gift box Blake once gave her to keep on hand for times when she missed him or felt worried. She took two days to finish the entire box. She had no

    ParaphrasedShe raised her head to look at him after glancing at their hands that were tightly clasped together. He kissed her lips while grinning at her. She leaned in for another kiss and added, "I love this about you." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist, "I love it when you do it too. She purses her lips while maintaining a constant smile. She encircled his neck in her arms as she simply gazed at him, planning their future together. Daydreaming about that felt particularly peaceful now that her father had finally given his consent for her to be with him. She was finally going to have a happy ending and her desire will come true. His black hair was curling, and she ran her fingers through it. She could grow accustomed to touching his hair and smothering his face in kisses before bed or whatever else they choose to do each night. How is your ankle doing? He queried. She laughed while rolling her eyes. "Blake, a month has passed. I feel more positive than before," she de

    He saw tears streaming from her eyes and wet her face. She’s beautiful. She should hear these words—everyday. Her eyes were like bright sunshine. Makes her face radiant, brilliantly shine. Her face was not carved, certainly not in haste. But slow—with patience and with grace. Sculptured, it shows. The words failed him. It failed him to tell her how much he loves her and how beautiful she was. His heart breaks to see her tears cascading down like that. It hurts him to hear her sob in the palm of her hands like that. She finally suppressed the tears and suck in a huge rush of air. It doesn’t do much to calm her but she slightly felt better. She raised her bloodshot eyes and settled on his. His eyes bore into hers and it’s the most enticing thing she’d ever seen. It’s pathetic how just a single gaze could make her vulnerable. She hates the she feels toward him. Especially in a situation like this. A situation where she just found out that he has a new mate. He has moved on. “Aurora…

    "What the fuck, Vincent?" Her vision was too fuzzy but she could hear loud and clear. Blake just walked in. She's saved. "Hitting her wasn't part of the agreement," he said. She's not saved. She's been betrayed. For the second time before the day even ends.She raises her bloodshot eyes up and looked at Blake. He not for once even look remorseful for turning her in to Vincent. His face looks careless and heartless. He doesn't even have a glimpse of sympathy or look apologetic for betraying her trust. Kendrix warned her about him. But that's not the point. The point was, she was about to face her death any moment. "Oh shut the fuck up. You've gotten your share, why the fuck are you still here? Aren't you going to look for a way to fucking leave this town and go to your pathetic girlfriend?"There was a pang in her chest. She wasn't even angry. She was just disappointed. Her eyes were still on him and he also never looked away. His just tensed at the mention of his girlfriend. He wa

    She kept running through the woods. She doesn't stop, even when the sharp branches cut through her legs. It wasn't as painful as her shattered heart. It's nothing like her bruised heart. He has completely destroyed her and she doesn't want anything that has to do with him ever again. She should've known this whole time. She should've known that the reason he has been rejecting her was because he had someone. She should've stayed home. She should've ignored him. She should've listened to her friends when they told her not to go after him. Her friends...Auburn...She covered for him. She told her there wasn't anyone. She told her that her brother loved her. She told her that they were fated mates. She told he's hers and they were meant to be. Max...He told her Kendrix was still into her. He told her Kendrix was the man for her. He told her she was going to have a happy ending. Aurora doesn't stop until she was in the incomplete building she used to hide in with Blake when they ne

    Paraphrase He leaves, keeping his head high as if he had never entered this killing zone that they call home and had never been terrified to death. While they continued to glare at him, he cast a quick glance about. He felt as though they were devouring him with their hot dagger, as if they could read his mind and gauge his level of fear. He was aware that they could hear his rapid heartbeat and may use that information against him. But because he represents their only hope for saving their pack and finally leading a better life, they dared not touch him and dared not even consider eating him for dinner. He always pondered his decision to assist the Lumena pack whenever he encountered them. He was fighting the werewolves because he desperately desired their approval. He occasionally felt embarrassed whenever he thought of her. When he thought back to her innocent eyes and the fact that she didn't have any thoughts—that she has no desire to harm him—maybe. But he needs to find them,

    "We have to come clean. We have to tell her—we have to tell everyone. Oh my God we did a bad thing," she lamented, hyperventilating. He approached her and grabbed her shoulder. She calmed instantly before he even spoke because his eyes just told her everything she needs to be assured of. "We are going to be fine, okay? We didn't do a bad thing... we just... we should've told everyone about us before it happened," said said calmly despite how dead scared he was of her father. She nods her head. "We should tell Aurora first, right? And see what she thinks. I mean, my father has been talking about finding a mate nonstop. I choose you."He smiled at her, his eyes searching hers. How could he be this lucky? "We tell Aurora first. I am so sure she'll approve of it.""I totally agree," she said, giggling. "Oh, I can't wait to go public. It's so hard to not hug you or kiss you the way I want while we're in public." She pursed her lips, making his smile to grow wider. "I love you, Azra." La

    "He's fine." His hands were on his waist as he stared at the distance. "They can't touch me, he's the most powerful Alpha in all the packs. His pack warriors are always guarding him even if he asks them not to. Vincent doesn't even have a chance to come near him."Aurora heaves a sigh even though her father wasn't talking to her. They were in the living room. She was in her room, pinned to the door and listening to their conversation. Kendrix was attacked, she heard her father tell her mother last night. She couldn't sleep after hearing that. She wanted to call him but couldn't. She doesn't even know why she didn't call. She was hell mad at him for disappearing after they've literally made out in the park, by the water fountain. It was the hottest kiss they've ever shared. She never knew how much she'd missed him until she felt his lips crushing against hers. His body against hers...Aurora breathes out hopelessly and made her way to her bad. She collapsed on it with a curse. "Stop
