She was taken aback by his sudden statement. She halts right beside him, her brows shooting up in accusation. She opened her mouth to speak but her words failed her. She couldn’t defend herself even if she tried to. She scoffs and pushed the double door open. Aurora wanted to laugh at the scene but stifled it when Kendrix turned his attention back to her. He lets out a rush of out through his mouth before walking toward her. She hates how her body was responding to him with each step he took towards her. She furrowed her brows and fold her arms over her chest. He gives her a sweet smile and knew she wasn’t going to stay mad at him for long. She raised her head up to look at him because he was now standing in front her and he was insanely taller than her. He watches her expression—it might be harder to convince her than he thought. She looked really angry. It made him question his entire existence. What he did earlier this morning was unacceptable and he doesn’t blame her for bein
She walked through the gates as the enthusiasm overtook her. Her smile spread upon the sight of her home. She’d missed it—she’d missed everything and everyone. She can’t believe that she even misses her father after all the chaos they’ve been through. “This is my home,” she says to Auburn who was already exploring around. Kendrix promised to bring her but alas, he had a tight schedule he couldn’t escape. He asked her to reschedule her visitation but she refused. Auburn offered to accompany her and she was delighted. He didn’t like the idea but Aurora was strongheaded, more than he was. “You guys have a cave? Not fair. I want to see the inside.” She remotely heads towards the cave Aurora and her friends hang around in. “Auburn, focus! We’d go to the cave after I go see my mother. We’ll pick up Azra on the way.” She draws Auburn by her hand and they head towards Aurora’s house. She picked up her pace, making Auburn to protest of how fast she was walking but she couldn’t help it. Sh
Aurora doesn’t want to believe him. She doesn’t believe what her father had just told her but she knew he’d never lie to her. He’d not lie to her for attention or any reason. He’s always honest to her and says the truth whether it’d hurt her or not. This was one of those truth that’d hurt her. She ran her fingers through her hair and clenched it. “No, he didn’t do that. He wasn’t the one that vandalize my home. It’s not true, right mom?” She looks over to her mother and the look on her face says it all. “I thought Kendrix told you Blake was the one that broke in with some other unknown men and destroyed our farms. That boy is good for nothing. I’m glad you didn’t end up with him.” Anakin shakes his head in distress. Aurora stared at the blank space. She doesn’t even know how to digest this news in her head. She doesn’t want to. She doesn’t want to overthink anything but she was hell of mad at the both of them. She’s mad at Kendrix for not telling her the truth and she’s mad at Blak
He smiled down at his phone, staring at her phone number. He didn’t know when she got the phone but he was happy about it. It meant they could communicate more and he’d have a way to show how sorry he was and how he wants things to work out between them. He sincerely wants her to be part of his life. She’s a rare gem and also a key to his living. If things had end up badly today, he doesn’t think he’d make it to morning the next day. Having her number now is literally a huge step up—at least she’s bearing in mind to take him back even after the shit he has put her through. He can’t make that mistake again. Not after almost getting what he wants. He won’t let her slip away without getting everything that he deserves. He saved the number quickly and made it back to the road side where he parked Tyler’s car. He borrowed it to come check if he’d find her. He was so lucky enough especially having ears and eyes in the woods. He was told she’d be there at that time and they were right. H
“Aurora, we need to talk.” She threw her head back and laughed in disbelief. She should be the one saying those words to him but here he was standing as though he’s the victim. Looking at him in the eye made her feel more repelled than she already was with him. She’s not even angry—she’s disillusioned of how she really had hope on him. She almost thought he was different. “Oh yes, we do, because I need to know why you didn’t tell me he came here looking for me since I moved. And why you made him lose his job, his family.”Kendrix looked at her quizzically. She scoffed, rolling her eyes because it seemed like he was about to deny everything she just said. “His job? His family? What are you talking about…”She cuts him short. “Don’t act innocuous, Kendrix. You are not innocent. You never were…”“You need to calm down, Aurora. He’s just trying to get into your head,” he said, taking careful steps towards her. “You’re angry right now I know. But just calm down and I will explain everyt
Sometimes life doesn’t go the way you want it. You’d wish for something, hoping it would happen and even have a chance of having it but watch it wash away just when you were close to getting it. It’s the same with her relationship with Kendrix—she hoped it works out. She really wanted things to go smoothly and they’d have a happy ending but, it’s been a month now and here she was living in his mother’s house for the past four weeks. She only stayed back, to think things through and made her decision. She had made up her mind. She was moving back to Scuris pack today and try to forget Kendrix ever existed despite how hard that is. The first step to forgetting him is leaving where she’d see him every day. It’s crazy how you’d talk to someone every day, share everything, get into each other’s space just so one day you’d wake up and not even spare each other a glance. Aurora winces, not because of that thought but because she just pushed open the entrance door of Kendrix’s house. She
He lowered his head and shifts enough to open the door. She opened the door and stormed out without sparing him a glance. Aurora didn’t have to think twice on this. It was better for her to stay away from him at least until she figures out what she wanted. She had never been so muddled and dejected in her life like this. Everything was jumbled up and too much to take in at once. It feels like she’ll never get out of this mess—like she’s stuck in a clueless maze with no exist. It feels like she’s solving a puzzle that has no face. Kendrix has lied to her or kept secrets from her, or both. She finding it hard to give him a benefit of doubt about that. She had tried to see things from his perspective but it doesn’t match. The last piece of puzzle doesn’t match with the last puzzler. He has no reason to hide anything from her—he should’ve told her everything even if she was going to choose Blake. If he loved her enough like he said and trusted her, he wouldn’t have doubted her. Now, h
Her heart began racing the moment the car pulled into the parking lot. She could see an airplane landing and dropping off passengers. Maybe that was her plane, she thought, hurrying inside the building and gripping onto her suitcase. “Slow down, Aurora. I haven’t even hugged you goodbye.” Azzura hurriedly went after her. Aurora could swear she had forgotten her parents came with her. She halts and turned around to look at them. She was too jumpy and paranoid to even focus on the things around her. This was her first time traveling, her first time being on a plane, her first time interacting with outcasts alone and her first time staying far away from home. She felt overwhelmed by just staring at them for the last time. “I’m really going to miss you guys,” She mutters and engulfed them both in a nice hug. They both squeezed her, making her to giggle at the pressure. “Don’t you dare get pregnant, Aurora,” Azzura proclaimed, sniffing away the tears that were already gushing out. Aur
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
