Aurora‘a POV: Klaus leaned close to me like a child straining for attention as he struggled to eavesdrop. I couldn’t keep my smile at bay as I brought my phone to my ear, and with a lift in my mood, I muttered ;“Hello?”“Hello daughter,” my father greeted back, and as soon as Klaus heard that, he stumbled away from me with wide eyes.Wordlessly, he pointed to me and then back at the phone, and I didn’t need any soothsayer to know that he was indirectly trying to confirm if what he was hearing was true. I smiled and nodded.“How are you?”“I am fine, Papa,” I responded, and then eyeing Klaus, I added; “…and you?”My father chuckled lightly. His deep voice rang through the phone and when he spoke some seconds later, I couldn’t help but notice how he sounded like he was in such a good mood.He said; “I am okay… Life’s good. How’s your mother, and your kids?”I contemplated telling him about my mother’s situation. I wasn’t sure I could talk to him about it yet, especially as I didn’t kn
Aurora’s POV:Savannah pushed through the door, even before being asked to. As she stalked into the room, I couldn’t help but notice how her eyes were trained on Klaus. She stared at him like he was food… and me? I was the pesky little nuisance.However, I was snapped out of my thoughts when she waved in my face, and with her eyes glued on Klaus’ face, she said;“I’ve come with a proposition,”I glanced up at her, panting and scoffing. I was pissed, not only because she was so arrogant but also because she had interrupted something. My body still ached from Klaus’ touch and now, I had the rage of an unsatisfied woman burning up within me.Klaus, who noticed my discomfort, smiled at me. He nodded and then, glancing back at Savannah, he spat; “What about?”“Us.”I had no idea what she meant by that. All I knew was that it made me uncomfortable. By us, what does she mean? I pondered over this information, but then, deciding to shrug it off my chest… for now, I turned back to the conversa
Aurora’s POV:“Josie…?” I found myself whispering when I reached the sitting room and found a frail woman sitting on one of the sofas.I still had my doubts and rightfully so. But then when I fully stepped into the room, I took a deep breath because I was finally consumed with an aura I have grown to recognize and love… it was something that even Josie never had.As if noticing my presence, my mother looked up. Her eyes were tired but they still held excitement in them… they held ‘her spark’. That was the last thing that should’ve broken my resolve. Something that should’ve had me running to her but I was still suspicious. For some not-so-unknown reason, I was scared. I was scared that this was another trap and that we had all been played with…again.I noticed footsteps behind me and from the scent that immediately wafted into my nostrils, I knew that it was Klaus. I didn’t even need to turn around.My mother seemed weak. She stretched out her hands to me, and seeing as I didn’t take
Aurora’s POV: I stepped out of the room with my mother following closely behind me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I had almost forgotten how weak she was. When it occurred to me that she might be lagging, I stopped, turned around, and smiled when I noticed that Klaus had his arm wrapped around her protectively while he pulled her alongside him. “Thank you,” I mouthed to him and he nodded. “You’re welcome.” He mouthed back. Upon seeing that she was doing just fine, I turned away and continued to walk through the airy corridors. We went down a few more flights of stairs and before you knew it, we arrived at the dungeons. The first thing I noticed when I stepped into the place today was how bad-smelling the entire place was. It was damp and dark and had this eerie feeling to it that I couldn’t quite decipher. Another thing I noticed was how the soldiers had changed the positions of the locked-up criminals, and now, Josie’s and Emily’s cells were just opposite of each other.
Aurora’s POV:Josie was revived after a brief administration of first aid and funny enough this time, she no longer looked fearless. The cockiness that she once exuded had now been morphed into panic and her pride deflated. Something about the way the color drained from her face made me feel superior, and I was glad that despite all her earlier sass, I had one thing over her… something that she hadn’t seen coming.She latched her fingers on my upper arm, gripping my arm with so much vigor. Her eyes were frantic when she asked; “He didn’t die?”“Of course he didn’t!” I snapped back, shaking my arm off her vice-like grip. One short look behind me and I saw that Emily was also shaking like a leaf. A few drops of tears had fallen from her eyes and her expression which was once cocky was now bland. She had a running nose and her face was so red and blotchy, one would think that she had recently been in a fight. I snickered. “Cat got your tongue now, mama?”“I’m s-sorry!” She stuttered, “
Aurora’s POV;“Daughter… mate?” he muttered again, and as soon as he said that, I rushed into his arms. Tears streamed down my face and my body pulsated with emotions that I couldn’t quite contain.I closed my eyes as I wrapped my arms around him, crying while he only chuckled. One of his hands was at the back of my head and the other was firmly wrapped around my back as if in a bid to keep me from falling. And it worked because my body shook so violently, that I feared I would fall.“My child…” he murmured over and over again, “I missed you,”“I missed you too, papa!” I cried out.It wasn’t until after a moment that I noticed that my mom wasn’t close to us. She wasn’t even with us at all. I slowly turned in her direction and was shocked when I saw that she was still in place. She was still on the floor, where she’d fallen when she saw him at first. Tears streamed down her face and she did not attempt to wipe them off. I carefully broke out of my father’s embrace, went over to help h
Aurora’s POV:With a smile playing on my lips, I brushed my hair in front of the vanity. Klaus on the other hand was behind me, on the bed, and he was busy playing with the kids.For the first time in a long time, seeing my full silver hair made me sad. I missed its old color, I missed how dark and rich it used to look. Carefully, I combed through it with my eyes focused on nothing but the ashen strands that almost looked like they were bleached by dye produced only by the moon goddess.However, I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt something gently brush against my arm. Slowly, I turned in its direction and smiled when I noticed that it was Klaus and that he was now standing behind me with his fingers drawing invisible patterns on my arm. His eyes were soft and there was an almost pitiful smile on his face.“A Penny for your thoughts,” He drawled and I smiled before I ducked my head, shying away from his stares.True, I’ve lived with him for a while now. I’ve even had kids wit
Aurora’s POV:However, our loud laughter soon ceased. I wrapped my arms around Klaus and this time, we didn’t bother to get on the bed before devouring each other’s lips. His eyes were glazed as his hands ravaged the length of my skin and somehow, I found that weirdly satisfying.I loved that I could do this to him. That I could arouse him, make him want me… and that I didn’t need to do much before spiking such reactions from him.His tongue found its way into my mouth and just as it did so, it swept the entire length. This time, he was gentle, and he watched where he was headed. He carefully laid me on the bed while kissing me the entire time. We were halfway into the kiss when suddenly he broke away and began to walk towards the mini fridge by the table.“What’re you doing?” I croaked out, with my voice thick with arousal and in response, he winked at me without saying a word. My curiosity soon turned into frustration and in something akin to anger, I sat up, gawking when I realize
