Aurora’s POV‘Whew!’ I breathed out in relief. Michael’s presence around me had been stifling, to say the least. Slamming the door on him had been oddly satisfying. Had I been too rude? Yes, but it wasn’t like he didn’t deserve it. I was tired of his ever-changing demeanor, it was so difficult to determine when he was being genuine. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted him to be genuine anymore. I had truly accepted that we could never be together regardless of our history as mates. Now, I couldn’t wait for this event to be over so that Michael would leave. I just hoped he wouldn’t cause any trouble for me before he left. I lay on my bed thinking about the summit that would take place tomorrow. I was still a little nervous about having to meet other Alphas. I had not been able to shake off the feeling of not belonging yet. I had a severe case of imposter syndrome. ‘I could really use a dose of Vitamin Jasmine right now’ I thought as I picked up my phone to call her. I was very disappoin
Klaus was starting to get antsy. He had noticed Aurora walking out of the hall almost an hour ago, but he hadn’t seen her ever since. She had looked tired before leaving and he had half a mind to follow her then but he had been cornered by an Alpha wanting to speak with him about some business deal. He noted that Aurora’s father was still at the party though. Maybe Aurora had retired to bed early, she didn’t seem like the type to enjoy partying anyway. Yet, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was not quite right. Or maybe he was just being paranoid, he was still new to the mate stuff after all. He took a quick survey of the hall and grimaced when he realized that Michael, Aurora's ex-mate, was nowhere to be found either. He took a final sip of his drink before mindlinking Ian to take over in his stead. When he stepped out of the hall, he paused to sniff the air. There were lingering traces of Aurora’s scent all around him but it wasn’t strong enough for him to pinpoint her
Aurora’s POVI opened my eyes with enormous effort. Everything around me was fuzzy and I couldn’t even understand what was going on or where I was. It took several minutes before I realized that I was in a car. A moving car. So far, I could only move my eyes slightly, the rest of my body was dead weight. I couldn’t even turn my neck to see who else was in the car with me or where I was going. I couldn’t recall getting into a car. The last thing I remember was being at the summit. Then I went to the balcony. Yes, I remember stepping out for fresh air. And after that? I remembered talking … I had been talking to someone. But who? Dammit! Why couldn’t I remember who I had been talking to?The memory was right there but just out of reach. Each time, I was close to remembering, my brain just blacked out. “And what had happened after that?” I tried again but still… nothing! I wanted to groan in frustration, but just like the rest of my body, I was unable to move my mouth. “A-aurora?” The
Aurora’s POVWhen I opened my eyes again, I was back in the Blood Moon Pack. Laying down on the bed in Klaus’s room to be precise. The room was dimly lit but I could make my way around easily. I remembered how I had been paralyzed previously and I immediately sat up to test my strength. I was back to normal! Okay, good. Now let me try getting up. I got off the bed with surprising ease. Thank goodness! I never wanted to feel paralyzed ever again. It was like being trapped inside a room and only being able to watch the world through a small window. “Easy there, tiger” I heard Klaus say from somewhere in the room. I had been so concerned with my mobility that I didn’t even realize he was in the room with me. “Um hi,” I said. In the next instant, Klaus was standing right next to me. “Aurora.” He said cupping my face towards him. “Are you ok?” He asked. “Yeah, I’m fine now. Thanks so much for coming right when you did” I blurted out. “You can move around already? Hmm,” He said thought
Aurora’s POV:Desire exploded in my brain as our lips met in what I would describe as perfect harmony. I welcomed the warm sensations that spread through my body as his tongue invaded my mouth, exploring every inch of it. My lips parted even more, giving him full access. If it hadn’t been for his hands holding me, I was sure I would have collapsed because my legs felt like they were made of jelly. With every second that passed, I could feel my senses evaporating until the only thing left of my emotions was need. I needed more. I needed Klaus to continue kissing me and never stop. The feel of his lips against mine was befuddling, and I could only think about how right it felt. I let out a muffled moan as one hand grabbed my right breast and fondled it gently. His thumb rubbed around my nipple in gentle circles, sending small waves of ecstasy through my skin. I nearly cried out in protest when his mouth slowly tore away from mine. Whereas I was a panting mess, greedily gasping for air
Aurora’s POVI woke up with a lazy smile. It must have been around midday when I woke up because the sun was shining very brightly through the windows. I stretched my limbs while thinking about how I hadn’t had such good sleep in a while. Looking around, I realized that this wasn’t my room and I gasped when memories of the night before came crashing through my brain. Thankfully, I was alone in the room as I relieved the most erotic night of my life. Goodness! Had I really let Klaus do all those things to me? And to think that I had been screaming for the most part. Oh no! I hadn’t stopped to think about how high my screams were, everyone in this castle must have heard my moans. In fact, I hadn’t been thinking at all last night. It was like I had transformed into some type of junkie whose addiction was a certain egoistic Alpha. A blush crept through my cheeks as I thought about how willing I had been last night. I practically had begged for him to sleep with me. ‘And he refused’ I re
Aurora’s POV“Oh sorry” I apologized immediately. “It’s fine,” Savannah says but her tone makes it seem like it’s anything but fine. She gives me a once-over and scrunches her nose. “Yeah,” I say. This was awkward. I started to walk away when Savannah called me back. “Aurora?” She looks like she’s debating whether or not to speak. “Yeah?”“I’m only saying this because you seem like a nice lady but whatever you think is going on between you and the Alpha, it’s not going to last.” Savannah finally said.“I’m not sure what you mean…” I trailed off“All I’m saying is that you seem like the kind of girl who is looking for forever, true love kind of stuff. But Klaus is just not the type of man to settle down” She takes my shoulders in her hands, rubbing them softly. “I don’t want you to get your hopes up because you’ve been in his bed and all.”“Ohhh…” What exactly was I supposed to say to her advice?“I’m sure you are a smart girl though,” Savannah said as she squeezed my shoulders gen
Klaus fumed as he tackled pending paperwork littered on his desk. He could hardly focus on the task at hand as his mind kept drifting back to Aurora and the argument they had. He had half a mind to walk back to her room and tell her that he would never let her leave him willingly. However, he could not go back on his word. He had told her that he would let her leave in the spur of the moment and had regretted it immediately. It would be a total disaster if she decided to take him up on his offer. The mate bond might not be fully developed between them, but he was sure he would not survive being separated from her for a long time. Curse his temper, he should have controlled himself better with her. How could he have told her to leave when there was the threat of her ex? There was no way he could let her leave. Not on her own anyway. He became aware of a female’s scent invading his surroundings just as a series of short knocks sounded on the door. His aunt, Danielle, waltzed in with
