Aurora’s POV:Klaus and I had just taken only a few steps away from Savannah’s corpse when we heard a loud explosion from a distance. I watched in shock as dust and smoke rose into the air, and immediately, the few soldiers with us ran in its direction. Klaus tried to run to check too but I quickly held his arm, halting his movement.In a panic, I rushed out; “please, stop!”“Stop? Why?” He questioned with his eyebrows shooting up.I ducked my head as I struggled to get the words out of my mouth. Call me selfish but I was too scared to allow him to go and check what the noise was about because I was afraid of what might happen.“Because your soldiers have it under control.”“And I’ll be certain that it is under control when I get ther—”“What if it is something bad?” I snapped, interrupting him. “What if something happens to you? I do not trust Emily and her craftiness.”“Shh…” he whispered, placing a finger gently on my lips. “… calm down, baby. I understand your worries but then it’
Aurora’s POV:“Baby…?” I called softly as I stepped into Klaus’ room. Ever since the whole Josie/ Savannah incident, he has been acting differently… distant if you asked me.I was worried because I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what I may have done or said to him to warrant such a shift in character; or was it because of Savannah?When I stepped into his room, I didn’t meet anyone there and I was almost beginning to suspect that he’d gone out until I heard the unmistakable sound of water splashing against the bathroom tiles.“He’s having his bath,” I sighed, mumbling under my breath as I sat on his bed. I contemplated leaving to come back later but upon remembering how he’s been avoiding me ever since, I remained put. His room smelled of lavender and his fancy cologne. The smell was… welcoming, and thoughtlessly, I lay on his bed and closed my eyes, waiting.A few minutes later, he stepped out of the bathroom. He probably wasn’t expecting me to be here because as soon as he saw me, he ga
Aurora’s POV:I closed my eyes as a burst of flavor erupted in my mouth. Klaus’ mouth tasted of mint, coffee and something else that tastes like cinnamon. It was a combination of three things I loved a lot.His gentle hands caressed my back and neck while his tongue savored my mouth, exploring every crevice. But I was still mad. Deep down, I suspected that this was his way of shutting me up… a way to abruptly end our fight because he probably didn’t have it in him to continue to argue with me. The thought didn’t sit right with me, and almost immediately, I felt myself gradually growing angry. In anger, I tried to shove him off but he wouldn’t even bulge. I tried harder, frowning when he still didn’t move away from me.“Klaus, wait…” I gasped, “stop.”At the sound of my voice, he halted his movements. His left hand that had once been tangled in my hair froze while his deep dark eyes stared into mine as though suddenly, there was something extremely fascinating about it.“What is it?”
Aurora’s POV:I woke up to the sound of my babies crying and groaned as I begrudgingly got off the bed. The first thing I noticed when I got off was the fact that Klaus was nowhere to be found. His side of the bed was so clean and made, that one would even think he didn’t sleep here last night.Deciding to focus instead on my crying kids and not on Klaus’ whereabouts, I hopped off the bed and stumbled to their cot, frowning when I noticed that they’d both soiled their diapers, thus the reason for their incessant cries.“Argh!” I groaned again as I picked them up, one after the other, and began to clean them up. It took me a while but after I was done changing them into new diapers, I quickly fed them, placed them back into their respective cots, and sighed in relief.“Now, where is Klaus?” I pondered aloud as a sense of unease washed over me.It was unlike him to just up and leave without informing me. Even from how faint the traces of his perfume that still lingered in the room were,
Damon’s POV:“I want the girl… you want the throne. We both want almost the same thing,” Alpha Michael Flynn’s voice rang in my head as I stepped out of my sleek black car, ignoring the whispered greeting of my bodyguard as he held the door wide open for me to step through.He was right though, I wanted the throne… Klaus’ throne. I wanted to be the new King Superior, but what I didn’t understand was why he needed my help in getting the lady when he could easily find his way to her considering that they were once mates. Aurora, or whatever she was called. I needed to meet her, to see what was so special about her.I smacked my lips when I walked towards the large house, the mansion I’d always wanted to live in ever since I was a kid. Now, it belonged to Klaus but soon it would be mine. Just as I was about to step into the house, I halted in my tracks when I saw Klaus walking up to me with a serious expression on his face. He looked like he was living his nightmare, and that made me f
Damon’s POV:I adjusted my pants for the hundredth time in the past few minutes, smirking when I noticed that Aurora’s eyes followed my action. She let out a sharp gasp, one that sounded as though she was out of breath, and turned to look away with her face contorted into a frown.I paid no heed to the fact that she was probably irritated by me, instead, I turned to Klaus, whose anger was skyrocketing with each passing second, and gritted out through painful lips;“Back to what we were talking about…”Klaus frowned deeper, “Yes, about that. My response is no. I do not wish to work with you, especially under the absurd conditions you came up with.”“It’s not that deep…” I mused. “You’d still be on top, just beneath me.”As soon as the words escaped my lips, I heard a scoff leave someone’s mouth. I turned with a frown, thinking it was Klaus but when I realized that it was my beauty, the glowing belle who literally hid herself behind Klaus, I let out a breath.“Think about it, King Super
Aurora’s POV:“Babe, what was that?” I asked as soon as Klaus and I stepped into the house. I was sounding almost out of breath and I was sure to blame it on how uncomfortable the whole scenario with Damon had been earlier. It didn’t even help that Klaus’ face was chalky white and was stormy, somewhat giving me insight about how the sudden ‘meetup’ had been.He sighed; “nothing important.”Something about the way he sounded made me shiver but I wasn’t sure what it was. Wordlessly, I led him up the stairs, holding his hands as I led the way to my room. Klaus didn’t say a word as we went though, instead, he followed behind quietly, feeling almost like a brick wall behind me.We arrived at my room some minutes later, and after shutting the door behind us, I led him again to the bed, smiling when I noticed that the children were awake. They played with each other and had small fluffy dolls in their hands, one which I suspected was given to them by one of the maids who had come to clean u
Klaus’ POV: FLASHBACK: It was one of those nights when Father would come home late from ‘Pack meetings’. He’d been gone for so long, nearly a month, that Mother and I had gotten used to his absence… to the lack of yelling and his heavy footsteps all around the house. That night, Mother with her big and roundish-looking stomach, was busy preparing porridge while she danced and hummed to a song I sang for her. It was lovely… we were at peace. However, our safe space quickly came to an abrupt end when we heard the front door closing. Then followed by heavy footsteps, the one we both dreaded. “Hey,” She whispered to me. Her eyes which were once full of hope had now been replaced by something akin to fear. Something that made my skin crawl with abhorration. She pointed to the dining table. “Your father is here. Pretend to read, I’ll serve your dinner when I am done here.” I quickly nodded and I did as told. I hopped into the chair not so far from where she stood, cooking, and
