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
Aurora’s POV:I woke up to the feeling of sunlight in my face and sure enough, when I pried my eyes open, I wasn’t so surprised to see that it was because a certain someone had so diligently raised the curtains. I sat up with a frown.My eyes snapped to the baby cot in the corner of the room not too far from the bed and when I saw that both David and Davina were still peacefully sleeping, I sighed; “Thank God,”“Good morning, beautiful,” Klaus’ voice said from behind me, and quickly, I turned around, ready to snap at him for waking me up the way he did but then I held my tongue when I saw him standing there with a smile, shirtless and with a tray of English breakfast in his hands.“Good morning,” I responded sheepishly, and then pointing at the tray in his hands, I asked; “What’re you doing there?” Klaus shrugged dismissively; “waiting for you to wake up so that I can bring you breakfast.”“Oh…” I blushed,With a smile on my face, I rose to my feet, blushing even harder when it occur
Aurora’s POV:“Emily escaped?” I rushed out, dumping my fork onto the tray, “how?”Something about the news made me panic but I wasn’t sure if it was because I didn’t trust Emily one bit and feared what she would do to us after escaping or because our Father was back now, and deep down, I felt like she would go after him.“Yes… And I don’t know, also, I need to get going,” He answered quickly, and then pointing to the food, he continued; “Make sure you finish your food, I’ll be back in a—”While he said that, my anger skyrocketed and so did my frustration. I paid no attention to him or the sweet-smelling food in front of me as I rushed to change into something a little more… comfortable. I clad myself in a pair of free jogger pants and changed into a gray tank top. Klaus on the other hand, simply threw a shirt over his head and dashed out of the room, leaving me behind. When I was done with that, I ran in the direction that Klaus’ smell lingered. It drew me and blindly, I followed it
Aurora’s POV: In the now stiffly quiet place, the only thing I could hear was the sound of Savannah’s gasps as she gurgled out blood from her mouth. She clutched the side of her neck where the bullet had penetrated and stared into space with her glazing eyes. I jumped toward her, ready to help but when I saw the dark side eyes she immediately threw at me, I quickly stepped back. I knew she hated me, and I knew that she wanted Klaus to herself. However, what I didn’t understand was how she still remembered to hold grudges even now that she was on the brink of death. I turned to Klaus; “Help her!” Klaus, who had initially been so stunned, rushed to Savannah’s side. He wrapped his arms around her and then pressed down on her bullet wound using a small towel that had been in his pants pocket. “Breathe… slowly,” he whispered to her; and then turning to his soldiers, he yelled; “Someone get the healer!” As soon as I heard this, I stepped toward Klaus and Savannah again and knelt
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?”
