Aurora’s POV:“Hello, Aurora.” He greeted me with a wide smile. His tone was more than a little flirty but I tried to pay no attention to it. I hated that he was here; that he had chosen a moment in which Klaus was absent to visit, especially with the way he looks at me. Deciding not to show how bothered I was by his presence, I raised my gaze to firmly meet his own, and greeted back with a sneer;“Good day, Alpha Michaelson.”Damon smiled. I noticed how he quickly glanced around the house and then, turning to meet my irritated gaze, he asked; “where’s Klaus?”“He’s absent right now. If you came to see him, then I’m sorry but you’ll have to come back some other time.” I quickly replied, ready to dismiss him.Damon probably noticed my discomfort and the obvious need to get rid of him because he then smiled again, exposing all his pearly whites. Something about the way he did it made me so uncomfortable that I shifted on my feet.He snickered; “…actually, I am here to see both of you.
Klaus’ POV:“Alpha, look what we found,” my worker, Daniel, said with a proud smile while he pushed a small device in my direction.I looked down at it, frowning when I noticed how blackened it was from fire. Daniel on the other hand, still seemed so proud, one would think that he was expecting to be applauded.“What am I looking at?” I snapped, not bothering to hide my irritation.Daniel shifted uncomfortably. He looked back at the warehouse, the one which now stood like a large ruin, and muttered; “it’s an explosive.”At first, I didn’t understand what he was getting at. Heck, I was too pissed that common sense had evaded me. My anger at the ruined new goods made me irrational, but after a careful silence, it began to make little sense to me. I glanced at the small black object.“What do you mean?”He shifted again. “What I mean is that I found this after the firefighters put out the fire earlier today… meaning that it was planted in the warehouse. The fire wasn’t an accident, it wa
Aurora’s POV:I stood rooted in place with my mouth hanging open in shock. I wasn’t sure I had heard Klaus right but from the smug look on Damon’s face, it was safe to say that what I heard was correct. I slowly walked over to Klaus who in turn, took steps back, avoiding me.Fine, I knew I did wrong for allowing Damon to lean so close to me but the way Klaus was going about it wasn’t right either. I was hurt and blinked back tears.“Baby, it’s not what you think. I didn’t even—” I started to say but quickly shut my mouth when he rolled his eyes at me.“I said, get out!” He bellowed again, causing me to flinch.“Baby, I didn’t—”“Please leave,” he quickly butted in, interrupting me again. And then glancing at Damon, he spat; “…and you too, leave now before I am forced to exercise a little bit of power. I also do not want to ever see you here, especially when you know that you do not have an appointment with me.”I could hear the silent disdain in his voice, could even feel it in Klaus’
Emily’s POV:I stood with my back against the pillar watching, waiting to see if what I had planned out would work just how I wanted it to. A few minutes have gone by and I have still not gotten any information regarding Aurora or her stupid mate yet.She was supposed to be mad. My intel told me that she had been in an argument with Klaus who had asked her to leave the house but why wasn’t I seeing her yet? Had she decided to go against his words? Beg him maybe…? The thought made me mad.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear the sounds of footsteps approaching and I was only snapped out of my reverie when I heard a small surprised gasp. Immediately, I turned in the direction of the sound and was surprised when I saw a little blonde girl with blue eyes. She was glaring up at me with nothing but fear in her big doe eyes and when she noticed me staring, she stepped back in panic.At first, I was so surprised by her reaction until I noticed that my dark-colored scarf had slipped
Klaus’ POV:I had my eyes glued to the window, not seeing, as Aurora tried to explain whatever she had to say to me. I was uninterested, and most of all, I was mad. Deep down, I knew that she didn’t have the guts to ‘get with it’ with Damon but at the same time, I just couldn’t dispel what I had seen out of my mind like that. When she noticed that I was no longer listening, she turned and left, shutting my door quietly behind herself. I sighed.I had hoped that she wouldn’t take my words seriously, wished that she would only go into her room and return to me later when she perceived that I was calmer and so, I was shocked when I heard the unmistakable sound of a car engine revving to life only moments later.My initial anger dissipated and turned into panic as I shot toward the door, pushed it open, and ran out.I continued to run blindly, in fear, until I arrived downstairs only to discover that she had driven off… with the babies! A scream threatened to escape the back of my throat
Aurora’s POV:For the first few minutes, I drove with abandon, unseeing as tears blurred my vision. I was only snapped back to the present when I heard the sound of something unmistakably loud ahead of me and in panic, I glanced in its direction, gasping when I saw it.It was a truck… not a minivan! A large freaking truck and it was headed straight at me!Quickly, I blinked back my tears and sprang into action. Initially, I had hoped that I would be able to reverse my car but when I saw where I was— on the stupid small steep road of the hill just leading out of the city— my heart fell. It was impossible to make a turn here!I began to honk at the driver, desperately hoping that he would stop charging at me with so much speed. But he didn’t. He didn’t even seem like he could see me. “HEY!” I yelled at the top of my voice, panicking when I noticed that he had earphones on. “STOP THE DAMN TRUCK!”For a split second, I glanced back at my children who were still fast asleep, and then at t
Aurora’s POV:Nothing annoyed me more than the fact that I couldn’t move my body, even as the psychotic fool patted my hair gently, almost lovingly, and then turned around to face Klaus who looked like he was about to explode with rage but had somehow managed to keep himself in check.“Thank you,” Klaus gritted out, “…for the flowers.” He added, pointing to the vile things that now lay in bed beside me. If I was feeling any better, I would’ve gasped.For a minute, I was awestruck. It was impossible to believe that this was Klaus, my Klaus, thanking Damon for getting me flowers.“King Klaus, I am sorry for the last time we met,” Damon said instead, ignoring the passive-aggressive stares that Klaus was throwing at him. He gestured in my direction and with a nonchalant shrug, added; “You had the wrong impression of what was actually happening when you stepped into the house that day. Aurora here is my friend but she’s chaste.”As soon as he said those words, I felt an overbearing sense
Aurora’s POV:I sat up in bed when I heard the sound of the door opening. Even before he stepped in, I knew that it was him as his sweet scent hit my nostrils.“Hi,” I greeted with a smile, waving at him. Klaus smiled back but I couldn’t help but notice the tired lines around his eyes. He dropped a sweet-looking tray of food at the bedside table and then went to sit close to me on the bed.“How do you feel today, Angel?”That was new. He never called me that. The new nickname made my insides flip in excitement and my smile widened.“I feel better.” And that was the truth. Today was only my fourth day at the hospital and miraculously, I had healed so fast that no one would’ve believed it was the same me who couldn’t move my body only two days ago.“You heal so fast,” he commented softly, and then gently caressing my arm, he added; “…sometimes I forget that you are a white wolf.”“Sometimes I do too,” I replied with a laugh, “…until I look in the mirror and see my white strands.”At my
