Aurora’s POV:After the whole incident with Michael was taken care of by Klaus and his soldiers, our wedding ceremony continued and at the end of the day, Klaus and I returned to his pack as a couple.Upon arrival, I was surprised to see that most of his pack members were already waiting for us outside. They threw confetti at us and screamed excitedly as our cars trooped into the pack. The scenario made me so excited that I grinned from ear to ear.As if noticing my mood, Klaus leaned forward, pressed his mouth to my ear, and whispered; “You like it?”Sudden chills ran up my body from the feel of his lips against my skin. I shivered at his touch and squirmed,“Of course, I love it!” And then turning around to look at him, I continued; “Your people are so thoughtful!”“They are your people now,” He answered. His hands gently caressed my face and while he did so, I couldn’t help but feel a sudden swarm of eager butterflies in my stomach. I loved that he had wholly accepted me and want
Klaus’ POV:I stepped into the throne room with Savannah following closely behind me. I had no idea why she was here even after I had called off our engagement several weeks ago but at the same time, I was curious… and we were supposed to be friends right? Right?“Why are you here?” I asked as soon as she walked into the room with me and shut the door behind herself.Her eyes narrowed into fierce slits as she glared at me and with her arms folded across her chest, she barked; “I demand an explanation!”“An explanation for what?”“An explanation as to why you dumped me weeks ago because according to you, you needed to ‘find yourself first’ only for you to be married to that trollop now!” She snarled.For a minute, I momentarily went deaf. I couldn’t hear anything past the fact that she had referred to Aurora as a ‘trollop’. The thought filled me with so much rage that for a moment, I thought about smacking her head hard against the wall until it cracked.I huffed and puffed, struggling
Aurora’s POV:“Savannah… is she gone yet?” I asked Klaus as soon as he stepped into my room that evening.He sighed as he dropped into my bed, and with a regretful look on his face, he answered; “I guess so,”“So you are not sure?”“I’m not… she walked out on me after we had an argument.”“Oh…”For some strange reason, the sound of that didn’t sit right with me and I couldn’t help but remember how she had been with me these past few days. I could also remember the incident at the hospital. Now, I wasn’t sure that it had happened but still, it gave me chills whenever I thought about it.“See, I know that you feel very uncomfortable around her …” Klaus’ voice snapped me out of my train of thought. I stared at him for a while, contemplating whether to voice my fears to him or not. He seemed to understand the turmoil going on in my head because he slowly rose to his feet, walked over to me, and pulled me into a hug.“At the hospital that other time…” I trailed off when I felt Klaus stiffe
Aurora’s POV:I laid with my back to the bed whilst reading one of the several books that had been sent to me this past week from ‘Gerald’. I wanted to know if the person was real, and most of all, I wanted to be sure that it was my father before I involved Klaus in it.The book I was currently reading was about a soldier who had gone to war only to go back home several months later to find his wife in the arms of another. The one before this was about a young lad who was an explorer. He was just as smart…if not more than Albert Einstein but had gone missing in a storm. Sadly, his mom never recovered from this.I tilted the book to the side and sighed; “none of this was making any sense.”Nothing in them could be linked to my father, and worse still, they were bland stories with no special meanings.My mom had long gone on a walk with my children, leaving me to myself, and so there was no one I could talk to at the moment. Out of boredom, I began to read through the book again, and th
Aurora’s POV:I laughed, cried, and sobbed because I was unable to make out coherent words. I still hadn’t answered his question yet, I couldn’t bring myself to.How was I? Do I say fine? Do I say happy? How exactly was I?My father was patient with me. I could hear his steady breathing and his light laughter over the phone. There were times he even tried to calm me down by whispering soothing words to me but he never rushed me. He never said anything insensitive to me but simply listened to me as I bawled my eyes out.After about a few minutes, I heard him sigh. He asked again; “how are you?”At the sound of his voice, I raised my head. Slowly, I wiped off the tears that had stained my face but just as I did, another came rushing down. I chuckled; “I feel a lot better now, papa,” I whispered.A smile formed on my face as I imagined him nodding his head at me because that was one thing he always did. The call went silent for a while and I had to be the one to break the ice. I asked
Aurora’s POV:“Are you cheating on me?!” He barked again furiously and I could only shake my head in negation. I was speechless. I didn’t know what to say to him, I didn’t even know what to do as I slowly placed the phone on the bed.Klaus eyed it angrily and with a scowl evident on his face, he barked; “Who did you just say you loved over the phone?”“No one… he’s a nobody,” I rushed out, and to my utmost horror, Klaus shook his head. He had a look of pure disgust plastered on his face and with a dismissive shrug, he took several steps away from me.“You’re cheating…?”His blatant accusation made my mouth fall open in shock. Of all the things to accuse me of, I was shocked that he had chosen to go with infidelity. Angrily, I planted my hands on my hips and snapped; “No, I’m not! I’m not a cheat!”“But your body says otherwise!” I was taken aback when he said that, and for a minute, I could swear that I swooned. Tears pooled in my eyes as I slumped into bed, all the while, I contempl
Aurora’s POV: “Call Jeremy,” she commanded in a fierce tone. My eyebrows perked up in askance as I folded my arms across my chest. Naturally one should be scared but I wasn’t, especially as I had begun to feel a surge of power course through my veins. “Who’s Jeremy?” I asked her instead, noticing how her lips curved downward into a sneer. She scoffed and with an eye roll, she snapped at me; “Do not try to pretend that you do not know who Jeremy is!” I stared at her in confusion. I was confused because first off, I didn’t know who the hell Jeremy was, and worst of all, I had no idea why I would be calling anyone simply because she asked me to. I frowned. “Well, I don’t.” “Aurora,” she warned threateningly, “Do it. Do not force me to pull this trigger.” Something about the way she said it made me even angrier than I already was. I planted both of my hands on my waist as I took a step closer to her. “You wouldn’t dare!” I spat. Now, the power coursing through my veins was overwhe
Aurora’s POV: “I told you, he’s Father’s new lawyer!” She cried defiantly, struggling under Ian’s hold but as expected, the latter didn’t let go of her. “And why do you think I’ll know where he is when you never even told me you employed him in the first place?!” I bit back at her with equal fierceness, causing her to gulp. She muttered something under her breath that sounded strangely akin to an insult and I cocked my eyebrows at her as I stepped closer to her. When she saw this, she dropped her head but then took several steps away from me. “I know you spy on me… and wor—” She started to say but before the words could leave her mouth, I snapped my fingers in her face and snarled; “You’re not that important that I would waste my time spying on you,” I heard the muffled laughs from Ian and the soldier standing directly behind him. My eyes darted in their direction for a brief moment before I turned back to Emily who still had a scowl on her face. I ignored her piercing stares a
