Aurora’s POV:When Klaus came back to my room that evening, I was nothing but a crying mess. I couldn’t even see him clearly or form coherent sentences due to how messed up I was.My heart ached for my loss, and no matter how much I thought about it, I just couldn’t shake out the feeling of dread… emptiness, and loss. He’d gone too soon… too fast. Heck, I wasn’t even given the opportunity to say goodbye to him, and worst of all, I couldn’t help him.“What is it?” He said softly, holding me close. I was sprawled on the floor so he had to sit with me there whilst hugging me. “He’s… he’s dead!” I announced between hiccups. “I couldn’t save him, Klaus, I couldn’t!” I cried.I felt the urge to tug at my hair. I wanted to dip my fingers into my eyes and then plug out the orbs but I couldn’t. Whatever I did now would have repercussions on my unborn child sooner or later.Klaus stilled. I noticed how he fought the tears that threatened to spill out of his eyes. His hands instantly went cold,
Aurora’s POV:Hand in hand, I walked up to the guest room with my mother beside me. She was quiet the entire time, and as much I hated to say it, it hurt me. It hurt because I didn’t know what to say to her or do for her to make her feel any better. She shivered as the effects of jumping into the water began to set in, and quietly, I draped my shawl over her shoulders. She raised her eyes to look at me but I pretended to be so lost in thoughts, she looked away.When we arrived at the guest room, I pushed the door open and stepped in first. She tentatively followed my lead, gasping when she was met with the vastness of the space. I took my time opening all the curtains and even lit up the fireplace to ensure that she would feel the warmth.“Klaus said you can stay here for as long as you like,” I said softly. I was still very cautious around her as she was obviously in more pain than I was. “…there are a few things in the closet that you can use for now, I’ll get you other essentials
Aurora’s POV:Klaus went from worried to confused to aroused in less than three seconds. One second he was opening his mouth presumably to scold me about risking our baby’s health and the next, he was closing it and staring at me with dark eyes so black that I couldn’t make out his pupils. He reached out for me and I allowed him to ravage his fingers up the length of my aching body. There were tears in my eyes, and gently he wiped them off.“Are you sure you want this?” He murmured into my ear and I nodded, shivering momentarily when his warm breath tickled my neck.“Aurora, baby… don’t do this because you’re hurting. It won’t make you feel any better.” He tried to talk me out of it but I shook my head.Again, I planted my finger on his lips, and staring into his deep dark eyes, I muttered; “I want it,”He gulped. He wasted no time in grabbing my hips once he was with me on the bed. He made a sound deep in his throat that was a mix between a groan and a moan.“I love you,” he grunted
Aurora’s POV:A WEEK LATER:“Baby, what is it?” Klaus asked me but then I was in too much shock to breathe, not to mention replying to his question.My hands shook as I stared at the text message on my phone. It was from Alexander, my late father’s lawyer and something about it screamed urgency. Wordlessly, I shoved the phone into Klaus’ hands. He read the message for a few seconds and then sighed, before muttering; “why?”“Huh?”“Why does he want to see you?” Klaus asked. “What is so important that he wants to talk to you about… and he cannot say over the phone?”I shook my head. “I have no idea too… but it’s better to find out from the horse’s mouth than stay here pondering about the possibilities of what he has to offer.”“Or what he has to say,” Klaus supplied and I nodded. I moved away from him as I walked over to the large window. A lot of thoughts plagued my mind. I had no idea why or for what reasons barrister Alexander was asking to see me, but then I was curious. Way too cur
Aurora’s POV:When I opened my eyes a few moments later, it was to the sound of ambulances and police vehicles approaching.I cautiously rose to my feet on wobbly legs but as soon as I saw the image presenting itself before me, I gasped both in surprise and fear.The building which once stood tall was nothing but ruins now. The entire place smelled of smoke, soil, and blood. I quickly glanced around my surroundings in panic, noticing to my horror that there were a lot of dead bodies scattered everywhere, but thankfully, none of them were Klaus’ soldiers.I held my head in both of my hands as my ears began to ring loudly. There were tears in my eyes… and dust particles. I tried to fervently blink them away but they were stubborn and wouldn’t go away. Worst of all was the ringing in my ears.Slowly, one of Klaus’ soldiers approached me. He had an injured arm but still, he came over to check on me. I could see his lips moving and could notice how his head bobbed up and down but I couldn’
Aurora’s POV:I was still weak and afraid. My fear had bloomed in the past week and now, I was nothing but the combo of a crybaby and a scaredy-cat.I closed my eyes, focusing only on breathing steadily as I slowly stepped into the crowded hall with Klaus walking by my side. The air was thick and filled with the smell of sweat, several different types of colognes, and burning candles.“Are you sure you can do this?” I heard Klaus ask me for the thousandth time today and just like the other times he asked, I simply nodded.I couldn’t look at him, couldn’t bring myself to. My eyes were trained on my mother who looked ashen as she stared at the big brown box up front. It was my father’s coffin and strangely, it was locked.The beautiful decorations at the front of the hall made the realization of what today was dawn on me. I stared teary-eyed at the big portraits of my father hanging at the front. They were adorned with fancy garlands, those pesky little things that made his death even m
Aurora’s POV:The rest of the day happened in a blur. The afternoon that had started with me crying over my father’s death at his funeral ended with my cries and pleas for help.“Baby… baby, take deep breaths!” That was the only thing I could make out in all of the chaos. I couldn’t decipher if it was my mother’s voice or Klaus’ but I knew it was one of them. Heck, I couldn’t even acknowledge whoever it was because I was in so much pain.My stomach hurt terribly, and worst of all was the pain down there, around my pelvis. It felt like I was about to divide in half and to worsen matters, nothing anyone said or did made me feel any better. I screamed with tears streaming down my face.As Klaus drove me to the hospital, I couldn’t help but bark out orders at him at intervals. It was either he was driving too fast and swerving the car at an alarming speed or he was going too slow, so slow that I felt I would’ve given up the ghost before he arrived at the hospital.All the time I yelled,
Aurora’s POV:The last thing I saw before I leaped out of the window was Klaus’ and my mother’s shocked expressions. I was shocked too but right now, I didn’t have the time to dwell on such feelings.I ran as fast as my legs through the night, with nothing but the silver rays of the moon acting as my guide. The night was chilly and somewhat windy. I could feel the breeze blowing away at my furs…My furs!!This still felt like a dream. I meant the fact that I had finally gotten my wolf! For several months, I’ve been looked down on, been treated like I was crap simply because everyone thought I was an omega. I wished they could see me right now and see how beautiful my wolf was.Just as the thought crossed my mind, it immediately was dispelled. I couldn’t help but worry about myself and now that I thought about it, what was happening? I was supposed to have Alpha blood so why did I turn before turning twenty?This thought singularly plagued my heart but before I could dwell on it for lon
