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
Aurora’s POV:As I sat in my hospital bed, watching the pack members as they trooped in to drop their gifts as well as catch a glimpse of my twin babies, I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear. My heart felt full, and this time, it was a good type of full.I could see the bright smile on Klaus’ face while he greeted them. It was obvious that he was just as happy as I was. My smile however faltered for a brief second when I remembered Klaus’ initial agreement with me, the one I had been forced to sign when I newly informed him about my pregnancy.It hurt to think about it but then I wanted to get it over with. I patiently waited until we were the only people left in the room before I pointed it out to him.“About the agreement,” I said slowly, watching him as he gently played with the babies.His eyes shot up to meet mine and with a frown, he questioned me; “which of them?”“The only one we have.”I was almost irritated that he was now acting clueless when in truth, he had been the o
Aurora’s POV:I was still shaken as I thought about the possibility of my father still being alive. But where was he?Just like the day I heard about his demise, my heart raced, but this time it was for a different reason. I couldn’t help but think about him… about everything. I was worried that he may be unsafe or in danger because why else would I feel like he was still alive but had no clue as to where he was?Was Emily in on this as well?As my body shook, I coughed loudly. The cough wracked my entire body so painfully, causing me to wheeze as I fought the urge to throw up. Just then a nurse ran into the room and when she saw me coughing, she immediately ran out only to come back inside seconds later with a water bottle.She shoved the water bottle in my hands and with a grateful nod, I gulped the entire contents of the bottle down in one swift swig and then wiped my mouth clean with the back of my hands. “Thank you,” I said, handing the now empty bottle back to her but she didn’
Aurora’s POV:The room was now quiet with only my sobs resounding around it. Both Danielle and the doctor had since left, leaving me with Klaus who stood watching me, with no expression on his face.I was mad, but at the same time, frustrated.After what seemed like an excruciating forty-five minutes, Klaus crouched beside me and wordlessly pulled me into a hug. I sighed against his chest, and even though I was still mad at him for not believing me, I let him hug me.It was true, I wouldn’t believe myself too if I were him because Savannah had been sleek enough to dispose of everything she had used to taunt me. A particular thought plagued my mind though, and after pondering over it for a while, I decided to ask him.“When you walked into the room earlier, where did you find me?”I saw Klaus frown as soon as I asked that. There was a look on his face, one that I couldn’t quite decipher. He carefully pulled away from me and muttered;“I found you on the bed.”“Are you sure?”“Of course
Aurora’s POV: The atmosphere was tense as I stared at Klaus’ outstretched hand in confusion. Right now, I couldn’t exactly say if I was excited at the prospect of getting married to my heartthrob or pissed. Pissed that it had to come to this.“What is this?” I said. My voice was nothing but a mere whisper. I couldn’t look at Klaus’ face for fear of what I might find there. I was hurt… and most of it was because of the clauses embedded in these documents. “Our prenup.” He responded.Something about the way he said those words filled me with a kind of rage that I couldn’t quite decipher. I tightened my hands into fists, nearly breaking the pen into two. “We never talked about a prenup,” I snapped, sounding somewhat angry.At the sound of my voice, he snapped his head upward to meet my gaze. In his eyes were several emotions, and I could swear I saw guilt dancing in those orbs before he quickly looked away.“We did,” he said simply.Again, I looked down at the paperwork and sighed. Kl
Aurora’s POV:As I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my reflection, my heart felt heavy with mixed emotions. Today was the day I was supposed to get married to Klaus, to seal the deal with him in a wedding that felt more like a transaction than a celebration of love. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves, and nodded at my stylist who looked way happier than I did about this union.“I’m done with your makeup now ma’am. Are you ready to wear the dress yet?” She asked me.Instead of responding, I wordlessly stood up to pick up the dress. The delicate fabric of the wedding gown brushed against my skin as I carefully slipped it on. It was a beautiful dress, no doubt, but it didn’t feel like me but then, maybe it was because I wasn’t the one who had picked it. Heck, I didn’t even see it until today. The intricate lace and sparkling embellishments seemed to mock the simplicity and authenticity I longed for but I didn’t complain, I couldn’t complain as it was already too la
