Aurora’s POVThe Blood Moon pack was unlike any Pack I’d seen before. While it was very modern, it gave off a secluded vibe. There were no neighboring packs. The blood moon pack was literally cut off from the rest of the world. It looked to be the kind of place where everything that got in or out was well monitored. However, the streets were bustling with activity. I looked around eagerly as we drove through a vibrant market. Sounds of laughter, conversations, and music filled the air. I had initially felt like the Blood Moon Pack was an isolated cage but the ambience of the people here proved otherwise. “Would you like to buy something?” Klaus said. Why did he always have to say something? It was hard enough to ignore him while he was silent but when he opened his mouth, his voice was something I couldn’t ignore. “Ermmm…no” I was starting to think he was bipolar. Nice one minute, cruel the next. We remained in silence until we stopped in front of a massive building which I assume
Aurora’s POVThe sound of approaching footsteps brought me back to earth. I opened my eyes in alarm at the realization of what I had been anticipating. If I could slap myself I would have. How did my feelings switch so quickly between anger and lust? Would I really have let the man I hated so much kiss me? “Come in,” Klaus’s voice was back to its authoritative tone. Two young women appeared wheeling in trolleys of food.“Come, let’s sit.” Klaus led me to a small table overlooking a window. I was still reeling from our encounter, I couldn’t form any arguments and could only follow. The ladies set down different plates of food in front of us while taking peeks at me. I wondered if they could feel the tension in the room. I was still trying to calm down but Klaus appeared totally unfazed. Why was I the only one reacting so awkwardly? When our eyes met, he smirked knowingly at me. My cheeks heated and I quickly averted my gaze. This was bad. Very bad. I looked around the room, desper
Klaus shook his head in frustration as Aurora left the room. The little vixen was hell-bent on defying his every order. He was sure she would be back to ask for his help in locating her room. A smirk spread across his lips as he imagined how she would reluctantly plead for his direction. Any minute now, she would come through his doors. As time ticked by, he began to wonder if she had actually managed on her own. A light scowl settled on his face. He had been looking forward to seeing her again. Fuck! He didn’t like the sound of that. He, rumored as a ruthless Alpha, pining over a woman? Impossible. He admitted that she intrigued him, but that was the end of it. Sure she was beautiful, gorgeous even, but that didn’t explain why his wolf seemed to go crazy in her presence. It was getting harder and harder to keep his wolf at bay. A knock on the door jarred his train of thought. His first thought was that Aurora had come back after all and he chastised himself over it. He should not
Aurora’s POV This time, I opened my eyes to more familiar surroundings. I was pretty sure this was Klaus’s room. A quick survey of the room showed that I was alone. I couldn’t sense Klaus’s presence either although his musky scent lingered in the room. My heart throbbed with intense pain. I couldn’t believe I had lost my child. I had never even gotten a chance to know him or her. Tears rolled down my face. I sobbed as sorrow ripped through my guts and threatened to pull me apart. I had never dealt with the pain of losing someone so this was a new low for me. I sobbed for several minutes before stopping. I could continue crying later, but right now I needed to get out of here. I couldn’t stand to be in this place anymore. But I couldn’t leave the room just yet, I didn’t want a repeat of what happened before. The clock by the bedside told me it was several minutes past midnight. I sat up in bed deliberating on what to do next. That was when I noticed that my clothes had bee
Aurora’s POV: My body tingled wherever Klaus’ fingers touched, and it seemed to me like his touch lit a fiery flame down the length of my body. I gulped as I stared up at him. “This is exactly where you’re meant to be, love. Why would you think otherwise?” He said softly, confusing me even further. For a minute, I wanted to believe him. I wanted to think that he was not mad and that I really was supposed to be here, with or without a child. It took every ounce of my resolve to free myself from these daunting thoughts, and when I did, I stepped away. “Please…” I said, snapping out of his charm. “I want to leave,” I repeated. “Tell me. What have I done wrong? Is the room not to your liking? Has something upset you?” Why was he saying all these things? Surely he couldn’t be so daft as to not know the real reason why I couldn’t stay here. “Stop it!” I screamed. Klaus remained calm, he didn’t even flinch at my tone. “Do you intend to keep me here like some sort of sla
Aurora’s POVI washed up quickly. Even though I had barely slept all night, excitement buzzed through me. I couldn’t keep my hand off my stomach, rubbing it at different intervals and smiling to myself. I was starting to notice a slight roundness to the curve of my abdomen.It felt so good to be an expectant mother again, not that I had ever stopped in the real sense. I chose a light v-necked dress for today and I had barely pulled it over my head when I heard a knock at the door. I hastily pulled down my dress and opened the door. A tinge of disappointment worked its way through my insides. There was only a maid at my door. I chewed my lip nervously, wondering why I had been expecting someone else, Klaus specifically. I blushed on remembering his peculiar way of escorting me. “The alpha has sent for you, my lady. I shall escort you” The young lady said. “Of course,” I said, locking the door behind me. I followed behind her meekly. This time, I made sure to take note of the route
Aurora’s POVIn the end, I couldn’t come up with a suitable reply. My brain was literally blank. I could only stare directly at Klaus as if under a spell. “It seems I have managed to shock you again ”“Yes…” I answered. “I realize we didn’t get off to the most ideal start, but I hope we can make the best of our situation,” Klaus adds. “The most ideal start?” I laughed “You called me a liar severally. Without even knowing me, you judged me harshly. You took me away from my family to prove a sick point. You threatened to separate me permanently from my dad. You…” I was on a roll. All my pent-up anger sprang forth like water bursting through a dam. The nerve of the man! “And now, you’ve suddenly decided that I can be trusted. What changed Alpha?”Klaus winced “I’m sorry,”“You’re sorry?” I got up. I couldn’t believe the nerve of the man. I was tired of being treated like a toy, to be picked up and discarded on whims. First, Michael humiliated me and then came back begging. Now, Klaus
Aurora’s POVI struggled to continue my conversation with Danielle after that. My mind was reeling from what Danielle told me. It was no wonder that Klaus had not believed me at first. Hell, I wouldn’t even believe myself. Doubts were starting to sprout up in my mind. What if I had truly made a mistake? No. I of all people needed to believe in myself, I had not lied. Klaus was the only man I had been with and hence, he could only be responsible. I refused to let my mind wander about other possibilities. “You’ve been quiet. Is something wrong?” Danielle remarked. We were now on our way back. “Not at all” I lied. “I was just feeling tired. I barely slept last night and now the fatigue is catching up to me” I looked over at Danielle. She seemed to believe my excuse and didn’t comment further on my silence. When we got back to the Packhouse, I marveled at the structure; I don’t think I would ever get used to the size of this place. Inside, a beautiful red-haired woman sat on a chaise
