Aurora’s PovAfter the scene in the dining room, I went up to my room to relax for a bit. But soon after, I started feeling restless. It would do me no good to lock myself inside all day, so I decided to go to the clinic. I decided to take the path through the forest as usual. As soon as I stepped into the forest, the scent of nature enveloped and calmed me. It was like I had stepped into another dimension where time seemed to stop. Out here, I was unbothered and it felt like I was just floating through the forest as I walked. All of a sudden, I heard the sound of a fast-approaching movement behind me. I turned to see a wolf running in my direction. I watched as the wolf got nearer, thinking it would run past me. It was at the last moment that I noticed the crazed look in its eyes as it pounced on me. I fell to the ground with a heavy thud. ‘What was that all about?’ I thought as I sat up dusting twigs and dirt from my body. I looked around to find the wolf circling about me and g
Aurora’s POVA few days had passed since my encounter with Klaus. I hardly stepped out of my room, opting for my food to be brought to my room instead. I refused to see my dad even though he had come knocking a few times. I needed the solitude to decide what to do next. By the third day, I decided that I had spent enough time being cooped up. It was time to face the real world. I dressed up and made my way to the pack house. I was intent on clearing things up with my dad. My dad looked up in surprise when he saw me at the door. “Dad… we need to talk,” I said pensively “Dear… come in. How are you? I’m sorry about the other day. I shouldn’t have reacted in such a way,” My dad said looking sheepish. Guilt was written all over his face. “It’s fine Dad. I understand it must have been very shocking, not to mention disappointing.” I said while taking a seat. “No dear… I am sorry. It was a misunderstanding, that's all. What do you want to talk about?” “Dad… The thing with Michael and th
Aurora’s POV A few days later, I was packing my things to leave for my new home. I sighed wistfully thinking about the last time I had to leave. Then I had a choice, but this time I was practically being forced into leaving. I cursed Klaus for what must have been the millionth time on that day. My dad had been powerless against Klaus’s command. In the end, I had chosen to leave to prevent a war from breaking out. I had no doubts that Klaus would make good on his threats to destroy my dad’s kingdom if I wasn’t handed over willingly or if I tried to run. I rubbed my stomach absentmindedly, once my baby was born, I would be vindicated and hopefully free from Klaus. I stepped out of my room carrying only one suitcase containing my essentials; packing everything I owned felt like I was leaving forever. So I packed only a bag to remind myself that this was only temporary. Downstairs, my dad was waiting for me with a solemn expression and my heart nearly broke at the sight. I
Aurora’s Pov The thought of being alone with Alpha Klaus sent slight thrills throughout my body. I licked my lips nervously, suddenly aware of every movement he made. I could feel his eyes on me as I walked into the tiny bedroom. Thankfully this room had a functioning door and I pressed myself against it after locking it. Was it just me or the temperature had increased by several degrees? ‘What exactly was I scared of?’ I thought, echoing Klaus’s words. I was a grown adult who shouldn’t be getting excited about being alone with a man I clearly hated. I patted down my dress and resolved to remain as calm as possible. When I reemerged from the room, I found Klaus pulling out some packs of what I assumed was food from a cupboard. A pot was already sizzling on the stove. This was not an image I could have conjured in my wildest dreams. The big bad Alpha was cooking! “You must be hungry," He said while stirring the pot. “No,” I replied begrudgingly. Before I could turn
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
