Asher’s POVLeaning back on my chair, I couldn't help but ponder on Aurora’s real identity. Since the first day she stepped into the pack, I had always suspected her to be an alpha female but she kept insisting she was an Omega. Drumming my fingers against the polished wooden table in front of me, I alternated my gaze between the elders seated on both sides of the table.They were talking about the progress of the south faction with merry voices. Aurora had proved herself within a few weeks of leading the faction and I must confess this was the first time in a long while I found myself being intrigued by a woman. She had exceeded my expectations.With her leadership skills, she had handled the affairs of the south faction so efficiently; something that some seasoned council members wouldn't be able to do in years. At first, I thought I was going to hide behind her to bring regularity to the division but she did that without my help making it look like she had been born for this r

Aurora’s POVSeated behind my desk, I carefully reviewed the documents that were littered all over my desk.After the death of Fred, I was received by the officials which was against their wish but somehow, I had managed to ease the tension between us.We might not be on good terms but our cooperation was top notch and that was all I needed to function properly. Across the table was Miller.Our first meeting was tension filled. The glare she had sent my way the first day I saw her was neatly stamped in my memory and it was going to take a while before I forgot about it. For the last few weeks, she has proved her worth.Asher was not bluffing when he said she would make a good friend and confidant. Another thing that endeared me to her was she was intelligent and sharp witted.“You’re too focused.” Miller chuckled. Though it was a quick glance, the amusement dancing in her eyes couldn't be missed. “You barely blink when you read, it's terrifying.”“And you’re too observant, that’s

Aurora's POVThe blade of the knife poked my back and all I could see and imagine was the body of Fred that crashed on the floor a few weeks ago.Pressing my lips into a thin line, my breath hitched against my throat as my heart rammed against my chest in a quick succession. I was terrified but somehow, I was able to hold myself back from passing out in fright. “Come on honey, you’re keeping me in suspense and I don't like it." He cooed, his soft lips brushing against the lobes of my ear. No Aurora, you can't do that. — I countered Gem’s voice in my head. She was bugging me to come out clean but I couldn't bring myself to do it as I was terrified of the aftermath of the revelation. Alpha Gavin had rejected me because of my rank as an omega, same as Jake but Asher accepted me regardless. It could only mean one thing. — He was content with the fact that I was an omega since I wouldn't be challenging his authority. He has his hands wrapped around me and could bend me to his whims

Asher's POV “Why are you impatient?" Silva snarled at me, plopping on the chair, tossing a file in my direction which I caught before it slipped off the table. Drumming his fingers against the table, he mouthed, “I haven’t witnessed someone like Aurora in a while now." “Even in the face of death, she doesn't mind holding on to her identity like it was going to be stolen from her." He huffed, rolling his eyes. "It made me admire her even more.” I chuckled but Silva didn't react, instead he leaned back on the chair and then began to swirl around, leaving me to go through the content of the file.Before now, I already knew getting Aurora to speak was not going to be futile. She has shown me several times that little things weren't enough to shake her. Or should I say it was resilience?Smacking my lips, I plopped on the chair and one after the other, I began to flip through the documents one after the other. “Alpha Simone's daughter?" I asked, eliciting a nod from Silva who snappe

Reader’s POVSeated at the head of the table was Palmer and on both sides of the long table were high ranking officials in the pack. The dimly lit bar was filled with murmurs and soft music seeping from the large speakers in the four corners of the room.But a heavy silence loomed on the table Palmer and the others sat. They all looked uneasy and the frustration all over their faces was evident. “What are we going to do? The elders already acknowledged her and our chances of denting her image are getting slimmer by the day." Monty said, breaking the silence in their midst. “We have to come up with a contingent plan to take her down once and for all." Jason huffed, crossing his hands on his chest, he added, “I had managed to remain under her reins without causing trouble but not anymore."Everyone seated at the table all had one goal and that is to take Aurora down. Since her arrival, they have been unable to go about their daily business unlike when the former leader was still in

Aurora's POV Last night, I could barely get a wink of sleep as Asher’s words kept hunting me non stop.To save myself from another sleepless night, I decided to come out clean during breakfast that morning and so with this in mind, I got ready to face him. Stepping out of my room, there was an undeniable strange atmosphere. The usual sounds of movement of guards and maids on duty, side talks were absent. Titling my head, I tried to get a grasp of the situation but I was quick to shove it aside. By the time I got to the dining room, my curiosity about the unusual happenings became even more pronounced as I was frantically searching for someone to tell me what the issue was. And as if that was not enough, Asher and Silva were not at the table.No matter how many times I tried to beat them at the dining table, they always arrived before me but today it was different.Darting my eyes around, I was waiting for them to pop out of the numerous doors but they didn't step out. “My lady,

Aurora's POV While Miller went on and on, trying to convince me on why I should run away before the palace guards came for me, I was pacing about with my heart inside my mouth.Palmer.What is he up to this time around? It wasn't up to twenty four hours when he handed over the file to me that contained the progress of the faction, only for him to set me up in the most unimaginable way. What was I thinking? I should have left or more still don't do anything as Elder Garrick had insisted but I had refused to be cornered. Now, see where my stubbornness had landed me in.Pressing my lips into a thin line, I tried not to dwell on Palmer’s betrayal but on how to pull myself out of this mess.

The evidence presented was solid, mere words wouldn't be enough to prove my innocence. I have to do something. “Aurora, you have to leave now." Miller s

Aurora’s POVHonestly, it was unbelievable that Asher found my current condition amusing. I wanted to yell at him and express how I felt but I couldn't do that. I was handicapped and the best I could do at this point was to maintain calm. Slowly, I raised my head only to bury it almost immediately.At the moment, he was not just smiling, he had metamorphosed into giggling which made me even more livid but there was nothing I could do.I had been accused of treason and the least I could do was to walk on the tip of my toes with my head bent so I wouldn't annoy him. Recalling his earlier words about me failing either ways, my heart constricted against my chest as my mind raced with different thoughts.Asher was bold with his declaration of presenting my heart to the council. As if that was not enough, he went ahead to affirm his words with a pledge. If care wasn't taken, Asher wouldn't mind killing me even before the end of two weeks. The amusement in his eyes and silent calculatio

Aurora's POVWith his hands now wrapped around my waist, he pulled me to himself so that his warm breath was fanning my tensed face. “Let's stay together tonight." He cooed, his nose brushing against mine while I held my breath. Unable to bear the close proximity between us anymore, I pulled away from him, flashing him a coy smile. “You had a long day, you should get some rest now." I led him towards his bed and the moment I turned to leave, he was already right in front of me. “Just tonight, okay." He mumbled. Taking a deep breath, I had no choice but to consent. That night, sleep eluded me completely as my mind was preoccupied with the conversation I was supposed to be having.Staring at the note which lay lazily on the table, I played and replayed the words in my head. “Meet me at midnight. It’s for your own good.” But midnight had come and gone but I couldn't meet with the sender. Instead, I was lying in Asher's room under his protective gaze. Lying next to him, he had hi

Aurora's POVThe more I tried to suppress the urge to apologize to Asher for acting the way I did, the more the urge became stronger. Unable to hold back anymore, I had no choice but to meet with him with his study. Yanking the door open, the first thing my eyes fell on was a piece of paper lying a few meters from my feet.Curious, I crouched and then picked it up to read the content. Meet me at midnight. It’s for your own good. — That was the content of the note.Brief and cryptic. There was no signature, and the writing was unfamiliar so I couldn't place it. At this point I was torn between the decision of finding out what the person had for me and going to meet with Asher. Taking a deep breath, I pushed my hand into my hair, doing a quick scan of my environment. There was no one in sight so it would be easy peasy to slip out and back without anyone noticing. Just when I was about to disappear down the corridor, the sound of muffled voices rented the air which was followed by

Asher's POVAs much as I wanted to spend the night with Aurora, I couldn't ignore the presence of the old Beta in my study.Silva had informed me of his presence via the mindlink so I had no choice but to rush down immediately. When I arrived, it turned out that he came with his daughter, Miller and apart from the little side talks they were having the study was quiet, like I always wanted it.“I'm here." I said, informing them of my presence.“I know, son." He replied, casting me a glance before nodding at my table. “You should get some rest and then we can talk about it." I wanted to argue, but on second thought,I decided to act in accordance with his words. In that way, I might be able to get a hang of where our conversation would be leading to.Reclining on the swivel chair, I swirled around gently and at intervals, I cast Miller a quiet glance. I had held this to myself for a long while now. It was about Miller’s closeness with Aurora.When she came in at first, Miller fought

Aurora’s POVFinally, it was all over. The accusation, trial and reconciliation with my father has taken a huge toll on me and I would definitely be needing a long time to heal. Groping my way towards the window, I had my hands crossed on my chest, thinking of nothing in particular but what the future held for me. I was certain Asher wouldn't allow me to return to the faction, now what next? My father's departing words and the presence of the mysterious man. — These were just the tip of the iceberg of my worry. Tilting my head to the side with my hands still wrapped across my chest, I let out a low sigh. “Are you alright, Doe?" The unmistakable voice of Asher made me swirl around, connecting my head to his chest instantly. “Hey." I gulped, my heart racing. I had no idea when he walked through the door or even when he halted right behind me. I found myself hitting my palm against my chest just as my heart pounded furiously against it.“Why do you keep walking in like a ghost?"

Reader's POVAlpha Simone returned to his pack lighthearted. He was glad that he was able to save Aurora from being killed unjustly and most importantly, he was grateful that she was no longer in his pack.

If he had treated her the way he wanted, they might have killed her for steering his attention to herself.Now in his study with Leon, Alpha Simone was sipping from his glass of wine as an act of solo celebration while Leon fed him in with what had happened when he was away.Just when he was about to speak, the door flung open and Emma stormed in, followed by Scarlet who was also fuming in anger like her mother.News was all over the place of how he went to the Lycan Kingdom to save Aurora and they had heard about it too; that explains their countenance.

Aurora’s POVPlacing my back against the wall for support, I watched the proceedings in the hall, trying to hold back from passing out. At first, I thought Moore was the one who had sent Freya to steal the journal from my room but he refuted it.And to back up his claim, he said there was someone else, who could that be? The thought made cold beads of sweat break out on my forehead as my heartbeat doubled.Just when I thought it was all over, an unknown enemy was lurking around.Moore urging Asher to make enquiries from Palmer made me raise my head and before I could comprehend what was happening, Asher had slammed Moore’s heart on the table.“What?" I gasped, my heart lurching against my chest as cold chills ran through my spine.No one dared to breathe. The council hall was dead silent like a graveyard.Still staring at the red organ on the table, I grabbed my chest, digging my teeth into my lips. That could have been me.My knees doubled as the realization hit me. Had it been

Asher’s POVWith my hand resting on Aurora's neck, I exhaled deeply, the tightness of my chest loosening.Thanks to Alpha Simone's timely intervention, otherwise things were about to spiral completely out of control. My intention was to make them lose focus for a while before lunging towards Moore, the scapegoat Palmer had presented.Without the journal, the Council members were going to accuse me of trying to save Aurora, otherwise, I would have ended this a long time ago.Tightening my grip around her neck, I leaned in, “Cheer up, everything is fine now." I muttered while she exhaled deeply in response.Pointing at Freya, one of the palace maids, Silva snarled, “You just lost your chance of redeeming yourself.” He said. In fright, she tried to bolt off but the hall had been sealed off completely, no one came in and no one stepped out. While everyone watched, two guards pulled Freya towards me, making her fall on her knees. “I did as I was told." She cried, rubbing her hands vigo

Aurora’s POVIf I had known, I should have given the journal to Asher last night? I shouldn't have insisted on holding onto it to read up every single detail.The journal should have been safer with him but I went way too ahead of myself. I thought I had won fair and square.But how?How did the journal I had kept in my drawer disappear into the thin air without a trace? I wasn't a deep sleeper so if someone has stepped into my room, I should have known right away. It has to be an expert. — I thought, wrapping my hands around myself in fright. At this point with my life hanging on a thin thread which was already sagging, the first thought that came to mind was to run off. Miller had promised to help me when it all began, she was going to keep to her promise this time. And so with this thought ringing in my head, I turned to her for assistance which she did without batting an eyelid. But lady luck was not on our side.I should have joined her in fighting off the guards but they w

Reader’s POVInstead of driving the dagger into her chest like they had all anticipated, Asher placed his hand on her chest and then drove the dagger in and immediately, blood began to spurt.“What are you doing?" Aurora asked, her eyes almost popping from their sockets. “Were you thinking I was going to kill you?" He hissed through pain as Aurora got thoroughly soaked with his blood that kept seeping from his wound.While all this was going on, the council hall was thick with silence. They were all staring and waiting in anticipation of what was going to happen next. “You see what I'm talking about?" Moore said on the top of his voice, breaking the silence. There is not even an atom of remorse in her eyes.” He huffed."She is as defiant as ever, she thinks she is going to get out of this mess easily?” Another official snarled.They were all glaring at Asher and Aurora, each and everyone itching to say something. “She’s dangerous.” Moore spat, his voice laced with venom as he charg
