Asher’s POV

The meeting with three Alphas from the Western area was taking more time than intended.

According to plan, it was supposed to wrap up after two hours but it seemed that wasn't going to happen.

Drumming my fingers against the table, I tried to be present in the meeting but my mind kept drifting off.

I had a pile of papers on my table waiting for my attention so the delay was getting me on the edge.

We were discussing on opening a center which was going to be a neutral ground that would welcome all packs, and rogues who needed shelter.

From my point of view, it wasn't a bad idea in theory. But theory and reality were two different things and I knew how swift good intentions could turn into a political crisis.

Despite knowing this, I allowed the conversation to keep going. Nodding only when it's appropriate and chirping in only a few words.

Finally, the meeting came to an end and I was relieved.

“Thanks for your time." I shook hands with each Alpha one after the other b

    Reader’s POVIn excitement, Stefan forgot about the purpose of his meeting with Asher so he returned home, beaming with excitement.Suspicious, Miller couldn't help but ask the reason for his mood and when he did tell her, she was all over the moon with excitement. She could barely sit still as her father's words replayed in her ears. “The moon goddess is definitely on our side. Just when it seems I wouldn't be able to have Asher to myself, another opportunity pops up." Miller exclaimed while her father looked on, beaming with a smile. “You can say that again but still… I'm a bit skeptical.” He muttered, hands crossed on his chest. Pulling close to her father, Miller leaned forward, her hands grabbing the edge of her seat. "Why? Did he say something else?” She asked, her gaze fixated on him."Not really but… he acted like the idea didn't sit well with him. Soon, he is going to find a replacement for you, I could see it in his eyes and the way he acted."For a moment, Miller didn'

    Aurora’s POVClosing the door gently behind him, he made his way into my room, halting right next to the window, his gaze on me but he said no words. Pulling my legs together, I sat stiffly on the edge of my bed, arms folded across my chest as I stared at the wall like it had offended me. “Aurora.” He called, startling me a bit but I didn't show. “Talk to me.” He pressed on.Instead of responding, I began to sulk, refusing to meet his gaze.Closing the distance between us, he said, “Ignoring me won’t fix whatever’s brewing in that head of yours.”I clenched my jaw at his words, still refusing to meet his eyes.Now crouching in front of me, he lowered himself until he locked eyes with me.“What happened?” He asked, his tone softer than before. “Is it about Miller?”Against my wish, I let out a shaky breath.I hated that he could read me so easily, I hated how exposed it made me feel. It was like he could peel away every layer I tried to wrap around myself.“I’m sorry.” He muttered ,

    Aurora’s POVStanding behind Asher's study door, I was fiddling with my finger, trying to come up with the perfect words to say to him.Just this morning, a message had come through Mira, informing me my father had requested for my presence.It sounded urgent that I wanted to go see him right away but I couldn't. I didn't want to do anything without speaking to Asher first.Taking a deep breath, I connected my fist to the door. “Come in.” Asher said, his voice deep and commanding as ever.Once again, I exhaled and then pushed open the door, stepping inside and immediately I froze.Miller was there and as if that was not enough, she was standing a little too close to Asher and he wasn't pushing her away either. A strange, sharp feeling stabbed into my chest as a wave of emotion hit me.Jealousy, insecurity? I had no idea. I didn't move further into the room, I just stood there, my heart twisting painfully as I tried to act neutral. "Am I interrupting?" I asked lightly, unable to hi

    Aurora POV"You are nothing but a lowlife, what do you think of yourself?" My Step mother yelled at me, grabbing a fistful of my hair, as a loud yelp escaped my lips."I'm sorry Mom," I managed to stutter, but that earned me a sharp slap across my cheeks."Keep your apologies to yourself Aurora, I don't need it!" She barked, releasing my hair slowly, a sense of relief washed over my entire body, but it didn't last."The only thing I need from you, is make sure you don't reveal to anyone that you have received the Alpha wolf, or else, you know very well what I'm capable of" She threatened, looking at me with disgust in her eyes.My sister and I turned twenty today, and the moon goddess was so kind enough to bless us with our wolf, luckily for me, I received mine, not just a wolf, an Alpha wolf.I was elated and my joy knew no bounds, I couldn't wait to inform my father about it, as I wondered how he would react to this news of mine, even though he hated me, afterall i was nothing other

    Aurora POV."No no.. please do not do this" I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain as I gripped Gavin's shirt.What was happening? Why would he call me an Omega? And how did he get to find out about this?Tears blurred my vision as my gaze landed on my stepsister, watching me with a smirk on her lips.She did this!But this was my opportunity, I will reveal the truth to Gavin now, he only rejected me because he thought I was an omega, but once he learns the truth, he will accept me and that is for sure."I...""Accept the rejection Aurora," Gavin growled, pushing my hand off his shirt so hard that I staggered backwards."Please, hear me out at least" I struggled to say."I want nothing to do with a useless person like you, accept the rejection now or else, I will snap your neck and feed your body to my dogs" Gavin threatened, fury swirling in his eyes."I...I Aurora Gemstone, accept your rejection" the words slipped out my mouth and instantly the mate bond between us, snapped into

    Aurora POV.Have you ever wished for death? Cried out your eyes, begging for your life to come to an end but it didn't happen.That was the exact same situation I found myself in, laying on the cold cell floor, hopeless and lifeless.It's been seven days, of pure torture since my father ordered that I should be locked in here, no food, no light, no water, just darkness, a constant reminder of my cursed fate.A punishment for a crime I didn't commit.Suddenly, for the first time in several days, the main door creaked, as some footsteps grew closer.Hope flooded through my veins as I picked myself up from the cold floor, the investigations must be over by now and everyone must have come to know that I didn't steal the Beta's ring.If it wasn't for my father's orders for me to be thrown into the prison, the entire pack members would have stoned me to death.I had multiple tags to myself, a reject, a thief and now I was a prisoner.First four guards and finally my step mom.I picked mysel

    Asher's POV.“Alpha, we have come with a preposition today, we hope you wouldn't turn down our offer” The first Elder spoke.My eyes danced across the entire room, drinking in the faces of the elders, with every passing day, their ridiculous demands to see me, increased rapidly.Over the same issue.The throne of the Luna was empty as I had no mate.It's not like I had the powers to grant myself a mate, but for years I have searched for her or him, whatever be the case, yet there was no one.Or I would like to believe that the time wasn't right yet. Like my Nana would always say.I maintained my position as the Alpha due to my impeccable strength and wisdom, but the demands for a Luna was starting to cause some uprising in my land.“Go on” I drawled, trying to sound interested in whatever they had to say.“We mean no offence Alpha, as we only want the best for the land, and that is why we have come up with a solution of a mate for you” The man added, looking around to seek support fro

    Aurora POV.“You are mine!” his firm voice filled with assurance echoed in my head as he claimed my lips in a fiery kiss.I was stunned for a second, i couldn't react almost like i was frozen but when Gem kicked again, immediately i pushed the mad stranger off me.“What do you think you are doing?” I managed to utter while trying to catch my breath as my fingers found their way to my neck where he marked me!He fucking marked me!There was a bit of my blood on my neck as I withdrew my fingers, my brows settling into a frown as I raised my head meeting his eyes again. “Who are you and how dare you…” Before I could complete my statement another voice interrupted me.A tall man appeared beside the stranger with an imposing aura, from his clothing i could tell he was someone of utmost importance, one of those sick twisted people that derive pleasure from buying slaves.My lips curled in disdain as i glared at him, but for some reason, in the presence of the man who just kissed me, his au

    Reader’s POVShaking her legs with her hands crossed on her chest, Scarlet was staring at the wall like something only she could read was written on it. Since the previous night, she hasn't been herself after seeing the bond between Asher and Aurora. On the other hand was Emma who was trying to comfort her while Jake was leaning against the door, staring boringly at her. “Are you still brooding over what happened last night? I mean, you should let it slide… You're the one having a hard time here, Aurora is probably having a good time with her mate who dotes on her.” Jake sang like a canary. He did nothing but to fuel the anger which she felt but he didn't care a bit."Jake is right.” Emma said, pressing her hand lightly. “Mom, are you taking sides with Jake now?” She shrieked. "He was with me, he saw how she humiliated me without saying a word.” She yelled while Jake tossed his head backwards in pure frustration. He wanted to yell at her but that was only going to worsen the sit

    Asher’s POVThe atmosphere in the hall was saturated with low music, soft laughter, and the clinking of glasses which rented the air. The regional gathering was everything the meeting of Alphas should be. It was formal, respectful and polished but my focus wasn’t on the conversation around me. Instead, it was on her, Aurora. Since I left the table to meet up with Cain, I couldn't stop looking over my shoulder to take a quick glance at her. I was acting like a teenager in love which gave me thrills. It had been a while since I was this free and relieved so I welcomed it wholeheartedly. The moment Gavin took over my seat I had been occupying, I saw the way her shoulders stiffned, the way her hand curled around her glass of cocktail. As if Gavin’s presence was not enough, Jake walked up to her and then Scarlet. They were too close and the discomfort in her eyes and demeanour couldn't be missed. Several times, I had been tempted to step in, especially when Scarlet joined with a man

    Aurora’s POVWhile I chatted with Gavin earlier, I felt gazes piercing through my skin. They were curious glances since this was my first appearance but still it was too much. I was just like them and not the alien they were trying to make me be with their stares that bored holes in my skin. Among all the people staring, there was Jake, swirling the content of his glass, his eyes not leaving me even for a second. Thanks to the guests all over and the distance between us, I couldn't tell him off like I wanted. Asher was not coming back anytime soon and I was losing my head so I decided to step away from the table pending when he would return. But to my horror, Jake came after me, halting right next to me with a lazy smile dancing on his lips. There was also Scarlet lurking around in the corner. My instincts screamed at me as my fingers curled tightly around the stem of my glass.Running off was the perfect response to this but I didn’t want to cause a scene. This wasn’t the time

    Aurora’s POVA month had passed since Silva's death.A month since I was bathed with his blood and Asher collapsing beside me, almost lifeless. A week since the curse broke, setting a new life ahead of us.The only thing that hadn’t changed was Asher’s refusal to name a new beta.I had brought it up a few days ago, careful not to irk him but he had waved it off with a simple response, “Not yet.”He didn't need to give me reasons because I knew exactly what that meant. He didn’t trust anyone to take up that position, not after Silva’s betrayal. Well tonight, there was a regional gathering in the pack event centre and as the co host, I couldn't escape this not after a year of having it my way.And for the first time since I became the Queen, I was going to attend a formal function by Asher’s side.The regional gathering was a formal event that was heard quarterly.

    Asher’s POVA sharp pain to my head made my eyes snap open as I sat up with a sharp inhale like I was surfacing from a deep river.The room was too quiet as the morning sun filtered through the floral curtains. Looking around, I tried to piece together what had happened the previous night then I heard it. It was the sound of soft breathing by my side that I couldn’t ignore. Titling my head to the side, I saw Aurora, curled up in the chair next to the bed, her mouth was slightly open and she was snoring lightly. Her little arms were wrapped around herself like she was holding something dear to her heart. Her hair which was all over her face was a tangled mess and her dress was soaked with Silva’s blood, she didn’t bother cleaning up after the traumatic night she had undergone. My chest, which had been tightened for a few weeks, was now light. I could breathe freely just like everyone else. My relief and joy knew no bounds. The curse which I had been trying to deal with for years
