Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King. Thirty Seven
Aurora’s POVAll of a sudden, the lights which went off flickered on and the figure standing right beside the door was no other than Asher.What in heaven's name was he doing here? When the door creaked open, I was expecting assassins to swoon in on me.Pushing his hands into his pockets, he arched his back and for the next few minutes that followed, no one said a word.I wasn't surprised to see him, I was just shocked since I wasn't expecting him to be anywhere around.Clearing my throat, I decided to break the silence as it was getting uncomfortable and annoying. “What are you doing here?” I scoffed, folding my hands across my chest. “I was… scared something bad will happen to you.” He said, his tone dripping with sincerity but I was unfazed.He was feigning; this I was fully convinced of. “You only have three days left…” He wanted to start rambling but I pushed my hand forward, halting him and sending his words down his throat.“And since when did you start to care?” I huffed. I

Reader’s POVWith a deep frown etched on her face, Miller was making her way towards Palmer’s office. When she learnt that he wasn't making any move to send Aurora away like he had promised her the last time they met, she erupted in anger. Palmer had gotten the message she sent for meeting during lunch so he was on his way to meet her when they crossed paths. Without a word, she grabbed his hand, pulling him back into his office and slamming his door shut while he looked on. Cocking his brow, he asked, “What is all this about?" “You were supposed to send her away.” She snarled, her fists clenched and eyes reddened in anger.“We agreed, Palmer. We agreed that this was the perfect time to get rid of her and while you take over her position, I will take my place next to Asher.” Palmer tossed his head to the side, a low wince escaping from his lips."You wanted to have lunch with me. Tell me, what were you planning to tell me then?” When she wouldn't answer, he snapped his fingers,

Aurora’s POVA day left.Tossing my feet from my bed, I lazily made my way towards the window, yawning widely. Last night was a long one and I could finally fall asleep in the early hours of the morning. Though Asher’s tale of my father coming to plead on my behalf sounded like a fairy tale, a part of me wanted to believe it but I couldn't bring myself to do so. My father was no different from stepmom and Scarlet who had sworn to make my life a living hell.Why then did he meet with Asher to plead my innocence? As if it was not enough, he even offered to give half of the pack to him for my life to be spared.Shaking my head sideways, I bit my lower lips.“He is trying to make peace now that I’m the Queen." I huffed, rolling my eyes.“Too bad I have nothing to offer at the end of the day. I’m going to be dead soon." I mouthed. Shifting my gaze towards the door, I watched as the knob was twisted and the next second, Asher had poked his head in.His face which was masked with worry

Aurora’s POVShifting from one foot to the other, I was uneasy. Palmer was still staring, the smirk on his lips getting even more wide but he said nothing. Spreading his hands apart and with a shrug, he said, “You see, I’m loyal." Scrunching his brows and waving his hands in my face, he added, “I don't go back on my words, huh." Rolling my eyes at him, I huffed.“What am I going to give to you in return?" I asked, crossing my hands on my chest with my gaze fixated on him.“I don't need anything for now." He mouthed. “When the time is right, I will make my request and I hope you won't ignore me when I do." Without a word to him, I turned on my heels and then began to head towards the door. I was about to slam the door shut when Miller stepped out, flashing a smile at me which I returned. "Hey,” I didn't respond as I led the way down the hallway. Somehow, there was no officer or anyone in the vicinity to boo me so I took my time making the walk from Palmer’s office back to the Pa

Reader’s POVMorning came too quickly for Aurora who had barely had a good sleep in several days. Gritting her teeth, she turned around only to use her pillow to shield her eyes from the morning sun that was filtering into her room.“Ugh." She groaned, throwing her feet off the bed only to fall back on it with a thud, a bright smile dancing on the side of her lips. Tilting her head to the side, she couldn't help but imagine the look on the faces of everyone that had once accused her of treason. Covering her face with both hands, she couldn't help but to laugh out aloud in delight. She was finally going to clear her name and so she was supper excited about the prospect. This time, she sat up without falling on her back and with a light heart, she went ahead to get ready for the trial. “The journal." She mouthed, pushing her hand forward only to grasp air. At first, she didn't think much about it but when she repeated her actions three more times and got the same result, a frown q

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

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

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

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

Aurora’s POVLooking over my shoulders, I couldn’t breathe.I was expecting to see Silva, towering above me and Asher with a triumphant look on his face but he was there, lying lifeless on the ground just like Asher who had collapsed a while ago. What happened?A million and one questions were making rounds in my head but there was no one to answer them.One second, Asher was standing, pulling me away from Silva's corpse and then examining me with a sense of urgency but the next minute his legs gave out. He dropped to the ground with a thud that made my heart fall right into my stomach. “Asher?” I whispered, leaning close. I was waiting for him to snap his eyes open and tell me it was a joke to scare me. I wouldn’t be mad, I just wanted him to snap his eyes open and put an end to this.But still, he didn’t respond. His eyes were closed. There was no blood, no wounds I could see but he wasn’t moving. He just lay there, motionless. Unable to hold back anymore, I mustered the last st

Aurora's POVIt happened so fast. Just as Asher was about to lunge at me and tear me into pieces, a strong hand pulled me from outside and the next sound I heard was the door slamming shut. Breathing heavy, I stared at the closed door; my heart lunged inside of my mouth. Behind the door was Asher, he was a seething beast. I wanted to run but I couldn’t move my feet as I kept staring at the door, my lips slightly apart. “What were you doing there? Trying to get yourself killed, huh?” Elder Jared yelled, he was the one who had pulled me out of his study. “I…” I tried to speak but a hard jam on the door made me scramble to my feet at once. “Don’t be anywhere around him until the curse breaks.” He said, nodding towards the opposite side of the hall. I didn’t ask any questions, I just did as I was told. At dusk, I made my way to the garden. At least, I was safer here than being in the palace where Silva and Asher were actively after my life. The night air was cold, but I couldn’t go
Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King. Sixty Two
Asher's POVIt had been a week since I saw Aurora or even spoke to her. Though it was necessary, it was tough trying to keep away from her just in case the curse snapped but I had to do it. I had promised not to kill her and this was the least I could do, staying away from her. During this time, I spent countless hours reviewing the documents Palmer kept bringing to my table. Seeing all these broke my heart as I wasn’t expecting Silva of all people to be plotting my downfall. We had come a long way for him to backstab me. I felt stupid because I defended him countless times only for the truth to prevail. After informing Elder Jared, my personal adviser, what I had been up to, he had suggested I made Silvia be the victim of the curse and I didn’t argue. He deserved to die and I will do that happily as long as my mate will be free from the shackles of the curse. Earlier when I left the reception room where everything had been staged, there was a victorious smirk on the side of my

Aurora's POVYet to register the shock of seeing him and Silva in the reception room, he had requested for a document. Standing there with my heart lodged in my chest, I kept staring into space, thinking of nothing in particular as my heart rammed against my chest. I was scared, Silva’s gaze was on me and it seemed like he could see through me. Folding my hands in front of me with my head bowed, I tried to leave but my legs were suddenly glued to the ground. My neck became stiff so I couldn’t raise it or twist it to the side. “I have other things to handle, why are you wasting my time?” Asher broke the silence in the room. Raising my head slowly, I managed to lock eyes with him though it was for a split second. His expression was blank and unreadable and he wasn’t even sparing me a glance.Maybe this wasn’t about Silva. Maybe this was about me?Unknowingly to me, I had been holding on to an important document that could either crash or save the Kingdom. Who knows if Palmer was

Aurora's POVIt had been more than ten minutes since I returned to my room, yet, I still remained in the middle of my room. My hands were resting lazily on my waist as I stared out of the window. This was the exact reason why I tried to avoid Palmer but I failed at it. Grabbing my head with both hands, I lowered myself, sitting on my legs and still staring into space. “Silva?" I muttered. No way!Silva is Asher’s best friend. There is no way he will try to dethrone his best friend whom he had been loyal to for years. Clenching and unclenching my fists, I tried to piece together all that I had been fed with but the more I tried, the more confused I became.I was slowly losing my mind. It was just a matter of seconds before I lost it completely.Hurrying towards the safe in the corner of my bed, quickly typed in my password and immediately, the door flipped open.Pulling out the file Palmer had given to me as a trophy, I ran my fingers around the edges for a while before emptying t

Aurora's POVIt’s been a week since the incident and I had done everything within my means to stay away from Asher and to my delight it worked.Though I haven't made any attempt to run off just yet, the agenda is in my head and when the time is right, I will leave. This time around, he wouldn't be able to catch me even by the whiskers.“Are you having your breakfast here?" Mira asked, poking her head through my door. Shaking my head sideways, I muttered, “I will eat at the dining table today." I replied, while she just nodded. To avoid Asher, I had steered clear from all places he would frequent and also, I had made sure he had no access to my room. Apart from Mira, no one else was free to get in. “Are you sure about it?" Mira asked. We were on our way to the dining room now. “Yeah! Or, were you trying to pull my legs when you said he had been skipping his meals too?" I asked, halting midway with my gaze on her. For one long week, I had remained in my room and now I wanted a ch

Asher’s POVNothing went past my notice in the palace. I saw everything from my study. The guard had helped Aurora on the horse, he was going to help her escape. There was no way I was going to sit back and watch that happen and so without wasting time, I went after them, following the opposite direction and the quickest path that led to the border.The moment the guard lost focus for a moment and Aurora was contemplating crossing over, I lunged forward and with just a slash that ruptured his artery, he was at my feet. I was raving mad so I remained in the shadows trying to soothe myself before facing her. If I confronted her this way, she was going to end up like the guard. When I finally did, she passed out right before I could confront her. At first I wanted to leave her as a form of punishment for defying my orders twice but then again, I couldn't.Rouges was on rampage and my right sense of judgement wouldn't allow me to leave without taking her along. After a thorough che

Aurora's POV “She is here with me. Don't pull that stunt ever again." Asher said, his voice low but chilling.“Who's there?" I asked, checking his face for an answer.“Silva." He replied and immediately, my face was drained of all its colors. I was right when I said fooling Asher was a piece of work. Acting all cool despite knowing what his Beta did was a whole different level of…I honestly don't know what to say but it was scary.Why am I always in an unpleasant spot?Knowing Asher could sense what was going on around him with ease made cold chills run through my spine, my heart slamming furiously against my chest. It wouldn't be a surprise if he could count my raged heartbeat. “The next time you try running away, I won't be able to keep my anger in check." He pulled away from me and with his back now turned on me, he said, “Who knows if the curse is going to snap and the death you have been trying to escape from will come for you?” I gulped, wiping my sweaty palm against my go
