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. Crossing my hands on my chest, I began to pace about, racking my head at the same time to come up with the perfect plan but it was to no avail. 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

Asher’s POVEverything that had happened, a few minutes was all I needed to make everything return to normalcy but I didn't raise a finger.It wouldn't be completely wrong to say it was a perfect trap.One to corner Aurora, make her vulnerable and desperate. In that way, she wouldn't hesitate to reveal her identity she had sworn to hold onto. Who knows if she still wouldn't speak. Aurora was stubborn and strong headed, wanting to do everything on her own without getting assistance from anyone. Well, if she still decides to hold on to her identity, no issue but this ploy was worth the trial.Whoever it was that had set Aurora up had done the most perfect job I had seen in a while.The evidence was so neat and perfectly orchestrated that even a careful analysis might not bring the accurate result. Palmer posing to be the orchestrator was laughable. He was a force to reckon with but I doubt if he would be able to pull something of this sort.Someone was definitely behind him A stron

Aurora's POVThe moment Asher left the council hall, I slid through the wall to the floor, my heart slamming against my chest non stop. Pulling my legs to my chin, I was staring hard at the mahogany table, my heart clenching against my chest as a million and one questions spiraled through my head. “Two weeks, he gave his words." I mumbled, biting my lower lips as I darted my eyes all over the place. Two weeks looked like a long time but it wasn't. Not when I have no idea how I was going to vindicate myself from the allegations. “My lady, you should…” A guard approached me but I didn't wait for him to finish speaking before I pulled myself from the floor and with heavy footsteps, I made my way out of the hall.Getting to my room, I saw Miller standing by the door, her face masked with worry as she paced about.She was yet to see me else she would have scooted to my side long ago.Pushing my hand into my hair, I let out a low sigh and with calculated footsteps, I made my way toward

Aurora’s POV The silence in the room was deafening. Apart from the sound of the ticking clock on the wall, there was no other sound. I could barely breathe and with each passing second, I felt life seeping out of me. Palmer sat across me with his legs crossed and an unreadable expression. He didn't make any move to speak or move his body; he just sat there like a statue. What does he want from me?When he came in earlier ordering Elder Garrick to leave, I was frightened. I wanted to leave too but I held myself from doing so. Biting the corner of my lips, I grasped the edge of the table, my gaze fixated on him just in case he tried anything stupid. Just yesterday, he was victorious that he had placed me in a tight spot and now he was here in my office, acting like nothing happened. Pushing his hand into his hair, he cast me a quick glance causing a shiver to run through my spine but I forced myself to sit straighter.I wouldn't show cowardice, not in my territory and not before

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

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
