Aurora slowly sank to the floor. But the chains were small so her wrist was still in the air hanging with the support of the restraints.Her shoulders slumped as she looked around hazily. She blinked to get rid of the tears. Crusty walls which smelt like blood. It made her feel sick to the stomach.She blinked at the wall where several torturing weapons were hanging like a canvas of death. He was about to use one of them on her.Her mate.Bitter tears blurred her vision again and she let her tears fall.No one has ever yelled at her back in her pack. Her father raised her like a princess. Her brothers were like her Knights in shining armor. She was protected from this cruel world.And now here she was in the dungeons. The one who put her in this place was none other than her mate.Her chin quivered no matter how much she tried to not cry but it was not in her control anymore.Pulling her knees to her chest, she hid her face and wept like a child.She didn't even do anything. How could

Her whole body felt as if it was crushed under a huge weight. Pain. That was all she could feel as she tried to open her eyes but her eyelids wouldn't budge. Her whole body was paralyzed. She was partially aware of her surroundings, there were people around her talking in hushed voices. She tried again but her body wasn't cooperating with her and there was that presence inside her. It was strong and familiar. She could feel it in her soul and just like that she scummed into darkness again.The next time Aurora woke up, she was feeling better as her eyes fluttered open. She groaned as she rubbed her temple to ease the pain. She squinted her eyes at the ceiling. She was in Draken's room. She recalled all the happenings and her heart constricted in pain as she tried to sit up and severe pain shot through her stomach as she winced and palmed the wound. Pushing the blanket away she stared at her clothes. She was just in a shirt that smelled like him. A shiver ran down her spine thinking t

He grabbed her arm in an attempt to stop her but she yanked her arm out of his hold rather roughly."Don't touch me," She hissed and he prowled towards her before standing in front of her blocking her way."You can't leave," he said calmly but she was mad. She has lost her calm."Says, who?" She asked sharply but she didn't sound so rude because her voice was gentle."Your Alpha." He said.Aurora let out a dry humorless chuckle as she glared at him."Enough of this Mr. Alpha. I'm not scared of you anymore. I won't let you strip me of my rights. I won't let you manhandle me. I won't let you treat me like a mole and I won't let you use me as your bait. I'm done being your maid. I tried to make it work but I can't waste my life on your stubbornness of being the big bad Alpha. Congratulations. I'm leaving." The silver in her eyes was shining. Her wolf had changed her personality like boom. Or maybe she's always like this when angry.Draken gulped. His Adam apple bobbed up and down as he p

Draken was back in the room holding a tray in his hands as he placed it on the bed in front of her."I'm not good at it. You'll have to bear with it," He said and Aurora gaped at the bowl of hot steamy soup and then at him. No wonder he made her do all the cooking.Aurora grabbed a spoon as she took a spoon full and it wasn't that bad. He was leaning against the wall beside the window staring at her expectantly as if he was waiting for her to vomit and make a yuck face."It's okay." She said and he peeled his gaze off of her. He walked to the closet, grabbed a shirt and he stepped into the ensuite bathroom.Aurora drank her soup in small sips as he walked out of the bathroom freshly showered. Blood was gone and she wondered if he had healed fully.He sat on the couch and set his eyes on her once again. He stared at her foot which was wrapped in bandages. She looked so pale and weak. It was all because of him and his damaged emotions.He recalled how pack doctors had told him that she

Draken was in the garden. He loves to spend his time in this peaceful place. This place helps him clear his mind. This was a barren place. Nobody takes care of it. It was that woman who made this backyard into beautiful heaven. Each of the flowers in this place was lovingly planted by her. She was the one who made this barren place into this garden which became Draken's sanctuary.He recalled the time he had spent with her at this place. Talking to her as she consoled him on many occasions. She taught him how to love again.Shaking his head he rubbed his palms on his face and sighed. The cool breeze felt calming. It was cold outside. It will be snowing soon; these days.He rubbed his palm together when a light sneeze from some distance had his body going on full alert. Every muscle in his body tensed up. He didn't even smell someone else. With steady steps, he walked closer to where the sound came from. His eyes narrowed when he noticed a fur gown of snow white shade and then long bl

She limped out of his room and stepped into her room. She stared at his shirt and quickly changed and wore his shirt and then she grabbed pajamas from her cupboard and wore them.Her bed looked pretty appealing to her. Maybe she should just sleep here.She was about to get on the bed when a knock was heard before the door opened to reveal shirtless Draken which caused her innocent eyes to broaden as she instantly looked away.He didn't say anything. No questions, no argument. He just walked up to her. Picked her up in his arms bridal style before walking back to his room.He placed her on the bed and she noticed a first-aid box there as well."Pull your shirt up to your chest." He instructed and she stared at him dumbfounded. "Charlotte just did it yesterday," Aurora said."Doctor said to change them daily," He said and she hesitated."I can do it myself," she mumbled and he raised his onyx eyes to meet her gaze."Let me do it, Aurora." His deep voice left no space for argument as she

Aurora has almost healed. She wasn't doing any house chores and to her surprise, he had hired a maid to do all the chores.It's been three days and she couldn't stop thinking about that night. He let her see his vulnerable side and it was stuck with her now, roaming in her head like a mantra.She had noticed the change in his behavior. Though he wasn't a kind and gentle person. He tried to be gentle with her. He changed her bandages every night and treated her wounds with utmost care.She wanted to talk to him about the words he had said."Please, don't ever leave me. I'll die this time."She wondered who was cruel enough to hurt him this much. She wanted to console him. Be his comfort but she was afraid herself. Draken wasn't the safe option for her. Either their boat would sail or would drown pretty badly, she didn't know.And then there were those mafia-related files she had seen. Everything aside, she could never accept a man who was involved in hideous crimes like human trafficki

"I...uh... thank you," She mumbled as she noticed that he had already saved his number in her phone.He kept silent, munching on his food. Aurora also noticed that all her contacts were on this phone. He was being too merciful to her.She wanted to ask him so many questions but she didn't. She didn't want to ruin the peaceful environment. She should take things slow one at a time."I want to train," She mumbled and his eyes glided back to her face."Okay," He retorted and her jaw slacked.Wait."Okay?" She asked in a little high-pitched tone full of surprise.He blinked at her, feigning innocence. "Yeah," He breathed, shoving food in his mouth."I'll join beta Eren with the morning training," She said all excited."No," he deadpanned and her face fell."But," She whispered sullenly."I'll be the one training you," He proclaimed and she gawked at him.She can't train with him. He'll be the strict cold trainer who would surely make her regret even thinking about training."B...but, I'm

A knock on the door caught her attention as the door opened and Draken stepped in. His huge stature blocked the whole doorway. She looked at him expectantly and he flitted his gaze away. "I've to attend a party tonight. Be ready by 7." He said and she blinked at him confused. "I uh... I don't have a dress," She mumbled, still muddled. "I've ordered a dress, you'll receive it in an hour." He said and she tilted her head with furrowed brows. "Is it in the pack?" She asked. "No, it's in the city," He said and her frown deepened. "Okay," She mumbled as he glanced at her once before leaving. She stared at the closed door for a while. He was taking her out to a party. She recalled how in the beginning he said he didn't want her family to know that she was doing okay. From what she had learned. He would treat her with respect and care in front of his pack but he didn't want anyone else to know about this and she wondered why. Just as he said, she received the dress. She took it out

The place was huge and decorated beautifully. Her father often used to give such lavish parties so she was used to it but the only difference was, she didn't know anyone there. She noticed that humans and werewolf species both were present.She also got piercing glances from the people which made her step closer to Draken.Draken was uneasy as soon as they stepped inside the grand Hall. He was quick to notice many men's eyes on Aurora and all he wanted to do was rip their eyes out of their sockets.He instantly regretted bringing her along but he couldn't afford to put her life in danger. What if more men were sent in disguise to kill Aurora just like Echo?But there was another important reason he brought her tonight. He was sure one of her brothers would be here. He didn't tell her about it but he wanted her to meet her brother. She would like it, won't she?They stood at the table as Draken lowered his head to her ear. "Don't drink or eat anything here. Okay?" He said and she light
