Chapter 21: The howl at midnight

Aurora jerked away suddenly and sat up on the bed. She looked around the room, wondering what had aroused her from sleep. The time on the bedside table showed that it was few minutes to midnight. How had she fallen asleep? She had taken a warm bath and Matilda had brought up a dinner tray for her. When she inquired of Henry's whereabouts, Matilda shrugged, saying she hadn't seen him. Aurora didn't think much of it. She thought Henry would come around to check up on her like he usually did before retiring to bed. She then ate her dinner silently, listening closely for Henry's approaching footsteps. Even after Matilda came to take the dinner tray away and bid her good night, Aurora still stayed awake. She thought Henry was working late, and he would knock on her door any minute. But after battling with sleep for an hour, she finally succumbed. Now she was awake, wondering if Henry came at all. Pushing the thick covers off her legs, she climbed out of bed and walked into the bathro

Chapter 22: Henry's curse

Tyler stepped through the hidden door leading to the underground room and secured it with the heavy metal lock. Then he hurried over to where the other lycan soldiers stood and grabbed the crossbow leaning against the wall. "Is he still struggling to escape?" He asked. "Yes, beta Tyler." The soldier named Owen answered. "The chains are strong, but I don't think the silver has an effect on him anymore.""That's why I brought this." Tyler said, grabbing the bottle from his pocket. "This should weaken him.""Aconite." Owen gasped, and the other soldiers moved away in fright. They knew how deadly that poison was. "Remember the Alpha's instructions." Tyler reminded them. "We can't risk him breaking free again. Not with Miss Thompson's presence in the castle.""But won't it kill him?" Knox, another soldier asked worriedly. "I'm just going to inject him with a very tiny amount." Tyler said. "Enough to weaken him so he won't break free."He carefully uncapped the lid of the bottle and di

Chapter 23: Am I falling for him?

The three days that Henry wasn't present in the castle felt like three years to Aurora. She didn't realize how much she missed him until now. Each hour felt like an eternity. Even relaxing beside the fountain with Matilda didn't help. She just wanted him to come back. Also, after that night she heard the howl, she never heard it again, which was strange. She wanted to tell Tyler about it, but he would probably not believe her. Finally, on the third day, Aurora woke up earlier than usual and rushed to the bathroom to prepare herself. It was the day Alpha Henry was returning and she wanted to look her best. As she brushed her hair before the mirror, she stared at her reflection and questioned herself. "Am I falling for him?"It was a difficult question to answer. When she arrived at Ashidore, she made a vow to never fall for another man's charm. She had fallen for Bishop, and it turned out terrible. Now was she falling for Alpha Henry? Of course he was so handsome and charming. Hi

Chapter 24: You make me burn for you

Henry didn't mean to kiss her, but his body had gone out of his control. The aftershock of his transformation had stimulated his body to its limit. And Aurora wasn't prepared for his kiss, but her body responded immediately. She let out a soft moan as he lifted her hands and pinned them above her head. He broke the kiss for a few seconds, kissing down the smooth column of her throat hungrily. His lips burned a fiery path down her chest to the swell of her breasts, leaving her skin burning with goosebumps. She gasped when he released her wrists and grasped her hips, pulling her tight against him. His palms stroked her gently, caressing the curve of her hips and buttocks. Aurora blushed at the action. No one had ever touched her so intimately and it awakened something hot within her. There was a sweet throbbing between her thighs and she unconsciously rubbed against him, pushing against the thick bulge in his pants. Henry groaned and claimed her lips again. The air around them beca

Chapter 25: You take my breath away

Three days later, Henry's relatives arrived at Ashidore. Within that three days, Aurora and Henry had grown closer. The news slowly spread around the kingdom about Aurora being Henry's new mistress. The shifters all had a lot to gossip about. Many thought it was only a matter of time before Henry would send her away, like he did the rest. Early morning of the third day, a carriage arrived at Ashidore's gates. It was Henry's step-aunt and her children. Aurora was in her room preparing to join Henry at the lower floor, to welcome the guests. She was nervous though. The years she lived with her own step-aunt had really messed up her life and she feared that this particular one would be the same. Heartless. Though Matilda had told her that the woman and her children were nice, she still couldn't help but feel a bit terrified. "All done." Matilda said, stepping back to examine her work. Aurora turned and gazed at her reflection in the mirror. She had to admit to herself, she looked

Chapter 26: I'm glad you're mine

Aurora had never been so embarrassed in her entire life. Lady Dowager's words struck her like a blow, slapping away her entire self-esteem. To be seen as nothing more than a man's mistress was the biggest insult to her personality. In the split second it took for Lady Dowager's words to sink in, she noticed Celia and Collins staring at her haughtily. Fortunately for her, Henry came to her rescue. His calm demeanor turned cold instantly and he glared at the woman. "Watch your mouth step-aunt." He said in a dead calm voice. "I will not tolerate such words. Aurora and I are in a relationship, so as long as you live in my kingdom, you will show her the same respect you show me. Is that clear?""A relationship." Lady Dowager exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise. "Oh forgive me Henry. I had no intention of being offensive. That wasn't my intention." "For your sake, I hope it's true." Henry muttered. "My dear Aurora." Lady Dowager beamed a fake smile at Aurora, taking her hand in hers

Chapter 27: You drive me insane Aurora

Aurora wasn't expecting that particular request. She stared back at Henry silently, mulling over his words. "I don't know if I'm ready." She mumbled. "Ready for what?" Henry asked. He took her hand and gently kissed each finger tip, watching her with heated gaze. Aurora looked away shyly. How was she supposed to tell him that she wasn't ready for that part of their relationship? What Bishop did to her was still fresh in her memory. It would be difficult. But Henry understood. "I would be a liar if I say I don't want to make love to you." He said. "You drive me insane Aurora. The urge to rip your dress off and feel your body against mine is so hard to resist."His words were so raw, yet it made Aurora yearn for more. The way he looked at her as he spoke did wicked things to her. "But I know you're not ready." Henry continued. "And I understand why. I only want you to move in with me, so I can go to sleep holding you close. So I can wake up next to you and feel your warmth.""I wan

Chapter 28: What happened at the temple?

Henry arrived at the borders of Ashidore in his massive lycan form. He towered above the warriors gathered in a circle, his thick dark fur ruffling in the afternoon breeze. Within a second, he transformed. He shifted smoothly, his lycan form receding rapidly until he was standing beside them in his human form. "What's the problem?" He asked coldly. His golden eyes glared at the six council members and they cowered under his fearsome gaze."Something happened at the ancient temple." Tyler reported to him. Hearing the news, Henry frowned. The ancient temple was a sacred place for lycans and werewolves. It was located hundreds of miles away from Ashidore and shifters who needed help from the moon goddess traveled there to make an offering. It wasn't guarded because it was the shifter's place of worship. But Henry made sure he put someone there to watch over the temple, because there was something of grave importance that was hidden there. An object that could cause great havoc to th

Chapter 29: I don't trust that woman

The next few weeks at the castle went quite uneventful. Henry sent out an army of lycans every week to find the dragon eggs that had been stolen. Yet, it all proved fruitless. The dragon eggs remained hidden. On the other hand, Aurora wished Lady Dowager and her children would leave. But it seemed they planned to stay for a while. She knew the woman and her children were up to something, but she couldn't just figure it out. She had to be careful though. Lady Dowager clearly despised her, and she was careful whenever she was around them. One day, after they had breakfast, an unexpected visitor arrived at the front of the castle. It was Lydia, Aurora's step-aunt. Aurora was curled up in the library with Henry, reading a book that piqued her interest. It was just like every other normal day, where she and Henry spent hours alone, talking about themselves, and sharing hot, passionate kisses. On this day, Aurora was reading out of a book to Henry who held her against him possessivel

Chapter 30: I'm selling you off

The carriage was totally silent as it pulled through the forest. Aurora had nothing to say. She hadn't been close with Lydia, hence she couldn't bring herself to make small talk. She wouldn't have followed her back after everything she went through in the woman's hands. But then it was her dying wish. Besides, she wanted to see her best friend Penelope. She would stay a few days with Lydia, then go over to Penelope's home for a night before returning to Ashidore. She just hoped Bishop wouldn't realize she was back in the pack. "You've changed so well dear." Lydia said suddenly. Aurora turned around to find her step-aunt staring at her. "I barely recognized you when I saw you." Lydia smiled. "You've grown so beautiful. So mature."Aurora looked away and mumbled. "Thank you.""The Alpha King must be really taking good care of you." Lydia continued. She lifted a hand and tried to touch Aurora's hair. Aurora leaned away, turning her head to the side. Just because she agreed to go b
