All Chapters of She's Mine To Claim: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Aurora are you okay?"Aurora snapped back to the present. Looking up from the book she had been reading, she stared at Penelope wide eyed. "What?""Are you okay?" Penelope repeated. "You've been staring off into space for a while now. Is everything alright?"Aurora dropped the book she held and stretched. "I'm fine Penny.""You don't look fine." Penelope argued. Then she lowered her voice. "Is it because of Kahlan?"Knowing Penelope wouldn't rest until she knew the reason her reason for spacing out, Aurora nodded. "It is." She said. "Have you found out anything about the dark witches yet?""Nothing yet." Aurora shook her head. "Most of the books I found only talk of their powers. Did you know dark witches have the power of healing?""You healed yourself, remember?""No, not just healing myself. We can heal others too." Aurora said, then proceeded to list out what she had read. "Along with healing, we can see the future through visions, create and end life, teleport and go invisibl

"What?" Aurora whispered. It sounded unbelievable. Henry was the monster in her dream? Was that why Kahlan told her to be careful of him? "I was as shocked as you are the day I discovered it." Katherina continued. "I remember standing there, staring in horror as the beast roared at me. The beta tried to push me out, but it was too late. I knew what they were hiding."She paused, and Aurora looked up at her. "What happened then?""Three days later, Henry came out from the underground." Katherina continued. "His beta had already told him everything, so he came straight to me. He was livid, demanding to know why I was sneaking around at night. I lost my temper and we got into a big fight. Then he told me to get my things and leave the castle. I was ready to leave and everything would have ended there, but I made the mistake of threatening him.""How did you threaten him?""I felt so mad and ashamed that he was chasing me away, so I threatened to reveal his secret to the whole of Ashidor

On the day of the next full moon, Aurora was already a mass of ruffled nerves. The question remained. What would she find when night came? Would it change her perfect life? That morning she woke up troubled. She hadn't been able to sleep properly because her dreams were filled with images of Katherina's horrific face, her voice sounding like it came from the depths of an abyss. In one of those dreams, she found herself trapped inside the secret room. But instead of the beast, she was chained to the wall while the monster prepared to attack her. The sleepless nights and troubled dreams disturbed her greatly that when she woke up the next morning, she had dark circles under her eyes. She looked unwell and Henry was very worried. "You haven't been feeling well since the day you shifted." He said to her, one hand caressing her hair. They were still on the bed and the curtains prevented the bright sunlight from filtering into the room. If only Aurora could tell him that the reason fo

Behind the crumbled wall was a steel door that had a very large hole, made from the impact of Aurora's punch. Aurora grabbed the edge of the hole and effortlessly widened it until she was able to pass through. "Aurora please! Stay away! If Henry hurts you, he would hate himself." Tyler yelled. He groaned in frustration when he tried to pull away from the wall and failed. All his efforts were futile. Totally ignoring him, Aurora walked down the stairs that led deeper into the underground. She could see a faint light at the end of the long tunnel and she began to walk towards it. It took forever for her to descend the stairs and walk towards the tunnel. As she reached the edge, she leaned out a little, dreading what she would see. Her eyes slowly grew accustomed to the dimmess and she let out a loud gasp when she saw him. The monster. He towered high above her, reaching the ceiling. He was a terrible beast, with fur as dark as night. His eyes glowed pure gold. Those golden orbs t

"Aurora..." Henry called out in a raspy voice, his eyes pleading with her. But she moved away from him, putting a lot of distance between them. "You've been lying to me." She said, her voice barely above a whisper. "All the time I've been here, every word that has come out of you, is all a lie.""Aurora...""I trusted you." Aurora continued in a trembling voice, not giving him a chance to speak. "You made me fall in love with you. Yet you looked me in the eye everyday and lied to my face.""Aurora please...""I'm... I'm such an idiot." She cursed, covering her face with her hands to hide her tears. "No. Don't do that to yourself." Henry uttered. His voice was raw with emotion. "You're right. I lied to you. I kept so many secrets away from you, and you have every right to be upset...""Upset?" Aurora repeated incredulously. "You think I am just upset? You betrayed my trust Henry. I thought I fell in love with a hero, a knight in shining armor... but... you're a monster..."Her words
