All Chapters of She's Mine To Claim: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The castle suddenly became lifeless without Aurora. She was the ray of sunshine and with her absence, it became cold and gloomy. Henry locked himself in his study everyday, refusing to step out. He stayed for days without eating a bite. All he could think about was Aurora. The only time he left his study was to go to the underground room and chain himself when the full moon came. And each time he transformed, he ordered Tyler to inject him with a lot of aconite, enough to knock him out for the three days. Tyler had no choice but to agree to his Alpha's orders. With each transformation, Henry turned weaker and weaker from the poison in his blood stream. Yet he ordered Tyler to continue. He had nothing to live for. His kingdom didn't matter to him anymore. Without Aurora by his side, he felt empty. The steel door behind the wall was repaired and the crumbled wall built back to prevent him from somehow escaping, and to protect the people in the castle. And then one day, Shota came

Aurora stared at the doorknob as it rattled, her heart lodged in her throat. Someone was trying to break into the house. She slowly retreated, her gaze locked on the door. There was no one to save her from whoever was out there. She had to do something. She was a powerful hybrid, not some weak creature. When she felt the wall behind her, she drew in a deep breath and slowly let it out. Where could she hide? The room wasn't big enough and the only hiding place was the bathroom. Hiding in the bathroom wouldn't be a good idea because she would be cornered. Suddenly she had an idea. She tiptoed towards the dresser and grabbed a metal bar from within it. Moving across the room as quietly as she could, she crouched beneath the window and used the dark curtains to shield herself. A loud click echoed across the room as the door lock sprung open. Aurora's grip tightened around the metal bar as heavy footsteps sounded inside the room. She held her breath and tried to stay as still as poss

"Mother?" Aurora whispered, staring at Kahlan's translucent figure. Kahlan's body floated forward, her dress trailing behind her. Then slowly but steadily, she turned solid until she was standing right in front of Aurora on her feet. Her lips lifted in a warm smile and she held out her arms to Aurora. "I've waited to hear you say that for so long." She whispered. Tears spilled out of Aurora's eyes and she threw herself into Kahlan's arms, sobbing softly. Kahlan's arms wrapped around her daughter and she shut her eyes, finally at peace. For so many years, she had waited and hoped Aurora would find the truth someday. And now that it happened, she felt complete. "But how?" Aurora asked, pulling back to stare at Kahlan. It was like staring back at her reflection. "How is this possible? How can I hold you? You're... you're not even... alive."Kahlan smiled and took her hands in hers. "You've discovered the truth of your identity, now I don't have to appear in your dreams anymore." Sh

That morning, Aurora couldn't stop thinking of her conversation with her mother. She knew she had to return to Ashidore, but she didn't want to return immediately just because her mother told her to do so. Of course she would forgive Henry. She had already forgiven him in her heart. But forgetting everything he did wouldn't be as easy as forgiving him. She heaved a sigh and finally got off the bed. Making her way to the bathroom, she stripped and took a long bath. The cool water cleared her head and by the time she stepped out, she felt much better. As she slowly dressed up and prepared to leave the house, a thought suddenly occurred to her. If she kept thinking of everything Henry had done, she would never forget it. The only way to forget was if she saw him again. One look from him would erase those thoughts, one glance at his eyes would make her forget everything. That same hypnotic eyes she fell in love with.She made up her mind instantly. She would leave before dawn the next

Aurora stood still as the beast began to approach her. It was now or never. "Henry," She called out softly, trying not to aggravate the furious beast. If she could just connect with his human side, if she could make a connection, then she would be able to get through to him."Henry can you hear me?" She called out. The urge to retreat as the beast stalked closer was so great, but she resisted. She had to be brave. "I'm going to save you." She said, staring straight into the monster's bloodred eyes. "I forgive you for everything Henry. I was wrong to leave you, and I never should have judged you based on what you did years before you met me."The beast let out a furious roar as it stopped before Aurora, his eyes glaring at her with rage. Aurora stood still, staring back at him. She lifted her hand tentatively and tried to touch his fur, but another roar shook her. Tears filled her eyes as she gazed up at him. "Henry I love you." She whispered. "I love you so much, more than you can
