All Chapters of The Fragments Of Our Marriage : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

! Third Person’s Pov ! Aurora took a deep breath as she stepped outside the pack house, the cool evening air brushing against her skin. She needed time to think, to clear her head, and figure out what her next step would be. The path ahead of her was uncertain, but one thing she knew for sure was that she couldn’t stay here much longer. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the dirt road that led back to her home. The walk felt longer than usual, every step heavy with the weight of her thoughts. How was she supposed to start her life over? Where would she go? What could she do? As she walked, memories of the past year flooded her mind—the hopes and dreams she once had, all now shattered by Zayn and his family. The thought of starting over was daunting, but it was also the only way she could survive. She couldn’t stay in this place where everyone looked at her with pity or disdain. She needed to find her own path, one that didn’t involve Zayn or the pack. When she finally r

### Chapter: TakenThe sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden light over the backyard as I sat on the grass, trying to clear my head. The events of the past few days had been overwhelming, and I needed some time to myself. The constant pressure from my family, the encounter with Zayn in the woods, and the looming threat of the meeting at the palace—it was all too much.I closed my eyes, letting the gentle breeze wash over me, hoping it would bring some sense of peace. But peace was elusive these days. Every time I thought I could breathe, something new would come crashing down on me.I was lost in thought when I heard the distant sound of engines approaching. My eyes snapped open, and I turned to see a fleet of black cars driving up the narrow path that led to our house. My heart skipped a beat when I noticed the royal symbol emblazoned on the doors. My breath caught in my throat as dread settled in my stomach. This wasn’t just a visit—this was trouble.Before I knew it, the

Zayn sat in the grand living room, his mind replayed the conversation with Isla from earlier. Aurora’s letter had shaken him more than he’d like to admit. He had always prided himself on his ability to control everything, including his emotions, but now, things felt like they were slipping through his fingers.Just as he was about to get lost in his thoughts again, Isla walked back into the room, her eyes watching him closely.“Zayn,” she began, her voice calm but probing, “do you even feel anything for Aurora?”He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he leaned back on the couch and crossed his arms over his chest. “Feel? What kind of question is that?” he replied, sarcasm dripping from his voice. “I feel… irritated, mostly.”Isla narrowed her eyes at him. “That’s not what I mean, and you know it. I’m talking about the mate bond. Don’t pretend it’s not real.”Zayn clenched his jaw, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. “Mate bond? Don’t start with that nonsense, Isla. I’m not some love-st

The sun was setting as Zayn’s sleek, black car pulled up to Aurora’s family house. The house was modest, small compared to the grandeur of the palace or even the homes of other pack members. Zayn stepped out, his presence commanding the attention of anyone nearby. His eyes, cold and calculating, scanned the house as he walked up to the front door. He wasn’t here to play games—he wanted Aurora, and he wanted her now.The door swung open before he could even knock, and Aurora’s father, a stern man with deep lines of worry etched into his face, stood in the doorway. His posture stiffened at the sight of the prince, and though his pride was bruised, he knew better than to disrespect someone of Zayn’s rank.“Your Highness,” her father said, bowing slightly. “What brings you to our home?”“I’m here to see Aurora,” Zayn said, his voice sharp and unyielding. He wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries.Her father nodded, though a flicker of confusion crossed his face. “Aurora? She’s... she should

### Aurora’s POVI was pacing around the small room, frustration coursing through me. Mina sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling nervously with her hands. She had been acting strange all morning, like she had something to say but didn’t want to.Finally, she blurted it out. “Zayn came to the house.”I stopped dead in my tracks. “What?”“He was asking for you,” she said quietly, her eyes not meeting mine. “Your father covered for you, told him you weren’t around. But… Aurora, he was mad.”I scoffed. “When is he not mad? What did he want this time?”Mina sighed. “He demanded to see you, said you had no right to skip out on the meeting.”Of course, it was about that damn meeting. My blood boiled at the thought of Zayn trying to control me, again. I had enough.“That’s it,” I muttered, grabbing my coat.“What are you doing?” Mina asked, panic rising in her voice.“I’m going to talk to him. I’m sick of this.”Mina rushed to my side, grabbing my arm. “No, Aurora, please don’t. You know how h
