CHAPTER 11

AURORA’S POV.All eyes are on me, including Lucien's. His father, the Alpha King has his eyes wide open in total disbelief. The elders are murmuring words like “impossible” under their breaths and Lucien looks amused by my audacity. The tension in the air can suffocate someone in the next room. My heart has flown to the moon without me.What I just said is going to cause a ruckus. Maybe put me in even more trouble, but I couldn't just stay still and do nothing to defend myself. I will not be hanged for a crime I did not commit.“How dare you!” The Alpha King finally breaks the unbearable silence in the room. Red, Hot rage flashes in his eyes as they turn red. “How dare you try to take advantage of my son! How dare you use his name to cover up for your heinous crime!” Thick searing heat distributes itself throughout my body as my gaze flicks between father and son. The Alpha King's murderous gaze lingers along the length of my body, long enough to strike a match to light the fluid flow

CHAPTER 12

AURORA'S POV.I finally breathe in oxygen when we step out of the office into the hallway. The air in there felt like sulfur steam. All that tension, judgmental looks from the elders, and the spiteful words they threw at me. I wonder how I didn't evaporate into nothingness while I was there.“Aurora.” Lucien's call jabs me out of my thoughts. I halt in my tracks when he turns my way. He looks pissed. His jaws are twitching and his entire body is as rigid as a rock. I have no idea how to behave with him right now.He doesn't believe I'm innocent and he doesn't believe I'm guilty either.How am I supposed to talk to or act towards him when he has mixed feelings towards me?“Yes.” That is all I manage. My heart stops when he starts closing the gap between us. I try to maintain the distance by taking a few steps back, but soon enough, my back hits against a wall, impaling any further moment.I am trapped between his enormous body and the wall. Transfixed by his piercing gaze. He cannot af

CHAPTER 13

AURORA'S POV.I toured the bedroom. I’ve taken inventory of the sophisticated and spacious closet and I am impressed. Everything looks neat and screams wealth. This bedroom is a dream come true kind of bedroom even though it feels very empty.Right now I'm sitting on the bed, not knowing what to do with myself. Alpha Lucious said servants would come in and I can't wait for that to happen. I can't wait to finally have someone to talk to.Thirty minutes fly by again and I'm about to get on the bed and sleep when I hear a knock on the door. Every cell in my body comes to life. The door handle creaks and as the door is pushed open, my excitement builds. A cheerful smile appears on my face as three elderly women, dressed in servants uniforms, walk into the bedroom with various items in their hands.One has a pile of clothes in her hand, the other toiletries and the last one has a tray with probably food in it. I hastily rise to my feet as they walk towards me.“Good day to you all. I'm so

CHAPTER 14

LUCIEN'S POV.I slam my fist into the Mannequin's face, revelling in the sharp burst of pain that jolts up my arm at the impact. My muscles burn and sweat drips down my forehead into my eyes, blurting my vision, but I don't stop. I've done this so many times I don't have to see to land my hits.The smell of sweat and violence stains the air. This is the one place I allow myself to unleash the anger I keep under careful wraps in all other areas of my life.By the time I finish pummeling the mannequin, my body is a mess of aches and sweat. I towel the perspiration off my face and take a swig of water. Today has been a shitty day and I needed this release to reset.“This whole charade is taking a toll on you.” My Beta, Arnaud points out and I heave out a heavy sigh because he's right.“You have no idea.”This whole saga is making me lose my damn mind.I have been longing for years to find my mate, just for me to find her and she's a murder suspect. I feel like my entire life is messed up

CHAPTER 15

LUCIEN'S POV.An inexplicable overwhelming sensation washes through me the moment I step into my living room. I suddenly feel excited to be home. I don't know if it's because Aurora is here and I'll see her soon, or because I'm just happy to be back to my house.It has got to be the latter.“Welcome home, Alpha.” One of my servants, Elisa, greets as she comes to meet me in the living room. She's a middle aged woman and the head servant here in my house. She's been working for me for a long time now. I respect her very much.“Thank you, Elisa.” She gestures for one of the other servants to take my bag which she does quietly. “How's Aurora?” I ask Elisa with a neutral look on my face.Just saying Aurora's name has got my heart beating abnormally. I'm eager to go upstairs and see her.“She's fine.” Elisa replies and I can feel the coldness in her tone. She might be my servant and I don't interact with her often, but five years has been enough time for me to study her and know how to rea

CHAPTER 16

AURORA'S POV.My eyes dart to the clock hanging on the wall ahead of me and an exasperated sigh escapes my chest when I read the time.It's two am in the morning. I've not been able to get an ounce of sleep since Alpha Lucien left. I keep turning on the bed like a rotisserie chicken with a million thoughts swimming in my mind. Mostly painful thoughts of my father and Crew's accusation and my sister's death. I don't even know which to be sad about right now.Should I be sad about her sudden death? or that I'm being accused of killing her?Tss…This is frustrating the hell out of me.I bury my face in the pillow and scream, but my voice is swallowed by the pillow. I lay back on my back, stare at the ceiling above and start mumbling to myself.“Rhea… I know you didn't like me very much when you were alive, but you know I'm innocent. You know I’d never think of hurting you, not to talk of killing you. Please help me get out of this mess.”Then an idea strikes my mind. It's probably a stu

CHAPTER 17

AURORA'S POV.I'm running through the forest barefooted with a ferociously beating heart. The gust of wind blowing through the trees whips my face like a hundred lashes, but I'm too terrified to feel the pain.My right hand is fisting the hem of my skirt, holding it up so it doesn't impair my leg movements as I run past the trees to a place I don't know. The Moon is hanging low in the sky, casting a soft, silver glow over everything in sight, illuminating the racing track that's thick with shrubs and dried leaves that cry every time I step on them. My heart is hammering in my chest and I dare not to look back.I don't even have the time to stop and look back because if I do, she's going to catch up with me.She has been following in these woods for hours now, saying the same thing over and over again. I didn't…“And where do you think you're going?” The image of my sister Rhea, suddenly appears in front of me and I scream my lungs out as I come to a halt.There she is, standing befo

CHAPTER 18

AURORA'S POV.“I feel like the weather outside is cold, can I please go back and put on a sweater?” I ask Ella who’s walking ahead of me as politely as I can. She stops walking and so do I and the dangerous side eyes she gives me makes me gulp dryly.“Don't be such a wussy! The weather is just fine. You don't need a pullover.” She turns ahead and walks on.I turn behind and I'm greeted with angry looks from the other girls walking behind me. I let out a quiet sigh and let Ella lead me all the way down to the living room. We're not outside yet, but I can already feel the hair on my arms standing erect as the cold air blowing into the living room whips my flesh.“Alpha Lucien is waiting for you outside. Go out now and don't keep him waiting.”“Yes.” I say with a curt nod and take long strides towards the door, feeling very much relieved that I've finally had the chance to get away from her intoxicating and intimidating presence.I used to think the atmosphere with Alpha Lucien was tense

CHAPTER 19

AURORA'S POV.When Alpha Lucien settles beside me and the door is shut, I become highly conscious of how good he smells.Something I've been too preoccupied to ponder upon as many times as I should. I breathe him in, telling myself to relax and enjoy his company, but how's that going to be possible when my heart is beating so fast and threatening to hop out of my chest?I shoot him a brief glance and his gaze is plastered at something straight ahead. I'm scared to look in the direction to see what it is, so I turn to the window on my side and feast my eyes on the buildings and cars and people and many other objects fleeting by as the car rolls along.The ride is an excruciatingly quiet one. Even though it's almost unbearable, I'm happy he hasn't said anything to me again because I'm too terrified… too weak to have any sort of conversation with him right now.I have tried to figure out where he's taking me to or what we're going to do there, but nothing comes to mind. I'm well aware of

CHAPTER 20

AURORA'S POV.“Wait for me the car while I give out some instructions to the guys taking the snapshots.” Alpha Lucien tells me once we're back in the living room where I was beyond shocked to see two guys taking photos of the entire living room, including the photos on the wall. I obediently nod my head and go outside to the car and wait like I have been instructed to. All the while doing the waiting, I'm smiling like an idiot with no purpose on this earth.I just found out that I truly meant nothing to my father. I also just found more proof that my sister and ex-boyfriend were in a full blown relationship behind my back. These are discoveries that should crack my heart into several pieces and leave me writhing and wailing in agony on the floor, but here I am, smiling.Smiling because admist all this heartbreak and chaos, I have someone by my side. Someone who's willing to bet on me. Defend and protect me. Comfort me in his own way. And that someone isn't just anyone. He's my fucking
