TANGLED TAILS AND HEARTS /Diamond-Autummn

“Don’t play hard to get, play hard to forget,” Aurora mutters as she stands on the field staring up at the podium. “Unfortunately I failed both, I didn't play hard to get and apparently I am easy to forget too.”Aurora Wells stands at the side with a glass of champagne in her hand, her blank eyes fixed on Maverick Prill and Phoebe Brian who are standing beside each other on the stage and welcoming guests from the other packs.“What is Cliche? It is your everyday life, I am so tired of seeing this, they look so much like the perfect couple, the kind of ones the councils want, I am sure they are glad,” A familiar voice says sarcastically before the person stops beside her. “Do you want to get out of here? We can go to my dad's attic and discover some cool things.” Easton says beside her and Aurora shakes her head at her best friend, the best kind regards of friend she can ever get.Sometimes she wished that she was mated to this nice ass fine man instead.“No I can manage,” She says. “B

“What the hell are you talking about? She was just standing on her own when they approached her, why would you accuse her when everyone here clearly saw that?!” Easton is the one that yells at Maverick which breaks Aurora out of her staring spell.Maverick's eyes landed on her and Aurora wondered how on earth they became so cold over the space of three years. Those frozen blue eyes are the same ones that used to stare at her with warmth, they are the ones that used to assure her.“It doesn't matter that they were the ones that approached her first or looked for trouble. As the Luna of this pack, she should know how to dismiss them or get out of their sight so as not to ruin my gathering.The dignitaries present won't remember them but they will hold on to the fact that the Luna of this pack is an immature brat who don't know how to bite her tongue when she needs to,” Maverick replies, not raising his voice a bit but those words rings too loud in her ears.“I…I…_” She stutters but he c

Easton wraps his hand around Aurora's shoulder when the latter turns stiff, he glares at Maverick in anger. Even though he flaunts Phoebe to every guest, this is the first time he shows affection so brazenly.Aurora and Maverick's eyes meet briefly and she is sure that she sees a strange emotion in them but before she can figure it out, Easton drags her away and she lets him.Easton finally stops when they get to the car, Aurora opens the car and sits on the passenger seat, the other man starts the car and they drive off.“Why the hell did he even accept you as his mate if he doesn't love you? At this rate rejection will be better than all this, at least we can go to Connor or Sally to take care of you, this constant rejection sucks!” He stares angrily, Aurora knows that it is a rhetorical question but she answers anyway.“Because we had sex that day, the mate awakening ceremony, we had sex that night at the pack house,” Aurora says quietly but Easton hears anyway and he slams on brak

“You guys have finally decided to do it, especially you spineless, idiotic, selfish, asshole and jerk of an Alpha! First you turn your back on her for absolutely no reason and now you want to kill her?!Everyone knows that Aurora's wolf is the weakest in the pack, a broken bond will kill her!You decide to follow this headless leader and councils and do whatever shits they tell you to do? You turn to the embrace of her worst enemy even though she meant the best for you, wasn't she nice enough to all of you?She put all of you above herself and endured your one sided nonsensical sneers with absolutely no sense, she bit her tongue when you spat out shit and what?You aren't satisfied? You want to end her!” Easton yells, there's nothing to lose, he is all alone and an orphan, what more can go worse?“You…” the council leader and former Beta stands up in anger to rebuke this rude man who is running his mouth but stops when Aurora starts laughing hysterically, it is supposed to be tears bu

“Why the hell are you even prancing around in a matter like this? You are just the pack doctor!” Dan says.“I don’t know. Maybe because I would be the one who would treat the fallen warriors when we decide to attack the Night Pack.” She says with a raised brow.“Alpha. You have to understand this is not beneficial to us in any way. It would look like we are submitting to these people if we do this, we are the Moonlight Pack, we don’t submit_” Gary, the second leader of the pack council says to Maverick but was cut off.“So this is a matter of pride? We won’t have any when the valley is empty too.” Hilda, the assistant pack doctor chimes, which makes Gary glare at her. “There is nothing more, if you also talk about how they have an evil witch too, I would be so disappointed.”“You…” The man is speechless.“The Night Pack is the brutal rogue Pack that has been turning on other packs, within and outside their territory, they murder brutally and are fierce, they are senile rogues blessed

How many people does it take for an unwarranted headache to sizzle up in one’s head and prick one's nerves?That was the question that the women she was out in the woods with just a moment earlier had been asking each other. They all had different answers, the numbers varied a lot too but they had one united answer despite their differences.There is none for Aurora, no matter how many people it takes, no matter how irritating or intimidating they are, they can never shake the rock that is Aurora and she had agreed with just a smile on her lips.How wrong had they all been?Aurora never thought that she was going to see him again, they were going to cross paths but it is supposed to be later in life and even if they meet, she is not supposed to feel anything.But looking at his face, she is in a trance, a lump is stuck in her throat, a barricade of conflicting and contradictory emotions that she had never felt in the last five years hit her _ the emotions she thought she has under loc

Maverick does a mental nod in his head when Layla says that Aurora has been using a scent masking spell since she entered the room, it now makes sense when he realizes that must be the reason why he can't smell her when she walks into the room and only realizes that he still can't.Not until she whispers some things to herself and her sea-like scents hit him, the problem is that it hits all too well.Aurora smells like the scent of the breeze that hits you when you have been standing at the ocean while staring at a sea shell and he has always liked it.One doesn't get to see too much of the sea when one is a werewolf and has to be in the woods and forest and small town, so her scent was a fresh difference from the others in the town and calmed him.When those scent play with all the nerves of his sense organs and his wolf rumples at the prospect of finding a another mate, it is happy but the happiness dims and it whines when he sees that it is still the soul that hurt them and they br

Layla leads them from their room in the morning, Maverick and Alec have just finished dressing up when the bubbling woman knocks on their door. She says that she can't let them stay cooped up inside their room while she can take them to see the beauty of their pack.“Is it really necessary that you come and get us so early in the morning?” Alec grumbles and Layla bobs her head.“Of course. It is absolutely necessary, you people have already woken up and got dressed already and all you would do is stare at your phones and laptops in your room before we had to talk at the meeting again.” She replies with a wide smile.“And does it have to be only us? There are others too.” Alec says and Layla rolls her eyes at him.“You are the ones I find most likable among them all, except that beautiful brunette and her sidekick of course, but a woman must get her beauty sleep, I heard that she is the Pack's doctor. So she must have a lot on her hands already, the poor woman must study till late at n

Fucking Zach had to delay the documentation of the contract, apparently there is some freaking glitch in the system of the thing so Alpha Maverick and his representative have to stay here for a few more days, tell your freaking Beta to act like one Easton!” Layla snaps and Aurora rolls her eyes at the drama queen while Easton just ignores her and continues playing some video games on his phone.A lot of things have changed over the years but not his love for freaking games, he can sit with the thing from morning till night and not get bored, Hilton doesn't discourage him since he joins him to play too and Aurora often wonder how they get anything done as the Alpha and Delta of the rogue pack.“Don't you like the presence of them here?” Hilton asks, not bothering to glance at her, Aurora buried herself comfortably in the beanbag.“I definitely don't.” Easton says and Layla glares at him.“Of course you don't, but I do, why won't I like that hunk parading around in our pack, he looks to

Maverick stares at all the members of the supposedly ‘cruel’ pack and tries to pin that word with the image and actions of the people all around him, but it is not making any sense.They were all supposed to have scars when they try to initiate themselves into the pack and hurt themselves for the fun of it, but these all gathered around a grown ass man that tumbled in the field and hurt his toe, as if that is not normal to even the humans, not to mention werewolves but these people are rogues_ the worst kind of werewolves, others first instinct when they see them is to attack and a lot of follow that instinct.Then they are not supposed to be offering sweet cookies to members of a rival pack, not supposed to get chummy with them, neither are they supposed to be this happy about two of them finding their mates, they practically drag them to build the tents with them whilst cracking jokes like they have been buddies all their life.The kids here _ rogues, werewolves and hybrids_ aren’t
