"ALPHA'S MATE"
Aurora's POV
"Never you ever show your face before my eyes again!!"
Nelson's voice boomed through my ears that it felt like he was still standing before me and glaring at me.
As I sat there on the unforgiving floor, my heart throbbed with unbearable pain and sorrow.
It felt as if my heartache was uncontrollable, causing it to bleed metaphorically.
All my hopes and dreams had shattered right before my eyes, leaving me devastated.
It was a surreal moment, and I felt a sharp pang in my racing heart, prompting me to clutch my chest in anguish.
Who could have imagined that my six-year relationship with my first crush and boyfriend would come to such a tragic end?
I closed my eyes for a moment, attempting to find some semblance of calm amidst the chaos.
It was just so difficult to accept the harsh reality that surrounded me.
"What didn't I do for you, Nelson? Where did I go wrong? Was I that bad and stupid?" I shrieked, my eyes betraying the intense regret I was feeling.
I wished to walk up to his door and ask him why he had led me to the mud this way but on a second thought, I'd rather pass than be embarrassed.
"Don't think about him, don't..." I whimpered softly, tears streaming down my face from my closed eyes.
With determination, I fluttered my swollen, red eyes open and slowly rose to my feet.
I refused to be the girl who begged to be her ex's second choice.
Hannah, my supposed lifelong best friend and half-sister, had betrayed me in the worst way possible.
As I picked up my bag from the ground, I cast one last glance at Nelson's apartment.
My grip on the bag's strap tightened, and all I could feel was an overwhelming mix of pain, regret, and betrayal.
It was evident that they had returned to their passionate affair, completely oblivious to my pain.
"You will face the consequences, Nelson! You will pay for making me feel this way, for humiliating me!"
Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision, but I blinked them away and left his house with a resolute heart.
As I walked down the street, making my way back home, a wave of fear washed over me as I thought about my stepmother.
She wasn't my biological mother, and what made it worse was that my father always supported her decisions, no matter what they were.
The moment she discovered I was pregnant, carrying an illegitimate child in my womb, she would surely either harm me or sell me off like a slave.
I came to an abrupt halt, my eyes fixated on my stomach, and my hand instinctively reached out to cradle it.
I gently rubbed my growing belly as tears streamed down my pale cheeks once again.
The mere thought of losing my child sent a wave of terror coursing through my veins.
"I vow to protect and cherish you, no matter what. You are my child, and I don't care what anyone else says!"
I declared, summoning the strength to stand against the pain.
Determined to protect my child, I resolved to confront anyone who posed a threat.
Since my belly was still flat, it was unlikely that anyone would notice I was pregnant.
Before anyone could become aware of my condition, I would do everything in my power to provide for the baby and myself.
I wiped away the tears from my face, my hands trembling, and my vision blurred. I prepared to cross the road, my eyes still fixated on my abdomen.
However, as I stepped forward, a deafening sound overwhelmed my senses, drowning out all other sounds, and a vehicle hurtled toward me.
To my right, I saw a black SUV rapidly approaching me, its speed seemingly determined to bring about my demise.
Panic surged through me as I desperately tried to flee, but it felt as though fate itself was conspiring against my survival.
"Is this the end? Is this how my journey in this world concludes?"
I pondered in silence, fear gripping my racing heart and my legs trembling uncontrollably.
With a heavy heart, I closed my eyes, a final tear escaping as I hoped to awaken in a serene paradise.
However, the next moment brought a startling twist.
"Are you out of your mind?! Who do you think you are, standing in my way?!"
A deep, angry growl pierced through my ears, causing me to snap my eyes open with a gasp.
"Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed, clutching my chest in fear.
At that moment, I truly believed that my life was about to end.
But when I turned to face the source of the voice, a different kind of apprehension washed over me.
It felt as though my existence would be snuffed out before I had the chance to witness my child's first cry.
Before me stood a striking young man with captivating green hazel eyes and neatly styled black curls.
He possessed all the qualities of a responsible individual, yet his piercing gaze felt as though it could extinguish me.
"Can't you hear or have you suddenly lost the ability to speak, tempting me to end your life?"
He approached me, closing the distance between us, his heated breath forcefully grazing my face.
The scent of his musky cologne filled my nostrils, adding another layer of intensity to the already tense situation.
I was undeniably frightened, his commanding tone and penetrating glare making me wish I could retreat from the encounter.
However, there was an inexplicable allure about him that drew me in, despite the fear.
"Lucious?" a woman's voice called out from the car, capturing his attention.
"This is beyond your capacity, Claire. Allow me to show her the true face of death. I..." He began to say, but she swiftly interrupted him.
"Don't you dare! She deserves to..." Her voice trailed off as she approached me, a sudden change in her demeanor.
Her gaze bore into mine, and I could see a mixture of confusion and surprise in her eyes.
I, too, felt a wave of awkwardness wash over me, unsure of how to walk away from them.
Before I could gather my thoughts and offer an apology, she firmly grasped my wrist, preventing me from pulling away.
"What are you..." I began to question, but my words caught in my throat as she whispered in a barely audible voice.
"ALPHA'S MATE?!"
Marry Mr. Dark!!Aurora's POV.The memory of the scene on the highway kept replaying in my mind, and honestly, I didn't know how to process it anymore. "Alpha's mate?" I swear I had heard that phrase somewhere, but I couldn't remember where exactly.When I arrived home, a deep voice pierced through my ears."Where have you been, Aurora Norah?!!"As expected, my stepmother's voice thundered the moment I stepped into the house.Her voice was filled with anger and intense rage as she called out my name. Her face showed a mix of confusion and shock.I started to fear her, afraid that she might uncover the secret I had been desperately hiding from her—the baby."I... I was..." I stammered, my eyes trembling with fear.I had no idea what excuse I could come up with; my mind was blank, and I couldn't think of anything."Are you keeping something from me?" She rose from the worn-out couch where she had been sitting.She approached me, her eyes narrowing with suspicion, and her face revealing
The Man From My Dreams?Aurora's POV"If you marry Mr. Dark, I promise not to reveal to your dad that you were already pregnant before you left the house!" she proclaimed, her voice filled with evident satisfaction."And it's just a one-year agreement. All you need to do is give him a child!" she added, a hint of disappointment in her tone."What? Marriage? To someone I hardly know?!" I exclaimed angrily, my face reflecting confusion and disapproval.I swiftly rose to my feet, no longer willing to be at her mercy."You know what, Mary? I'd rather face my father's wrath than marry a heartless monster who doesn't care about a woman's emotions!"I spun around, intending to rush to my room, but she halted me in my tracks."I knew I shouldn't have trusted you, Aurora, and that's why your child will never know peace until its dying breath!" she threatened, using my child as a pawn in her twisted game."Leave my child out of this, Mary!" I warned, my voice filled with intense fear."Then don
I REJECT YOU AS MY MATE!Lucious POV."Why aren't you in your room?!" She asked angrily, her voice filled with intense anger that shook me to my core for a brief moment."I won't move an inch as long as she's there, Claire! Get her out of here, right now," I stated firmly, my eyes expressing my disgust."You have to go to her immediately, Alpha Lucious!" She shouted, her voice sending chills down my back.I scoffed at this point, realising that she knew my preferences very well, so why was she forcing me into this situation?"You know how much I hate humans, Claire, and yet you brought her into my room?!" I shouted as soon as I saw Claire burst into my room.I was beyond angry because now I not only had to deal with a human in my room every day, but I was also expected to have her as my partner."I don't want her here, Claire! Take her back where she came from!" I said firmly, turning away from her and walking towards the window.I couldn't believe that Claire had brought a complete s
Aurora's POV.His presence loomed over me, his piercing, green eyes fixated on my trembling form. As he drew nearer, the air thickened with tension, suffocating me. His finger, cold and accusatory, extended towards my jawline, forcefully tilting my face to meet his gaze.At that haunting moment, his words thundered through the air, cutting through my heart like a jagged blade. "I, ALPHA LUCIOUS DARK, REJECT YOU AS MY MATE! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A WEAK HUMAN, AND THAT'S NOT THE KIND OF LUNA I WANT FOR MY PACK!"The weight of his declaration crashed upon me, engulfing my entire being in a torrent of fear. Anger and fury seeped into his voice, making it quiver with an almost scary intensity. Initially, it seemed like a mere statement, an act of dismissal, but then the true impact of his rejection struck me with the force of a lightning bolt.A searing, agonising pain erupted within me, tearing through every fibre of my being. The mere intensity of this feeling stole my breath away, le
Aurora's POV.I knelt on the ground, my mind in a whirlwind, struggling to understand what had just happened. With each word he spoke, my heart raced uncontrollably.His deep voice, as always, echoed in my mind, pulling me towards him and clouding my thoughts."Was I under some kind of spell? I never felt anything for him before now… so what changed?" I whispered to myself, but then she appeared again, responding to my thoughts."You are his Mate, Aurora... You might be just a human, but you're the Alpha's Mate!" she exclaimed, entering my room. Instantly, fear ran through me, causing my body to tremble."I... I'm sorry if..." I stammered, attempting to stand but stumbling back to the ground.She rushed towards me, grabbing hold of me tightly. The closeness made me realise that she had somehow read my thoughts."Are you alright? You've been saying strange things in your head!" She chuckled softly, her grip on my shoulders growing stronger."Can you read minds?" I blurted out, staring
Aurora's POV."Get down on your fours!" his voice boomed, resonating with a commanding authority that pierced through my very being. The mere sound of it compelled me to submit, to surrender my will to his every word.There was an inexplicable power in his voice that left me no choice but to comply with his demands. It bound me, wrapping around my thoughts and emotions like an unbreakable chain. I was trapped, unable to resist his influence.As I knelt down on the frigid, unyielding floor, a mixture of fear and guilt coursed through my veins, gripping me tightly. The intensity of these emotions was overwhelming, causing my body to quiver uncontrollably. The weight of what I had gotten myself into pressed down on me, suffocating me with its consequences.In that fleeting moment, I couldn't help but regret my decision to meet him. I questioned why I hadn't simply obeyed Claire's advice, but deep down, I knew it would have been futile. My child would be left without a father, and my
Luscious' POV."Why is she taking so long?" I muttered quietly, feeling an intense urge and excitement growing with each passing moment as I anxiously waited for Aurora.If she was truly meant to be with me and help me break the curse that had been placed upon me, as Claire had mentioned, then I firmly held onto the belief that she would never abandon me under any circumstances.I had encountered many women in the past, most of them were looking for a sane Alpha partner, while others were too afraid to approach me.But Aurora had been different. She had stayed by my side and willingly agreed to be my Slave Mate, my submissive. I couldn't bear the thought of letting her slip away.Suddenly, I stood up, still eagerly anticipating her arrival, continuously glancing at my watch with each passing second.Feeling restless in my room, I grew impatient waiting for her to arrive. "I warned her!" I thought to myself as I quickly paced towards the door.Initially, I planned to open the door forc
MINE! (Get Her Out, Now!)Lucious' POV."Aarrrggghh!" I cried out, holding my head as the intense pain spread throughout my entire body.I desperately prayed for the pain to stop, but it only got worse, much worse than I expected."Alpha? Lucious, are you okay? Mrs. Claire!" Aurora called out when she approached me.Strangely, instead of feeling better in her presence, the pain intensified. I couldn't handle it, and I didn't understand why."Shit! Make it stop!" I shouted, trying to pull my hair out, but I couldn't manage to do it.My wolf instincts were taking over, and I couldn't control it, no matter how much I tried. Aurora's touch and concerned voice only made me more furious and enraged.I fell to my knees, desperately praying for the pain to subside. But then, something even worse happened.For a moment, I felt completely empty, and the pain lessened slightly, but the second my eyes turned red, I knew what that meant; I had lost control.My wolf had taken over, and the only per
