Chapter: Chapter 47: knowing himAuriana's POVMy question seemed to have shifted his mood as a small frown formed on his handsome face. Probably this was a sensitive topic and if he didn't seem comfortable talking about it, then that was fine. I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.“It's okay if you don't want to talk about it,” I said carefully, showing that with me, he could take his time.“I don't have a family, Auriana,” he said calmly, staring at the ceiling.“So Xavier isn't your brother,” I asked again. If that was the case then why did he lie. Though the tension between them didn't seem like they were related. If anything, they looked like enemies who deeply hated each other.“He is,” Lennox said flatly and my brows drew together in confusion. “Don't get me wrong Auriana, Xavier is indeed my brother — half brother to be precise.” The word brother came out forced, like he loathed the fact that they were related.“He is the first son of the alpha.”“Alpha?” I asked again. I had never really understood what it m

Chapter: Chapter 46: First kiss Auriana's POVThe person who knocked didn't wait for me to open as the door flung open. Lennox stood there breathless, showing he had run to be here. The next second, he launched toward me, yanking Vidia away. Taken aback by the sudden violence, she led out a yelp.“Ouch…. What do you think you're doing?” She snapped.“I should be the one asking you that.. What were you about to do? Did Xavier send you,” Lennox snapped back, his eyes burning with furry, which was directed to Vidia of course.“W– what. No… Don't gaslight me, I should be the one mad here. How could you tell this mere human about us,” she hissed with belittlement and the anger in Lennox's gaze intensified.“Call her that again and I swear I'll reap your tongue off.”“Why,” she demanded stubbornly. “Because she's your mate? Do you even realise how crazy that sounds, Lennox. What the hell came over you.. huh. Have you finally forgiven these humans for what they did to your mother?”“Stop. Now,” Lennox's voice trembled with

Chapter: Chapter 45: I am his mateAuriana's POVI turned around to see who that voice belonged to. His hair was a wild, intense red, reminiscent of a warning light when illuminated. He smiled but there was nothing warm in it, rather, malice drew from the curve of his smirk. His bright green eyes shone with malice, surveying his surroundings not out of curiosity, but with the calculated focus of a predator hunting its target.“Oh, my bad. Did I intrude,” his voice dripped with sinister sweetness. He exuded something dangerous that made my skin raise instinctively. Sensing my reaction, Lennox stood before me, blocking his path.“Oh, come on now Nox. Stop being so hostile won't you present me to your toy,” he said, his lips curving into a daunting smile. Lennox's jaw tightened; the muscles along his neck flexed as if he’d liked to snap the world in two.“Fine, I'll just present myself then. Hi,” he waved, bending over to the side so I could see his face. “I'm Xavier Quin, Lennox's elder brother.” he introduced.Brother,

Chapter: Chapter 44: The boy I likeAuriana's POVEverything seemed normal the next day. Our classes carried on like nothing abnormal happened last night. I sat there at the cafeteria, my food untouched, the buzzing noise of the plates, the students laughing and chatting, trays clattering on tables, yet I was engrossed in my own world, still thinking about all that happened yesterday when a familiar caught my attention.“Sitting alone today?” Lennox asked, casually taking a seat from across me. Just his presence was enough to make my heart flutter. Ever since he confessed to me, I have been having these emotions anytime I see him.“Yes,” I said calmly.“Strange. The third wheel isn't hovering around you, did you have a fight?” he asked, tilting his head with a smirk. Third wheel, was that the nickname he had picked for Liam? What a crazy way of calling someone.“Of course not. He just hasn't shown up yet,” I replied, though my voice wasn't confident. He tilted his head slightly, clearly doubting my response. “Are you s

Chapter: Chapter 43: Teasing dangerAuriana's POV“What do you mean the hunters have taken her, why would they do that?” I demanded, my lips pressed in a thin line. He tried to look away but I didn't let him. At this point, I needed some explanation because nothing made sense.“We need to leave Auriana,” he said, brushing me off and before he could move, I stepped before him, blocking his path. “I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on here, why did the hunter take Ella?” I demanded firmer this time. “All this while I've been worried sick, trying to find Ella and you were keeping her all along?” The last time I had spoken with Ella, she sounded so defeated. I wasn't mad at Lennox, I just wanted to know why. “She has been acting strange. Do you know why?” I shot at him this time. “What have you done to her?” I grew more impatient at his silence.“She got turned into a wolf,” Lennox voice cut through my questions like a sharp blade.“What….,” my eyes widened, almost bulging. “Ella has been turned into a wolf,” I

Chapter: Chapter 42: Where is EllaAuriana's POVMy throat tightened. For a moment I couldn't make the words come out — not because there was no other name, but because the truth had weight“Maybe,” I said it more to myself than to Liam. Because I wasn't sure about my feelings for Lennox.“Is it Lennox,” he asked gently, hitting right in point.“How did you—”“It's obvious by the way you look at him, Auriana,” he said, his shoulders dropping, clearly showing he was giving up.“Honestly, I don't know what I feel for him yet,” I said, wrapping my arms around myself. It had become eerily cold all of a sudden.“Do you really think he is the right person? I mean you don't really know him and I can't shake off this bad feeling about him,” he reasoned, taking off his coat and gently placing it on me. “I just don't think he is right for you.”“I think I should be the one to decide that Liam,” I said gently. “For now I just… I need some rest,” I added, my voice heavy with tiredness. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak. He si
