Aurora was escorted back to her mother’s room, and her bold and fearless demeanor seemed to disappear when she saw her mother standing in her room, waiting for her return.“Mother!” she called out, running into her mother’s longing arms,“My dear child, I’m so sorry for this.” Moira hugged her daughter not too tightly. She missed her daughter, but she wasn’t ready to squeeze the life out of her with her superhuman strength either. “I was so scared, Aurora.”She pulled back a little to stare into her daughter’s eyes, “And I know that you must have been scared to death in there.”“Not really, but when I climbed the steel bars at one point, my heart fluttered for a bit, but I didn’t show it. I didn’t want them to perceive me as weak,” Aurora said, “so I didn’t stop shouting. I think they got fed up with my screaming and decided to let me out.”“Oh my child,” Moira hugged her again,“I’m sorry, Mum, I should have stayed in the room like you asked.” Aurora muffled, “I was just bored.”“No,

“Aurora?”Moira called out when she came back to her room and couldn’t find or smell her daughter. Her belongings were still in the room, even her phone; calling her was impossible.Moira panicked a bit; her daughter, amid werewolves, was unsettling for her, but she had allowed Aurora to come over because she thought she could protect her…at least. But now, she couldn’t find her daughter, and fear began to creep in.“Where could she be?” No one in the house except her, the compound guard, and the assigned maid who led Aurora knew that her daughter was coming over to the mansion.Moira couldn’t go around to start asking about her daughter’s whereabouts, even if she wanted to; Aurora’s visit isn’t something the entire family expected, and it could be dire for Moira.Just as Moira stood still, trying to figure out what to do next, she perceived a familiar and powerful smell; the Alpha had returned from his meeting with the council. This was trouble.“Call me Luke and Moira, and get me a

Theodore, with a fast walking pace, went to his bedroom and saw Ingrid staring outside from his window. He paused for a moment, admiring her outline from behind, with a smile on his face.His wolf growled. Thinking that his wolf was angry at him for standing still instead of moving on to the next level, Theodore silently calmed his wolf down, “Calm down, what’s the rush? It’s here now, and we are so doing it today.”“Are you just going to stand there?” Ingrid said, still looking out of the window. She had smelled him the moment he entered the room, but it was beginning to feel like forever to her, as Theodore was taking forever to come to her.“Do you not know not to keep a lady waiting?” A slight smile on her face.A few seconds later, she felt Theodore hold her from behind and pressed a kiss on her neck. She smiled and held his hand, resting her head on his chest.“Pardon this ignorant man,” he kissed her neck again, “who seems to still freeze at the sight of a dazzling beauty like

Aurora opened her eyes at first, and it was blurry. She closed and opened them again, and only then did her sight begin to come back to normal. She had been knocked unconscious by an unknown person.She wasn’t in pain, though; whoever had knocked her out did not want to inflict pain, maybe.Realizing her surroundings, she quickly rushed to her feet.She wasn’t in a room like the ones she had seen moments ago; it was a prison-like room. There were steel bars, a big single window at the back, and a large mirror-glass wall that looked like it sealed the main entrance. One would have to open the big mirror-glass to get to the bars and then into the room.She looked around and didn’t find anything like a bed or chair. This didn’t raise an alarm to her because, from what she knew, kidnappers put their victims in a room with either a chair or a bed, or both. If there were none in the room, it could only be that she wasn’t kidnapped.What then could she be doing here? How did she end up here?

Somewhere around the Pacific Northwest.It was night, and she was supposed to be on the road to her mother’s in Northern California, but unfortunately, here she was, fighting for her life.Heavily pregnant and almost due for delivery, she brushed through the thick bush searching for any glimmer of hope or help from someone, but it was all bushes.She had been badly injured by what she had seen to be a dog… or wolf.It attacked her so quickly that before she knew it, she was bleeding profusely from her inner thigh.Her chances of making it seemed impossible, but then, she saw people who moved with torchlights towards her, like they knew she would be coming.“H… help me, please.” She weakly waved one of her hands in the air, shouting as she supported her injured thigh with the other hand.“Dogs, wolves,” the men hurried their footsteps. “Help.” She collapsed before she could say another word.The High Keep mansionIn the living room, Beta Luke informs Brynn, Alpha of The Foreclaws Pack,
