AuroraWhat? He knew about that too?My head snapped at the speed of light once I processed what he just said. I was just as shocked as everyone except that mine was for a different reason. Ethan nodded at me reassuringly before returning his gaze to the crowd, “Yes, you heard me right. Aurora found out the mysterious powers of Arne's blood and she used it to cure every sick person in the pack. I don't need to explain to you how sacred this information is, this only goes to prove that Arne is the true heir of the pack and without him, the pack would not be able to survive it. The plague was a punishment from the moon goddess because our pack had abandoned our Luna and heir. The solution was bringing them back and good thing we did. Asides that, an heir with such blood shows that he is no ordinary alpha, who knows what else he could do? With him our pack will definitely grow into greater heights.” His voice was neither firm nor soft, but it seemed to resonate through the hearts of ev

EthanThere was excitement in the air and I knew why, I was getting discharged from the hospital today.As I stepped out with Sam by my side, I arrived at the Palace to see the crowd of people gathered, cheerful and happy that their king was back. I wasn't surprised, I had called for the gathering because it was time for me to tell them about Aurora as Luna.I wanted to address it immediately, no time wasted and no hesitation. Aurora would be completely mine and so I was impatient.“Long live the alpha” Everyone chanted happily as I made my way to sit on the throne that faced everyone. My family sat on lower chairs beside me with Sam standing at my other side.I raised my hand and there was immediate silence before I started saying “Greetings everyone. Thank you for your love and well wishes towards me while I was in the hospital. These past one year has been a trying time for everyone of us and I am very glad that we were able to scale through it. After everything, we came out stron

Aurora“Ethan, you are awake, thank the goddess.” I came to his side in a flash, grabbing his hands and rubbing them gently against my cheek. My eyes were already clouded with tears of joy, I felt so relieved to see him. “Aurora, I… you” he tried to speak with his hoarse voice.“Shh… Don’t say anything, let me check your vitals” I said as I began the check up. He fell quiet, his eyes were on me, following my every movement. I pushed aside the fluttering feeling in my heart from his gaze and finished the check up.Thankfully, everything was fine and his injury was healing properly.“I’m sorry, Aurora” Ethan spoke up as soon as I helped him go sit up on the bed.I rolled my eyes at him and replied, “How many times are you going to say sorry? Come on now, I have forgiven you” it was the truth, the past few days had been to reflect on everything and I have forgiven Ethan in my heart, I had let go of the past and the only thing I was concerned about now was the future. What happens now?

AuroraIt wasn't a dream. When I returned to the light, I realized I was in a hospital. I was admitted after I fell unconscious.The first person that came to mind was Ethan and I rushed out of my ward to go see him. When I arrived at the ICU where he was supposed to be in, I met his family, Sam and even Arne at the waiting area.“Mum, you are awake” Arne was the first to see and he immediately came to hug me. I hugged him back passionately, “I’m sorry, Arne, for lying to you. I hope you can forgive mummy” I said, holding back unshed tears.“It’s okay, mum. I forgive you. But I don't want to leave…” he said“We won't leave okay? Don't worry” I assured him before hugging him again.The others were looking at me, probably wondering what we were talking about but I ignored their questioning gaze and walked forward holding Arne's hand. They would soon know the truth and I wanted to wait to do it after Ethan recovered.“What’s going on in there? How long has the surgery been going on?” I

AURORA“Ethan!” I screamed out in shock as Isadora reached him and plunged the knife into his chest. Blood spilled out almost immediately and I quickly ran to his aid, holding him so he doesn't slump to the ground heavily.“Ethan, stay with me okay? You will be fine just stay with me” Tears voluntarily poured out of my eyes as I spoke. Ethan couldn't speak, he just continued to gasp for air.“Arne, get help quickly, run!” I instructed Arne whose face was already wet with tears from the onset. The child ran out of the room immediately while Isadora burst out laughing like a maniac.“It’s no use little sister, you can't save him, he will die for sure” she said amidst her laughter.I was livid, I raised my tear stained face to look at her before saying, “I am not your sister. I am no sister to a monster and killer” With Ethan jerking on my lap, I immediately returned my attention to him. I tried to apply pressure on the wound but to properly do that I had to take out the knife, it was g

AuroraEthan knocked Isadora off me with one hit and she fell to the ground, slumping unconscious from impact. I glanced at my unconscious sister and then back at the raging Ethan, my heart was beating wildly in my chest. He turned to look at me and his gaze softened almost immediately. I couldn't handle the way he was looking at me so I looked away and got up from the ground.“Aurora, are you okay? I hope Isadora did not hurt you” Ethan said as he came closer and searched my body worriedly.“No, I'm fine” I answered plainly before walking away to where Arne was, I engulfed him in a hug and kissed his forehead. These past days has been rough on him, he didn't deserve it one bit. If I continue to stay here, I fear that he would never be safe and I couldn't afford that. So I did what I felt was right… leave.I placed another long kiss on Arne's forehead before walking to the wardrobe, brought out our empty boxes then I began packing our clothes in it as fast as I could. “What are you

Eve Everyone went silent for a second as they processed the news in shock. The employees on my side were visibly surprised as well. Just a few days ago, they thought all hope was lost after our months of planning and strategizing. They must be wondering how I pulled it off in a few days, if only they knew.Once they regained themselves, they began clapping and cheering happily for the new dispensation.My heart warmed seeing them so happy. Sinclair wasn't a terrible boss, but he was strict and neglectful of the employees' feelings; he only cared about revenues. Some workers have been loyal to the company for decades with no promotion in sight, and some are struggling outside work with no one to help. I observed all this in the time I began working at the office, too. While I randomly helped where I could, I had given the impression that I was kinder and considerate than him. I was not deaf to the remarks and gossip around the office, I have heard some wishes that I should be the C

Eve“Eve, I am very sorry, I have no excuses for my actions. I got carried away by greed and forgot what was truly important, and that was you. You are what's important. And because I'm a fool I failed to realize that until recently. I fell in love with you, Eve, and I mean it, I love you. I wanted to make everything right, but I was also scared of your reaction. I didn't go about it correctly, and I'm sorry about that, too. If I had, then we wouldn't be in this mess. We can still talk this out, Eve, we can still fix this. I know you didn't kill my mother, Xander must have manipulated you. Untie me let's talk… please.” Sinclair pleaded with tearful eyes as he looked back at me. I watched him for a few more seconds, and I watched tears roll down his heartbroken, handsome face. And with a cold, hard look, I picked up the papers I had arranged beforehand and brought them closer to him. “It’s too late, Sinclair, I don't love you anymore. You have two options, you either sign every prop

EveI walked into the room with my head held high and the hardest expression on my face. I could see from my side view that Sinclair's eyes were on me but I spared him no glance as I came to sit beside Xander. “Evie…” I heard him call out in a low strained voice.My gaze turned sharply and I looked at him dead in the eyes before saying, “My name is Eve…” I could barely finish when he interrupted with a desperate look on his face. “Stay away from him, Evie. He's dangerous, please. You have no idea what he is capable of”Xander chuckled and replied, “Are you referring to yourself? Because you are the one tied up right now. Seems like you are yet to process what is actually going on so let me help you. Eve is with me and she is involved in the situation you are in right now, she saw through your bullshit all this time” “What? You liar, what have you been telling her” he roared and then turned to me and his gaze visibly softened, “Eve baby, don't believe a word he says, he's a liar and

Sinclair I checked the time out of habit, it was 6:34 pm. I was expecting Eve by 7:15 pm, so there was still plenty of time. I was at the lake house in Minnesota, a private property I acquired for a little getaway once in a while. I had planned one for the weekend with Eve, she deserved it after holding down the company for weeks when I was absent. It was also the last time we might spend together because I planned on telling her the truth too. At the thought of how hurt she would feel, my heart constricted and I sipped my glass of wine to calm myself. It was now or never, I couldn't postpone it any further than this.X's warning a few days ago came to mind, he was the one who released that information to the press. It was a warning to keep my end of the deal and I got so worried that he might have gone for Eve that I called the office to check. It was then that one of the board directors told me about the investor problem and the agreement. Luckily, I was able to step in in time b

EveWith the way he said it, I knew he was putting Khalif in a corner; if he disagreed, that would make him look suspicious. If Sinclair became the investor then all our hard work would be reduced to nothing. If the deal works, he'll benefit and if it doesn't, he gets everything back. I was shaking from rage at how he just came in and ruined everything but I had to remain calm on the surface. “Yeah sure, whatever works. I only offered to help after seeing y'all in distress” Khalif waved it off and relaxed into his seat nonchalantly.It was the ideal reply but I was fuming inside that we had to be complacent. We looked helpless even after months of planning and creating strategies, I could feel everyone's disappointment as well. So much was put into this, Sinclair was going to pay dearly.The meeting pretty much closed after that, and people approached Sinclair with a welcome back to work handshake. It took a few more minutes for the room to be empty so I could talk with Sinclair priv

EveBrando slammed his hand on the table and yelled, “I do not want to invest anymore, what part of that do you not understand?” He looked irritated and upset.“Mr Brando, please calm down, let us explain to you. You cannot believe the news so easily without verifying” I answered in a calm tone. We were in the board meeting with board directors, Brando and Khalif. Brando's acting was so perfect I was impressed, we just needed to act a little bit more so we didn't raise any suspicions… Sinclair could have eyes watching.“Pardon me, Mrs Eve, but in every nonsense there is sense somewhere. News outlets wouldn't just pop out such allegations with no tip or a lead. Your father was a great friend to my father and they partnered together for decades. It was why I continued partnering with the stone capital even after Mr Sinclair took over because I trusted your father's discernment. To hear that Mr Sinclair treated you badly for years and you endured it was already getting me irritated. But
