AURORAI walked quietly through the dense bush, every step soft and deliberate, the only sound around me was the chirping of birds and the crunch of dried leaves.The air was thick, humid, almost still. My heart pounded as I approached the exact spot Lyon described from the parchment.I stopped, no one was here. My eyes scanned the treeline, then the ground, nothing.I had gotten it wrong? Had they changed their mind? Or worse… was Oprah already dead?A sudden rustling in the bushes snapped my attention to the left. My breath hitched.Five masked men emerged, each clad in dark leather, their faces obscured by cloth. In between them was Oprah.“Oprah,” I breathed, my voice cracking.She was barely standing, her wrists tightly bound with coarse rope, her head hanging low, face bruised, her lip split.She looked fragile, like she could collapse with the wind. My eyes welled with tears at the sight.“Let her go! Now! I’m here! It’s me you wanted!” I shouted, my voice filled with desperat

AURORA“No way in hell am I letting you meet with rogues!” Damon barked, his voice thunderous as he stormed down the corridor toward his study.I trailed behind him, refusing to back down. “Damon, it’s me they want or they’ll kill Oprah! I have to do something!”He spun around, his eyes blazing. “Do you really think you’re who they’re after? You’re just a pawn, Aurora! I’m the one they want. You’re the bait they’re using to draw me out.” he snapped.My breath hitched at his words; but he stood firm.“Irrespective of their reason… I can’t just sit back while Oprah dies! I won’t!”Tears spilled from my eyes. “She’s the mother I never had, Damon. I can’t just watch her be slaughtered because of me!” my voice cracking with raw desperation.In two long strides, Damon was standing in front of me. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me tightly into his chest, one hand cradling the back of my head.“I know how much Oprah means to you. I promise you, Aurora… I will save her.” Damon said, h

AURORA FOUR MONTHS LATER“Aurora,” Damon moaned, my name falling from his lips like a sacred prayer as he came undone, his body trembling above mine.Our breaths mingled in the quiet aftermath, the room warm with the scent of our love-making and candlelight.He slowly pulled out of me and collapsed beside me, his chest still heaving. That was the third time today he had taken me to and fro from heaven.I shifted closer, my bare skin brushing his as I pressed a gentle kiss to his torso; right over his racing heart.“I can’t get enough of you.” Damon whispered, his voice low.I nestled against him, my fingers lazily tracing patterns across his chest. Things had been good between Damon and I.He had kept his promise; I was no longer caged. No longer just his mate or queen, but his equal in every room, every council, and every battle plan.I had learned so much by his side, and I had also earned the respect of Moonshadow; both as Luna and as a woman who stood tall, unbr

AURORAI watched as all eyes turned toward Gideon. He rose slowly, his expression carefully composed as he stepped forward to face Damon.“My king, don’t listen to her. I don’t know what she’s talking about.” Gideon said, his voice steady but his eyes betraying unease.I narrowed my gaze. I could feel the lie in his words. There was more to this; far more than met the eye.“Gideon, how dare you! I’m carrying your pup, and you know it!” Joyce suddenly shouted, her voice sharp and furious.“Joyce, because the king rejected you, now you want to put your bastard child on me? Pathetic, Guards take her away. Carry out the king’s order.” Gideon scoffed, turning toward the guards.The guards moved to obey, but Damon’s voice cut through the air like steel. “Stop.”They froze at once. The tension in the room is rising.“My king, my beloved nephew. Don’t listen to this… this hoe! She sleeps with different men. She’s capable of lying! Just look at how she lied on you!” Damon said, his tone despe

AURORAI blinked as Damon reached for my hand, his warmth grounding me amidst the weight of the throne room’s silence. He leaned in, his voice soft; meant for my ears only.“I will do anything for you, Rora. you wanted a life free of misery, free of pain… a life of freedom with me. I will give it to you, I swear by the goddess.” he said, his eyes never leaving mine.My breath caught in my throat. I turned my head to him slowly, and I looked into his face, it was not cold, not the ruthless Alpha king everyone feared; but the man who saw me not just as his queen but as his reason to fight. Tears welled in my eyes, unbidden.“For all the suffering you endured, just because you dared to love me… even then, you endured it and still chose to show up for me with a smile on your face.” he said, his jaw tightening.His thumb brushed gently over the back of my hand. “I will give you happiness in return. Whatever it takes.”But then his tone shifted, a small smirk curling his lips. “But first…

AURORAI stirred beneath the silk sheets, a satisfied sigh escaping my lips as memories from the night before slowly surfaced.Heat flushed my cheeks as I recalled Damon’s touch, the way he whispered my name like it was sacred, how every kiss, every movement between us had melted the tension between us.No punishments, no threats, just need and love. I smiled lazily and stretched, my limbs sore in the most delicious way. I felt safe, wanted, and whole.But beside me; where Damon had slept was empty. I turned my head, then the bathroom door creaked open.Damon stepped out, a towel slung low around his waist, droplets of water gliding down the ridges of his torso.His damp hair clung to his forehead in dark waves, and the soft golden light from the windows lit his muscles like he was carved from marble. A living, breathing Greek god.“You’re drooling, sunshine,” his voice came, deep and teasing.I blinked, stared, then immediately looked away. My face turned red. “I was not,” I muttere

SARAEvery moment stretched like an eternity. The palace felt like a tomb, silent and still, as if holding its breath along with me.Days passed, and still, the Alpha remained in his deep sleep, unmoving. The pack sensed the unease, whispers of the Alpha’s condition spreading like wildfire, filling the air with a sense of impending doom.My heart ached with every passing hour, the emptiness of his absence growing like a chasm in my soul.I spent my days at his side, watching over him, praying silently for a miracle. While Aldo handles the affairs of the pack.Each night, I listened to Fisher’s chants, his voice a distant echo of hope. But the more time passed, the more my hope began to waver, replaced by a cold, creeping fear that I would never see my mate’s eyes again.The palace staff moved quietly, their faces drawn and pale, as if reflecting my anguish. Aldo, too, hovered nearby, his expression dark with worry, ready to support me, even as he grappled with his own grief over Eden’s

ALPHA KING EDENThe air in the room was thick with tension, the flickering light from the candles casting shadows across the walls. I stood in the center, my gaze steady as I watched Fisher prepare the ritual.I had sent Aldo a message to Fisher for this ritual, as it was the only way to save my daughter and the pack from the prophecy. Aldo protested but I told him I had made up my mind.The chronos amulet that had been in Fisher’s possession after using it to remove Sara’s curse was my only option.The chronos amulet, an ancient relic known for its power to alter fate, lay on a small pedestal before us. Its gemstone pulsed faintly, as if alive, resonating with the power it held.Fisher’s eyes clouded by age yet sharp with wisdom, turned to me. “Are you certain about this, Alpha? The consequences could be grave.“The prophecy is not something to be taken lightly. This could cost you your life.” he asked, his voice gravelly, echoing with years of knowledge and forewarning.My jaw tig

SARAI stood at the pack ground watching the Alpha address the pack, I felt a renewed sense of hope. He stood tall and confident, his voice commanding the attention of every wolf gathered around him.I recalled how I sat at the chamber, lost in thought after storming out of the throne room. Eden had come to me later in the night, his expression a mixture of determination and apology.He hadn’t let my anger push him away. Instead, he’d held me close, his hands gentle as he brushed away my tears.We talked for hours, sharing fears and hopes, finding common ground in our love for our children.Eden had promised me, he would find a way to ensure our daughter’s safety without resorting to drastic measures.He had asked me to trust him, and I trust him. His resolve had reassured me, and the walls between us crumbled.We kissed then, with a tenderness that spoke of forgiveness and understanding. The intensity of our emotions had quickly ignited into passion, a need to reconnect and affirm

ALPHA KING EDENSitting in the throne room as Fisher stood with his eyes on me. He had arrived in the early hours of the morning.His elderly figure draped in a layer of ceremonial robes, stood in the throne room. His eyes, clouded with the wisdom of countless years.He spoke softly, yet his words carried the weight of ages, echoing through the room like a quiet, unbreakable command.“Alpha, your daughter’s powers are unlike any we have seen in generations. They align with the prophecy of the old, a prophecy that foretells the rise of a child born to end the era of wolves.“Her abilities are growing, and without proper guidance, they will become uncontrollable. He said, his voice as steady as stone.I tensed, my jaw clenching as I listened. I had feared these words, yet hearing them aloud made my blood run cold. I exchanged a glance with Sara, whose eyes were filled with worry and desperation.Fisher continued. “There is a way to protect the pack, but it is a hard path to walk. Your d

SARAEden and I lay nestled together in our bedroom, the warmth of our embrace a comfort after a long day for both of us on our various pack duties.The soft glow of the candlelight cast a soothing light across the room, and the rhythmic sound of our breathing filled the space with a sense of peace.Eden ran his fingers through my hair, pressing soft kisses against my forehead. Our hearts beat in sync, a silent reminder of our bond.Just then, a sharp knock sounded at the door. Eden sighed, reluctance weighing on him as he pulled away from my embrace.He walked over to the door, his posture stiffening as he opened the door and found Aldo standing there, his face pale and etched with worry.“Alpha, It’s… it’s about Elena. Her powers…” Aldo said, his voice strained.Before he could finish, Eden’s eyes widened in alarm. Instinctively, I sat up in bed, sensing the change in the atmosphere.Without another word, Eden and I bolted from the room, our hearts racing with fear and urgency. We b

ALPHA KING EDENI held Sara as she cried, my own emotions were kept in check for her sake, my resolve solidifying with every tear she shed.Minutes turned into what felt like hours, her sobs slowly quieting down, replaced by the soft sound of her breathing.I continued to hold her, whispering soothing words, my hands never ceasing their gentle, comforting motions.Eventually, the exhaustion of the day took over, and Sara’s eyelids grew heavy. Her breathing became slow and even, and she drifted into sleep, cradled in my embrace.I remained still, staring out into the darkness beyond the windows of my study, my thoughts racing even as my heart beat steadily.I looked down at Sara, her face peaceful in sleep despite the tear stains on her cheeks. I brushed a strand of hair away from her face, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.At that moment, I made a silent vow. Whatever it took, I would protect my family. I would not let a prophecy dictate the fate of my children. I would seek an
