Chapter 12 | Abducted
~Aurelia~
His words cut through me like a knife.
"We are a lot more alike than you realize, Dominic. I grew up on the run too, not physically like you, but I am in hiding as well. I think I can understand what you have been through."
He didn't respond. With his eyes glued to the ceiling, I wasn't even sure if he was listening anymore.
"We didn't get to choose what we were born with. That doesn't mean we deprive ourselves of normal life and love. I---"
"I don't have a problem with who I am, whatever I am. This Royal Guard training and the recognition that I got before soldiers in their twenties and thirties did, none of that would have been possible if I was normal. I wouldn't have been able to afford this house or put good food on the table. Dylan and I were squire boys making almost nothing at fourteen." His face scrunched in annoyance before he continued.
"I don't want to open up old wounds. I told you way more than I intended to

~Dominic~It all happened right in front of my eyes, and yet, I refused to believe it. One moment, I was looking through my bedroom window at Aurelia receiving a letter and reading it, and the next moment, she was opening the gate to leave. I bolted out of the house to stop her, but I was stunned to see her picked up by someone really fast... so fast that it was all a blur.I reached the gate the very next second, but she was high up in the sky. She appeared to be leaving willingly, but who was that?"What was that?" My mother came out the next instant."I don't know. She just took off with someone, by air." I shrugged in frustration.I was extremely restless from inside. I could suddenly sense that she was in danger."I got a very disturbing vision just now. Are you sure she wasn't taken away by force?" My mother's visions weren't helping the situation."I am not sure. She looked up at the sky and walked out of that gate exp

~Aurelia~"Hurry up! We will be caught if we don't leave right now!!" Callie harshly whispered while I took my sweet time to look my best."Almost done," I whispered back and checked to see if the coast was clear."The carriage is by the fountain. I will exit through the kitchen door."She dashed out of the room, and I followed her course slowly to not raise suspicion.Callie ran right into the person that we wanted to avoid."You two! Where are you going?" Princess Amara asked her."Er..." Callie looked at me nervously."To see the men that are training. I mean... we are going to serve drinks to them." I mumbled, failing to make our story believable.Amara raised her brow."So there's a new hottie that you two are fawning over?""Kind of" Callie giggled to which Amara rolled her eyes."Do you need anything?" I asked, hoping she didn't. We were already late."No, it's just that
The First Alpha Chapter 2 | Scent of the Mate
~Dominic~It's the same smell again! That faint intoxicating mix of sandalwood and wildflowers — sweet and lovely, so addictive. It reminds me of Spring, the eternal kind, and the feeling of being close to the woods, mud, and nature.Trapped in the palace with duties and responsibilities, I yearned to be set free... to run in the woods and feel the wind in my hair.For the past two years, I caught a whiff of this irresistible scent now and then in the palace. At first, I thought it was coming from that snooty princess, and I ignored it because I didn't want anything to do with her.But then, the subtle sandalwood wafted out of the kitchen once, suppressed by the aroma of freshly baked garlic bread and herbs--- I was pulled out of my thoughts when I got a sharp blow to my temple.I returned my attention to the man who hit me, a pentathlon champion. All it took me was a few seconds to knock him out of his senses. I heard the figh
The First Alpha Chapter 3 | Urban Myths
~Aurelia~Dark struck upon us as we headed home. I was a shaky mess wanting to say too many things all at once."He saw me, Callie!! He touched me too!" My heart was still pounding against my chest long after we left the fighting pit."And what did you do? Ran like a scared chicken. How disappointing!""He was staring at me with those intense blue eyes. What would you do if Dylan got hold of you and studied you for a good minute or so?""I would jump into his arms and kiss him deeply.""Yeah, right! You would have fainted on the spot.""Whatever! How did he... uh, why did he approach you? Do you think he saw us stalking him and Dylan?""You make it sound so terrible! We weren't stalking, we were observing secretly.""Same difference, ladies," Marlo chuckled, "We've arrived.""Oh, shit!""What now Aurie?""What's the Prince doing on this side of the palace? He's right behind that pillar," I p
The First Alpha Chapter 4 | Close Encounter
~ Aurelia~Time stopped for the two of us. His fingertips dug into my arms as he tugged me towards his firm chest. I was afraid to blink, for I still wasn't sure if it was all a dream. He might disappear from my sight if I took my eyes off him even for a second.His hand reached out to touch my face and stroke my cheeks, setting them on fire. I leaned into his touch, wanting to feel his rough hands all over my face as much as I could. Unfortunately, he was jolted back to reality when we heard distant footsteps.He stood up brushing off the mud and leaves before giving me a hand, and that's when I realized that all the paint that he had knocked over from the palette onto my hands was now either on his face or his clothes.I swallowed hard before catching my breath again. I never saw him from this close before."What's your name?"I glared at him for a whole moment before taking in his words. My voice barely made its way out and I man
The First Alpha Chapter 5 | Calliope
~Aurelia~"How did I miss this?" I said, examining Callie's face, turning it from side to side. A fresh bruise had formed right on her cheekbone."It's just that one. It's okay." She tried to make me feel less guilty.Princess Amara had terrible temper issues. Callie got smacked in the face because the spoiled princess couldn't find me the minute she opened her eyes. I was protected from her abuse because Argus had my back. But poor Callie didn't have that privilege.I begged Argus many times about protecting her too but he didn't care. 'You should be happy that I don't touch her, only because she's your friend,' was his jerkwad kind of response. Callie hated them all with a passion, and I didn't blame her.We both had no one to call as parents until Nana's daughter, the head housemaid, adopted us. But I have been living in the palace for as long as I could remember. These were my people, and I was attached to them.Callie's case wa
The First Alpha Chapter 6 | Dragon Shifter
~Aurelia~It was a cold moonless night with a chilling breeze. Someone had set the night on fire. Flames engulfed everything, burning dense forests and picturesque valleys below.A tall man with muscles ripped across every part of his body stood on the edge of a cliff. His demonic laughter reverberated through the mountains, and the blazing fire couldn't take away the spine chilling effect that it caused.A tiny frightened girl, probably around four, was squirming in his grip. His laughter came to an abrupt end when one of his men approached him and said in a shaky voice, "The boy has escaped. We still don't know who the father is."The cold demon of a man let out a thunderous roar before kicking the messenger off the cliff. He then shifted his gaze to a woman who was bruised and shackled. Her long dark mane flowed around her perfect pale face. Her stormy grey eyes were filled with rage and tears.""Time to fret, dearie." His blazing hazel
