Alora’s POV“Wake up! Wake up!! Wake up!!!” Nyx’s voice echoed in my mind as I turned and stretched on the king-sized bed, my hands instinctively searching for Morgan, as his scent wrapped around me like a cloak. “Where was he”?I winced at the sun filtering in through the curtain as my eyes adjusted to the room. When my eyes finally opened, I gasped at who I saw.Violet was standing beside my bed, arms crossed, her cold brown eyes staring down on me like a ghost.I blinked, startled. "Violet?"“You’re finally awake… Luna” she said the last word with an air quote.My heart thudded in my chest like a drum. It was the first time I've seen her up close since I arrived three days ago.“What are you doing in my room’? I asked.“Oh, it's your room now”? She asked, cackling like a maniac.My hands instinctively grabbed my pendant for comfort.“Morgan’s room” I corrected, feeling uneasy. “Besides, where is he?" I asked, looking around and hoping he would come save me from the menace staring
Alora’s POVMorgan had agreed to the words of the Sage while we were there, but the moment, but the moment we got back to his room, he was on me as if he had been holding everything in.He grabbed my waist from behind and buried his lips on my neck. Our bodies were still wet from the tub and my body responded to him in an instant.I didn't know the consequences of disobeying the sage, so I tried to turn around and persuade him to let me go even when my body was on fire from his possessive grip."I think I should stay with Selene. Just for tonight.""Stay. Please." He spoke into my neck, his voice vibrating in my skin and sending delicious shivers down my spine. Oh dear God! I squeezed my eyes shut."We don't have to do anything," he added. But I want you near. I need you near tonight."I needed him too, and I was not sure if I could stay away from him, so I nodded in agreement.The moment I agreed, Morgan turned me around, his gaze trailing over my body, and resting on my breast. My
Two Days to Birthday CelebrationAlora’s POVThe next morning, after breakfast, Selene called me over to her room. “I know you don't know this, but you’re supposed to get your mate a gift for the party” I furrowed my brows. “Technically, I am not his mate until we make things official. We are still getting to know each other.”Selene chuckled, shaking her head. “You don't decide to be mates with a fated mate. You were chosen for him by the moon goddess. It's just a matter of time, baby.”“Until what”?Her smile softened as she stepped closer and brushed her thumb gently across my cheek. “Until you surrender to what’s already yours.”I gave her a shaky smile but deep down I was unraveling. “So what gift would be appropriate for “my mate”?” I asked, rolling my eyes, and trying to hide my emotions behind sarcasm..“You're not taking this seriously, are you”? Selene asked, giving me a mock-stern look.She opened her bedside drawer and pulled out a small red jewelry box before reaching
Three Days to Birthday CelebrationAlora’s POVWe arrived at the Blood fang pack three days early as I had promised Morgan.He had sent a car to pick us up and some omegas to help with the packing, even though there was nothing much to do.As we got into the mansion, we noticed that the entire place was already humming with preparations. The scent of fresh pine and baked bread filled the air as the pack members were out and about decorating the surroundings with purple banners and black ribbons.The place was so royal, peaceful, and at the same time chaotic.As soon as we stepped down, Leo refused to let go of my hand. He looked a bit scared with so many people going about their tasks. I gave him a reassuring squeeze and patted his head, which made him relax a bit.Then I sighted Morgan, who was already waiting at the porch with Harry, Jones, and a few of the servants lined up, awaiting our arrival as if we were royalty. He wore a black ribbed knit short-sleeved polo shirt, black tro
Alora’s POVI got to school after dropping off Leo to see Lucien standing by the admin block with Phoebe… Phoebe, my best friend. She was laughing at something he said, her smile wide, and without a care in the world. She was so taken with him that she was grinning from ear to ear while he leaned casually on the pillar, dressed in dark jeans and a leather jacket, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips.Lucien had crossed a line.Not only was he trying to tear apart whatever fragile bond I had left with Morgan, he was dragging Phoebe into this mess too. I strode towards them with purpose, anger boiling inside of me. As soon as I reached them, Phoebe turned to me with a huge smile on her face. “Lora, we’ve been waiting for you.”I frowned, “Waiting for me”? I repeated in a flat voice.“Yes, this lovely gentleman walked up to me to ask about you, and…”I cut her off. "What do you want, Lucien?" I snarled, making Phoebe gasp.I turned to her, “Phoebe. Go to class.”Her brows furrowed sli
Alora's POVI woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing non-stop on top of my bedside table. I wiped the sleep from my eyes and groped around until I got a hold of it. I stared at the screen until the phone stopped ringing.Morgan had already given me four missed calls.Where was he when I called him last night? I rolled my eyes, and looked around. Leo had woken up and gone back to his room. I padded barefoot to the bathroom to freshen up and go to school. Immediately I stepped foot in the bathroom, my phone began to ring again. I stared at it, my thumb hovering over the screen, but I hit decline. If he could ignore me when I needed him most, he could wait too.I was about to head to the bathroom again when my message tone beeped.I huffed in frustration and opened it. Morgan: Why aren't you answering your phone? I hissed.Another messageMorgan: Answer your phone!Morgan: I don’t know why you’re avoiding me, but I need you to f**king talk to me here. Morgan: What the hell is go
