Aurora's POV
I crashed down and hit my head on the ground when he pushed me… “Ash!” I groaned in pain while I grunted heavily.
But the words that came out of Alpha Damien's lips were shocking and I can't believe he would make me his mistress, A sidechick instead of Luna. He placed Julia over me and this wasn't what he promised me.
‘Why is he failing in his promise? Could it be because of the power Julia possesses?’ I felt bitter and sorrowful that this was my fate.
But I won't resign to my fate!
I won't allow it!
I will fight fiercely until I make Alpha Damien mine.
Julian's POV
Alpha Damien left Aurora on the ground and he held me by the wrist and pulled me alongside him as he paced fiercely.
His hands were stiff like iron and it was hurting. But I was silent until he dragged me into the main building.
As soon as we got there, he unwrapped his hand from my wrist.
‘Ash.’ I groaned gently and when I looked at my hand it was red. I had to hold it with my other hand.
“Why's your hand that red? Who hurt you?” Alpha Damien asked me, his eyes fixed on my wrist.
I sighed disgusted by the way he was acting like he cared. “You hurt me. Why would you drag me like that in the first place?” I challenged him.
“I did this?” He asked with a shocking glare.
“What am I doing here? You have not answered me?” Her eyes again… this time I was impatient.
“I want us to spend more time together.” He replied with a low tone.
I scoffed. My face formed into a grin. “I am not interested in spending more time with you? You rejected me, Alpha Damien. Why are we even having this conversation? Gosh!” I expressed those words with irritation.
Alpha Damien glared at me with surprise in his eyes. He never expected that I would react in such a manner. “Do you hate me now?” He asked in a slow voice. His emotions were throbbing.
I knew he was vulnerable at that point. “Yes, I don’t have a single love left to give to you. You broke me, Alpha Damien and now you want me back just like that? Things aren't done that way.” After I voiced my opinion, his eyes reddened and he sucked his teeth with heavy breath puffing out of his nostrils.
He was silent and he came closer to me.
“What is it?” I asked but he was silent and his glare was devastating
I drew backwards, having it in mind that he wanted to hurt me until I took the last step and hit my back on the wall.
He placed his hand across my hand and glared at me in the face for a while. Without further expression, he suddenly snatched the necklace on my neck. And he moved backwards sharply.
“Give back my necklace already! That is the only gift my father left behind.” I yelled at him.
But he was silent as he glared at it. His eyes gleaned thin. “This necklace belongs to the Dark Knight pack and if your father gave this to you…” His eyes widened with a shocking expression.
And he returned to me with a fierce face, “who are you?” His voice was a venomous tension.
I hissed aloud with spite in my eyes. “You have always called me weak because I am an omega. I don't care anymore. Just hand over that necklace!” My voice was imposing and at the same time demanding. Those harsh words seemed like a threat.
“This necklace really means a lot to you but it contains the power I want. So, I am going to take it from you.”
“You must be joking because I won't allow that to happen. It is the only gift I got from my deceased father and you want to take it from me because you think it contains some kind of power. That won't be fair and I will fight you with everything I have just to have it back!”
Alpha Damien half-smiled. “I can easily throw you inside the dungeon and no one will ever ask about you again if I so want to wield it's power. But I am not going to do that.” “I am going to give back this necklace, because you said it's a gift from your late father but I am going to borrow it from you any time there is war.” After he said that, he returned it to me.
‘Funny how he believes in his wit. You wouldn't be able to borrow it. Cause I am bringing the war to you!’ I echoed within myself.
As he turned to leave, he spoke aloud… ‘I need a massage from you. So, do not take long before you come to my room.”
As soon as I heard what he wanted, I hissed. ‘That’s not going to happen.’
Just as I echoed within me, Beta Aurora walked in. Her eyes were fierce and it seemed she was bruised by the side of her arm.
“Beta Aurora!” I called her name harsly.
And she turned to face me with shock in her eyes. “Why the hell are you calling me?”
“Alpha Damien needs a woman to massage him and I thought you would be in the best position to do so. As for me, I am not interested in pampering his ass.” I spoke with pride in my voice.
Beta Aurora felt awkward and was short of words for a while.
But I left her presence before she could even talk back to me. Getting outside the mansion, I saw a soldier walking along. I rushed up to meet him.
“Good day, sir. Can you take me to the dungeon?” I asked him, hoping he would be able to help.
“You must have gone nuts! You've committed no crime to be taken to the dungeon. If you would excuse me, I have something better to do.” He jogged off.
I was disappointed and I slowly walked around the mansion hoping I would get inside the dungeon by myself.
But as I reached a corner, a tall figure stood behind me and before I could turn. He choked me with the handkerchief he had in his hand.
“We need to talk…”
Julia's POV I kept glaring at Aurora's stomach to see if it was true. As if Aurora knew my thoughts, she swiftly laid her hands on her stomach, rubbing it gently. “ Oh dear, I must be really tired” she said while trying to ensure I noticed her pregnancy. Inside, I become broken. Shattered. Betrayed. Aurora had won the fight. She is now carrying the child of Alpha Damien in her womb.. “Welcome back Julia. I'm glad you made it and didn't die” Aurora spat with disdain in her eyes. I could see how shocked and pained Aurora felt because of my presence but the fact that she was carrying Alpha's child, made her think highly of herself. “ We can't just keep glaring at each other that way. Let us sit and talk things out” She said, with a disdainful expression, her hands rubbing her stomach down.Refusing to break down in the presence of Aurora, my feet scurried and I left putting on a smiling face regardless. “Oh Julia, where do you think you're going? Have I said anything bad?” I
Aurora's POV I sat in my chambers wrapped with a blanket, crying eyes out. For two days now, I haven't stepped a foot outside my chambers but Alpha Damien never cared. He wasn't interested in my existence and had become completely different towards me. I thought Julia's disappearance and being pregnant with Damien's child would save a nine. But, none of these things worked out. Damien's heart belongs to Julia and not me. She's the only one he thinks about and not me, the pregnant one with his child. If I had known, I would have left things to slide and not get pregnant for Damien. Now, everything's been ruined. Agonizing tears brimmed down my face as I wiped them with the blanket. No one seemed to care about me and my feelings, not even the maids. I saw the way they crowded Julia the other time, begging her not to leave the royal pack house. But here I was without food for two days in my condition, yet no one cared. As the betrayal of Damien kept weighing me down, a plan c
Julia's POV The mention of Aurora's name by Alpha Damien suddenly brought back past memories in my mind. “ Aurora saved you?” I asked Damien, my voice weak. Damien patted my hair holding a weak smile. “ Yes, Julia. Aurora intervened quickly and that was why I didn't die from the strange illness” he explained to me. I kept quiet and didn't reply to Damien because I knew it was the same Aurora who fired the deadly illness on him. Her aim was cryptic, to make Damien hers forever and to destroy me completely. But all of these were oblivious to Damien and I was sure Aurora thinks I am dead also. “ How is Aurora doing? I never asked after her. Is she well?” I asked, showing a weak smile. Glaring at Damien, I could see regret written all over his face. And the fact that he was delaying to answer my questions speaks how deeply hurt he was. “ Did anything happen to her while I was away?” I asked again. Damien scoffed. “ Nothing happened to her, Julia. She's just fine” As Damien c
Julia's POV Silence settled. The wind withheld its gale. All the trees that swayed earlier steadied; like they had seen a greater force coming and they decided to stay calm and collective.I watch with rapt attention. Just to see the man coming towards me but the dark cloud didn't let me see clearly. “ Julia”I heard my name very clearly from afar.Damien. My eyes widened. That must be Damien. I was sure he was the one. The voice sounds exactly like his. I screamed. “Damien!” My voice was barely audible. There was no strength left in me after Lukas tied me up for two days without food or water. Glancing around, I didn't see Damien anywhere but I could still hear him scream my name. What should I do? Strength has gone out of me. It will be impossible for Damien to locate me in that dark and hidden building. As Damien continued to scream my name, I opened my mouth to respond but he couldn't hear me. Then a thought came into my mind. I realized my wolf was getting weak from the
Julia's POV Debris floated in the air.Thunderstorms blast, making the atmosphere quite turbulent and chaotic. The weather itself held a frown on its face . A gale, a furious one blew furiously causing the trees to sway with so much tension.A groan escaped my lips as Lukas’s sharp whip landed at my back. The pain overtook me, causing all my body to tremble. The past two days have been hellish. Lukas tied me against a tree very far from this house but in another dark building near an old crumbled house.It's been weeks with him in Silverfang pack. Literally, I was his object. A tool that he constantly abused all day and night.“ Are you still holding on, Julia? Give me the damn pendant!” Lukas groaned, while whipping me hard. I whimpered, tears welled up my eyes.Since I refused to become Lukas's mate, he has ceased the opportunity to torment me because I rejected him. And that moment when I rejected him, he has completely turned into a beast using the opportunity to demand for
Alpha Damien's POV The next day, I lay on the bed, my eyes fixed on the empty ceilings. They looked pale. Nothing fascinating to watch. Nothing interesting. “ I am pregnant” I remembered Aurora's words from last night. A heavy lump grew so hard on my chest that it caused me some breathing difficulties.I must have been a fool. How could I have let this happen? I knew it all from the very time Aurora handed me the bottle of wine. My sense didn't move smartly to detect her evil plans.My face swelled as I blamed myself continuously for the one night mistake I made that has led to an everlasting entanglement with the woman I wanted to do away with. Julia Is my true love. She's the one I love and I was determined to find her without thinking of the people's lives that I would be endangering. For two days now, I and some of the guards have been searching around for Julia. We searched both day and night. Now, I will have let the guards stay back while I embark on the journey myse
