Tristan's POV Days have passed since I last saw Aurora; I haven't heard her voice nor seen her smile; I haven't heard anything from her side, and I miss her. I wonder what's up with her. I have kept myself busy with work ever since but it wasn't enough to keep my mind occupied. “I think we should send for Alpha Elijah,” Diana said as she barged into my office. I dropped my pen on the table and looked up at her, “Barging into my office is one offense, and asking me to send for Elijah is a bigger offense, and I won't tolerate it.” “Aurora hasn't been eating and drinking anything; she isn't even sleeping; all she does is stare outside the window,” Diana said, “If you don't do something immediately, then she will starve to death.” “Then let her starve to death!” I banged my fist on the table and stood up from the chair, “I will bury her corpse!” “Tristan!!” “Diana!!” My chest heaves up and down out of anger, “How do you expect me to see the woman I love in another man's arms? How
Tristan's POV I didn't even think to hear whatever he had to say, so I ran to the royal infirmary to find out what he was going to say.I paused when I got to the door; my hands shook when I placed my hand on the doorknob, and I withdrew my hand out of fear of the reality.“Aurora,” Diana said as she opened the door and ran inside the infirmary.I gathered the courage I had left and ran inside the room. Tears of joy rolled down my face when the reality was brutal.My wife, my Queen, my Luna, my entire universe was sitting on the bed. People were around her with smiles on their faces, and she looked like she was lost.“Au …. Au… Aurora…” I sat on the bed and gave her a tight hug, “Thank…thank… you …. For…. Coming…. Back…. Alive…”I pulled away from the hug when Aurora didn't hug me back and it felt like she was uncomfortable in my embrace.Sign language? Confusion set in on my face when Aurora used sign language to communicate.“What…. What's going on?” I looked at Elena and she shook
Tristan's POV I paced anxiously outside the royal infirmary awaiting any news of Diana and Aurora. It had been over six hours since I brought them here, and yet there was no news.“See, I told you, I didn't go close to your wife and you almost killed me for nothing,” Ava said from behind me. Her tone sounded like mockery, I badly wanted to see her expression. I turned to look at her furiously; just like I expected, she had a small smile on her face, and her hands were crossed on her chest.I grabbed her hand tightly, “You should pray that they both survive it; let me remind you, Aurora, being alive is your only ticket to being my wife.”“What…” I let go of her hand, she lost her balance but regained it immediately. “I hope you understand what I am saying,” I hated her that I couldn't even bear to look at her one more second, “Leave.”“It would be better if she died right there,” Ava said with no emotion as she looked me straight in the eyes.“What?” I took threatening steps close t
Tristan's POV “Tristan stop,” Diana pulled my hands away from Ava's neck, “You are going to kill her.”“Then let her die,” I pushed Diana away from me and she landed on the floor.Ava didn't even struggle, she stood still and the smirk on her face annoyed me even more, “For the last time, where is Aurora?”“How am I supposed to know that?” The more she lied, the more I pressed her neck and her face became red, “I was sitting here the whole time.”“That's even more reason to suspect you!!” I yelled as I pushed her to the floor.Ava clutched onto her tummy tightly, “If anything happens to my child, I will not spare you.”I knew she did it, but I don't have evidence to prove it, “If anything happens to my wife, then I won't spare you.”“If you don't have evidence then don't spew nonsense,” Mother said as she helped Ava to her feet. “Lycan,” One of the search guards ran to where I was, “We have searched everywhere, but we couldn't find her, but we found her torn dress.”Everyone was use
Tristan's POV I felt my world crash as I heard the announcement of Ava's pregnancy. I took a step back till I fell back on my chair. How is this even possible? Why was my head blank? Why couldn't I remember anything related to the night I and Ava spent together? “Lycan, are you okay?” Travis rushed inside my study. “Did you hear it too?” I asked Travis to be sure I wasn't hallucinating.“Yes Lycan,” Travis nodded his head.I looked at the rain hitting the floor through the window, “Aurora must have heard it too, please go to her.” “Sure, Lycan, would you really go to Queen Ava's room tonight?” Travis asked and my head snapped at him, “I would suggest you shouldn't go.”“Just go to Aurora,” I instructed, Tristan bowed his head and left my office.What should I do? How do I explain it to Aurora? Ava!!! That woman was out to get me for no reason. I curse the day I met her, I curse the day I became her friend, I curse the day my mom made me promise her marriage.I paced around my off
Aurora's POVI dropped the book I was reading when I heard the door to my room open, “You reek,” I said when I perceived alcohol inside the room. I didn't need to know who had entered the room.“I will just take a bath real quick,” Tristan's voice filled with guilt, “About last night….”“Yes, I was about to ask that, when did you leave the room?” I lied just the way Diana had asked me to.“Huh?” I could hear the confusion in his voice, “I was here?”“Yes,” I nodded my head.“I'm sorry, I can't remember anything,” Tristan said, “I will get ready so we can go down for dinner together.”I nodded my head, sat patiently, and waited for Tristan to come out of the bathroom, “Why didn't you go to Ava last night?” I asked when he came out.“Do I have to?” He questioned and I turned to look at him, “I didn't want to be close to her even for a second.”I wanted to tell him I understood, I wanted to tell him it wasn't his fault, I wanted to say I'm sorry for putting him through this pain.
