Aurora’s POV “Whatever answer you give will determine your life, if you will live or die,” I lied. No matter what Indigo say here, she was going to die by my hands. She has destroyed me in so many ways, Elena was the last straw. “Queen Aurora!!” Scott called again. “I know what I am doing,” I said without looking at him. “What did you do?” Elijah’s voice broke as he spoke. That was the first time I had seen him like this. “It’s all your fault,” Indigo yelled at Elijah, “And yours too,” She yelled at me. “What did I do to you?” I asked with teary eyes. “I watched my Mother beg for my Father’s love all because of your excuse of a Mother,” Indigo stood up from the floor and stood face to face with me. I looked her dead in the eyes and said “I haven’t seen my fault yet.” “Your Mother destroyed my family; she lured my dad into getting her pregnant; that destroyed my mom, and it indirectly destroyed me. How do you think I felt when a child who is my dad's daughter came to liv
Aurora’s POV “I know who killed Elena,” Ava said and I looked at her blankly. “Don’t we all know who did it?” I furrowed my eyebrows. Everyone knew it was Indigo, but we didn’t have any evidence; she had already accused me of trying to poison her, so there was nothing we could do. “Of course we do,” Ava smirked, “I have something you don’t have and that’s evidence.” “You have evidence?” I was desperate for that evidence but I needed to keep calm, “How come you have it? Are you two partners?” “Partners? That’s funny,” Ava laughed with a hint of sarcasm, “I just helped her with the poison.”“What?” I wasn’t supposed to be surprised but yet I was surprised, “You did what?”“I thought she wanted to kill you. I didn’t know she was going to kill someone else, and it was the easiest way out; I mean, I didn’t want to get my hand dirty,” I boiled with anger; I balled my hand into a tight fist. “You knew, you knew and you watched her drink the poisoned milk,” I yelled when I couldn’t con
Aurora’s POV “I sent the funeral clothes, aren’t you going to get ready?” Diana sat on the bed next to me. Everything feels different, I never for once thought I would be wearing funeral clothes to my Elena’s funeral. I never imagined I would bury her this soon. It’s been only two days since her passing and it felt like years. I didn’t have the strength to come out, not because I didn’t want to see anyone but because I couldn’t face Scott. “I will wear it,” I picked up the dress and went to the bathroom to get change. Tristan had instructed her funeral be held like that of royalties and it will be held in the palace. “Let’s go,” I said when I came out of the bathroom. “You don’t have to try to be strong; just let it out,” Diana said, and I nodded my head. Everybody was wearing all white, they stood around while Elena was placed in the coffin. My legs shook as I walked closer to her. My baby was peacefully asleep, and my hands shook as I touched her face. She was dress
Aurora’s POV Tristan took a threatening step closer to her, “What does NO mean? You wanted her to drink it, someone else drank it and you are saying No?” Tristan questioned while looking at Indigo with suspicious eyes. “I told you my lady didn’t poison it,” Elena said, “She would never poison anyone.” “Now that Aurora has proven her innocence, you have six minutes to get out of the palace,” Queen Diana’s voice held authority. “Let’s go,” I flashed Elena a small smile before I held her hand. We took just one step before Elena paused. I turned to look at her, and she had a painful look on her face. “Are you okay?” I asked and she nodded her head with the most painful smile I have ever seen. Elena turned to look at Indigo, “The… milk was clean,” she shut her eyes then opened them, “I personally made it because I am with child….” “Elena, are you okay?” Queen Diana rushed to hold onto her before I could. Elena's eyes were as red as fire, she looked pale, her lips turning a
Aurora’s POV “You shouldn’t pay attention to what just happened,” Elijah said calmly as he led me to sit on the bed. I shook my head, “I should have learnt sign language,” He smiled sadly. Elijah sat on the floor; he placed my feet on his leg and began to massage them, “A lot has happened; sometimes I wish I could turn back the hand of time to the day we got married. Then we wouldn’t be here; who knows, we might have been happily married.” I didn’t understand what he was trying to say, “When I realized what love was, everything was already over but now I don’t know, I’m just living.” I tapped him on the shoulder and he looked at me with kind yet sad eyes filled with regret. I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he wouldn’t understand, so I ran my hand through his hair as a way of telling him I was there for him. “I finally found a way to hate you then I told myself it wasn’t your fault the child died,” What was he on about? Was he talking about what Indigo said earlier? “I
Aurora’s POV I tossed and turned on the bed. It was already dawn and I couldn’t get a wink of sleep last night. My mind was on Tristan’s kiss. I felt excited like a little girl but I shouldn’t be because I was married. I cheated on my husband but come to think of it, I was sure it was Indigo and Elijah I had seen in the garden last night. Tristan had distracted me, and when I forcefully pushed him away, they were gone, and Tristan said he didn’t see anyone.“My lady,” I turned and sat up on the bed when I heard Elena’s voice, “The Lycan asked you to come down for breakfast.” I stood up, “I know, just get my things ready, and I will come down,” I explained, then went to the bathroom. Seeing the clothes I was being dressed in made me concerned, was it okay to dress as royalty? Why did the Lycan keep sending me clothes instead of my own husband? Queen Ava gave me a dirty look when I took my seat at the dining table, “Glad you came down to eat,” I furrowed my eyebrows, what was Tris
