Aurora's POV
My heart sank seeing the position they were locked in, my husband Elijah and my sister Indigo were locked in an intimate embrace. Indigo was sitting on the desk, her legs wrapped around Elijah's waist and they were both naked. “I finally get to have you in the room alone,” It sounded like torture hearing Indigo moan out those words. “I have missed you,” I clenched my fist so hard. Indigo's eyes met mine or maybe it was just my imagination, she smiled, “I love you,” she kissed him on the lips. My personal bodyguard, Scott, also Elena's mate, closed the door, “Luna, I think it's time to welcome the guest.” “Are you aware of this?” I asked angrily and he ignored me, he knew. Scott knew about the affair of my husband with my sister. How could he not tell me? “Do you also think I'm a joke?” Tears rolled down my eyes. “I just wanted to protect you, I'm sorry,” Scott apologized, I didn't want to listen to anything so I ran away. “Just let her be,” I heard Elena say. I ran to the back of the house where I knew no one would be, I sat on the floor and buried my head in my hand. What wrong did I ever do? Where did I ever go wrong? I knew he didn't love me but my sister? They both went too far or maybe he manipulated her, Indigo isn't like that, she would never betray my trust. I shouldn't jump into conclusion like that, I should confront him, I must have seen wrong. I stood up and wiped my eyes, I was about to go inside when I heard an animal whimper, I looked around and saw an injured dog. I gently picked it up, “It must have been caught in a trap,” I said in my head after accessing the dog. Let's fix it, I touched the dog's leg and it began to heal. I let the dog go after I had healed his leg but I became a little weak. “Are you okay?” Someone asked and held me as I was about to fall. Did he see what I just did? I nodded my head because I couldn't answer. He looked familiar but I couldn't recall where I had seen him. The man was handsome, he was so tall and well built, he had beautiful emerald eyes, I got a little lost staring at his eyes. “What are you doing out here?” The man dropped his cigar on the floor and stepped on it. “Luna!!” Elena ran to where I was. I turned to her, feeling thankful that she came here, “Tell him, I'm okay and this is my house, also tell him, he should go inside and he isn't allowed in this area.” Elena turned to him, to my surprise, she smiled at him and bowed her head in respect, “Lycan King, I'm sorry, this is Alpha Elijah's Luna.” Oh my gosh, he is the Lycan King and I didn't even know, no wonder his presence had some type of Aura. “Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know who she was, I shouldn't have asked any questions,” The Lycan King waved at me and I smiled in response. “You are such a beautiful young woman and congratulations on your wedding anniversary,” I smiled at him. “Lycan, it's time to go inside,” one of the Lycan King's guards said. The Lycan King smiled at me before leaving with his guard. “Are you okay?” Elena asked and I forced a smile on my face. I wasn't okay, I was dying inside and I wished this would be over soon. “What did he say?” Elena asked, “He is so handsome, his wife would be so happy knowing she is bringing such a trophy home,” Elena fangirled over him. I hit her on the hand playfully, “He didn't say anything and what makes him special? I believe he is just like others.” “My lady, that's what you think,” Elena rolled her eyes and held my hand, “ Let's go inside, Alpha Elijah sent for you.” I nodded my head and followed her inside. I had mixed feelings about what I saw earlier but I just needed to pretend. “I hope you are treating my daughter well?” That was the question I met Father asking Elijah. With a smile on his face, he lied proudly, “Yes, she likes it here.” “Thank you for giving her the care, I couldn't give her,” Father smiled and left with stepmother and I saw Elijah roll his eyes. Elijah was about to leave when I held his hand, “Let's talk.” “What the fuck are you saying? Call an interpreter or something,” Elijah yelled in a whisper. I closed my eyes for a moment. “She wants to talk to you,” Scott said from behind me. “What does she want? The Lycan King is at this event and I want to go and greet him so make it snappy,” Elijah said impatiently. “Why did you do it? Why with my sister? Why in your room? Why did you get caught?” I asked angrily while trying to control my tears. “Luna Aurora wants to know why you were sleeping with her sister in your bedroom,” Scott said and Elijah burst into laughter making people's attention turn to us. “What gives her the right to ask me that question?” Elijah asked, “Didn't I try staying with dumb for the past five years?” “Were you doing me a favor? Did I ask you to marry me?” I asked angrily as the tears I was trying to hold fell off my eyes. “Did I force you to marry me? Does being dumb mean you should maltreat me?” Elena only interpreted one part and said whatever she liked. “You know what? I'm fucking tired of this madness, can't you see I don't love you? Can't you see marrying you was to secure my position as an Alpha, why do you keep whining? I secure my position as a powerful Alpha despite you being useless to me and you also got respect as the Luna, no one dares bully you, so what else do you want?” Alpha Elijah's words cut through my chest like a sharp blade. Elena looked at me and I shook my head, I couldn't even think of what to say, my head went blank as I stared in disbelief. Elena clenched her fist and said, “So you used me for your selfish means but at least you should have treated me right, not fuck my sister on our matrimonial bed!!” “What? Who is Alpha Elijah's mate? He was having an affair with his wife's sister? That's terrible, she was already dumb, I wonder what she will be going through? What did she think, that a man such as Alpha Elijah would stick with her for life? Will he denounce her as his mate? What will happen now? Did he mark the mute or the sister as his mate?” I began to feel anxious as those whispers were flying around the room. Please make it stop, please. “Look Aurora, you are weak, you are a useless mute, I don't love you and I don't think I can ever love you as I already love someone else so it's best I free you today,” Elijah said and I shook my head furiously. No, no, no, he can't do that. “Listen, I will pretend as if it didn't happen, I won't question you about it again, I will not Interfere,” I said. I waited for Elena or Scott to interpret it but they didn't. I touched Elena as tears rolled down my eyes, “Why aren't you saying anything?” I touched Scott, “Why aren't you telling Elijah what I said?” No one was listening to me, no one was and I felt helpless that I couldn't even help myself out. Elijah stared at me with indifference, he has never looked at me with love but today was worse than ever, “I, Alpha Elijah of the blood moon pack, declare before everyone here that I no longer recognize Aurora as my Luna, my mate and my wife, you are no longer my concern,” His every tone dropped with poisonous Vernon and I could feel each drop burn me. I shut my eyes tight as a lone tear rolled down my face, I knew he didn't love me but now I finally got the message loud and clear.Aurora’s POV “Time flies,” Diana said, staring into space and my eyes were focused on her. “It’s been fifteen years already, time really does fly,” I looked away from Diana and focused my eyes on Elena’s headstone. It’s been fifteen years since Ava ran off with Nalani, and I didn’t even know where my daughter was. Tristan stopped the search when he saw a letter in her room that she was with our daughter and she would take care of her with her life. I didn’t want that, I wanted my child but Tristan felt it was okay for Ava to raise my baby girl. “Are you still thinking about Nalani?” Diana asked an obvious question and I nodded my head. “How could I not think about her? I don’t even know if my child is alive and eating well, I know nothing,” I sighed. “Mother,” Eryx, my baby boy, called with Layla by his side. Tristan decided to announce to everyone that Layla was our first child, and she will be called Princess Layla, and he declared that no one should tell Layla about her
Aurora’s POV “I see you are done with resting,” Mother said when I entered her room. “It took you long enough, I thought you would be here the moment you gave birth.”I laughed, “I needed to recover before I dealt with you, I gave you enough time to kill me but you couldn’t do anything.”“So did you come here to punish me?” Mother asked slyly. “I thought of it well, and I will just send you back to exile, and this time, I will make sure you don’t return,” I smiled slyly, “Trust me.”“Aurora, you remind me of Queen Nunu and I hate that,” Mother said, “You should enjoy today’s ceremony because I will make it memorable.”Memorable? Now I don’t trust her, “Don’t try anything funny else I will end your entire existence.” “I know,” Mother smirked, “I should go get ready to witness my son’s downfall.”“Sure,” I said and hurriedly walked out of Queen Roopa’s room.“Are you okay?” Tristan asked when I bumped into her, “You look like you have seen a ghost.”“No, I just wanted to go see my ki
Aurora’s POV Mother touched my face gently, “Today I will watch you meet your end, all Nunu’s bloodline will meet their end,” Mother smiled.“Pray I don’t survive this else I will make sure you don’t see the next second,” I cried in pain. I really hope I survive this.“Aurora, are you okay?” Diana asked as she ran inside my room and Mother started pretending to cry.I was lying on the floor, covered in sweat and pain all over, and I was trying to control myself by breathing in and out.“What’s going on? Why isn’t the physician here?” Mother faked asked. I felt disgusted by her hands on me.“Tri….. Tristan?” I held Diana’s hand in tears, “Please help him.”“You shouldn’t be talking about Tristan right now, we should be focused on you,” Diana said in a panic. “You …… you….. don’t ……understand…..” I looked at Mother then looked at her as I bit my lips, “Don’t…. Let…. Him…. Have….. any….. thing.”“I will make sure he comes here immediately,” Diana said as she stood up, “I will make sure
Aurora’s POV The moment the carriage arrived at the palace, I jumped down and ran to my room. I shut the door and leaned my back against it as I tried to catch my breath.“It looked like you had discovered a secret you shouldn’t have,” I opened my eyes to see Ava sitting on the chair in my room.“What are you doing here?” I regained my composure and stood up straight, “How are you?” I was scared to go close to her, she looked better than before, her eyes weren’t as dark as they used to be. “People think it’s fun being a witch,” Ava skipped my questions and began saying whatever she had in mind, “They think it’s okay to see the past and the future but it’s torture.”“What are you on about?” I questioned. I wanted to understand what she meant but I couldn’t.“I guess you finally saw who killed Queen Nunu,” Ava furrowed her eyebrows, “As long as you have a witch blood in you and you touch people you must see something you wish you never saw.”I see she already saw Queen Roopa kill Qu
Aurora’s POV Seeing Tristan stand there with teary eyes made me hurt. I hadn’t seen him up close in a long time, I was excited to see him here, but now I have to watch him cry, and I couldn’t bear it.“Is that what you really want?” I asked, hoping he would change his mind, but he didn’t. He nodded his head, “I will go to where she is and bring her myself, you will come with me, and you must be responsible for her well-being while she is in the palace.”“If she does anything or anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility,” Tristan responded. I bit my lower lip and nodded my head. For some reason, I didn’t trust Queen Roopa. I felt like she was up to something. “Let’s go.”We left the palace and went to where Queen Roopa was being kept. She was lying on the bed with tears all over her face and the physician was checking her.“I think I’m going to die! I think I’m on my deathbed,” Mother cried at the top of her lungs. I’m sure she was pretending.“Mother,” Tristan ran to sit
Tristan’s POV “Do you want to continue living like this?” Diana asked for the hundredth time today, “It’s been months.”“What do you expect me to do?” I dropped the new paper on the table and furrowed my eyebrow. “I mean, go and see her at least once, she misses you,” Diana whined. “Did she send you here?” I questioned, “You know I can’t forgive her for that day and you know she also wanted this separation.”“Tristan,” Diana called, “She is pregnant too.”“Diana, what do you want?” I questioned seriously. “I want you to forgive Aurora,” Diana stated what she wanted, and from what I could remember, she had been saying this for months. “It’s time for me to go see Ava,” I stood to my feet. “You will go see Ava but can’t see Aurora? You have been doing this for months,” Diana spat angrily. “I feel guilty, I feel like it’s my fault, that’s why I check up on her well every day,” I said, feeling guilty. “Ava has tried to take her life a lot of times.”“Didn’t you hate her?” Diana aske
