INICIAR SESIÓNChapter 67Aurora The annoying shrill of my alarm pulled me out of my slumber and I sluggishly sat up on my bed, stretching my sore arms above me as I yawned like a baby hawk. “Ugh..” I grunted as the thought of what I’d be doing today entered my head. I couldn’t believe I’d have to spend more and more time around Daniel. My head was still in the cloud when I heard the doorbell from downstairs. It’s way too early for any visitors and I just prayed silently that it wasn’t Daniel. Anyone but Daniel!I had no time to sit and wish around, so I went into the bathroom to freshen up and then headed downstairs as quickly as I could. If I can get out of this house before my father sets his eyes on me this morning then I’ll definitely escape being around Daniel. “I didn’t think you’d come this morning, seeing how my request was on such short notice.” My father’s voice echoed and I grabbed a wall. “Of course I’d show up at any time, you’re like a father to me after all.” He replied. “Horse
Chapter 66Caelan Lucian had refused to leave my house and return to wherever it was he’d come from. Having him around grated on me and ever since he’d learned that Freya didn’t know I was the Alpha King, I’d been walking on eggshells. I measured every word, avoided every opening, doing my best not to give him anything that could force him into making a threat.I’d told him I would tell Freya when the time was right, but I knew Lucian well enough to know he could sense there was more I wasn’t saying.I’d totally forgotten what contact with Freya felt like and I couldn’t get over that kiss we had, I wanted more, needed more but of course she had been avoiding talking about it. Pretending like it never happened and I hated it. I was adjusting my shirt in front of the mirror when my phone rang and I picked it up immediately. It was Daren, exactly as I’d expected. “You ready?” I asked, keeping my voice low and even. “Yes sir. I’m in the driveway,” he replied. “Alright. I’ll be do
Chapter 65Freya“And that’s not even the best part, I’ll be thrilled to tell everyone here exactly what you’re up to, lord Margolis, because judging from the kind of life you live, you have absolutely no right to speak to me about putting the council at risk!” Lord Margolis recoiled in his chair, shock etched all over his face but I was far from being done. “Oh you want to speak of dragging the council in the mud, while we’re at it, why don’t we discuss your constant visits to the brothel in the outskirts of the clan?” I asked firmly, my eyes glued to his face without an iota of fear. “That’s enough young lady!” He barked, slamming his fist into the table. His audacious voice snapped something in me and I felt a pang in my chest. For a moment all I could think of was to lunge at him and rip his eyes off of his face, but I felt a cold hand on my thigh. The hand rubbed gently and I leaned back on my chair, resting my back properly as my blood cooled off. “It seems everyone has a
Chapter 64Freya As much as I dreaded it, the day of the council meeting finally arrived. The one that would likely decide my fate and whether I’d still have a place on the council after the humiliation of taking part in the preliminary training. I dragged myself out of bed and made my way sluggishly to the bathroom, where the warmth of the water against my skin jolted me awake. But it didn’t change the knot in my stomach. I still didn’t want to go, especially knowing that once I stepped into that room, I’d be the topic everyone was waiting to discuss.There was a knock on the door as soon as I was done getting dressed. I rolled my eyes in frustration, the smell of jasmine filling my nose even before I opened it. Iris. “It’s too early please, what do you want?” I asked, pulling the door open. A small grin played at the corner of her mouth, the kind that never showed up unless she was about to say something annoying and I already knew whatever came next wouldn’t be good news.S
Chapter 63AuroraThe moment I stepped onto the front porch, I heard my father’s voice echoing through the entire mansion. But this wasn’t the usual yelling at a servant or screaming into his phone. For the first time in forever, he was actually laughing. I gritted my teeth as I inhaled sharply and pushed the front door open. I prayed silently for no one to notice me as I slipped through the hallway and headed towards the stairs. “Get ready Aurora!” My father ordered and I froze, “you’ll be leaving with Daniel in less than an hour..” I turned around and stormed into the living room, my eyes swiftly sweeping through the room like a dart. “Father, the training isn’t even until sundown, why do I have to leave now?”“I’m sure the two of you have some catching up to do, so it’s best if you get some time to yourself before the main training starts.” He said as he pulled himself up from the sofa. “I’ll be in my office..” that was his cue to walk away, leaving just Daniel and I in the li
Chapter 62AuroraI gritted my teeth as a soft chuckle tumbled out of my mouth. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and I slowly wiped them off with the back of my hand, despite the ac in the room. “What are you doing here Daniel?” I scowled. “That’s not a really nice way to welcome your guest now, is it?” His voice echoed irritatingly. “Welcome my guest?” I scoffed, “you’re even more delusional than my father..” “You don’t seem happy to see me..” Daniel sneered, folding his arms over his chest as he tried to close the distance between us. “Don’t even get any closer to me Daniel..” I snapped and his legs paused. “What even gave you the audacity, to think in that small mind of yours, that I’ll be excited to be in the same space with you?” “Well for starters, we haven’t seen each other in a really long time and judging from how close we used to be, I just thought you’d want to catch up for old times sake at least..” His feigned innocence bore into my soul like a burning dagger a
