MasukChapter 73CaelenI tipped my head to the side, my eyes wandering around the room in a bid to process what I just heard. “I don’t understand.” I blurted, my throat closing up almost immediately to stop rage from bursting through. “What I’m saying is someone came here on your behalf to check on the deceased.” The leader repeated thoughtlessly. “Did you get a notice from me that someone would be coming here to check on a dead body on my behalf?” I growled and his eyes slowly widened. “Daren, humor me this,” I scoffed, slowly turning around to face him, “when did I learn about this incident?” I asked. “Uhmm..” he glanced at the leader and then back at me, “barely an hour ago after I just told you about it.” He replied and I nodded slowly. “So how is it that I somehow managed to send someone over here to check on the body, on my behalf, when I only learned of this incident less than an hour ago?” My voice dipped into something raspy, scratching the walls of my throat. “I apologize
Chapter 72CaelanFor the first time since he’d arrived, Lucian was finally out of the house, and I couldn’t have cared less where he’d gone. All that mattered was that he was out of my way, and for once I could breathe without the weight of him being around in the air.The two-day deadline I’d given the soldiers was up. I sat in the living room waiting for Daren to bring back an update. If he came back empty-handed, I’d have no choice but to follow through on exactly what I’d said the Alpha King would do, even if it had started as nothing more than a threat.Immediately, there was a knock on the door and I took a deep breath feeling both sad and relieved that Daren was finally here. “Come in.” I muttered, my voice firm. The door swung open and he briskly walked in with a grim look on his face. I took another deep breath knowing immediately that this was going to be one hard news to take in. “Good day sir.” He greeted with a slight bow. I sighed deeply. “Let cut the chit chat Dare
Chapter 71Aurora's povI finally finished the series I had long abandoned and after I switched the channels, I noticed the time. “How long have I been staring at this screen?” I growled and groped around for my phone. Over an hour had passed since Daniel left and I didn’t even notice that much time had gone. The front door swung open and my head snapped up so fast that my neck pinched.Daniel stepped inside looking a little wrecked. His hair messed up, breathing was off, like he'd run most of the way back. The second his eyes hit mine, the tension just dropped off his face."You're still here," he breathed.I leaned back on the sofa, shrugging my shoulders? "It’s my house Daniel, where else would I be?" I scoffed.He shut the door behind him, slower this time, and dragged a hand through his hair. For the first time since he'd come back into my life, he looked lost. "I'm sorry I left like that," he said quietly, walking toward me. "I shouldn't have just bolted without telling you w
Chapter 70Aurora“I hear you haven’t had breakfast yet, is that so?” I asked, adjusting on the sofa while one of the serving girls brought me my bowl of fruits. “Yeah. I just didn’t have the appetite for food.” He responded and avoided my gaze. “Mhhh.. I see. I almost thought you didn’t have breakfast because of me. That would have been so sweet of you but I guess your appetite was the real reason.” I purred unintentionally and he laughed softly, the kind of laugh that tickled the insides of my heart. What is going on with me?! My inner voice kept screaming in the back of my head to get up and get as far away from here as possible, but my body refused to heed to that warning. Slowly, Daniel’s voice overshadowed that yelling in my head until I couldn’t hear that part of me anymore. “So, how is your leg?” He glanced at my leg and noticed the bandage wasn’t there anymore. “I felt better after I woke up. Although what I don’t understand is how I was able to sleep through the entire
Chapter 69 Aurora I tried to get Daniel and his shenanigans out of my head so I could focus on my training, but the more he glanced at me with that smug smile on his hideous face, the more I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Hours swept past and the night had grown extremely cold, so I put down the weapons in my hands and headed towards where my bag was to get a jacket. I barely made it through the field when I felt an excruciating pain driving through the sole of my right foot. I tumbled over and grabbed my ankle, screaming at the top of my lungs. Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably as my hand flew to my leg, throwing my head backwards as the pain tore through my bones. “Aurora!” Daniel howled as he pushed the girl in his arms away and lunged towards me. His eyes fell on my leg and I slowly unwrapped my hands from my ankle and his eyes widened. “Let’s get you home!” He said firmly and lifted me from the floor, carrying me in his arms to his own car. “Put me down, D
Chapter 68 Aurora For some odd reason I still couldn’t reach Freya no matter how many times I called her. “What’s going on?” I muttered, my voice laced with so much worry. What if she passed out again? Did she go back to that training ground? Panic slowly set in and I drove even faster, completely ignoring the speed limit. The moment I pulled over in front of her gate, I rushed into the house, my heart still hanging above my belly. “You always think you’re better than everyone else–” “Let’s face it Iris, I’m quite better at a whole lot of things than you are!” Freya barked. So that’s why she didn’t hear her phone ring. She was busy going back and forth with Iris as usual. I took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open, letting myself in without their notice. “Keep telling yourself that, as long as it helps you sleep well at night.” Iris sneered and stormed upstairs, casually rolling her eyes at me. “Hey..” I exhaled softly and Freya ran her fingers throug
