LOGINChapter 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
Chapter 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
