LOGINPS: So I've been thinking, and I'm changing the term I'm using in this book now. 'Luna', 'matebond', 'mate ', and 'alpha' are werewolf terminologies, and this book is about a bear shifter. There should be a change not to lean on the werewolf. So Luna is not matriarch, Alpha is not clan leader, pack is now clan, and matebond is now soulbond. Some terminologies are still the same, though they aren't only used for werewolves, like rut, knot, heat, marking, claiming, and breeding.
Chapter 19 -A week had passed since the terrible reliving of the past, and throughout the night, Orion hugged me, rubbing circles on my back until I didn't know when I fell asleep. The days after, I was under the weather for two days, with a fever, a runny nose, and a sore throat. During that time, Orion had practically hovered over my bed, his eyes scanning the room for any intruders, staying with me till I fell asleep, using his arm as a bedrest, and feeding me even when I told him I was okay and that I could do it myself. Then Roland laughed, telling me to let him do it so that it would ease his beastly anxiousness.Although his protectiveness made me smile and feel happy, I still felt the lingering effects of the nightmare. Orion never pushed me to talk about it; he didn't even look at me with curiosity. Which I was grateful for; I didn't think I could speak about it. I wasn't prepared; I don't want to dwell on the past by saying it, but I knew I'd grow out of it too… Can I? Ca
Chapter 18 - In the Hollow Hole IAuroraHot tears streamed down my face as I sat naked on the hard floor. My knees crushed painfully into the dry rice grains beneath me. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to muffle the sound of my weeping.If Knox heard me crying, it would only make him angrier. I had made a mistake of telling him earlier that I wasn't hungry. I had missed a single meal, and his anger had exploded instantly because he believed I was trying to lose weight, a betrayal in his eyes—an attempt to ruin the masterpiece he claimed he had created. Me.I was just a foolish, naive girl who had come to the city looking for a fresh start, only to land straight in the hands of Knox. Knox was my savior. He showed me the way, yet he was my tormentor. I tried to shift slightly to ease the stinging pain, but the dry rice grains only pierced deeper into my skin. Around my neck, the iron chain dangled, clinking against the floorboards. This was one of Knox's punishments for whenever I dis
Chapter 17 - I want you.Orion's POVMy eyes tracked Aurora’s body as she excused herself from the table, and it took every ounce of my willpower to keep my hands from drumming a beat against my thighs. I wanted to follow her instantly. In my peripheral vision, I caught Rook flashing a sly, knowing smirk. A second later, I felt a sharp tug pull at my mind as his teasing voice whirled into my mind.‘You are definitely whipped, Alpha. Look at you, you’re practically seeing stars just watching her walk away,’ he joked via our pack link.I gritted my teeth, throwing a dark glare across the table. ‘It sounds like you aren’t tired from yesterday’s training ring, right?’ I snapped back, raising a threatening brow. ‘I can easily arrange a rematch.’Rook whined internally, the mental link severing instantly as he retreated from my mind. That would keep him too busy to tease me. Ever since Aurora arrived, he hadn’t missed a single opportunity to poke at me, forcing me to get my revenge out on th
Chapter 16 - Pack DinnerAurora POVAfter spending the rest of the morning surfing through lists of local jobs on the new brand phone Orion provided for me, I was surprised when he gave it to me this morning, rubbing the back of his neck with a shyness I didn't know. He said, “If you don't mind.”And I didn't mind at all. My previous phone and everything else was taken by Knox that night. I let out a heavy sigh, not wanting to dive into unwanted memories as I blinked, going back to look at the job listings.I couldn't do manual labor, not administrative files, and a few minutes later, I saw a role for teaching kids, and I knew I was a terrible teacher. Talking from experience with my younger siblings.The only remaining option was the tavern. The medieval-style bar upstairs from the underground MC arena. It was lively and required the kind of social grace I actually possessed from years in the modeling industry.When I told Orion, he let out a deep, rumbling grunt of dissatisfaction. H
Chapter 15 - My Desire for You.My eyes fluttered open, blinking against the ray of morning light as I found myself staring up at a familiar ceiling. I shifted sleepily to the side of the mattress, but the moment the fabric of my nightshirt brushed against my breasts, a sharp, hot sting shot through my chest, making my eyes fly wide open in shock, and I bolted upright in bed.Lifting the hem of my shirt, I looked down and gasped. Dark, purple bite marks ringed my sensitive areolas. A silent screech echoed in my mind as every single memory from last night came rushing back in a tidal wave. Orion eating me out. Me seeing actual stars every single time he pushed me over the peak, over and over again, until my brain completely short-circuited and I lost consciousness.I patted my burning cheeks, feeling them warm. I couldn’t believe I actually fainted. Fuck. The pleasure had been so overwhelming and intense that I couldn’t think anymore. Trailing a hand lower, a shiver rippled down my spin
Chapter 14 - Mate of mine.Aurora's POVI didn’t know how we had left the underground, but what I knew was that my head was lightheaded from the searing kiss as Orion’s tongue did wicked things to me, making my breathing short. His rough tongue probed in my mouth, coaxing me softly yet roughly.As his large hands wrapped around my lower back, I could feel the heat emitted from his palm to my body, which was igniting a heat pool in my lower belly.It was like I was still having the hangover of the dream because, tell me why, I was having erratic jolts all over my body, which were driving me crazy.Orion detached his mouth from mine, and a whiny, breathless moan fell from my lips as he trailed wet kisses with a little nip from my ear to all the way down to my neck, my pulse point. He paused there, his nose nuzzling, and he released a deep growl, grabbing tighter before latching onto my neck, nipping, and kissing, when I felt something sharp graze my neck.My body tensed. His canines.Ori
HChapter 13 - Kiss It Better.Aurora POVI don’t know where we were going, but I was just following Roland, who looked happy and excited for wherever she was taking me. When we finally stopped beneath the buzzing neon sign of a local bar, I whipped my head around to stare at her, my eyebrows raised

Aurora’s POV“Why is she not waking up?”I heard an agitated voice woven into a distant wave in the loop of darkness that surrounded me. The sound was pleasant to me and made the wave calm down in a serene way. I wanted to move my body toward it but it wouldn’t budge.“I’m sorry, Alpha, she has los
