The hollow within IIMy eyes widened slightly as I saw her walk down the hallway toward the nursery room. She pushed the nursery door open, padded closer to the wooden cot, and tilted her head sideways, staring intently at the unmoving baby before a soft, heartbreaking smile touched her lips.“Hush now, Mlue. Don't cry for mummy,” she cooed gently, reaching down to pick up the baby as if he were alive in her arms. She pressed a tender kiss to his forehead. “Mummy is here,” she cradled him tightly against her chest as she started dancing in a slow circle around the room.She even playfully tossed the baby up a few inches and caught him securely, letting out a bright laugh that sounded in the quiet room. “Who is the good baby?” she grinned wide. “You are, Mlue,” she crooned.My breathing stuttered as I stood still at the doorway, watching her actions with a heavy heart, deciding to just let her have this momentary peace if it could somehow soothe the jagged pieces of her shattered heart
Chapter 60 - The hollow within IOrion POVEver since I got my soulbond back, I haven't been eating or sleeping properly. My eyes were constantly hovering over her form to check for any changes in her body because of the deep sleep she had been trapped in, while I was simultaneously torn apart inside by our cub waiting inside the nursery cot.The fire surrounding the crib hadn't died down since that day, which was honestly surprising because my Dawn wasn't even awake yet, but it was as if, even without her consciousness, the fire had to carry out her order to guard and protect the baby. When Roland had tried to reach close to the cot, the flames had lashed out like a whip and thrown her hard against the wall, yet the moment I stepped near the crib, the fire remained calm and welcoming.So no one else was allowed anywhere near the cot. Maybe it was even that phoenix fire that was somehow keeping the baby's body preserved, keeping it from going through the natural decay process that sho
Meet Again II“It's okay, Dawn.” I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts by Orion's soft voice, and I stared into his face, taking in his warm amber eyes as a tear slipped down my cheek. Orion had already gone through a lot in the past, and even in our second lives, misfortune always seemed to follow him.“Let's leave the lovebirds alone,” I heard a voice murmur behind us, but I didn't turn around; I didn't want to waste my moment with him.My chest thumped, unbothered by the door opening and closing as they filtered out. Orion was different from the past; he was different from that scrawny human slave, or... I shook my head to clear the thoughts, hugging him even tighter against me. He was here now, warm and with a steady, beating heart. My Sol was back safely in my arms, living and breathing.I could still vividly taste how wretched and anguished it felt the moment his heart slowed; I never wanted to feel that horrible, soul-crushing emptiness ever again. I thought back to when I h
Chapter 59 - Meet AgainAurora POVI jolted wide awake with tears streaming out of my eyes, my gaze looking frantically around the room without seeing Orion beside me. I sucked in a sharp, terrified breath—don't tell me Orion was still in danger. I yanked the IV line from my wrist, blood welling up from my skin, but that was the least of my worries as I forced myself to get down from the bed. My legs were wobbly at first, and I stumbled and fell against the floor.I didn't let that deter me for a second as I shoved myself up to my feet, running blindly out of the room. Panic surged through my body in fear: what if what Knox said about Orion being hurt was the truth? I ran hazily through the stairs, not caring if I tripped or fell on the steps. I just wanted to see him breathing with my eyes. As soon as I reached the middle of the stairs, I saw Orion standing there in a conversation with an elderly woman, Roland, and Liam, all of their brows deeply furrowed in heavy discussion.My ears
Orion & Isabella IIWhen I drew closer to the farm, I saw him walking hazily in the distance, and a bright smile naturally pulled on my lips, overjoyed to see him after days upon days of aching to feel him. A wide smile curved my mouth as I wanted to break into a run to him, an arrow shot out of nowhere and struck him in the back.It all happened in slow motion as my eyes widened in horror, watching how he stumbled forward. My breath hitched in shock before I could even run to him, hands grabbed me forcefully from behind, pinning me down while I growled fiercely, watching Deon step slowly out from the shadows.“My sweet Bella, what did I tell you?”Sol was groaning on his knees, gritting his teeth in pain as he reached back to hold the wooden shaft of the arrow buried in his upper shoulder. He yanked the arrow from his back, throwing it aside as I shook my head in frantic denial, unable to move because I was pinned down.Rustling sounds echoed loudly as several men from the farm marche
Chapter 58 - Orion & Isabella IAurora pov“You are getting engaged.”“No, Mama!” I shook my head vehemently in absolute refusal. “I can't!” I cried, my heart trembling with a painful ache. “I have someone I love,” I blurted out, the truth leaving my lips, there was no need to hide it anymore. “I love Sol. He is human, and I shared a bond with him.”My mother's eyes widened a little at the revelation before a soft, sorrowful smile graced her lips. “Both of you can't be bonded, Bella. You are different.” “No, we are not!” I refuted immediately. “You are a phoenix princess, my sweet daughter but he-” she rubbed her temple, “he is a human slave.”“Mama!” I called out. My heart pulled for Isabella because I knew she and Sol truly shared the purest kind of love.Mother turned her back to me, leaving me crying on the ground. “I'm sorry, Bella. You have to marry Councilman Deon and be claimed. Forget that human,” she muttered dismissively. “Human life is fickle and only a tiny pinch in a p
Aurora’s POV“Harder, baby.”“Fuck, your cunt is so tight.”I stopped dead in my tracks, sucking in a sharp breath as the moans surrounded me in the hallway. I gulped and exhaled a shaky breath, not wanting to think about what my ears had just picked up. Maybe my head was playing tricks on me, but
Chapter 5 - Don’t LeaveAurora“Coming!”A distant voice filtered in and I immediately placed it — Roland, the name I had been able to attach to the female voice that had woven in and out of my consciousness.The door opened and she walked in while I stared at her from under my lashes because I cou
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
Orion’s POVI had been feeling agitated since I woke up, my mood dampened and hazy as irritation crawled at the back of my mind, but this was different from the usual restlessness while my animalistic side was pacing in the background. I resisted the urge to groan, feeling a headache creeping in fr
