Chapter 46 - Unknown Unknown POVI've been watching from the shadows, lurking in the dark, moving every piece until it finally fell into place. I'm the master of the darkness, and darkness always rewards patience.I walked through the dark hallway of the former council building, after making sure the guard on duty was fast asleep. The place stank of dried blood and rot, the stench thick enough to cling to the back of my throat. The dead elders hadn't even been given a proper burial. They'd simply been left to decay in the room they'd been locked inside, sealed away with the mess they made. A fitting kind of payback, I supposed, for what they'd done to that poor girl.I pulled the keys off the sleeping guard's belt and made my way to the iron gate at the end of the corridor. The keys clanked loud against the metal, and the sound pulled the woman huddled in the corner up out of the shadows. Her eyes lit the second she saw me, a smile pulling weakly at her cracked lips.She sniffed. "I
Chapter 45 - HelplessnessAurora's POVEvery creak, every sound, and every shuffle in the house made my head twirl behind me, checking if someone was catching up to me in my home. Everything was taking its toll on me, and I couldn't help it, couldn't stop it; not even my own brain and mind were on my side anymore. I was drowning, deeper every day, and I knew it. Nightmare after nightmare chased me in sleep until sleep became something terrifying, until I found myself crouched in corners, trying to get away from the unknown.When the nightmares stopped working on me in my sleep, they started catching me wide awake instead. Knox was catching up to me even with my eyes open now. There was a day Roland came to check on me, and I was so lost in the past that I didn't even notice her walking into the room. I was awake, technically, physically standing there, but my mind had dragged me somewhere else, back to when I'd been grabbed from behind.I flinched away in alert, and I turned to find h
Chapter 44 - Running!Aurora's POV"Where do you think you're going, sweet Bella?"He was here. I shook my head frantically, trying to run from him, but it didn't matter which direction I chose; I always circled back to him. It was impossible no matter how I ran. I was running, I knew I was running, and I couldn't stop, and yet he was still catching up to me, his taunting laughter ringing out through everything, filling every corner of the dark around me."Please... I'm sorry," I begged, but the pleading only seemed to edge him more, making his grin stretch wider. Then his face flashed close in front of mine, and I screamed again, my hands flying to my stomach on instinct, protective, but there was no hit this time. Just a gust of cold air rushing past my ear, making me shiver in fear. I didn’t know what he had planned or what he wanted to do with me.Everything went silent, and I whipped my head around, searching, but he wasn't there anymore. Then he was behind me, tilting his head to
Chapter 43 - Roland's FightAurora's POVI'd been anxious for a week now, even though I'd reread the message Knox sent more times than I could count, and that was still all he'd sent; Just one text. I kept telling myself maybe it was a fluke, a slip, because the Knox I knew was never this calm. He would have come for me; he should have shown up, but there'd been nothing.Even Orion had ordered both Rook and Liam to tighten security around the borders, screening every outsider coming in or out of the territory. All of that, just for me, although he still didn't know the full weight of what he was protecting me from.I rubbed my face. It wasn't easy, talking it out, telling him everything that happened. How Knox force-fed me. Hit me. Locked me up. Cheated on me, while I trusted him like a fool. Fuck. There was a limit to anyone's patience, and maybe that limit was what was holding me back from telling Orion that I loved him.Because I did. I loved him with everything in me. I needed to
Chapter 42 - My exAurora's POV My hands trembled, my breath hitched as I stood frozen, and my heart rose and fell in a wave of panic. Panic was engulfing me as my eyes stung and blurry with tears. He found me. Where did he even get my number? I was hyperventilating, my eyes rolling back in shock. My brain is still repeating the words like a mantra, making it hard to breathe, to get air in my lungs.Roland shook me hard, her voice sounding like it was coming from somewhere underwater, muddled with the wave. "Aurora, breathe," but nothing was getting through. My ears were ringing in a loud pounding sound, drowning out everything else, until I felt my knees buckle before giving out beneath me as I met the floor and everything went dark.When my eyes finally opened again, I found Orion sitting beside me, worry carved deep into his face. I'd made him leave in the middle of a business meeting he'd been grating his teeth over for weeks, one he kept saying was worth millions. I felt useless
Chapter 41 - Sweet BellaAurora's POV 5 months laterWe sat on the couch, I and Roland, as I rubbed my protruding stomach, patting it to calm the baby living inside me, trying to get him to stop being so energetic as I munched on the grilled meat. Me and Meat were now best friends, and I had become so obsessed with it that I didn’t even need to go to the store anymore before the couple or their son brought it to our doorstep.But I didn't care as I rubbed my bulging stomach, slowly soothing the playful creature inside me. “Careful, Mlue!” I admonished gently, and the baby stopped moving.Roland, who was beside me, shook her head and let out a tch. “I still couldn't believe you named your child that.”“What!” I became defensive, "What's wrong with that beautiful name?" wrapping my arms around myself and tutting. “Don’t mind your godmother, baby. She doesn’t understand,” I said softly to my stomach.“You have the worst naming sense in the world,” she said again, and I giggled. This woul
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
Aurora’s POVI can’t stay here.I can’t! I can’t.I chanted in my head repeatedly. My brain moved before my body as pain erupted everywhere, and I groaned into the floor, pressing my hand flat against the cold tile and trying to breathe through it. My ribs were throbbing, my head was pounding, and
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
