LOGINChapter 25 - Which hand?Orion’s POV I love you. I didn’t know how the words tumbled out of my mouth, but I was glad I said them, because the blush that covered my Bambi’s face was worth it. But the happiness turned to shock and panic immediately when she went stiff in my arms before her eyes rolled back and her body went limp against my chest.Fuck! I gently placed her on the bed and tucked her in, checking her breathing with my palm on her chest, and I felt it rising and falling evenly; only then did my heart stop trying to climb out of my throat. I ran my hand over her face, and a jolt of electricity passed through me at the touch. She was mine now.Then I ran my fingers through my hair and released a sigh before my body trembled with uncontrollable anger, remembering how my little Bambi had shaken and cried in my arms. I remembered how her eyes glanced up to look at me while she spoke, searching my face for maybe revulsion, like she was waiting for me to push her away, but I cou
He rubbed my back soothingly. “You are welcome, Bambi,” he muttered, his breath brushing my ear. “Bambi, I want to ask you a serious question,” he said, and I detached myself from him, swallowing in anticipation, because his gaze looked different and serious.“What do you want to ask…” I said softly.“What is between you and the warden’s son?”“Warden’s son?” I was shocked by that. So Knox had been managing the prison in place of his father, and Orion nodded, confirming it. I winced a little because I didn’t want to say his name, and I didn’t want Orion to look at me differently after I'm done. “Knox and I were high school classmates.”I didn’t know when my mouth opened and poured everything out. After Knox rejected my letter so cruelly in the cafeteria, I became his… his toy. He called me whenever he wanted and bullied me however he pleased, sometimes by making me put on some clothes and pose for the cameras, or, I swallowed, making me sit on his lap while he… while he told everyone
Chapter 24 - A confessionAurora’s POVMy eyes fluttered open to see a ceiling I didn’t recognize, and I blinked groggily, taking a deep breath before letting out a tired groan. My whole body felt heavy, and my right hand stretched to my temple to rub the side, then I looked to my side and saw Orion’s head perched on the bed. He was holding my other wrist, his palm warm against mine, his fingers curled around it tightly.My heart skipped a little, and a smile pulled on my lips, but it thinned out when I saw the worry on his forehead and the dark circles under his eyes. I shifted a little on the bed and sat upright, then I stretched my hand to caress his face gently, using two of my fingers to straighten his brows and smooth out the crease.My fingers traced down to his eyes, the bridge of his nose, and his lips, then back to the scar on his face, and I wondered how he got it. It looked like an old wound… Then I noticed his breathing change, and I quickly wanted to yank my hand away, b
Chapter 23 — Not your fault Orion’s POVBy the time I walked back to the main cabin, after dismissing Knox’s father and leaving Liam with the guard in the second cabin, the doctor and the nurses were already waiting for me in the living room. When they saw me, they straightened up so fast that I almost scoffed, but I only grunted and raised my head a little for the doctor to start. He was standing there like he wanted to jump out of his skin, with his eyes darting from my face to the door and back again.I put my hands in my pockets to stop them from shaking. “How is she?” I asked, and my voice came out hoarse and rough, yet level.The doctor shuffled on his feet and swallowed. “S-she’s stabilized now, Mr. Beckham,” he said carefully, clearing his throat. “She has a high fever from the rain, and there’s bruising on her ribs…” My jaw clenched at that, and maybe the doctor thought the anger was for him, because he raised his two hands up and waved them. “N-nothing is broken,” he ramble
Chapter 22 - I’m your sonOrion’s POV I didn’t know how we got to the private cabin, because the ride passed in a blur while I was on my phone firing and barking orders at Liam to get the best doctors available, my body buzzing with anger as I stared at my Bambi’s pale face resting against my chest. She hadn’t given a response despite the soft murmurs, except for the occasional breath hitch with my heart hitching with it.Fuck! I wanted to go back and destroy everything, every single person who was responsible for her crying and hurting like that, but my Bambi needed me now. I would make them pay, all of them, but not now, because if I made them pay now, I would be blinded by rage and I wouldn’t be able to make the payment sweet and long, the way they deserved it.When I rushed into the room, it was already kempt and ready, with a doctor and two nurses fretting over my Bambi on the bed. I noticed a wince on her face when the doctor grabbed her arm, and before I could think, I yanked
{go read chapter 20} I've added a little scene of where the nurse will tell her they call her workplace to pass a phone to her but were told she wasn't available.Chapter 21 - I got you. Aurora POV“Ah!” A loud, aggravated shriek tore from my throat as shock… no, disbelief washed over me, and I shook my head in denial. It couldn’t be! The guards around me shifted on their feet; even the one who hit me tsked before going to meet others.She couldn’t just die like that, or was that how people died? Just like that… She asked for me, and I was already on my way. I was—“Ms. Whisper, are you there?” The static voice on my phone wove back in. “I’m so sorry for your loss, but you are required to be here for the posthumous arrangements. Thank you.”I didn’t hear everything she said. The nurse’s voice sounded like it was coming from a distance, from above water. My ears were ringing and my breath was coming in short pants, my throat clogging up, and the phone slipped from my hand to the ground
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
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
