Aurora’s P.O.V

I stayed awake long after Riley had succumbed to sleep, my mind a jumble of thoughts and emotions. My breath came in short, frustrated bursts. The silence was unbearable, the tension in the air crackling like a coming storm, and finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. I turned sharply to Caleb, who leaned against the wall with that unreadable look on his face—too calm, too distant, like none of this was shaking him the way it shook me.

I gave him a subtle hint, a slight tilt of my head, before I got up and moved towards the door, keeping it open so that I could keep an eye on Riley as well. Caleb, of course, got the hint and came out right after me, keeping the door open behind him.

“What on earth is going on, Caleb?” I demanded, my voice louder than I intended. “Why are the wraiths targeting Riley now?”

His eyes met mine slowly, tiredly. There was something in them—confusion, maybe even a hint of guilt—but no answers.

“I don’t know,” he said, and he actually sounded like

  • Claimed by My Bully Alpha   Special Chapter 475: A Glimpse into the Future

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe moonlight painted a silver sheen over the restless waves, their endless dance meeting the shore with soft whispers. I walked along the damp sand, the cool grains pressing between my toes as I followed the trail of footprints ahead of me. Large wolf paws, their weight sinking deep into the earth, followed by much smaller ones—tiny, hesitant steps pressing into the sand right beside them. My heart clenched at the sight, warmth spreading through me as I lifted my gaze, scanning the dimly lit beach. And then, I saw them. Caleb emerged from the shadows of a large tree, his toned body gleaming under the faint glow of the moon, dressed only in his swim trunks. His hair was damp, clinging to his forehead, evidence of his earlier run through the waves. But it wasn’t just him—right beside him, waddling as fast as his tiny legs could manage, was Cameron. Our son. Only two years old, but already fascinated by everything his father did. His brunette curls bounced as he giggled,

    Caroline’s P.O.VTears welled in my eyes, my chest aching with the force of my emotions. A thousand thoughts rushed through my mind, but only one mattered. “Yes,” I choked out, my voice trembling, my entire body shaking with disbelief and sheer, overwhelming joy. “Yes, Damien. Yes!” The room erupted into cheers, applause, laughter—but all I felt was him as he slipped the ring onto my finger, as he stood and pulled me into his arms, his lips finding mine in a kiss that sealed everything. My dream, my hope, my forever—it was all standing right in front of me. And I had never been happier.I clung to Damien, my fingers digging into the fabric of his suit as if letting go would make this moment disappear. My throat burned, my eyes stung, and I hated how vulnerable I sounded, but I couldn't help it. "I thought you didn’t want to get married anymore," I whispered, my voice trembling under the weight of my fears. I had spent weeks convincing myself that I was overthinking, that the distanc

    Caroline’s P.O.VThe wedding reception buzzed with laughter and music, the air thick with the scent of roses and wine. I sat beside Damien, the warmth of his body just within reach, yet it felt like there was an ocean between us. Five years. Five years of love, passion, fights, and making up. Five years of knowing—deep in my soul—that this man was mine, my mate, my forever. But lately, something has shifted.The once unshakable bond between us felt... strained. I didn't know when it started, but I knew I could feel it. The way he held me less, the way he spoke in careful, measured tones, the way his eyes sometimes seemed far away even when I was right in front of him. And it was killing me. I swallowed hard, gripping my champagne flute as I turned to him. He was staring ahead, his jaw tense, his eyes unreadable. Damien had always been composed, always guarded with his emotions, but this was different. This was distance. And I couldn't stand it any longer. "Damien," I said softly, my

    Aurora’s P.O.V7 months later…I stand in front of the mirror, my fingers grazing the intricate lace of my wedding dress, feeling the delicate embroidery beneath my touch. The reflection staring back at me is almost unrecognizable—the girl I once was has transformed into this woman, this bride, glowing with anticipation. My heart is steady, my breath even, a stark contrast to the usual nervous energy brides are supposed to have. But how could I be nervous when this is everything I’ve ever wanted? "Aurora, I swear you’re the calmest bride I’ve ever seen," Caroline teases, her fingers fussing over the tiny buttons at the back of my gown. "Are you sure you’re not secretly panicking?" I turn slightly, meeting her playful gaze through the mirror. "I’m sure," I say with a soft laugh. "I don’t need to be nervous when I know exactly what I want. My family is here. Caleb is waiting for me at the end of that aisle. There’s nothing to be afraid of." Caroline's expression softens, and before I

    Aurora’s P.O.VI turned to Caroline, my voice soft but trembling with the weight of all the emotions swirling in my chest.“Does this mean you’re back for good?” I asked, searching her face for even the smallest flicker of doubt, praying she wouldn’t tell me she was only visiting.Caroline smiled faintly, but her eyes glistened with something deeper. She shook her head gently before nodding, and I couldn’t help but laugh nervously at the contradiction. “I missed home, Aurora,” she said, her voice breaking just enough to make my throat tighten. “But more than that… I missed my pack. I missed my sister. I don’t think I ever realized just how much until I was gone.”I reached out and squeezed her hand. “You don’t know how much I needed to hear you say that. I’ve been so afraid that maybe we’d lost you for good.”Her laugh was a little wet, almost choked. “You could never lose me. I was just… taking some time to grow, that’s all. But I’m here now. I’m staying.”Before I could reply, peopl

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe music was already playing softly in the background, and the party had barely just started when I suddenly felt someone grab me from behind. I turned, startled, and before I could even speak, Caroline’s arms were around me, squeezing me so tight that I almost lost my balance.“Aurora!” she sobbed into my shoulder, and instantly, my own eyes burned with tears. I clutched her back just as fiercely, feeling her trembling, and whispered.“Caroline, oh my God, I still can’t believe you’re really here?” My voice cracked, and the moment I said it, I broke down with her. We were both crying in the middle of the deck, not caring who was watching, not caring that everyone else had gone quiet for a second before turning their attention back to their chatter. She kept holding on, her tears wetting my suit jacket, and I didn’t even care.“When did you even get here?” I finally asked, pulling back just enough to see her face, though our hands still clung together like we were afra
