Aurora’s P.O.V

I didn’t want to cry, not again. Not in front of him. I turned my back to Caleb, forcing one foot in front of the other, hoping the sound of my footsteps would drown out the ache in my chest. The words I wanted to scream clung to my throat like they didn’t trust me to say them right. That’s when I felt his fingers wrap around my wrist—warm, firm, certain.

“Aurora, stop,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper, but it trembled with urgency. “Please. Just let me talk to you for a second.”

I hesitated, eyes shut tightly as I clenched my jaw. My body stilled even though my heart begged me to run.

“Caleb, don’t—”

“No,” he interrupted gently, stepping closer, his fingers trailing down until they entwined with mine.

“You don’t get to walk away thinking you’re wrong for being who you are.”

I opened my eyes, but I didn’t look at him. I stared at the ground like it had answers I didn’t. But Caleb wasn’t having any of it. He took a step forward, closing the distance, and sudden

    Aurora’s P.O.VI froze, staring at the empty spot where Ashton and Maggie had been just seconds ago, my breath catching in my throat.“Alice… Did you see that? They just—” I gestured wildly at the air, my voice almost breaking. “—they just vanished. Right there. In front of us.”Alice’s eyes were wide, scanning the clearing as if she could somehow find them again. “I saw it, Aura. I swear, one blink and they were gone. No sound, no trace. Just—gone.”I swallowed hard, glancing toward Jade, who stood at the far edge of the clearing like a statue, his eyes sharp and unreadable.“They must have sensed us,” I whispered quickly to Alice, keeping my voice low, “that’s why they called Jade over. To keep us at bay.”Alice shook her head slowly, but there was something calculating in her gaze. “Or… maybe this is how they do it. Maybe this is how they go unnoticed all the time. They use Jade as a decoy, so no one, especially the soldiers—thinks anything strange is happening. Everyone would just

  • Claimed by My Bully Alpha   Chapter 409: Following Them

    Aurora’s P.O.VIt was eerily quiet in the woods, the kind of silence that felt like it was waiting to pounce at any moment. The air was damp, heavy with the scent of pine and earth, and the crunch of leaves under our boots seemed much louder than it should’ve been. I glanced at my watch—one forty-five AM, exactly when we had planned to slip out. Alice was walking close beside me, her breath clouding in the cool air, her voice low when she whispered.“Are you sure no one saw you leave? Caleb can be… ridiculously observant when he wants to be.”I gave her a quick look, pulling my jacket tighter around me. “Relax, I was careful. I waited until the guards rotated. Caleb didn’t see me, nobody did. Trust me, if he had, he’d already be blowing up my phone with questions.”She still looked uneasy, her gaze darting back toward the faint glow of the pack house in the distance.We stopped near the thick cluster of trees where the shadows seemed deeper, darker. My stomach tightened, and I leaned

  • Claimed by My Bully Alpha   Chapter 407: One Element Left

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe night was quieter than usual. The stars hung above the treetops like scattered lanterns, their soft glow casting long shadows across the damp forest floor as Caleb and I made our way to the old greenhouse at the edge of the estate. It had once been a place of life and bloom, but now it was Alice’s makeshift lab—dark, filled with the earthy smell of herbs and the sharp tang of metals and spell-bound runes. I could feel the tension buzzing in the air, thicker than the fog that was starting to crawl along the ground. My pulse quickened slightly as I opened the rusted door and saw Alice hunched over her workbench, candles flickering around her as she arranged vials and handwritten notes.“Are you sure this is safe?” Caleb asked, his voice low, a little hesitant, even though he was trying to sound confident.Alice didn’t look up at first. She was too focused, her gloved hands steady as she adjusted the angle of a large crystal orb to reflect moonlight directly into the b

  • Claimed by My Bully Alpha   Chapter 406: Temporarily Blinded

    Aurora’s P.O.VI stared at her, my heart pounding like a war drum in my chest. The taste of iron filled my mouth from how hard I was biting the inside of my cheek, trying to keep my voice steady. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard—what she had done. My hands trembled at my sides, balled into fists as I slowly stepped forward, eyes wide, searching her expression for any hint of regret, of guilt, of anything that made her feel human. Anything.“Alice…” My voice cracked. I hated that. I hated sounding so small, but I couldn’t help it. “Do you even have the slightest bit of remorse for what you just did? You hurt a child, for gods’ sake. How do you live with that?”She didn’t flinch. She didn’t even blink. Her gaze locked with mine like iron shackles, unmoving, cold, and terrifyingly calm. Her voice was low but clear—sharp as shattered glass.“That same child,” she said, “wouldn’t hesitate to plunge a dagger through my heart if the wraiths whispered in her ear to do it.”I felt some

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe door shut behind Jade with a low thud that seemed to echo longer than necessary, and then… silence. Ashton stood with his jaw clenched and hands slightly trembling at his sides, a mixture of guilt and anger in his eyes. I could see it — the way he wrestled with the weight of things he couldn’t control. I let the silence sit for a few seconds longer, because even though I wanted to break it, I also didn’t want to rush into the moment and startle him.“I don’t blame you,” I finally said, my voice low, careful. “What happened… it’s not your fault.”He looked at me, startled, maybe even a little relieved, but still struggling. “Aurora, I—” he started, but I raised a hand gently, stopping him.“It’s Jade. He’s the one who’s changing,” I said, pressing the truth between us like a blade laid bare on the table.“Lately, it almost feels like…” I paused, searching for the right word, something that wouldn’t give too much away without alerting Ashton. “It almost feels like he’
