LOGINAurora I barely slept after that night.Every time my eyes closed I felt his hands again—the slow path of his fingers down my spine, the way he had tilted my chin, the quiet order to stay still. I would jolt awake with my heart slamming against my ribs, sheets twisted around my legs, the taste of blood still faint where I had bitten my cheek. By the time the gray light of morning pushed through the curtains my head throbbed and my eyes felt swollen and gritty.I still got up. Mother never asked how much rest I managed. She only cared that the work got done.The chores were the same as always, only heavier somehow. I scrubbed the kitchen floors until my knees burned through the thin fabric of my dress. I washed dishes in water that started hot and ended cold, the skin on my hands turning red and tight. I carried basket after basket of laundry from the upper floors down to the wash rooms and back again, arms aching by the third trip. The omegas still whispered when they thought I was
AuroraI locked the door the second I was inside and leaned my full weight against it, still clutching the nightgown to my chest like it might shield me from what had already happened. My legs gave out. I slid down the wood until I was sitting on the cold floorboards, knees drawn up, the fabric bunched under my chin.The tears came without warning this time. Hard, silent ones that soaked into the thin material before I could stop them. I pressed the nightgown harder against my face so no one walking the corridor would hear. The house had ears everywhere.What have I done?I had agreed. Out loud. I had told him I would do whatever he commanded. And he had already tested that promise, right there in the hallway outside my door, with his hands and his voice and those mismatched eyes that never seemed to blink when they looked at me.My skin still prickled where his fingers had brushed. That was the part I hated most. The way my body had answered him even while my mind screamed to run. I
5.AuroraI tossed and turned about on my bed as the event of the day replayed in my mind.I shivered at the way Titan had flung the man off me like he weighed nothing more than paper. The man had lost consciousness instantly. Titan had held my hand and took me out of the place. I sighed as I remembered how I had shamelessly got aroused for him again just from holding hands.Whether he noticed or not, he didn't say anything to me.When I asked him what he was doing at the hotel, he had just looked at me like I was asking the wrong question, so I kept mute.Mother was in the living room when we returned. When she saw me, she knew that there was no way I would have returned that quickly if the man had succeeded in his motives. However, she didn't say anything. Probably because she saw me with Titan.And of course, I tried to please my saviour for the rest of the day. I took water to him, prepared food for him, and was on standby just in case he needed me. He hasn't said anything to me y
4.AuroraThe place Mother wanted me to follow her to happen to be a hotel at the downside of town. The place was so remote that even if someone was being murdered brutally, no one would know about it.The hair on my body rose, and I felt this urge to turn back and race off."Come on, hurry up now!" Mother yelled at me.I saw that I was a lot behind her and struggled to meet up with her. I didn't know what she planned but I could tell that whatever it was, it couldn't be good.We got to the reception of the hotel. Mother went straight to the receptionist and muttered something to the young lady who seemed to be around the same age as me. Her eyes flickered to me, and I saw something like a pity reflected in them.My fear increased, and I began to step back, ready to bolt. Mother must have gotten whatever kind of information she needed from the lady because she turned back to me. Her eyes pinned me with a hard stare, stopping me in my tracks, and she motioned for me to follow her. I li
3.AuroraFor days after that, I did my best to make sure I steered cleared off the paths of the three brothers. For all it was worth, I could tell that they were doing the same with me.As usual, Mother made sure I worked until I almost dropped dead even in the new house. And of course, I made sure I stayed away from everybody, including the servants.It wasn't until long before they began to call me the cold queen even in the pack.That didn't bother me anyway. What was more important to me was staying out of trouble.I swiped over the surface I was cleaning once again. The place sparkled, and I smiled to myself for a job well done. I got up from my crouching position and stretched, only to see the three brothers all staring at me like hawks. I staggered backward a little from how hot the intensity of their gazes were.A small part of me told me that Titan must have told his brothers about our little encounter, and they must be here to see how true it was.My fears compounded when I
2.Aurora.Thankfully, I managed to overcome yesterday's ordeal without getting on the wrong side of my mother. Now, we were on our way to the camp of the werewolves.I couldn't understand why my mother, a human, had decided to marry a supernatural man this time.Imagine my shock when I got to know that the werewolves that were supposed to exist only in fairytale truly exist? I couldn't help but think if demons, witches and wizards, dragons, and every other supposed fairytale beasts were, in fact, not just fairy-tale.I took my mind off it as I saw Alpha Townsend, the man my mother was marrying, walked into the large hall where the wedding and vow exchange was going to be taking place.Beside him were three men who looked identical yet different in their eyecolors and body builds.The first one was very handsome with his thick, silky black hair and deep blue eyes and broad shoulders. His eyes looked very cold as he regarded everyone in the room. Even I shivered from the intensity of t
