Aurora

I keep my eyes closed, not because I’m afraid, but because seeing the room would make it all too real. This room is set up for me. The wall are lined with soft candlelight and scented smoke fills my lungs.

The bed beneath me has been dressed in ivory silk as if the beauty of the room can soften what's about to happen.

I can feel the oil on my skin, still warm where the elder priestess brushed it along my thighs, across my chest, then down my arms. They told me to lie still, to open myself to the ritual, and to make myself ready in both mind and body.

This is tradition, it's the first step before the claiming and marriage, and so, I obeyed.

My hand moves slowly between my legs, my fingers slick with heat and trembling slightly. I’m supposed to think of Caelan and I’m meant to imagine the weight of him over me, the way he’ll touch and bite and mark me as his.

The issue is, no matter how hard I try to summon his face, it doesn’t come, and all I see is someone else, Killian. The sh

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Sixty

    Killian POVI don’t sleep much. I can’t. Aurora lies curled against me, her breathing steady, her warmth seeping into me, and all I can do is stare at the ceiling, my mind turning over every possible plan.She’s pregnant, and while I can lie and claim it was a deal gone too far with a human client, the truth gnaws at me. It feels wrong, vile even, to cover her life in another deception. But the reality is worse. If anyone knew what she really was, what she really carried inside her, she’d be slaughtered before I had a chance to draw my sword.So I think, and I keep thinking until the dawn light seeps through the window.There’s only one clear step forward. That's to end my marriage with Rosa. The bond is already unraveling. I can feel it, the threads thinning until only a faint tether remains. If I don’t cut it now, Rosa will use it to drag Aurora down with her, and if she leaves this pack and takes Aurora with her, I’ll lose any chance of keeping her safe.When the sun finally breaks

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Fifty-Nine

    Aurora POVKing? Surely that has to be some kind of sick joke. Me, the daughter of a king? My mother the mate of one? It doesn’t make sense. It can’t be true. I’m not special, I’m not important, and I’m definitely not royalty.I don’t look like it. I don’t sound like it. I don’t deserve it.Neither of us moves. Not that we could. His knot still binds us together, holding me in place while the weight of what I just heard crushes me.How could it be right? I’ve spent my whole life treated like a servant, like less than dirt under their shoes. A part of me wants to believe things might’ve been different if people had known who my father was. But the way he spoke, the fury in his voice, it wasn’t pride. It was fear. If people knew, I wouldn’t be saved. I’d be hunted.I listen to my mother’s footsteps fade down the hall before lifting my gaze to Killian. His face is shadowed, hard to read, but the bond between us pulses with tension.“Can you not feel her?” I ask, my voice low, almost afra

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Fifty-Eight

    Killian POVNo one should come here. This side room off the living room is nothing more than storage for suitcases and old furniture. Whoever’s walking toward the living room doesn’t matter. I don’t care.I’ve held myself back too long, pushing Aurora over the edge while denying myself. My body’s on fire, my knot straining, and I can’t let her go without giving it to her. We both need it.My hand stays clamped over her mouth as my hips slam into hers, the slap of skin on skin echoing too loud in the narrow space. A groan slips from me anyway. I want her screaming, begging, shaking apart, but I know how reckless that would be.So instead, I grind deeper, dragging my cock slow and heavy inside her, holding myself there. She claws at me, her muffled whimpers heating my blood. Gods, I could stay buried in her like this forever, gri

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Fifty-Seven

    Aurora POVMy body’s trembling with exhaustion, every nerve oversensitive from everything he’s already dragged out of me, but he isn’t slowing down. If anything, the hunger in his eyes burns hotter, as if the more he takes, the more he needs.“You know what’s ironic,” he murmurs against me, his voice low and rough. “She thinks you’re here to serve my pack. She doesn’t realize you were a gift to me from the Veilmother.”His tongue sweeps slowly up my center, deliberate and claiming, and his words settle deep inside me like a brand. “And I plan to worship every inch until you forget she ever believed she had a claim over you first.”A cry tears from my lips, my head falling back as pleasure rolls through me again. Before I can catch my breath, his arms are under me, lifting me as if I weigh nothing. The next moment he’s clearing the side unit with one swee

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Fifty-Six

    Killian POVMaybe I should’ve told her. Maybe I should’ve explained why I was teasing her, why I wouldn’t let her fall over the edge. I thought she understood I was doing it to make her look wrecked for Rosa’s sake, to make it seem like I’d punished her the way her mother wanted. But she didn’t. She honestly thought I’d used her body, taken my pleasure, and left her with nothing.I could never do that to her. Even if I tried, I wouldn’t be able to. I felt it burning through her, the bond pulling her to the brink, her body trembling with need. I knew exactly what she wanted, and denying her wasn’t because she didn’t deserve it, it was because I needed her to look broken, not from pain, but from desire.After leaving Rosa, I went straight to Aurora’s room, but she wasn’t there. The window was wide open, the bed untouched, and the scent of her still fresh. My chest tightened as panic gripped me. For a moment, I almost called the betas to search, but I stopped myself. If I told them she’d

  • Forbidden Mated To My Mother's Husband   Fifty-Five

    Aurora POVHe really did it. He teased me over and over, pushed me right to the edge, then took his own pleasure and left me like this. Like I was nothing more than an object for him to use.I wash quickly, trying to scrub away the feeling, but it doesn’t change much. When I dress, the reflection staring back at me still looks awful. My eye is darker now, an ugly blue blooming across the skin. My lip is swollen, and my eyes are bloodshot, making it look like I’ve been crying for days.I walk out, heading for the lounge, bracing myself for the familiar sting of my mother’s hate. As soon as I step in, she looks up. The smile that curves her lips isn’t warm, it’s the kind of smile that says she’s enjoying every second of seeing me broken and ruined.“We need to discuss things as a family. Sit, Aurora.” Killian points to the seat across from him, and I move to it without a word.“Cain is more family than Aurora,” my mother says sharply.“What did I just say?” Killian’s roar cuts through t
