Mag-log in(Aurora’s POV)
The mall was bustling with activity, bright lights reflecting off polished floors as Mia and I strolled from one store to another. Mia’s excitement was palpable as she darted between racks of clothing, holding up dresses, accessories, and shoes, while I trailed behind with a small smile, offering my opinions.
“What do you think about this
(Author’s POV)The lunch which was full of love, laughing, and happiness had finally come to an end. Gradually, they dispersed. Alexander excused himself with a content sigh, heading to his room for a well-deserved nap. Asher, still recovering from the long journey, followed soon after, muttering something about needing just “a few hours” of sleep.Ryan disappeared into his study, already preparing for an urgent video conference, and Owen, always precise, went to review some pending files in his study.But none of them left without pressing a soft, lingering kiss to Aurora’s lips, a silent promise, a quiet thank-you for her presence that brought warmth into their lives.Now, only Ian and Aurora remained in the spacious living room. She turne
(Author’s POV)Across the room, the rest of the Skylar brothers, Owen, Ryan, and Ian watched the scene unfold. At first, they stood quietly, smiles on their faces. But then… something shifted.Owen’s arms folded tighter across his chest, jaw flexing ever so slightly. Ryan’s gaze darkened, lips twitching at the corners while his fingers tapped silently against his bicep. And Ian, well he had the most dramatic reaction. His eyes widened, and he looked away, rubbing the back of his neck with a light flush creeping up his ears.“Damn,” Ian muttered under his breath.“He just came back and took all the spotlight”.“She didn’t even greet us with a kiss this morning&
(Author’s POV)Aurora was still feeling embarrassed and was laying on the bed, cringing into her pillow fort, when there was a soft knock at the door, followed by it creaking open just a bit.“Aurora?” Came Owen’s warm, teasing voice.“Please tell me I didn’t try to kiss the TV again…” She peered out from under the pillow just enough to groan. Owen chuckled, walking in with a tall glass in hand.“Only three times. The TV sends its regards, by the way”.“I can never show my face again” Aurora let out a dramatic whine and flopped back. He sat beside her and gently offered the glass.“Lem
(Author’s POV)Ian stirred awake, the golden morning light creeping in through the curtains, casting soft rays on the bed. His sleepy eyes blinked open slowly, and the first thing he saw was Aurora, tucked so perfectly against him, her face resting just beneath his chin, arms wrapped around him like he was her whole world. His arms instinctively tightened a little around her, reluctant to let go. A slow, wide smile bloomed on his face, eyes crinkling with warmth.It was rare, this feeling. Like the world had still. Like he already had everything he could ever ask for… right here in his arms.“You’re my everything” He whispered, almost to himself.After a few more minutes of quiet, content breathing, he carefully and slowly began to disentan
(Author’s POV)Aurora flopped dramatically onto the living room couch, still tipsy and basking in the afterglow of her chaotic group hug.“Okay. Now someone sing me a lullaby. Preferably Owen” She blinked up at the ceiling and mumbled.“I…what?!” Owen choked on air.“She’s on another level tonight” Ian burst out laughing and plopped down beside her.“This is what I get for letting her have wine. Once. Just once” Ryan rubbed a hand over his face, trying to hide the smirk tugging at his lips. Aurora turned to look at him, eyes wide and innocent.“I didn’t know it was wine. It taste
(Author’s POV)Owen and Ian exchanged amused glances as Aurora dramatically draped herself across the couch, her head still on Ian’s lap and her legs now stretched toward Owen. Her cheeks were flushed, her words slurred just enough to make everything she said extra adorable.“I’m telling you, you guys are too good looking. It's a problem. I have to mentally prepare myself before entering a room with you three” She muttered, poking Owen’s chest with a finger.Ryan returned from the kitchen with water and a plate of snacks, setting them down on the coffee table.“Eat, now. You’re starting to sound like one of your romance novels”.Aurora sat up, well, more like wobbled
(Ian’s POV)I leaned casually against my car, scrolling through my phone as I waited for Aurora. My mind drifted to our tense, quiet drives the past few days, and I sighed.
(Aurora’s POV)It's been about three weeks since I started college. As usual, the campus was buzzing with life as students moved between classes, laughing and chatting in groups. Mia and I found a quiet spot in th

(Aurora’s POV)I sat in my usual spot near the window. The classroom was buzzing with soft whispers and the occasional rustle of papers as students settled in. The teacher, a composed and authoritative woman, walked in with a clipboard in hand, immediately commanding attention.“Good morning, class
