CHAPTER 18
•••••Astraea's POV•••••
Aurora has started to come out of her shell.
I love spending time with her and Elizabeth seemed to have gotten closer to her.
It was a shock at first when I noticed that she stopped following Leonidas around and instead decided to spend more time with Aurora.
Even Leonidas noticed this change too but didn't question it as he's already quite busy.
I tried to talk to him several times but he didn't gave me any chance.
I wanted him to make some time for his mate.
I know Ares already likes her and wants to be with her but I don't get why Leonidas is fighting the mate bond it's not like he'll tell me if I asked.
The day before yesterday Zander told me that Leonidas will give few n
CHAPTER 19 •••••Aurora's POV••••• "Let's go," Astraea spoke and I took a deep breath before she hooked her arms with mine. (This is it.) I thought before we made our way towards the main part of the castle. After crossing a hallway we finally start climbing the stairs of the palace and soon entered into another hallway with huge doors open to reveal a dark corridor beautifully lit with different types of torches hanging on the side of the walls. I silently followed Astraea as she continued to pull me softly as she walked deeper into the palace. I felt air trespass through both sides of the wall making me shiver in cold slightly. As Astraea walked into the lightly lit corridor, I continued to follow and only our footsteps could be heard. It f
CHAPTER 20 •••••Auroras POV••••• It's none other than the king's room. What should I do now? Why did Astraea bring me here? I need to talk to her. I can't stay here. I hurriedly changed into black leggings and a baggy shirt paired with fluffy slippers. I made my way back towards the room and decided to wait for Astraea to talk to her. I looked around and decided to sit and wait for her in the sitting room. I closed the bedroom behind me sat on the couch and started to wait for Astraea to come. After few minutes when I got bored from sitting. My eyes landed on the bookshelf and I made my way towards it. I've always loved reading. Whenever I read I always forgot about my miseries and got lost in the wor
CHAPTER 21 •••••In the mountain••••• Leonidas sat down and felt his beast stirring impatiently inside his head. Tomorrow is the day of the full moon, the day when his beast and powers will be at strongest that can hurt everyone who comes in front of him no matter who it is. The king knew if he fought for control with his beast then this will only increase his beast's aggravation and he can hurt whoever comes in his way. So the king just sits back and let the beast take control over his body because it'll be useless to fight him as the beast is a part of him. Every full moon The King came to this cave of this forbidden Mountain behind his castle where no one dared to step in. Everyone seemed to believe that there lived a beast but what they didn't know that it was none o
CHAPTER 22 •••••In The Forest••••• •••••Third Person POV•••••Suddenly the wind picked its pace and Ares smelled the most addictive smell he ever smelled.It was the smell of fresh rain and earth making him growl softly before sniffing it once again and following it.It was so addictive that for a moment even Leonidas got lost in it but came out of his thought when he heard Ares growl." M A T E" Ares growled out as his eyes shined and turned his head towards the direction he smelled her from.Leonidas knew that it was Aurora out in the wild and started to fight Ares for control as he knew with his powers are on its peak and Ares can unknowingly hurt Aurora.
CHAPTER 23 •••••Aurora's POV••••• I don't get what just happened. I'm such an idiot. I should have run for the hills as soon as I saw but it felt like my body got stuck in the place. I couldn't even move physically even when my mind screamed for me to run for my life but I just couldn't. Maybe there's something wrong with me. And what was that? I called that Lycan beautiful?? Like seriously. What is wrong with me? Why am I the only one who always got stuck in this type of situation? Any person in the right mind wouldn't have done that. But for some reason, my heart knew that he wouldn't hurt me but why? Those familiar yellow glowing eyes were so enchanting that I forgot the situation I was in. I felt the spark of pleasure shoot through my spine like electricity a
CHAPTER 24••••Aurora's POV•••••After having breakfast with Astraea she invited me to come with her and help her in community services and I gladly agreed.It isn't like I have something to do anything except just sitting around and reading any random book I get from the bookshelf.We made our way downstairs and passed by few hallways with two muscular guards in armour following behind us.I looked around the hallway and noticed the familiar surroundings.The goosebumps on my body stood in attention as I realized that this is the very same hallway in which I was dragged like a prisoner on the very first day.My body started to tremble in fear.D...did I do so..something w..wrong?W...was t...this all a m..mere act?Why is she taking me there?Tears filled my eyes as my breathing sh
CHAPTER 25 •••••Third Person POV••••• Even though both Leonidas and Ares share the same body but still deep down Leonidas felt jealous. He didn't like the look in Auroras eyes and how she caressed him, looking at him in awe instead of being afraid of Ares. He was angry. He didn't talk to Ares throughout the day due to his teasing. He was not used to Ares talking this much before let alone teasing him but now he's nagging him all day long which annoyed him. Ares used to stay quietly in the back of his mind and only spoke or showed out when angered. But this was different. Leonidas sighed in relief when he felt the effect of the full moon fading away and decided to return back to the palace. It was almost midnight when he returned back to the palace. H
CHAPTER 26 •••••Aurora's POV••••• My mind was numb. My breathing started to come out ragged as I noticed his naked upper half. I fought the urge to run my fingers through his eight pack abs and his ripped muscles. His but curly and long midnight black hairs made me want to bury my fingers in it and run through it. It made me feel how will they feel in between my fingers? I snapped out of my thought when I saw him leaning down towards me with his eyes getting darker by the second. I stopped breathing as soon as his fresh minty breath tickled on my neck. If I moved a bit then our chest will be pressing against each other. I felt hotness and wetness on my neither reigns making me clench my both legs tightly. "A....As...Astraea t...told that I ca....can stay h...here" I stuttered as soon I
