They locked eyes with one another.Then Aurora put one hand on Westin’s shoulder and leaned in.She stole a quick peck on Westin’s lips and then backed away again.“There,” she grinned.Astonishment flickered across Westin’s eyes.He grabbed her wrist and chuckled, “You are cheating.”“Yes.” she bli
This was the first time that he ever told her about his background.Aurora was intrigued, “You have siblings?”“Yeah. One brother and one sister.”She wanted him to say more about himself. But he stopped right there.“Looks like one part was worn out.” he said. “I might need to change the part to fi
Aurora knew that she had nothing to hide.She was not Damien’s Luna anymore, nor his mate.Yet when he barged in here and saw her with Westin, her first instinct was still to cover Westin up.Because the look on Damien’s face was just…terrifying!His handsome face twisted in anger. His eyes burned w
“It is me. Damien.”Footsteps came to the door and then the door was opened a crack.Wendy peeked cautiously from the crack.“M—Master!” she gasped, looking afraid. “I was just coming up to tell the Queen about…about what happened downstairs.”Looked like that she saw Damien fighting Westin and got
Chloe tormented Aurora brutally that night.She called in two soldiers and had them hold Aurora tight as she lashed Aurora with a whip.Soon there was no good skin left on Aurora’s body for Chloe to land her whip on. The blood streamed down and painted the white carpet red.The pain was unbearable.
Aurora turned to look at her, “Why?”“Well, I figure that it will be less fun if I just lock you to my bedside and lash you like a dog. That is not very creative. With this sweet thing on your neck, you can move around, and I can trust you to behave. Everybody wins.”Chloe leaned back on the couch a
A sharp, prickling pain shot through Aurora’s body.This hurt even more than the lashings!Fingers were highly sensitive areas with all the nerve endings, and even more so for the nail part.Even a tiny paper cut could hurt for days, let alone shoving a bamboo splinter right under the nail!Cold swe
And her hands were soon rough and chapped in the soap water.Wendy would pace over from time to time and point out some invisible stains and dust.She would deliberately step on the part that Aurora had just cleaned a moment before, leaving some dusty footprints behind, so that Aurora had to redo th
“Funny. I see.”Aurora crossed her arms and directed a searching look upon Agnes.Agnes was still sobbing into her palms. But she was also peeking at Aurora’s reaction through her fingers.Aurora could tell that Agnes was on edge.She pondered for a few moments and raised her chin, “…Fine.”Clemente
Aurora looked at Agnes, frozen, her eyes wide with alarm.…What was Agnes doing here?!Had Agnes found out what she was up to already?“What was with that horrified face?” Agnes raised an eyebrow, “And what were you looking at?”Keavy’s medical record was still lying on the floor, at Aurora’s feet.
Aurora immediately looked at her, “You saw a similar symptom before?”“Yeah…I think so…But it probably isn’t poisoning related, or I would definitely remember…”Aurora didn’t want to let go of any possible leads.So she asked, “Are there any medical records? Can you look it up for me? Please, it is
Aurora stayed in the hospital and listened to the fireworks going on all night long.Cheers could be heard in the distance.Everyone in the Lycan’s Kingdom was happy, except for her.She could not stop wondering if Damien had seen those fireworks as well and if he would blame her for the decision th
Slowly, he opened his eyes.“My King!” the soldiers yelled in thrill. “Thank god…The Lycans—”“I know,” said Damien hoarsely.He got out of bed.He even lurched a little when his feet touched the ground.Panicked, the soldier offered his hand to Damien to help him restore his balance, but Damien had
Aurora was in so much pain right now, physically and emotionally.By recognizing their mate bond, she would forever tie herself to a man that she didn’t love and kill the possibility between her and Damien.Yet what options did she have left?Nothing.She closed her eyes and spoke up in a shaky voic
She knew that he was facing a lot of pressure from the elders, who were pressing him for an heir.The child in her belly was right here, ready to solve his crisis.It was a crazy idea…a desperate move.But it might work.“FUCK NO!” Westin growled, “Why would I want Damien’s kid? And why would I hand
Aurora’s eyes were slits of rage.“My child is not a bastard child!” she hissed.“It is a bastard in my kingdom!” Westin snarled, “I will not let you—my mate, MY QUEEN—give birth to that lowborn werewolf’s child—”“I didn’t even want to be your queen! If I had a choice, I didn’t even want you as my
He could hardly tell the child existed.Slowly, he moved his hand to her skinny neck.She was still unconscious at the moment. All it took was a hard snap and it would take both the lives of her and that bastard child!Yet…Westin took in a shaky breath and dropped his hand down.He couldn’t lose Au
