Chapter three

AURORA:

My head kept banging so hard that it made me realize whatever I had taken last night was so strong. I groaned aloud, trying to understand why the hell I was on the bed with a duvet around my body, then it occurred to me that I had acted so stupid last night. Praying deeply, I raised the duvet and saw myself naked underneath,

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What did you do, Aurora. Damn it, my phone, my phone, where the hell is my phone." I cocked my head towards every direction, but before I could stand up on my feet, the door burst open and I yelled out so loud before Heather stepped in.

"Fuck, you scared the living hell out of me, Heather."

"What the hell are you doing here?" Then, Heather's eyes scanned around the room to see my clothes on the floor, 

"Oh wow, goodness. You were having the best time of your life last night? So where's he? Where's the man who stole your freaking virginity?"

I rolled my eyes at Heather. Damn it, how could I have made such a huge mistake yesterday. All I knew was that it wasn't painful after all, and I had enjoyed every bit of the sex with this stranger I knew absolutely nothing about that had taken my virginity last night.

"Cut me the talks Heather,.how did you find me here?"

"Well, I got a call with your phone from a stranger and I was told to come pick you up here. His voice was cute though, and I could tell he didn't want you to be alone for too long."

I watched as her eyebrows danced while giving me a smirk, and I had to avoid her gaze. "Stop saying weird things. I had a lot to drink and I had no idea what happened. Something strange though, I think he's…" I suddenly paused and shook my head as I wasn't certain about what I had in mind. Maybe whatever I felt yesterday was as a result of the drunk or attraction towards him.

"Maybe it's nothing. It could probably have been a mistake. Could you pass my clothes so we could leave."

As Heather passed me my clothes, I collected it and wore them on. "I need to go meet Jackson and talk to him one last time, maybe he could change his mind, don't you think?"

"No." Heather's cold voice made my heart thump a little, "Why? You know best how much I love Jackson, and…"

"To burst your brains even more, the bastard's getting married today." I watched as Heather unlocked her phone and showed me the pics of Jackson's wedding announcement with that stupid blonde, and my heart broke even more. Jackson was willing to marry a girl he just met last night simply because she was his mate. A tear almost slid down my eyes, but Heather took the phone away. "This is no time for tears Aurora, it's time for you to move on and show that bastard how strong you are."

I wasn't listening to Heather as my mind was filled with everything I had done and sacrificed for that ungrateful bastard. I curled my hand and began to walk out of the room after picking up my bag and phone. If there was one thing I wasn't going to do, it was let this slide and let Jackson get away for breaking my heart into pieces. Call me stupid, but right now, my heart couldn't take the manner of pain that had struck it.

Heather ran after me, screaming my name from behind, but I ignored her and continued to walk till I got out of the bar. I stood by the road side, and heard Heather's voice,

"What the hell are you going to do, Aurora? Don't be stupid."

"That's what I'll be, stupid." I replied and stopped a cab. Before she could get to me, I shut the door and told the cab driver to leave.

Jackson had not even the slightest shame in the world. The sight of the hall disgusted me as people flooded in. Whatever her name was, she sure had a lot of rich people because I could see so many dignitaries flooding in. I scoffed and stepped out of the car, then handed the driver some dollar bills from my purse.

This was supposed to be me standing right next to Jackson. I stared at the large picture of Jackson and his mate hanging outside the hall, and I wanted so badly to just rip it apart into bits. Why the hell did he have to hurt me in this manner? 

My mind listed out all the things I could do in there, and so I decided to go for one. It would hurt me more, but I was ready to do it just to feel better. As I stepped into the room and some of Jackson's friends spotted me, I heard their murmurs,

"Did you forget she used to chase after the groom so badly even though he was never interested?"

"She's such a cheap bait."

"What a loser."

Don't tell me she's here to sabotage the wedding?"

The last statement got me cocking my head towards them, and I smirked.

"It's time to call up the representatives to the stage for their special wishes." I heard and immediately knew this was the right moment. As bold as I could ever be, I walked up to the stage, loving the surprised look on Jackson's face, and grabbed the mic from the speaker,

"Hello everyone, I'm here as the groom's ex." I started, but paused a little to see the expression on their faces,

"The groom and I have been together since we were 18, and I didn't finish my education because of him. I was stupid, dumb and naive. I worked so hard to support him in studying abroad while we were together for 5 years and in the end, he successfully threw me away like a piece of trash. Now, this is my advice to…"

Jackson suddenly grabbed me by the arm, and pulled me to face him, "What the fucking hell are you doing here, Aurora. I thought I paid you back for everything you have and did for me? Was 200 million dollars not enough for you? I'll give you more if you want, so get the hell out of here. How hard is it for you to understand that I don't love you anymore?" His voice was low enough for only me to hear,

"Can you give me back my youth?" I responded, staring deeply into his eyes, and letting my tears fall freely as I bit my lower lips.

"What the hell are you still waiting for, get this crazy nut head out of here Immediately!" The bride yelled, and in a few seconds, I felt two strong arms on my shoulders before Jackson let go of my arm,

"Make sure she's nowhere around this vicinity. I don't care if you have to hurt her to get her away from here." Jackson uttered to them in a low voice and I was being taken away. As I stood outside, I had no idea what else to do or what was running through my mind because it was so much. I loved him! I love him way too much to even think I would ever be able to let him go. Slowly, I hit my chest with my hand to calm my heart beat, and make my breathing normal, but nothing was working.

I knew it was finally time to leave the moon shadow pack after what I had done. Everyone here would see me as a desperate lady who only loved Jackson for everything that he had.

As I took just a step, I whimpered aloud, but suddenly heard my name,

"Ms Aurora?"

I raised my head to see a man coming towards me, and when he was standing a few meters away from me, I rubbed the tears on my face clean,

"Who are you?"

"I'm Derek Wiseborn and my boss would love to have a word with you. If you come w

ith me, I can promise your decision would change your life for the better."
