Aurora

The room was utterly silent as she spoke, every staff member listening intently. “Averne has always been recognized for its Christmas celebrations,” Rina continued, her tone filled with pride.

“The atmosphere, the organization, and the hospitality always boost our economy every year, and that’s why we have always aimed to beat our records. The opening sets the tone for the entire season, and failure is not an option.”

As the discussion progressed, covering schedules, décor placement, photography deadlines, and coordination between departments, I tried to focus, nodding when necessary and taking mental notes. Still, my attention kept drifting to the door.

I kept waiting for Leon to walk in. I wanted to see him again.

Every time footsteps echoed in the hallway outside the room, my heart jumped slightly—only to sink again when the door did not open. He never appeared, and with each passing minute, the awareness of his absence settled heavier on my chest, even though I told myself

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    The Crash

    AuroraHearing him say that made my blood boil. There was no one I could think of who wanted me dead.I clenched my fists tightly. I didn’t think, and I didn’t plan as I lunged forward, throwing my body over the seat. I didn’t care about the partition or the danger and stretched forth my hand for the steering wheel, my fingers clawing at his hands."What are you doing? Let go!" the driver yelled, trying to shove me back with one arm while keeping the car on the road with the other."Stop the car!" I screamed, digging my nails into his skin. I yanked the wheel hard to the left."Are you crazy!" the driver shouted as the taxi fishtailed violently. He slammed on the brakes, but it was too late—we were carrying too much speed. The car spun in a dizzying circle, the scent of burning rubber filling the cabin."You are going to kill us both," the driver roared, struggling to regain control."Better dead than leaving my son with you!" I shrieked, giving the wheel one final, desperate pull.T

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    The Driver

    AuroraDecember 5, 2025My heart raced fast as the door of the taxi slammed shut, cutting off the festive music of the venue with a dull, heavy thud."The Royal Mansion. Please make it fast," I choked out, my voice sounding like it belonged to a stranger.The driver didn’t say a word; he only nodded and pulled away with a jerk that threw me against the worn leather seat. I didn’t care about the bruises. I didn’t care about what I had heard the King announce. What I was concerned about was my son and why that picture was sent to me.My hands were shaking so violently I nearly dropped my phone as I stared at the screen. The message was still there with the pictures of Miss Hart and Noel. Someone had been watching me ever since I arrived in Averne, and I couldn't help but wonder who it could be.I got another text, and it was attached to a photo of Miss Hart holding Noel in front of the Royal Mansion. Underneath it was a single sentence: He looks so peaceful when he’s sleeping. It would

    Leon We moved quickly toward a secluded corner where Rina was already waiting with her face etched with alarm, and in her hand was Aurora’s discarded camera.“What happened?” I demanded, abandoning all formality. “Why did she run? Did she say anything?”Rina swallowed hard. “She didn't say a word, Leon. Nothing. I tried to grab her, but she just ran past me. It was… it was blind panic.” Rina held up the camera. “She dropped this.”Elara stepped closer, staring at the camera. “Was this because of the announcement? Was the shock too much?”I ran a frustrated hand through my hair. The ache in the mate bond was proof enough that the announcement had hurt her, but the terror in her eyes before she ran was something else entirely. “It has to be the announcement,” I grated out. “This has happened because of the father. Why didn't he tell me? Why did he have to do it tonight? He's created this disaster!"“Calm down, Leon. Father didn't know you had a mate, and he must have announced it becau

    LeonDecember 5, 2025I watched her run.The movement was abrupt, frantic, and terrifyingly out of place. One moment, Aurora’s face was locked on mine wide with a horror, probably from the sudden engagement announcement my father hadn't informed me about. Next, she dropped her Camera and turned into a desperate run out of the venue.My heart didn't just beat; it convulsed in my chest, and Rhaziel, who had spent the last hours roaring in silent frustration, now went completely ballistic.“Stop this stupidity, Leon! Go! Follow her! She’s terrified!” I shot up from my velvet chair, the sharp scrape of the legs against the tiled floor loud enough to cut through the noise of my father’s speech. My entire focus was on the exit where she had disappeared.The agony was instantaneous, not just emotional, but physical. When our eyes had met, when she heard the word engaged, I had felt a tight knot in my chest. It felt like a low, brutal current of her own despair surging beneath my skin, matchi

    Aurora My job shifted immediately. I had to capture the formal social interaction, and quickly I detached the camera from the tripod, slinging it over my shoulder to move into a better position.I watched Leon being seated next to the woman in red. He settled into the plush velvet, still frowning, while the woman sat beside him, immediately speaking to him, her hand resting delicately near his arm on the tablecloth.I moved closer, weaving through the seated press and the royal security, my camera ready. I focused on the King and the Queen first, capturing their interaction with the cake as the Queen prepared to make her ceremonial cut.Click, click, click.Just as the ceremonial cake was served, a massive explosive cheer went up outside the venue. A sudden barrage of dazzling fireworks burst high above the Grand Avenue, painting the night sky in cascading trails of ruby, emerald, and gold. The sheer scale and brilliance of the display were overwhelming.The speakers immediately swit

    Aurora“Don’t panic, don’t break down here. They could be just friends, “ but I was on the verge of breaking.The memory of Sawyer, of walking into Elara’s apartment on Christmas Eve to find the man I loved cheating on me, surfaced with sickening clarity. That betrayal had broken me. It had left me crying into a cocktail and walking into Leon’s arms.I heaved a deep sigh as I lifted my camera, trying to convince myself that Leon was different from him. My hands were shaking so badly the viewfinder image blurred, but I fought the tremor, bracing my elbow against my side.Click.I forced my finger to press the shutter, ignoring the twisting pain in my stomach. The camera flash blinded me momentarily.Click, click.More nobles arrived, impeccably dressed foreign delegates, and even when I saw Rina and Tristan, who was Leon’s driver, walking down the carpet, I didn’t grow curious about them because all my focus remained on Leon.I took the required shots, my professional instinct surfacin
