Ethan I hurriedly left the hospital with a determined mind, I couldn't lose Aurora again and I was going to make sure of that. I would dedicate my time and attention to fixing every mistake I had made. I was going to catch up to Tiffany and apologize and make her see reasons with me.Hopefully, she hasn't spoken to my mother yet. I could still stop her.I got to the house and went straight to my parent's wing. Just by the hallway, I could see Tiffany talking to my mother already, and I hurried to join them.Shit! I was too late.The duo had a serious gloomy face on and as I stepped into the room, their conversation ceased and Tiffany just walked out without looking at me. I was confused as to what was going on seeing Tiffany walk out like that. I turned to look at my mother, she didn't look angry like I expected her to be, instead she looked sad. “Mum, Tiffany, she…” I began to say but she cut me off.“She’s such a sweet girl, isn't she? She would have been perfect to be your wife,
Ethan“So you're telling me you and Aurora are now together, that Tiffany knows about it and that she even called off the wedding herself just to help you guys?” Sam summed up my narration of what has been happening for the past few days.“Yup” I answered with a nod. We were in my office talking because I didn't want anyone eavesdropping on our conversation. I had just finished explaining everything that he was not privy to, he was my closest aide and I trusted him not to leak it out.“Wow, how did all this slip past me?” Sam asked in surprise.“You were preoccupied with your mate and I didn't want to disturb you but now you know so we are done here.” I rapped my fingers on my knees before standing up from my seat, ready to leave.“Why are you in a rush, where are you going?” With the way Sam's brows were raised, I knew he was fishing for more.“I am going to see Aurora of course, to tell her the good news that the wedding is off.” My lips were hurting from how hard I was pursuing t
Keenan.Rage surged through my body as I made my way up the front stairs and into the house. I made sure to bang the door shut but the 'bang' didn't do anything to justify the anger I was feeling. I was mad. The bitter feeling in my throat was so strong I could taste it.I walked up to my room and slumped on the bed fisting, unfisting, clenching and unclenching my jaw to stop myself from doing anything rash but the exercise was doing nothing to keep my anger down. "Babe," Isadora drawled, slowly rising from where she was sitting and reading a book. "Remember the lessons. Breathe in and out, gently and slowly.""Don't Isadora," I stood up and started pacing. "Don't you dare tell me to call down because I have every right to be angry. To be mad even." I stopped pacing and faced her, " that stupid bitch that called herself Aurora thinks she can come back after ten years, ten whole years and spoil everything I have worked for.Isadora dropped the book she was reading on the hair and inc
Isadora.The clanking of cutlery against plates and light chatter filled the air but the random conversations didn't do anything to take my mind away from what was bugging me.Aurora.She occupied the forefront, back and center of my mind. Besides when I confronted her in the hospital a few months ago, it was my first time seeing her and seeing her there sitting all glorious and mighty smiling and smirking like she was a god, twisted the knife of hate already plunged in my stomach.Cutting a small piece of my chicken, I tucked it in my mouth before turning to Ethan;“So Alpha Ethan,” I said loud enough that the chatter died down and all attention turned to me. “Have you finally fixed a date for the wedding? Come on, we all know you proposed to Tiffany.” I turned to Aurora to see a flush of embarrassment on her nose and ears. My heart swelled with joy, the night was starting to go as I wanted.“Uhm,” Ethan cleared his throat as all attention turned to him, “there would be no wedding ac
Ethan.I chased Ethan down the hall. I noticed the shift in her mood when Isadora and Keenan joined us but she had played it down and kept a brave face until Isadora spoke to her.“Aurora! Aurora wait up.” I caught up with her and grabbed her wrist causing her and Arne to stop abruptly. I looked down at Arne to see him already looking up at me. “Sorry kiddo, this would only take a minute.”Aurora sucked in a deep breath and turned to Arne, “Hurry up straight to the room, I'll be right behind you.” Arne nodded before running out of the hallway. “I have to be right behind my son.”“He is on royal grounds, nothing will happen to him.”“You are so sure about that.” She retorted and slipped her hands off my grip to cross it.I inched closer to her, my brows furrowing with concern. “Aurora, has anything happened to Arne before? With his Father maybe? I do understand that he is your son but you are overly protective of him especially whenever his father is mentioned.”“No!” She said firmly.
~Aurora.Standing on my ten toes, I carefully yet quickly scanned the hall in search of Ethan or rather, Alpha Ethan. It was his birthday and coronation today and the hall was already filled with distinguished men and women from our pack and beyond, but I hadn’t a sight of the celebrant, chuckling softly, I left the hall and made for his room.He told me the previous day that he was nervous about his coronation, about his kingship, and I tried as much as I could to assure him that everything would be fine. Ethan, my boyfriend, was a king and a leader and with me by his side as his wife and Luna, I had no doubt that he would lead our pack to success.I was heartbroken and in pain, since Ethan and I discovered, not too long ago, that I was not his mate, but my pains were quick to heal when Ethan proposed to me three days ago.‘I love you, Aurora, and I don’t care what the moon goddess says about you not being my mate because I choose you, Aurora. I want you by my side, always and foreve
~Aurora.It was already two weeks since my sister's and boyfriend's betrayal and another two weeks since I got confined into a corner of the palace maids' room to work as a personal maid to my sister, Isadora.I had formerly refused to serve her and ran back to our house, only to be greeted by strangers with news that my sister sold our house; Isadora sold the only place I called home. Having no other option, I hung my head between my shoulders and assumed my position as her personal maid, while being fully aware that I would be sharing the same space with Ethan.And Ethan? Isadora did all she could to rub him and his affection to my face, ever ready to invite me to their 'newly weds' private time, she was always inviting me to their room whenever Ethan was around in a disguise of wanting to have a conversation with her sister. The sister she was too quick to kill!I was no sister to Isadora, perhaps, a competition and a quest to conquer, but a sister? That was the least thing she saw
~Aurora.10 years later.“No, there wouldn't be need for extra medications, if you stick to what I have recommended, in no time, I promise you, you be just fine.” I flashed the man sitting across me a smile as he went through the list of drugs I just wrote him. “Just go down the hall to the right, hand the pharmacist there the paper, and every other thing will be sorted out for you.”He nodded again, “thank you, doctor, you are indeed a lifesaver.” I gave him my signature smile as he stood up and left the office.Adding his file to the list of cleared patients, I picked up the next patient's file, skimmed through it before ringing the bell to signal her in. She came in, greeted me and I responded with my signature smile just like I have been doing since the day began.If I had been told that in ten years, with the situation surrounding my runaway, that I would be sitting in a well conditioned office and across patients and counselling them, I wouldn't have dared to believe it.
