AuroraAfter the meeting with Tiffany, I was not in a good mood to speak to Ethan so I quietly back to work. He was at fault for whatever happened and I wanted him to reflect on what he did wrong and find a solution himself.“Well well well, Doctor Rory, you seem to have outdone yourself again. I knew you could find the cure to the plague, I never doubted you even for a minute” I heard the familiar voice of Reginald just by the extrance of the ward. The news of the cure travelled faster than I thought for Reginald to be here already. “Oh please Reginald, don't flatter me” I smiled and paused what I was doing before coming to greet him properly. We had a hearty hug and found a place to seat.“You know, the first time I saw you all those years ago, I saw your potential and I invested in it without delay, I feel so proud to see your progress” He said once all pleasantries were exchanged.I chuckled and replied appreciatively, “That’s why I'm forever indebted to you. You changed my life
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,
~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. Ten y
~Ethan.My perked up ears paid keen attention to the chatter and murmuring coming from the ground below me as the members of the high court and other elders trooped into the compound and into the courtroom. From my window I watched them coming in small groups of twos and threes, with some of them throwing angry glances towards the direction of the royal chambers.“Are you ready?” I shook my head at the familiar voice but, not in negation, rather in disapproval of his choice of word.“You sound as though they are people I should be scared of,” I replied, my eyes unmoving from the window.“You should. These people are furious at you, and they are searching for a reason to pounce on you, even the slightest misstep from you could cause a fight between you and them.” I chuckled lightly and turned to the voice behind me, the worry in his voice evident in his eyes, “then let’s not give them any reasons to.” Tapping his shoulder lightly, I turned back to the window, with a confirmation that
~Aurora.More letters from Sturgeon Moon pack came in within the consequent weeks and when I got tired of shredding them like I did to the first one, I began keeping them in my drawer to collect dust.Their request -asking me to come back to the pack - was absurd. I couldn't help but wonder if Ethan knew that it was me, the same Aurora he banished from his pack, or if my new identity as 'Rory' was keeping him in the dark. The name 'Rory', I knew, was a good disguise, but not good enough to erase the similarity of my original name. Did Ethan really not notice, or was he playing dumb?I was reaching into my drawer to take out the most recent letter when Arne ran into my room to throw himself on the bed.“Mommy's bed is not the playground, Arne,” I cautioned as I kept back the letter and closed the drawer, turning to face him.He chuckled, “Don't blame me, your bed is as bouncy as a bouncing bed. Here,” my face fell at the sight of the familiar seal, “Audrey said I should give it to you.
~Ethan.I dragged my eyes lazily between the two girls dancing before me. It was an eyesore, their presence, and actions, yet I kept my eyes fixed on them to remind myself that I wasn’t who they said I was. I was Ethan Balor, the Alpha king of Sturgeon Moon pack, the one who has imprinted fear and respect in the hearts of all other packs, the king who has elevated his pack to the second richest and most resourceful pack in the whole werewolf kingdom, I was Ethan, I wasn’t less of a man, right?Right?Adjusting myself on the couch, I signaled with my index finger to one of the girls, she was pale skinned with a dark long hair that dropped to her waist. With a wide grin, she cat-walked to me, her boobs bouncing in her loose bra.“At your service, my lord,” she whispered into my ear, slowly running her hands up and down my chest. Her fingers against my skin burned, like my body was being destroyed by some toxic chemical. I wanted to push her away and find my way back to the solace of my
