AuroraAll the elders were already gathered in front of the King's room when Ethan and I arrived. Without wasting a second, Ethan opened the door for me to walk in along with two representative elders and family members. With confidence in the cure, I went forward and began a checkup on Ethan's father as everywhere was dead silent, I knew everyone had their eyes pinned on me with bated breath.I checked his heart rate and vitals. I gasped as my eyes widened in surprise at what I found, it was almost unbelievable.“What is it, Aurora? What is the outcome?” Ethan asked, his eyes burning with curiosity. I turned to look at everyone present in the eyes and paused a bit for the news I was about to announce. “The cure- The cure, it...it works! It is effective!” I said our of surprise and my face broke out in a smile. I was aware the cure would work, I was certain but, I was still surprised it did. My months of research paid off.That was the only news they needed to hear as they broke ou
Aurora“There you go, we're all done here.” I said to Hadria as I placed a cotton wool on the area on her arm that I had just injected. She replaced my hold on the wool with her hand and smiled widely at me, “Thank you Aurora, thank you for saving the pack.” I smiled back at her. Hadria has always been a sweet girl. “You’re welcome, sweetheart.” She came down from the ward bed and walked out of the room. I sighed and looked at Ethan who was watching us from the corner of the room. “You are so amazing, you know that right?” he said with his face gleaming with pride, he began walking towards me, the way his eyes stared at me made my knees feel jelly.“Of course, I know.” I responded with a glowing face to the compliment. By now he had gotten within an inch of me, I unconsciously gulped because I knew what he had in mind. “My amazing Aurora,” he said in almost a whisper as his hands caressed my cheeks softly.As much as I liked what we were doing, I knew this wasn't the right time f
EthanI excused myself for Aurora and led Tiffany to an empty room in the hospital for us talk. Aurora may not know but I knew why she looked upset. The last time we met, we were in the middle of something and I just stood up and left with no explanation and I hadn't bothered reaching out since then. I admit I was an asshole for that, and I was going to be an even bigger asshole when I tell Tiffany that I wanted to call off the wedding.“Do you care to explain what happened the last time we met? I came to demand an explanation since you didn't see it right or necessary to come forward with one." Hurt, and anger laced her voice. "Tiffany," I called with a sigh, "I am so sorry for that. That was childish of me.""You don't get to do stuff and just say sorry, your Highness. What happened?” Her voice was little calmer than earlier but the hurt was still evident in it.I felt bad for what I was about to say, whether it was Aurora or Tiffany, whatever decision I make was going to hurt eit
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.
