Aurora

My heart started pounding wildly again, each beat echoing in my ears. A wave of déjà vu crashed over me, the same helplessness I’d felt too many times before. My chest tightened until it hurt, and suddenly, it was hard to breathe.

No. This had to be a mistake. It had to be.

“Aurora.” Orion’s voice broke through my spiraling thoughts. He reached for my wrist, and I flinched at his touch. “Are you sure it’s in here?”

I nodded quickly, my throat tight. “I’m sure. I had it with me.”

Panic began to claw its way up my spine as I tried to piece everything together. My mind ran through the morning, desperate for clarity. “I grabbed it from Theron, and then I walked off… I—I shoved it in my books. Among my books.”

My head felt heavy. I could barely think straight.

“Maybe you left it in your locker,” Orion said gently, trying to stay calm.

“My locker…” I whispered, eyes widening. Then I turned sharply toward the hallway. “Come on.”

We hurried down the corridor, my steps quick and uneven

  • Rejecting Fate: Lycan Prince’s Mate   28: First Mission

    AuroraAside from the regular Hunts meetings and training sessions, Orion made time to give me extra tips. He didn’t go easy on me either. The first two days left my body aching in places I didn’t even know existed. Every muscle screamed, and even breathing hurt, but Orion kept encouraging me, insisting the pain meant I was getting stronger.So, I pushed through.Each morning, long before anyone else was awake, I was already up stretching in the faint blue light of dawn. I started at the lodge’s small but surprisingly equipped gym, using whatever equipment was available, then jogged through the quiet paths. The air was always cold at that hour, sharp enough to sting my lungs, but it cleared my head.Gradually, the routines at the Hunts’ sessions started to feel… manageable. I wasn’t suddenly as strong or as swift as the others, but at least I wasn’t the weak link gasping at the back anymore.Orion somehow found ways to fit me into his already packed schedule. After team meetings,

    Aurora I was restless the whole night. Morning couldn't come soon enough and it finally did Classes went over in a breeze and dj all it was three p.m.The air was thick with anticipation as I made my way toward the Hunts ground, heart drumming steadily in my chest. “Welcome,” Commander Vale began, his deep, commanding voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “You’ll first be assessed to determine whether you can be indoctrinated. This is not a formality.”Ten of us stood in a perfect line, identical in pale gray tunics embroidered with the crest of the Twilight Hunts. Ten healers. Ten hopefuls.“You are ten,” Vale continued, pacing before us. “But believe me when I say, we don’t need many. And there’s a good chance that after your first mission, you’ll remove yourself from this team.” His gaze swept over us, sharp and unrelenting. “You’ll be divided into smaller groups. How well you adapt, how you function under pressure—that will determine whether you’ll remain as a perma

    THERON This woman was infuriating.Every damn inch of her.I was equally pissed at her, at myself, at the entire twisted situation. She had lied just to get through to me. Lied right to my face. And the worst part? I’d fallen for it.How did I not see through her sudden humility? She was stubborn and snappy. But the sudden switch she had today, how did I not see through it? Her downcast eyes and soft-spoken tone?It was all an act.How in the hell did I, of all people, not see it?Who did I even think I was? That was what she asked? Here I was trying to protect her? After everything? I clenched my jaw, forcing back a growl that threatened to escape.Why wouldn't she just listen!“You’re not the boss of me, and what I decide to do is not your concern,” she said, her voice sharp and unyielding.It is, I wanted to yell.It was. One hundred percent my concern.She was going to be right under my nose,within the Hunts, surrounded by people who could tear her apart in a blink if they se

    Aurora “So, Aurora,” the man began, flipping through the folder of recommendation papers in front of him. “With credentials like these, I have to ask, what do you think about the Hunts? Is this a place you see yourself fitting in? Do you want in?”The big question.The one Theron had drilled into my head not to answer like this. I drew in a deep breath, feeling his gaze dig into my back like a hot brand. My fingers trembled slightly, but I curled them into fists by my sides, forcing the nerves down.“Yes, sir,” I began, my voice coming out steadier than I felt. “I’m very excited. It’s a team I’ve admired for a long time, and I honestly cannot wait to join and contribute to the work.”My heart raced, but I pushed on. “I spent the last two nights studying about the history and formation of the Twilight Hunts Squad,” I added quickly. The man chuckled, clearly impressed. “Well, that’s a first,” he said, his expression softening. Pride fluttered weakly in my stomach. For a fleeting mo

  • Rejecting Fate: Lycan Prince’s Mate   Chapter 24: Lies

    Theron Aurora’s heart was pounding long before she reached the entrance of the Hunts division.Standing there overseeing the first stage of screening — was Theron.Her heart sank.Of all people.As Hunts Captain, he was responsible for verifying every recommendation before the candidates could proceed to the Head of Hunts. There was no way around him. No skipping, no exception.Aurora slowed her steps, clutching her freshly sealed recommendation letter tighter. Therons opinion of her was already well stated. She didn't fit in. He was not going to let her through. She could already tell.Bracing herself, she took a slow breath and approached.The moment Theron looked up and saw her, his expression faltered, his sharp green eyes widening in shock. For a second, he just stared, as if he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing.“You,” he muttered, his brows drawing together. Aurora’s grip on the letter tightened even more, her knuckles turning white. The memory of the first recommen

  • Rejecting Fate: Lycan Prince’s Mate   Chapter 23: Orion

    “Please!” Orion’s voice broke through. “We don’t have time for this, ma'am! Hunts acceptance ends today!” His composure was beginning to crack. “Her abilities have already proven exceptional. You know that. Someone must’ve taken that letter, to humiliate her or keep her out of the Hunts!”Aurora stood frozen, her chest tight. A single tear slipped down her cheek before she could stop it.Orion caught sight of it. His frustration deepened turning into something fiercer, protective. He took a step forward, his presence suddenly commanding as he loomed over Miss Violeta’s desk.“What I’m asking isn’t complicated,” he said, his tone low but firm. “Write her another recommendation. Right now. Signed and stamped by you. She won’t disappoint.”Miss Violeta studied the two of them for a long, tense moment. The young prince’s eyes burned with conviction, and Aurora’s quiet desperation spoke volumes. Why was the Crown Prince this concerned about a girl he barely knew? she wondered as she slow
