CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR.Carter's POV. Our father looked at us suspiciously as he made his way inside the kitchen. "Good morning, father.” Declan greeted with a welcoming smile on his face which didn't really meet his eyes. "I asked a question.” He asked instead, ignoring Declan's greetings. I raked a hand through my hair in frustration. He was not going to drop the question unless I gave him an answer. Of all times, why did he have to show up just now? And what was he doing In the kitchen in the first place?"Ah, it's really nothing, father. We were just talking about a new movie Declan and I watched last night. It was beautiful, yet horrible, giving the amount of torture casted upon the female lead".I said in one go, faking a pleasing smile on my face. Well, I didn't watched any movie last night however, I guess someone did watched the movie and I believed that, it was not good on their side, giving the amount of torture they must have received, just watching it.I almost gave
CHAPTER THIRTY SIX. Aurora's POV. Thank goodness, last night finally came to an end. I couldn't just handle it.How could Carter do such a thing to me? If he wanted to have sex, why didn't he take his girlfriend to some other place?That was humiliating and degrading. Given the fact that, he made me stay and watch them have sex. I was literally on the edge of breaking down. I felt so hurt inside. I didn't know this was how bad it was going to be. How dark was his heart?I don't even know what to do anymore. Is my staying here really worth it? I feel lost at this moment. Is this how the mate thing works? Alpha Logan had pleaded with me the other day to take care of his son in the name of only the true love of one's mate who could bring them around. The question is, do I even like him? Not to talk of love. I didn't have any feelings for him. However, I was here trying my best to see if this was going to work. Rather, what he does is to make everything difficult for me.He makes me
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX. Aurora's POV.I turned around to look at him, but he was busy adjusting his clothes in the closet. "Were you talking to me?" I folded my hands across my chest as I waited for him to answer me. I watched him pause at what he was doing. He slowly spun around to face me, his face looking murderous as usual. You could never tell what is going on in that head of his."How can I talk to someone else, when it's just the two of us in this room?" He waved his hand, between the two of us and then continued. "Or are you just so stupid not to realize it?"A simple question I asked which required just a yes or no and now he was given me a paragraph as an answer. He was surely going to get over whatever thing that was eating him up."I was referring to you. Make sure to get something good to wear tomorrow. A white dress to be precise"He turned and continued with what he was doing in the closet.He was referring to me. I should make sure to get something good to wear tomorr
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVENAurora's POV. I was currently standing in front of the mirror, examining the white dress on my body which Carter had got for me. It was a short gone, reaching just above my knees. The right side of the gown was sleeveless while the left hand side was a long sleeved reaching right at my wrist. Diamond Pearl's adorned the chest line of the gown. He had handed me a white v necklace and a pair of earrings to match it.After he had warned me not to let anyone know about the kiss which I had said yes, he left the room and when out and spent almost all day, just returned with a blue nylon in his hand and threw the stuff down on me on the sofa where I was sitting, ordering me to change, which I was currently doing. He had taken his own clothes outside. Probably going to change in Declan's room or something. I let my long hair cascade down my back, to at least cover my exposed back. I wonder just what he was thinking , in getting me such a dress. It felt slutty on me an
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHTAurora's POV. The ride to wherever we were going was utterly silent. He had made me shot up and not to struggle with anymore, when he tried to strangle me. My neck was still hurting till this moment. I kept sending my hand each minute to my neck, to rub it because it fucking hurts.He was focused on his phone, busy chatting and laughing with...I think with Chloe, because that's the person that can make him laugh like that. His one hand was on the staring, while the other was on his phone. He rarely looks at the road. Even Though, not too many vehicles were seen on the road. Kind of deserted somehow."Could you please focus on the road?" I managed to say as my hand went around my neck for the hundredth time since the ride.If he wanted to kill me, he shouldn’t do it by road accident. I hated them.He didn't reply to me, but rather focused his attention on his phone. I rested my head behind my chair and let him do whatever he wanted to do.However, I couldn't con
CHAPTER THIRTY NINEAurora's POV. I didn't know how much I had spent on the floor or wherever I was until a soft gust of wind hit my body and a hand tapped my shoulder.I struggled to open my eyes, but the pain I felt around my eyes made me close them and I instead tried to use my hands to lift my weight up the floor. I placed my fingers firmly on the floor in order to support me, still, the pain shot through my hands and I threw myself back on to the floor. My body hurt. It was as if I was severely beaten with heavy logs of wood. My nasal tract was hurting as a result of the wine that was thrown on my face , some which ran down my nostrils.'Mia'. I called out , trying to ask for help. Why didn't she help me, when Carter and his party organizers, subjected me to this kind of humiliation and torture? Why didn't she come forted and fight for us?.'Why didn't she help me? Why didn't she help us fight?' My eyes burnt with tears while I tried to talk to her, but she was not saying a
FORTY ONE Carter's POV. "You two had better shut up and leave my presence this minute.” I yelled as I got myself up from Chloe. I know that was not Aurora's voice. It was her wolf. They must have been pushed to the edge which is exactly what I wanted. I wanted them to leave me alone. Why couldn't they understand? Was this a must do?I had expected them to react at the sound of my voice or maybe leave, but they did not. Aurora stood next to the sofa with her hands balled in a fist. I could see her teeth gritting together. I needed to make this stop. I couldn't let this take another turn. My father could probably wake up at the noise.And from the look of things, Aurora and her wolf were not ready to back down.'You have to leave now. My father might get the noise and come over and trust me, this wouldn't be good if he does'I mind linked Chloe who in turn widened her eyes at me. 'Are you just going to throw me out like that?' She glared at me with her lips pressed together.
CHAPTER FORTY TWO Aurora's POV. It's been two weeks since the incident between Carter and I. He had left that night and came back all bruised up. I don't know where he usually went at night and came back the next morning with cuts all over his body.I tried helping out, but he kept pushing me away. I was hurt by what had happened. No matter how much he hated me, that was not enough reason for him to treat me like my life didn't matter at all.However, I decided to let all that go down the drain. I didn't want to dwell on that anymore. I just wanted him to see me differently and probably have a change of mind. But still, there was no Improvement. He was still headstrong and resented me and as always. I started giving him space. I didn't mingle with anything that had to do with him anymore. He did his own thing and I did mine. I guess it was better that way. I had spent some of the past days with my mother and more of them and the pack's hospital. I just wanted to keep my mind off
