CHAPTER NINE. Aurora's POV. "Do you think we are okay, Aurora? Why are they here?" Mia asks worriedly."I have no idea, Mia. Let's just wait and hear what they have to say.” I swallow dryly as I keep looking ahead with an uncomfortable look plastered on my face.“Is something wrong, Aurora?” Arthur asks as he gives me a gentle tap on my shoulder. “You look scared.” I quickly shrug off his hand and focus ahead."I'm fine, Arthur, nothing to worry about.” I say within my teeth, hoping he hears."Miss Aurora Fay Mason, you have a punishment regarding your previous offense yesterday. You'll have to do community service on the school field.”A gasp escapes my lips as I stare at the school authorities, standing in front of the class. How can they do this to me? Wasn't the punishment of yesterday enough for them?What did they want from me this time? After locking me up in that God forsaken dungeon, naked and with no food. Now, they want me to work.Why even call it community servi
CHAPTER TEN.Carter's POV. "I'll see you back at the pack house. I need to get to class now.” I tell Chloe, once we are done with what we were doing. The girl seems to be addicted to sex and I have please her where and when ever she wants.I pull my pants up and I watch her do the same. "Not even a kiss?" She asks, giving me puppy eyes and pouting lips.She knows I will do just anything for her, when she puts on that attitude. With my pants well secured around my waist, I wrap my hands around her waist and pull her closer to me. We are so close that our chests are touching. I gently hold her chin with my hand and bring her face closer to mine. When our lips are just a few inches apart from each other’s I smash mine against hers and we share a deep and passionate kiss. By the time we break the kiss, we are both panting like we just returned from a race.I watch her smile as she touches her now plump lips. Her big brown eyes are glittering like she just received a precious gift.
CHAPTER ELEVENAurora's POV. I'm currently in my bedroom, trying to prepare myself for the Royal Banquet at the pack house. I told my mother about it and she was not pleased because of what happened to my father. He was set up and killed by the Alpha himself. He was accused of planning to dethrone Alpha Logan, but I know my father would never do a thing like that.He was nothing but loyal to the Alpha when he served as an Omega and such an abominable thing would never cross his mind. I have a hunch that someone was behind it all.I just had no choice but to make my mother reason with me. This service is going to enable me to earn more money and I will be able to help my mother pay some bills even though there are not many bills at the outskirts of the pack because we have the bare minimum.That is my only reason for going to that Banquet. I hate everyone at the city center and at the Castle, including that proud and arrogant Alpha Carter. My blood boils every time I think abo
CHAPTER TWELVE Aurora's POV. The drive from the outskirts of the pack where I live with my mother to the main pack, takes us about one hour and we arrive safely and on time.I turn to look at my mother who is driving, with a worried look on her face. I purse my lips together because I know just what she was worried about. I let out a heavy sigh as I stretched my hand and gently patted her shoulder. I would love to hold her hands and kiss them, but that’s impossible right now because she is driving.She doesn’t say anything, instead, she focuses on parking in the driveway.Mum, everything is going to be alright.” I assure her once the car engine stops.“I know honey, I know.”"Good. So let's go.” We both step out of the car and I’m totally awed by everything I’m seeing. The entire place is beaming with lights. It’s indeed a grand party.As we walk into the ballroom, I’m not surprised by the constant glares we are getting from the other pack members. They did not seem to like the f
CHAPTER THIRTEEN Aurora's POV. I have served about three tables and now I’m heading out to hand serve the fourth. I’m going to have a short break after I’m done serving the fourth table before I continue. I carry the silver tray in my hand and head outside. Eva is still giving me her cold attitude and I couldn’t care less. I’m here to do my job and earn money and not to be bothered about if my presence plaques her or not. She could die of discomfort for all I care.The silver tray in my hand has three glasses of red wine on it and just like I’ve been doing earlier, I’m holding it firmly and carefully. The last thing I want to do is spill the drink on someone and ruin his or her dress. That’s going to be a catastrophe and it won’t end well for me, given my present “daughter of a traitor” status. "Are you doing fine, Aurora?" My mother's mind link comes through as I get closer to the table I am going to serve."I'm doing just fine, mother. Hope you're okay too.” I smile as I
CHAPTER FOURTEEN Carter's POV. The Royal Banquet is usually a ceremony held once every year to celebrate the successes of the pack. Our victories over the enemies and other small events. Today is the day set aside for the ceremony. A day for the pack members to enjoy themselves. Some even go as far in finding their mates which is obviously a part of the werewolf community rituals.Right now I’m standing before my mirror in my closet, trying to get myself ready for the party. If I hadn’t scared off all my designers, I would be facing all these problems right now.I tuck in my black long sleeved shirt into my trousers and let the first two buttons loose. Both sleeves are rolled up to my elbow. I always like them that way. The waistband of the pants has a belt around it. Personally, I don't like putting on belts, but my mum always made me wear them and now I wear them even though she's not with us anymore. I don't want her getting mad at me wherever she is.I miss her very much. She
CHAPTER FIFTEEN Aurora's POV. I feel like telling him what’s in my mind, but on a second thought, I hold myself back.I’m already in more trouble and it’ll be wise for me not to cause any more problems here. So, I quietly bow my head down and contemplate for a while before raising my head up to answer him. "My name is Aurora and. .." I start to reply but my mother rudely cuts me off. "She is my daughter and also the daughter of the innocent omega you brutally killed. So tell me, are you going to kill her too? If yes, then kill me along with her and make sure to kill me first." My mother blasts and immediately, the entire place is filled with gasps and whispers from the onlookers.Even the Aloha and his son look terrified. This is the end for me. How I wish the ground would open up and swallow me right now so I can escape all this.Does mother realize we are standing in front of the Alpha, who with just a word, we'll both be put to death?What crazy plan of hers is this?The Alp
CHAPTER SIXTEEN Carter's POV. My father couldn't get any of the signals I was sending to him. What the hell is he trying to do? Pronounce her as my mate? For what reason? It’s true I don't know if that’s what’s running in his mind, but seeing him in such a happy state with a wide grin on his face makes me uneasy.Something of that sort is definitely going to happen.My father is quite unpredictable. However, I stay still in my position next to him with my fingers balled up in a fist and my heart thumping hard in my chest, waiting for him to say whatever he wants to say."Listen up, everyone."He calls out, raising his wine glass up in the air. I look into the crowd trying as much as possible, to take my mind off the situation to no avail.My eyes meet with Chloe. She had no clue what was going on. I hadn’t even told her about Aurora and I had no plans to do so. She had arms crises over her chest, with one leg tapping violently on the floor. She is still upset about the fact my fa
