CHAPTER TWO
Aurora’S POVIt is forty five minutes into the last class before lunch break and everyone is already exhausted and famished. Worst of all, it is a Biology class and the teacher just keeps talking and I keep having this little war with the sleep in my eyes.My case is the worst because I skipped breakfast, and right now I’m so hungry that I can’t even think straight. The most pathetic thing is that I don’t even have up to five dollars on me to buy myself a good lunch, so during the break, I'll just have to get something very small and eat.My life is not an easy one.The moment the bell goes, the entire class gets rowdy and I quietly start packing my books in my bag.“Yo Aurora!” A familiar voice calls out as the person approaches me.“What now, Drake?” I ask in a bored tone as I carry my school back and look up at him.Drake is a tall blonde haired guy who has a reputation of terrorising the rich kids from the Royal section. He hates them and many teachers have tried to get rid of him, but he has proved to be a hard nut to crack.I like him, mostly for the fact that once in a while, he teaches those spoiled brats the lesson of their lives. He’s also very brilliant and I can bet that in the future, he will not serve in any high ranking official’s house, but he will be someone great.“Easy there tiger, just wanted to congratulate you for standing up for yourself earlier today. I was told you roasted that daughter of a pillock at the hallway” He says with a proud smile.“Well, what can I say? I learn from the very best”“Keep it up cupcake, keep it up” He encourages as he leans forted and places a gentle kiss on my forehead.“I will do just that’“That’s my girl” He turns to walk away, but halfway he stops in his tracks and looks back at me.“What?” I ask almost laughing and he creases his brow like he just remembered something that left him bewildered.“Does she really stink?” He suddenly asks and the entire class bursts into laughter, including me. I tiredly lower myself on my seat and laugh even harder when he walks out.Everyone on this side of the school has a whole vibe and I love them.My other mates adopt the conversation and in less than no time, the entire class is talking about what happened in the hallway. For some odd reason, I feel proud, because I didn't only defend myself, I defended everyone in this class and section of the school.My phone vibrates in my school bag and when I take it out, the notification reads that I’ve got a text from Arthur. I quickly unlock my phone to read the text and when I do, I heave a heavy sigh of frustration as I rise from my seat and exit the classroom.I head over to the school cafeteria and when I get in, I spit Arthur seated at a corner with two trays of food before him.He has bought me lunch, again, despite all the warnings I’ve been giving him. We are both struggling and I hate it when he spends his money on me.“Arthur thought I told you not to buy me lunch again” I reprimand in a firm tone as I sit across from him on the table.“There was no change, so I got two trays instead. I’d rather you eat my money than that rude ass cook” He explains carelessly and I just shake my head because I know he is lying. There was clearly the chance to give him, he just wanted to buy me lunch. “Come on Aurora, don’t tell me you’re gonna be mad at me, please, I promise it won’t happen next time”“This is the one millionth time you are telling me this!” I sneer between my teeth as my eyes turn yellow.“I mean it this time”“You are impossible” I say in defeat as I start eating the food. His stubbornness saves me from starving everyday.“I heard you are making the headlines” he speaks out and immediately,I understand what he is talking about.“That was nothing” I assure him.“Of course it was… you roasted a…”“Aurora Fay Mason!” An authoritative voice calls from the door of the cafeteria and when I turn to look, my heart falls into my abdomen when I see the son of the Beta, Ward and three other goons standing at the door with deadly looks on their faces. Soon, Penelope walks in and that’s when it all collects in my mind. She has brought her boyfriend and other goons to avenge what I did to her in the morning.The cafeteria falls in dead silence and I gulp dryly and watch in horror as the four fellows march towards Arthur and I with a very furious looking Penelope, leading the way.“This is the tramp who said those mean words to me” She reports with a shaky voice. She’s still terribly shaken by what I said to her in the morning.What a cry baby.Ward steps before her and looks down at me with pure hatred burning in his eyes and I make sure to maintain eye contact with him. To be honest, I’m terrified that he’s here and I know he’s going to mess me up, but I’m not going to let him do that without a fight!“I heard what you did to my girl” He enunciates with a menacing tone and I nod with a tiny smile.“You heard well”“You really have some nerve to talk back to me, daughter of an Omega, don’t you?”“I only talk to daughters who meddle in affairs that do not concern them. Your girlfriend is blabbermouth and needs to be put in her place once in a while.” I fire back and I can see the guy's eyes change from brown to yellow. He’s so angry that the wolf wants to take over him.“How dare you!” He sneers in anger and raises his hand to hit me, but Arthur holds the hand from behind as he rises from his seat to match up Ward’s height. The other goons step forward to attack Arthur, but Ward stops them with a hand show.“And who are you?” Ward questions Arthur but he does not say a word and that further enrages Ward to a point where he hits Arthur hard in the face.Arthur doesn’t hesitate to return the punch and when he does, Ward loses balance and falls to the ground as blood starts oozing from his nostrils. His friends fly over to Arthur and hold him still. Author tries to fight them off but they are just too strong for him. Ward on the other hand rises from the floor and starts punching Arthur in the face.“Stop!” I cry as I go over to Ward and push him away from Arthur. “Leave him alone, your fight is with me and not…” My words are cut off from my mouth by the feel of a heavy smack which sends me flying across the room to the other end of the cafeteria. Arthur lets out a loud howl as he struggles to break free from the guys to no avail.When I see Ward approaching me, I quickly rise on my feet and run out of the cafeteria into the school compound. Ward does not stop, he keeps chasing me around and I run all the way to the boundary and that’s when I notice that I’m stuck. The only way for me to escape from him is by running into the Royal section of the school to hide and without hesitation, I do so.Once I get into the gate, I rush into the toilet for males where I lock myself up in one of the toilet rooms and stay quiet.I’m just going to wait here for a few minutes for the dust to settle and when that happens, I’m going to go straight home. But for now, I hope no one finds me here, because if they do, then I’m finished completely.A few minutes pass by and I’m still in the toilet, waiting for the dust to settle. Soon, I hear footsteps approaching and the closer the person gets, the harder my heart beats in my chest.Whoever it is smells really nice.I want to open the door and see who it is that smells so nice and intoxicating at the same time, but I know better than to do so. I will be punished severely if I’m caught here.The captivating smell keeps ransacking my mind and I keep inhaling and begging my heart not to hop out of my chest. At this instant, I’m feeling things I have never felt before and I’m scared to the core. What exactly is going on?“How long do you intend to stay there?” A deep masculine voice asks from outside and my heart falls into my abdomen.Fear spikes up in my heart and ears start itching. Beads of sweat fall down my cheeks and my palms suddenly get all sweaty and my breaths are short and shallow.“Come out now, will you?” The person demands and I start walking towards the door. It appears to be a student. Maybe he will have mercy on me when I explain what happened.I stop and take one last deep breath of the chocolate and vanilla smell mixed with sweet manly clone before opening the door,When I do, my gaze is on the floor and I start looking at the guy from his shoes.I'm awed by the pair of black Bolvaint shoes that sit below the pair of well ironed black trousers he has on. The lines of his trousers are perfectly straight and the edges are as sharp as a blade. My eyes trail from his shoes up to his trousers and I smile when I see the Gucci Marmont leather belt holding it in place. The white long sleeved shirt he has on is as white as an angel's wing and perfectly ironed too.Now, for the final reveal, to see the face of this young man who is not only rich, but has got a taste in fashion, I lift my head up to look and my breath hitches when I see who the person is.It’s Alpha Carter Bruce Logan, son of our current Alpha, Alpha Logan Bruce.I take a step backwards in shock with my gaze locked in his. The sweet smell of melting chocolate and vanilla fills my nostrils once more and my heart starts palpating. Alpha Carter and I stand there, looking at each other for over two minutes and he suddenly inches closer to me. When we are just a few inches away from each other, he stretches his hand forward , holds a few strands of my hair and sniffs it like his life depends on it.“Mate!” He whispers and all my senses fly out of my brain when Mia confirms to me that he is our mate.CHAPTER THREEAurora's POV“Mate” I repeated the word he had just uttered, almost in joy, but the look in my mate's eyes made me understand that not all is well and that there is absolutely nothing for me to be joyful about. I take a step backwards to escape his closeness that intimidates me, but to my greatest shock, he stalks closer to me and runs his hand through my long black hair. He grabs it tight and pushes me against the wall where I hit my back hard and a loud scream escapes my lips. Still holding my hair, he jerks my head up and forces me to look in his eyes. By this time, his almond shaped, sea rover-blued eyes are blazing with contempt and loathe.His imperious nose is flaring and his angular cheekbones are tight as a result of him gritting his teeth.Anger, disappointment, loathe, contempt and every other negative emotion is all I can see in his eyes.I whimper in pain as tears fall freely down my cheeks. He isn't only hurting me physically, but emotionally and psychol
CHAPTER FOUR. Aurora's POV "Please, let me go. I did nothing wrong, I was only trying to run away from…" I’m not done with what I am saying when the man who earlier said that I was going to be thrown in the dungeon cuts me off with the most terrifying voice I have ever heard in my entire life."Just shut up, you daughter of a low life. It should have occurred to you what would happen if you stepped those useless feet into the Royal section of the school. Your father was a traitor and that stripped him of all his rights as royalty.” He spat out furiously and his obliviousness on the matter intrigues me.When were they going to accept the truth? My father was not a traitor, he was set up and as of now, only the moon goddess who saw all, can attest to that. No one is going to believe me if I ever open my mouth to defend him again. That will only cause my mother and I more trouble than we already have.How I wish my wolf, Mia, will just take over me right now and snap their necks .“E
CHAPTER FIVE Aurora's POV I am seated at one end of the room, which is opposite the large iron door with my hands clutched around my knees and my head resting on them. Few locks of my hair fell down my face and I can tell it’s touching the floor, given how long they are.Sitting down here in pure sorrow and agony, my mind drifts back to the events of the past few hours. Thinking about Arthur makes my heart skip in fright and I lift my head up. I hope nothing bad has happened to him. I hope he is safe.I pray in the name of the moon goddess that the silly boyfriend of Chloe and his crew did not do anything bad to him, because I’m not going to forgive myself if that happens. I had dried up my tears, but with the pain I am feeling right now, they keep pouring down my cheeks.I shut my eyes tight, thinking of my mind linking Arthur, just to know how he is feeling, to know if everything is okay with him, instead, I can feel my mother's mind link pushing through. She is probably worrie
CHAPTER SIX Aurora's POV. I’m still locked up in this God forsaken cell and I have blocked Aurther from mind linking me because he is going to know everything, even without me telling him.The sound of the big ironing door opening snaps me out of my thoughts and I look ahead to see what’s going on. The orange lights which had been turned off all day suddenly come on and illuminate the room.At the door stands one of the guards from yesterday. He walks slowly towards me and throws some clothes in the air, causing them to fly and land a few meters before me on the ground. "Dressed up and leave". He orders with a stern voice.I was happy before leaving home yesterday, but now I I was a complete mess and the only thing I felt in my heart was anger and bitterness for everyone in the royal section.I don’t utter a word to him as I walk slowly to where he had thrown the clothes and pick them up, before returning back to my spot to I quickly put the clothes on. I looked down at my shirt in
CHAPTER SEVEN Aurora's POV “Arthur.” I call with a calm voice.He tousles his hair in annoyance, before walking into the room. I watch in silence as he goes over to my bed and sits on it. If he’s doing that, it means he’s not very mad at me and a simple apology will set things right between us."Ward and his gang. I couldn't fight them all. After you left, I tried to beat them up, but I was outnumbered and they dealt with me squarely. I had to sustain this.” He explains the last part, looking down at his sprained arm. "Oh, Arthur, I'm so sorry for making you go through this. It was all my fault to begin with. I hope you forgive me." I cry as I face-palm myself, letting a few drops of tears fall down my face.He drifts closer to me and uses his free hand to bring down my hand from my face. I let him hold them. "Nothing is your fault Aurora. You tried to defend yourself and I blame you for nothing.” He says in his usual calm tone and I can feel the sincerity in his voice. "Thank yo
CHAPTER EIGHTAurora's POV I open the pot and serve myself some noodles since mother seems to be asleep already.I find a spot in the kitchen and sit down to eat. Tomorrow is going to be another day of school and I'm certain it is not going to end well.Evenso, I'm going to give it hot to anyone who pushes my limits. When I’m done eating , I leave for my bedroom. It’s actually freezing tonight so I walk to my closet and pick up a blue hoodie and put it on before climbing on the bed. I pull the duvet up my body and wrap myself in it. It feels warm and comfortable. As I close my eyes, my subconscious takes over and in no time, I fall asleep.***************************************************************"Aurora, you should wake up and prepare for school. It's already 5: 49 AM.” I hear my mother yell at the top of her voice and I know she is standing just right in front of my door. She always does this.If only she knew what I went through yesterday, she would let me sleep all day
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.
