Aurora's POV“So sorry, Aurora,” Luca rushed as he picked the glass of water and held it to my mouth. I took a few gulps before I pulled back in relief, he patted my back softly.His hand had touched the part where I was hurt and I flinched away. “Ouch!!”“Sorry–” He said and pulled away from me. I heaved a deep breath, looked up to see him leaning against the table by the wall.Blinking, I asked him, “Why are you standing there?” He shrugged. “Because I don't want to hurt you again?” I giggled. “It's fine. I just choke on my food.”He raised a doubtful eye. “So it wasn't because of my question?”I bit my bottom lip, swallowing hard. “It kinda did–” I narrowed my eyes. “A bit.”He placed both his hands in his pocket. “Why?”“My– eerm.” I cleared my throat, as a lump appeared. “They died.”His eyes narrowed. “Why?”I shrugged. I can't tell him anything yet. He is a part of the Rogues after all.“Since they died, I became a slave, after all I was an orphaned Omega.”He shook his head
Aurora's POV“What? No!!” I yelled.He furrowed his brows. “Stop being stubborn. I'd asked Pamela, but they're busy at noon. It might get an infection if you leave it till evening.”I tried to take the balm from him, but he raised it high above his head, I frowned. “Give it to me, I'll apply it on myself.”He smirked. “Wow, I never knew you were a super girl.”Pouting, I stomped my foot. “Stop taunting me, I could manage.”He shook his head and turned around, crossing his arms. “No, you're not managing when I'm here to help you.”“What–”He cut me off. “Get changed quickly, stubborn girl.”I bit my button lips, balled my fist tightly as I threatened to hit him from behind.He's the one stubborn, but he's quick to judge others. I rolled my eyes and quickly made sure he wasn't staring.Then I went to the wardrobe, as I opened it, I was awed to see it was packed with clothes my size.“What's this?” I asked, shoving through.“Don't you like them?” He asked, almost turning to look.“Don't
Aurora's POVI peeped out of the bathroom to make sure Luca had gone out, the room was empty and the door was locked.I smiled. “Thanks to the goddess that he is gone.” It would have been hard for me to bathe with him in the room.After I peeled off my clothes I dumped them in the basket outside and as I hummed a song, I went back to the bathroom.Suddenly I went mute and air was caught off my lungs. I stared wide eyed at the bathroom that looked like an extra room.Placing one hand on my hips, I slammed my face with the other. “Such a show off,” I spat. “I mean, what's the use of wasting this much space for a bathroom.”With a sharp click of my tongue, I stepped forward, scrutinizing everywhere. “A bathroom was meant to be used for bathing– No one needs this much space to do that.”The whole place was flooded with lights, it made the white tiles floor and walls glow like clouds.As I touched the walls, I smiled and shrugged. “It's pretty though, but still too much.”A large mirror
Luca's POV“What the fuck are you saying?” I growled at her. She kept shaking her head as she tried to leave the room. “That's where I belong. If I stay here, close to you, I might curse you with my bad luck.”Damn. My chest tightened as she said those words about herself.How do I tell her she was not a curse, rather, she was like a blessing to me.All this while, I had slept with a burden in my chest every night, and I would wake up with a nightmare. Nightmare of what my parents went through in the hands of the Blood Moon Pack. I would spend the whole night plotting my revenge.But last night, after I met her. For the first time I thought about something different before I slept, and I had a nice dream while I slept all through the night.All I thought and dreamt about was– Her.She came to me as a blessing and eased the pain I'd carried all these years.When I thought I'd lost her this morning after Pamela told me she was gone. I couldn't think anymore.I was about to run mad loo
Aurora's POVI pressed my eyes shut because of the wind, as dust flew into the air.The leaves on the trees waved in fury as a howl bursted out in front of me.I coughed and pulled my skirt down as I shifted back and leaned against the bark of the tree.“Aurora, are you okay?” Luca– Was it him?I opened my eyes slowly and I saw him in front of me, brows drawn back, forehead creased in worry.His blonde hair was flowing in the wind as he cupped my face and watched the blood on my lips, he wiped it, looking for the wound.His hasty gaze ran all over my body as he shifted my arm and then my legs. His chest was heaving and his lips parted.“Tell me, where did they hurt you?” He asked, pushing my hair over my shoulder.My eyes watered as I looked around to see all the Rogues on the floor groaning in pain as they struggled to get up.He saved me. He came like the gods of the woods and he rescued me as soon as I called his name.My lips wrung downwards as I threw my head back, sobbing. He l
Alicia's POV“No, I guessed she would be called Jojo. It's a pretty name,” I lied, looking away from her.She shook her head, and her shoulder dropped like a child refused candy.“But I'm sure you'll find her.” I said smiling.She nodded in agreement. “Sure.” She walked over to her chair, slightly bent over. “Tell me what you're doing in these woods alone?”I pulled a chair and sat next to her. “I left home.” I couldn't tell her about the camp where I met Luca and Jojo. “I am heading towards another pack, I'd appreciate it if you could point it out for me, ma.”“You can call me, Grandma Lily.”I smiled and nodded, “Is that what Joey called you?”“Yes. I see you like my grandchild now, so call me that.”I raised a brow in shock. She just met me and she saw me as her grandchild? Maybe she really missed Jojo, while Jojo was living her best life with Luca as mates.My stomach churned at the thought of that, it left me wondering why?“What is your name?” She asked me.“Aurora,” I replied.
