AURORA'S POV:

Some mornings feel wrong before they even begin.

I knew today would be one of those.

The sky outside was still a smudge of grey when I woke up, a chill curling around my ankles like a warning. The air felt heavier, like it was pressing down on my shoulders, whispering don’t go as I dragged myself out of bed and into the world.

But I did. I went. Because I always do. Because pretending I’m okay is safer than admitting I’m not.

The halls of Clarence High are their usual blend of too much and not enough. Too much noise. Too many bodies and not enough space to breathe. I feel so suffocated.

My locker is only a few steps down the corridor, but it might as well be miles. Helpppp!!

I dodge past a group of cheerleaders, avoid eye contact with Mr. Braidy who’s probably going to give us a pop quiz in English, and finally get to my locker, fingers already tingling with the usual nerves.

That’s when I see it.

A folded note. Tucked between my class schedule and the w

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 45

    AURORA'S POV: Cali lounges across my bed, legs swinging as she flips through our project notes. “Okay, but seriously, why does every group assignment feel like punishment?” I laugh, pulling my laptop closer. “Because it is. You and I are the only ones doing the actual work.” She grins, popping a grape into her mouth. “True. And don’t even get me started on Dax. He keeps texting me like we’re still a thing.” Dax is her on and off boyfriend. I don't even understand their dynamic most times. Their relationship is also toxic as fuck cause why would the both of y'all be cheating on each other for fun?? “Wait, Dax? I thought you broke up with him months ago?” “I did! But now he’s in his ‘what we had was real’ phase. Like, bro, you ghosted me for three weeks and then posted a thirst trap with your ex. Be serious.”Men are scum, guys.I snort. “The audacity of men.” Cali sighs dramatically. “I know, right? I’m over the drama, though. I just want someone who actually listen

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 43

    AURORA'S POV: I walk through the school hallway like I’m trying not to be seen. Shoulders tight, head down, footsteps light. The tension from yesterday still clings to me like cigarette smoke... lingering, choking, impossible to shake.Jon’s text from this morning is still unopened.So is Arc’s second one from last night:Arc: You can pretend all you want, Little Seer, but your body never lies. Disgust curls in my stomach. Or maybe it's guilt. Or maybe it’s both tangled into one big ball of 'What the hell are you doing, Aurora?' I can’t focus and can’t breathe. I can’t even stop replaying everything over and over.Why did I let it happen?Why did it feel so right and so good?And why the hell do I want more?"Aurora!" I nearly jump out of my skin. Cali skips up beside me, shoving a piece of croissant into her mouth."You good? You’ve been zoning out all morning.""Just tired," I lie. She gives me a look. "Is this about the weird tension between you, Jon, and Arc? ’Cau

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 42

    AURORA'S POV: Embarrassed doesn't begin to explain how I'm feeling. I've literally been staring at myself in the mirror for the past twenty minutes. I don't even know whether to scream at them to leave or to wallow in my shame in peace. Either ways, I'm not so sure I'll make it out alive. Shoot! Today is freaking Thursday! I have school. Ughhhhhhh I need to get them out of the room. I open the bathroom door slightly and peep through. I don't see both of them anymore. Great. They finally worked together for the right thing. You sure about that? Memories that coming back to me immediately. Shut up. I look into the mirror again and really starr at myself. My hair’s a mess. My neck is covered in marks from Jon and Arc. My eyes are puffy. I look like someone who just had the most sinful night of her life. I splash cold water on my face, trying to scrub the guilt off. Trying to scrub them off. But it’s useless. I can still feel their touch on my skin. Still feel the way J

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 41

    AURORA'S POV: We barely make it inside the house when I'm slammed into the wall. They both pepper kisses down my neck and ear, their hands going under my tank top. Wait where are-"Where are Ava and-" Jon claims my lips, shutting me up. "They are out for the weekend. Now, shut up and let us work." Heat rushes down to my legs. We manage to make it upstairs in one piece after maybe breaking one to two vases on the way but who cares? As soon as we enter my room, Arc grabs me by the waist, our chests rubbing against each other. The smell of alcohol was stronger with the proximity. His eyes glazed with pure desire as he drank me in. "Look at you, all mine," he said with a smirk, voice low, and before I could reply, Jon growls and pulls me out of his hold so I could face him instead. Possessiveness has never looked so hot on him. "Oh, the things I want to do to you, my Aurora," Jon whispers with a hooded gaze, licking his lips. My breath stutters when I feel some

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 40

    AURORA'S POV: So apparently, the party will be taking place at a cheerleader's house. Yeah, Jon doesn't know her name so I don't either. I'm going to spend my night at a stranger's house. Yay! Jon slows down at a white bungalow that somehow looks too formal to be a home. We get down from the car and walk up the pavement. Digested is a PROPER understatement for how I'm feeling right now. There's so much vomit by the pavement and plastic cups are practically everywhere. I thought the party was inside the house not outside. Well, considering this is my first every high school party, I have made the beautiful decision to not repeat such an experience again. We knock on the door and immediately a girl who looks drunk out of her senses, opens the door. "Hi," Hiccups, "wel-" Hiccup, "-come"She shines her entire 32 at us leaving me creeped out as she pushes us out of the way before stepping out of the door. "Oh..Kay..." Jon laughs at my facial expression and takes a hold o

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 39

    AURORA'S POV: The imbecile is back again. Sorry, Ariel. Slip of tongue. She walks in like nothing happened. Blonde hair in a sleek ponytail, lips tinted rose, bandages still taped to her wrist. The rumours are still the same. Some say she tried to poison herself. Others say it was a failed suicide. Blablabla. She passes me in the cafeteria line and bumps her tray hard into mine."Oops," she says with a fake smile. "Hope I didn’t bruise your delicate ego."Huh? That 'insult' doesn't even make any type of sense. I don’t respond. I won’t give her the satisfaction. But Jon notices. His eyes narrow, but I grip his sleeve subtly, pulling him back. “I got it,” I whisper.Ariel doesn’t stop there. At lunch, she ‘accidentally’ takes my seat next to Cali. When I reclaim it, she tosses a smug glance my way.“Oh? You want to sit here? My bad, didn't know.” She says in a sickly sweet manner. Ew. I bite my tongue. She’s testing me. Every little thing is calculated. But what s

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 38

    AURORA'S POV:She didn't die. I heard the teachers in the staff room. But of course, high school students will prefer a more complex report so rumors it is! Fools. Guess what? The witch is even back. My fault for thinking her failed plan would send her to where she came from. The homeroom is so loud so I decided to come to the library. I really can't remember the last time I sat down to read for school. Exams are frigging coming! The library is quieter than usual this morning. Even the soft clack of fingers on keyboards and the occasional cough from behind the shelves seem muffled and muted by the weight pressing on my chest. I sit in the farthest corner, away from the windows, my notebook open but untouched. The pages stay blank no matter how long I stare, like my mind is rejecting the idea of moving forward. I trace the edge of the torn photograph I found in my locker two days ago. My fingers glide over the uneven rip, the image of my baby self caught between

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 37

    AURORA'S POV:(Before the poisoning) It’s been five days since Ariel arrived at Clarence High, and already she walks the halls like she owns them. Everywhere I go, she’s there. Flashing her perfect teeth in that overly sweet smile. Flicking her silky black hair over her shoulder like she’s in some shampoo commercial. Laughing too loud at things that aren’t funny. And worst of all - clinging to Arc like her life depends on it. Stupid fool. I can’t look away, and I hate that I care. I hate that it stings when I see her hand brush his arm, when she giggles and tilts her head like she knows exactly what she’s doing. Maybe she does. She’s too perfect, too polished. And despite my best attempts to ignore her, I feel like I’m drowning in the air she breathes. The students are eating it up. Rumors swirl around like leaves caught in a storm. “Did you see the new girl? Total model vibes.” “I heard she’s Arc’s fiancée. They’re like royalty.”And then there are the whispers abo
