Aurora's pov
I closed the door quickly behind me, my chest rising and falling as I sought to fill my lungs with as much air as I can. My heart was racing, the beat harsh in my chest.
Will he burst through the door any second and punish me?
The thought had my skin prickling with anxiety but oddly not in fear. Somehow I knew he wouldn't hurt me. Perhaps it was the words I read moments ago that made me feel as if he wouldn't.
Or maybe it was the way he looked at me.
Desire. Want. But not revolt and despise.
Mate.
I pull away from the door, sweat coating my skin as I started pacing the length of the room. I push my fingers into my hair and itched my scalp as I try to make sense of what I read.
Was I Xavier Knight's mate?
The most ruthless alpha that had anyone bend the knee before him?
The tingles that will rock you will have you melt i
Sorry for the late update today, the chapter took longer than expected to write :( Btw do you guys think it's a wise choice Aurora's trying to make Xavier claim her?
《 Aurora's pov 》Every second he stares down at me, I heard the ticking of a clock in my head.His stare was burning, like fire that threatened to consume my entire being. I never felt such a way or have someone ever looked at me in desire like this.This was new to me but felt so impossibly good and thrilling."Aurora," My name tumbles out of his mouth in a slow hoarseness that had my tummy tightening."Yes alpha Xavier?" I peeked at him beneath my lashes, remembering how the she wolves would act when they were trying to seduce the male wolves.His stare almost burns me alive as they fired up with hunger so strong that my knees felt jello. I could've collapsed there and then just by how weak they became, plastering to the floor."Why are you on your knees?" He grumbles, eyes falling to my knees.I blushed under the weight of his stare. "Don't you want me on my knees Alpha? "His jaw ticked, his
: Xavier's pov : "You've summoned for me Alpha?" One of my patrolling wolves bowed his head, hands tucked behind his back as he waited with stiffness for my answer. My eyes slip to the girl on the table, a white sheet covering her nakedness from our sight. Her skin had now turned an odd color of purple. It had been so long since we've seen the effects of wolfsbane that I had forgotten how toxic it really can be for wolves. " Yes. Eli mentioned that you were the one who found her?" I questioned, nodding my head to the dead she wolf. Isaac nods, looking down at the dead girl in pity. There was nothing we could do for her. It had already been too late. The wolfbane had already taken effect and she was already no more the second it entered her bloodstream. "Where? " I murmured, then tear my eyes off the dead wolf to stare at Isaac. " Where exactly did you find her?" Isaac looks to be searching his mind before he answers. "
《 Aurora's pov 》I paced the room, my palms sweaty. He's been out for a good hour or more.I didn't care to look seeing as it got me more anxious. During that hour, I found myself biting my bottom lip, tugging at my hair, groaning and scratching at my cheek.Something felt undeniably off to me. Seeing that girl in Eli's arms, she was unmoving, presuming dead already. The way the wolves shouted and the fear that was clear on their faces shook me to the core.They were known to be the most feared pack. But whatever happened to the girl, made them terrified.My mind was clogged with thoughts of Xavier. Concerned thoughts. Whether this was the bond or not, I didn't care.Sighing, I backed away until the back of my knees hit the bed. I plop on the soft bed, fisting the sheets in my hands.I was this close to revealing my secret to Xavier. This close to perhaps getting thrown out or worse, killed.My plan to have him cl
《 Aurora's pov 》Xavier was breathing heavily, my eyes glued on the rise and fall of his chest. I could almost see the pounded of his heart like this. Something stirred in my being, something like a burning passion to be claimed.I want him to claim me.Xavier must've noticed my stare, his canines jutting out as he growls. "I want you to lick up every last drop of my semen on my stomach."His order had my insides twisting so deliciously that the tingling in my pussy roared back to life. I nodded, finding myself excited to taste him. My tongue slowly licks my bottom lip as if already tasting him.I lift up one of my legs and brought it to the other side of him. I could feel his stare burning on the side of my face as I slowly descend my mouth to the creamy substance.I froze a breath away from touching the substance when I feel his long fingers wrap around the length of my pink tresses to pull them away from my face.
: Xavier's pov : This is what I had feared. A weakness. I had a fucking weakness. And that weakness was Aurora. 《Aurora's pov》 The door creaks open about ten minutes later after Xavier stormed out. A blonde head girl enters, her soft smile brightening the tense room. Her face was familiar, she was perhaps the other girl who brought food for me the other day. In her hands was a tray filled with what I presume was food. My belly grumbles, remembering I hadn't eaten anything as yet. I move my swollen red eyes from her, gulping as I bring my knees to my chin. I got dressed as soon as he left the room. I didn't want his food, his pity. He can take the food and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. In all honesty, I was now actually very angry with him. I listened to the sound of her footsteps as she nears, until she stops just at the edge of the bed. "Hey, Alpha Xavier said you hadn't-
《Aurora's pov》"Just up ahead," Eli said lowly as he walked in front, his stance stiff and probably regretting agreeing to bring me here.I nod even though he couldn't see me and wrapped my arms around myself.I feared of what he'd say to me but I had the determination to make him see that, perhaps we could make this work. Perhaps he doesn't have to send me away to protect me.Maybe we indeed needed each other and parting ways would not be to our benefit.I needed to make him see.That I was worth it.But as Eli stopped a few feet away from what I presume was Xavier's study, my heart dropped and dread weighed heavy in my gut.I was terrified. But knew if I were to show him that I was indeed worth it, I'd have to be stronger. Act stronger. Show him I was stronger.So I pulled in a sharp breath through my nose and let it out through my parted mouth. I needed to relax if I were to speak to him.Eli turn
: Xavier's pov :"You've really outdone yourself this time Xavier." Eli murmurs, leaning against the wall, his legs crossed, his arms crossed.He looked tired and noticeable unnerved." Spit out whatever you need to tell me," I grumble knowing he had heard every single thing that happened in my study. Which meant that he knew Aurora was my mate. I should've made those walls soundproof.I'll have to look into that.Eli face turns into one of shock as he places his hand on his chest, feigning a look of hurt. "You wound me Alpha. You make it sound as though I'll accuse you of keeping such a huge secret from me. Although I'm disappointed in knowing you didn't trust me enough to tell me about her, I think I know you too well to know how arrogant and sometimes too proud you can be. You'd never let anyone know your weakness. " He snorted.I narrowed my eyes on him, my jaw ticking. He was right. I didn't want anyone to know my weakness
《Aurora's pov》"Beta Samuel," I bowed my head in respect for the powerful male wolf."We need to be on our way. Alpha Xavier was very strict on you being long gone before he gets back." Beta Samuel says, his gaze flickering to the woods ahead. It was rather thick and scary. I turn to stare at Sarah, my gaze falling down sadly. Did he seriously want me gone that bad?Sarah must've noticed my gaze because she smiles in reassurance, clearly remembering that I didn't like the look of pity."It will be fine Aurora. I'm sure Alpha Xavier will come to his senses before you step foot out of the border." She says softly, squeezing my clammy hand. My other hand held on to the small backpack Cas had given me.The only thing of her I had left.I wanted to know so badly of what happened to her. I wanted to know so badly if she were still alive and safe.I clutched the bag tightly, using it as an anchor so I wouldn't break down and crumble before two wolves. It was embarrassing enough that everyon
