: 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-
Demiah13Hey my loves, I will be taking a few days break because of my health. Don't worry it's nothing too bad and I should be back in three days time.

《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

《Aurora's pov 》 "Bond?" Beta Samuel's voice is thick with confusion. But I can't seem to focus much on their words, my gaze growing hazier by the second, the air whooshing out my lungs harsher by the second. I take a staggering step forward, intending to perhaps steady myself on the bark of a tree, but there was no bark but air. I topple to the ground, my knees hitting the dirt as I gasp. This was painful. "Aurora!" Lily screech. I could feel her fingers wrap around my upper arm, maybe trying to steady me before I ungracefully fall to the ground fully. "Xavier-" I moaned in pain as I looked around aimlessly at the thick foliage around us. All I could make out was green and brown. Green and brown. My ears rang and I groan, my hands reaching up to cup them. "Stop. Please stop." I whispered hoarsely. Aurora. Suddenly the ringing stops and I freeze. That voice. The voice I now crave to hear. His voice. Xavier's voice. But surely he wasn't here. Surely he'd not come to take me

《Aurora's pov》"Stand down Christopher." Beta Samuel snarls, his eyes glowing blue. Chris shakes his head, as if to shake the command of his superior out his head and then growls."Stand down!" Beta Samuel roared, taking a step forward but Lily scurried in the middle of the wolves, her hands out to stop them."Stop it. Both of you! We don't have time to fight. God knows how Xavier is judging by the state Aurora is in now." Lily urges, her eyes pleading for the wolves to calm down their rage.But a growl comes out of Beta Samuel's chest and rumbles. Lily takes a cautious step toward Chris, yet keeps her posture straight and unafraid. A traitor admirable but in this situation should be treaded lightly."Beta Samuel, my brother has trusted your judgment for years and trusts you enough to keep you by his side. Please, trust me when I say, bringing Aurora to him would be beneficial and the right thing to do. Please." Her tone had pitched to one of a plea.I grow guilty. Here she was trying

《Aurora's pov》When the packhouse came into view, all I could seem to focus on was the shocked and terrified gazes of the wolves roaming about as they watched their strong leader, now succumbed to something they didn't know what." He looks dead." One whispered in terror, her gaze on her Alpha in pity."Don't be foolish. He's not dead, look at the rise and fall of his chest." Another snapped lowly."If the other packs hear of this they'll come for us. Our leader is down!" Another screeched."Quiet now! You don't know if there is a traitor amongst us who will let our enemies know." A pregnant she wolf mumbled, her eyes glazed over in panic."Merrill is right Stacy, be quiet. You never know who's listening." Another woman says.I stare at them and all I can think about is that this was my fault. No one else's but mine.It made me feel hate. Hate for myself. I didn't want to be this monster. I never wanted to hurt him or anyone.I never chose to be what I am.And maybe I didn't deserve

Athena's pov The needle leaves beneath my bare feet crumbled into the damp earth as I weave my way through coniferous trees. My breathing is harsh and the pounding of my heart is painful. Darkness cloaked around me, preventing me from seeing clearly yet I was determined to get the tiny baby in my arms to safety. I needed to get her to safety. The smell of coniferous trees and the distinct smell of fetid earth surrounded me as branches tore at my thin white dress. In the distance, I could clearly hear the howling of wolves. My heart races knowing I was getting closer. My icy blonde hair tosses back as I sped up, holding the baby close to my chest. My breathing is harsh as my feet continued to snap twigs that were scattered over the forest ground. Rustling sounds of wild animals scurrying over branches and thousands of twigs can be heard as the distinct sound of howls from wolves had gotten louder. I was near. A whimper leaves my lips, knowing I had to leave her, my baby. My heart

Essi's pov"So you're telling me the little girl is with Genieve, sister of Alpha Raphael? " I grit my teeth, anger so fierce coursing through me.Malia nodded and bowed her head, her fingers playing with the rune stones that apparently spoke to her and foresaw the future and the present.I hated witches with a passion. They were nasty and could be quite trickery. But I have been searching for that damn pixie child for years now, only to now know that she was right under my nose all along.How did I miss this?Genieve must be keeping her locked away.I lift the glass of blood to my lips, seeping some of that coppery goodness. I let out an ahh then grumble. "Then it's settled. I will ask Genieve to hand me the child-Malia shook her head. "I am afraid it wouldn't be that simple queen. Genieve is fond of the girl and sees her as her daughter. She also knows what the girl possesses, and what she can create. She will never willingly give you the girl."My eyes flashes as I snarled.
