《Aurora's pov 》When he said he'd bring me to have breakfast, I didn't think he'd bring me out of the room and into the pack dining room where there were five long tables with countless chairs around them and endless choices of breakfast.The chairs were occupied by the members of the pack.The pack ate together.I squirmed, pushing myself closer to Xavier who tightens his hold around me.When we made our presence known, every head including Beta Samuel's turned to face us.Everyone bowed their head in respect for Xavier while they mumbled out 'Alpha.'But they ignored me completely except for Adrian and her father who glared at me hotly.Xavier's grip around my hand grows more firm as he stood tall and quite scary, to say the least.One of the elder women scoots out of her chair and lands herself on her knees before Xavier. " Alpha. We are glad that you are safe and had not died of the wicked poisoning of your mate."I froze, my heart pummeling in my chest until it hurt. I knew they
《Aurora's pov 》Everything had gone, silent.It was strange.I browsed around the room noting how relaxed everyone seemed, in fact, they looked as though they were in some kind of trance or the very least.....high.The gold particles that resembled something like dust glowed then suddenly vanishes.I looked down at my arms. There was no more gold dust coming from them.And as I lift my gaze up to scan around the room in panic, I'm left with a heavy feeling in my gut as everyone's eyes are on me, including Xavier's.They were all confused as to what had happened. But somehow they still seemed, relaxed.Including Xavier who had removed his hold around Beta Samuel's neck, turning to me in the slightest of confusion."What have you done?" The question came from his Beta with an accusing tongue that was meant to lash out but the words came out....normal.Not even the glare on his face had remained, and neither did the tight lines of anger on his forehead."I- I don't-" I stammered, fearing
《Aurora's pov》"Brother let her speak," Lily said, looking at me then nods in encouragement. " Go on Aurora."I was too afraid to lift my head up and look into his eyes. Too scared to see the look of repulse or anger.Too afraid to see how much I disappointed him.I draw in air, because honestly that was the only way I could calm down a little to be able to continue."I- I," I stammered, narrowing my eyes on his hands as his nails pierce through the wood of his desk. My heart pounds.Calm down Aurora.I take another lung full of air then with a shuddering breath I continued. "I never knew my mother or father. Raphael's sister Genieve was the one who found me in the woods. I don't know the full story because Genieve died when I was at a very young age. All I've ever known was slavery since then. I took beatings for simple mistakes and got called ugly names because of my features."I stopped, swallowing harshly as I remember one of the punishments I had to endure because a spoon fell t
《 Aurora's pov 》 Rodrick continues to hum as his eyes never leave the written words in the book. Xavier pulls away a little to scan his eyes over my body intensely with a look of shock and confusion. He clears his throat when his amber eyes fell on mine. Tearing them away he looks over at Rodrick. "How is that possible since we only- " He looks over at his sister and a shadow of a blush crawls on his cheeks. The terrifying alpha was flustered! "I only claimed her fully last night." He finishes, avoiding his sister's gaze like the plague. Rodrick nods, flipping the page. "Yes I've noticed by the strong scent she's giving off. You'd have to have your nostrils glued to not take the smell of you off of her." This time it was I who blushed furiously. I shuffled on my feet, avoiding the stare of everyone in the room. "Pixies pregnancy only last three months, very different from the wolves who only hold their pups for six. " Rodrick mumbles, the sound of his fingers brushing the roug
《Aurora's pov 》I stared at the closed door."Don't worry Aurora, my brother knows how to take care of himself. He'll be fine." Lily reassured me as she steps over to me, smiling slightly.I tried to smile back but I was sure it looked like I had grimaced."Hey Luna, do you happen to have a cure or some way to move the effects of the pixie dust?" Eli yawns, now slouched and ready to fall on his face by the way he was nearly staggering on his two feet.He was left behind seeing that he could barely stay up without swaying a little. Xavier thought it would be better to have him stay with us and Rodrick.I shook my head, wincing slightly. "I'm sorry Eli but no, I'm afraid not."Eli turned to Rodrick who still had his gaze on the book intently."What about you doc? Does it say anything in the book there to rid one of the effects of pixie dust?" Eli sighed, almost desperately.I felt really bad about being the cause of his drowsiness.But did he really have to stand so close to me in the f
《Aurora's pov》"It's her fault."Was the first mumbling of harsh whispers I heard when we stepped out of the pack house.I swiftly drop my gaze to the ground, finding the blades of grass more fascinating to watch than the sneers on their faces.I try to block out their bitter words as Lily grips my hand tightly while we follow Eli and Rodrick to the infirmary. "We have a monster for a luna. A devil." I flinch slightly, bending my head in shame and curling my fingers through Lily's as she tugs me along. "Ignore them Aurora. They will come to their senses soon enough." Lily whispered.I sighed lowly and barely managed a nod. I wasn't sure if I should believe her words. Who would forgive someone who's the cause of three wolf's deaths?When we got to the infirmary, Rodrick leads us to an empty room since the other doctors were busy tending to an ashen unmoving Josie."Alpha and Christopher went back to retrieve the other wolf who had fallen to wolfsbane." A female doctor said to Rodric
《Aurora's pov》 The room is quite dark as the open door had given most of the light. But now that it was closed, the only light coming in was the little space under the door itself. My heart thudded against my chest painfully as I hear the commotion behind the door. Whatever was going on wasn't pretty and it was terrifying to think that someone had perhaps come to rid themselves of me. That someone was Samuel. Lily's eyes glowed slightly and she grumbles. "It's Samuel. He's demanding that Eli give you to him. Don't worry Eli wouldn't let him get a hold of you." I knew she was able to see me so I nod. I trusted Eli, it was Samuel I didn't trust. 'Don't worry, I'm sure my brother is already on his way.' She tries to ease my concern. I smiled shakily yet palm my stomach as if this would protect my baby. Eli's pov 'You need to get to the infirmary quickly. Samuel's here and I don't think he comes for a measly conversation.' I mind linked Xavier. 'Is Aurora with you?' He mind links
Eli's povMy jaw snaps, my teeth sink into his calves, blood drenched into my mouth, swirling on my tongue. Metallic.Samuel roars, bending his leg only to pull away from my jaws. His skin remains inside my mouth and I spit it out.Nasty.The little distraction had him somehow flipping over me, his arms wrapping around my middle. He can barely wrap his arms fully around me, but it was enough for him to add pressure, grunting as he manages to break one of my rib bones.My wolf whines, turning over so that Samuel would land on the floor painfully.When I hear the satisfying thud of him hitting his back on the floor I turn around, ready to go for another attack, but he's quick enough to slash his nails behind my leg.I growl, snarling as I keep pressure off the leg so it would heal quickly and would not bleed out so much.Samuel goes in a crouching fighting stance as he waited for my next move. His eyes were dead set on me and would send chills of fear down a lower rank but not me."I do
