《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
《Aurora's pov 》 A sense of panic had taken me completely off guard, but it was expected seeing as Lily wasn't coughing anymore and did not answer my call to her. I couldn't see her because it was still so bloody dark. And I wasn't so sure I could open the door and call out to anyone as yet. I, unfortunately, didn't have the good hearing of a wolf, so I had no idea if everything was in the clear. But if it was, surely they'd knock on the door to tell me so? Unsure of what to do, I crouched down and aimlessly search for a feel of Lily. When my fingers brushed against her foot, I sighed with relief. I gripped her ankle and shook it, calling out to her. But there was no response. I was no doctor and I sure as hell wasn't graced with magical healing powers either but I patted her body, until I reach her chest and I never felt so relieved before when I felt the quick rise and fall of her chest. "Lily, Lily please," I begged in a cracky tone. I felt practically useless and troubled t
《Aurora's pov 》Everything seems to be running on autopilot after his words. The way the air around us had quickly shifted from fear to anguish was alarming.Eli wasn't dead yet. And I was praying, hoping he actually wouldn't be.Rodrick pulls his hand out of the wound that gushed out crimson blood. The sight of it turned my belly and I covered my mouth with my arm that hadn't been stained with Eli's blood.After Rodrick's words were released Chris's tongue seemed to have grown numb. Because he hadn't uttered a single word.He was frozen in a state of perhaps disbelief and fear."Do everything you can to make sure he survives this Rodrick. Our Beta will not die today. " I said, determined to help in any way I can so Eli would have a fighting chance at survival.Rodrick nods and hurried over to a table with medical supplies. I place my hand over Eli's chest, relieved to feel the pounding of his heart.At least his heart was still beating."You'll be okay Eli. I just know it. Keep fight
《Aurora's pov 》"I've managed to close up the wound. We now have to leave it to his wolf to heal him and if we're lucky he'll be good in a few hours. " Rodrick sighs and I can literally feel the relief washing out of him and tangling in the air.My heart felt lighter upon hearing his words. Our Beta will survive, this was great news. The best news.Rodrick's hand is stained with blood as he removes it from Eli's wound. My stomach turns at the sight of it. So much blood."I'll give him a dose of sleeping medication so he can rest and not shift much to reopen the wound. " He utters while discarding the bloody needle on the small metal table beside the bed.He turns around perhaps to clean his hand off the blood, or perhaps to take the sleeping medication but before he could, Xavier's voice cracks through the air." What about Lily Rodrick? Will she be okay?" There's a visible tinge of worry in his voice that made me feel the emotion myself.Rodrick turns around slightly to look over his
《 Aurora's pov 》"I must go now love," Xavier says as he reluctantly peels away from me and walks over to the closet to pull out some clothes."Where are you going?" I whispered, dreading that he was parting ways with me even though I knew he was much needed now more than ever."We can no longer wait and have them attack us. I must start training the pack now. We don't have a few days to get ready, we only have hours." Xavier grumbles as if his gut was telling him that the council was well on their way.I will not lie, the tone of his voice made me nervous and if I was being honest, I was also feeling fear.A few hours, that was too little time.It wasn't enough time at all. Another reason to doubt that we would be ready when they do strike. I'm about to voice out my concerns but Xavier suddenly stops midway through putting on his sweatpants.He turns around and I instantly notice the fogginess in his eyes. He was being mind linked or he was mind linking someone. Either way, he seeme
- Raphael's pov - The door opens slowly and Beta Gavin pokes his head in with a nod. Good she's managed to get her. Smirking in satisfaction, I laughed. " You're getting bold for a guy whose mate is no longer under his protection." I can just smell the fear coming off of him through the phone. A man without his mate wasn't strong. An Alpha without his Luna, was the weakest of them all. I hope he feels the exact same way I felt years ago when he murdered my first Luna. Revenge, feels so God damn sweet. "More wolfsbane for me!" I sang and ended the call before he could respond. I was superior, I was fucking superior. No one can stand in my way now. I would be the strongest alpha alive and with her, no one will even think of trying to go to war with me. No one. Not even the so-called fearless leader of the crimson moon pack. The sound of a sob coming from the corner of the room had me rolling my eyes in irritation. She was a weak Luna and if her death would not have me weaken
《Aurora's pov》I pulled away from Cass completely to stare at the female vampire. I looked at her confused.The way she spat out my name was as though we were well acquainted and that I had done her something extremely terrible.I did not know the woman. And have never seen her before.She was not at all familiar but she seem to give away that she knew my mother.And by the nasty glare coming from her eyes to burn through me, I knew that she hadn't quite liked my mother as well."How do you know my mother?" I whispered in intrigue.This was the first time someone have ever mentioned my mother. Because no one knew her. No one knew what she was.But this woman, I can tell by the gleam in her eyes, she knew her. She knew me. And she knew what we were. Perhaps what we can do as well.A smirk so cruel and disdainful appears on her lips. "You're a curious little thing aren't you? ""But to answer your question, I was a dear friend of your mother's. We were practically besties as they call i
