ログインAURORAI gasped, pulling away from Draven to meet the cold gaze of Darius as he glared at me. Draven remains by my side, staring at his brother and not moving a muscle. “I don't like to repeat myself, brother,” Darius’s cold voice sounded again. Draven groaned, “What’s wrong, Darius?”Darius looked red in the face like he might combust out of anger. “What’s wrong?! You're making out with a slave girl when I'm looking for Luna!” Darius snapped.Draven gritted his teeth, “Yelling is not going to bring her back.”I kept my mouth shut, hiding behind Draven as the two brothers argued. The last thing I wanted to do now was to draw unnecessary attention to myself. I didn't need any more punishment from Darius. However, it seemed that no matter how I tried to stay away from trouble, it always found me because Darius’s cold gaze suddenly landed on me. “There’s a mess in my room. Clean it up as the slave that you are!” Darius barked at me. Draven let out a sigh as he stood up. I followed
AURORAI had expected to be punished for my outburst not to be hugged, especially not by the brother of the werewolf who was responsible for my misfortune today. “Let me go!” I struggled against him but his hold on me tightened. I started thrashing and screaming in his hold. I tried to get rid of him but he refused to let go. This wasn't what I had expected. I had been prepared for more pain but I just needed to say what’s on my mind. “Let me go you fucking psycho!” I hissed at him.I scratched his back, thumping my hands on his chest as I struggled but his hold on me remained. He didn't budge, instead he started whispering soothing words in my ears. I didn't want to hear those words but I couldn't block him out entirely as the pain and betrayal of what my father did slowly started coming back to me again. The way I had tried to run but I had been caught. The way I had been dragged away from my home forcefully. That’s all I've ever known and to have it all ripped away from me by
DRAVENToday has been terrible. I have never been an advocate of violence and seeing how today has gone so violently it made me feel terrible. Then there was this fact that the girl I'd been trying to win over my brother had tortured and humiliated her before everyone. I saw her stumbling to her room the moment we arrived. I knew I hadn't been much help but I couldn't start undermining my brother’s authority before the humans. We were both Alphas but that didn't mean I would challenge him publicly. I let out a sigh as Lyra nudged me. “Still got the girl on your mind?” she asked me. I sighed and looked away, “You guys round up.”Lyra smirked, “Yeah. Go get her.”I walked away and headed toward Rory’s bedroom. I contemplated using the connecting doors but I figured it wouldn't bode well with her especially since I didn't want to approach her as a superior. I arrived at her door and I let out a quiet sigh. I knocked softly at first but there was no response. I was certain she was i
AURORA“Halt!” Darius’s voice rang out. Everyone stopped walking even Calypso stopped dragging me while the guards held my father in place as Darius walked up to me, his eyes narrowed into slits. “What did you say?” he asked me. “I… I…” I blanked out, stuttering with the intense way he was staring at me. “She said you should check her father for tattoos,” Draven said, coming to my rescue. Darius shot his brother a scathing look, but Draven didn't flinch. “What tattoo?” Darius pressed, his voice cold. I wiped off the tears hastily and cleared my throat as I forced myself to speak. I needed to save him. “They normally have a red bird tattoo. The man I saw had it, if he's one of them he would have the tattoo behind his ears,” I answered. Darius frowned and stared at his guards, giving them a curt nod. I watched as they searched my father, yanking his head to the side and pulling at his collar for any sign of a tattoo but there was nothing. “He’s clean, Alpha,” one of the guards
AURORA“No… that can’t be right,” I whispered, horror clawing up my throat as the guard pointed toward my father.My blood turned to ice when Darius’s silver eyes fixed on him. I shook my head violently, ready to rush forward but a firm hand clamped down on my shoulder, forcing me to remain seated.“Sit this one out, peach,” Calypso murmured, her eyes deadly.“But—” I was about to protest when Darius spoke. “Bring him to me,” Darius ordered, his voice sharp as steel.A cold sweat slicked my skin as guards seized my father, dragging him forcefully toward Darius. My father shook his head, thrashing, yelling desperately.“No! You’ve got the wrong person!” But none of the wolves listened to him. My gaze searched the crowd and caught Victoria. Her face was twisted, her eyes narrowed, and her lips were pressed into a thin line.Her eyes had no tears, but I could see the anger and fear. I scoffed. At least I know she cares about my father, or maybe she's scared her means of survival won’t
AURORAI let out a startled gasp at Darius’s words, and it seemed I wasn’t the only one. Every human in the crowd froze, eyes wide with shock and dread. I could feel the fear rippling through the crowd. “Now!” Darius’s voice cracked through the air like thunder.His guards surged forward into the crowd. Screams broke out as they kicked women and children aside, dragging the men and boys into the open. They forced all of them to kneel before Darius and I wondered what else he was planning. The men were all shaking with fear as they bowed their heads. “Silence!” Darius barked.The square fell into an eerie stillness. His silver gaze locked onto me, pinning me in place like a hunted animal. I tried to look away, but I couldn’t. His Alpha aura held me captive.“You are going to identify the man you saw during the kidnapping, Aurora,” Darius commanded.I scoffed and before I could stop myself, I blurted out the words in my head without thinking. “Why should I betray my kind for the wol
