Aurora’s POV “I think I should go back to my place. I am obviously not hurt anymore and I'll be fine” I told Alpha Daniel when he returned from wherever he had gone. He seemed taken aback by my words and I could see from his facial expressions that he wasn't going to agree to it, it didn't seem like he wanted to. “What? Just yesterday we thought you were going to die!”He said as if saying that was enough reason for him to want to keep me here for a while longer. But the way he was looking at me made it clear that what he meant was more than that. The way he looked at me spoke of...well, love? Affection, maybe something even stronger than that, or maybe I was gaslighting myself into seeing what I only wanted to see. It felt like being pulled into a trap, but I didn't know how to get out of it. I sighed and looked away so I wouldn't have to look at him. “You're right. This is just too much to take in all at once but I am fine now. Thanks to you and the healer. I also don't want to be
Aurora’s POV Alpha Daniel had insisted on going with me back home but I told him it was fine and I could do that by myself without having to drag him with me. I'm sure he didn't like that idea too much considering the fact that he has the alpha instincts to protect and guide others and not to be left behind. I didn't blame him for trying though, I didn't want to burden him either. As I walked down the streets I realized how much people were looking at me. The news must have spread like wildfire because everyone I passed was staring at me in disbelief or something l couldn't place. Some looked as if they were ready to kill whoever hurt me. Others simply stared wide-eyed as they tried to process everything that had happened and what I was doing. But when Jade saw me from afar, the little girl began running until she got to where I was and threw her arms around me, almost knocking me off my feet. She buried her face in my chest and sobbed loudly. But I shushed her, rubbing her back as
Alpha Daniel's POV “You need to sell her off," Luna said to me. ‘The sooner the better’ was what she added. I don't know what she meant by that, I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking, I really hoped it wasn't. I ignored her trying to focus on the papers that I was working on concerning the new construction site we were supposed to put up for the pack . It was still being built and there was a lot of work still to be done before the project could officially start. The job wasn't easy but neither was I. “Daniel, did you listen to anything I just said?” Luna asked exasperatedly. She leaned against my desk and looked at me expectantly. I sighed and closed my eyes. I knew she wouldn't stop so I gave in. I engaged her in the conversation knowing that I still needed to do something about this whole situation before things got out of hand. “Who are we talking about?” I didn't open my eyes to look at her when I answered. I had already given into enough today as it was. I couldn't afford
Aurora's POV Today I went out with Jade we were taking a walk around the pack and she showed me all of her favorite places. Alpha Daniel was yet to find out more about the people who attacked me but I had seen how hard he was working. These days he has been checking up on me like he had promised and I have been trying to keep my distance. It was hard, very hard, there were times when I almost told him that I was in love with him but somehow I held myself back...I think it took everything in me to not tell him that. The thought of having to lie to him made me sick. But it wouldn't be fair to do that to him or Luna. I noticed how his eyes would linger on my lips longer than usual and the way he would look at me after every conversation. It was as if there was something there, something that would never happen and I couldn't tell if it was all imagining it because I desperately wanted it to happen or if he actually felt something for me...but then again, it doesn’t feel right to tell
Aurora’s POV “How could you girls know he was right there and none of you said anything about it?” I asked them, still feeling angry as I returned home. I was pacing back and forth in front of the door. My heart was beating hard, my hands were shaking, and my eyes burning with tears that bluntly refused to fall. The anger that had been building up over the past few hours now boiled over and threatened to erupt all at once. I couldn’t take this anymore and if they had only told me sooner then maybe we could have- I could have avoided him. “How are we supposed to tell you that your former mate was around getting you to react like this? You would have done that one way or the other” “Shut up Layla! fucking shut up!” I yell through gritted teeth. “It doesn’t matter what I do. I am so sick of always being on edge, but I had you guys and you were supposed to make my life easier, especially Sia! I don't want to hear a word from any of you again!” This time none of them said anything an
Alpha Daniel’s POV Aurora and I sat there drinking and giggling about anything and everything and I could swear that the alcohol was starting to kick in in our system because we were feeling so carefree. We laughed at each other until our stomachs hurt. I had never felt so carefree, so relieved, and so normal, in a long time. It wasn’t just the drink that made me feel like this but more so the fact that Aurora was sitting next to me and looking beautiful as always. She was wearing a black dress, which complimented her golden skin well. She had helped me ease the tension and tonight I wasn't thinking of the pack or the pressure that came with being Alpha, all I thought of was how lucky I was. To be able to sit beside Aurora and laugh about things that made you happy rather than worrying about them was amazing. “I didn't think I'd laugh so much today, talk more of this evening”, she admitted. She looked at me through her lashes and I saw her lips curved into that smile that I adore
Aurora’s POV Fireworks, butterflies, Sparks, and electric bolts danced through my body when I placed my lips against Alpha Daniel’s. I had thrown caution to the wind and his lips felt even way better than I had imagined. He pulled me closer as our tongues battled for dominance. He might mine with slow wicked lapses, pulling me into a realm of passion. I clung to his neck, letting it consume me until he pulled away. We stared at each other with dark, lustful eyes. “Fuck... should we go inside?” he asked me and I nodded gingerly. His hands lingered on my arms and my heart pounded in anticipation of what was coming next. We stumbled into the dimly lit apartment. He closed the door behind us and I couldn't wait any longer as my lips returned to kissing him furiously. I tugged at his shirt, wanting more. He pushed back against me, hard, pushing me down until we managed to make it to the room. I gasped loudly as his hand found its way under my dress, caressing my breast before moving
Alpha Daniel's POV As I thrusted into her and watched her wince in pain and I waited patiently for her to get accustomed to my size. “Are you okay?” I asked and she nodded as tears formed in her eyes. “Are you sure you don’t want me to stop?” I asked again and she nodded. She gripped my shoulders tighter and closed her eyes and moaned at the contact of my length against hers. Her nails dug into my skin a little bit and she was panting, but she was still gripping me. I pushed into her gently for what seemed like forever until I reached a slow and gentle rhythm that sent tingles across her body and made her toes curl. “More” she begged while wriggling beneath me and I obliged by taking more. It took all my willpower not to push past her tight walls and bury myself inside her because she smelled so good but my job was to make this one experience last a while, and if she was willing then it had to be good enough. “Please” she begged when our pace slowed and I felt her tremble beneat
