AURORA

I stormed into Damon’s study, the door slamming so hard it echoed off the walls. Damon, who had been engrossed by the papers on his desk, looked up startled, then relieved.

“Rora… I’m glad to see you…”

“Don’t… Don’t say that, Damon. You lied to me.” My voice trembled with fury.

He blinked, standing slowly. “What are you talking about, sunshine?” he asked, approaching me cautiously, arms slightly extended as if to pull me in. But I took a step back, and he froze.

“You lied about Oprah. You told me she left! And you never told me the reason we lost the baby. I was poisoned, Damon! You knew!” my voice cracked.

Damon’s face darkened. “Oh, that,” he said, turning his back to me as he walked to his desk.

My brows knitted, rage bubbling inside me. “Release Oprah from that dungeon now!”

“I can’t do that, Rora. She’s the only suspect. My pup died… someone has to pay.” he said, exhaled sharply, refusing to meet my eyes.

“She’s innocent and you know it! She’s like a mother to me!” I cried

    AURORADamon jerked upright with a harsh breath, his chest heaving. For a heartbeat, he looked around wildly, like a predator still trapped in a hint. Then his gaze found me.“Aurora,” he gasped.I barely had time to react before he pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly. My ribs ached. His face buried in my neck, his breath coming in ragged bursts.“You came for me… I thought I’d lost myself.” he said.My hands threaded through his hair, pulling him closer. “I will always come for you, Damon. Always.”He leaned back just enough to search my face, his eyes glistening in the moonlight. “You went into my head. You saw…”“I saw everything, I saw the man you really are, beneath all of it. You are not your darkness, Damon.” I admitted softly.His hands framed my face, trembling. “I’ve done terrible things in the past…”I pressed my fingers in his lips, silencing him. “You are my mate, my king, the man I love. That’s all I care about.”He pulled me against his chest again, burying his

  • The Alpha's Vengeance   CHAPTER 68

    AURORAI lay awake long after Damon’s breathing had steadied beside me. The moonlight spilled across his face. Even in his sleep, there was a tension in him; his brow furrowed.I reached out and brushed my fingertip against his cheek. My warrior, my king. The father of my child, now haunted by ghosts I couldn’t see.My mind wandered to Trinity pack, Lyon had told me stories like this; of how warriors finding it hard to move on from certain battles.Some even drink themselves to numbness. Lyon had told me about a seer, who lived in the northern mountains; in a place no pack claimed the land.The seer can walk through a warrior's mind and pluck out the roots of fear and grief as if tending to a garden.I rose silently from the bed, padding barefoot across the room to the small chest where I kept my travel cloak.I ran my finger over the fabric, feeling the weight of my choice. “Forgive me, my love. But I can’t stand and watch you drown in this.” I whispered, glancing back at his sleepin

    DAMONA loud knock disrupted me from my quiet time with Aurora. I stood abruptly and opened the door.Standing there was a guard. His head bowed. “My king, a messenger dropped this; this letter was found among Alpha Eden’s things. It’s addressed to you.”I took the letter, my heart thudding as I recognized the handwriting. I close the door behind the guard.I sat on the bed, staring at the folded parchment before finally breaking the seal.“Damon,If you are reading this, then I am already dead. There is no excuse I can give you, no words that can undo what I have done to you, and to Aurora.I was angry, jealous, and blind… but most of all, I was weak. I let my father poison my mind until I couldn’t tell my own thoughts from his commands.You were always the better Alpha, Damon. Same as your father. That’s why he hated you and your family. He couldn’t destroy your father, so he thought he could destroy you; by using me.If there’s anything left of the bond we once had, listen to me n

    AURORAI had been restless all day, pacing the palace grounds like a caged animal. Still no word from Damon.Aaron’s reassurances echoed in my head, “He’s fine, he will win this battle.” but my spirit refused to settle.My eyes scanned the courtyard, the aftermath of war laid bare before me. The stench of blood lingered in the air.Bodies of Moonshadow warriors lay alongside the fallen rogues who dared invade.So much loss, too much. I whispered a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess that it would end now; I couldn’t bear more.“My queen,” a voice came from behind.I turned sharply and met Daisy’s gaze. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her face pale with exhaustion.But I felt nothing for her; not pity, not forgiveness. I had given my compassion too freely in the past, and it had nearly cost me everything.Now I had a family to protect, and there was no room for weakness. Daisy stepped forward, her voice trembling.“I’m leaving, my queen. I can’t stay here… not after what I’ve done. P

    DAMONMy voice cut through the tension, low but sharp. “Tell me, Eden… did you betray me for your ambition, or for this?”Eden’s glare darted to me. “Stay out of this.”“Oh, I'm very much in this, two years you’ve been running from me, Eden. All that time, you thought you were playing your game; but really, you were just a pawn in his.” I said, leaning against the restraints.Eden’s jaw clenched.Fabian scoffed. “Don’t listen to him, Son. He’s trying to…”“Trying to what? Open his eyes? Remind him you fed him lies, turned him against me? You promised him Moonshadow, but you never intended to give it to him. You wanted it for yourself.” My tone was almost mocking.Eden’s breathing grew heavier, his fist tightening at his sides.“You see it now, don’t you? He doesn’t care about you, Eden. You’re just his weapon for a meaningless revenge.” I pressed.Fabian stepped forward, “That’s enough.” his voice a dangerous growl.But I wasn’t done. My eyes locked on Eden’s. “You and I know betrayal

    AURORAI sat at the window of our chambers, Declan curled up asleep in my lap. The sun was dipping low, casting long golden shadows across the courtyard, but my heart felt anything but calm.Something was wrong. I had been restless since Damon left, pacing, glancing toward the gates as if sheer willpower could bring him home faster.As I stroked my son’s hair, a sudden, sharp ache gripped my chest. Oprah entered quietly with a tray of tea, but paused mid-step.“My child, are you well? You look pale.”“Something is wrong, something’s happened.” my gaze fixed on the horizon.Oprah set the tray down, frowning. “You don’t know that for sure…”“I do,” my voice was low, certain. I moved to the balcony after dropping Declan on the cushion. Scanning the distant forests. A cool wind swept in, carrying with it a faint scent of blood and steel.Not literally, but as if my bond with Damon was whispering it to me.“Damon,” I whispered, gripping the railings until my knuckles turned white.At that
