Alaric’s POV

She didn't care.

That hurt more than anything.

What had happened to make her this way?

I couldn't stop Aurora from leaving, my heart was heavy. Though I tried to not let it bother me, it was impossible.

She was always good at enduring, but what else could I do? She hadn't ever acted like this before.

I had assured her time and time again that nothing was truly happening between Seraphina and me. Was that not enough?

“Ric,” Seraphina’s voice was soft and as I raised my gaze, I met h

    Alaric’s POVI watched until the last second that Rosalie’s life was finally extinguished. It felt like a weight had finally been lifted off my chest.Aurora fell silent, and the hall seemed to be in a standstill.Our men stood aside, their breaths barely audible.Then suddenly Aurora turned and said, “it’s done. Finally.”Even in my wolf form, there was a stirring of satisfaction that mirrored the look in her eyes.It wasn't due to cruelty. It was due to the fact that the nightmare both of us had been through was finally over.Finally,But suddenly her head snapped up and she whirled around, I didn't understand for a second.“It’s leaving,” she whispered, and I tilted my head in confusion.What was leaving?However I was soon shown exactly what.The sight of Rosalie’s body suddenly trembling, crumbling into dark ash, and a black smoke rushing out with a speed that I nearly missed.Aurora’s hands formed a symbol and she rushed to catch it. Silver chains woven into a wide net descende

    Aurora’s POVBefore any more words could be exchanged, I lashed with a wave of my power, strengthened by the Blood Moon’s pure energy.Rosalie Blackwood’s barrier faced another onslaught, leaving holes in the barrier that were slow to fix themselves.She was not as strong as I ever could be. Even in my bound state, I was much more powerful.I wanted to laugh in her face, and I wanted, even more so, to laugh at my past self. In my past life this was the same woman I feared, fretting about like an ant on a hot pan thinking that one move from her could destroy everything I worked hard to build.Only now, I could see the truth.She had nothing, and she WAS nothing.Me? I was a Luna, born with a true Luna’s essence, and by blood, a royal descendant.Even in her most powerful state, she could never have hoped to match up to me.“Alaric,” I yelled his name, signalling him to move once my blows against the barrier intensified. I felt the heat in my body intensify so much that it made my scalp

    Rosali Blackwood’s POVI had been lucky to get a chance to escape. If not for my remembering the Blood Moon was upon us, or feeling the strength of that pure energy that made my appetite rise, I wouldn't have gotten the energy to even leave the prison.I heard it from the prison guards that I was going to be executed today.At first I did not believe it. I had hated the idea of my schemes being turned around. I had blood oaths binding this pack’s leader to me.No one in this pack, with him as the Alpha and under my thumb, should have been able to touch me.Why did I have to die? Unless…When I checked the status of the blood oath, I felt a wave of backlash that nearly had me spitting blood.It was gone.The blood oath signed by Alaric without his knowledge. Gone. Even the one signed willingly by the rogue leader Zephyr. Also vanished into thin air, burned through by some invisible force.No.They were all turning against me.WHY did they have to all turn against me?The air in the ha

    Aurora’s POVUpon returning to the guest bedroom which was now more mine than ever, I closed the door and felt my chest ache with the sound.Meeting Alaric of this life was complicated when I was reborn. But it wasn’t the same as meeting Alaric with memories of the past life and what he did to me. That cut was far deeper, and our bonds were more tainted.However, this too brought me some measure of relief.I had long felt the ache from the last life’s actions, that it couldn’t be explained to Alaric of this life no matter how much I forced myself to try.This time I didn't need to explain anything, because he already understood.‘Does this change anything?’ Amber asked through the mindlink. ‘Would you have agreed to stay if it had been THIS Alaric that asked?’I pressed my lips together.‘There's no time to think about that,’ I said, glancing around the room. ‘Only to move forward.’So, in the best way I knew how, I did my best to do just that.Whether this would make it difficult for

    Aurora’s POVWhen I went down the stairs with Asher, I could hear voices emerging from the dining hall.Breakfast was already well underway and I walked in, meeting Alaric’s gaze frim across the room.“Look who’s awake,” it was Elder Miriam’s coice that jolted me jnto attention and I glanced at her, looking over her from where I stood. “It’s my favorite grandson.”I scowled though a hint of amusement was in my glare.“Funny, Elder Miriam. Your favorite grandson is my favorite too,” I joked, moving to take my seat to Alaric’s right.Asher moved to greet Elder Miriam first, warning himself a handful of candies that I have no idea where she got them from. Did she just keep candies on her for no reason at all?I nodded silently to Sylvia whi sat two seats away on the other side of the table. She was preoccupied with eating, but smiled and nodded as she ate another mouthful of French toast.Glancing at Zephyr next to me, I asked, “How do you feel?”“Much better, my lady,” he said. “You sle

    Aurora's POVIt wasn't until another hour before I finally drifted off.The dreams that swarmed in my head after sleep continued to fill a void in my head.I found myself staring into a scene, watching from an invisible observer’s view as several people talked. The words hit my ears, but I found I could hardly process them, only switching to another scene like it was as easy as flipping a page.I watched the scenes, bit by bit, pulling information into my mind.This time, when I woke up, it didn't feel as heavy as when I had previously regained some memories.Instead, that knowledge settled over me, as if they had been there all along without the pressure.Was it the Blood Moon? Was that why getting those revelations back had become as easy as blinking?I stared up at the ceiling, my emotions swirling in a conflicted manner.I had seen my parents. In my dream I had watched them argue with several people trying to get me taken in before I was even born. I had seen my mother’s swollen b
