Darius's POV

Kieran was pissed. I could see it in the way his jaw clenched, the way his fingers twitched at his sides as he tried to keep his anger in check. He was putting on a show, acting as if he was unfazed, but I could tell dancing with Aurora, being all naughty in front of everyone, had gotten under his skin.

Good.

It was so satisfying seeing him like this. While I teased Aurora, I had watched him shift uncomfortably so many times in his seat. I knew it was a matter of time before he gave in and when he approached us on the dance floor, his expression was tight, forced into something that resembled calmness.

“Would you mind if I borrowed Aria for a dance?” he asked.

I glanced at Aurora. She was looking at Kieran, her expression was blank. I could sense some unwillingliness in her, hoping deep down she'd stand up to him, ask him to fuck off and provoke him. Perhaps, if Kieran lashed out, I'd have a reason to intervene, to protect her as a guest in my pack. As Lycan King, I

  • The Luna's Second Chance   100. The End

    Aurora’s POV It’s been two months since the battle. Blood had soaked the earth and Alaric’s reign of terror ended along with his life.I felt lighter now, free of fear and secrets. I could finally clear my thoughts of every revenge and hatred I had bottled in for a long while.Alaric was gone. He was killed during the attack. Darius gave him a chance to surrender and face the consequences of his actions but he had pronounced outrightly that he wouldn't be taken alive. The final blow was eventually delivered by Darius himself. A clean, brutal end for a man who never knew mercy. The council had declared the matter closed, and the werewolf world turned a new page.Kieran and Avery left the Emberfang pack willingly when they heard Ezra would be taking over. I hadn’t spoken to either of them, and I didn’t plan to. Aria had vanished shortly after. Rumor had it she left the country. No one knew her exact location and to be honest, I didn’t care. Ezra was now the Alpha of Emberfang, and it

    Aurora’s Pov “Fine. I’ll tell you the truth.”The words came out of Alaric’s mouth like venom, slow, deliberate, and without no hint of remorse in his voice. I knew he was relishing and anticipating the emotions that would gush from me once he starts spilling out the truth. I stood still, my heartbeat pounding in my ears as I stared at the man I had once looked up to and called father. He ran his tongue along his lower lip and I could see the faint curl of satisfaction in the corner of his lips. I was right about my speculations, he was definitely enjoying this.“I massacred them,” he began with a low unapologetic voice that was devoid of remorse. “Your entire pack.”“The Silvercrest pack burned because I made it so. I took you with me because even then, I knew you’d be useful but now if I could go back…” he sneered, stepping closer to me with a mocking face, “I’d have killed you right there next to your weakass Alpha father.”The air left my lungs in one sharp exhale.My fingers cu

    Aurora’s PovThe morning after Darius proposed still felt so surreal. Months back, if anyone had told me I would be waking up in Darius’s bed with a Paraíba Tourmalines ring in my finger, I definitely would have scoffed at them. I kept staring at the ring on my finger like it was a dream I might wake up from. Every time I turned my hand, the soft glint of the moonstone caught the light, reminding me it wasn’t a dream. I was engaged. To Darius.I wasn’t sure what scared me more. How much I loved him or how deeply he’d rooted himself in my life. He had moved my things to his room saying he sleeps better with me by his side. Waking up daily to see his face felt like the final jigsaw in my life that was missing and now he had officially announced me to be his. I felt him stir beside him, raising up head to look at him. He smiled at me and my heart sang with delight. “Good morning, Sunshine,” he pulled me into a warm kiss before I could respond.Pulling back from the kiss, I smiled shee

  • The Luna's Second Chance   97. Engagement

    Aurora's POV I still couldn’t believe how fast things had changed between Darius and me. It felt surreal. Waking up each morning in his arms, feeling Terra curled in satisfaction inside me, and knowing I wasn’t just someone passing through anymore. I was home. Not just in the Lunaris Dominion pack, but with him.We were dating. Officially. And for the first time in my life, that didn’t terrify me.But then Darius dropped a bomb on me.“I want to announce about you being my mate during the summit period,” he said one afternoon while at Northshore University Hospital in his office sipping coffee after a quickie. I nearly dropped my cup.It wasn't news at the hospital that we were now dating and I was one of the people heading the hospital.“Excuse me?” I blinked. He turned to me, calm and unwavering, like he wasn’t just suggesting one of the most dramatic public declarations that would bring up lots of questions in both human and werewolves world. “I want to tell them all at the dinn

  • The Luna's Second Chance   96. Vulnerable Hearts

    Aurora's POV I shut my eyes, avoiding looking into his eyes, I felt his fingertip trace my lips reverently. Whatever was going through his head, I wanted it as well. I parted my lips to say something. Anything. To tell him I also wanted it but before words could come out, his mouth captured mine, kissing me deeply. His tongue traced the soft fullness of her lips before capturing it again. Relieved he was alive, the warmth I didn't know I needed and Terra's emotion seeping into mine broke down my wall. The tears prickling in eyes that I had fought to blinked away came rolling down my cheeks. The moment our lips parted, I sniffled and quickly wiped them away, trying to breathe, to smile, to pretend everything was okay. But Darius had already seen them. His brows furrowed immediately, and the warmth in his eyes shifted to concern.“I’m sorry,” he said in a low, urgent tone, pulling back slightly. “I shouldn’t have kissed you. Not like that. I got carried away. I…”“No,” I whispered,

  • The Luna's Second Chance   95. Poison and Confession

    Aurora’s Pov The summit was meant to be in a month's time and as it draws nearer, I can't help but have this uneasiness, my stomach churning just thinking about it. The entire pack was buzzing with activity. Meetings were held at odd hours, warriors trained longer and harder, and every high-ranking wolf had something to contribute to the logistics. I had no interest in politics, but Darius asked me to help him and Ezra with the coordination. So, I did even though all my instinct screamed against it.I thought the uneasiness would stop since I was helping oversee the preparation but it wasn’t helping matters. I can't help but shake off the feeling something bad was going to happen. Between my hospital shifts, werewolf medicine training, and building networks with other doctors and businessmen with Darius, I found time to organize files, read through reports, and even schedule meetings with the event planners. It was overwhelming at times, but I couldn't deny the strange sense of pri

    Aurora's POV Getting to the pack house, Darius led me to a room. I stood frozen in the doorway, hesitant to enter as he opened the room, my eyes scanned the room with a mix of unease and resentment. "My quarters are across, if you need anything." The thought of having him just across the hall made my heart flutter instantly, an emotion I didn't expect which was obviously from Terra who was leaping with joy in my head.He looked at me then, his eyes steady, seeing how hesitated I was, he took my hands and pulled me gently into the room. Leading me to the sofa in the room."You’re not a prisoner here, Aurora," he said. "You’re free to do whatever you want."I scoffed. "Doesn’t feel that way."He smiled faintly, the kind of smile that made my chest tighten against my will."You can go back to work at Northshore University Hospital," Darius said, surprising me. "Your life in the human city doesn’t have to stop."I blinked at him. "Then why bring me here at all? To force me to be your m

    Aurora’s Pov I stared blankly at my phone, as I read Lily's shocking revelations on the screen once again. Its been two weeks the article got published. It wasn't just the werewolf communities that were shaken. The human world reacted even more violently. The two worlds were in an uproar, and I couldn't blame them. The names of the Alphas running the clubs and trafficking rings had been exposed, and their human world businesses were being dismantled.I knew the impact this would have on them. The Alphas were respected businessmen in the human world, with reputations built on charm and deceit. Now, their empires were crumbling.The fallout was more massive than even I expected, the world practically caught fire immediately the news went live. News outlets plastered photos of the high-profile businessmen and Alphas with some VIP members including Lily’s picture. Thw Alphas companies had been seized. Their assets frozen. Their names dragged through the mud I couldn't even walk down th

  • The Luna's Second Chance   92. Distance Between Us

    Darius's POV I sat behind my desk, my fingers drummed distractedly on the desk in of me. I was lost in thoughts of the events of the past few months from the moment Aurora and I had shared an intimate moment together. Four months.It had been four damn months since the weekend that she stormed out of my life like a hurricane, refusing to even look in my direction since then. I leaned back in my chair, the leather creaking under my weight, and closed my eyes. I let my mind replayed that disastrous weekend. I made the mistake of letting her find out she was my mate. What I heard feared did happened. She wasn't ready to know."Stupid Magnus,” I muttered. And then there was George’s call.It felt like yesterday when he had called me to inform me that Aurora had asked him to publish everything about Lily online through one of his trusted bloggers online. I could still remember gripping my phone so tightly I almost cracked it in two. I'd told her I would handle it but she doesn't trust
