Aurora’s POV: In a crazed frenzy, I threw all of my stuff about the now empty room but still, there were no traces of my mom or the children anywhere. Tears streamed down my face in torrents, almost blinding my vision but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t bring myself to. My body shook with fear, and at the same time, I was confused and angry. As I stumbled across the room, looking for something, anything that could act as a clue, the only thing I could think of was why my mother would do a thing like this to me. She was supposed to stand by me, to protect me and the babies! Heck, she was supposed to be my mother! Frustrated tears leaked out of my eyes and with a scream, I fell to the floor, shaking as a combination of horror and panic tore through me. Klaus stepped into the room shortly afterward and when he saw the messy state of the place and the empty baby cot, he exhaled. His eyes landed on me but he did not attempt to come close. Obviously, he was still mad at me about the issue we
Aurora’s POV:The first thing I did when I arrived downstairs and met my mother being held by two soldiers was to yell in her face. I was beyond mad and the fact that she had not even an ounce of emotion on her face made me even angrier.“Mother why?!” I growled in tears. “Why would you do something like this? What do you stand to gain?!”My body shook with anger as instead of responding to me, she smiled. For a minute, I had this irresistible urge to hit her, to strike her, or to do anything to her to inflict her pain… but I could not. I knew how dangerous I could be and I couldn’t risk hurting her too much due to anger.Frustration swelled within me, and without thinking, I snatched my babies out of the grip of the soldiers who held them. I thought about giving them to a maidservant to take them to my room but immediately decided against that.I was scared and skeptical. If I couldn’t trust my mother with my kids then who the hell could I trust with them?Just then, Klaus and Ian st
Aurora’s POV:I was confused. I don’t know what to do or say. I didn’t even know where to go from here or what steps to take after everything that has happened.My heart hurt at the thought of being with a total stranger for a month while my mother was held captive in an underground bunker in Seychelles… and I never noticed. What was worse was that I had told her everything… well aside from the fact that my father was still alive though.Now, thinking about it, it wasn’t such a bad idea to keep it away from everyone but somehow, I knew that I had to tell Klaus about it one way or the other. With this new resolve in mind, I tucked my babies into bed, placed a child monitor between them, and stepped out of the room with all the books that my father sent to me in my hands; and that was after locking the door. Now I was more careful with them. I didn’t trust anyone anymore.I walked slowly to his room, using the opportunity to ponder over everything that has been happening. I didn’t know
Aurora‘a POV: Klaus leaned close to me like a child straining for attention as he struggled to eavesdrop. I couldn’t keep my smile at bay as I brought my phone to my ear, and with a lift in my mood, I muttered ;“Hello?”“Hello daughter,” my father greeted back, and as soon as Klaus heard that, he stumbled away from me with wide eyes.Wordlessly, he pointed to me and then back at the phone, and I didn’t need any soothsayer to know that he was indirectly trying to confirm if what he was hearing was true. I smiled and nodded.“How are you?”“I am fine, Papa,” I responded, and then eyeing Klaus, I added; “…and you?”My father chuckled lightly. His deep voice rang through the phone and when he spoke some seconds later, I couldn’t help but notice how he sounded like he was in such a good mood.He said; “I am okay… Life’s good. How’s your mother, and your kids?”I contemplated telling him about my mother’s situation. I wasn’t sure I could talk to him about it yet, especially as I didn’t kn
Aurora’s POV:Savannah pushed through the door, even before being asked to. As she stalked into the room, I couldn’t help but notice how her eyes were trained on Klaus. She stared at him like he was food… and me? I was the pesky little nuisance.However, I was snapped out of my thoughts when she waved in my face, and with her eyes glued on Klaus’ face, she said;“I’ve come with a proposition,”I glanced up at her, panting and scoffing. I was pissed, not only because she was so arrogant but also because she had interrupted something. My body still ached from Klaus’ touch and now, I had the rage of an unsatisfied woman burning up within me.Klaus, who noticed my discomfort, smiled at me. He nodded and then, glancing back at Savannah, he spat; “What about?”“Us.”I had no idea what she meant by that. All I knew was that it made me uncomfortable. By us, what does she mean? I pondered over this information, but then, deciding to shrug it off my chest… for now, I turned back to the conversa
I can tell you the exact moment when everything in my life began to crash and burn. The time when everything came tumbling down and I no longer knew what I stood for. The familiar became the foreign and I was left with nowhere to go and no one to run to.It all happened when my best friend and boyfriend chose his mate… by himself, tossing me to the curb like I was nothing more than a piece of crap to him from the very beginning.Michael and I had been a thing for most of my life. We started off as friends in kindergarten, and when we became early teenagers, we turned into best friends.When I turned fifteen, the feeling of friendship quickly blossomed into romance. He asked me to be his girlfriend and I accepted, and ever since then, we became inseparable.Everyone who knew us knew that we were a thing, and in this small pack of ours, it was impossible for anyone not to know us. I clung to him like a vice, almost suffocating him with love but did he ever complain?Hell no!Michael happ
Aurora’s POVMichael broke up with me over the phone later that day, but he did it in the middle of the night, probably expecting that I would be asleep by then but I wasn’t.In fact, I was at my friend, Jasmine’s house, devouring a large cone of ice cream to calm my nerves when I got the notification of his text.Jasmine and I had been really close around freshman year, but then we drifted apart a little because that was exactly when Michael had decided to step up our friendship game a notch, and like the bitch that I was, I had abandoned her, focusing instead on the stupid thing I had going on with Michael; and now I regretted it.I couldn’t even look into her eyes for fear of what she would say to me about it. Fortunately, she said nothing… until Michael texted.“So this is it?” She cried incredulously, pointing at the screen of my phone as if it was some sort of vile object. “He’s just gonna dump you after everything? Even when you’re both mates?!”At the mention of the word ‘mate
Aurora’s POV“I love it here! I could live in this moment forever!” I screamed drunkenly, smiling when the loud music drowned out my loud voice.Jasmine and I giggled as the waiter popped two shots of tequila in front of us. As it stood, we were already on our eleventh shots and we were crazy drunk but we didn’t want to stop, not when it was a lot more fun here than in our different realities.After the shocking revelation of Jasmine’s and Trevor’s sour love life, she had decided that we came here to forget, and that was what we intended to do!We both gulped down our shots, laughing hysterically as the liquid burned its way down our chests to our stomachs and as soon as it hit our guts, we jumped up, screaming like crazy banshees as we ran to the dance floor.For the first time in my life, I felt free, I lived freely and danced freely… all on my terms. Because Jasmine and I had gone on our own, we had no dance partners and decided to dance with each other instead.The chilly December
