Aurora’s POV:I laid with my back to the bed whilst reading one of the several books that had been sent to me this past week from ‘Gerald’. I wanted to know if the person was real, and most of all, I wanted to be sure that it was my father before I involved Klaus in it.The book I was currently reading was about a soldier who had gone to war only to go back home several months later to find his wife in the arms of another. The one before this was about a young lad who was an explorer. He was just as smart…if not more than Albert Einstein but had gone missing in a storm. Sadly, his mom never recovered from this.I tilted the book to the side and sighed; “none of this was making any sense.”Nothing in them could be linked to my father, and worse still, they were bland stories with no special meanings.My mom had long gone on a walk with my children, leaving me to myself, and so there was no one I could talk to at the moment. Out of boredom, I began to read through the book again, and th
Aurora’s POV:I laughed, cried, and sobbed because I was unable to make out coherent words. I still hadn’t answered his question yet, I couldn’t bring myself to.How was I? Do I say fine? Do I say happy? How exactly was I?My father was patient with me. I could hear his steady breathing and his light laughter over the phone. There were times he even tried to calm me down by whispering soothing words to me but he never rushed me. He never said anything insensitive to me but simply listened to me as I bawled my eyes out.After about a few minutes, I heard him sigh. He asked again; “how are you?”At the sound of his voice, I raised my head. Slowly, I wiped off the tears that had stained my face but just as I did, another came rushing down. I chuckled; “I feel a lot better now, papa,” I whispered.A smile formed on my face as I imagined him nodding his head at me because that was one thing he always did. The call went silent for a while and I had to be the one to break the ice. I asked
Aurora’s POV:“Are you cheating on me?!” He barked again furiously and I could only shake my head in negation. I was speechless. I didn’t know what to say to him, I didn’t even know what to do as I slowly placed the phone on the bed.Klaus eyed it angrily and with a scowl evident on his face, he barked; “Who did you just say you loved over the phone?”“No one… he’s a nobody,” I rushed out, and to my utmost horror, Klaus shook his head. He had a look of pure disgust plastered on his face and with a dismissive shrug, he took several steps away from me.“You’re cheating…?”His blatant accusation made my mouth fall open in shock. Of all the things to accuse me of, I was shocked that he had chosen to go with infidelity. Angrily, I planted my hands on my hips and snapped; “No, I’m not! I’m not a cheat!”“But your body says otherwise!” I was taken aback when he said that, and for a minute, I could swear that I swooned. Tears pooled in my eyes as I slumped into bed, all the while, I contempl
Aurora’s POV: “Call Jeremy,” she commanded in a fierce tone. My eyebrows perked up in askance as I folded my arms across my chest. Naturally one should be scared but I wasn’t, especially as I had begun to feel a surge of power course through my veins. “Who’s Jeremy?” I asked her instead, noticing how her lips curved downward into a sneer. She scoffed and with an eye roll, she snapped at me; “Do not try to pretend that you do not know who Jeremy is!” I stared at her in confusion. I was confused because first off, I didn’t know who the hell Jeremy was, and worst of all, I had no idea why I would be calling anyone simply because she asked me to. I frowned. “Well, I don’t.” “Aurora,” she warned threateningly, “Do it. Do not force me to pull this trigger.” Something about the way she said it made me even angrier than I already was. I planted both of my hands on my waist as I took a step closer to her. “You wouldn’t dare!” I spat. Now, the power coursing through my veins was overwhe
Aurora’s POV: “I told you, he’s Father’s new lawyer!” She cried defiantly, struggling under Ian’s hold but as expected, the latter didn’t let go of her. “And why do you think I’ll know where he is when you never even told me you employed him in the first place?!” I bit back at her with equal fierceness, causing her to gulp. She muttered something under her breath that sounded strangely akin to an insult and I cocked my eyebrows at her as I stepped closer to her. When she saw this, she dropped her head but then took several steps away from me. “I know you spy on me… and wor—” She started to say but before the words could leave her mouth, I snapped my fingers in her face and snarled; “You’re not that important that I would waste my time spying on you,” I heard the muffled laughs from Ian and the soldier standing directly behind him. My eyes darted in their direction for a brief moment before I turned back to Emily who still had a scowl on her face. I ignored her piercing stares a
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 had
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
