LOGINDamianThe doctor had scheduled the next meeting for tomorrow morning, hopeful that Aurora would be awake by then, and I guess he was right in his speculations.It has not been easy on Aaron, having Aurora asleep for two days now after being discharged from the pack clinic, whereas she had already spent three days in that hospital unconscious, making a total of five days since that ambush.So far, Dad and the elders are handling the investigation and had summoned Liam, but he denied ever having a hand in the attack, and since no evidence has been found yet, Dad and the elders believe he is telling the truth.But I don’t know yet. I had informed them of my own clues about those wolves, and also made them understand those wolves aren’t from Darkshades, but with little to no evidence, the case has been left hanging in waiting while security is tightened across the two divisions of Darkshades.And speaking of Liam, ever since the previous day at the hospital when I woke up, I haven’t seen
Aurora “Like what you see?” He asked softly.But I didn't have any answers.My eyes remained fixed on the dishes.It was a combination of different dishes, all enticing and alluring, to say the least. Mashed potatoes and richly sauced chicken, broccoli stew, a soft pancake, grilled rice, and small berries arranged neatly on a plate.I found myself staring at the meal longer than necessary as my appetite surged and heightened, followed by a sudden rush of memories that came flooding back, sharp and unexpected.I was a Beta’s daughter, so one would assume I was used to good meals before everything fell apart, but no.It felt strangely foreign to be served such a carefully prepared spread, and even more unsettling to be watched by a man who sat there silently, as though willing me to start eating already.“Since you haven't had anything proper these past five days, it's only wise you start eating already. Unless, of course, you want me to feed you?” His lips curled knowingly to the side
Aurora “Thank the moon you are awake.” I straightened, settling into a strange chill I didn’t know could ever be possible just from his presence in this room. He was so calm, so alive.Like really, truly alive and strong. His eyes sparkled with a sharpened intensity, his hair styled backwards, leaving just a few loose strands falling over his forehead. He wore simple golden joggers and a matching polo that accentuated the sculpted muscles of his chest beneath the fabric.His eyes held a quiet warmth as he took a few steps forward. Something in my chest skipped as his fresh scent wrapped around me.“You scared the shit out of everyone,” he said, his voice low, almost a whisper, yet I heard it clearly as Alpha Damian stopped just a few inches away from me.Silence stretched between us, his gaze never leaving mine as it carried a certain possessiveness. I told myself I could have just imagined it.But I was relieved, no, more than relieved, that he was healthy and alive, and a part of m
Damian “Alpha, so far, she’s stable,” Doctor Andrew said, his tone calm but measured. “I’ll need to review her latest test results to determine whether discharging her today is even an option.”“But she isn’t awake yet,” I pointed out, my voice edged with concern as Doctor Andrew gave a small, knowing smile.“That’s because of the injections she was given. There’s no cause for alarm. Her body needs rest… real rest, to allow her wolf’s healing process to function properly. Still, I’ll go through the reports and get back to you as soon as I can.” He explained patiently. “He turned and began to walk away, leaving me alone with Dad. But just before he completely stepped out of the room, his voice slipped into my head through the mindlink. Even though it was faint, it was clear enough for me to catch.‘If you don’t mind, Alpha, I strongly suggest you keep anything concerning your mate’s abilities to yourself for now… at least until we understand what we’re dealing with.’My brows furrow
“Thank the moon you finally woke, Alpha.” The doctor’s voice broke through as he stepped in.“I must say you have a very strong wolf and spirit to have recovered this much in just three days.” He added, a hint of disbelief in his tone, “My head snapped toward him.“Three days?”“Yeah… you see, the level to which the silver traveled through your blood couldn't have left you with more than a week to fully clear up, but in your case, it was even faster.”Doctor Andrew’s voice interrupted the silly fantasy in my head, and I turned to meet his gaze as they dropped to Aurora, lying on the next bed to mine.“How is she, doctor? What’s her current condition?” I asked quickly, my attention snapping fully to him.He gave a faint, unreadable smile, as though weighing how much to reveal before answering.“How about I tell you how lucky you are instead? You have a mate who not only survived wolfsbane and silver in her system, but also managed to trigger LSH production under such extreme conditio
DamianThe machines screamed to life again, their sharp, relentless beeping drilling straight into my skull as the sound swallowed the entire room.The doctor and nurses rushed in immediately, their movements urgent, almost frantic. Dad turned toward me, gripping my arms tightly as if I might fall apart in his hands.“Alpha Damian, you need to calm down. You aren’t stable enough for your pulse to spike like this,” He said firmly, his voice strained as he glanced toward the Dad.“I knew this was a bad idea, Alpha King,” the doctor snapped, already turning to the nurses. “Get me the syringe. Now.”Footsteps scattered in every direction. Metal clanged. Voices overlapped.“I need you to stay calm, Alpha Damian,” the doctor continued, sharper this time. “You’re putting yourself at risk, your wolf, your recovery, everything. The silver in your system was severe even though in small quantity. You’re only just stabilizing, and if you lose control now…”He didn’t finish. He didn’t need to, bec
Damian Just then, an arrow shot out from the shadows, cutting straight toward the convoy…It slammed into the side of the first car with a violent thud that made the air feel charged with brutal force.For a split second, everything went still.Only barking orders echoed through the mind link.“Ev
DamianI don’t even have any explanation whatsoever for what pulled at my actions just a few moments ago, when I had tried to wipe those tears from her eyes.For fuck’s sake, what the hell was that feeling that tugged so sharply at me? The same force I had absolutely no control over. The same press
AuroraIt broke me even more in ways I didn't even realize. In ways I hadn't even seen coming. Normally, I had thought over it briefly as the guard had arrived, and I knew quite well what to expect with the pack lands being divided, but then again, I hadn't know this part of me that would break utt
DamianI sniffed softly and watched as she took slow, measured steps forward, each one deliberate, each one careful, like the kind taken by someone who had no idea what lay ahead, yet had no choice but to keep moving.I turned my gaze away, forcing myself to look at the guards, at anything else, as
