Aurora

I felt really lively and alive as I awoke this morning. I was still in the pajamas and the single-strand top that came with the pants, the same blue color blend that matched those of Damian from before.

It seemed that was one of the colors he loved the most. Speaking of which, after he changed and left yesterday, I hadn’t seen him anywhere around again. I had eventually drifted off to sleep and was later woken up by the same maids from earlier who had brought in supper. I hadn’t even rea

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   49: Beneath HIS facade

    Aurora “If you say so, then who do you suspect could have been behind that? Please note, we are dealing with food and water here. Otherwise, the wolfsbane must have been directly injected into your system. Or do you recall any other possible means among the listed?” The doctor asked. I sniffed softly, my chest tightening, and Damian must have noticed the shift in me because he nudged me gently. That simple touch carried a quiet reassurance, a calm that slowly wrapped around me, though it didn’t completely settle the storm within. “You know you can do this. We are all concerned about this news, it’s strange to me as well,” he said softly. I lowered my head, uncertainty clouding my thoughts, my voice hesitant as I finally forced the words out, feeling the weight of every gaze fixed on me. “I don't know… but if anyone in the pack house would have wanted to hurt me, then it should be…” My voice cracked painfully at the edge, betraying me. “…it should be Alpha Liam.” The name left my

    “…from the blood work, it appears the silver was only introduced during that attack,” he continued. “However…” he paused briefly, as though choosing his words carefully, “...the wolfsbane had already been present in her system beforehand.”The room seemed to still.“It was preexisting, and its effects were only intensified by additional exposure,” he added quietly.I felt the brutal shift in Damian’s expression.His gaze hardened instantly, something dark and sharp flashing through his eyes as confusion, anger, and something else entirely collided within him. He turned to look at me, searching, questioning… before snapping his attention back to the doctor.“Preexisting?”“Are you saying there has been traces of wolfsbane in her system even before now?”“I’m afraid, yes,” he confirmed, his tone grave as his attention shifted fully to me. “Can you remember anything, anything at all, that might be connected to this situation?” he asked carefully.I shook my head almost immediately. “No…

    A few people sat there, their faces drawn with worry, their eyes restless. Some stared at nothing, others clutched onto hope that looked like it might slip away at any moment.And just like that, the unease returned.My pulse skipped.Then quickened.And suddenly, the memories came rushing back, the ones I had buried so deeply I had almost convinced myself they didn’t exist.The scene that had added to the series of nightmares, precisely the second on the list of my nightmares. Exactly thirteen years ago, when I was only five. But watching this scene only brought back the memories like fresh wounds.The sobs, the whimpers, and the desperate hope for life as I stood alone, a five years old, coiled into myself, the evening air brushing against my young, tender skin, sending different taunting sensations through me.“Are you sure you want to do this? I can get you back to the packhouse and invite the doctor over instead,” Damian’s voice cut into my thoughts, and I tensed, grounding mysel

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   46: At the hospital

    AuroraWhen Damian kissed me, truthfully, I wasn’t expecting it at all, and it hit me like a sudden explosion that sent intense sparks racing through my brain cells.The reaction was instant, the feeling… so unreal. Everything around me seemed to disappear, and my mind, my body, slowly melted into it. In that moment, it became everything I had ever wanted without even knowing I wanted it.Goddess… I had never felt anything so surreal and so real at the same time as what I felt within that short period, and somehow, I didn’t want him to stop at all.But eventually, he stopped and pulled away. At first, I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me, but slowly reality came crashing in so hard that my cheeks burned in shades of purple and red.Damian noticed and gently pulled me into a hug… a hug I didn’t want to pull away from either, at least for reasons I didn’t yet fully understand. I felt like there was a connection I couldn’t break away from, at least… not that I wanted to anyway.A

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   45: Melting into my kiss

    DamianI know I’m not supposed to let her stay even a second longer around me. I shouldn’t even be standing in the same space she breathes in. She had wronged me in the past, carved something ugly into my chest, and trying to shed that weight meant she had to remain far, very far, away from me.But when Darius dropped to the ground, his knees hitting the floor with a dull thud, tears burning in his eyes, something inside my chest cracked open in a way I hadn’t prepared for.Diala… or Crystal, as she had called herself, stood there on the verge of breaking too, her eyes glistening, her lips trembling like she was holding back a sob. And somehow… that sight gutted me. It tore through my resolve like it was nothing. I had to give her just one week, just one damn week, like Darius suggested.Otherwise, I would take matters into my own hands and investigate her myself. Because nothing about her made sense. She didn’t carry the pack bond. There was no trace of any familiar pack scent clingi

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   44: Darius

    DialaAfter the meal, I slowly lifted my gaze, offering my thanks to the Alpha and his Luna-to-be. My attention shifted to Darius; he looked more than delighted, completely absorbed in sharing this moment with Crystal… sorry, with me, since I was the Crystal he believed I was.Alpha Damian’s gaze lingered on me far longer than necessary, his eyes holding a quiet intensity that didn’t go unnoticed.But his attention shifted subtly when his mate stirred, and he waved, and everyone stood up from their seats, leaving the hall.I followed along, though not by choice. Darius wrapped an arm around me, guiding me out with an ease that felt far too familiar, while Damian and his mate remained behind.Even as I walked away, my senses sharpened, my ears straining to catch whatever conversation lingered behind us.Well, that was part of the abilities required for this mission.And just barely, I caught it, he mentioned they were going to see the doctor.Good.“You know,” Darius began, cutting thr

    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

    AuroraIt was like air itself was stripped away from my lungs as I left that hall, scrambling through bodies that held the most heightened disgust for me. That was what I saw beneath those stunned eyes.But that wasn't even the main reason I had to run away. That wasn't it. But the fact that my bod

    DamianMy line of thought soon drifted when Dad began softly, as if taking his time to fully process every detail like he hadn't already done before this gathering.Dad. Always his ways. That cold, dominant, ruthless Alpha of Darkshades, that ruled the kingdoms with great precision. Feared by all,

    AuroraI don't know how I made it to the kitchen, but I did. The kitchen stretched out empty. The dishes were all carried out. The omegas were nowhere in view. Even Mia wasn't in sight. The silence felt unnatural, pressing in on me from all sides… except for the chaos inside my chest.It kept beati
