LOGINLiamMy chest tightened painfully, but I didn't reply. There was nothing I could say that wouldn't give him another reason to gloat.“You know you brought this upon us. You never listen when I try to warn you. You always want to have things your own silly way.”My teeth gritted so hard that I could hear the faint crack of them grinding against each other.“Shut up,” I blurted, my voice exploding through the cell so loudly that it sent another wave of pain crashing through my head. The headache returned with a vengeance, pounding against my skull, but this time, I didn't care.Even as the pain shot through every nerve in my brain and spread through my body, I still continued, refusing to let it silence me.“Trying to put the blame on me, does it change anything? Or being held captive in this freaking cell, does that suddenly make it some kind of silly game to you?”I felt him recoil.Good.At least my words had finally hit their mark.“Don't you think worrying yourself about how the he
LiamMy head hurt and buzzed painfully, something I hadn't experienced in what felt like forever. I didn't understand what the heck was happening to me as I tried to force my eyes open, but it was proving far more futile than easy.“Ken,” I called out, so damn out of my mind as he ignored me. He was there. I could feel him curled up somewhere inside me, but he stubbornly refused to answer me.I pushed myself up and fought to open my eyes. I didn't understand what the heck was going on. My eyelids felt unbearably heavy, weighed down by the sharp pains that seemed to travel through not only my skull but my entire body.I finally forced them open, blinking a couple of times to adjust to the dim light of this place. My eyes flew wide as I tried to sit upright. My body felt so cold, and if not for anything else, I knew exactly where this place was.No… I tried to piece it together through my mind, forcing myself to understand what the heck was going on around me.I couldn't piece any of it
DamianThe instant the chains around my legs began to pulse with strange energy, I saw the witch stagger backward as though an invisible force had slammed into her. Her brows knitted together, her jaw locked so tightly that the muscles along her face twitched with strain.But I didn't let go.Neither Aaron nor I loosened our grip.We held on. We kept fighting. We kept pushing with everything we had, willing ourselves toward freedom, even if it meant sacrificing every last ounce of strength left within us.We weren't about to surrender.We weren't about to let her win.I saw the determination blazing inside her eyes. I watched them narrow into dangerous slits while her lips slowly curved into a thin, confident line that silently promised, Just wait...Under normal circumstances, that expression should have filled me with terror.It should have made me hesitate.But it didn't.Not anymore.This freaking bitch had taken away my freedom. Snatched it away as though it were some common, eve
DamianI don't know what that meant, but judging by the expression on her face, I could only make out that whatever was happening had gone against her.She staggered backward, still clutching her chest. Her eyes, which had been so full of rage and control only a while ago, now looked so terrible and broken, as though she had witnessed the worst nightmare imaginable.The carefully crafted face she had worn so proudly, flawless, charming, and deceptively beautiful, began to crack apart before my eyes. It was as though every layer of magic disguising her true appearance was peeling away, exposing exactly what she truly was beneath it all.Nothing but a pathetic... evil... cursed old fool.A miserable woman who had hidden beneath powerful magic for centuries, pretending to be graceful and beautiful, while underneath she was nothing more than a wrinkled, rotten shell, decayed by darkness and consumed by her own wickedness.A scoff escaped my lips as something stirred violently inside me.I
DamianI had been watching her the entire time. I wasn't so stupid, or such a fool, not to realize something wasn't right.She looked tense. Agitated. Confused, to say the very least. Aaron had been muttering relentlessly in the back of my mind, while my gaze never once left the staff she had kept suspended on the cold floor all this time.I was still exhausted. Completely drained.But the thought of freedom... the thought of Aurora... the thought of my pack...They became the only things keeping me alive, the only things forcing me to cling to the last fragile thread of my strength.“Moon Goddess... help me.”The desperate plea echoed silently through every part of me.With a strained breath, I forced my battered body forward despite the crushing exhaustion weighing down every limb. My fingers wrapped around the staff.At first, I was terrified something might happen if I touched it. I had no reason not to be. But Aaron kept pushing. “What's the worst that could happen?” he growled.
MonicaI chuckled as I glared at him. The very man who had just agreed to swear an oath upon his throne and his father's name. The one who was mine, and mine alone.A wretched laugh escaped my lips.Truthfully, I was impressed."Say the words again," I urged.He straightened, exhaled sharply, then spoke."I accept."The moment those words left his lips, every nerve in my body came alive, sending a shiver through me as my hands instinctively reached for the Staff of Authority resting in the sacred corner of my chamber.It hummed softly beneath my grasp, cold, ancient, and commanding, as though it had been waiting for this very moment.By the time I lifted my gaze to his, his sharp, piercing eyes were already locked onto mine.Goodness...I couldn't suppress the pull or the overwhelming hunger surging through me all over again.I was only one step away from sealing the deal, yet my body refused to obey me. It felt as though I was melting with every subtle movement he made, every breath
Damian It had been a long afternoon of exhaustion, having to go through the final clearance at the training facilities, clearing off certain details I needed to handle myself, and doing a series of final activities before hopping on the eight-hour journey by flight and then another two hours by la
AuroraTime itself seemed to freeze, as though even it was stunned into stillness, just like me. My body locked in place, my heart racing in uneven, fragile beats, while my mind spiraled with thousands of conflicting thoughts.The world tilted, spinning faintly beneath my feet as I stared at the ma
Aurora It’s almost noon by the time I left my quarters. The evening air breeze was warm and cozy, sending a slight chill down my spine. I stood alongside the other omegas that had assembled to welcome Alpha Lucas’s first son, Damian. Rumor had it that he had been out of the pack for almost five
Slight trigger warning. Abuse... just for this chapter. Please bear with me, as we take Aurora on her journey to being unstoppable. Aurora “I’m so sorry. I never knew it would turn out that way,” Mia says for the umpteenth time in one week now. “It was never your fault either,” I said to Mia
