Aurora

I barely managed to return to my room. My chest felt like it weighed a ton of bricks placed upon it. I gently put my hand on my chest and tried to take a deep breath.

As I closed my eyes, trying to concentrate. My mind kept wondering on its own. No matter how much I tried to focus, I kept getting distracted.

“What just happened? Those soft lips.” I mumbled to myself. I gently bit my lower lip, trying to savor the sweet taste of Darius. His kiss was fierce like a hungry wolf, but at the same time it was kind and gentle.

My knees could hardly hold up my body. I felt like letting myself loose and just melting to the floor. I swiped my lower lip with my hands to confirm I wasn’t in a dream. “ Even if it is, I don’t ever want to wake up.” I thought to myself.

I remembered hearing the she-wolves in the Moonfall Palace kitchen whispering among themselves. After working hours, they will gather behind and giggle between themselves. Of course, they always chased me away because I wasn’

    Aurora The entire room went quiet. The environment became tensed and awkward. There was little murmurs all around. I looked through the crowd, to see their anticipation of this encounter. I quickly snapped back and returned my gaze towards her. “Hello Ember.” I replied back coldly. Her facial expression turned red, as I called her directly. She continued gazing at me intently. “Wow, its’ sad that no matter what some people do, you can’t put lipstick a pig.” The whole crowd gasped in awe of her utterance. I clenched my fists, yet my wolf reminded me that I should lose my cool as that was her intention. I took a weary sigh, as I forced a smile. “Its’ sad that some people who keep remembering the old days...remain old.” I snapped back. Ember widened her eyes in shock. She gnarled at me deeply. “Aurora…” she shot a fierce glare at me. However, my face remained unfazed. I curved my lips slightly. “As a Luna of a prominent pack, you should have more grace to show support to other Lunas. Not

    AuroraI turned to see if I could meet the intent gaze, but the stage light was too bright for me to see anyone. Darius had a concerned facial look as he glanced at me.“Are you ready to this, Aurora?” he asked calmly. I regained my composure and faced his direction.“I’m ready now.” I said with certainty. Darius curved his lips to reveal a broad smile, as we faced the crowd still holding our hands. We interlocked our fingers, to present a united front.“It’s also my honor to present to you, from ancient myths passed down from generations to generations of the legend story. I present to you Aurora the white wolf!” he yelled out on top of his lungs, it felt he was more happy than even myself of the recent development.This made chuckle quietly, still anticipating the shocker of the turn of events this evening. The crowd went full silent, after his utterance. The demeanor suddenly changed, as the atmosphere became tensed.I could my heartbeat race fast, as sweat slowly clustered on my f

    Aurora“Aurora Ashwood.” My heartbeat started pacing quickly as I heard my name. This was the first time my name was ever mentioned in a public setting. The surprise of not only hearing my name, but to be regarded as Luna. It was something I had only dreamt of.The whole crowd looking in different directions to witness who the new Luna is. Most of them, only meeting me for the first time, were stunned to see the spotlight on me.“Is she Aurora?” I could hear some of them ask with a curious tone. There were different reactions to Darius’ pronouncement. Some females who were all aspiring to be the ones chosen by the famous bachelor, had their faces turned pale in shock.“I thought he said he'd never take a mate…” those were some of the mumblings of some disgruntled she-wolves who seemed to have high hopes for the night.They looked at me with disdain, as they made snarling facial expression towards me. Next, there were other male wolves from other packs and kingdoms who looked amazed by

    AuroraThe day I dreamt of finally came, I stood in front of the full mirror in my room. My head properly tucked in, with a hair pin with beautiful colored stones adorned on it. It gave me a sophisticated look as I wore green colored earrings designed with the latest trends in fashion.My face was touched on with high-class makeup that brought out the spark in my eyes and my eye-lids and lashes perfectly arranged. My plum lips were plastered with red lipstick that made them more attractive.The neckline was covered with a green-ember diamond necklace, which shined brightly. It matched the earrings, which solidified with a classy look. I wore a long green gown that flowed to the floor. It was without sleeves, just two thin strands on my shoulders supporting the dress.It was measured accurately with my curves, which accentuated it with the streamlined gown. It highlighted all the right places, which even left me astonished at its perfection.I couldn’t help but feel proud of myself for

    AuroraOne of the strays that was newly recruited into Darius’ army entered into the courtyard. He had a serious facial expression that captured my attention. I signaled him to approach as he stood fidgeting at the entrance. His eyes widened as he hurried towards me.“Thank you, I apologize for interrupting. But, there was urgent info that couldn’t wait,” he said in a serious tone. I glanced at him, and he looked sincere, so I decided to hear him out.“What is it you wish to tell me…” I looked at him, widening my eyes, gesturing for his name. “Lucas,” he replied hastily. I nodded my head, acknowledging his response. “What do you have for me, Lucas?” I asked in a calm voice. He took a deep sigh as he started. Alpha Darius also leaned in as his curiosity was also peaked.“First, on behalf of all the new recruits, we want to offer my appreciation to both you and Alpha for giving us the chance for redemption. No other pack gave us this opportunity to belong to a tribe,” he said with his e

    DariusTessa’s eyes widened in awe. She had a puzzled look on her face. “Cameron set up all of these? It feels like my fantasies coming true." Her face was lit with a flicker of happiness.“Yes, he stayed up all night, just to make sure all the decorations were flown in time,” I added. If there was anywhere I could intercede for him with Tessa, I wouldn’t give up hope.“I’m speechless, why do you think he’ll do all this only for me?” she asked rhetorically. I gestured with both my hands, feigning ignorance.“I have no idea… I think you should hear directly from him.” I replied with a cheeky smile on my face.Just as we were both talking, we heard a loud announcement from the loudspeaker placed on stage.“Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen… thank you for gracing us with your presence. Pls, join me in giving a sound welcome for tonight’s celebrant….. Tessa!” Cameron ushered all the guests to clap both their hands together for her.Her face turned pink, blushing as the spotlight was shown
