The door clicked shut behind Aurora.

She stood there for a moment and looked around.

The penthouse was dark and quiet, but something was clearly wrong. She could see it immediately. Overturned furniture, broken glass on the floor, and a chair knocked completely on its side.

She stepped carefully around the mess and followed the only sound she could hear.

Running water down the hall. She walked toward it.

The bathroom door was slightly open, she pushed it and stepped inside.

Damon stood in the cold shower, still partially dressed, with his back to her and his head down.

Aurora pulled her eyes away and cleared her throat.

“Mr. Blackwood.”

He went still instantly.

“Who let you in.” Not a question. A warning.

“Caleb,” she said. “He sent me.”

“Get out.”

Aurora stayed where she was. “My mother has less than eighteen hours without the Nightbloom Serum. Caleb said you could help. That is the only reason I am here.”

Damon turned the shower off, still with his back to her.

“I heard you,” he said. “Now get out anyway.”

“I can’t do that.”

He turned around.

Aurora had seen pictures of him before, but they did not prepare her for seeing him in person. He was soaking wet and his eyes were dark. He looked like he was trying hard to control himself.

When he saw her, his expression turned cold. He stared at her with clear anger in his eyes.

“There is something in my body,” he said quietly. “It is not safe for you to be near me. I am telling you to leave.”

“I understand that,” Aurora said. “But I am not leaving.”

He looked at her. Then the effects of the compound suddenly became stronger.

One second he was standing across from her. The next his arm was around her waist from behind, pulling her back against his chest.

Aurora froze. She felt the heat coming off his body straight through her wet dress, like he was burning from the inside.

Neither of them moved for a few seconds.

Then Damon let her go and stepped back immediately.

Aurora turned to face him. “Mr. Blackwood.”

“Stay away from me.” His voice was full of anger.

“Please I can’t leave without the serum.” She kept her voice steady even though her heart was still racing. “Eighteen hours. That is all she has. I will stand here all night if I have to.”

Damon was quiet for a moment. Then he walked toward her and stopped close enough that Aurora had to look up at him.

He looked down at her face, clearly seeing her for the first time.

His expression changed. Then his body reacted in a way that had nothing to do with the compound.

He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer

Aurora’s breath caught.

“It’s you,” he said quietly.

Aurora frowned. “What?”

She had no idea what he meant.

The hand around her waist tightened before she could ask, pulling her closer until there was no space between them.

Then Aurora felt every hair on her arms rise.

Her wolf. The one that had been silent her whole life.

It stirred for the first time.

    Aurora didn’t move.She was still standing in the same spot, Damon’s arm loose around her waist now.It’s you.She replayed it in her head. The way he said it. Not like a question, like a confirmation.But that made no sense because they had never met before tonight.And then there was the other thing. The thing she could not explainThat strange feeling that had moved through her the moment he pulled her close. Like something deep inside her had woken up after sleeping for years. She had felt it clearly, right in her, what she had never experienced before in her life.Her wolf.Damon had stepped back slightly. He was watching her with that same unreadable expression.Aurora walked to him and looked at him directly.“What did you mean,” she said. “When you said it’s you. Do you know me?”He did not answer.His eyes moved to the right side of her neck for a second before returning to her face.He remembered.Three years ago, on a rainy night, a rival pack had ambushed his convoy on the

  • Too Late, Ex, I Married The Alpha   The Poisoned Alpha

    The penthouse suite of Blackwood Club had one rule on Wednesday nights.No one enters, no exceptions.Caleb Morgan knew this better than anyone. He had worked for Damon Blackwood for six years, and in those six years he had never once violated that rule. He understood what Wednesday nights meant.So when the penthouse door opened at half past ten, Damon Blackwood walked in looking unsteady. Caleb was already on his feet before he could understand what he was seeing.Damon was not the kind of man who ever looked weak. In six years, Caleb had never seen him lose control.But tonight was different.His black shirt was open at the collar, showing part of his neck and collarbone. His breathing was heavy and uneven.His eyes were red and burning, but his face was still cold. He was clearly struggling, but he was trying hard not to show it.Two bodyguards came in behind him. They looked at Damon, then at each other, unsure whether they should help him or stay back.“Damon…” Caleb stepped for

    The airbag hit Aurora so hard.Aurora sat still for exactly three seconds. Then she pushed the deflated airbag aside, forced the door open with her shoulder, and stepped out into the cold night.A warm liquid slid down the side of her face. She touched it. Blood. She kept walking.The hospital was four blocks away. She walked all four of them barefoot, in a torn wedding slip stained with blood.She walked through the hospital entrance.“Aurora.” Mira’s voice sounded as she rushed forward.The moment she saw Aurora’s face bloodied, shaking and barely standing. Her expression changed.“What happened to you….”“My mother,” Aurora said immediately. “Tell me.”Mira moved closer to her.“They resuscitated her twenty minutes ago. She’s alive… but Aurora, her condition is worsening. Without Nightbloom Serum, she has less than forty eight hours.”Aurora didn’t respond.She walked past Mira and head straight to the ICU.She stood at the bedside and looked down at the woman who had raised her

  • Too Late, Ex, I Married The Alpha   Eighteen Hours

    Aurora didn’t call a car.She walked barefoot under the cold evening rain, still in the ivory slip dress, pearls tangled in her hair and dried tears on her face. She walked all the way back to the Sterling residence. The home Ethan had given her five years ago.The fingerprint scanner flashed green the moment she pressed her hand on it and the front door was opened.It was dark inside. No lights left on. Just silence and the faint smell of his cologne hanging in the air like a bad memory.Aurora stood in the corridor and looked at the life she was leaving behind. The leather chair he always sat in. The espresso machine she researched for weeks just to get him the right one. The large framed photo on the wall above the stairs, Aurora smiled with her head on Ethan’s shoulder.She walked over and ripped it off the wall.The frame hit the floor and the glass shattered. She bend down, picked up a shard and dragged it on his face in the photo. Ethan’s face blurred as a small cut from th

Alone to stand in front of the full length mirror in a wedding gown that Ethan Sterling had prepared specifically for her.“Miss Vale.” The bridal store manager adjusted Aurora’s veil carefully. “Will Mr. Sterling be joining you today?”“He’ll be here,” she said. “Today is our seventh anniversary. He promised.”The words had barely left her lips when the fitting room door was open.Ethan Sterling walked in, Aurora’s smile started to form….
