Aura’s POV

The moment I saw Sorren, anger swelled in me.

He was following me? In the middle of the night? What other explanation could there possibly be? I’d made it very clear that I didn’t want to talk to him when I slammed the door in his face.

So what was he doing here?

Our eyes locked and then he took off.

Not only was he following me, but now he was running away from me?

I ran after him and caught up to him easily. Sorren had never been much of an athlete. I could outrun him easily without even breaking a sweat.

“Are you following me?” I demanded, stepping in front of him to block his path.

He looked flustered and avoided my eyes.

“No,” he lied. He was clearly unwilling to admit the truth. My patience had run thin. I could only assume he’d followed me into the slums to cause trouble again.

“Don’t lie to me,” I told him, my annoyance sharp in my voice.

“I was just worried about you,” he replied.

“Worried?” I scoffed.

“Yes,” he said, finally lifting his eyes to mine. “I saw you wer

  • Trapped by My Eager Alpha King   Chapter 20: Biting Down

    Atlas’s POVI was sitting at my desk when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. It caused me to double over my desk.It was the sting of a mate bond being betrayed.Aura was with someone else.Auburn howled inside of me, thrashing his head from side to side. He demanded to see our mate, and the man she was with so he could tear him apart.The skin hunger burned, hotter and more palpable than ever before, intensified by Aura’s betrayal.I couldn’t go on like this. The skin hunger was too much. It was starting to affect Auburn. If I kept enduring it, I risked causing him severe damage.I summoned Beta Seson. He came to private study immediately. He took one look at my disheveled appearance and asked me what was wrong.“Bring me Aura,” I demanded, my jaw tight.“Atlas,” Beta Seson said, taking a step towards me, his eyes flooded with concern. “You’re drenched in sweat. And you’re pale. Are you sick? Should I call the doctor?”I shook my head, my fists balled up in clench.“I don’t want a docto

  • Trapped by My Eager Alpha King   Chapter 18: We’re Just Friends Though

    Sorren’s POVAura stormed out, slamming the door behind her.I was breathing heavily, clearly angry by our argument. Somehow, this woman always managed to leave me completely thrown off balance. She had humiliated me in front of the entire pack. I’d already announced our engagement. Did she have any idea how embarrassing it was for me when she made me call it off?And to make matters even worse, she’d found her a mate. A true matebond, to someone I couldn’t afford to offend.I paced around the room, on edge.I didn’t want to fight with Aura. I really didn’t. I just couldn’t help myself. I was still in shock by her breaking off our engagement.Just then, Beta Angelo mindlinked me to remind me that we were going out that night. We were meeting up with Jackson in the local bar. Even though Aura and I were fighting, Jackson, Angelo and I had all grown up together. We were good friends, and I wasn’t going to let Aura get in the way of my friendship to Jackson.A few hours later, I foun

  • Trapped by My Eager Alpha King   Chapter 17: Rogues From Silverclaw Pack

    Aura’s POV“Oh, I….um,” I started, startled by catching them in a compromising position like that. Sorren sat straight up in bed and glared at me.Clearly, I’d clearly interrupted something Sorren didn’t want interrupted. He was furious, planting both feet on the floor.“Don’t you know how to knock?” he said, rolling his eyes. Then he got out of bed and started pulling on his clothes. “This is my private bedroom. You can’t just come barging in like this.”I didn’t care that I’d caught him making love to some other woman. I wasn’t going to back down. He was angry, but so was I.We got into a heated argument while the woman slipped out of the bed and got dressed. Our tempers flared and our voices started rising.Sorren blamed me for barging in, and I told him I wouldn’t have to if he’d just be reasonable and talk to me in the first place. Then I accused him of blacklisting me.“Why are you preventing me from getting a job?” I asked him.He shrugged dismissively. “Why did you break off

  • Trapped by My Eager Alpha King   Chapter 16: The Crestfallen Slum

    Aura’s POVTears streamed down little Laura’s face. Her voice came out in choked sobs.“I’m sorry,” she said. “Just don’t hurt me.”“I’m not going to hurt you,” I replied gently, letting go of her arm. Through her sobs, she just kept apologizing over and over.I crouched down so that I was eye level with her.“Why did you try to steal from me, Laura?” I asked.Laura tried to explain, but her words were disjointed and confusing. She was still crying really hard so it was hard to understand what she was saying.I told her to calm down and take a deep breath.Eventually, I pieced together her story.From what I could gather, Laura’s mother was very sick. Laura didn’t say what her mother’s illness was, only that her mother desperately needed medicine.“We don’t have enough money,” Laura said, her face wet from tears. She was wringing her hands in front of her dirty, thread-bare skirt.She told me that her mother was getting worse by the day, and her family had run out of options.So, in a

  • Trapped by My Eager Alpha King   Chapter 15: Blacklisted

    Aura’s POVMy plan wasn’t working at all. In fact, Atlas’ attitude toward me seemed to be growing colder by the day. As a result of that, I was growing more and more frustrated with each passing hour.And to make matters worse, Sorren had followed through on his threat—I couldn’t find a single job. No matter where I went, it was the same thing. No one would hire me! It was infuriating. Although I’d managed to save up a decent amount over the years, it wasn’t going to last long. My brother’s medical needs were expensive. His condition required ongoing medication and treatment.Jackson couldn’t help but notice how worn out I looked. He wanted to find a job himself, to help ease the financial burden and stress I was under.I couldn’t let him do that though. At least not until his legs healed properly. He was in a wheelchair. I felt like a job would be too much for him right now.I’d always been the one to take care of us both financially. And because he couldn’t work, Jackson pitched in o
