Aurora’s POV

When Silva finally left, I made my way before him, folding my hands on my chest to show the extent of my seriousness.

He didn't respond but the look in his eyes showed that he was frustrated.

“Please, Aurora please, I beg of you." He groaned, plopping on the edge of the bed with his head buried in his palm.

“Then tell me what you don't want others to say to me." I paused for a few minutes.

Taking the spot next to him, I placed my hand on his back because my hand could not go around him.

“Not yet." He muttered.

“Then…"

“Please be patient with me. I will tell you everything when the time is right." He hurriedly made his way towards his wardrobe only to pull out a bag.

He didn't bother to cast me a glance before he dashed out of his room.

After one last look at Amelia's picture on the wall, I left for mine.

After breakfast, I went to the garden to clear my head as my thoughts had been all over the place since after we heard that chilling whisper.

    Aurora’s POVWith my heart slamming furiously against my chest, I kept staring at Silva, my lips slightly parted to snap at him just in case he said something chilly again. No wonder Asher had stopped me from going out last night. He knew his secret was going to be revealed. “What are you going to do with the information if I have the answer you want?" Silva asked, pushing his hands into his pockets, his gaze narrowed at me. “This is your only chance to escape from the curse yet you are asking when the next curse bond is going to snap. Are you so blinded with love that you can't think of anything else?" His voice was going an octave high now. Pushing my hand into my hair with a frustrated look, I tried all I could to remain calm but it was to no avail. I was losing my mind, my sanity was at stake and it seems like I was crawling back into the hellhole I somehow managed to escape from. “Isn't there a cure for the curse?" I asked, studying his expression which had now become unread

    Asher’s POVAmelia's memorial each year was a reminder of what the anekia curse that had been passed down through a hundred generations made me do to my beloved sister. Each time I recalled how her body had gone limp in my hands at the dining table, I shuddered violently.I only left the royal cemetery when it was noon, just like I did each year. Sliding into my study, I sat behind my table, poring over files that I couldn't comprehend what was written in each page.Frustrated, I pulled away from the table and then made my way towards the window. I hoped staring at the ever green land that was beyond would distract me but it was to no avail. My thoughts kept going back to her. Flashback…“You're eating too much, you might end up becoming as fat as a goblin." Amelia had said her favorite lines at the dining table. “A goblin?" I huffed, slamming my fist against the table and with just a slight tug on the table, cloth, all the plates crashed to the floor, creating a hell of noise.

    Aurora’s POVThe more I thought about what Silva had said to me, the more terrified I became. Just when I thought everything was falling back in place, I got to know that my third mate was a psychopath who had killed his sister. He didn’t end there, he had hung her picture on his wall like it was a trophy. Pressing my lips into a thin line, I lifted my head slowly as anger welled up inside of me. The moon goddess had been unjust to me. My first two mates had rejected me only for her to give me the third one who was cursed and I was his second target. “Before the prophecy comes to pass, I will have to act quickly and pack my bag.” I mumbled, biting the side of my lips. Instead of returning to my pack, I was going to hide in a pack where no one knows me and then I will start living again. I won’t be scared of any form of threat anymore. “Aurora, open the door.” Asher yelled, hitting his fists continuously against my door but I didn’t listen to him. While he was talking, I had man

    Aurora's POV “Are you certain this is going to work?" I asked, my brows scrunched up in doubt. With everything I had seen and encountered when Asher was involved it was hard to fool him. Before one thought of acting, he was already three feets ahead, thwarting their efforts like it was nothing.“Of course." Miller mumbled, closing the distance that separated us. Placing her hand on my shoulder, she gave it a soft squeeze and with a smile dancing on her lips, she said, “Asher is not as cool as you think." “He is always swift because his source of information never fails him. With Silva right next to him in his study, he will forget every other thing… even you too.” She slurred, pulling away from me. Pressing my lips into a thin line, I pushed my hand in my hair as I slowly lowered myself on my bed.I thought escaping was going to be easy but now, it didn't just seem uneasy, it was dangerous and almost impossible. The thought of Asher finding out that I tried to run away terrifie

    Aurora's POV “She is here with me. Don't pull that stunt ever again." Asher said, his voice low but chilling.“Who's there?" I asked, checking his face for an answer.“Silva." He replied and immediately, my face was drained of all its colors. I was right when I said fooling Asher was a piece of work. Acting all cool despite knowing what his Beta did was a whole different level of…I honestly don't know what to say but it was scary.Why am I always in an unpleasant spot?Knowing Asher could sense what was going on around him with ease made cold chills run through my spine, my heart slamming furiously against my chest. It wouldn't be a surprise if he could count my raged heartbeat. “The next time you try running away, I won't be able to keep my anger in check." He pulled away from me and with his back now turned on me, he said, “Who knows if the curse is going to snap and the death you have been trying to escape from will come for you?” I gulped, wiping my sweaty palm against my go

    Asher’s POVNothing went past my notice in the palace. I saw everything from my study. The guard had helped Aurora on the horse, he was going to help her escape. There was no way I was going to sit back and watch that happen and so without wasting time, I went after them, following the opposite direction and the quickest path that led to the border.The moment the guard lost focus for a moment and Aurora was contemplating crossing over, I lunged forward and with just a slash that ruptured his artery, he was at my feet. I was raving mad so I remained in the shadows trying to soothe myself before facing her. If I confronted her this way, she was going to end up like the guard. When I finally did, she passed out right before I could confront her. At first I wanted to leave her as a form of punishment for defying my orders twice but then again, I couldn't.Rouges was on rampage and my right sense of judgement wouldn't allow me to leave without taking her along. After a thorough che

    Aurora's POVIt’s been a week since the incident and I had done everything within my means to stay away from Asher and to my delight it worked.Though I haven't made any attempt to run off just yet, the agenda is in my head and when the time is right, I will leave. This time around, he wouldn't be able to catch me even by the whiskers.“Are you having your breakfast here?" Mira asked, poking her head through my door. Shaking my head sideways, I muttered, “I will eat at the dining table today." I replied, while she just nodded. To avoid Asher, I had steered clear from all places he would frequent and also, I had made sure he had no access to my room. Apart from Mira, no one else was free to get in. “Are you sure about it?" Mira asked. We were on our way to the dining room now. “Yeah! Or, were you trying to pull my legs when you said he had been skipping his meals too?" I asked, halting midway with my gaze on her. For one long week, I had remained in my room and now I wanted a ch

    Aurora's POVIt had been more than ten minutes since I returned to my room, yet, I still remained in the middle of my room. My hands were resting lazily on my waist as I stared out of the window. This was the exact reason why I tried to avoid Palmer but I failed at it. Grabbing my head with both hands, I lowered myself, sitting on my legs and still staring into space. “Silva?" I muttered. No way!Silva is Asher’s best friend. There is no way he will try to dethrone his best friend whom he had been loyal to for years. Clenching and unclenching my fists, I tried to piece together all that I had been fed with but the more I tried, the more confused I became.I was slowly losing my mind. It was just a matter of seconds before I lost it completely.Hurrying towards the safe in the corner of my bed, quickly typed in my password and immediately, the door flipped open.Pulling out the file Palmer had given to me as a trophy, I ran my fingers around the edges for a while before emptying t

    Aurora's POVIt was awkward as this was the first time Scarlet was offering to take a walk with me.Unsure of how to react, I kept staring at both of them until Scarlet walked up to me and then intertwined her hand with mine.“Come on, let's get going." She chirped. “The chef will be able to prepare her favorite food, right?" She asked Emma who nodded. "Grilled chicken and French fries, right?” She asked but I shook my head in the negative, she got it wrong. She never knew my best food as I haven't said it to her and Jake wouldn't be so bored to tell her the little things he knew about me. “Steak and mashed potatoes." I muttered and almost immediately, Emma disappeared through the door, leaving me with Scarlet. Tugging my arm, she kept pulling me towards the door. We walked through the long corridor in silence.I was uncomfortable and wanted to wriggle away but I felt she was going to misinterpret my intentions, that which I don't want.

    073Aurora’s POVFixing my last piece of jewelry on my neck, I took one last look at my reflection in the mirror before shifting my gaze to Asher who had been staring. “How do I look?" I asked, a bright smile plastered on my lips. “Beautiful, as always." He commented, pulling me to himself with a hand and caressing my cheek with the other. “I want you to keep looking this way every single day." He added, eliciting a little laugh from me. Leaning in, he planted a soft kiss on my forehead and the next minute, a low knock came through.“I think my new Beta is here." He announced, pulling away from me. “New Beta?" I was surprised as it was barely twenty four hours since Miller was appointed. “Uhm… I can't put up with Miller, so I have to make a random choice.” He shrugged. "You know Talen, right?” "Yeah.” I nodded, straightening the edges of my gown. "He is my new Beta.” Nodding, a little smile spread across my lips. I was glad that Miller wouldn't be anywhere near him. He must h

    Aurora’s POVStanding behind Asher's study door, I was fiddling with my finger, trying to come up with the perfect words to say to him.Just this morning, a message had come through Mira, informing me my father had requested for my presence.It sounded urgent that I wanted to go see him right away but I couldn't. I didn't want to do anything without speaking to Asher first.Taking a deep breath, I connected my fist to the door. “Come in.” Asher said, his voice deep and commanding as ever.Once again, I exhaled and then pushed open the door, stepping inside and immediately I froze.Miller was there and as if that was not enough, she was standing a little too close to Asher and he wasn't pushing her away either. A strange, sharp feeling stabbed into my chest as a wave of emotion hit me.Jealousy, insecurity? I had no idea. I didn't move further into the room, I just stood there, my heart twisting painfully as I tried to act neutral. "Am I interrupting?" I asked lightly, unable to hi

    Aurora’s POVClosing the door gently behind him, he made his way into my room, halting right next to the window, his gaze on me but he said no words. Pulling my legs together, I sat stiffly on the edge of my bed, arms folded across my chest as I stared at the wall like it had offended me. “Aurora.” He called, startling me a bit but I didn't show. “Talk to me.” He pressed on.Instead of responding, I began to sulk, refusing to meet his gaze.Closing the distance between us, he said, “Ignoring me won’t fix whatever’s brewing in that head of yours.”I clenched my jaw at his words, still refusing to meet his eyes.Now crouching in front of me, he lowered himself until he locked eyes with me.“What happened?” He asked, his tone softer than before. “Is it about Miller?”Against my wish, I let out a shaky breath.I hated that he could read me so easily, I hated how exposed it made me feel. It was like he could peel away every layer I tried to wrap around myself.“I’m sorry.” He muttered ,

    Reader’s POVIn excitement, Stefan forgot about the purpose of his meeting with Asher so he returned home, beaming with excitement.Suspicious, Miller couldn't help but ask the reason for his mood and when he did tell her, she was all over the moon with excitement. She could barely sit still as her father's words replayed in her ears. “The moon goddess is definitely on our side. Just when it seems I wouldn't be able to have Asher to myself, another opportunity pops up." Miller exclaimed while her father looked on, beaming with a smile. “You can say that again but still… I'm a bit skeptical.” He muttered, hands crossed on his chest. Pulling close to her father, Miller leaned forward, her hands grabbing the edge of her seat. "Why? Did he say something else?” She asked, her gaze fixated on him."Not really but… he acted like the idea didn't sit well with him. Soon, he is going to find a replacement for you, I could see it in his eyes and the way he acted."For a moment, Miller didn'

    Asher’s POVThe meeting with three Alphas from the Western area was taking more time than intended. According to plan, it was supposed to wrap up after two hours but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. Drumming my fingers against the table, I tried to be present in the meeting but my mind kept drifting off.I had a pile of papers on my table waiting for my attention so the delay was getting me on the edge. We were discussing on opening a center which was going to be a neutral ground that would welcome all packs, and rogues who needed shelter. From my point of view, it wasn't a bad idea in theory. But theory and reality were two different things and I knew how swift good intentions could turn into a political crisis.Despite knowing this, I allowed the conversation to keep going. Nodding only when it's appropriate and chirping in only a few words. Finally, the meeting came to an end and I was relieved. “Thanks for your time." I shook hands with each Alpha one after the other b

    Reader’s POVShaking her legs with her hands crossed on her chest, Scarlet was staring at the wall like something only she could read was written on it. Since the previous night, she hasn't been herself after seeing the bond between Asher and Aurora. On the other hand was Emma who was trying to comfort her while Jake was leaning against the door, staring boringly at her. “Are you still brooding over what happened last night? I mean, you should let it slide… You're the one having a hard time here, Aurora is probably having a good time with her mate who dotes on her.” Jake sang like a canary. He did nothing but to fuel the anger which she felt but he didn't care a bit."Jake is right.” Emma said, pressing her hand lightly. “Mom, are you taking sides with Jake now?” She shrieked. "He was with me, he saw how she humiliated me without saying a word.” She yelled while Jake tossed his head backwards in pure frustration. He wanted to yell at her but that was only going to worsen the sit

    Asher’s POVThe atmosphere in the hall was saturated with low music, soft laughter, and the clinking of glasses which rented the air. The regional gathering was everything the meeting of Alphas should be. It was formal, respectful and polished but my focus wasn’t on the conversation around me. Instead, it was on her, Aurora. Since I left the table to meet up with Cain, I couldn't stop looking over my shoulder to take a quick glance at her. I was acting like a teenager in love which gave me thrills. It had been a while since I was this free and relieved so I welcomed it wholeheartedly. The moment Gavin took over my seat I had been occupying, I saw the way her shoulders stiffned, the way her hand curled around her glass of cocktail. As if Gavin’s presence was not enough, Jake walked up to her and then Scarlet. They were too close and the discomfort in her eyes and demeanour couldn't be missed. Several times, I had been tempted to step in, especially when Scarlet joined with a man
