Asher’s POVLeaning back on my chair, I couldn't help but ponder on Aurora’s real identity. Since the first day she stepped into the pack, I had always suspected her to be an alpha female but she kept insisting she was an Omega. Drumming my fingers against the polished wooden table in front of me, I alternated my gaze between the elders seated on both sides of the table.They were talking about the progress of the south faction with merry voices. Aurora had proved herself within a few weeks of leading the faction and I must confess this was the first time in a long while I found myself being intrigued by a woman. She had exceeded my expectations.With her leadership skills, she had handled the affairs of the south faction so efficiently; something that some seasoned council members wouldn't be able to do in years. At first, I thought I was going to hide behind her to bring regularity to the division but she did that without my help making it look like she had been born for this r

Aurora’s POVSeated behind my desk, I carefully reviewed the documents that were littered all over my desk.After the death of Fred, I was received by the officials which was against their wish but somehow, I had managed to ease the tension between us.We might not be on good terms but our cooperation was top notch and that was all I needed to function properly. Across the table was Miller.Our first meeting was tension filled. The glare she had sent my way the first day I saw her was neatly stamped in my memory and it was going to take a while before I forgot about it. For the last few weeks, she has proved her worth.Asher was not bluffing when he said she would make a good friend and confidant. Another thing that endeared me to her was she was intelligent and sharp witted.“You’re too focused.” Miller chuckled. Though it was a quick glance, the amusement dancing in her eyes couldn't be missed. “You barely blink when you read, it's terrifying.”“And you’re too observant, that’s

Aurora's POVThe blade of the knife poked my back and all I could see and imagine was the body of Fred that crashed on the floor a few weeks ago.Pressing my lips into a thin line, my breath hitched against my throat as my heart rammed against my chest in a quick succession. I was terrified but somehow, I was able to hold myself back from passing out in fright. “Come on honey, you’re keeping me in suspense and I don't like it." He cooed, his soft lips brushing against the lobes of my ear. No Aurora, you can't do that. — I countered Gem’s voice in my head. She was bugging me to come out clean but I couldn't bring myself to do it as I was terrified of the aftermath of the revelation. Alpha Gavin had rejected me because of my rank as an omega, same as Jake but Asher accepted me regardless. It could only mean one thing. — He was content with the fact that I was an omega since I wouldn't be challenging his authority. He has his hands wrapped around me and could bend me to his whims

Asher's POV “Why are you impatient?" Silva snarled at me, plopping on the chair, tossing a file in my direction which I caught before it slipped off the table. Drumming his fingers against the table, he mouthed, “I haven’t witnessed someone like Aurora in a while now." “Even in the face of death, she doesn't mind holding on to her identity like it was going to be stolen from her." He huffed, rolling his eyes. "It made me admire her even more.” I chuckled but Silva didn't react, instead he leaned back on the chair and then began to swirl around, leaving me to go through the content of the file.Before now, I already knew getting Aurora to speak was not going to be futile. She has shown me several times that little things weren't enough to shake her. Or should I say it was resilience?Smacking my lips, I plopped on the chair and one after the other, I began to flip through the documents one after the other. “Alpha Simone's daughter?" I asked, eliciting a nod from Silva who snappe

Reader’s POVSeated at the head of the table was Palmer and on both sides of the long table were high ranking officials in the pack. The dimly lit bar was filled with murmurs and soft music seeping from the large speakers in the four corners of the room.But a heavy silence loomed on the table Palmer and the others sat. They all looked uneasy and the frustration all over their faces was evident. “What are we going to do? The elders already acknowledged her and our chances of denting her image are getting slimmer by the day." Monty said, breaking the silence in their midst. “We have to come up with a contingent plan to take her down once and for all." Jason huffed, crossing his hands on his chest, he added, “I had managed to remain under her reins without causing trouble but not anymore."Everyone seated at the table all had one goal and that is to take Aurora down. Since her arrival, they have been unable to go about their daily business unlike when the former leader was still in

Aurora's POV Last night, I could barely get a wink of sleep as Asher’s words kept hunting me non stop.To save myself from another sleepless night, I decided to come out clean during breakfast that morning and so with this in mind, I got ready to face him. Stepping out of my room, there was an undeniable strange atmosphere. The usual sounds of movement of guards and maids on duty, side talks were absent. Titling my head, I tried to get a grasp of the situation but I was quick to shove it aside. By the time I got to the dining room, my curiosity about the unusual happenings became even more pronounced as I was frantically searching for someone to tell me what the issue was. And as if that was not enough, Asher and Silva were not at the table.No matter how many times I tried to beat them at the dining table, they always arrived before me but today it was different.Darting my eyes around, I was waiting for them to pop out of the numerous doors but they didn't step out. “My lady,

Aurora's POV While Miller went on and on, trying to convince me on why I should run away before the palace guards came for me, I was pacing about with my heart inside my mouth.Palmer.What is he up to this time around? It wasn't up to twenty four hours when he handed over the file to me that contained the progress of the faction, only for him to set me up in the most unimaginable way. What was I thinking? I should have left or more still don't do anything as Elder Garrick had insisted but I had refused to be cornered. Now, see where my stubbornness had landed me in.Pressing my lips into a thin line, I tried not to dwell on Palmer’s betrayal but on how to pull myself out of this mess. Crossing my hands on my chest, I began to pace about, racking my head at the same time to come up with the perfect plan but it was to no avail. The evidence presented was solid, mere words wouldn't be enough to prove my innocence. I have to do something. “Aurora, you have to leave now." Miller s

Aurora’s POVHonestly, it was unbelievable that Asher found my current condition amusing. I wanted to yell at him and express how I felt but I couldn't do that. I was handicapped and the best I could do at this point was to maintain calm. Slowly, I raised my head only to bury it almost immediately.At the moment, he was not just smiling, he had metamorphosed into giggling which made me even more livid but there was nothing I could do.I had been accused of treason and the least I could do was to walk on the tip of my toes with my head bent so I wouldn't annoy him. Recalling his earlier words about me failing either ways, my heart constricted against my chest as my mind raced with different thoughts.Asher was bold with his declaration of presenting my heart to the council. As if that was not enough, he went ahead to affirm his words with a pledge. If care wasn't taken, Asher wouldn't mind killing me even before the end of two weeks. The amusement in his eyes and silent calculatio

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

Aurora’s POVWhile I chatted with Gavin earlier, I felt gazes piercing through my skin. They were curious glances since this was my first appearance but still it was too much. I was just like them and not the alien they were trying to make me be with their stares that bored holes in my skin. Among all the people staring, there was Jake, swirling the content of his glass, his eyes not leaving me even for a second. Thanks to the guests all over and the distance between us, I couldn't tell him off like I wanted. Asher was not coming back anytime soon and I was losing my head so I decided to step away from the table pending when he would return. But to my horror, Jake came after me, halting right next to me with a lazy smile dancing on his lips. There was also Scarlet lurking around in the corner. My instincts screamed at me as my fingers curled tightly around the stem of my glass.Running off was the perfect response to this but I didn’t want to cause a scene. This wasn’t the time
