Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King. Seventeen
Reader's POV Parting her lips, Scarlet tried to speak but she could only wince as she stared at her father in unbelief. With Aurora gone, she had been living her best life with her mother only for her father to suddenly declare his intentions of bringing her back to the palace. “Father… you should rethink your decision.” She said when she finally found her tongue. "Aurora ran off with her lover. Instead of trying to bring her back, cut her off from the family completely. She is nothing but a disgrace.” She pressed on, her eyes stinging with unshed tears. "My decision is final. Aurora will have to return to the palace, this is where she belongs.” He said, slamming his fist against the arm of the couch to show his seriousness. Seeing no matter what they say to Alpha Simone he wasn't going to change his mind, Emma and Scarlet left his study in anger. Sitting at the edge of the bed in her room, Scarlet was clenching and unclenching her fists in anger while her mother had her gaze o

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

Asher’s POVBefore now, I had already predicted Aurora's reaction. I had refused to relay the message to her when her father first informed me because I wasn't sure I would be able to handle her.Her position as the next Alpha had never been a threat to me like she had insinuated. I had no reason to feel intimidated by it because she was in the same position just like I was.As for the cookies Scarlet had sent through a maid, I already knew she was going to refuse it with the excuse it was poisoned.It was the typical Aurora, my own Aurora that I could read through like she was a book.Doubling over while clutching my stomach, just like I had expected, she began to panic.At first, it was mild but when I won't stop coughing while clutching my stomach firmly, she grabbed my shoulder.“A-Asher?! What’s wrong?!” She ratted out, trying to make me sit upright. “I think I have been poisoned." I managed to say without bursting into laughter. She had been rigid since we returned, I just wan

Aurora's POVSeated next to Asher in the car, I had my gaze out of the window, my head was running with different thoughts that I felt it was going to blow up the next second. Pressing my lips into a thin line, I tried not to think too much about what had happened back there but I couldn't."I already pledged my support to you, why are you still bothered?” Asher asked only to intertwine his fingers with mine the next second."It's sudden…" “What do you think about it? I want you to be sincere with me." I cut in, locking eyes with him. “Nothing." He shrugged but I didn't believe him a bit. One of the major reasons I had delayed telling him about being an Alpha breed was this. I was scared that he would feel intimidated but that was settled. And now, I was the heir to the throne, even if he had been suppressing his feelings, I doubt if he will be able to keep up with it now. “Aren't you intimidated?" I ratted out. Before he could respond, I leaned forward, folding my hands on my t

Reader's POVClenching her fists by her side, Scarlet let out an ear splitting scream only to start pacing about as she seethed in anger. It was at this moment that Emma rushed into Aurora’s room and then pulled her out to stop Scarlet from creating a scene.“Mom, are we going to sit back and do nothing?" She yelled, pushing her hand into her hair only to start tugging on it. Placing her back on the wall, she let out a low sigh, “Father called her here to inform her of his decision of making her the next Alpha. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" “All the while he was feigning to be siding with us but he has a sinister plan. He was trying to protect her instead while grooming her to become the next ruler. No wonder he went out of his way to save her back at the Lycan Kingdom and now…” "You should get married to Jake quickly.” Emma suggested. "Why should I?” Scarlet huffed, searching her mother's face for a response but it was unreadable. "I have to be certain I will take over th

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. When we got to the library which was my hid

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

Reader’s POVTossing her cutlery on the table, Scarlet leaned backwards, chewing on her beef angrily.She had just received the most heartbreaking news from one of the maids when she asked why her father hadn't joined them on the table.The maid had informed her that Alpha Simone was expecting Aurora in the pack house that day and so she was livid.Tossing another beef in her mouth, she began to chew on it again, biting her tongue in the process.In anger, she tossed her plate across the table only to start pacing about while Jake and Emma looked on.The moment Jake was informed he had to be somewhere else, he didn't wait to finish his breakfast, he rushed out.Dramas from Scarlet were always draining and so he tried all he could to avoid them.While Scarlet paced the length o

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'
