Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King. Sixty Six
Aurora’s POVA month had passed since Silva's death.A month since I was bathed with his blood and Asher collapsing beside me, almost lifeless. A week since the curse broke, setting a new life ahead of us.The only thing that hadn’t changed was Asher’s refusal to name a new beta.I had brought it up a few days ago, careful not to irk him but he had waved it off with a simple response, “Not yet.”He didn't need to give me reasons because I knew exactly what that meant. He didn’t trust anyone to take up that position, not after Silva’s betrayal. Well tonight, there was a regional gathering in the pack event centre and as the co host, I couldn't escape this not after a year of having it my way.And for the first time since I became the Queen, I was going to attend a formal function by Asher’s side.The regional gathering was a formal event that was heard quarterly. Alpha's from all over the region gathered to encourage peace and stability among themselves. With my heart bubbling with e

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

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

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 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 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'

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 ,

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

Two Times Rejected, Now Desired By The Lycan King. Seventy Nine
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
