Aurora’s POV The silence in the room was deafening. Apart from the sound of the ticking clock on the wall, there was no other sound. I could barely breathe and with each passing second, I felt life seeping out of me. Palmer sat across me with his legs crossed and an unreadable expression. He didn't make any move to speak or move his body; he just sat there like a statue. What does he want from me?When he came in earlier ordering Elder Garrick to leave, I was frightened. I wanted to leave too but I held myself from doing so. Biting the corner of my lips, I grasped the edge of the table, my gaze fixated on him just in case he tried anything stupid. Just yesterday, he was victorious that he had placed me in a tight spot and now he was here in my office, acting like nothing happened. Pushing his hand into his hair, he cast me a quick glance causing a shiver to run through my spine but I forced myself to sit straighter.I wouldn't show cowardice, not in my territory and not before

Reader’s POV Palmer kicked his chair backwards only to start pacing about in circles while Aurora on the other hand maintained her initial posture.She didn't trust him even though he was offering her a helping hand. "Who do you think you are up against?” Palmer suddenly snarled, slamming his fist against the table in anger.Nodding at his reddened fist, Aurora said, "You're going to end up hurting yourself if you don't stop.” "This isn't some kind of game you can wriggle yourself from. Take my hand now while I'm still offering to help you rather than…” “You’re up to no good." She huffed, drumming her fingers against the table.Plopping on his seat, Palmer buried his head in his hands and the next time he raised it, his features had softened but Aurora still had her doubts. “Why don't you tell me why you are doing this?" With a shrug, she added, “If you do, I might consider your request and form an alliance with you." She mouthed, watching Palmer’s gaze darkened but it quickly re

Asher's POVIt was already ten minutes into dinner, yet, Aurora wasn’t at the table and her maid also was nowhere to be found.Picking my food, I kept staring at the door, hoping she would walk in the next second but she didn’t, making me apprehensive. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I pushed my chair backwards but before I could rise, she walked in with a long face.“I will serve myself." She said to the chef who stepped aside so she could have her way.“Why? Aren't you hungry?" I asked, nodding at her almost empty plate.“I had a late lunch." She replied with disinterest, sending back the rest of my words but not my gaze.I sat across from her so I had a full view of her face, and I didn't allow my eyes to wander from her as she played with her meal.There was no point asking since I already knew the reason why she was downcast. It was already three days, making it eleven days more for her to clear her name. I wished I could help ease her worries but she wouldn't let me. The few

Aurora's POVSince Palmer left my office, my thoughts had been everywhere. I could barely think straight as goose pimples broke out on every part of my body. Dinner was the last thing on my mind but I had to go. I didn't want Asher to start asking me questions that would irk me.While I nibbled on my food, I kept thinking about how I was going to overcome my problem only to push my chair backwards and in anger I left the table. I had barely walked a distance when a guard walked up to me.“What?" I gawked at him, trying to keep my voice low.Shielding his mouth with a hand, he whispered, “Palmer is here to see you." He said and immediately, my eyes lit up.Wondering what he was up to this time around, I wasted no time going to meet with him at the east wing of the palace. Standing several meters away from him, I crossed my hands on my chest.“What do you want?" I gawked at him, watching as he slowly turned around, his signature smirk playing on his lips. “Miller told me you were lo

Asher’s POVThe look on Aurora's face was horror filled but she couldn't find her tongue to speak. I have done everything I could think of to make her believe I genuinely loved her but she still believed it was all a sham.I shouldn't have told the council I would be giving them her head, I bet this was why things were getting even more complicated.Pushing my hands into my pockets, I made my way towards the window, seething with anger. Her accusatory voice kept ringing in my head. I was already losing it but somehow, I was able to hold myself back. “You…” She tried to speak but before she could complete what she intended to say, I snapped my head, “I’ve always wanted to get rid of you.” I huffed.Pressing her lips into a thin line, I watched as something flickered in her eyes. Maybe anger, surprise or shock. She provoked me first so I decided to return the favor. I wanted to make her act irrationally and see how far she could go with the act. But now, seeing the way she had reac

After a while, he changed his poise, his fingers pressing against his temples as he tried all he could to remain calm.The news Leon, his beta had brought to him struck him like thunderbolt and since then, he hadn't been in his right frame of mind.

The news that she had been accused of treason and that she had just a week to live had spread round the region. Everyone was talking about it making it difficult for him to get his mind off it.“Why did you leave?" He mumbled, digging his nails into his palm.The story surrounding her disappearance, he didn't believe it a bit. He wanted to find the truth but things were getting even more complicated.

He gulped, his eyes all over the place. Leon hesitated.He wished he wasn't the one breaking the news to Alpha Simone.

Seventy two hours to prove my innocence, or I would be executed like they all wanted.Everything I could think of doing, I have done but still, the evidence was glaring, countering all of my efforts. After my fallout with Asher the previous week, I had kept to myself, anticipating the day he would finally kill me. Pushing my chair backwards, I slowly pulled myself up, making my way towards the window. Crossing my hands on my chest, I allowed my eyes to roam around the landmass ahead of me, thinking of nothing in particular.Raising my head slowly, my eyes fell on the gray clouds rolling into the horizon as my mind raced with different thoughts but my heart was steady.I refused to give in to fear. Just maybe I missed a point. Maybe if I had taken my first approach, I would have proved my innocence?I continued to brainstorm, hoping I would be able to find an escape route. Just

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
