《Aurora's pov 》 A sense of panic had taken me completely off guard, but it was expected seeing as Lily wasn't coughing anymore and did not answer my call to her. I couldn't see her because it was still so bloody dark. And I wasn't so sure I could open the door and call out to anyone as yet. I, unfortunately, didn't have the good hearing of a wolf, so I had no idea if everything was in the clear. But if it was, surely they'd knock on the door to tell me so? Unsure of what to do, I crouched down and aimlessly search for a feel of Lily. When my fingers brushed against her foot, I sighed with relief. I gripped her ankle and shook it, calling out to her. But there was no response. I was no doctor and I sure as hell wasn't graced with magical healing powers either but I patted her body, until I reach her chest and I never felt so relieved before when I felt the quick rise and fall of her chest. "Lily, Lily please," I begged in a cracky tone. I felt practically useless and troubled t

《Aurora's pov 》"I've managed to close up the wound. We now have to leave it to his wolf to heal him and if we're lucky he'll be good in a few hours. " Rodrick sighs and I can literally feel the relief washing out of him and tangling in the air.My heart felt lighter upon hearing his words. Our Beta will survive, this was great news. The best news.Rodrick's hand is stained with blood as he removes it from Eli's wound. My stomach turns at the sight of it. So much blood."I'll give him a dose of sleeping medication so he can rest and not shift much to reopen the wound. " He utters while discarding the bloody needle on the small metal table beside the bed.He turns around perhaps to clean his hand off the blood, or perhaps to take the sleeping medication but before he could, Xavier's voice cracks through the air." What about Lily Rodrick? Will she be okay?" There's a visible tinge of worry in his voice that made me feel the emotion myself.Rodrick turns around slightly to look over his

- Raphael's pov - The door opens slowly and Beta Gavin pokes his head in with a nod. Good she's managed to get her. Smirking in satisfaction, I laughed. " You're getting bold for a guy whose mate is no longer under his protection." I can just smell the fear coming off of him through the phone. A man without his mate wasn't strong. An Alpha without his Luna, was the weakest of them all. I hope he feels the exact same way I felt years ago when he murdered my first Luna. Revenge, feels so God damn sweet. "More wolfsbane for me!" I sang and ended the call before he could respond. I was superior, I was fucking superior. No one can stand in my way now. I would be the strongest alpha alive and with her, no one will even think of trying to go to war with me. No one. Not even the so-called fearless leader of the crimson moon pack. The sound of a sob coming from the corner of the room had me rolling my eyes in irritation. She was a weak Luna and if her death would not have me weaken

《 Aurora's pov》I kept my gaze plastered to the floor as the male wolf led me through the packhouse. I can hear snickers and my gut wrenches as I remember what I had endured by these wolves hands.They were cruel and I should not expect anything less."Such an imbecile for thinking she can escape alpha Raphael. Dumb bitch."The voice belonged to Alice, after years of tormenting, and my brain now can detect her voice instantly.I can hear the others laugh at my expense but I still kept my gaze down. It would be best to ignore them and not waste my time by staring at their faces."What is that stench?" Alice asked with disgust in her voice.The male wolf's hand around my arm is brutal and I was sure if he added the slightest of pressure he'll manage to break my arm.He leads me up the staircase just behind the struggling vampire who was also held by a buff cruel looking male wolf. His face was familiar but I couldn't put a name to the face."Let go of me you nasty leech!" The vampire wo

《Aurora's pov》"Come on we don't have much time!" I rushed out as I hear the snarls of the wolves. They were fighting back.I looked around frantically, unsure of which route to take. I can't go back upstairs and I wasn't sure there weren't others waiting for us the other way out of this nasty place. Cass stepped over the little protruding of the steel left and runs over to me, she pulls me in a hug. " I'm so glad he hadn't done anything to you Rora." I bit my tongue, not wanting to tell her that he did actually break my wrist, and prayed that she wouldn't notice the ugly discoloring that was slowly starting to paint the skin of my wrist. She pulls away and stares at my face, her eyes roaming everywhere in worry. "That's not your blood is it?" Her tone was filled with concern, something that did not surprise me one bit.I shook my head no. "It's not," I whispered shakily knowing the woman's eyes would haunt me for the rest of my life. I had taken her life and had not cared in the m
