AngerBetrayalRage.That's exactly how I have been feeling for the past four days. Yes. It's been four days since I was kidnapped by my mate. And he'd made sure there was no way to escape from here. I'd been locked in here since we arrived and the only person that came in here was the cook. Whenever she brings food in here, of course.And you know the biggest shock I got when I came? Kaizen is a king. Not just any king, he was the Alpha King. Funny how he had always turned down the people's request but here he was now, a king. The very one which I despised with my very being.I haven't seen him for the past four days. As soon as we had gotten down from the car four days ago, and I wondered why the crowd was gathering around us, not knowing they were trying to welcome their king.“Why are they all bowing their heads to you? Are you like a god now or something?” I had wanted my tone to come out as sarcastic instead it came out as a curious question.“No, I'm their King. It would be a p

Aurora's POVI couldn't sleep. I have been tossing and turning on the bed for the past two hours. I couldn't keep my conversation with Kaizen out of my head.I couldn't believe that I had agreed. I agreed to give him a month to prove to me that he was innocent. What if I was making a mistake? What if this was another scheme of his to try and kill me again? Was I falling right into his trap once more? So many questions and no one to answer them. At this point I was beyond confused and unsure. It was now that I craved my wolf's opinion about this but she has been silent since Kaizen left the room. He had promised to let me walk around the kingdom freely only if I promised not to try and run away. And of course, I agreed. If I spend another day locked up in this room, I might lose my senses. A large part of me wanted to believe him. So much. But the other part of me refuses to trust him. And it felt like I was having an internal battle with both sides. 'What if he tries to kill you ag

I sat by the garden, lost in my thoughts. I love how the flowers danced in the gentle breeze, and how the sun shone down on my face, warming my skin. The cold breeze whipped my hair to my face and I wrapped my sweater tighter around my body, trying to ward off the chill. It's been two days since my last conversation with Kaizen and he had respected my decision, thankfully. I haven't seen his face for the past two days and I was grateful for that. I needed to think, I needed to be away from him. I knew I couldn't stop my heart from doing something that would ruin us if I didn't. My resolve was already slowly cracking, I couldn't afford to let him break the high walls I'd built around my heart. I just couldn't. I was so lost in my thoughts that I almost didn't hear the footsteps approaching. The hair in the back of my neck stood in awareness and goosebumps rose on my skin. I already knew who it was. He was the only one my body could react to in such a manner. But the real question wa

“You don't like it?” Kaizen asked, probably taking my reaction as a rejection. “N-no, I just... I wasn't expecting this.” He visibly looked relieved by my words. Sure, I was surprised that this wasn't a talk and leave outing bit an actual date? But he didn't ask, was I thinking too much of this?“Come on, let's go have a seat.” With shaky legs, he led me towards the chair and pulled it out for me before taking a seat opposite of me. From this angle, we could see a clear view of the ocean and, now I was regretting not wearing a jacket.I rubbed my hands on my skin trying to create a warm friction and Kaizen took notice of this. “Are you cold?”I nodded my head, looking away. “At least a little heads up would have been okay. I could have taken a jacket along with me.”“You would have never agreed to come with me if I had told you where we were going and how far it is.” He retorted.“Touchè.” I muttered under my breath.Suddenly a warm material was wrapped around my shoulder and I looke

Aurora's POV I visibly saw relief in his expression after he got over his initial shock. “Two?” He said looking almost unconvinced. I crossed my arms. “Why are you finding it so hard to believe me?” I asked, accusingly.  “No no, it's not that. I mean you could've had more, why did you settle for two? I'm sure you've been approached by several perverted people who only want to get into your pants. And your job—” I whipped my head around to face him. “Really? Are we really going into this right now? Why do you want to ruin this special moment for us? Told you times without number that there is a big difference between strippers and whores.” I gritted out. Blindly searching for his suit jacket in the darkness and slipping it on my naked body. I attempted to push past him to the cabin but he blocked my way. “Seriously,
