~Aurora.“Here she is, Dr. Rory Aldrich, the doctor we have all been waiting for.” Sam announced as we stepped into the room.The once rowdy room fell silent as I stepped into it. I had made sure to hold my head high as I walked behind Sam and into a room full of Sturgeon Moon pack elders; elders that never once cared about me.I had once dreamt of standing before them but, that was when I had believed I would be their queen and Luna, when I was being misled by Ethan's lies. After my flight from the pack, I swore to cut off Sturgeon Moon pack and everything that had to do with it, but alas, there I was standing before Ethan and his honorable wise men.With a big smile, I scanned the room and met their dumbfounded faces, and my heart swelled with joy. It was good as they learned that I didn't fail, I wasn't standing before them as their Luna but, I definitely was standing tall with a great significance.“Is this a joke? Are we jokes to you? Forgive my outburst, my Lord, but, what hogw

~Aurora.After being informed by Sam to be available for the brunch by eleven am, I made my way back to my room to find Arne asleep and the trolley of food out of the room.Since the morning was still young, I decided to familiarize myself with my environment and to check if I still had a clear memory of how I knew the palace.Just as I was about to leave the room, a knock came on the door, and I opened it to reveal a young maid about Audrey's age.“Good morning ma'am,” the maid greeted with a smile, "I am Kelly, the nanny assigned to your son throughout your stay at the palace.”“Well, that was fast,” I muttered to myself as I stepped to the side to let her into the room. “ I am Dr. Ro... Aurora and my son is Arne, I would have introduced you but, he is fast asleep now.”“That is no problem, ma'am, I will do that myself when he wakes up.”“Well, I was about to go for a walk before you came. I will be back even before you notice I am gone.” She nodded, and I turned on my heels and left

~Aurora.I cleared my throat for the nth time and straightened my back against the chair. All that Jessie was trying to tell me became obvious to me. Ethan and Isadora were no longer a couple.Who would have thought all these were going on while I was away? Who would have thought Isadora would ever leave Ethan and for his best friend?Keenan had been very supportive of me and Ethan's relationship, or was that just a front to snatch me away from Ethan, just like he did Isadora? Did they even fall in love with each other? Keenan and Isadora? Hadn't Isadora been in love with Ethan? I mean she still addressed him by 'love' so what happened? What happened?A million and one questions ran through my mind, and I took a sip of my wine -for the first time since dinner- to keep them from escaping my mouth. Despite the fact that Isadora and I weren't best of friends, I was glad that she was okay.Ethan still maintained his position; both hands placed gracefully on his laps and his face straight a

~Aurora.“He will be your personal driver throughout your stay with us, feel free to call on his services whenever you need him.” Sam said as we got to the car parked by the gate of the guest quarters. With a slight nod, I said a ‘thank you’ before slipping into the car.The drive to the pack's hospital was quite an interesting one. The driver first kept trying to make small talk with me, even upon noticing my hesitance to speak with him, until I gave in, and we had a full-blown conversation about the pack and I learned a lot of things had changed since I last saw them.Well, why wouldn't it? It had been ten years, after all.Somehow, I was half expecting and waiting for the driver to point out that I looked familiar because everyone had pointed that out but, when he didn't, I finally totally convinced myself that I was not the poor omega whose pathetic situation made her recognizable by everyone.The sight I beheld as we arrived at the pack hospital wowed me. The building was no long

~Aurora.I jumped out of the car once Elijah killed the engines and headed straight for my room. I had a long day at work and all I wanted to do was to take a long bath and sink into my bed, but, was left shocked as I didn't find Arne in the room. It was already evening and Arne was supposed to have been back.My heart skipped a beat as I tossed my purse on the bed and rushed out of the room. What was I thinking, leaving Arne with Ethan? I sharply sucked in a breath and held on it as I began searching the palace. I should never have forgotten, I should have kept his threat in mind and engraved in my heart before thinking of entrusting my son to his care. Still with hastened steps, my eyes darted throughout the open field as I approached it, my hastened steps accompanied by my beating heart quieted down as I caught sight of Arne sitting on a swing with Ethan. His head was thrown back in laughter at whatever Ethan was saying.A smile crept up on my face as I watched the both of them. Th
