Aurora POV Forcing myself to move, I looked over the sofa's edge to see Alec standing in the doorway in nothing but his sweatpants and bed hair. His handsome face crumpled in hurt; I could see those walls we had slowly knocked down today quickly going back up higher than before. Sighing, I held his gaze; our eyes danced momentarily in a lover's quarrel. I wanted to apologise, to say I didn't mean what I had said, to save him any hurt. But the truth was I did mean it, and in the long run, no one would benefit from my lying. "Alec..." I rasped, but he cut me off with a shake of his head, his dark hair falling over his eyes, but not before I caught how they had turned cold. He nodded over my head to Finn, pretending I didn't exist. "Lara is stable." He clarified before giving me his back to leave with a slam of the door behind him and taking all the air with him. Sucking my lips to stop me from crying, I slid back down against the soft grey sofa, my fingers running along the groves of

Alec POVStaring at the hardwood door of my office, I squeezed the wood of my desk, prepping myself for a conversation that I really didn't want to have. I could hear Aurora and Finn in the hallway outside, and I suspected they were on their way here so Aurora could explain. She must want to talk, but right now wasn't the time! I knew I had no right to be angry or jealous overhearing her confession, but it didn't stop that I did. The fact she thought I wouldn't fight for her stung. I did care! I always had! But unlike Hugo, I couldn't just drop everything and put her first, no matter how much I wanted to. I had to put my pack first, even before me. "You weren't Alpha when you let her go." Wrath grunted. Sighing, I knew he was right. "No, but if I hadn't done what my father had asked, he would have allowed Hugo to lead; the pack my father had sacrificed so much for would have been turned into a laughing stock! I had no choice." I uttered defensively. "If you say so!" He muttered be

Aurora POV "What are you doing.." I started to say, but my voice stuck in my throat, seeing his eyes darken as I took in my outfit. Looking past Alec, I tilted my head to look at Finn, who stood in the carport, hands shoved in his pockets as he watched us nervously. "Dickhead!" I mouthed through the glass, rolling my eyes at Finn. "I could ask you the same thing!" Alec yapped, bringing me back to the here and now. Sighing, I watched him slip his jacket off and shove it at me before he clipped his seatbelt up. "Aurora." He warned as I stared at the fabric on my lap, debating my next move. Did I want an easy car ride, or did I want to prove a point? Taking it, I threw it on the back seat of the car dismissively, deciding if he wanted to be an asshole, then fine! Two can play this game. "Alec!" I returned his warning tone, ignoring him. Crossing my legs 'innocently,' I allowed my dress to rise over my hips as I turned to look out the window again. "You are not leaving this car w

Hugo POV "I'm going to get to my knees and take your dick out now, Hugo." Aurora purred seductively against my lips. "Don't let me stop you!" I grinned at her. Fuck she smelt amazing; the confidence she wore outshined even that skimpy dress that my eyes were glued to. I hadn't been lying earlier when I told her I hadn't been able to go through with fucking anyone else. I had played around and tried to get myself hard, but since leaving V's room and seeing the disgust on Jason's face, I had been unable. I grinned as I watched Aurora sink to the floor to do what she had promised. I didn't even have time to think. She yanked my jeans and boxers down about six inches and grabbed me with her right hand. I've never had anyone squeeze me like this before. And I've had a lot of girls! But the way my girl firmly held onto the base of my shaft and squeezed made me moan lustfully into the room. Her touch felt amazing, igniting fireworks under my skin. "You have my full attention." I smiled

Aurora POV I could see the anger on Alec's face from where I stood, and given how Hugo's hand had tightened around mine, he, too, had picked up on it. Looking up at Hugo through my lashes, I expected him to be focusing on Alec, but instead, his eyes were glued to mine as if dreading what was about to come next. My stomach sank; Hugo never feared anything, so whatever this was, it was bad! "I guess I need another drink!" I heard Jason say as Alec approached, everyone clearly picking up on the mood. "No!" Alec sighed, running his hand through his dark hair and blue eyes that usually shone with passion of some kind, looked frenzied as the yellow of Wrath flashed through them. "I need you sober!" He stated firmly. Wincing, I looked over at Jason; I had assumed he wouldn't take kindly to Alec, giving him orders, but to my utter surprise, he just nodded and turned to provide Alec with his full attention. "What's up, chief?" Jason asked, curiosity lacing his tone. "We need to get bac
