Alpha Daniel's POV A sigh left her mouth. She tasted sweet and intoxicating. She was so hot and sexy and I craved the heat and passion that was radiating from her. I needed this. Yet she was nothing like Aurora. I wanted Aurora. But the thought made me nauseous and the thought of Luna being here instead of her disgusted me. She moved her hand from my cheeks to my jawline pushing me onto my back and straddling my hips, pressing herself intimately against me. A low growl escaped my throat as my eyes darted between her eyes and her lips. It wouldn't hurt any of us if I pretended that she was Aurora right? And that was exactly what I did. I rolled her over so she was laying down with her head facing the ceiling and my body hovering above hers. Her eyes stared at me, waiting for some kind of reaction and her breathing quickened ever so slightly. Without hesitating I lowered myself down to kiss her neck, licking my way from her jugular to her clavicle. She gasped loudly and I lov

Aurora’s POV Today I woke up with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and it refused to go away. The hair on my arms stood in a very weird way as though they were trying to tell me something, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what that might be. My eyes are blurry from lack of sleep and I feel like I haven’t showered in weeks because that is just how much my skin feels like shit. Something was wrong and it was only I and Sia who could feel it because she was rolling inside of me, causing beads of sweat to form across my forehead, leaving a trail down my face. She whined softly, pushing against my chest. I opened my mouth but the only sound that came out was a groan. Everything looked great on the surface, the same, nothing seemed out of place or different. Everything seemed normal except the sick feelings that I had, and those weren’t even symptoms of sickness per say. There was just something off about this day, something that wasn’t right… but I couldn’t put my finge

Alpha Daniel’s POV It was one of the guards who was supposed to be at the front door. “What is it Liam” I asked, concerned. He shook his head and continued, his eyes still focused intently outside of the window. “A body” Liam said and the restlessness I noticed earlier in the day returned in full force. “What body?” I asked, trying to control my panic. “Where is it?!” The guard hesitated for some seconds, his eyes darting between me and the window as if he wasn't certain himself which body belonged to which person. He must have realized that he was delaying the inevitable, because he answered, “Aurora… in the woods” My whole body froze instantly. Aurora, Aurora, Aurora... I repeated inside my mind over and over again. Aurora, Aurora, Aurora, Aurora.... I didn't know when I started running toward the woods, I don't know the part of wood I was running to but I stopped immediately. I sighted another guard carrying a body, long golden hair flowing behind her like a river, in his

Aurora’s POV The lights were too bright, almost blinding that I had to squint against it. But then again that might also be because my entire world seemed to be a blur. Everything felt fuzzy and unreal. I opened my mouth to speak, to ask a question and realized that I couldn't. It wasn't my voice which came out. It was someone else's, deep and commanding. “Lay back” as deep as it was, I knew I would recognize it anywhere, it played with the beat of my heart. I obeyed. Alpha Daniel’s beautiful face graced mine, those brown orbs seemed to be locked in worry . His lips pressed tightly together as he leaned over me. When did he get here? Had I really slept for so long? It seemed to have been days, weeks even, without noticing his presence. He brushed the hair from my forehead, gently running his fingers along my skin and caressing my cheek. “I thought I was going to lost you” I couldn't say anything about that, I was too distracted by his touch that was doing things to my body , di

Aurora’s POV “I think I should go back to my place. I am obviously not hurt anymore and I'll be fine” I told Alpha Daniel when he returned from wherever he had gone. He seemed taken aback by my words and I could see from his facial expressions that he wasn't going to agree to it, it didn't seem like he wanted to. “What? Just yesterday we thought you were going to die!”He said as if saying that was enough reason for him to want to keep me here for a while longer. But the way he was looking at me made it clear that what he meant was more than that. The way he looked at me spoke of...well, love? Affection, maybe something even stronger than that, or maybe I was gaslighting myself into seeing what I only wanted to see. It felt like being pulled into a trap, but I didn't know how to get out of it. I sighed and looked away so I wouldn't have to look at him. “You're right. This is just too much to take in all at once but I am fine now. Thanks to you and the healer. I also don't want to be
