Aurora’s POV It was a deep slumber indeed, it felt so good and believing. Yawning and stretching on my bed, I placed my legs roughly on the floor. Then I froze, expecting the sharp pain of the sprained ankle to engulf me but it did not. I stared down at my leg in horror and surprise, slowly pushing myself up.My ankle was completely healed and completely whole! I ran my hand over my knee, my fingers grazing the faint traces of scar tissue that had once marked the place. So much happened in such a short time that I barely had time to process most of it. It must have been hours since Zee made me fall asleep, whatever she had applied to my body seemed to work. I didn't fall asleep to any nightmare in the woods, and now my leg was completely healed. I went over to the kitchen and to meet Evelyn we sat talking. It was only when she looked at the kitchen door that she froze.And I followed her gaze, standing at th

Alpha Alexis POVShe wasn't expecting to see me. It was very obvious from the look of shock on her ageing face.“Alpha Alexis…what a surprise” She managed to say. I guess she'd been hoping it would be someone else who’d come knocking at her door after being gone for so long.“Good to see you too Madam Margaret. You don't seem too surprised that I'm here” I lied as I took in the scene before me. Her house seemed smaller than I remember.“What brings you?” She asked in what she must have thought was a friendly tone. I could tell she didn't feel like being friendly with me at that moment. In hindsight, I should've figured out sooner that it was all a front. Many things about her reminded me more and more about my past.“Aurora”She seemed to freeze for a while, trying to understand if what she just heard me say was right or not. When she finally came to terms with it, she turned towards me with an expression of disgust. The way she had to take a deep breath to hide her true feelings made

 Aurora’s POV “Alpha Alexis!” It sounded like the screeching of tires and the sound sent chills racing down my spine. It seemed to echo everywhere, bouncing off walls and ceilings, making a mockery of my heart beating inside my chest. I turned my head and saw a familiar face rushing towards us. I knew that red-haired person very well. She was one of Alexis's concubines and I had caught her in bed with him on different occasions. Anger flew through me like lightning, burning me from within. My vision blurred and I could feel a hot rage consuming me, leaving no place for rational thought. My heart raced, pounding against my ribs. I wanted to lunge at her, strangle her, make her suffer like she had made me suffer so months ago. But I couldn't. That would be stupid of me.Instead, I sat there, frozen, unable to move or think. The entire table wen

Alpha Alexis POV It didn't make sense why it had been said that Aurora would bring chaos, why? She didn't look anything like that, she didn't even act like that. And even though she had grown to become a feisty woman, there was still something about her old self that was still there. It was all a defense mechanism - her fiery countenance. There was something about her that screamed brokenness, that wanted protection and acceptance but at the same time, she couldn't quite let her guard down. Was that what I had caused her? Did I traumatize her that bad? And as usual the wave of guilt hit me like a truck, I felt like crying again. But that wasn't an option any longer - I could hear my own buzzard telling me, "It's okay you know... We're in this together"and somehow I believed him, even if I knew he was only trying to console himself and me. When I got back home, there was no sign of Aurora anywhere- I knew she wouldn't be out of her room but one could only hope. She didn't spe

Aurora’s POVI know my dreams were trying to tell me something, they were trying to communicate about something more than what I could not put my finger on, they wanted to show me answers that I was trying to find but never did when I had the chance to do so. But there were no answers for me, and I was scared of them all at the same time. What was it? Who was that woman and that poor baby? I wouldn't lie, the man gave me creeps, a whole lot of it.He managed to set my whole mind in an uproar like that. It didn't help the fact that my throat has not healed properly but I managed to pretend that it had, so that Alexis wouldn't notice.“Are you alright?” Alexis asked, “You look pale.-” “Oh, I'm fine. Why are you always concerned with my well being? It's not very flattering if you ask me.”“You fell unconscious, Aurora. I don't know why it keeps happening. Is there something you think I should know?” “No. Well… I mean yes. That is…. There's nothing that can be done. There's nothing l
