Aurora’s POV:“I was the daughter of a rogue wolf. My father was a Beta and he had tried to go against the Alpha of our pack. He was banished and stripped of his position. It happened when I was only eight years old but the stigma followed me all my life. Everywhere I went, I was called the daughter of a traitor and a lot of people must have thought of me as a traitor too.”“It didn’t matter that I was only a child and I could hardly tell my left from my right. My mom died shortly after giving birth to me. I was left to fend for myself, and I had to grow up very quickly. I tried to keep a low profile and make a living off doing menial jobs. I had been saving up the little money I earned hoping to finally gather enough and move somewhere far away. Some place where I could simply be Amanda.” She said, pausing.“Then I discovered your father and I were mates. It was a total bombshell. At first, I was happy, but then the doubts and fear started to creep in. Nobody was going to accept me as

Aurora’s POV:After breakfast, I went to my room to get dressed to go to Jasmine’s house. It was literally a stone's throw away from mine and I got there quickly.I went straight up to her room and knocked on her door. She wasn’t surprised to see me as we practically lived in each other’s houses these days.“Hey!” She exclaimed excitedly as she ushered me into her room. Sometimes she was more excited about things that concerned me more than anyone else, including me.I plopped down on her bed as I said; “He’s my father.”Jasmine nearly burst my eardrums with her squeals. A total drama queen.“Wow… you’re royalty and I? I’m friends with a royal! I always knew my loyalty would pay off!” She screamed jokingly, practically bouncing at this point. Then she took my hands and kissed them. I pushed her away playfully and laughed.“But how did it happen?” She asked impatiently.I sighed and then proceeded to give her the full version of my parents’ history.“Damnn… your life sounds like somethi

Aurora’s POVWhen I woke up for the second time, it was broad daylight. A quick glance at my bedside clock told me it was very few minutes till nine am. Today was a big day for me, if not the biggest day of my life, and I constantly had to tell myself that this was a good thing because fear was gnawing at my insides. Fear of the unknown. I mean what if I was more miserable there than here? I chose to silence that thought. Positive thoughts only!I started packing the rest of my belongings that hadn’t already been put in my suitcases. When I was done, I looked around and discovered I didn’t have much stuff. My entire life fits into two medium-sized suitcases; I sighed and stepped out of my room. I’d better get started on dressing up if I didn’t want to delay my dad. I had no idea what time he planned to leave but I didn’t want to be rushed if he came early. I passed by Bella on my way to the bathroom and I nearly laughed at the way she first froze, then hurried past me. One would h

Aurora’s POV:My dad reluctantly separated from her grasp and held my hand in his right hand and hers in his left hand. “Let’s go in. We can talk inside.” And so I reluctantly allowed them to lead me inside the building. I was so lost in thoughts that I failed to admire my surroundings. A million questions were popping into my head with zero answers, and heck! It frustrated me.Did this mean my dad already had another family? Of course, he must have moved on after my mom. He was an Alpha after all. My heart sank at the realization that I might never fit in with my dad’s new family. I would always be the outsider. …And again, I would be the unwanted stepdaughter. When we got inside, my dad led us straight towards a flight of stairs but we didn’t go up, we walked past the stairs into a small corridor. He didn’t even greet the people, whom I assumed were workers, who had been lined up in the house properly. He only threw a curt nod their way and moved on quickly. His face also conve

Aurora’s POVI was met face-to-face with a slight glare from Emily. Then she quickly switched up her expression to a neutral one.“It’s time for dinner.” Then she quickly glanced at my outfit. Her lips settled into a thin line. Whether out of annoyance or boredom, I couldn’t tell. “I’ll be down in a few minutes. I should change” I replied “It’s fine. It’s just going to be us at the dinner table anyway” She says quickly. “Oh… okay,” I say, stepping out of my room. She was already walking ahead and I had to hurry to catch up to her. I fell into pace behind her and we walked to the dining room quietly. It was kind of awkward but I had no idea what to say to her and she wasn’t exactly eager to communicate either. The dining room consisted of a very long table with chairs arranged around it. No expenses were spared in the furnishing of this room and everything seemed to shine as if it was recently polished. I was 90% sure I would be able to see my reflection on the walls of this place
