She's Mine To Claim의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Bishop had spent several sleepless nights ever since Aurora was taken away by Alpha Henry. He knew he didn't love her. Hell, he didn't even care about her. He had rejected her without hesitation. The only woman he loved was Amelia. So why did he feel like he had made the gravest mistake letting Aurora go? He shouldn't be thinking about her that way. He sucked hard on the cigarette stick held between his lips, puffing out the smoke in small circular rings. The door to his study opened and he turned his head sharply, his bloodshot eyes zeroing in on Amelia who stepped into the room.Amelia took one look at him, his bloodshot eyes and disheveled appearance, and a scowl settled on her face. "What the fuck has come over you Bishop?" She demanded. Her heels wrapped on the hard floor as she marched towards him, hands planted on her hips. Bishop stared at her like he couldn't recognize her, then he looked away. "Get out of my room Amelia." He growled. "I won't ask you again.""Are you

The silence that followed Henry's compliment wasn't awkward, but thick with chemistry. Aurora averted her eyes, her cheeks flaming hot with a blush. She hadn't expected Henry to openly compliment her that way. Why was he acting that way towards her? It was almost like he was flirting with her. Her heartbeat increased and she was sure he could hear it because he was standing so close to her. "Thank you, Alpha." She replied softly, her eyes still lowered. "It is a beautiful dress." She softly caressed the black dress, her fingers lightly touching the soft material. Silence filled the dining hall again and Aurora expected Henry to return to his seat. Instead, he remained in front of her, his eyes intense, his expression unreadable. Tyler who was still at the table stifled a laugh and used a fake cough to cover it up. He slowly got up and raised Henry's chair, before turning to the couple who were still staring at each other silently. "Ahem." He cleared his throat, successfully gain

Aurora had taken a lot of twists and turns before she realized she was lost. When she tried to go back the same way she came, she couldn't find the right path. The trees all looked the same to her. Eventually she broke off a number of twigs from a tree and used it to leave a path behind her so she would know if she was moving around in circles. All her efforts proved fruitless. Every turn she took led her back to the same spot, the beginning of the twigs. She began to panic. "Okay, Aurora." She whispered to herself, trying to calm her frayed nerves. "Don't panic, don't panic. You'll figure it out. Just calm down." The pep talk did little to calm her unravelled nerves, but it gave her an opportunity to think. She tried to remember how many turns she had taken when she left the castle. She had taken a right turn and walked down the path for a while, admiring the butterflies that flittered around her. Then another right, following a line of trees that held beautiful orange flower

"Do you need anything else, mistress?" Matilda asked timidly. Aurora was seated on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing in particular. She was too tired to correct Matilda about calling her 'mistress' so she let it slide. She was in a warm night dress and her hair had been dried too. Her dinner lay untouched on the bed beside her. Her thoughts were troubled and she couldn't stop thinking about the kiss she shared with Henry. Mainly because she just didn't let him kiss her. She kissed him back. Sighing tiredly, she got off the bed and walked towards the windows to stare outside. The storm had ceased and the rain already stopped falling hours ago. The cold air seeped in through the opened curtains and she leaned out and shut the window. "I'm fine, Matilda." She answered finally. "I think I'll go to bed now. Thank you."Matilda nodded, but she remained standing beside the bed. With the way she wringed her hands nervously, Aurora knew something was troubling the maid. "Is everyth

Aurora noticed the way Henry stiffened beside her. "Is everything okay?" She asked tentatively. Henry stared at her silently for a few seconds before looking away. "Yes. I have to leave now. Make sure you stay with the maids. A few guards will go with you and bring you back."He pushed back his chair and walked out of the dining hall without another word. Aurora turned her worried eyes to Tyler who was just about to hurry after Henry. "Don't worry, Aurora." He assured her. "Everything is fine. The Alpha just has a few things he needs to take care of."Aurora wasn't convinced, and she clearly didn't like the fact that Tyler used her first name. No one said it better like Henry did, but that was the least of her worries. "Alright." She said finally. Tyler smiled reassuringly at her and hurried away. Left alone in the dining hall, Aurora was just about to head back to her room when Matilda and two other maids arrived. "Are you ready to leave now?" Matilda asked. "Now? I thought
