Aurora’s P.O.VWhen I opened my eyes to a room filled with sunlight and pretty things that I could never afford in my life…I knew that what had happened last night hadn’t been a dream at all.My mind tried to cope with the reality, but somehow, the nagging feeling at the back of my consciousness that kept telling me that this was all a dream, it was still there. Maybe it was some kind of a coping mechanism that I was holding on to? Wouldn’t anyone in my situation do the same?Sitting up in bed, I looked around at my surroundings once again, taking in the beauty of the luxuries. Surprisingly, it hurt a lot less than what I had expected it would be like. My arm was still in a plaster, but it wasn’t hurting thanks to the painkillers I was given. Even the stitches on my back were nothing more than an ache that itched a bit, but otherwise felt fine.Wolf medication was stronger than human medication, that much Caroline had already filled me in about. But now that I was able to think past th

Aurora’s P.O.VRight after Caleb had left, after showing Riley his new room and handing me a bag of clothes that he said were donated items, which I was highly suspicious of, a woman came into my room and placed a large box on my bed, which was tied up with a pretty pink ribbon.“Mrs. Blackburn had requested you to dress in this. She has prepared a special luncheon for you.” The woman gave me a kind smile before she left.A bit hesitant, I went to my bed where she had placed the box, not really sure if I should accept this gift or not. But soon enough, my curiosity got the best of me and I ended up unable to hold myself back from inspecting what was inside the box.Upon opening the box, I came face to face with a beautiful white dress that reached my knees and had large pink flowers printed all over them. The fabric was unbelievably soft and no doubt, hella expensive.I wanted to turn down the dress, too afraid to spoil it, but I also didn’t want to insult Caleb’s mother and their gene

Aurora’s P.O.V“You don’t have to show me around.” I told Caleb, as we walked side by side down the main hallway. “I mean…we could just go back to my room and you can catch a break?”As per his parent’s ‘suggestion’, Caleb was taking me around on a tour of the pack house, but if I was being honest, I just wanted to lie down and rest. My mind was full of the new information that I had received during the lunch conversation with Caleb’s parents and I needed time to digest all of that.It wasn’t easy to just wake up one day and be told that not only were the creatures of the dark a reality, but that I was now ‘bound’ to one by a Goddess herself. That the boy that I had always had a crush on…was now truly mine, bound by the powers of the goddess.It should’ve been like the fairytale that I had always wanted…but it wasn’t. Because I was afraid that once I opened my eyes, all this would have been a dream and my life would just go back to being a never-ending nightmare.“Not yet, I have a pla

Aurora’s P.O.VA knock sounded at my door around nine o’ clock at night. Hoping that it might be Caleb coming to take me to dinner, I got up from my bed to open the door, a skip to my steps as I made my way across the room. It felt like I finally had something to look forward to after so many years of living in fear. But that tiny hope inside my chest vanished as soon as I saw who was on the other side of the door.Trisha, Laura, Cindy…and Mia. The devil squad were standing outside with a big bouquet of roses and wide grins on their faces. Even before I moved aside to let them in…I knew this wasn’t going to end well.“How are you, love?” Cindy asked with fake sweetness as she handed me the bouquet of white roses. “Don’t worry, we come in peace.”I kept the door open as I took the bouquet and placed it on a nearby table. Forcing a smile, I looked up at them, who were currently a foot taller than me because of their heels. “Thank you.”“Of course!” Laura giggled. “We want to make up for

Aurora’s P.O.V “I want to leave.” I told everyone at the dinner table, forcing the words past the lump forming in my throat.Caleb and Caroline exchanged concerned glances for a second before turning to Jade. “Ask the front desk about Aurora’s visitors for today.” Caleb asked, making my heart thrash against my ribcage.“Cindy, Trisha, Laura and Mia.” Jade answered almost immediately, and it once again struck me just how big of a difference we had. Human and the supernatural. It was a bridge that I couldn’t cross easily. They could just reach out with their minds and find out exactly what was happening…a gift I would die to have.Any gift actually…a gift that could help Caleb get stronger. But instead, all I’ve been doing was dragging him down with me.“What did they say to you?” Caroline placed a hand on my shoulder gently. “Did they try to threaten yo-”“No.” I cut her off before she could finish her sentence. “It wasn’t a threat…what they said made perfect sense.”“What ma
