Semua Bab The Half-Life of a Werewolf: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Chapter 61 Aurora’s POV I climbed onto the horse with ease this time, no clumsy tugging or slipping—it felt natural, like I had done it all my life. My body moved differently now, sharper, quicker. It almost felt like my mind was sharper too, every detail sinking in, every thought clearer. The night breeze kissed my face as we rode, carrying the scents of pine, smoke, and bread from far-off kitchens. Even in the darkness, nothing hid from me—I could see every flicker of movement, every shadow. And it felt… good. Alive. Leaving the omega territory behind, I passed through the wide gates of the kingdom. The guards were still at their posts despite the late hour, alert and watchful. Inside the walls, I noticed a few people still busy—young warriors practicing their shifts in the courtyard, their half-formed growls echoing under the moonlight, while others carried bundles of fresh meat from the hunt to the kitchens. A pair of elders sat by a fire, weaving charms of bone and string, th

Chapter 63 Aurora’s POV Cassidy and Bella were already on the training grounds, their bodies moving in perfect rhythm. Cassidy struck with sharp, fluid precision, her limbs slicing the air like blades. Bella met her blows with calm control, her counters smooth and powerful, elegance woven into every motion. Together, they moved like a deadly dance—balanced, graceful, and mesmerizing. I paused at the edge, my lips parting. For a moment, I could only stare. They noticed me then. “Oh—you’re early,” Bella said with an easy grin. Cassidy smirked. “We usually have to drag you out of bed.” I ignored the teasing, still caught by what I’d seen. “That was incredible. The two of you fight like warriors out of legend.” As I drew closer, something new washed over me. Bella’s scent was soft and sweet, like jasmine blooming at night, while Cassidy’s was sharper—bright and tangy, like ripe citrus. It struck me all at once, distinct and undeniable. “You smell… different,” I said before I coul

Chapter 65 Aurora’s POV “You think you can just force me to marry you?” My voice cut through the quiet training field like a blade. “Is that how love works here?” I flicked my gaze toward Cassidy and Bella as I said it, as if to ask them for confirmation. Liam’s expression hardened, but his tone stayed soft. “Cassidy, Bella—leave us.” They hesitated for a second before exchanging a look and slipping out of the training grounds, their footsteps fading behind me. Now it was just him and me. He stepped closer, his eyes locking onto mine, unflinching. “You’re my mate,” he said quietly. “We’re bound to be together.” For one treacherous heartbeat, that sentence felt… peaceful. My wolf stirred at the sound of it, wanting to melt into him. But I shoved the feeling back down. “I’m not marrying you.” My voice rose, firm. “I just turned eighteen, Liam. You’re twenty-one. I’m barely figuring out who I am, living with my grandmother, learning about our world, its secrets, its rules.

Chapter 67 Liam’s POV I shot him a sharp look, but Lucious only grinned wider. “Don’t be ridiculous,” I muttered. “It’s not seduction. It’s a strategy.” He chuckled under his breath. “Strategy? You sound like Father. Next thing I know, you’ll be drawing battle plans to win her heart.” “I don’t care about her heart,” I said flatly, my voice like steel. “I care about what she represents. Once she agrees to marry me, I’ll have the title, the power… and Mother will come home. That’s all.” Lucious shook his head, frustration clear in his eyes. “Then you’re going about it wrong. You have to treat her right. Start by being nice to her.” “Nice?” I echoed, unimpressed. My lip curled in disdain. “Nice to a weak girl… and still manages to be proud? Ugh.” “Yes, Liam. Do things for her. Make her feel special,” he insisted. I scoffed. “That sounds like a lot of unnecessary work. I already have the kingdom’s burdens on my shoulders. This—” I gestured carelessly, “—is too much.” Luciou

Chapter 69 Aurora’s POV By the time training ended, my arms ached pleasantly, and my stomach reminded me I hadn’t eaten since morning. The three of us sat down for lunch in the mess hall, the warm smell of roasted meat and bread filling the air. I ate quietly, my mind wandering. It struck me then—I had been here almost a month. A month of training, learning, connecting… and yet my thoughts drifted to my grandmother. Was she safe? Did she miss me as much as I missed her? The silence wrapped around me until Bella suddenly burst out laughing, loud enough to startle me. I raised a brow at her. “What’s so funny?” Bella grinned, already half choking on her food from laughter. “I just remembered something. Cassidy—do you remember when we were kids, and your dad asked all of us to help gather herbs from the forest?” Cassidy laughed immediately. “Oh, the day Liam swore he was too important to be running errands?” Aurora raised her brows, intrigued. “What happened?” Bella lean
