All Chapters of The Alpha's Vengeance: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

AURORA“Hey, little one, where are you going?” A male voice called from behind me. I turned and saw two men standing behind me, looking at me with a look that gave me chills.“I’m going home.” I said as fear gripped me. I looked around and we were the only ones around. They stepped closer and I stepped back.“We should have fun with her.” One of them said,“Leave me alone,” I said, my voice getting loud.“We should have fun with her, after all she gives it freely to the Alpha’s son.” the other one said with a smirk.I wondered why they were saying such things. These are my pack people. They know me, I grew up here, even if I’m human.“I’m not like that, Damon and I are just friends.” I said defensively.They both laughed; it sounded evil and a scary chill was on my spine. One of them stepped forward and touched a strand of my hair.“I guess he’s attracted to you, because of your blonde hair.” he sniffed my hair and dropped it in disgust.I turned to leave but he quickly grabbed me.“R

AURORA“The day I ended our friendship… walking away from you was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It felt like my heart split in two.” I said, as my hand reached up to touch my chest.“As I walked home, I kept thinking of what my father would do to me. But I didn’t care anymore. I had to see you one last time… to tell you goodbye… face to face.”“Rora… it hurt; gods, it hurt so bad; when you said those words to me. I wanted to grab you, lock you away and throw away the key so you’d never leave me.” he said, his voice low, broken.“But you shattered me, when you said you weren’t happy with me, that I should stay away from you.” he rested his forehead on mine.“I lied, Damon, I had to. I needed you to hate me so it would end completely. I whispered.“I’m so sorry, Damon. For hurting you so bad,” I sobbed.Damon leaned in and kissed my lips. “What happened next?” he asked, holding my hands.“Two men stopped me on my way home. They had been following me. I tried to run… but they caugh

AURORAI stirred slowly from sleep, the soft rustle of sheets the only sound in the quiet morning. I turned to the side instinctively, but Damon wasn’t there.Then, last night memories hit me; the tears we had both shed, the broken apologies, the gentle way he had held me through. The raw vulnerability in his voice. The reverence in the way he kissed my scars. Damon was perfect.I lay there, motionless, my thoughts tangled in memories so vivid. I was so deep in thought, I didn’t hear the door open.“Good morning, my sunshine.” his voice wrapped around me like warmth.Damon stood tall, powerful, dressed in a lush green robe that clung to his broad frame. A king every woman will die to have, but here he was giving me all of him.My breath caught in my throat as my eyes landed on what he was holding. A bunch of sunflowers. My heart stopped. He had always compared me to them. He walked toward me with a boyish smile; so genuine, it broke me. “For you,” he said softly, handing them over.

AURORAWeeks had passed and everything around me glittered with royalty and luxury, but the air around me was heavier; Damon had changed.At first, I thought it was just the joy of reuniting after eight years, but now, I could no longer deny what I felt; Damon had become overly possessive. He was now someone darker, more intense… almost frightening.Eight years away from him had changed him a lot, in both of us, but in Damon, it had carved something desperate.His kisses were no longer soft; they were rough, almost bruising, as if he feared I might vanish again if he wasn’t holding on tight enough.At night, he no longer asks me to share his bed, he just drags me into his room, bidding me next to him.Tonight, I stood in front of the mirror, dressed in a soft nightgown that clung gently to my skin. Thoughts swirling in my chest, when I felt his presence.He stepped behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist as he leaned down and pressed his lips to my neck.“You smell nice, my sunsh

AURORA“What do you mean?” I asked in disbelief.Shock and confusion crashed over me like a wave. My chest heaved with the weight of his revelation.“I’ll explain everything some other time, right now, there’s an angry king waiting for you.” Eden said as his gaze met mine calmly.“No, I want an explanation now.” I said.Eden’s calm cracked slightly as he sighed and leaned in. “Aurora… you don’t want the blood of that maiden on your hands.”My breath caught. I could already picture Damon’s fury, and the terrified face of the maid trembling as she delivered the news.I clenched my jaw. Eden was right; Damon could hurt her. Without another word, I turned and walked out.The walk back to Damon’s chamber felt heavier than before. The hallways were quiet, but tense. Guards I passed quickly bowed their heads, not meeting my gaze.When I got to the doors of his chamber, I paused only a moment before pushing them open. Inside, the room was dim, but the storm in the air was unmistakable.Damon
