Aurora“Ouch!” a sharp pain woke me up. Everywhere was totally black like a vacuum, I grimaced as I tried to touch my head to soothe the ache. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to, as I deduced my hands were tied behind me tightly with a rope. But, that wasn’t what got my attention. There was a scent that was fading, but it was a stench that made my wolf growl.“Wolfbane”, the idea occurred to me. This was a word that was only whispered in my days in the kitchen as a maid in the Moonfall pack. It was gotten from a particular area deep in the forest that was forbidden to go to as it was deemed very potent and affected wolves severely.It was considered a treacherous crime to use the solution gotten from this herb, as it's known to cause harm and even in some serious cases, death. It was applied to the worst of criminals to weaken their wolf state. Even on those rare occasions, it was only used to subdue a very strong wolf.My wolf wimped as the effects of the wolfbane began to kick in. I fe

DariusWatching her retreating figure as she walked across the room, I could not help but grin as she hurriedly wore a loose top and black pants. She was completely mindless in her appearance, as she dashed to the door to meet up with Raven’s insistence.“She’s getting ready!” I snapped out. Raven gently tapping the door continuously was beginning to irk me. Immediately, the tapping sound stopped.“Yes, my alpha. Apologies.” Raven whispered back. It was loud enough for me to hear the awkwardness in her voice. Aurora swiveled to glance at me with dark eyes. “Don’t do that…” She stared intensely at me. I was stunned at her gaze, but I tried to regain my composure.She curved her lips slightly, to open the door to look at Raven. “Don’t mind him, he's just sulky. I’ve got to leave him alone in the room,” Aurora told Raven calmly. This obviously made Raven uncomfortable as she cleared her throat.“Cough, pardon my intrusion, alpha.” she said as she slightly bowed to me in respect. I took

Damon“What do you mean Aurora will cease to exist?” I snapped sharply. My heartbeat started pacing rapidly. My wolf grunted in anger as I stared at both Ember and Natasha with dark eyes.The smirk on Ember’s face as she curved her lips, revealing a sinister smile. Natasha, stylishly trying to avert my gaze, with her eyes lit up with joy, said it all. I wiped the sweat beaded on my face, I took a deep sigh as I re-iterated my question again.“What have you done again, Ember? Haven’t you done enough?” I asked with a cold expression on my face.She was taken aback by my inquiry, but regained her composure instantly. “What do you mean, what have I done again? I did absolutely nothing, yet if I’m to take a guess. I have a feeling Aurora might be having a rough night,” Ember replied as she giggled with Natasha.I clenched my hands, watching them celebrate whatever devious plan they mustered against Aurora all over again.Suddenly, I remembered seeing Ember and Serena on our trip back. Quie

AuroraIt was the break of dawn, the sun was already up. Its rays illuminated the path out of the cave. As soon as I stepped outside, I used the back of my palm to cover the bright light entering my eyes.“Where’s Serena?” I thought to myself. I slowly transformed back to my normal state. The resolve to catch up with her and pay back all the pain she inflicted on me was stirring in my chest. I clenched my fists as I tried to follow her footprints in the soil outside the cave. “She can’t be too far.” I murmured to myself. It felt like barely an hour after she left me with those burly men. Yet, time seemed to have stayed still as each second felt like an eternity inside the dark cave.The fear of not seeing the next day, seeing the people I love. “Darius…” A wave of sadness washed over me. “I can only imagine how worried he would be. This was supposed to be a day of joy that turned into heartbreak.” The thoughts were all I could think of. The fact I was taken again, was unimaginable.

Three days.Three days later, Aurora laid down with her eyes shut tight. We summoned the best healers to check on her and revive her. Unfortunately, they all had the same conclusion.“Right now, she’s in a heavy slumber. She’s the only person who can wake up by herself. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst,” the last healer said in a sympathetic tone. The message was clear. Aurora was the only one who could wake up or not. And there is nothing we can do to change it.I clenched my fists till blood spilled out. I grunted in frustration at the various events that led to this moment. From the encounter they had with the rogues, months back in the marketplace. To this, in the forbidden cave, all the moment she was most vulnerable. However, I wasn’t there to protect her.“It’s all my fault. Maybe it’s true. She was only taken in my pack.” I took a weary sigh at how accurate this deduction was.My face turned crimson in rage with the thought of Damon grinning, as she was taken away
