Atlas’s POVI watched her face fall as she processed my words.“Oh,” was all she said, but I could hear the hurt in her voice. She turned and left my study without saying anything else.The moment she left, Auburn, my wolf, grew restless. He began pacing around, his fur bristled. I became restless too. Her scent hung in the air for a few more minutes. Auburn inhaled it deeply, but the moment her scent dissipated, I was consumed by an intense craving, an unbearable, unquenchable thirst. It made me shake with hunger.I didn’t want to admit it, but I desperately longed for Aura’s touch. I craved her lips, her skin, the heat of her body. I craved it with so much voracity, it almost made my knees buckle.I hated the mate bond. I hated everything about it. I never asked for it, never wanted it. I despised being bound by something so uncontrollable, something I was so powerless against.Of course, it all stemmed from my curse.“Fuck!” I said out loud, slamming my fist onto my desk. “This fuck

Aura’s POV“I’m sure you’ve heard by now, but Sorren’s recruiting for a Luna,” Violet said, passing me a cup of tea. I’d gone straight to her house to vent. “Apparently any she-wolf who meets the criteria can enter the selection.”I collapsed onto her couch, utterly exhausted. Violet was right, I’d already heard about it. The entire pack was abuzz with the news. It must have been what Angelo and Sorren were discussing when I barged in on them.“I honestly don’t care,” I said, rolling my eyes. It was the truth. I didn’t have the energy to care about that jackass Sorren and his ‘Luna selection’.“Are you okay?” Violet asked, sitting down beside me. “You seem…out of sorts.”I opened my mouth and it all spilled out. Everything. From Atlas’ deal, to his offer of marriage, to my short trip to his palace, to our night together. The words just fell from my mouth in rapid fire. I barely even stopped to take a breath.Violet listened, stunned. Especially when I got to the final part. Atlas had b

Aura’s POVMy plan wasn’t working at all. In fact, Atlas’ attitude toward me seemed to be growing colder by the day. As a result of that, I was growing more and more frustrated with each passing hour.And to make matters worse, Sorren had followed through on his threat—I couldn’t find a single job. No matter where I went, it was the same thing. No one would hire me! It was infuriating. Although I’d managed to save up a decent amount over the years, it wasn’t going to last long. My brother’s medical needs were expensive. His condition required ongoing medication and treatment.Jackson couldn’t help but notice how worn out I looked. He wanted to find a job himself, to help ease the financial burden and stress I was under.I couldn’t let him do that though. At least not until his legs healed properly. He was in a wheelchair. I felt like a job would be too much for him right now.I’d always been the one to take care of us both financially. And because he couldn’t work, Jackson pitched in o

Aura’s POV“Oh, I….um,” I started, startled by catching them in a compromising position like that. Sorren sat straight up in bed and glared at me.Clearly, I’d clearly interrupted something Sorren didn’t want interrupted. He was furious, planting both feet on the floor.“Don’t you know how to knock?” he said, rolling his eyes. Then he got out of bed and started pulling on his clothes. “This is my private bedroom. You can’t just come barging in like this.”I didn’t care that I’d caught him making love to some other woman. I wasn’t going to back down. He was angry, but so was I.We got into a heated argument while the woman slipped out of the bed and got dressed. Our tempers flared and our voices started rising.Sorren blamed me for barging in, and I told him I wouldn’t have to if he’d just be reasonable and talk to me in the first place. Then I accused him of blacklisting me.“Why are you preventing me from getting a job?” I asked him.He shrugged dismissively. “Why did you break off

Aura’s POVThe moment I saw Sorren, anger swelled in me.He was following me? In the middle of the night? What other explanation could there possibly be? I’d made it very clear that I didn’t want to talk to him when I slammed the door in his face.So what was he doing here?Our eyes locked and then he took off.Not only was he following me, but now he was running away from me?I ran after him and caught up to him easily. Sorren had never been much of an athlete. I could outrun him easily without even breaking a sweat.“Are you following me?” I demanded, stepping in front of him to block his path.He looked flustered and avoided my eyes.“No,” he lied. He was clearly unwilling to admit the truth. My patience had run thin. I could only assume he’d followed me into the slums to cause trouble again.“Don’t lie to me,” I told him, my annoyance sharp in my voice.“I was just worried about you,” he replied.“Worried?” I scoffed.“Yes,” he said, finally lifting his eyes to mine. “I saw you wer
