BRIDE OF GRAVES

Aurora's POV "Oh goddess, will you stop crying Aurora?" Aunt Celeste snapped at me, "You are 16 already and more than old enough to be married! You're lucky that you even have somebody who wants you even with all your…issues…" The other women in the room whispered amongst themselves as my aunt aggressively combed my hair into a bun while the tears gathered in pools at the corners of my eyes. Today was my mating ceremony.And my future mate? Well, he was closer to a living artifact than a man but everyone was hollering about how lucky I was and wouldn't stop. I had no say in the matter. My mother had fallen into a coma a few months back, the accident triggered my wolf and I finally was able to transform. I thought that my family would finally accept me, that they would appreciate me.Sadly that wasn't the case. Instead, I was displayed like an item at an auction to be toast to the highest bidder. Within a few weeks, he appeared to be already one foot in the grave with the creepi

WHEN DUTY AND CONSCIENCE COLLIDE

Lucian's pov"I thought you were not interested in attending the mating ceremony," Kai, my best friend and the Beta's son, said with a playful nudge at my ribs as we joined the other guests in the woods where a clearing was made for the entire ceremony.This would be the third mating ceremony that the family was arranging for my distant uncle. I had rolled my eyes at the second which I had been forced to attend when I was 10."Well I didn't want to come, honestly it seems like we're just throwing cash away for someone that's hardly related," This one was even more extravagant, he pulled out all the stops aggravating me because I think at this age he would have enough common sense not to waste more of the family's money on something that everyone knew was not going to last. "What made you change your mind?" Just then music began to play, and the bride was being escorted towards my uncle while he had a smile that looked like a cat licking cream.Was somebody so old supposed to look s

TEARS BEFORE ALTARS

Aurora's POV Every step I took towards that man he appeared more rugged and unappealing to the eyes, and by the time I finally looked him face-to-face he seemed ready to wither away as he recited the vows he must have learned earlier coughing in between every syllable that was when he was not licking his lips lecherously.It took everything inside of me not to burst into tears. My family made up more than half of the guests here and none of them were going to stand up to help, to stop this madness. Time seemed to blur until the Elder was shooting daggers at me, it was my turn to say "I do' to solidly cement my life with a man that was already slipping out of his. Heated tears began to gather in the corner of my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Reflexively my gaze turned around the crowd as if I expected someone to save me.Then it stopped in its tracks when I saw him. The Alpha sonLucian.Could he help me?Would he?I sent a plea with my eyes, he seemed conflicted for a se

ROOTS OF BETRAYAL

Aurora's POV"I don't have a father," I said after recovering from the shock of his words and backing away a step or two.He looked frantic and desperate, nothing like he was trying to trick me. Sweat was dripping all over his body soaking into his clothes, he must have run with all his might after me, an awakened wolf.For that, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt instead of sprinting off again."My Mom never said anything about my father, I don't have any way of confirming if we are related or not it's possible that you are-" "Lyra Nightshade, daughter of one of the gamma families of the thornblade pack, that's your mother right?" I was lost for words; when I found them, it was a whisper. "Yes…but…how she's a werewolf and you're…" "A witch correct," he completed it for me helpfully. "Sometimes love doesn't care about differences…" he said, then his eyes were sad, "at least at first.." A tsunami of emotions crashed into my heart but beyond the confusion, shock, and ev

BENEATH THE FROZEN OATH

Aurora's POV There was a silence that followed so stiff it was hard to breathe in and a lump forming in my throat, my movements becoming shaky. But Ragnar was quick to defend me. "Colt, this is why I always tell you never to skip your lessons. How could you possibly sense wolf energy from somebody possessing such a unique aura? Clearly, you were mistaken,"Colt wavered."I suppose you're right Uncle Ragnar, and if she really is your daughter…. There's no way she could be a wolf you hate them more than the rest of us combined,"I nearly stopped there that would have been enough to expose me but I kept moving, my heart pounding with every step. The dispute between wolves and witches had gone on for generations, nobody even knew what caused it. All of it was simply a cycle of revenge. They took from us. So we had to take from them too. If Ragnar hated wolves so much, then was this a trap? However, he knew so much about my mother. The simple data of a dismissible gamma family. She
