PROLOGUE

Adam stared at his baby girl in his arms as tears streamed down his face. This was the hardest thing he would ever have to do but he had no choice. As a delta, he knew he wouldn't be able to protect her when more dominant wolves came. Toya, his mate came to him with the baby's bag in hand. She also had tears on her beautiful face and he hated that there was nothing he could do about it. He had failed her and he hated himself for that. He only hoped they would be able to get over this pain in the future together. “Is everything packed?" Adam asked, wiping the tears from his eyes. “Yeah," Toya replied, her voice breaking. She saw the look of despair on her mate's face and dropped the bag on the floor, then she cradled his face in her hands. “Hey," she said, “I know this hurts but we're making the right decision. What we're doing is what's best for her. We can't give her the life she deserves while we're on the run. She'll thank us for this in the future Adam."He nodded. “You're ri

19 years laterAURORA'S POV“Move in day," I thought with a smile on my face. It was the first day of college and the first day of my new life. I was excited but also nervous. I don't know what it was, but something told me my life was going to change today. Maybe it was the part of me that was superstitious but since we drove into the campus, my skin had been tingly. I chalked it up to first day jitters and ignored it. “Are you just gonna stand there and gawk or are we going to get you settled in?" Finn, my best friend said, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Give me a break Finn. This is college. We're standing in front of my dorm. I'm allowed to be excited," I said, smiling at him. “Only you would be excited for four more years of school," he said, rolling his eyes but I saw a small smile on his lips. “Come on," I said, linking my arm in his as he helped me pull my luggage. He tucked me into his side and I felt content, trying to force the blush down. If there's one thing I kn

JARED'S POVI sat in my car massaging my temples as I felt the wave of a massive headache coming in. Just two more years of this and I would be done. And considering I was a werewolf with a ridiculously long lifespan, two years wasn't that long. If I was being honest, college wasn't that hard, at least not for me. I've always been academically gifted. It however was boring and even though I would never admit this to my sister or the other college students in my pack, it was lonely. First day of class for junior year would begin tomorrow and I couldn't wait. The whole day I've been having this weird anticipation, like something was gonna happen but I didn't know what. The most difficult part of my life was having to manage school and governing my pack all at the ripe age of 21. At 21, I managed to become the youngest alpha in all of the world, well at least with the documented packs. We can't really tell what goes on with the rogues. It was a lot of pressure. My pack was constantl

AURORA'S POV I sat in class, with my notebook open as the professor went on. I wish I could tell you what about but my mind was elsewhere right now and it had been since yesterday at the cafe. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get that beautiful stranger out of my mind. Plus that voice in my head, what did it all mean?When I went to sleep last night, all I dreamt of were those gorgeous emerald eyes. That's a bit of an overreaction to someone I haven't even technically met yet. I tried to focus on the class but I was failing miserably. It's a good thing this was college and not high school where you could get in trouble for daydreaming. Eventually the class was over and I didn't learn anything. I was low-key disappointed in myself because I had higher expectations for my first day of college. I was also low-key mad at the stranger who had occupied my thoughts. Just as I was heading out, I saw this beautiful girl push her way through people to walk up to me. I didn't know who

JARED'S POVMy first day of classes for the new semester had been uneventful. I couldn't tell you one thing any of my professors said. I spent the entire day thinking about her, my mate. I thought it was pretty ironic how I was thinking about her only to meet her a couple of hours later. Life was definitely funny but I wasn't complaining. I was grateful. Something was a bit off though. She seemed... confused when she saw me, like she didn't recognize me the way I recognized her. I immediately knew she was my mate, a wolf always knows. She should have known too. After all, the first thing every wolf is taught is about their mates. We're taught that someday we're going to meet the other half of our souls, someone who completes us in every way, someone who will always be there for us, in good times and in bad, who will love us and who we'll love in return. We're taught that when we meet this person, our souls will recognize each other even though we've never met. Our minds will insta

AURORA'S POV“It's you!" I said then mentally facepalmed. What the hell was that? Why would I say that?He chuckled at that and I swear it sounded like he was a god or something, not that I knew what gods sounded like but I bet they'd sound like him. He looked ethereal. He was dressed in straight leg dark wash jeans and a white tee. He had on a matching denim jacket over the look and on his feet were some black sneakers. He accessorized his look with a simple silver chain on his neck. He had on some matching silver bracelets on his wrist and he had on rings on his index and middle finger on one hand and the index finger of the other hand. His dark hair fell messily in front of his face and I had to resist the intrusive thoughts that were telling me to run my fingers through it. He was beautiful, a lot more beautiful than I remembered and he was sitting in front of me with a smile that made my stomach do summersaults. “The name's Jared. Jared Grey. Third year student here at NorthV

JARED'S POV Peaches and honey, that was what she smelled like. I could still feel the scent wrap around me like a comforting blanket as I started the car. I really didn't want to leave her but I had to get to the pack house. I now understood what Rebecca meant when she said she was raised human and I needed to find out how that was possible. Wolves typically didn't leave their pups in the care of humans. I knew she was a wolf. Hell, if she wasn't, she wouldn't be my mate but somehow I didn't think she knew that she was or even knew wolves existed.Either that, or she was pretending but I could get the sense that she wasn't. She was nothing but open during our date, if you could call it that. Ironically, her mind wasn't open to me this time. I tried to search her mind for information about her but she must have been blocking me. I wasn't upset though. I liked a challenge and it just meant I had to learn about her the old fashioned away. Aurora consumed my mind and it was a wonder

AURORA'S POV“You should have seen him Finn," he was so hot," I said excitedly as I lay on Finn's bed in his dorm room. “Uh-uh," he replied non-committal as he typed away on his phone. It had been three days since I resumed college and apart from move-in day, this was the first time Finn and I were seeing each other face to face. He had been busy with classes and practice, that we hadn't really had time to see and debrief each other about our life updates. “He had eyes so green, they reminded me of emeralds," I said. “You have never seen emeralds Ror," he replied, still not looking at me. “I've seen videos and pictures Finn. Don't be mean. I know what emeralds look like," I scoffed in reply. He gave another non-committal shrug as he still wouldn't look at me. In annoyance, I threw a pillow at him which he aptly dodged. I hated how his reflexes were so good. He wasn't even paying attention yet he still avoided the projectile and it had always been like this with him. “Finn Dav

JARED'S POV I sat in my room, my laptop on my desk as I attempted to get started on my now piling mountain of homework and essays due. You'd think that being in my third year, I would have less homework but that's not the case. Anyway, technically, my homework wouldn't be piling up if I hadn't neglected it to research Rory. Ever since Albert mentioned the possibility of her being a dormant, him and I had been trying to do research to find out her origins. So far, we had been as lucky as someone attempting to find a needle in a haystack. It didn't help that all I knew about her was her name. I didn't know her last name and unfortunately, neither did Rebecca. We had no luck and it was annoying. I didn't want to text her and ask what her last name was, I felt it would be weird. She would know I was researching her and I didn't want to freak her out and have her running for the hills thinking she's met a creep. I turned back to my computer. Why did I have this much homework? We onl

AURORA'S POVI took a look in the mirror, admiring myself. I was dressed in a polka dot halter neck crop top and matching Capri set. On my feet were a cute pair of open toed heels. I wondered whether to wear my hair up or down. The door opened and Chris walked in. I had to refrain from rolling my eyes. When I started college, I anticipated bonding with my roommates and being besties with them. Chris, however, made that very difficult. She always had boys in the room either smoking or having sex or sometimes she had all kinds of sketchy people over. As someone who grew up in orphanages and group homes, I had my fair share of sketchy people and I wasn't trying to go back. “You look nice," she said, “you've got a date?"“Thank you," I responded, “and no. I'm meeting a friend."Chris nodded and landed on her bed, face first. I went back to looking at myself and finally decided to put my hair in a messy bun, leaving strands out to frame my face. It took a few days but Rebecca and I fi
