Aurora ‘Okay, so I'm definitely the hottest single in the vicinity, but where's the cool guy? Why do all the good-looking ones flock elsewhere? 'They're clearly clueless about what's top-tier. Missing out on a kind, pure, and single girl like me for 24 years. Maybe I should send a quick wish to the universe, get them to wake up, stop being blind, and see they're missing out on someone awesome like me.’ Alpha Ethan, with a heavy sigh, offered a startling proposal. "Aurora, if it's hard for you to choose between us, can you choose both of us? Alpha Nathan is my older brother; I have no problem sharing you with him." 'If the world tries to harm you, I'll stand against the world itself to keep you safe,' Alpha Lucas swore to Aurora. 'I will make you my everything!' "Aurora, my dearest, will you marry me? From the moment I first laid eyes on you, my heart knew no other. You've captivated me entirely; to live without you would be an existence devoid of light. In your presence, I find my purpose, my joy. You are the missing piece of my soul, and I believe we were destined for each other.” Gently, Xander took Aurora’s hand and pressed a reverent kiss upon it. “I vow before the heavens that my life will be dedicated to your happiness, cherishing each moment until the end of our days.” "I love you more than I love myself, so even though you are my destined Luna, I will give you the freedom to choose who will be your Alpha," added Alpha king, Alex, the Dark King. "You are free, through my love."

When my mom texted me, urging me to go home for a blind date, Charles had just finished with me. His warm breath brushed against the back of my ear, sending a tingling sensation straight to my heart. He wiped away the traces on my skin with gentle care, but when he spoke, his voice was chillingly indifferent. "Since Mrs. Shaw is pushing you, you should head back soon." I thought he was jealous, and a surge of sweetness filled my heart. I quickly grabbed his wrist, telling him my feelings. "Charles, I want to stay with you. I'm not going anywhere!" He froze for a moment, then let out a derisive laugh. One by one, he pried my fingers off. "You didn't actually think I was jealous, did you?" Tucking my damp, messy hair behind my ear, he remained as gentle as ever, but his words were almost cruel. "Rose is pure and innocent. I couldn't bring myself to touch her before marriage, so I used you to satisfy my needs. However, now, our engagement is set. She'll soon be my rightful wife. You're no longer needed."
