Hope Chest Aurora Novels & Stories

If it weren't for my seatbelt, I would have been thrown out of the vehicle. My heart thrashed in my chest in a wild rhythm that echoed in my ears. I clutched the steering wheel tightly in my iron grasp until my fist blanched white and I felt my eyes flash from their usual ocean blue to deadly obsidian. A warning growl vibrated the earth beneath the paws of the four wolves, showing them I wasn't an ordinary wolf. I was an alpha and they should think twice before fucking with me.

“It’s just a pot. The department store isn’t going anywhere. We can buy one anytime. But if we miss this, it’s gone forever! Isn’t a camera way more romantic than a pot? “Oh, right. I checked our joint account earlier, and there was still some money left, so I bought plane tickets. Hurry and pack your bags! We’re taking the new camera to Iceland tonight to chase the northern lights!” I didn’t say anything. I just set the grocery bags down. Then, I quietly pulled out my phone and opened our joint savings account. Our balance was 41 cents. It wasn’t even enough for us to pay this month’s water bill. Meanwhile, Cole’s excited voice kept going beside me. “Babe, listen. This camera has incredible

“But he’s not my——“ never mind. I was dumbfounded because he stopped the rain for me. Is that why he was so sound asleep? Did he get tired and was out of mana? I heard that controlling the weather costs a lot of mana. I went up to the deck and smelled the fresh breeze. The night has ended, as well as the typhoon, all thanks to Zale. I smiled seeing the dolphins greet me and the rising sun. I wasn't so sick anymore, unlike yesterday.

“Aura, I promise I will protect you. If I sit with you, will you come out of there?” She nodded. I helped her out. A huge flash of lightning followed. Aura yelped; she threw herself against me before hiding her face in my chest. “Aura, can I hold you?” I felt her heartbeat speed up. “It's ok, I won’t. How about you hold on to me, ok?”

She was wearing a cream dress but nothing like the one she wore to the Company Dinner, this one was more modest, it's knee length with bell sleeves and lace designs on it and a simple round neck line, Aurora put her hair up and put on a simple necklace and a pair of earrings, with a pair of cream peep toe pointed heels. During the week, Aurora had come contact with a familiar looking Rolex watch, it was the one she bought back in Italy for Nate, it seemed like a century ago that she bought it and she hadn't gotten a chance to give it to him, that day seemed perfect and she had plans to give it to him at the end of the day.

Close enough now that she could smell cedarwood and cold winter air again. Mate. Aurora's wolf stirred painfully beneath her skin. She hated it. Hated herself more. Kael's gaze lowered slightly. Toward her face. Toward her lips. Aurora stopped breathing for one terrible second. The air suddenly felt too heavy. Too warm. Too dangerous. Then pain. Sharp pain exploded through her chest instantly. Aurora gasped softly before she could stop herself. Her hand flew against her chest immediately. No. Not now. Not in front of him.

Aurora was preparing herself, ready to strike at any time. Magda, however, did not hesitate to raise her hand and hand over the golden gun in her hand to Aurora. “Ms. Diaz, I didn't send you any meet-and-greet gifts last time I saw you, so I'll make up for it this time." Aurora breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wasn't what she thought it would be. Aurora spoke calmly and alertly, "A gold customized P210, the Rolls Royce of pistols."

I guess it has all our useful gadgets in it. “No luggage train, and definitely no convoy!” he announces. Angry Aurora walks past us. The sound of her click-clacking heels pours more fire on the flame. “Not even a hug?” I whisper. Sam, my personal driver, is already waiting by her car in the underground garage. He opens the door of her 2027 pink custom-made Mercedes. I got it for her 25th birthday. Just before she enters, she takes off her shades and turns to me. A fake grin runs across her face. I can see her emerald green eyes light up one more time before she gets into her car.

“Yes, ma’am.” “Okay, can you take me there?” she asked. “Of course, ma’am,” he replied and opened the car door for her immediately. Aurora got in and he shut the door before getting into the driver’s seat. Aurora exhaled heavily as the car moved. It's been a while since she has been to Tanya’s warehouse. After a long drive, she arrived in front of the warehouse and she got out of the car. “You can leave,” She ordered the chauffeur and didn't wait for a response. She walked into the warehouse and the first person she saw was Malia. She was carrying a box.

"Anyway, are you in one of my classes?" "Yes, sir. 8:00 to 9:00 am. Mythology and Folklore," I dictated. "Oh, then you might want to tell me your name so I could recognize you in our class," he suggested. I mentally screamed with his suggestion. He just asked my name. I know it's just nothing, but he still asked my name! "My pleasure, sir. It's Aurora Lynne Lopez, but you can call me Aurora or Rora." "Or babe," I mentally said and screamed in my own craziness.
