Aurora’s POV

Who knew pack gatherings could be this enjoyable?

I didn’t expect to have as much fun as I did yesterday. At one point, I didn’t want it to end. I managed to make more friends than I ever had combined in my life.

I laughed more than I had since we left Vancouver, and I fell asleep that night with the unfamiliar sensation of my cheeks sore from smiling.

For the first time, I had real contacts saved in my phone.

Jenny Cole, whom I saved as “Jenny Fire,” had already sent me three voic

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 28: THE MIRROR

    Aurora's POVI woke up and stretched, my spine cracking in three places, my wolf still curled up and sulking from yesterday's breakdown. The light through the curtains was too bright. I rolled out of bed and padded to the bathroom. Brushed my teeth. Splashed water on my face. The girl in the mirror looked tired; my silver hair was tangled, my eyes still puffy from crying. I made a face at her. She made one back.Then I walked to the wardrobe. I stood there for a long minute, staring at my clothes. The oversized sweaters. The soft leggings. The simple dresses I had brought from Vancouver, the ones that said Don't look at me, I'm nobody special. They hung there like a wardrobe of apologies.I pulled out a grey sweater and held it up. No.I threw it on the floor.A blue dress. No. A pair of worn jeans. No, no no. I was pulling things out faster now, the pile growing at my feet, my breath coming shorter. Everything looked too plain. Like the old Aurora, the weak one, the girl who let

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 27: THE QUIET ONE

    Lucielle's POVMy heart clenched with worry as I watched Aurora run.She moved like something hunted … pale hair flying, green sweater swallowed by the crowd, her silver eyes wide and wild. The door slammed behind her, and the sound echoed in my chest like a stone dropped down a well.I wanted to follow her. I wanted to stand up and push through the staring bodies and find her, hold her hand, tell her it would be okay even though I knew it wouldn't. But my feet stayed glued to the floor. My hands stayed wrapped around my bag strap, white-knuckled and trembling.Running will bring attention to me. I couldn’t risk that. I had to force myself to remember that being seen was what killed people like me.The hall emptied slowly. The councilman's voice had stopped, but his words hung in the air like smoke … protected at all costs, rare and special, keep your distance. I watched the students file out; I could smell their jealousy from a mile away.Behind me, two boys whispered, their eyes

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 26: THE ANNOUNCEMENT

    Aurora’s POVThe professor dismissed us with a wave of his hand, but before anyone could stand, he added, "Everyone proceed to the main hall. There will be an address."The room erupted in murmurs. "What's happening?" I asked, pulling the green sweater tighter around me.Jenny shrugged, but her movements were sharper than usual, her jaw tight. "Dunno. It’s a council thing, probably."We filed out with the crowd, Lucielle trailing behind us like a shadow. By the time we reached the main hall, my heart was already beating too fast.The space was enormous, filled with tiered seating, a raised stage, windows that let in pale afternoon light. We found seats near the middle, and I tried to ignore the gap that opened around us …two empty chairs to our left, three to our right, like we were surrounded by an invisible wall no one wanted to cross."Sit with us," Jenny said to Lucielle, patting the chair beside her. Lucielle slid in, her bangs falling forward to hide her face.Then the side d

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 25: THE NEW LIFE

    Aurora’s POVLucas drove me to campus the next morning, his grin easy and bright in the sunlight. I tried to match it. I tried to feel the warmth he always offers and let it settle in my chest where Logan's coldness had been living rent-free.I failed. It seems Logan’s coldness was more than Lucas' warmth.The car pulled up to the main gates, and I saw Guards in Shadowpine colours, stationed along the perimeter, their eyes scanning the crowd. One of them spotted our car and straightened. Then he bowed.I blinked. "What's happening?" I asked."It’s the new security," Lucas said, his voice losing some of its lightness. "Dad orders them after the falls."The guard approached as I stepped out of the car. He was older, grey at the temples, his weathered face breaking into a smile that crinkled the corners of his eyes."Miss Aurora." He reached into his pocket and pulled out something small and woven. "My child said I should give you this bracelet. She made it herself. She'll be happy if y

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 24: THE ASSIGNMENT

    Aurora’s POVI was standing at the kitchen island, tearing into a sandwich. I couldn't even taste it because of how angry I felt when Vincent stepped in from the hall.He moved quietly for an Alpha; most alphas like announcing their authority from far away. But I didn’t hear him until he was already leaning against the doorframe.“Aurora.” His voice was gentle. “I know you are angry. But we really need to talk.”My wolf stirred, lifting her head from where she’d been sulking in my chest. Control yourself, she whispered. You are acting out of place because of your emotions.I bit into the sandwich harder than necessary. Chewing hard before I Swallow. I didn’t look at him, but this was just because of my own stubbornness.Vincent sighed. He crossed the room and sat on the stool across from me, his big hands folding on the marble like he was bracing for something.“Listen to your mother,” he said. “She only wants what’s best for you.”I laughed. It came out ugly and short, crumbs falling

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 23: FORCED PROXIMITY

    Aurora’s POVLogan set me down just inside the back door, his hands lingering a second too long on my waist before he let go.I didn’t look at him. I didn’t look at anyone. I walked straight past the kitchen where my mother’s voice was already rising … baby, wait … and up the stairs with my spine so straight it hurt.I closed my bedroom door behind me and turned the lock.Then I stood there in the dark and listened to my own heart hammering against my ribs like it wanted out.“Baby.” My mother’s soft voice came through the woods. “Aurora. Please. Can we talk?”I didn’t answer. I walked to the bathroom, turned the shower on as hot as it would go, and blasted music from my speaker until the walls shook. I stood under the water until my skin turned pink and my fingers wrinkled, and I cried again … because I was too tired to hold them in anymore.I didn’t come out until the water ran cold.I fell into bed still damp, undressed, and slept like I’d been drugged. I woke up, and the sun was
