Aurora

I woke with a hollow ache lodged deep inside my chest, my heart feeling painfully empty, lonely, and bruised as I sat up slowly on the bed, the duvet still half-clung to my trembling frame. It had only been moments since the door had shut behind him, yet the silence he left behind already felt unbearable.

I hadn't seen Damian for the past two days, and even when I finally gathered enough courage to go check on him and apologize for the horrible words I had thrown at him, I was surpri

    Aurora“Where are we?”“I don’t know. But I feel a certain connection,” Keira hummed, and I could feel that subtle eagerness riding beneath her voice.“What’s that?”Silence.Then she spoke again, her voice lower this time. “Maybe we should proceed. I think something awaits us at the far end of this road.”“We are in a place we don’t know and…”I paused as I turned backwards and almost gasped out my breath, stumbling into the crushed grasses at the sight before me.“No…”The word slipped from my lips as I pulled back slightly.The light shimmered like rays, towering upward and disappearing into the sky. A strange blend of green and blue. It looked like a barricade, a surge of ancient magic, something that should only exist in fantasies.I couldn’t fully describe what it looked like, but it pulsed like an electric veil connecting the rays together.My eyes widened as my mouth fell open. I knew it was a bad idea, but my body moved before my senses could fully process it.I stepped towar

    AuroraI’m not unconscious. I’m alive. I’m awake, but I can’t seem to feel my body. It’s as if my entire being changed from the impact of that punch to my back.The pain in my lower abdomen only seemed to increase, making it impossible to lift myself from the floor without a groan slipping from my lips.I don’t know what they want from us, from me, and even though fear curled around me and settled deep within my chest, it still didn’t make me want to quit fighting.I can’t let them take me again. I can’t let myself go through another torrent of pain, and goddess knows what their intentions are this time.I curled up with Keira’s aid, and we dodged another attempt to strike us. It wasn’t a light punch, and it had been a narrow escape too, because if that blow had connected, it would have sent us straight into unconsciousness.My heart screamed for Damian, for help, for his presence. For rescue from whatever this entire ordeal was. I didn’t even see this coming. I’m not even sure how it

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   138: Abyss of darkness 2

    DamianI hated the fact that I had let her see how terrified I truly was. This wasn’t the initial plan Aaron and I had crafted to get the witch to a point where manipulating her into believing us would become easier.Maybe, at some point, I simply couldn’t stand the audacity anymore. Or the horrifying recognition of her intentions, even without her saying them aloud.But who wouldn’t be terrified?Hearing her threaten my mate was one thing, but the mirrors… the faint glow spreading across them before the image of Aurora finally appeared…My heart dropped violently at the sight before me.It was the kind of horror I couldn’t even find the strength to voice aloud, yet it still cracked something heavily guarded inside my chest.“Aurora!” I screamed, trying to reach her, but the shackles only tightened harder than before, pulsing with dark magic three times stronger than the initial force. My knees slammed against the hard marble floor as pain shot violently through me.I couldn’t stand t

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   137: Abyss of darkness 1

    Monica All I wanted was for him to fall into my trap. I wanted him to see all the goodness woven into my promises and to embrace the freedom and light that came with pure dominance. And in return, my condition, when properly layered, would finally be met. But what if it didn’t work? What if he didn’t want every good thing I had promised him? What if all he ever wanted was the freedom to be with his mate and nothing else? No… I bit down on my lips as my heart lurged violently and furiously, the air of dominance slipping through every space of my body. But I quickly pulled it back within myself as I studied him for a while. I wasn’t wrong when I told myself he was a man of pure heart and strong will. And I wasn’t merely flattering myself when I said he was handsome. So gorgeous and even more breathtaking at close range that his scent alone was intoxicating, like I was getting drunk off it, and I never wanted the intoxication to end. If nothing else, I wanted more. Not that I

  • The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted   Author's note

    Alert. There are intense triggers and spoilers in the next few chapters. Please don’t skip them. I promise they won’t feel dragged out before the story finally begins to fall into place. It should take only about five chapters or thereabouts. Damian and Aurora’s journey is far from predictable, as more shocking twists and gripping turns are yet to unfold. The Moon Goddess still has a lot in store for them. And as the saying goes, truly extraordinary things never come easy. Fingers crossed… The journey continues. We are yet to hear from Aurora, so we still don’t know what has happened to her or where she has been taken. And with an ancient witch as powerful as Monica involved, I don’t think things are going to get any easier.

    DamianHer eyes fixed ahead while her head remained perfectly still toward a dark path I wasn’t interested in discovering, either because I simply didn’t care or because my tense heart refused to register it.Even then, my mind wasn’t here.“Any progress?” I asked Aaron, who was still fighting the pull relentlessly.Silence.Then came a faint yet determined hum.“I don’t know,” he muttered. “But I’m still trying. I doubt we can break through unless the witch does something… or we somehow find another way around it.”“Then we can’t stay still. Fight, Aaron. Fight. We are not weak alphas meant to be reduced to puppets by some witch,” I urged, straining against my restraints while enduring the stinging pain coursing through our bloodstream from whatever had been forged into those shackles.“It’s not that easy,” Aaron groaned tiredly. “Not unless we do something.”“Do something like what?” I asked.But my wolf suddenly went silent, as though he were observing the witch with quiet uncertai

    AuroraI felt really lively and alive as I awoke this morning. I was still in the pajamas and the single-strand top that came with the pants, the same blue color blend that matched those of Damian from before.It seemed that was one of the colors he loved the most. Speaking of which, after he chang

    Damian Taking my seat at the head table, I made sure the space reserved for Aurora remained untouched by anyone. That was how it had been for the past two days, and Beta Darius had respected that without question.No… it wasn’t just because I wanted to give the bond a chance. It had become somethi

    DamianI felt her stir when I brought out that simple gown, and it touched me really harder than I intended.It's true she had faced cruel treatment these past four years with Liam as his personal slave; that for sure I knew so well, and she isn't used to this type of luxury, but there again, it gu

    Then he began washing my hair, his fingers moving gently, working through the strands with unexpected care as warm water flowed down, rinsing away the foam.When his hands moved to my body, I instinctively shrank into myself, unsure, overwhelmed by everything I was feeling at once.I just wished I
