Reclaiming His Luna.

~Aurora.Standing on my ten toes, I carefully yet quickly scanned the hall in search of Ethan or rather, Alpha Ethan. It was his birthday and coronation today and the hall was already filled with distinguished men and women from our pack and beyond, but I hadn’t a sight of the celebrant, chuckling softly, I left the hall and made for his room.He told me the previous day that he was nervous about his coronation, about his kingship, and I tried as much as I could to assure him that everything would be fine. Ethan, my boyfriend, was a king and a leader and with me by his side as his wife and Luna, I had no doubt that he would lead our pack to success.I was heartbroken and in pain, since Ethan and I discovered, not too long ago, that I was not his mate, but my pains were quick to heal when Ethan proposed to me three days ago.‘I love you, Aurora, and I don’t care what the moon goddess says about you not being my mate because I choose you, Aurora. I want you by my side, always and foreve

~Aurora.10 years later.“No, there wouldn't be need for extra medications, if you stick to what I have recommended, in no time, I promise you, you be just fine.” I flashed the man sitting across me a smile as he went through the list of drugs I just wrote him. “Just go down the hall to the right, hand the pharmacist there the paper, and every other thing will be sorted out for you.”He nodded again, “thank you, doctor, you are indeed a lifesaver.” I gave him my signature smile as he stood up and left the office.Adding his file to the list of cleared patients, I picked up the next patient's file, skimmed through it before ringing the bell to signal her in. She came in, greeted me and I responded with my signature smile just like I have been doing since the day began.If I had been told that in ten years, with the situation surrounding my runaway, that I would be sitting in a well conditioned office and across patients and counselling them, I wouldn't have dared to believe it. Ten y

~Aurora.More letters from Sturgeon Moon pack came in within the consequent weeks and when I got tired of shredding them like I did to the first one, I began keeping them in my drawer to collect dust.Their request -asking me to come back to the pack - was absurd. I couldn't help but wonder if Ethan knew that it was me, the same Aurora he banished from his pack, or if my new identity as 'Rory' was keeping him in the dark. The name 'Rory', I knew, was a good disguise, but not good enough to erase the similarity of my original name. Did Ethan really not notice, or was he playing dumb?I was reaching into my drawer to take out the most recent letter when Arne ran into my room to throw himself on the bed.“Mommy's bed is not the playground, Arne,” I cautioned as I kept back the letter and closed the drawer, turning to face him.He chuckled, “Don't blame me, your bed is as bouncy as a bouncing bed. Here,” my face fell at the sight of the familiar seal, “Audrey said I should give it to you.

~Aurora.If Ethan's jaw hitting the ground gave him off as surprised, then color me shocked. The fact that he acted surprised about seeing me was shocking, if not infuriating. Did he not know I was the doctor or was just so good at lying and pretending? The letters I received had the royal seal, meaning that it was he who addressed the letters to Dr. Rory Aldrich. Dr. Rory Aldrich-me, or did he really not know I was the same person?I blew out the hair on my face to allow myself access to his face. His brows were knitted, and his sea blue eyes bore into me as though they were searching for something crucial, like they could see through my soul.“Is there a problem, Alpha?” A voice asked softly and cleared his throat, and Ethan took his sweet time to drag his eyes away from me and dropped them on Arne.“Did I say there was?” He said slowly as he ran his eyes from the crown of Arne's head to the sole of his feet.All my senses stood on high alert and I made to draw closer to block Eth

~Aurora.Not sooner had we settled in the room than morning came. We got settled a few hours earlier, and I was still trying to get another round of sleep when Arne stirred awake next to me.“You should get some more sleep,” I said as I planted a kiss on his temple.“Is this where we are going to live from now on?” He asked, paying no heed to my request.“No. No, we will be out of here as soon as possible. I just have to do a little job of taking care of some patients. Those patients we saw yesterday and just a little more, then we will be out of this place.”Arne pinned a look on me for a second before shifting his gaze to the ceiling. “Is he a good man? The man who took us, can we trust him?”“I…he, yeah…well. It will be best if you stayed out of his way.” I set my lips in a thin line and looked away as Arne turned back to me.“Why? Because he's not a good man?”No, because he is your father and he just may be out for your head. I bit back the sentence and swallowed it back with a sp
