《Aurora's pov》 "Push Luna." The female doctor encouraged. "Ahh!" I screamed loudly that it bounced off the walls in the room and danced outside. I held onto my knees, lifting myself up a little and pushed. My chest rose and fell, my heart beating incredibly fast. My hair stuck to my sweaty face and the gown I wore was plastered to my sweaty body. Xavier had one knee on the bed the other on the floor, and one of his arms holding my back while the other removed the tresses off my face. "You got this my love. If anyone can do it, it will be you." He whispered in my ear, kissing my cheek despite me being so sweaty. "Come on Luna. Push!" The female doctor encouraged louder while the other nurses around her made a shout of encouragement. "One." I breathed put through my lips as Xavier rubbed my back. "Two." "Three." I pushed harder, silently begging our baby to hurry up and come out. The pain was unbearable and the doctor informed me that as soon as the child is out, it was common
PrologueMy life wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. The little light I could get was always far out of my reach. It was slipping away until the hope of ever getting to that light was tugged away from me. But then, he came along.Or should I say, I stumbled on his territory? Xavier Knight. The vicious leader, Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack.He was supposed to end me, kill me like all the rumors I've heard, said he would. But he spared me. I didn't know why he did that day. Until little by little, he showed me.Xavier Knight was my mate.Which wasn't supposed to be possible. We were completely different creatures. But the craving of his touch and the way I couldn't possibly resist him proved that this was indeed our fate.
《 Aurora's pov 》The sun beats down my back brutally as I place the now dry clothes in the basin. I had not eaten from morning and the hunger was slowly eating me alive.I was sweaty and icky and in need of a shower. But I knew better, until I was done with my chores I couldn't relax under the sprinkle of water. I sighed, placing the last of Alpha Raphael's clothes in the basin."Hey Aurora!"I whip around and smile at Cassandra. She was the only wolf who didn't look at me in disgust and was my only friend. She was the daughter of an omega and was classified as one also. An omega was the bottom of the ranking chain in the wolf community but seeing as no one knew what I was, I suppose I was the very bottom in this pack."Need any help today?" Her pretty dirty blonde hair whips over her shoulder as she bounds over to me. Even though they treated her badly, Cas never showed how truly hurt she felt by their words. They taunted
《 Aurora's pov 》"Ow." I wince as I pulled my finger to my chest and hold it tightly. I had forgotten that the pan was still hot and stupidly touched it without oven mitts."Oh did the little elf burn her finger? Oh how upsetting." Alice snarled.They were still there, unfortunately. And they were hell-bent on throwing insults after insults at me. Over the years, I had grown to block them out as much as I could. But I'll admit that their words still dented my armor.I pressed my lips together and went over to the sink. I opened the faucet and let the cold water run over my throbbing finger. Their giggles had me gritting my teeth."No wonder they left her in the woods when she was a baby. I mean who would want a freak of a daughter that looked like that?" Becka's words had my chest tightening uncomfortably and my head turning to face her.Her pretty features craft into a look of disgust. "Don't look at me freak!" She scree
《 Aurora's pov 》I closed my eyes under the sprinkle of the shower. The water was freezing since everyone had already used up all the hot water. But I didn't care, at least I could shower now finally.It was late, probably about midnight or perhaps later. I hadn't cared to check the time.I sighed, running my fingers through my pale pink hair. I wished it was a different color, one more common and not so rare. I blinked. I wished my eyes were common too and not so 'freaky'. I let out a breath and run my hand down my body.I was small and barely had any hips. My breasts were small compared to that of a she wolf. My stomach was very flat but that probably had to do with the lack of food inside it. Whilst she wolves were blessed with luscious curves and bountiful breasts, I, whatever I was, was cursed with nothing but tiny breasts, a flat bum, and no hips. I might as well be mistaken as a stick.I lathered my body with soap a
《 Aurora's pov 》I rise to my feet and regret it instantly. The ache was too unbearable but I knew I had work to do if I didn't want to get severely punished.I walked out of my tiny room, shifting my eyes away from the she wolves that walked the halls. Confidence oozed from them, something I lacked.Shifting downstairs I made my way inside the kitchen where the enormous pile of dirty dishes greeted me. There was only one male Lycan, Peter who was one of the patrolling wolves. Apparently, he was good at locating anything.As I entered the kitchen, his eyes lift from his phone and fell on me. He doesn't look at me in disgust but offers a small smile before going back to his phone.Peter's dark curls sweep over his forehead, his broad shoulders slouched in exhaustion as he swiped his thumb over the screen of the phone. He must be, I was certain he was one of the wolves patrolling last night.Taking my eyes off him, I strutted to
《 Aurora's pov 》"Is the broth ready?" Gomery asked in the doorway of the kitchen. I shook my head no. I knew she would be mad but unfortunately, I didn't possess the powers to heat up food quicker."Have it ready within fifteen minutes." She demanded and walked away without another glance or my response.I sighed and continued to stir the pot. My hands were burning with an ache that wouldn't go away. I guess I should expect that seeing as I had been scrubbing and shining the floors the entire day.After I had washed all the dishes Gomery commanded me to wash the floors. It was my punishment for apparently upsetting the Alpha and Luna last night. No matter what I do, I seem to always upset them so it didn't shock me when Gomery mentioned my 'behavior' last night angered the leaders of the pack.I did nothing unjust, I know that. But pleading my case would only result in me getting even more punished. My fingers, arms and legs couldn't
《 Aurora's pov 》The packhouse was awfully quiet even though it was already past midnight.It was very strange. Usually, there would be the howl of a patrolling wolf outside every five minutes. But tonight, it was complete silence.I turned over in my makeshift bed. It was very cold tonight. It didn't help that I had water spilled over my body earlier. Even though I had a warm shower a few minutes ago, it didn't quite help my case.I fisted my hands together and brought them to my mouth to blow. It was a miracle I wasn't dead yet or had gotten frostbite.I groan lowly when I fisted my throbbing hand too tightly. I should've really begged Gomery to allow me to pick some herbs to create a healing balm. I was afraid the color of my hand would stay so red."Maybe it would've been better if I was dead," I whispered but my heart leaped when I heard the sound of approaching footsteps. Whoever it was, sounded in a hurry.Maybe it
