She distanced herself further away from Alex, her head throbbing in pain.
The maids who were at the side watching the entire scene all this time, had rushed to the miss, since it seemed the visitor was someone miss Aurora didn't know.
Is it because of what happened to your parents?, Alexander said , which had Aurora look sharply at him, what happened to my parents?, she said her eyes gleaming with tears.
Something clicked in Alexander's head, he seemed to realize Aurora had lost her memories and he refrained from speaking again about Aurora's parents.
He wanted her forgiveness, and mentioning what happened to her parents would wipe his chances of doing that.
Aurora was his childhood sweetheart, as they had attended the same school while growing up, he honestly loved the girl but he wasn't from a rich family, and was still struggling to do alot of things, as he was the first son.
He had taken a job which he introduced to Aurora as a private investigator for rich families, and they both had done the job together.
The job at first was going well , as the pay was good to pay for most of their school bills, and that of Aurora's brother , till the orders they were getting from their superiors were beginning to get out of hand.
That was when they realized that the had joined a secret association which pretended on the surface to be a private investigation company .
Due to their competence in the job, the superiors began to introduce them to the shady part of the bussiness which involved , stealing from some of the rich families they worked for.
Aurora at first had rejected the offer, but Alexander had went on pressuring her about it, she needed money to pay off her father's debts, which after a good amount of pressure she had aggred to join.
They began stealing from the rich families, which was how she came across a key in one of the family's safe , which was about drop down, when they were about to leave the safe, if the key had touched the ground, it would have alerted the security system of the house.
She had picked it up immediately placing it inside her pocket and forgetting about it.
Alexander looked at Aurora as she held her head in pain, not Minding the maids surrounding her, he walked closer to her .
He was about to grab her, when he felt a jaw breaking puch land on his face, how dare you enter my house?, came Derk's furious voice.
He was at his office, when the security alarm he placed at his mansion beeped, which meant someone had broke into his house .
He had rushed back , his mind restless at the thought that something had happened to Aurora, and walked in to the sight of the betrayal of a man Alex trying to grab Aurora.
So it's you Alex said to Derk, I should have know, he said glaring at Derk, recollecting the memory of how he had once stormed in , on his date with Aurora.
How dare you walk into my house , and touch my financee! , he said glaring at Alex , did you say fiancee?, how can my woman be your fiancee.
Your woman!, the Alpha sneared , the audacity of another man calling his mate his woman, and his wolf snapped.
Wolves were possessive of their mate marked or unmarked, and even if he didn't love Aurora, she was his to have , only his.
His eyes glinted a fierce glint of gold, as he glared at Alex, he was trying to remain in control as his wolf was seeking for dominance.
The parlor turned cold all of a sudden, and Aurora who was now held by the maid, was holding her head as the pain increased and voices rang in her head , familiar to the voice of the man who had claimed to be her lover.
Alex could feel the chill run down his back, as he cowered back , he had come to know the existence of wolves during one of his mission, which was why he had prepared something to protect his self, wolf's bane
He saw Derk's eyes glint a deep shade of gold , and he knew he had angered the man, who also knew Thomas burns who he worked for was shady, as the job had opened his eyes to slit of the mysterious secrets of the world.
Derk took a step closer to Alex, trying to get the man in a choke hold, he brought Alex back to the wall choking him, and Aurora turned screaming to Derk to let go of the man.
Alex who was about to choke to death, reached his hand into his pocket, taking the Wolf bane and splashed it on Derk's eye, getting a second of freedom, he ran out of the house immediately.
Derk had a high tolerance to wolf's bane, but since the target was his eyes, he nevertheless felt the painful sting.
He cursed under his breath, he would have killed him if not for the presence of Aurora , who was now on the floor looking at nothing in particular.
He walked to stop in front of her, squatting down to look at her, are you alright he asked for Aurora to look at him , her eyes deviod of emotions.
Why didn't you tell me about Alex she said?, not sure if it was what she had wanted to ask him, he isn't worth mentioning he said , helping her up .
Aurora looked into his eyes, that had returned to it's dark color, what are you hiding from me Derk?, she asked him , pleading with her eyes for the truth.
He betrayed you and your parents he said, which was a half lie and truth, what did he betray me? for she asked him.
I still don't know, I met you after your break up with him, you parents had arranged the blind date to help you get over him , he said his face not giving away even the slightest of emotion.
Aurora looked at him, she was already tired , and she could no longer tell apart the lies from the truth, the maids had scattered back to their posts, leaving the couple behind.
I sincerely wish you are telling me the truth Derk, I would never forgive you if I ever find out you have been lying to me all these while, she said walking past him to walk upstairs.
Derk stood alone in the parlor, his fists clenching, he was already gaining her trust and love, only for that bastard to come out of no where trying to disrupt his plans.
He was also surprised of how his wolf was protective of Aurora, things were becoming messy and he had to take the next step in his plan, he needed Aurora to love him without any doubt.
Should he marry her to convince her, he loved her , she was already bearing the tittle of her fiancee, he would do anything and everything to achieve his goal.
Aurora walked into her room, heading straight into the shower, she let the water cascade down her body, hoping it would wash away her pain and fear.
The fear of not knowing, the pain that she couldn't place a finger on, she stood under the shower till she felt cold before walking out, and returned to sit on her desk.
Her phone pinged and she looked at the incoming message to find it was from equity law firm, she had been hired as a lawyer for the firm.
This was at least the only good news , she had received in a long while, and she was very happy, she would have shared it with Derk if not for what happened this evening.
She sent her reply back to the company that she would be starting work the nex day .
