Aurora's POV
Everything was happening so fast, including falling in love with him and now meeting his sister.
"Oh, so you now accept that you're in love with him?" Camel asked mockingly.
"Camel, could you shut up?" I cautioned her that most times I wish I could think without sharing my thoughts.
It was sun set and everywhere had become calm and airy. I was gradually adapting to the forest life, and I guess it was because I had the right people around.
"Hey princess, what's on your mind?" I heard him ask from behind.
"Oh, it's nothing, never mind." I smiled at him.
"What are you doing?" I asked, noticing his busy hands.
"Aren't you a wolf?" You should be familiar with this." He smirked.
"No, I haven't seen it before," I said, walking towards him.
"You surprise me at times; should I even believe that?" He asked. "Aren't you the daughter of an alpha? How come you have no knowledge about this blade?"
"Well, there's no harm in sharing," I said, looking at him with interest.
"Well, there's harm in telling a supposed alpha things she's meant to know, her birth right. Girl, you need to step up your game." He scowled.
I stared at the ground, saying nothing as I tried to hold back my tears. There was a moment of silence between us, and I guess he noticed something wasn't right.
"Aurora, are you okay? Did I say something wrong?" He asked immediately, but I had lost my voice.
He took a closer step toward me, leaving his gaze on me before speaking.
"I think I've been too soft on you, and that's the wrong thing to do. You made it clear that you have a strong urge to take revenge, and with this behavior of yours, you won't achieve that." He scoffed and walked inside.
I felt a hole in my heart after hearing those words from him, but he was wrong. I wasn't weak; in fact, I was ready to kill, but I've become totally different whenever I'm with him.
Alfred took my life away from me; he stole my tittle and went against our agreement in broad daylight, and no one could stand up for me instead they sent me on errands like I was nothing to the pack.
I wasn't only going to make Alfred and Iza suffer, but the whole council, and find out about my parents deaths. Someone was behind it; someone has to be behind it.
I couldn't hold back the tears anymore as I let them flow down my cheeks while the memories of my parents flung in my head. We were one happy family; we took Iza in, but she chose to betray me; I gave Alfred my heart and my body, but he chose my cousin over me.
He didn't stop there; he rubbed my foolishness on my face by making me his servant. My heart boiled in anger as my head remembered my past.
I rested my hands on the log I sat on; I didn't realize that there was a nail there as I pressed my hands against it.
"Aurora, are you okay?" Alexis asked after seeing me as she walked towards where I sat.
I was so lost that I could not hear or listen to her as my hand was covered in a pool of blood while tears poured from my eyes.
"Aurora, you're crying? Aurora!" She exclaimed upon seeing my hands. "What happened? You're bleeding; how did this happen?" she said, wrapping my hands around the tip of her dress.
"Alzred! Alzred!" She screamed her brother's name.
"Is there a problem?" He asked firmly about getting outside.
"Look," she said, pointing towards my injured hands. "I found her like this, and she has refused to talk to me." Alexis spoke, bothered.
"Leave her then; perhaps she needs some time of her own." He bluntly responded while I slowly darted my eyes towards him as our eyes met each others.
"Alzred?" Alexis gasped.
"I think you should lecture her on the tactics of being strong rather than being a baby girl. It's just the three of us planning on attacking the whole pack, and we wouldn't need a toddler."
"You have no right to speak to me in such manners!" I yelled at him, getting to my feet.
"Oh really?" He laughed sterically. "Or what? What would you do if I talked that way to you?" He asked while walking closer to me.
At that moment, Alexis was startled already as she moved backwards. I guess it wasn't the first time she had seen her brother in such a state.
"I ask again, what would you do?" This time, he was so close that I could hear him breathing. "Have you lost your voice, mm?"
My legs became shaky, and I could feel my body vibrate as I darted my eyes to the ground.
"Look at me!" He demanded as I slowly raised my eyes to meet his.
He sounded exactly like Alfred when he began changing towards me when he first chose Iza over me. Those hurtful memories filled my head as I let out a scream, hitting his chest.
"You're all the same! I hate you! I fucking hate you!" I cried, increasing the speed on his chest.
He didn't seem to be resistant to the hits, as he stood firmly with no emotion on his face.
I let go of my hands from his chest as I took my first step to walk away when he pulled me back and pulled me into a hug.
"That was exactly what I expected," he said, caressing my hair. "I need you to be strong; this battle isn't for the weak, and I wouldn't want a situation whereby, when you get there, he'll be able to use emotional blackmail to get you. I want you to recall everything he put you through and don't give up until you take what's rightfully yours and make your late parents proud. You've got to right your wrong."
