Aurora’s P.O.V

A knock sounded at my door around nine o‘ clock at night.

Hoping that it might be Calebing to take me to dinner, I got up from my bed to open the door, a skip to my steps as I made my way across the room. It felt like I finally had something to look forward to after so many years of living in fear. But that tiny hope inside my chest vanished as soon as I saw wha was on the other side of the door.

Trisha, Laura, Cindy…and Mia. The devil squad were standing outside with a big bouquet of roses and wide grins on their faces. Even before I moved asde to let them in…I knew this wasn’t going to end well.

“How are you, love?” Cindy asked with fake sweetness as she handed me the bouquet of white roses. “Don’t worry, wee in peare

I kept the door open as I took the bouquet and ced it on a nearby table. Forcing a smile, I looked up at them, who were currently a foot taller than me because of their heels. “Thank you.”

“Of course!” Laura giggled. “We want to make up for our bad behaviour. After all…none of us want to be thrown out of our own pack because of an outsider.”

“Laura!” Mia gave her a scolding look before turning to me with a smile. “So sorry for that; Laura has no filter. But you’re no outsider.. at least not anymore. You’re Caleb’s mate!”

“To–be–Mate, Mia,” Cindy rolled her eyes, cing a hand on my shoulder. “You do realize that the entire pack has to ept you before you be the Luna. Not to mention that you’re human…you won’t live as long as any of us…”

All four of them gave me pitiful looks and I knew instantly that they were trying to hurt me intentionally. But even so…they weren’t entirely wrong. Maybe I was being foolish for letting their words influence me like it was doing…but now that the seeds of doubt had been nted…I couldn’t help but be curious….

“And what happens if the pack doesn’t ept me?” bI /basked, knowing that they were thest person I should be asking for advice or confirmation. But something told me, they’ll be honest about their answer, or at least I hoped they would be.

Caroline wanted me to be together with Caleb, so she would sugar–coat the truth to ensure that I wouldn’t get hurt…but that wouldn’t be practical. The reality was, I had no idea how ba /bwerewolf pack operated outside of the hierarchy system. They weren’t animals; they were highly intelligent, powerful beings that were far superior to humans. Normal rules had gone out the window the second Caleb had found out that I was his mate. And Caleb was now stuck with a weak, pathetic mate that would only bring him down.

“Oh! We’re so d you asked!” Trisha and the girls exchanged looks before looking back at me. “If you’re rejected, then Caleb will be given a choice. To choose you or the pack. Then the entire responsibility will be on his shoulders. If he chooses the pack…you will be made to forget him forever. You’ll go on with your life like nothing happened and you never met him and we will never interfere in your life again. End of storyb./bb” /b

The words were like a blow back to reality. And they hurt more than any p, any kick to the gut could ever have.

Caleb was the future Alpha of the pack…so no matter what choices he was given…he would always choose to be with his pack. He was born to be a wolf…an Alpha…why would he give up his birthright for a lowly human like meb? /b

I knew then that Caroline would have told me all of this bas /bwell, but not so bluntly. She would’ve probably convinced Caleb to choose me bas /bwell…despite the oppositions from his entire pack.

“Is this because of Shaneb?/bb” /bI dared to ask.

The shocked expression on their faces told me that they hadn’t expected me to be this frank either.

Before yesterday, even I wouldn’t have dared to be so direct…but where has being a doormat andying my head low ever gotten bme/bb? /bBeing almost sexually assaulted? Being nearly killed by my own fatheri? /iBeing told that I wasn’t even his daughter?

bI /bwas done being the nice girl who kept quiet and got served shit in return.
