The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

«Aurora's pov )

"Bond?" Beta Samuel's voice is thick with confusion.

But I can't seem to focus much on their words, my gaze growing hazier by the second, the air whooshing out my lungs harsher by the second.

I take a staggering step forward, intending to perhaps steady myself on the bark of a tree, but there was no bark but air. I topple to the ground, my knees hitting the dirt as I gasp.

This was painful.

"Aurora!" Lily screech. I could feel her fingers wrap around my upper arm, maybe trying to steady me before I ungracefully fall to the ground fully.

"Xavier-" I moaned in pain as I looked around aimlessly at the thick foliage around us.

All I could make out was green and brown.

Green and brown.

My ears rang and I groan, my hands reaching up to cup them. "Stop. Please stop." I whispered hoarsely. Aurora.

Suddenly the ringing stops and I freeze. That voice. The voice I now crave to hear. His voice. Xavier's voice. But surely he wasn't here.

Surely he'd not come to take me back? "Aurora," a soft touch to my arm nearly has me flinching, but I recognize Lily as she kneels before me and looks at me in worry.

Those eyes.

That color.

"I've heard of this happening to mated couples who haven't been rejected yet and are forced to stay away from each other. The bond doesn't allow them to part. It forces them to get back to the other's side. Even if it means pain."

This was Sarah's voice right?

I couldn't tell, my mind a little slow to understand anyone else's voice other than his.

" But Aurora and Alpha Xavier's case is rather different. He casted her out but did not reject her. This makes the bond now more painful as it sorts for answers. " She continues.

Lily turns to look at Sarah over my shoulder. "Answers?" She asked in confusion.

"The bond seeks for answers that Xavier alone can give. Either he rejects her, or he accepts her. But she can't go out of the border. If she does, I fear that may very well be the end of her. And him." Sarah whispers.

"What bond are you talking about!?" Beta Samuel snarls in frustration. "Beta Samuel, I know you were

always a bit slow but never did I ever imagine you to be a fool." Lily sighed heavily before looking at me.

My gaze was still hazy but I could see the deep concern in her eyes. "Aurora. Can you stand up?" Lily asked.

I blinked, staring at her blankly as her face merges into the face of her brother. My breathing grows and my heart thuds. "Xavier?" I whispered. I'm coming to you.

There goes his voice again. The rough sweet sound that sent shivers down my spine.

"Aurora."
