(Aurora’s pov)

“Stand down Christopher.” Beta Samuel snarls, his eyes glowing blue. Chris shakes his head, as if to shake the command of his superior out his head and then growls.

“Stand down!” Beta Samuel roared, taking a step forward but Lily scurried in the middle of the wolves, her hands out to stop them.

“Stop it. Both of you! We don’t have time to fight. God knows how Xavier is judging by the state Aurora is in now.” Lily urges, her eyes pleading for the wolves to calm down their rage.

But a growl comes out of Beta Samuel’s chest and rumbles. Lily takes a cautious step toward Chris, yet keeps her posture straight and unafraid. A traitor admirable but in this situation should be treaded lightly.

“Beta Samuel, my brother has trusted your judgment for years and trusts you enough to keep you by his side. Please, trust me when I say, bringing Aurora to him would be beneficial and the right thing to do. Please.” Her tone had pitched to one of a plea.

I grow guilty. Here she was trying her best to get me to Xavier and all I can do is stay there and accept the pain, yet do nothing about it

It’s not like I didn’t want to. I did in fact want to go to him but Sarah’s words held me still. He either has to reject me or accept me for the pain to stop.

What if he chooses to reject me?

Would the pain be more excruciating than this?

Can I even bear his rejection?

“Aurora,” Sarah whispers, kneeling beside me and gripping my arm. “Can you bear the pain a little longer?” She asked.

I only nod, an electrifying pain zapping through my limbs and nearly tearing out a scream from my throat.

I knew I couldn’t bear the pain. I knew I might be a crumbling mess soon Well, more than I was already.

But Goddess, I didn’t want anyone to witness how much pain this was.

I gritted my teeth, my skin feeling moistened with my own sweat. I could very well taste it as it dripped down my forehead, down m y brow, to my nose, to the bow of my lips until crawling into my mouth until I tasted the saltiness of it.

It was my only serving distraction from the pain I was currently feeling.

“Just hold on a little longer Aurora. I know you can do it.” Sarah whispers.

I pulled in some air. “Xavier,” I whispered.

How can a simple bond be entwined so deeply into our souls that we get pain from not being close enough?

“Beta

“It’s still a no Lily. From the moment she stepped foot into the territory everything has gone wrong. The girl is clearly served to be a trick for Alpha Xavier. She has no purpose with him. No future. If this bond is what I think it is, then I am certain it’s not the real thing

“Do you hear yourself right now Samuel!? You sound completely insane. How can this bond be fake? A fake bond will not have her feeling this kind of pain! She’s my brother’s mate. His to claim. She’s his!” Lily snapped, the mark of impatience weighing on her tongue as it lashed out at Beta Samuel who refused to give up.

“And she will be our Luna.” Sarah joins, squeezing my arm reassuringly.

But Beta Samuel was hell bent on defying their pleading and only roared in frustration. “Alpha Xavier is the only one who will give me instructions and tell me what to do. You may be his sister, but you’re not my alpha.”

” With or without your help, I will bring her to my brother. You can
