CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
AURORA'S P.O.V
They laughed out loud, taunting and mocking me. Anger and resentment surged in my chest. Do I have to take this just because I'm an omega? Hell no!!!
I clenched my first hard.
"I Said. Let. Go. Of. Me!!!"
I roared and felt something hot leaving my hands, the next thing I knew, the three ladies cried out in terror as they were flying a mile away from me. I stared in shock around me as dust filled the air.
"What the fell just happened? Where...where did that come from?"
I asked myself in a frenzy, I could still feel the hotness from my hand. Did I just throw the ladies away like a pack of cards.
"I helped you." A voice spoke.
"Huh?" My head whipped left and right but I saw nobody. "Who said that? Am I hearing things?"
"No, silly. Its me, your wolf."
My eyes flew open.
"My wolf?"
"Yeah."
"But you never spoke out like this before."
"Thats because I was limited with my link to you. But now that the link is getting stronger, I can come out like this."
I shook my head in amazement, I forced my legs to start moving lest those ladies come after me.
"This is so weird. I always heard you like a thought in my head not an actual voice. This feels really strange."
"You'll get used to it. I'm Willow."
"O..okay Willow. I guess you know my name but I'm..."
"I know, Aurora Steel...but not Steel for long."
I tilted my head.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll find out soon enough.." Her voice began to trail. "...the link is not yet stable so I'll retreat for now....bye."
"Hey wait...Willow?" She was silent.
"Well, talk to you later."
I walked like a zombie to the pack house, rousing to my senses only when Lucian walked towards me.
"So how was it?".
"Huh? How was what?" I blinked at him.
He frowned and titled his head to the side.
"The discussion with Clara?"
"Oh, yeah...yeah...um...well, she didn't change her mind. I guess I'm out of a job."
I answered shakily and tried walking inside but he followed me.
"Are you alright?"
I hiccupped as I stared at him, he wasn't suspecting me of something right? I didn't want to tell him about what I just did, he might see me as a monster. I still don't understand it myself so I shouldn't let others find out. Not him nor even Talia.
"O..of..of course I'm alright. I'm just tired...and shocked that I lost my job only because she found out I'm your mate and now a Luna, who shouldn't be working a bar." I rushed out, his eyebrpws were raised as he stared at me quietly.
"O...kay."
"Bye."
I smiled politely and ran off to my room, not bothering to stop when he called. I slammed the door shut as I slid slowly to the floor.
"Oh goddess, how do I do this. What is going on?"
My mind went back to all the crazy and strange things that had been happening to me.
"First, my fur became white, which is totally weird because no one has a white fur. It's never been seen nor heard of." And totally not allowed.
I began, my eyes closed as I counted.
"Then my suddenly enhanced speed and enhanced senses. Now this..." I looked down at my palms, "...what do I even call this huh? Magic? Sorcery? Argh! It doesn't make any sense."
'Knock, Knock!'
A knock sounded on the door, I raised my head, annoyed at the interruption.
"Who is it?"
No answer, just another knock. With a groan, I stood up and opened the door. Two middle aged women wearing maid uniforms were standing glaring at me.
"What are you doing here at this time?"
One of them snapped.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me?"
"You can't be living in this house and not earn your stay. Follow us to the kitchen, you have work to do."
The other one spoke with sass in her voice.
I shook my head trying to get my thoughts together.
"I'm sorry, are you talking to me?"
'Slap'
My face swiveled to the side sharply as the first woman slapped me hard.
"You are just a lowly omega. Now just because Sir Lucian has announced you as his mate doesn't mean your pisition suddenly changes, now follow us."
I lifted my face to face them, a hot glare in my eyes.
"No one told me that I was going to be a slave when I was literally forced to stay here. As long as Lucian didn't say that, I'm not going anywhere."
The two women gasped, shock evident in their eyes as I dared to refuse them.
"You lowly scum!"
The second woman lifted her hand to slap me again but the slap never came.
"Who..." She tried to shout, only to freeze.
"Who gave you the bloody right to slap and disrespect my mate?" Lucian growled, his hold on her hand tight, I could see her wincing in pain.
"Alpha Lucian? I'm...so...sorry. I...I was just trying to teach her."
"Teach her what? Did she come here for that! She is my mate, your future Luna and as such you should give her the same respect you give me, dammit."
He squeezed her hand even tighter, the two women were trembling so much it looked pitiful. I had never seen him like this, his eyes were jet black, different from his normal blue and his face looked so cold and heartless. Is it weird I liked this version of him best? Considering I didn't even have a good impression of him, this was a nice change.
"Lucian, its fine, you can let them go."
Without looking at me, he growled.
"No its not fine, they disrespected you, they disrespected me."
"Its okay, I'm fine as you can see..."
The women frantically nodded, looking gratefully at me. Hmmph! Serves them right but I can't be that heartless.
"I'm asking you to let it go, don't make it worse than it seems."
He looked like he was considering it when someone, a young girl of about fifteen years rushed towards us and announced.
"The alpha would like to have lunch with the both of you, most especially you, Miss Aurora."
