Bride

🌿 AURORA 🌿

" This dress looks really good on you , it fits you perfectly " Damon's mother said as she clapped excitedly.

" You will make a lovely bride Aurora " she said touching my face lovingly and I became emotional.

I miss my mom , I'm sure she would be so glad to see me Walk down the aisle what an honour.

My eyes stung and tears rolled outta my eyes .

" Hey Ro is e everything okay dear? " She asked lovingly and I felt bad about how worried she was .

" You don't like the dress ? We can try a new one dear" she said immediately .

" I like the dress ,I just wished my mom was here ...." I trailed as I cried .

" I'm sure she is happy about the woman you have come to be , you are brave , beautiful and a supportive Luna to Damon what more can we ask for ? She asked while Carressing my hair.

" Thanks Mom " I said and she Chuckled softly as she kissed my forehead.

" You guys are Making me Emotional ladies " Savannah said wiping her tears emotionally.

I shook my head at her craziness , we finished shopping and decided to call it a day .

Strolling into the pack house I noticed Some blood stains at the other end .

What's that ? I wondered curiously.

Did someone bleed on their way inside the house or what ? Walking towards the place I heard someone call my name .

"Luna " I turned immediately in shock .

" Zain " I muttered under my breath as I smiled softly.

My heart beating against my chest like it was going to rip out any moment from now .

I can't wrap my head around the fact that there was blood in the pack house and no one was talking about it .

" It might just be raw meat what if you are over thinking things ? My mind asked .

" Is everything okay Luna ? He asked walking closer to me.

" Yes I'm fine ." I said immediately and I noticed he raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

" Where is the Alpha ? I asked and he seemed to be more relaxed .

" At the garden with some of the members of the other tribes they bring news from their regions " He said and I rubbed my forehead.

" Is everything okay Zain ? Is it something to be worried about ? I asked curiously.

" I don't think so , maybe it has something to do with your upcoming wedding " He said and I gave a nod tiredly.

" Tell him I'm in my room , just in case he ask for my presence" I said and Zain gave a nod as I walked passed him .

There was blood just at the entrance of the pack house and the members of the other tribes came visiting.

Getting into our room ,I frowned and shook my head when I noticed Damon had his clothes everywhere in the room.

I picked his stuffs and walked towards the laundry basket where I dumped them .

Taking my time to clean around the room by myself ,I took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes.

" Hey my Queen " Damon said as he walked into our room and hugged me from behind.

" Love " I said turning towards him with a smile .

" How was your shopping with mother ? He asked and I could sense he was worried.

" We had a wonderful time together , she's a blessing to me you know " I said and he laughed.

" I'm glad you guys bonded perfectly ,do you know how much I prayed for you guys to love each other when you eventually meet ? He asked .

" Oh really ,well your prayers seems to be answered " I said and he gave a nod .

" I heard the members of the other tribes came visiting love ,is it something we should be worried about ? I asked and he sighed .

" It is nothing to be worried about My queen everything is under control" he said and pulled me into his arms then kissed my forehead.

After dinner we retired to bed together but I couldn't sleep.

I tossed and turned on the bed and eventually closed my eyes .

Run

Run

Run

I ran in the forest as I screamed in horror .

" Please please let me go please " I cried and froze when I saw him .

" Aurora " he called and I stared at him in horror .

I was still in my wedding gown which now had stains from the wet fields .

" I'm back ,I'm back for us Aurora " he said trying to hold my hand.

" Stayyy stay away from me ,I don't want anything to do with you anymore "

" Please Aurora " he pleaded .

" I hate you ! I hate you with every fiber in my body " I yelled Angrily and he held my arms .

" I love you Auro ,I want you back ..I can't leave without you ,I can't breath without you please come back. .." he trailed .

" No "

" No "

" Let me go ! " I yelled and woke up with a jerk panting and sweating heavily.

" What's wrong ? Is everything okay . Love " Damon asked cupping my face in his large hands and I burst into tears .

" Aurora is everything okay ? He asked and I snuggled close to his chest as tears rolled outta my eyes.

" You wanna talk about it ? He asked with concern .

" No " I muttered under my breath.

Lorenzo is my past and I don't want anything to do with him anymore.

I have a life with Damon now and that's all that matters.

🌾 LORENZO 🌾

" The attack on our border was serious we lost ten soldiers Alpha , if we do not take precautions it won't be long before words get out . What kind of pack will we be known as when we can't protect our members ? One of the Elders asked in the meeting.

" I am working on it ' I said with authority.

" That is what you have been saying for months, yet nothing lucrative have come out of it "

" Is it when we all die you will realize how serious things have become ? Another one asked Angrily .

" I have no escuses as to why things are no longer going in our favor.... " I trailed .

" You can start by getting a Luna for the pack " Silvers father said and others gave nods in agreement.

I already knew of his dirty plan to make his daughter Luna and this is one of his ploys to bring that into manifestation.

" A Luna is not the packs greatest problem right now . Our major problem is how to protect the pack from external attack " I said Angrily.

" That we all know , but the question is where do we start from ? He asked and The meeting went on for another hour before we called it a day .

As the pack members left Vincenzo stared at me with worry .

" You need to rest " he said handing me a bottle of water .

" Rest ? I'm loosing my mind Vincenzo " I said in frustration as I ran my fingers in my hair .

" Loosing your mind will not help you in anyway ,think of how to get out of this situation, because trust me silver and her father are not gonna let you off the hook " he said patting my back .

" I messed things up man ,I'm beginning to think I deserve all these things happening to me " I said and leaned on my arm chair .

" Did you ask Athena to check on the kids for me ? I asked drinking from the bottle of water.

"Rhea shut her out ,but Ares is fine " he Explained.

" Rhea ,that girl doesn't want to see me " I said with a bitter Chuckle.

" She had come to love Aurora man ,it's not easy to forgive you just like that ,you hurt everyone" he said and I gave a nod .

" But maybe you should try having a heart to heart talk with her and see how things go "he said and I gave a nod in agreement.

" I think I should try getting support from a larger pack , maybe like the moon stone pack before things get worse .

" I'll speak to Alpha Damon after his wedding ceremony" I said and he gave a nod .

" That is a good idea Lorenzo " He said and I couldn't be more happy for his support.

Ares and Rhea did not come down for dinner and my heart bled as I sat on for dinner all by myself.

Instead of walking to my room ,I stopped my at Ares room first .

" Hey champ ,can I come in ? I asked at the door and he smiled in my direction.

" Sure Dad " he muttered under his breath as he dropped his iPad and gestured for me to sit down.

I noticed the scrumbs of food on his plate and I didn't need someone to tell me he has eaten.

" You didn't come down for dinner,I was beginning to worry about you "I said and he scratched the back of his head .

" I was busy with my Assignment , is everything okay ? He asked and I held his hand .

" Ares " I called softly.

" Pa "

" Are you mad at me ? I asked and he gave a nod gently.

" You hurt us when you sent Auro away ,she used to make all of us happy . We thought she will be our mother one day " he said calmly.

" I messed things up between Aurora and i, I'm sorry son " I said and he stared at me .

" It's okay Dad ,I think you should apologise to Rhea ,I've forgiven you long ago " he said and I hugged him sadly .

" I love you son " I said as my voice broke at the edge .

" Love you more Dad , Everything is going to be alright" he said and I gave a nod .

After Ares I walked to Rhea's room with relief.

I have my son back now Rhea is going to be a hard Nut to crack .

I knocked on her door and tucked both hands in the pocket of my formal pants .

I heard her footsteps before she opened the door and frowned when her eyes met mine .

" Ri we need to talk "

I said softly.

"I don'tt want to talk to you Dad I'm really tired " she said sadly .

" Rhea please , I'm really sorry I just need you to forgive me dear before I loose my mind . " I said my voice breaking in the edge and she stared at me sadly.

" You ...hurt me Dad ,do you know how hard it was for Ares and I when mom left us ? That void could not be filled until we met Aurora "

" She loved us genuinely and never made us feel for once that you were more important , but then you hurt her and sent her away. I love you Dad but it's so hard to look at you without resentment" She said and I bit my lower lip to control my Emotions.

" I'm so sorry Ri ,I promise to do my best to create happiness in the family Again. "

" Just give me a chance" i said and she cried as she moved into my arms we both cried .

" I love you Dad "

" I love you more Ri" i said as tears rolled outta my eyes.
