Aurora's POV
"You, lazy fool. Why aren't you done?" She scoffed, taking a position beside the door.
"I am." I said while pointing at the bucket of clean clothes.
"What! You have no right to talk back to me!" She yells, emptying the bucket on me.
"And you have no right to do such a thing to me!" My voice bore anger as I flung the wet cloth that wrapped my neck.
A thunderous slap clung to my face before I could finish my statement.
"Guards!" She yelled.
"Yes, Luna." A guard from behind came running.
"Make her kneel before the alpha this instant."
The guard grabbed my left arm and pulled me to Alfred's chambers.
"Long live Alpha." He bowed and pushed me to the ground.
"What did she do this time….
"Alpha! Alpha!" Iza cried as she ran towards him.
"What's the problem, my Luna?" He held her hands.
"She!" Iza pointed her fingers towards me. Her eyes bore hatred.
"Have you suddenly gone dumb? Will you speak up this instant?" He said in an authoritative voice.
"If she refuses to speak up, I think we should do away with her." Iza quickly interrupted.
I held back my tears as I felt my heart breaking for a hundred and one times. Iza and I were the most adorable cousins. She lost her parents at a young age, and since then we've been sisters and done everything together.
Little did I know she had a relationship with Alfred, my first love. I loved them both so much that I couldn't think of such.
Iza found a habit of wanting everything I owned, but my parents and I didn't see it as something wrong since we were wealthy until Alfred came into my life.
Alfred and I were so bonded that we didn't care if we weren't each other's mate. We loved ourselves and promised each other not to attend the mating ceremony on our eighteenth birthday and get married after that.
"Iza, that wouldn't be necessary; a little punishment will do." Alfred opposed and drafted me out of my thoughts.
"A little punishment? This brat here doesn't deserve to be alive!" Iza yelled.
I raised my eyes to meet hers. She didn't feel any guilt, and I had to believe all of it was planned. My parents' death! Overthrowing me had to be someone's doing.
"Guard!" Alfred called.
"Yes, Alpha."
"Send a message across to every member of the park this instant. We will be having a very special occasion."
"Right away, Alpha."
"Thank you, my Alpha." Iza smiled as she took her leave and left me alone with Alfred.
"How does it feel?" He mocked, leaving a smirk on his face.
"Speak up!" He demanded, a groan appearing on his face.
"I've got nothing to say to you." I blurted out.
"Oh! Really?" He scoffed while walking towards me.
"You've got nothing to say? Or a lot to say? He mocked, rolling down his fingers beside my chest.
"Don't you dare touch me!" I spat, throwing his hands from my face.
He grabbed my neck and pushed me against the wall.
"You've been mine and always will be!" He pressed his lips against mine.
I wanted to push him, but my heart was opposed. His scents filled my nose and reminded me of our good old days.
He darted his eyes to mine. His gold almond eyes left a shiver on me. I was once in love with those eyes, if not still in love.
"You didn't even change a bit." He spoke in a deep, calm tone.
"Why did you do it?" Tears rolled down my cheeks. Despite everything, we went together?"
I wanted all my questions answered; my heart asked questions my head couldn't answer, and I've lived with that for two years now.
"You should know the answer to that. I mean, you had the best teachers." He pressed his lips on mine again and grabbed my neck and slid his hands beneath my gown.
I stood still, pouring my eyes out. I couldn't move an inch. I still loved him; I still wanted him. He made his way into my thighs with his left hand and grabbed my waist closer to him with his right hand.
He deepened the kiss and lifted me to the king-sized chair he previously sat on. Stripping off my gown, he placed his mouth on my nipples and raised his eyes to meet mine.
I let out a voiceless moan, and he smiled on seeing that. His fingers traveled from my chest to my vagina. He was the only man that I had intercourse with, and he knew all my sensitive parts.
He played with it for a while before kneeling in between my legs and keeping them apart. I closed my eyes as I fought with my emotions and mind.
I couldn't just bring myself to lie with him after everything he did to me.
"Get off me!" I yelled, kicking him off with my feet.
He fumed in rage and anger as he buckled his pants. "You'll pay dearly for this." He banged the door against me.
I wore my dress immediately and tried to tie the ripped-off part. I was lucky it wasn't torn so badly.
The door swung open immediately as he stepped out.
"You! Come here. The guard yelled as he walked closer to me. Today might be your last day in this park, Alpha!" He mocked as he grabbed my hands towards the door.
As the evening grew old, I heard voices of people chattering. At that moment I didn't care about what was befalling me. I just hugged myself and waited for the rude guard to display himself as always.
"Come out." He ordered as expected.
We walked to the park hall. A large bonfire crackled and danced, casting eerie shadows across the assembled pack. Some enjoyed the evening, while some were eager to know why the sudden meeting.
