<b>Chapter </b>181
Alpha Calhoun’s gaze registered shock and guilt. “Asena? What are you doing here? Isn’t your graduation next week? Why did you not call me to pick you up from the airport?<b>” </b>He asked all at once.
He felt responsible for her and was remorseful for not having been there. Asena had a blend of excitement and disappointment on her face <b>as </b>sheined.
“You said you would never forget the date when I sent it to you.”
Cal raked his mind, recalling everything vividly. He wrapped his arm around her waist as she sat on hisp. “I read the date. It was the sixteenth.” “No, the sixth,” Asena corrected him, and he felt deeply remorseful.
“I’m so sorry. No wonder I couldn’t reach you this morning. You were already on the ne. I promise, I will make it up to you,” he apologized, then he pinched her cheek yfully.
“You look so pretty,” he said. Asena felt ttered, about to kiss him on the lips when he turned to the side, her lips pressing his cheek.
Aurora coughed dryly, unable to watch or hear anymore. After gaining their attention, she <b>rose </b>to her feet gracefully, her movements exuding elegance. “I should leave now. I will be in my office when you need me.”
“No, wait,” Alpha Cal suddenly said, pushing Asena from hisp. “Go freshen up in your room. I need to finish up here.”
Asena frowned at his remark. Why should she leave him alone with such a gorgeous woman?
<b>“</b>Can’t I wait?”
Alpha Calhoun felt awkward. Deep down, he knew he was in love with Aurora but felt they weren’t meant to be. If they were, they would have met earlier, and he had already made a promise to Asena.
The pack members and everyone were aware. How could he stand to embarrass her by calling it off like Aurora demanded? <b>It </b><b>was </b>all too much for him.
“Be a good girl and go to your room. I will be right there,” he said honestly. Asena red at Aurora. They both could not recognize each other. Asena had dyed her hair blonde and grown prettier with time.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
Aurora had grown even more stunning. Her <b>green </b>eyes and nerd sses made Asena more ufortable. It <b>was </b><b>as </b>if Aurora was hiding something because <b>if </b>a nerd could be this good looking, then what would happen if those sses <b>were </b>removed and her hair loosened?
“Who is she?<b>” </b>Asena asked. The only girl who sent fear into her spines years back was that girl she met at ir’s birthday party when she shed with her visit to the <b>pack </b>house with her parents at the time.

When she took interest in the party, her parents <b>had </b>pleaded with Luna Bree to let her stay, but she was <b>so </b>envious <i>of </i>ir that she poured a drink

<b>A </b>strange girl who had alsoe to the party gave her the <b>chase </b>of her life and <b>even </b>pped her. <b>Asena’s </b>only <b>constion </b>was the <b>fact </b>that she met <b>Alpha </b>Calhoun on <b>that </b>same <b>day</b>.
“My bad. Aurora<b>, </b>this is my fiancée Asena. <b>Asena</b><b>, </b>Aurora<b>, </b>my assistant,<b>” </b>Alpha Calhoun <b>said </b>awkwardly, his lips trembling at the <bst </b><b>part</b>.

on it. It was <b>even </b>better that way.
As soon as Asena left, Alpha <b>Cal </b>spoke <b>up</b>. “<b>I </b><b>hope </b><b>you </b>understand that Asena would be <b>the </b>Luna soon? She is now a medical <b>doctor </b>and would <b>be </b><b>of </b>great help to the <b>pack</b><b>.”</b>
<b>Aurora </b>did not hide her sentiments. “<b>I </b>understand quite well<b>, </b>and I know my ce<b>.”</b>
For the fact that Alpha <b>Cal </b>prevented Asena from kissing him <b>on </b>the lips, <b>she </b><b>had </b>hope. Her only <b>trigger </b>would be <b>if </b><b>she </b>saw a mark on either <b>of</b>

“Good, but I hope <b>that </b>this changes nothing between us,” <b>Alpha </b>Cal said. It sounded <b>to </b>Aurora as <b>if </b><b>they </b><b>were </b>having some kind of affair.
“I don’t know what you mean by that, but don’t keep a woman waiting.”
Her words made Alpha Cal ufortable, but hecked the words to <b>express </b>it. When Aurora finished <b>up </b>in the office, she went to see Rene<b>, </b>but on the <b>way</b>, she could hear the gossip.

<b>“</b><b>Asena </b>is <b>back</b>. It <b>means </b>the <b>pack </b>would <b>have </b><b>a </b>Luna soon. I was so hoping it would be Aurora.”
“She deserves it<b>. </b>She has to understand <b>that </b>she <b>can’t </b>have the Alpha because she chased out his call girls<b>.</b><b>”</b>
“But she’s super talented and even helped you out with your training. See how good Rene became too.”
“Whatever<b>, </b>Asena is more important than her and should be the one we focus on.”
<b>By </b>the time Aurora reached Rene’s house, she waspletely broken. “Rene, Asena is back. As soon as Alpha Cal marks her, I will be gone.” Her words broke Rene’s heart.
She has grown to love Aurora <b>as </b><b>a </b>big sister, and life without Aurora felt like falling bricks. Also, Rene was seventeen now. Aurora had celebrated all her birthdays with her and had promised to help train her wolf.
This could not be happening, and there were tears in Rene’s eyes as she equally broke down.
“No, Aurora<b>. </b>You <b>can’t </b><b>leave</b>. Where would you go?”
Aurora had not revealed her identity to Rene, so thetter was seriously worried about her. If possible, she would want to leave with Aurora, but at this point, Rene felt in her heart to be bold to have a word with Alpha Calhoun.
If his indecisiveness drove Aurora <b>away</b>, Rene knew that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
“Don’t worry about me, Rene. I want you to make good friends. My days are numbered,” Aurora said seriously.
She would wish to take Rene along, but knowing that her parents had a beef with hers, Aurora would have <i>to </i>speak to her parents about it first<b>.</b>
As soon <b>as </b>she opened the door to leave<b>, </b>she bumped into Alpha Cal. He looked upset. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”
