Chapter 31


    (Aurora’s pov)


    I could sense the shift in Alpha Xavier’s mood after he talked to the older doctor. The way he held me


    firmly as he guided me upstairs. I had thought he would’ve brought me back to the same room he had


    previously put me in before. But he doesn’t and tugs me into his room.


    It feels weird to be allowed in his room. Last night I understood he wanted to make sure ! didn’t escape


    but from my punishmentst night, surely he figured I’d try my best to not upset him again.


    “You can have a shower while I go collect your clothes. Don’t do something I wouldn’t do Aurora. Unless


    you want your punishment to be more severe than the onest night.” He warned.


    I nodded, gulping. I had no intentions of going through that painful torture again.


    He turns around but I stop him.


    “Alpha,” I murmur softly. His back stiffens and he doesn’t turn around. “Yes?” I swallowed, looking down


    nervously.” There was a small backpack I had in my possession the morning I was brought forth by the


    wolves who found me. I know it’s been two nights since then but the bag means a lot to me “I will find it


    and bring it to you,” He says curtly and leaves the room without another word o ra nce back at me.


    Even though his answer was undoubtedly cold, I couldn’t help but feel relieved. Cas gave me that


    backpack and I will hold it close to me until we reunite again. It may sound and be impossible now. But I


    would do anything to see her face again.

    I just hope the moon goddess the wolves howl to, will find it in her to keep Cas safe. I really hope she


    was.


    I blinked away the moisture as I turn around to strut towards the bathroom. I missed her so much.


    :Xavier’s pov:


    I piled the clothes on the bed and turned my head to face the bathroom. I could hear the shower running


    She was in there. Naked. Wet.


    I fisted my hands to my side, my ws piercing my palm and allowing my blood to drip on the floors.


    I could go in there now and find out if the witch’s mark was on her cunt. But something I’ve never felt


    before licked up my spine and forced my legs to stay rooted where they were.


    Fear,


    I feared of what would happen if she was indeed created by a witch to torment me. If she wasn’t truly my


    mate but someone created for one purpose, to ruin me.


    1 clenched my eyes tightly and turned around to leave the room. I needed space to clear my head. Two


    nights she’s been here and two nights she has not left my mind. It’s hard to do my Alpha duties with her


    on my mind twenty four seven. It’s even worse now that the taste of her had now be an addiction in


    such a short amount of time. My original n was to keep using her to calm Reckon down enough to


    control him. But I found myself scribbling messily on my original ns and feeling lost on what to do.


    Especially afterst night. I had never allowed a woman to sleep beside me before, neither have I ever


    slept peacefully before. Not sincest night. Not since she arrived and overstepped the wall I cemented


    between us. 1


    “Xavier!” Eli yelled a few feet ahead of me. He stood at the door to my study and looked to be rather


    impatient as he waved me over.


    I continued towards him, intending to actually go inside my study to work on some paperwork to upy


    my mind and keep it off of her for a little while. “What is it?” I gruinble opening the door and walking


    inside. The room still smelled of the liquor fromst night. Eli closed the door behind him.” Heard you


    nearly killed Adrian. Samuel’s still in shock that you did it all because of the girl, Aurora? Is it true?” I


    sighed while fixing myself on the leather chair. In all honesty, I didn’t give a flying fuck that I nearly killed


    Adrian. She had iting for hurting my mate. ‘So you admit it. She’s ours.’ Reckon snorted.


    I ignored him and kicked up my legs on the desk, crossing the right over the left.” And if I say it’s true?


    What happens then? Will my people hate me for defending a harmless girl?” I crossed my arms over my


    chest and waited for his answer. Eli’s brows furrowed in confusion. “So you’re now certain the girl Aurora


    is harmless?” His words or tone weren’t using just mild intrigue.


    I looked at him for a few seconds and sigh. “No. I still am not even close to finding out what she is.” I


    admitted. “And yet you had her in your roomst night…..” Eli drawled, looking at me fixedly without


    batting an eye. I stiffen, my legs falling to the floor as I stand up to my full height. I growled, my Alpha


    aura whipping around me strongly. Eli backs away and bares his neck.” I’m sorry for sounding using


    Alpha. I didn’t intend to. We’re all finding it strange that you’re letting her stay in your room seeing as we


    know you love your personal space.”


    “I’m letting her stay there to keep a close eye on her. She tried to escapest night and that was the only


    way I could make sure she wouldn’t again.” I didn’t owe him an exnation but I figured I’d have to give


    him something if I wanted to keep him off my back.


    Sooner orter they would’ve questioned why I let her sleep in my room.


    Keeping my pack in the dark was something I have never done before. I was their leader and I had to


    earn their trust. One little white lie won’t hurt, but if the secret of her being my mate is sound out before I


    can uncover what kind of creature she is or why she’s fated to me. Then I’d not be a leader at all. But


    someone that had lost the honor. But I couldn’t bring myself to tell them. Especially seeing as I don’t


    know everything myself. I’ll take this little by little, day by day until I’m ready to let them know if I choose


    to. Or if I’ll let her go before they find out. Because God only knew how much of a burden she’ll bare if


    she remains mated to me for life. I would be doing her a favor if I let her go. I really would. But the


    sickening weight in my gut told me I really didn’t want to. Eli looks at me closely after I had calmed down


    and sat back down on the chair. After a moment of silence. He speaks up.” She’s not your mate is she?”


    He whispered so lowly that even my advanced hearing almost failed to pick up on. I stiffen.” No. Why


    would you think that?”


    Eli looks unsure.” Because I’ve never seen you this way Xavier. You’ve…. changed since she’se


    here


    “Enough!” I snarled.” The girl is nothing to me!” The words tasted bitter.


    Eli backed away after sensing my rage. “If you don’t have anything better to do than bombard me with


    useless questions. I have something that will keep you upied. There’s a backpack the girl Aurora is


    missing. She mentioned that she had it on her when you found her. Retrieve the bag and bring it to her.”


    Eli nodded quickly.” Yes alpha.” Lifting his gaze he looked at me with a questioning stare. “If she is, you’ll


    tell us right?” “Get out of my sight Eli!” I snarled. He scurries out of the office leaving me staring at the


    door nkly while my mind swims with thoughts of Aurora. Could she really be my fate or was she just


    some summoned doll?
