1128: AURORA (7)

AURORA (7)

Draghar couldn't understand how he could choose a path through the territory of the supreme Alpha's pack, even though the beta had warned him not to take that route, but he did not heed the prohibition and followed his beast instincts that urged him to go there.1

Draghar of course knew that this area was very heavily guarded, especially after the many rogues that had increased in number after the great war that occurred many years ago and now there was a many shifters that was so hard- pressed to form a large pack like Torak's.

But, still, despite all the controversies that occurred, Draghar still chose to cross the border and put himself and the other three lycans at risk of being caught.

And sure enough, it didn't take long for the lycan warriors that the Supreme Alpha had to apprehend the three lycans who had crossed with Draghar, while he himself managed to knock out several lycan warriors, including the next Alpha before he came face to face with Torak Donovan, the supreme Alpha. The legendary Donovan.

Not only because of the story of their infamous curse among supernatural beings, but also the story of how the Moon Goddess, Selene, lifted the curse and also the great war with the demons.

Yes, who didn't know about the Donovans?

But, that wasn't what made Draghar flabbergasted. He had never been surprised or intimidated by such stories and the figure of Torak Donovan, for he had never thought of dealing with him.

At least until tonight, when he finally found out that the daughter of the supreme Alpha was his mate.

Her name is Aurora...

Oh, Selene…

She was so beautiful and enchanting, so pure and radiant, that Draghar felt that even touching her could taint this beautiful girl who was destined to be his mate…

She was so tiny and petite, but something inside of her made Draghar even want to kneel before her and swear to do anything just to have her by his side.

Draghar didn't mind giving up anything for Aurora just so she wouldn't turn him down, but he doubted there was anything he could give. There was nothing precious about him that he could offer to Aurora.

When their eyes met and Draghar realized that he had met his mate, his heart seemed to stop beating, especially when suddenly Aurora fell unconscious, it felt like the time stop along with his breath.

Draghar didn't even notice the moment he switched to his human form and shocked some of the people around them at the time when they saw his scar.

Draghar ignored them, as it wasn't the first time he had received such stares from the people around him.

And when Torak carried Aurora in his arms, he didn't even notice as he growled dangerously, thinking that another lycan wanted to take his mate away from him.

It was only when the Alpha said to stay away from his daughter, that Draghar realized that Torak was not a threat...

And now, Aurora was standing before him. She kept staring at him with her gentle eyes and beautiful face, while the cold night wind played with her long, black and curly hair.

She stood very close to Draghar, caressed his wound with her long fingers, while saying that he was perfect.

"You're perfect Draghar," Aurora said softly, there was acceptance in the way she looked at Draghar, love in the way she touched him and also the sincerity in the words she spoke.

How could a creature as beautiful as this be his mate? Aurora offered Draghar a life, while he has nothing of value to give...

Draghar's life wasn't good, things never went smoothly for him even from the first moment he could remember.

"I want to go with you," Aurora said without hesitation. Her voice was like a melody to Draghar's ears which made the lycan feel that he was in the most beautiful imagination he could possibly dream of.

However, the most important question was; did he want Aurora to be in his pack?

It was not a life fit for Aurora to live…

"Think about it," Draghar said in a low, serious tone. "I'll wait for the answer tomorrow."

Aurora didn't understand what was wrong with this, and why Draghar seemed reluctant to take her, but when her mate put his hoodie back on and covered the wound on his face, Aurora knew this was the end of their conversation.

At least, Draghar didn't really end the night by leaving her alone, he took her hand and slowed his pace for Aurora as they returned to the pack house.

Their return journey was quiet, because neither of them said anything, only the sound of the nocturnal accompanying their steps.

However, when they were just about to enter the pack house, Aurora found her brother, Kayden, who was so angry when he saw her with Draghar.

"Aurora! Where have you been with this stranger!?" Kayden exclaimed, his blue eyes turning dark as he approached his sister, especially when he saw Draghar holding Aurora's hand.

"Stop it," Aurora said sharply, she stood before Draghar, folding her arms across her chest and lifting her chin defiantly.

Immediately Kayden stopped and furrowed his brows deeply, looking displeased with Aurora's attitude.

"He's not a stranger, he's my mate," Aurora said proudly.

And that didn't pass from Draghar's ears, there was an inexplicable satisfaction that made his chest swell with joy when his mate defended him like this in front of her brother.

Not many people have ever defended him before and this certainly has a different meaning for him.

"Seriously, that's impossible," Kayden muttered in disbelief. "He's dangerous, he's a rogue."

"There must be a misunderstanding here, he's not a rogue." Aurora was sure of this, she could certainly tell the difference between a rogue and an Alpha, because after all a shifter could tell the difference rank with just one look.

Kayden could do that too, if he was not blinded by anger.

"He hurt me!" Kayden exclaimed in annoyance, showing his bandaged shoulder.

Draghar gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, waiting for Aurora's reaction. After all, Kayden was her brother...
