I stretch my body when I wake up and go to the bathroom for my morning routine.
I sit in the hot water as memories of what happened last night come crashing down on me.
Nikolas is a werewolf, and so are many in the town. Did he change them? I lazily get out of the room but I didn't expect to find her in front of my door.
" Aurora," I breathe. She waves at me lazily and pushes herself off the wall.
" I see my brother let you in on our secret.. again," she says looking right at me, her gaze is intimating, and I find myself facing the floor,
" Breakfast is ready," she says with a half-smile, the first I've seen. I nod and walk behind her, she walks down the stairs with poise and grace like some sort of princess or queen.
Breakfast is all but normal, all the Wulfrics are here having a serious conversation.
“ so what are we going to do about Aviana?” asks Kat to no one in particular, Nikolas sighs drinking his coffee
“ I can compel her to forget,” chimes Aurora a little too happy but Nik shakes her head,
“ you’ve done that a lot lately, it’s not good and besides it’s not the last she’ll see us change,” adds Jeremy, I look at them stunned, they made me forget before. They keep talking and arguing as if I am not here, and what does it mean to compel?
“ Can you please stop talking as if I am not here and what do you mean she has done it before?” they keep quiet as if finally noticing me there, before anyone can say anything I stand up going back to my room and packing a small bag. I have to leave tonight when everyone is distracted. I get a book to keep myself busy but I can't focus so I put it away and start to pace, where can go where Nikolas can't find me? They are pretty much the richest people in the city and Aurora's boyfriend runs the whole city!
Aurora is like a puzzle to me, I'm also so intrigued by her, she's both intimidating and alluring. Is she also like Nikolas? Is it a curse or an experiment
A knock brings me back from my thoughts, Dorothy walks in with a tray of food. I smile gratefully at the young lady, I was really hungry but just couldn't eat with them.

"No coffee?" I ask,
" It's not good in your condition," I nod and continue to slowly eat my grapes. I have developed a taste for them.
" Nikolas?"
" He has gone out, Miss," she answers.
" And the others?" I ask hopeful I can make my move tonight, she nods and pushes the tray away noticing I've finished eating.
" Explain to me how Nikolas was able to change into an animal," she growls a bit but bites her bottom lip, was she offended?
I listen quietly unable to believe what I'm hearing about the werewolf community. They live in packs just within the city, more than 90 percent of the city has wolves and vampires, I shake my head unable to believe the information, there are more than fifty wolf packs in this city, and are led by alphas, the strongest wolf in a pack and this is called the Silver blue moon pack, and this is the second largest in the city
" So Nikolas is the Alpha of this pack?"
" Yes," she continues explaining the hierarchy in the werewolf world, how they are all led by a king, who is no other than Aurora's boyfriend. No wonder she's like that, there is just how she carries herself, she's just not partner to the strongest wolf in the city but she's Royalty herself, a hybrid princess as she is both vampire and wolf, her mother was a queen of vampire and she is the first white wolf, making her royalty by birth to the werewolves
I stand up taking in the information, pacing around the huge room.
" What's a mate?" She smiles brightly at the questions, closing her eyes.
" Your other half, the one meant for you! The one person who completes you," she says, holding the pillow close to her chest.
" Their pain is yours, you feel what they do, it's a rare and powerful bond." She explains, Dorothy tells it with so much desire but something clicks.
" Was Loren your Alpha's mate," she nods sadly.
" They loved each other so much," My heart stings a bit as she tells stories about a time when Nik was happier, now he's just a shadow of the man he once was. Is it why he sleeps around because he misses his Mate? I cringe a little, holding my tummy.
I lie down, getting my rest and when I wake up it's dark outside. I grab my bag and carefully go outside.

I sigh as I reach the tarmac, going as fast as I can before they realize I'm gone. I decide to use the woods so they don't find me, it's cold and dark, and my legs are exhausted but I keep pushing. I hear a twig and begin to run but after a few minutes am heaving and totally out of breath, I am not used to running.
" Well, well, well," I stop in my track and back away, tripping on a tree root and falling on my butt as strange men appear in front of me.
