I stood close to her as I watched her press away from me. It reached for the keys and I unlocked the door.

“Go then…”

She furrowed her brows at me, “Downstairs?”

I nodded. “Yes… you want to go right?” I asked and she nodded. “Go.”

Aurora smiled at me and was about to leave when I called her, “Wait.”

She stopped and I stretched the car keys to her. “You forgot these… stay in the car, I will be back.”

She took it and walked off. I stood there watching her as I sighed.

I walked to the window and I shifted the curtain as I saw the. man of yesterday. The one I saw her with. He had been pacing out there since I woke up this morning.

I sniffed as I stayed there watching him. I had chosen to leave Aurora to sleep this morning, because I suspected that he was waiting for her.

I thought he would leave but up till now, he was still there, pacing… and now.

I closed my eyes and ran my hand through my hair as what I saw next made my heart ache.

Aurora had gone to meet this man. I opened my eyes as I looked at the man closely. I recognize him.

I gulped as I noticed he was the cleaner she was looking at yesterday when she slipped and fell. My heart throbbed and I held my chest and tilted my head to the side as I fought the urge to mistrust Aurora.

“NO… Aurora is a good woman… She is a good wife and a good mother.”

I closed the curtains as I took a deep breath and I pressed my hand on my temple. My head was ringing right now.

I grabbed my suit jacket and I headed down using the stairs. I felt the urge to use the elevator, but I might run into Aurora and that man… I would rather use the stairs.

I don’t want to meet them… I will wait for Aurora to talk to me herself about this… if she ever would.

I dropped down the stairs slowly, my face pale. My hands were clamped tightly against the rails.

I reached down the stairs and checked out of the hotel.

When I stepped outside the hotel, Aurora was nowhere to be seen where she had been standing with him. My heart clenched as panic set in, and I scanned the parking lot–my car was gone

too.

“Aurora? Where are you?” I breathed, my voice barely audible as I walked down the slope.

As I stepped into the road, a car zoomed by I jumped out of the way as the breeze blew my hair.

It stopped in front, I turned to it and saw it was Aurora. She had her head out the window with a wide smile on.

I nearly slammed my face with my palm. “Why the fuck would you be driving like that for?” I asked, shocked still plastered on my face.

I closed my eyes as I breathed out sharply, Aurora would think I was sighing because of how she drove, but I felt relieved because I thought she had left.

I walked up to the driver’s seat and pulled the door, I took her hand and pulled her out of the seat into a hug, I kissed her shoulder as I ran my hand through her hair.

I thought she… Thank goodness.

“Dane?” Aurora called and I pulled away from the hug and I pointed at the front passenger’s seal.

“I’ll drive, go sit there.” noveldrama

She smirked and walked around the car and went there, I sighed as I watched her walk away beautifully.

I feel so glad we are finally going home. I started the car and we drove off.

The ride back home was quiet, I retired to the room while Aurora went to the office right after she freshened up and changed.

I laid in bed, as I tried to forget all that happened in Trigon. I will resume my duties in the pack today.

I held a knock on the door, I turned to it and sat on the bed “Come in…”

The door opened and Raven walked in, he bowed slightly. “Good day, Alpha Dane.”

I nodded my head and he walked closer to me and handed me an invitation card.

I raised a brow as I took it from him, I looked at it and then back at him. “A ball tonight?”

He nodded his head. “Luna asked me to give it to you.”

I nodded my head and he left and shut the door. I fell back on

the bed, my hands running through my hair.

“For fuck’s sake, how many more things is Aurora hiding from

me.”

I thought to myself for a while. Is it because I have been sick and recovering, does she think I am no longer man enough to help her in decision making?

I got up and called Trajan, “Hey Trajan, get my office ready, I will be out there in a while.”

I ended the call and went ahead to get ready for the office.

I reached my office and found Trajan arranging the papers on my desk. I sat down behind my desk and opened my laptop. “I miss this place so much,” I said to my office with a smile on.

Trajan smiled and looked at me too. “Never knew you would start so soon… Did you tell Luna?”

I raised a brow to him. “Do I have to?”

It’s not like she tells me anything anyways.

“Well… it’s just that she’s got it… you didn’t really need to start so soon,” Trajan said with a shrug.

“Wow,” I said as I looked at him, “Why don’t you call her Alpha Aurora then?” I growled through gritted teeth.

“I would never take your place, Dane.”
