Aurora''s POV


    Two Days Later


    I picked up my big, travelling bag from the wardrobe and dropped it on the bed. I loved the bag a lot because of its blue colour. Each time I saw it, I always took a break from whatever I wanted to use it for, just to admire it a bit. Blue was my favourite colour.


    Opening it up, I took out all the clothes inside, one by one and tossed them on the bed. They were not properly arranged and I had to make sure they were.


    The ones in the wardrobe too also had to be put inside the bag. So I took them off their hangers, one by one and tossed them on the bed too.


    Then I finally began to fold the clothes, one after the other, as I carefully put them inside the bag as they should be.


    "These need to go," I said, on seeing some of the clothes that looked a bit worn out. I was going to get new ones at the Blue Moon Pack anyway. Alpha Bane had already promised me that.


    Indeed, he even told me to only take two or three clothes because he was going to change my entire wardrobe. He promised to get so many clothes for me until I was tired of them. I believed him. Yet, I had to take some of my clothes with me.


    Those clothes were more than just dresses to me. They carried with them so many beautiful memories and some ugly ones too which made the good ones even more beautiful.


    As I tossed the worn-out clothes to a corner in the bed, I couldn''t help but take my mind back to all that had been happening to me for a very long time.


    Although it has been a while, I still struggled to believe that my fate had indeed changed; that I wasn''t that lowly maid anymore but a Princess.


    Back then, as a maid, I''d have been so grateful to have some of those clothes that I thought to be worn out. Most of them were better than the clothes that I used to wear back then as a maid. Now, I had better stuff and could have even more just by simply asking.


    Not only was I a Princess, but I was also the mate of Alpha Bane, the Alpha of Alphas, desired by all the maidens in every Pack. He was mine and I was his. He had even marked me to show his desire to be with me for life, just like I wanted to. It was such a beautiful experience and I loved every bit of it.


    To top that, he cherished me so much. I could see it in his eyes every time he looked at me. I could hear it in his voice each time he spoke to me. He was the perfect man and I was more than lucky to have him.


    I dropped the dress that I held in my hands as I began to get very emotional. I felt the urge to cry and I tried to hold it back a little. The nice thoughts were slowly being reced by those that reminded me of who and what I used to be.


    I remembered all the humiliation that I faced at the hands of Mrs Scott whom I thought was my mother. The way that she always hit me in front of everyone, how she loved to embarrass me, and how she never wanted anything good for me.


    Just as a tear fell from my eye, u heard a knock on the door and immense began to adjust. I quickly wiped the tear away as I didn''t want anyone to know that I was crying. Besides, I felt it was a maid who probably had something to say to me and I didn''t want her to see me crying.


    "Come in," I said, as I heard the knock again.


    I coughed twice and cleared my throat as I waited to see who was at the door. The door opened very gently and it was my mom. I straightened up as soon as I saw that it was her and put a smile on my face.


    "Wee, mom," I greeted her as she walked into the room.


    From the way that she moved, I knew what wasing. She didn''t say a word to me. She just kept her gaze on me as she walked and I took that as a cue to get to my feet. I did just that.


    As she got to me, she spread her arms and wrapped me in a big hug and I did the same. She held onto me for over a minute and ced my head on her shoulder. I enjoyed the moment.


    Her love for me was so pure that I could feel and touch it. "Good day, my child," she said to me as we finally broke the hug.


    We sat on the bed and she took a look at my pile of clothes. "I see you''re getting ready, my child," she said.


    I nodded. "I have to start early to pack them so that I won''t be under any pressure. Have you had something to eat yet?"


    "Yeah. Sure. I did that just beforeing here. The maids haven''t brought your meal?"


    "Not yet, mom. But I''m certain they''ll do that pretty soon."


    "They''d better," she said, rolling her eyes. "They shouldn''t keep you waiting for any reason."


    "I''m alright, mom." Iughed. She was always fond of trying to make sure everything was done right for me. She cared for me like I was a little child. It felt unnecessary sometimes but it was cool too.


    She picked up one of my dresses and began to fold it and on seeing her do that, I did the same. I was d she hade to help me pack up. The clothes were so much too. It was very thoughtful of her.


    "Thanks, mom," I thanked her as we continued to pack. She just smiled and nodded.


    "As you''re going to the Blue Moon Pack, I''d love you to understand that you should be very careful. Don''t trust anyone there except Alpha Bane. Take your time to observe the environment first before anything else. Not everyone would be happy with your new status as their Luna Queen. You must understand this, child."


    She was right. As much as I''d been there for a while, I had to tread with caution. Knowing who Sophia was, I wonder if there was anyone like her in the Pack and if there was, then there was a need to be extremely careful.


    We spoke for a long time and as usual, enjoyed herpany so much. But every talk had an end. Ours too. We stood and shared a warm hug as soon as we got done and I couldn''t help the tears that flowed down my eyes.


    "I love you, Aurora. I''m going to miss you."


    Her voice gave her away. She too was crying and it made me hug her even tighter.


    "Don''t worry, mom. We''ll always visit from time to time. I won''t stay away from you for long. I''ll always find my way back home to see you. I promise."
