Aurora''s POV


    Darkness filled the entire room as Iy on the bed, waiting for Alpha Bane to return. After our stroll, he decided to go to his Beta andplete the discussion that he was having with him because it was so serious and needed to be talked about.


    At first, I tried to protest as I wanted him with me and not anyone else. Especially, after all, that Dn''s mother said to me, which I struggled to let go of, I needed someone by my side. I needed him by my side as he was the only one capable of making me calm down.


    But I did understand that I couldn''t have him at that point because he had other pressing matters at hand and they were, I dared to think, more important than keeping a lonely girlpany.


    I thought about my parents and my Pack atrge. I was having a good time there for the first time in a very long time. The people in the Pack were starting to treat me so well. I knew it was because I was the Princess but yeah, it still felt very good.


    My parents? They were so loving. My mom, most especially, always ensured that I wasn''t alone and didn''t feel as lonely as I currently felt in the room, with no one to talk to, just waiting for Alpha Bane toe to my room and save me.


    Going out too didn''t seem like the best thing to do. I could never tell when I was going to run into that hateful woman and with Alpha Bane not around, I didn''t know what the oue was going to be.


    As I was still lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door and I wondered if it was Alpha Bane. It seemed quite weird as he normally never knocked.


    "You cane in," I said, eagerly waiting to see who it was.


    "Oh. Anna..."


    It was my maid. I had told her toe to my room at that time so she could help me run some errands. She was the reason why I didn''t run mad earlier on as she came to keep mepany. She loved to do that. I was d she enjoyed mypany as I did hers.


    Earlier on, I decided to make some food for Alpha Bane and Ann was very helpful to me. She helped me cut the things I used to make the food and even offered to help me make the food but I insisted on doing it myself.


    "I need you to do something for me, Anna. Please help me check on Alpha Bane. He''s runningte already. Find out why he''s not here yet and get back to me, okay?"


    "Okay, Princess."


    She turned around and left the room while I tapped the bed with my fingers feeling so uneasy.


    In just about four minutes, she was back. She knocked on the door and I came in at my signal. "Alpha Bane will soon be here, ma''am. He''s already on his way to your room."


    Before I could thank her, Alpha Bane walked past her into the room and I squealed. I couldn''t contain the excitement within me and didn''t know what came over me. I sprang up from the bed and ran to him, embracing him a big hug.


    "You smell nice," I said to him, as the sweet scent of his perfume filled my nostrils. "Thank you."


    "I''ve missed you so much," I said to him, pulling him in for a kiss. I turned to see the maid bow her head in embarrassment and I almostughed.


    "You can go now," I said, and she turned around and did just that, leaving just me and Alpha Bane in the room.


    I held his right hand and dragged him to the bed and then I began to slowly remove his clothes. "You''ve had these the whole day, aren''t you ufortable? You need some air."


    I took off his shirt and admired his wonderful physique. "Tell me, how did your day go?"


    Alpha Bane''s POV


    "Well, it was stressful as always. You know, Pack matters and all. Does it ever end?"


    She smiled a bit and I loved it so much when she did that. She was so cute and innocent, yet, she was fierce when she needed to be. All these qualities made me love her even more.


    "I spoke with my dad for quite a long time today. We took time to talk about different matters and one of the things we talked about was Dn."


    "Dn," she asked, looking shocked, as she adjusted herself on the bed, probably to pay more attention to the news that I bore. "What happened to him?"


    "We got the news that he is hiding away in a nearby Rogue Pack. We don''t have the name of the Pack yet, but there are only a few rogue Packs around us so it shouldn''t be so hard to locate him and make him pay dearly for his crimes. We''ve sent some guards to act as spies in those Packs and soon, I''m sure they''ll bring us some good news. You just wait and see."


    She smiled, this time very broadly. It was clear to me that she was ted for me but I noticed something else. It wasn''t just about the piece of information that I just gave her. She seemed super hyped up to see me tonight and I loved it. I never knew it felt that good to be wanted; to be loved and craved. I wanted it to never end.


    "It seems like I''ve gotten very used to having you around," she winked at me. That''s why I always miss you so much when you''re not around. It makes me feel like a part of me is missing and you''re that part of me."


    I shrugged. Although my heart was warmed by her words in a very nice way, I


    couldn''t help but let my mind drift off to other things.


    I suddenly thought about buying her a ring and just getting married to her. As I


    stared at her, I imagined how beautiful our children were going to be and I couldn''t wait to carry our child. I didn''t know when I began to smile because of those thoughts.


    "Soon enough, all these will be a reality; our reality," I murmured within me before I saw a hand waving right in front of me very repeatedly.


    "What''s going on?" She asked, but I didn''t want to answer. I didn''t think it was important to do that.


    "Don''t worry about that," I said to her smiling.


    "I made you some food. I''m sure you''re famished after such a hectic day," she shrugged.


    I pulled her in for an embrace in appreciation for her gesture and then kissed her briefly.
