Chapter 1127: Aurora (6)
"Well, things will be fine if he agrees to be under Torak's leadership again, but things will get a little tense if he decides to go against it," Calleb said.
They both knew, it wasn't a matter of which pack Torak controlled, but that it was a matter of where his daughter would be.
Everyone knew how much Torak pampered Aurora and how her little girl could easily have the Alpha wrapped around her fingers.
The instinct to protect as an Alpha was always triggered whenever the little girl looked at him with her round and expectant eyes.
And now, all of a sudden, a Lycan came in a not- so- good way and intended to take Aurora away. Of course, this fact was very difficult to accept.
"Well, I hope the two of them won't destroy this house by fighting with each other," Raine said, grimcing slightly at the thought of that possibility, because from what she saw, it seemed that the mate of her daughter had the same tough temper as Torak and that would be troublesome later.
Calleb laughed grimly when he heard that. He could even imagine how the two Lycan Alphas insisted on one another.
Kayden appeared at the kitchen door, his expression grim as a bandage could be seen on his shoulder.
Maybe it's because Raine wasn't a shifter, but it couldn't be said to be a human either, even though her ability as a guardian angel has been lost, but this seemed to have an effect on her children, where Kayden and Aurora didn't have the ability to heal very quickly.
Therefore, the black lycan's bite wound still left on his shoulder even after several hours had passed. Wounds like that usually took half a day or a day for Kayden to completely heal and although her son never said this, Raine could see that he was a little frustrated by that fact.
"Where's Aurora?" Kayden asked. "I didn't find her in her room."
"Oh, looks like she's outside," Raine replied as she made tea for herself and Torak.
"Outside?" Kayden frowned. He looked worried. "There is a dangerous lycan that father managed to catch, what is Aurora doing outside?"
"Dangerous lycans?" Calleb teased, he knew who Kayden was referring to, and he was also sure that Kayden still didn't know that the 'dangerous Lycan' was his beloved sister's mate.
"Yeah, didn't you hear?" Kayden furrowed his brows at Calleb. "He is a rogue who violated our borders."
"Oh, you mean Draghar?" Calleb said innocently, ignoring the warning stares from Raine, who seemed to be telling him to stop teasing her son. "He's with Aurora now."
"What?!" Kayden jumped. His surprise was evident in his eyes and facial expression. "No way, what is he doing with Aurora?!"
"Oh, didn't you hear? He's your sister's mate," Calleb replied calmly, as if it was common knowledge that Kayden should have realized by now.
"No way," Kayden muttered. He then looked at Raine asking her for an explanation. "Mom, that's not true, is it?"
"That's right, honey," Raine replied.
Kayden was in the infirmary when Torak managed to subdue the black lyan, so he didn't hear any news about this.
"No, I'll check it myself." After he finished saying that, Kayden immediately ran away in a panic, leaving Calleb and his mother behind.
"You!" said Raine sharply while hitting the back of Calleb's head lightly. "You're causing trouble."
Calleb laughed when he heard Raine's grumble. "Leave it alone, I want to see how that lycan named Draghar can overcome the jealousy of an older brother and his mate's father."
"You're going to get Aurora in trouble," Raine protested. "What if the lycan rejected her?"
"No way, how could he reject my sweet Aurora," said Calleb proudly.
================
Aurora had steeled her heart when she had to actually see the face of her mate. She understood that there was something Draghar was trying to hide from her and this was something that made her mate uncomfortable and thought that she would reject her right away when Aurora saw it.
But, Aurora would never do that. Why should she reject Draghar just because of something like that?
Slowly and carefully, Aurora removed the hoodie covering Draghar's face and let it fall on the man's shoulder.
The gloomy night sky didn't help Aurora to see clearly, or provide sufficient light, but at least she could see two deep slashes running through Draghar's left eye.
And when the man opened his eyes, two colors of his eyes were different.
His right eye was brown, while his left eye, where the two slashes were, was slightly lighter, light brown and looked empty.
Even though Aurora had prepared herself for the worst, she still couldn't lie to her own emotions.
Aurora gasped and her forehead furrowed, and Draghar took this as a reaction of rejection from his mate, therefore, he stepped back away from the girl.
"I see," he said in a deep voice. He tried to hide his disappointment.
But, that's not what Aurora meant...
"Wait, you misunderstood me." Aurora held Draghar's arm, preventing himself from moving away from her. "Where did you get that wound from? Who did it?"
Dragar was silent. He let Aurora held his arm, because he liked the sensation when they had skin to skin contact. He did not expect that he could find a mate as perfect as the girl in front of him. Is this real?
People around him always said that when he met his mate, he would be rejected as soon as the unlucky girl saw his face. They said he was nothing at all.
Draghar rejected those words at first, but if you heard it over and over, of course over time you would believe it as something real.
"Are you going to reject me?" Draghar asked. Now he looked Aurora right in the eye. Those beautiful blue eyes stared back at him with the same intensity. He looked confused and silence enveloped them until Aurora's small lips moved to answer.
"Why should I reject my soulmate?" Aurora asked Draghar. She then reached out and cupped Draghar's face and could see him flinching slightly at this touch. "You're perfect, Draghar."
