Chapter 1131: Aurora (10)
Behind every scar, is an untold story of survival.
-Unknown-
**************
"Where did you get that scar from?" asked Torak when he clearly saw the wound that crossed the left side of Draghar's face. This lycan was like someone who has gone through a lot of bad things in his life.
And from just one look, Torak knew that his life couldn't be said to be going well. There was a hard side to Draghar that made him stronger and more ferocious than any other alpha Torak had ever met.
The side inside Draghar that was always on alert.
And those wounds...
Torak dared to guarantee that Draghar was much stronger than Kayden and had also been through more crucial fights than his son.
But, under what circumstances would Draghar have to fight? And how did he position himself in the pack…
Torak understood very well, if your position as an Alpha certainly did not guarantee you were accepted into your pack. You may be the strongest person out there, but you may also be the most hated person in the pack.
In this case, the people in the pack were afraid of their Alpha and were forced to submit to it.
And Torak didn't want Aurora to be Luna in a pack like that.
He couldn't possibly just let his daughter go without knowing the real conditions there...
"You don't want to tell me?" asked Torak after Draghar had said nothing for a long time. "Then let me change the question; how did you get your position as Alpha? You weren't the first son of the previous Alpha."
After learning, who Draghar was and even more so because he was his daughter's mate, Torak had asked for all the information he could get about the Blood Moon pack in no time.
And he found that the previous Alpha had three sons and a daughter, while Draghar was his second son.
And also there were no reports that the Alpha's first son has died, then there was only one way how Draghar could occupy his position as an Alpha.
"Did you gain your position through fighting?" asked Torak. This was the same thing that Jedrek did when he usurped his position as king from their father who had been completely ruled by the demons.
And it's not a position- taking that could attract the sympathy of other shifters in a pack.
There were many things Torak wanted to know about the lycan in front of him before he took his daughter away to a faraway place.
"Yes," Draghar replied curtly. This time he gave the answer to Torak's question.
"Who did you fight?" Torak leaned forward and took Draghar more seriously.
This is bad…
"The previous Alpha," replied Draghar again in a deep, hoarse voice. He looked tense and uncomfortable with Torak's questions. While the beast inside him started to prowl and growl in distaste.
Only, Draghar was trying to control himself. He didn't want to tarnish his already bad image in front of Torak.
"You have an older brother who is supposed to be an Alpha after your father, what did you do to him?" asked Torak inquisitively.
Draghar knew that Torak's question would get to this point, but still when he gave that answer, it didn't sound good, no matter how he put the words together.
"I challenged him to a fight too," Draghar replied in a stiff voice. His dark brown eyes stared intently at Torak. As if challenging the Alpha. The beast inside of him again felt threatened and made a self-defense in an aggressive manner. "If you ask me why I did that, then I won't give you the answer."
"Why?" Torak narrowed his eyes, responding to Draghar's aggressiveness. This man couldn't control the beast inside him well enough…
"Because that was what I needed to do at the time and I won't give you any further explanation than this," Draghar said, this time his voice sounded like someone, who was snarling and his eyes starting to turn black.
Likewise Torak. He didn't accept Draghar's rudeness, especially not in his turf.
However, before anything worse happened, Raine opened the door of Torak's study, without knocking it first.
"Oh, I thought Torak was alone," Raine said with a sweet smile on her lips. "Are you guys discussing something serious? If so, I will come back later," she said.
But, then Draghar stood up and Torak did the same thing at almost the same time.
And before Draghar could finish his sentence, Torak had already walked swiftly towards Raine and placed her behind his back, as if Draghar was a threat to his mate's safety.
"We're done," Draghar said stiffly, then walked out of the study.
When the door closed and there were only the two of them, Raine walked around Torak and looked into his black eyes.
"You guys are at odds?" she asked as she ran her finger down the side of Torak's face, calming the Alpha.
"That lycan is dangerous for Aurora," Torak said gloomily.
"Why?" Raine frowned.
"He's not well controlled," replied Torak.
================
Aurora woke up earlier than usual and immediately got out of bed and took a shower, she also spent more time choosing what clothes to wear this morning, which she usually didn't really care about.
Then with a doubtful look, she looked at her dressing table.
Should she wear light make- up?
Aurora was really annoyed that she became indecisive like this, but also felt like her heart was going to explode with joy.
Just imagining that she would meet Draghar was already something that pleased her.
Especially when she smelled his scent.
Wait a moment.
Aurora startled when she realized something. She thought she was just imagining this, since her head was filled with Draghar, but when she opened the door, she found the man standing there.
"Good morning," he greeted in a low voice and his hoodie covered almost half of his face.
"Good morning," said Aurora. "You woke up so early."
"Yes, because I can't wait to see you again." The beast within him did not understand the word waiting.
