Chapter 1157: Aurora (36)
"Draghar." They arrived at their room and Aurora saw Draghar kneeling in front of her, while herself sitting on the edge of the bed.
On the other hand, Draghar was concentrating fully on treating the wounds on Aurora's arms and knees and there were also some scratches on her skin.
This made him angry. He was wrathful when he found each of these wounds. Mainly due to the fact that Aurora's wounds would not heal quickly it would take two to three days for such wounds to heal.
"Hey, listen to me…" Aurora reached out and cupped Draghar's face, pulling him closer so he could look at her. "I'm fine."
"Stop saying that Aurora! You're not okay!" Unintentionally, Draghar snapped at Aurora loudly, due to the emotion he had been trying to suppress for a long time.
However, when he saw the surprised look on Aurora's face, he immediately realized his mistake.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you." Draghar shook his head and stood up, walking away from Aurora. His mind was in a mess and he didn't want to accidentally hurt his mate, either physically or verbally.
But, Aurora didn't let Draghar go. She walked quickly and hugged the man from behind, pressing her face against Draghar's broad and sturdy back.
"Where are you going?" asked Aurora in a low voice. She rubbed her face against the man's back and could feel the tension in Draghar ease slightly as he took a deep breath. "I want you here with me."
"I'll be outside," Draghar replied stiffly.
"Why are you outside while I'm here?" asked Aurora in a voice like she was muttering.
"I don't know, I just need some time alone." Dragar shook his head. He didn't know how to deal with Aurora now.
He felt very guilty for hurting her, but also couldn't leave her because he didn't feel it was the right thing to do.
And the most important thing was; Draghar didn't want to answer the question that Aurora would surely ask now.
Draghar was used to dealing with everything alone and also used to not explaining what he was doing, so he felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, because he could guess what Aurora wanted from him.
"I want you to be by my side," Aurora said, responding to Draghar's words just now. "Can't you stay here?"
Draghar sighed and turned around.
"Okay…"
================
Unlike what Draghar thought, Aurora didn't even ask anything about the attack.
The two of them finally lay on the bed and hugged each other, feeling each other's presence and Aurora began to sleep soundly. Her hair was spread out on the white pillow and her sleeping face was very peaceful, with her red lips parted slightly.
Maybe Aurora didn't ask him anything about today's attack because she was still in shock, but Draghar felt a little relieved, because Aurora didn't say anything…
Draghar was not unaware that Aurora was trying to read his mind, several times he had felt that way, but he didn't allow anyone to enter his mind. No one…
And the habit has become something absolute for him.
It's not that Draghar didn't want to share his thoughts with Aurora, it's just that he felt that he was too dark for her…
Draghar then leaned over and lightly kissed the top of Aurora's head, fixed the blanket around her and slowly got off the bed.
================
"I called you a long time ago and you're only here now?" Rose looked at her brother fiercely, she had been standing in front of Draghar's door for about half an hour before the man finally came out.
"Aurora just fell asleep," Draghar replied curtly.
"She is not a baby," Rose said fiercely. She rolled his eyes when she heard Draghar's excuse.
Only, Draghar didn't want to fight with Rose about this. "You got Gerald?"
"He ran away," Rose answered simply. She then glanced at the door and was about to say something, but she swallowed it back and changed the topic. "The army that Gerald built with those magicians has grown stronger."
"Yes," replied Draghar.
"We lost a lot of members."
If things continued like this in subsequent attacks, Rose wasn't sure they would be able to hold out.
================
Aurora had tried several times to discuss the communication problem between them and Draghar, but the man seemed to always avoid the topic.
Draghar seemed to just want to make Aurora felt safe and didn't want to discuss anything else about himself deeper.
Now, even Aurora could feel that Draghar had built such a strong wall between the two of them. Whether it was to keep Aurora from knowing him, or the high wall was meant for Draghar to hide himself…
And after almost a week in the pack, another thing that Aurora noticed about Draghar was that he always did everything alone. He's never asked anyone to do anything for him, but that didn't mean Draghar wouldn't help other members of the pack who need his help…
"Hey, beautiful!" Cole called out to Aurora as he walked behind her and surprised her.
"Cole, if you do that again, I'll really claw your face," Aurora grumbled.
Cole, the Gamma of the pack, was even more annoying than Calleb when he's making fun of her like this, especially when Aurora couldn't sense his presence.
"What are you thinking now beautiful?" Cole asked as he walked beside Aurora. Of course the word 'beautiful' that the magician gave her would not be said in front of Draghar.
The alpha could cut his tongue if he did that.
"Nothing," Aurora replied nonchalantly. "Then what are you doing here?"
Aurora had just returned from accompanied Knox to buy his stationery for school tomorrow, and now the little boy was with Clarice.
"Rose wants to see you," Cole said.
"Where is she?" asked Aurora, frowning. She wasn't very close to Rose and the few times they'd met the girl didn't show that she was interested in making friends with her.
"At the training ground."
"But, Draghar forbade me to go there."
"You'll regret it if you don't come, pretty," said Cole. "Perhaps you will know more about your man."
