Full Moon Defenders

Chapter 4

AURORA’S POV

I didn’t want to get him into trouble. I just wanted him to understand that he can’t just put limits on my privacy, my actions, my will, just because he was scared that something bad could happen to me. I mean, hearing him concerned about my safety made me happy somehow, but he took it to the extreme that I simply couldn’t let go, like locking me in my room. What was he thinking, really? That I would simply lower my head and obey without a word? Hell, no. That is never going to happen. That is why I broke the window and jumped out, but I never thought that it would end up in such a mess. He fooled himself in front of the pack. The pack for which, in two days, he will be the Alpha. I felt so guilty. I wanted to help him somehow, but I knew that any attempt of mine would make things worse.

I was really worried about him and I already felt it was mostly my fault, but when he turned his gaze at me I knew that he would never forgive me for putting him in such a humiliating situation in front of his pack.

Tears were coming out of my eyes. People were already looking with those accusing glances at me, so I ran into my room. I pass the broken door reliving the moment when my brother slammed it through the wall. I remember the look in his eyes. He was scared. All he ever did was to protect me and how did I pay him back? Humiliating him in front of everybody , just two days before his big day. Will he ever forgive me? I lay down on the bed and hid my crying in the pillow. I don't even remember the last time I cried. Maybe it was the day that my father died. It was tragic for all of us. James Asmi was the best Alpha, the best father, the best friend. Losing him was hard for the entire pack, especially for me and my brother. I remember after we buried him, he approached me , hugged me and told me „Don’t worry, sis! I will protect you from now on. Nobody will ever hurt you. That’s my promise to you.” And somehow he kept his word for all these years. Nobody ever hurt me, even though they would love to. Nobody ever wanted me in that pack.Before, they feared going against Alpha James’s will, but after he was gone I was afraid that the pack would ask for my head. But that never happened and I have thanked the Goddess every single night since, for surviving another day. I knew that she had sent an angel to guard me. I feel it deep inside my soul.

The time to repay my brother for everything he has done for me has come. I must stop being and acting like a little brat. It’s my turn to be supportive and understanding. If all I need to do is today, then that is what I am going to do. I am not going to make it even harder than it is for him. I wiped the tears from my face and I went to the door. It’s time to fix the broken things.” I thought and I went out to look for some tools to fix the door and the window.

There was only one place where I could find such things but, unfortunately for me, there were people there already. I froze for a second, not sure if I should say something or remain quiet and just look for what I was coming for. I knew those guys very well. They worked at the castle since I know myself, but after what happened in the yard earlier I knew that they were not gonna miss the chance to get at me.” We always knew that you were not good for this pack and today you proved it. You never were and never will be a good influence on Alex. Maybe it’s time for you to find your place in the world because the Full Moon Pack is definitely not the one.”said one of the men, while the others didn’t even dare to look at me. He was right. Soo right. Again I felt that tears were about to roll over my face and I turned around to leave, but I went straight into someone’s chest. I looked up to see who I had the misfortune to bump into and when I lit my face up ,I saw him. „ Brother”, I said, almost whispering.

He wasn’t looking at me. His gaze was on that man who dared to speak to me the way he did.

„How dare you speak like that to my sister? Know your place, Milo. She is my sister and everyone here will respect that. Understood?” he was in a rage. There was no doubt and nobody dared to say anything to him.

They simply lower their heads in agreement „ Yes, Alpha”.

I couldn’t take my eyes off him. The way he protected me in front of everybody after everything I had done made my heart go crazy. Yes, I must definitely change my behavior. From now on, I will be an obeying sister because that is what he deserves. I thought and a smile appeared on my face.

„What are you smiling at? What are you doing here?” he asked me finally, looking at me.

„ I just came to pick up some tools. The door and the window must be fixed.” I told him hoping that I would not receive another mad look from him.

„I will help you.”he answered me, and started to look for the needed tools.

I felt so happy to see that he wasn’t upset with me anymore. Anyway, I will apologize to him when we are alone. It's the right thing to do.
