Destined Love

A New Day

*Third Person's Point Of View*

    When Aurora woke up she felt dizzy from the events that took place last night. She turned to face her mate, who was still in a deep sleep with one hand on her waist. She thought this was all a dream so she pinched herself just to make sure she wasn’t sleeping and when her thin fingers released her own skin she gleaned with joy.  

    She stared at Jonah’s beautiful portrait. He was breathing very calmly, his muscular chest and thick shoulders moving up and down. The current position he was in showcased his sharp jawline and his lean neck. Since the sheets were right below his hips, she stared him down to his well-defined v-line and her face got very hot. She never imagined she would wake up next to such a man. 

    When Jonah began to move his body and opened his eyes, Aurora quickly turned around again and pulled the bed sheets over her nude body. Jonah began to giggle when he caught a glimpse of her agitated state. He got closer to her body and pulled her into his embrace while whispering very softly in her ear.

    “Do you like what you see?” 

    “I-I didn’t mean to ... I just woke up and you were there!”

    She tried to avoid his question at all cost and tried to act as normal as possible, but Jonah continued to tease her. He held her tighter and her breath began to get caught in her throat. The scene from their night together continued to play in her head, so her body was still very sensitive to his touch. Jonah was also starting to get hard just by having her body at such a close proximity.

    He began to kiss her neck and Aurora closed her eyes in anticipation. He wanted to see her face so he turned her around and then captured her lips. They kissed for a long time until Aurora pulled away to catch her breath. Her lips were hot and they burned, but she wanted to kiss him more. While he stared at her with lust in his eyes, she took it upon herself to grab his face with both hands and leaned in to kiss him. When Aurora felt him move his body to position himself on top of her, she pushed him away. Her body was aching and her entire lower body was very sore. 

    "Jonah wait. I can't right now."

    He stared at her with disappointment in his eyes, but after a few seconds he understood what was going on. He was an i***t. Last night he didn't control himself and was too harsh on her inexperienced body. He felt guilty so he sat up on the bed and lifted her body to embrace her tightly. 

    "I'm sorry my love." 

    Aurora hugged him back and a soft smile formed across her face. They embraced each other, listening to their heartbeats and feeling each other's warm breath. After a few minutes, Jonah asked Aurora a question that she was not prepared for.

    "I've been meaning to ask you this. Yesterday when your father came over to greet us, he seemed very cold towards you. I don't mean to pry in your business, but you are my mate and my wife so I am concerned. Is everything between you two."

    Aurora didn't want Jonah to see the side of her that was dejected and weak, but if they were going to make this relationship work, she had to be honest with him. She took a deep breath and began to tell Jonah everything about her past. She told him about the tarnished relationship with her father that formed after her mother's death. She explained how her father hated her because she reminded him of his mother and admitted that she was abused by her stepmother while living in Archer. 

    As she continued to talk about her life, Jonah grew more and more furious. He felt like leaving for Archer in that exact moment to torture all those who harmed his mate until they begged for her forgiveness. He imagined how lonely her life must have been after her mother's death and how cruel her new family must have treated her. Now he understood why she had all the scars on her back. His blood boiled more and he swore to himself that he would make them pay for what they did. 

    When Aurora finished telling him her story he hugged her tightly again and caressed her hair. This tiny creature before him held his entire soul in her hands and he wanted to protect her at all costs. He kissed her cheek and then moved to peck her lips. He moved the hair from her face to get a better glimpse of her beauty and spotted another scar above her eyebrow. He hugged her again and then opened his mouth to speak. 

    I'm sorry you went through all that alone. If anyone ever wants hurt you,  it will have to be over my dead body." 

    Aurora had never felt safer than she did in his arms. She hugged her mate tightly and prayed that she would never have to be without him. Tears of happiness welled up in her eyes. It felt so good to have someone she could trust unconditionally and someone who would stay by her side forever. 

    When they heard a knock on the door, Aurora quickly covered herself with the sheets again to hide her nude body. Jonah got up and put on his robe to open the door. The maids came and their cheeks grew red when they saw Aurora on the bed. 

    "Inform my parents that my wife and I will not be joining them for breakfast. Bring up a tray of food for us and then prepare a bath. Also, make sure to move all of my wife's belongings into my bedroom. That will be it."

    The maids quickly followed Jonah's orders while whispering between small giggles. Aurora was so embarrassed that she decided to cover her whole face with the sheets too. Now all of the maids in the castle would be talking about the compromising state their future Luna was found in. Jonah didn't mind it though, he wanted everyone to know that they were spending their nights in each other's embrace and that he cherished his mate more than anything else in his life. 

    When they were alone again, they had breakfast together and then took a bath. Jonah helped Aurora get clean and she did the same for him. When they were both dressed and ready to go, they left his room to start a  new day.
