Bound To The Alpha King

episod

Aurora could not move as she stared at the stranger standing in the darkness The face was familiar in a way that made her entire body freeze She had seen that face before many years ago in Moonridge Pack She remembered the man as one of the few people who had ever spoken kindly to her when she was a child His name was Adrian Vale Her fathers closest friend and the man Aurora had been told died in the same incident that caused Elias Vale to disappear Aurora whispered Your dead Adrian smiled I was supposed to be Keal immediately stepped in front of Aurora but Adrian did not move His eyes remained fixed on her I have waited a very long time to see you again Aurora looked at Selene You knew about him Selene remained silent Aurora's voice became stronger You knew Adrian was alive Selene finally nodded I knew Keal turned toward his mother Why did you never tell me Selene looked at Adrian Because Adrian was one of the people protecting Elias Keal's expression hardened Then why is he here Adrian stepped forward slowly Because protecting your father became impossible when the Council discovered where he was being held Aurora stared at him Where is my father Adrian looked at her for several seconds Before I answer that you need to understand why you were brought to Moonridge Aurora shook her head My father brought me there to hide me Adrian nodded That was only part of the truth He brought you there because Moonridge had a secret Aurora frowned What secret Adrian looked at the silver crescent around her neck The pack was built over an ancient royal sanctuary Aurora suddenly remembered the old markings beneath the pack house The strange room she had once discovered as a child Adrian continued Your father believed the sanctuary would protect your power But he was wrong Someone inside Moonridge betrayed him Aurora's eyes widened Who Adrian's expression became serious The Alpha of Moonridge was not the only traitor Aurora remembered the years of cruelty and the way the Alpha had always watched her She clenched her hands Then who else Adrian looked toward the tunnel behind him The answer is connected to your mother Aurora's heart dropped My mother Adrian nodded Your mother did not die when you were born She disappeared because she was taken by the same people who took your father Aurora stepped forward Then take me to them Adrian looked at Keal first Keal gave a cold nod We are going together Adrian studied him You should know what happens if you enter the Royal District The Council will know immediately Keal's eyes remained calm Let them know Adrian smiled slightly Your father trusted your courage Keal But courage will not be enough this time Aurora stepped beside Keal I am not afraid of the Council Adrian looked at her and for the first time his smile disappeared You should be Aurora The Royal District is not abandoned It has been occupied for twenty years Aurora felt the silver crescent grow warm again By whom Adrian answered By the people who took your family Aurora looked at Selene and saw something in her expression that confirmed the danger Selene stepped closer Aurora there is something else you need to know Aurora turned toward her What Adrian cannot tell you Selene looked at Adrian and he slowly lowered his eyes Selene continued The person controlling the Council knows that you are awake Aurora felt the air leave her lungs How do they know Selene touched the silver crescent around Aurora's neck Because your power has been calling to them since the moment you entered the tower Aurora looked down at the glowing crescent Then we do not have much time Adrian nodded No We have less than an hour before they arrive Keal immediately looked toward the passage Then we move now Adrian turned and started walking Aurora followed him with Keal and Selene close behind The tunnel became narrower as they descended deeper beneath the city and the temperature continued to fall Aurora could hear a faint heartbeat somewhere in the darkness At first she thought it was her own but then she realized it was coming from beneath the floor Aurora stopped Dad Keal turned toward her You heard it too Aurora nodded Adrian looked back at them That is why I brought you here He is close Aurora hurried forward but Adrian raised his hand Stop The floor ahead suddenly illuminated with red symbols A warning appeared across the stone wall The blood of the Queen shall open the gate Aurora stared at the words Keal stepped beside her Do not touch it Adrian said Aurora looked at him Why Because that gate does not lead directly to your father Aurora studied the symbols Then where does it lead Adrian's expression became grim It leads to the person who has been waiting for you since the night you were born Suddenly a deep sound echoed through the tunnel The walls began to shake and the red symbols turned silver Aurora's crescent blazed with light A voice came from behind the sealed gate Aurora Vale The gate slowly began to open and a familiar voice whispered Welcome home Queen Aurora's eyes widened because she knew that voice It was her mother's voice
