Bound To The Alpha King

Chapter 6

Aurora stood in the center of the room unable to understand what was happening around her The silver light continued spreading across her hands and slowly moved up her arms while the wolves around her remained on their knees Nobody spoke and even the guards who had spent years serving Keal looked at Aurora with a mixture of fear and respect Aurora looked at Keal as if he were the only person who could explain what was happening but for once even the Alpha King seemed uncertain His eyes remained fixed on the silver light surrounding her and his wolf was reacting more strongly than ever before Keal stepped toward her Aurora do not be afraid Aurora looked at him How can I not be afraid when everyone is kneeling because of me Keal stopped a few steps away from her I do not know what you are yet but I know one thing You are not dangerous to me Aurora stared at him You do not know that Keal's expression hardened I know enough Aurora suddenly felt a sharp pressure in her chest and dropped to one knee Keal immediately moved toward her Aurora Her hand touched the floor and the silver light flashed through the room A powerful wave moved through the estate and every light went out again The wolves outside began howling louder Aurora closed her eyes and suddenly saw a place she had never been before It was a huge ancient hall surrounded by tall silver pillars At the center stood a woman wearing a crown made from silver and white stones The woman looked exactly like Aurora The woman turned toward her and whispered You were never abandoned You were hidden Aurora tried to move closer but the vision changed She saw her father Elias standing in the same hall holding a newborn baby in his arms Aurora realized the baby was her Behind him stood several Alpha leaders and one man whose face was covered by a black hood The hooded man spoke The child must never know who she is Elias stepped forward You will never touch my daughter The vision suddenly became darker and Aurora heard her father's voice one last time If they find you before your twenty second birthday run to the Alpha King Aurora opened her eyes suddenly Keal was kneeling beside her Aurora looked at him in shock My father knew you Keal looked at her I think he knew my family Aurora shook her head He told me to find you Keal's expression changed What did you say Aurora grabbed his arm He told me if they ever found me I should run to the Alpha King Keal stared at her Why did you never tell me this before I did not remember it until now Keal remained silent for several seconds Then he stood and looked at the guards Secure the estate Nobody enters Nobody leaves The guards immediately moved Keal looked back at Aurora We are going to the royal archives Aurora frowned Why Because if your father left a message for you then there may be more Aurora slowly stood up The silver light had disappeared from her skin but she could still feel the power inside her It was no longer sleeping It was awake and waiting Keal held out his hand Aurora looked at it for a moment before taking it The moment their hands touched the bond between them became stronger Aurora felt warmth rush through her body and Keal's expression changed slightly He quickly released her hand Aurora noticed You felt that Keal looked away Yes Aurora's voice became quieter What was it He did not answer Immediately one of the guards rushed into the room Alpha King We have movement at the eastern gate Keal's entire body became tense How many Three vehicles The guard answered They are not responding to our security system Aurora looked at Keal Who are they Keal's eyes turned cold Black Fang Aurora's heart dropped They found us already Keal looked at the guards Get the vehicles ready Aurora stepped forward I am coming with you Keal shook his head No Aurora's expression hardened You said I needed to learn how to protect myself Then let me start now Keal stared at her for several seconds before finally nodding Stay beside me at all times Aurora nodded They moved quickly through the estate while the sound of alarms echoed around them The security team rushed toward the eastern gate and Keal led Aurora toward an underground passage Aurora looked around in surprise Where does this go Keal pressed his hand against a hidden panel The wall opened revealing a private tunnel beneath the estate This connects to the city Aurora followed him inside The doors closed behind them and the sounds of the estate became distant Keal walked ahead while Aurora followed closely behind Suddenly she felt a strange pull in her chest She stopped Keal immediately turned around What is wrong Aurora looked toward the wall I can hear something Keal walked back toward her Hear what Aurora placed her hand against the wall Someone is calling me Keal's expression changed He touched the wall and listened but heard nothing Aurora closed her eyes The voice became clearer Come to the old tower Aurora opened her eyes The old tower she whispered Keal looked at her What old tower I do not know Aurora answered But someone wants me there Keal stared at her Then we are not going there Aurora frowned Why Because if someone wants you to go somewhere they are probably waiting for you Keal continued walking Aurora followed but the voice inside her mind did not disappear Come to the old tower Aurora Suddenly the tunnel shook The walls trembled and dust fell from the ceiling Keal immediately grabbed Aurora's arm and pulled her behind him Stay here A loud explosion came from somewhere above them Aurora covered her ears The tunnel lights flickered and then a deep growl echoed through the darkness Keal's wolf rose to the surface His eyes changed and his entire presence became more powerful Aurora had never seen him like this Keal looked toward the darkness Someone is inside the tunnel Aurora whispered Keal nodded Get behind me A shadow moved at the end of the passage A man stepped into the faint light wearing a black coat with the Black Fang symbol across his chest He looked directly at Aurora and smiled We finally found you Keal stepped forward You will not touch her The man laughed You still do not understand Alpha King She was never yours to protect Aurora's wolf growled inside her and silver light began appearing around her hands again The man looked at the light and his smile disappeared The Queen has awakened Keal turned toward Aurora while the man slowly stepped backward Aurora looked at her glowing hands and realized that the fear she had carried for years was beginning to disappear Something stronger was taking its place The stranger raised his hand and the tunnel suddenly filled with shadows Aurora looked at Keal and for the first time she did not feel like the weak girl from Moonridge She felt powerful She felt awake And when Keal reached for her hand Aurora took it without hesitation Together they stood in the darkness waiting for the first attack while the ancient power inside Aurora continued to rise
