Chapter 1161: Aurora (40)
"You shouldn\'t know such a despicable thing," Draghar clenched his jaw tightly.
Aurora then walked closer to Draghar, she could see the agitation in her mate\'s eyes, when she had learned about the past he was trying to hide from her.
"Draghar, how long are you going to cover this up?" Aurora looked at him sternly. "Don\'t you think I deserve to know everything about you? I will tell you everything about myself. I will answer any questions you may have about me. Nothing I will hide from you."
Draghar shook his head, he again moved away from Aurora, as if he had a deadly disease that could infect the girl and this only made her more frustrated with the man\'s attitude.
"Everything is different Aurora, you don\'t have a past like mine!" Draghar growled at the girl in front of him. But then he shook his head vigorously again. The thought that Aurora had the same past as his frightened Draghar to the bit.
He did not expect this to happen to Aurora and was very grateful that the girl did not have to feel that way. She had the perfect family and nothing else would make Draghar more relieved than knowing that.
It\'s just that, when you get used to closing yourself off and burying all the bitter memories, which could be said to be a disgrace, you would become unaccustomed to sharing them, and for Draghar\'s case, especially with Aurora...
Draghar didn\'t want Aurora to know about it, because he felt so humiliated right now. Damn Rose!
Draghar felt so vulnerable and he didn\'t like that feeling, because it reminded him of his old self, who was easy to manipulate and his self- worth was being trampled on when he showed his fragile and weak self.
And now, with Aurora knowing that, for some reason Draghar felt very angry, because he felt that way again.
"Draghar, you can\'t avoid me all the time." Aurora tried to approach him, but Draghar raised his hand and glared at her.
"Please don\'t come near me for now," he said stiffly, his body shaking and his brown eyes turning black, indicating the conflict within him that he was feeling right now.
"No." Aurora then stepped forward bravely and hugged Draghar\'s body. "Why are you angry? Did you think that I would look at you differently after I found out about that?" Aurora didn\'t understand at all, she didn\'t understand what Draghar was afraid of from herself knowing this.
"Please stay away from me Aurora, I can hurt you," Draghar growled again. His body stiffened the moment Aurora hugged him when his emotions were messy and disorganized.
"You won\'t hurt me Draghar." Aurora insisted. "I want us to discuss this. There\'s something wrong with the way we communicate if you don\'t want to talk about what\'s bothering you. If you need time, I will give it to you, I will wait for you, but don\'t avoid this."
Draghar snarled at her again and shouted at Aurora in a loud voice, using his alpha voice to get the girl out of the way. "LEAVE!"
Aurora flinched when she saw Draghar became violent. It never occurred to her that Draghar would be this angry and use his alpha voice on her.
And that made Aurora take two steps back, staring at Draghar with disbelieving eyes.
"You snapped at me and used an alpha voice on me?" actually the alpha voice didn\'t have much effect on Aurora, because she herself had alpha blood, but still the way Draghar snapped at her made Aurora unable to accept it.
Draghar realized his mistake, but the look in Aurora\'s eyes scared him. He had been surrounded by those kind of eyes once and his mate was the last person he expected to give those eyes again.
The words of apology that almost escaped his lips before, now he couldn\'t say it, because that was what he always did in the past. He always apologized whenever they looked at him like that.
Of course, no matter how strong Draghar was now, there was a part of him that was still very fragile and had not healed from the prolonged trauma he endured when he was a child.
What had happened to him wasn\'t something he could easily forget just because he wanted to…
"Draghar…" Aurora was confused by what was happening and she didn\'t know how to act. This was her first relationship with a man and it wasn\'t just Draghar\'s attitude that confused her, at the same time, she was still trying to adapt to a completely different pack.
And that was not an easy thing.
Now, Aurora felt alone and Draghar was not helping her at all by yelling at her like that and treating her unreservedly.
Aurora felt herself in a strange place with strangers...
This relationship frustrated her. She thought that having each other and their strong feelings, then it was enough for Aurora to follow Draghar wherever he went.
However, it turned out to be a misconception. There were a lot of things they had to talk about and discuss, but Draghar wasn\'t helping at all in this regard…
Her parents were always able to communicate with each other when faced with a problem, but why couldn\'t she do that with Draghar?
"Draghar!" Aurora screamed for Draghar when he suddenly shifted into his black beast and crashed into the glass in the kitchen, sending sharp shards scattering as he fled from there.
Luckily, Aurora didn\'t stand too close to the window so she wasn\'t hurt when it happened.
================
Aurora waited until late at night, but Draghar did not return. She was frustrated and tried to find him, but she didn\'t know where to start.
Aurora needed someone to talk to, to tell her what she should and must do in a situation like this. However, she felt she didn\'t really have anyone here to talk to.
And the only thing that crossed Aurora\'s mind was her mother.
Therefore, with trembling hands, Aurora tried to contact her mother. She knew that it was very late at night and that her mother had probably fallen asleep.
But, she couldn\'t think of anything else anymore…
Therefore, she promised, if her mother did not pick up this call then Aurora would not try for the second attempt.
However, in reality, Raine picked up her daughter\'s call on the fourth ring. Her voice still sounded a little sleepy, but awake enough to hear Aurora\'s sobs.
"What is it, honey?" Raine asked softly when she heard Aurora\'s cries getting louder and this woke Torak who was sleeping beside her, the alpha\'s eyes blazing at his mate who got a call from their daughter.
Meanwhile, Aurora didn\'t understand why she suddenly cries uncontrollably when she heard her mother\'s warm voice...
================
After talking with her mother for a while and feeling much better, Aurora chose to leave the room and look for Collin, the beta can definitely help her to find Draghar, because until the sun rises he still hasn\'t come back.
Aurora was grateful that she didn\'t have to talk to her father. Of course her father\'s response was not something that could help her to ease her anxiety at this time.
Aurora knew where Collin\'s room was after asking a young woman who was holding her child. She pointed to the very far end of the pack house\'s right wing.
Given that it was still early, Aurora thought that Collin was still asleep. So she knocked on the door first.
But, even for five minutes Aurora stood there, still no response from the beta.
Was Collin already up and going to do his chores? Because that was what Calleb did when he was not in his own house.
But then, when Aurora tried to turn the door handle, she found the door unlocked.
"Collin," Aurora called carefully as she stepped into the room. This room was utterly so messy.
Aurora couldn\'t even describe how messy the room was, she couldn\'t even believe anyone could live in such a place.
Because of all the things scattered on the floor, Aurora accidentally stepped on something which made her scream in pain and finally bumped into a display cabinet, which made the things inside rattled quite loud and make a noise.
"Who is that?" cried a woman\'s voice.
The voice startled Aurora. She stood still in her place. As far as Aurora knew, Collin still hasn\'t found his mate, but why was there a woman in his room? Did she just find that lucky girl?
"Who is there?" The woman\'s voice sounded still sleepy and then there was a rustling sound and someone walking towards Aurora.
However, the one who approached Aurora was Collin. "You? What are you doing here?" Collin asked, yawning.
"Collin, who is that?" the woman asked again and now she was following Collin to see who had entered his room.
And how surprised Aurora was when she found Clarice standing there, half naked and only using the blanket to cover herself. She didn\'t recognize her scent because of another smell in this room.
Surprise was evident on Clarice\'s facial expression, as she quickly gathered her things and rushed out of the room.
"You… and Clarice…" Aurora stuttered when she saw what was happening and understood what they had done. "You two are a mate?"
Collin laughed when he heard Aurora say that. He waved his hand nonchalantly. "No, we are just friends in bed. She is not my mate."
"But you guys..." Aurora shook her head vigorously. "How can you two be together, even though she is not your mate?"
Collin frowned and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Why not?" he asked back.
