Chapter 120: Butterflies
Back at the mansion, Scarlet sat by Aurora’s bedside, tending to her as Aurora was yet to wake up. She had been in charge of taking care of the latter since a week ago. It was devastating to watch her best friend lying on the bed like a corpse. The pack doctor said he only managed to treat the wounds externally, but he couldn’t guarantee her complete healing internally.
"Just wake up, let’s smash those bitches asses together!" Holding her hand, Scarlet pleaded and sighed when a single strand of hair on Aurora’s head didn’t stand. She wondered if her friend was alive somewhere and was at peace there.
Cleaning up her face once more, Scarlet packed her things and switched off the light in the room before exiting it.
A large figure entered the room, silently walking into the room till he reached the bedpost. It was Damien, finally coming to see Aurora after a week. The room was dark, but he could make out her face, and how she was lying on the bed. He had been avoiding wanting to see her face and he preferred being in the dark this way.
It’s been over a week and his anger had been subdued, he just wasn’t sure if he could keep it in control upon gazing at his mate’s face. He could hear her calm breathing and was relieved to know she was still alive, but elsewhere.
He couldn’t help blaming himself for all that happened to her. If he wasn’t so stubborn to acknowledge his feelings for her, she would have been in his arms, with both of them naked in the bed. He shook his head at how naughty he was, while his mate was still lying unconscious.
"You affect me so much," he whispered, dropping his hand on her hair, and stroking it lovingly. He wasn’t going to admit it, but he had been drawn to her since the first day he met her, but decided to ignore the feeling.
Well, thanks to his mother who he was still angry at, he was able to feel love like every other person. Aurora was completely his and not even death would separate them. He would find her to the depths of hell if he needed to.
Taking her hand, he palmed it and dropped it near his cheeks. Strangely, he could feel her hands trembling which made him frown.
"Are you awake?" Realizing something, he asked.
Suddenly, Aurora gently opened her eyes and removed her hand from his hold. She had been awake before Scarlet’s departure but didn’t want to be nagged, so she decided to wait till Scarlet was gone before she woke up.
