You are cursed. From today, you will be separated from this pack".

"But...I", Aurora said before she was interrupted.

" I am not finished Aurora", His voice thundered and silenced the murmur from the crowd.

"I will speak and you will listen, no more interruptions from you, you can no longer be a part of this pack. I will give you 12 hours to say your goodbyes", he added.

Aurora looked at the man she had loved her whole life and how he treated her like a stranger. As he walked out of the pack, she believed it was only a nightmare, one she could wake up from. She watched as the crowd of thirty wolves left without saying a word. No one was ready to stand up for her.

"Aurora, Aurora".

Aurora could not hear the thin voice that called out to her, she was still kneeling with her face down. She thought she was used to the humiliation, but she could take it from anyone, not someone she considered her soul tie. She could give up her life for him but he denied her existence before the pack.

" Over here, Aurora."

"Camila", I..I", Aurora stuttered.

" You do not have to say anything, I am sorry for the way Alan treated you", Camila said, holding out her hand to pick her up from the ground.

" I don't blame him, Camila, I am such a disappointment", Aurora said, cleaning the tear that dropped on her cheek.

" No Aurora, you still deserve better".

" He loves me, he misunderstands the way things are", Aurora replied, shaking her head.

" Love? Love should be sacred and be ready to understand,", Camila said, handing Aurora a small piece of cloth.

"Where do I go from here?", Aurora asked, folding her arms.

" We will figure that out together ", Camila responded.

" I hope so", Aurora replied.

" How about you come to my place and I fix you a drink", Camila pleaded.

"I can't ", But I will stop by your place before I go", Aurora said.

" What if I insist?", Camila said with a broad smile.

"As tempting as it may sound, the clock is ticking ", Aurora replied, tapping her gently on the back.

Aurora turned and walked away, thinking about how her life had fallen apart and what she must do to fix it. She thought about talking to Alan so she decided to return to the Alpha's Fort. She arrived and found the gates locked.

" Open this gate", Aurora said, banging the doors continuously.

The guard, who could no longer pretend not to hear, stepped out and faced her.

"King Alan said he does not want you here."

"What do you mean by that ", Aurora queried.

" His Majesty says I should not let you in", 

" I am his Luna, you cannot forbid me from seeing my Alpha", Aurora said, her voice breaking.

"I am sorry but you have to leave".

" I will not leave this place till I see him", Aurora sat on the floor sobbing.

" You are making things difficult for me. I love my head attached to my head and I would love to keep it that way"

Alan laid on his bed quietly reflecting.

" King Alan says he has had enough of your drama, he suggests you leave or be forced to."

" All of my belongings are in there, how do you expect me to leave empty-handed?", Aurora asked. Her sobs had turned into tears, and she wept uncontrollably.

She was dragged out of Alan's Fort and abandoned, her clothes were torn and dirty, and she sat there quietly wondering what to do next. She noticed a figure approaching her.

" If it isn't the fallen Luna"

" Shane, what are you doing here", Aurora asked with a frown.

"Nothing, I am just here to see my lover", Shane replied.

" I will never have anything to do with you", Aurora said, spitting on the ground.

" I know, and that is why you are where you are today", Shane said, rubbing his hands on her cheeks.

"Get your filthy hands off me", Aurora yelled.

I promised you the whole world, I was ready to give you everything, even the kingdom", Shane said with his eyebrows furrowed.

" The kingdom does not belong to you", Aurora replied, glaring at him.

"Yet", Shane replied with a mischievous smile.

"Your plans will never fall through", Aurora yelled.

" Oh darling, I am capable of anything" Shane answered.

" I wonder why Alan trusts you so much, you are such a snake", Aurora said, clenching her fist.

"Not a snake, a werewolf. I am smart, confident and I know what I want."

" You are selfish Shane, my Alan gave you everything you ever needed, he calls you brother but all you think of is betraying him", Aurora shot back.

" No my love, I am powerful, maybe selfish but very powerful,, Alan underestimates my power, but what a Beta lacks in strength, he adds in wisdom. I know you do not know what it is like", Shane replied.

" I do not care", Aurora said.

" Of course you do not, you are as dumb as your ex-lover, it took nothing for me to convince him to throw you out", Shane said, stroking her hair.

" Alan gave you everything but you are still not satisfied, you want his Luna", Aurora said.

" I am more concerned about ruling the pack, you are just the icing on the cake. I find it so hard to resist this beautiful face and perfect body, your green eyes are always calling out to me, I know how many times I think of running my fingers down from your chest to ...", Shane said before Aurora cut in.

"Stop it, Shane, you disgust me", Aurora replied, taking his hands off her thigh.

"Now that your Alpha is not here, no one is going to stop me from having a taste of you", Shane said.

He moved closer to her and grabbed her cloth, tearing it gradually, his eyes turned from yellow to blue, and he was ready to pounce on her.
