Painful memories
Late in the night. In the kitchen of a small house in city L. A woman could be seen cooking in the kitchen; she was humming a song until a man slipped his hands around her waist and hugged her from behind.
“Dan. You have to go and stay with the baby.”
“Little Ellie is asleep. We can have our alone time now.” The man said before turning her around to face him.
“I’m cooking now. We can do this later.” She said, but her husband wasn’t giving her a chance. He pulled her closer and kissed her lips deeply.
The woman also couldn’t resist her hot husband. Her hand also moved to his hair. She ran her hands into his hair as she moaned from the kisses he was giving her from her lips to her neck.
The tension was so great that they were about to remove their clothes when they heard a loud cry from the living room. “It looks like you’ll have to wait for a long time.” The woman smiled before walking out of the room.
“Oh, little Ellie. It’s okay. Don’t cry.” She patted the small baby and fed her until she slept off again.
The couple both finished preparing the food and set the table to eat. They fed each other with a smile on their faces until they heard someone opening the entrance door with a key. They didn’t bother standing up or getting scared because they knew who it was.
“Right about time, Louise. Look at the time you’re just coming back home.” Dan said to the lady that she was just removing her shoes carelessly. She walked to the baby, sleeping in the cradle, and kissed her forehead before turning to her brother.
“I’m sorry, brother.” She said with a playful tone, which got her brother even more angry. “There’s no food for you tonight. You can get your food wherever you’re coming from.” Dan snapped.
She knew that no one could save her other than the lady smiling in the chair opposite them. “Aurora.” She called out with a sad expression.
“You can’t punish her by not giving her food. There will be waste if you don’t give her food. After all, there’s more than enough.” Aurora said with a smile, rubbing her husband’s hands lightly until he finally agreed.
Louise smiled happily and sat on a nearby chair. She quickly served herself a plate of food and ate before turning to Aurora. “Is my brother still sulking?”
Dan was surprised to hear her sudden question. He turned to her and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“Have you stopped getting jealous of Ellie because Aurora spends more time with her?” She asked with a small smile, but before he could reply, Aurora answered with a smile. “His sulking keeps getting worse.”
They all laughed and continued eating their food until Aurora suddenly dropped her cutlery on the table with a loud sound. “What’s wrong?” Dan asked, noticing how she suddenly looked scared and disturbed.
“Something is wrong. I can feel it.” She said this before standing up from her seat. Dan quickly ran towards her and touched her hands, which were already sweaty because of fear. “What’s wrong? Please talk to me.”
“You should drink water.” Louise said before taking her cup to pour water, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks. “They’re close by. The wolves are here.”
“Wolves?” Dan asked as he stared at the lady in his arms. He couldn’t believe that the wolves would catch up to them after they’d fled and run far away from them.
“We have to go now.” He said. He was about to move, but Aurora dragged him back. “No. They’ll still catch up with us. A wolf’s senses are strong,” she said with hot tears running out of her eyes.
Aurora went to the cradle and carried the small baby. She gave the baby to her husband and said, “Take her and go. You need to save yourself.”
“Have you lost it? You think I’ll leave you here and run away like a coward?!” Dan asked, raising his voice, but he only heard a light whimper from her. “Dan, please.” She begged, but the man did not listen. Instead, he turned to his sister, who was already crying with loud sobs. “Take her.” He gave the baby to Louise.
“What are you doing?” Louise asked.
“You should tell her how great her father and mother are.” As soon as he said that, A drop of tears ran down his eyes, but he quickly wiped it off. “Brother. Please don’t do this. Aurora, please. She cried, but her brother quickly pushed her to the entrance of the door.
Despite all the pleading from Aurora and Louise, Dan did not listen. He pulled up the carpet from the door entrance and opened a secret door that was built for emergencies. “You have to go now. I love you both.” He kissed her forehead before kissing the baby with her. Aurora also got closer and kissed her baby. “I’m sorry, my little star.”
He quickly pushed her to enter the underground route before the evil ones came in. “Run as fast as you can, Louise,” he said, before closing the door and covering it back with the carpet.
“I love you, Aurora.” They both hugged each other and cried into each other’s arms until they suddenly heard a loud noise from the windows. But before they could make any move, the door suddenly fell to the ground because of a hard hit from one of the werewolves.
“Take cover.” She said to Dan before moving forward. Aurora transformed into her wolf form and fought the enemies. Despite how strong and fast she was, she still couldn’t defeat them because there were many.
Aur… Aurora. She turned back to where the voice came from, only to see her husband lying on the floor with his hands on his stomach. He had been stabbed by one of the werewolves.
She changed back to her human self and ran to him. “Dan.” She called out in tears. “Dan. Please open your eyes.” She screamed as she felt his hands become heavy. Dan!!
She was still wailing when a man walked into the room. “Aurora, my dear. You shouldn’t cry because of a powerless human like him. He deserves to die.”
“Why? Why did you do this?!” She screamed without looking up at the man. She knew that it was her chosen mate whom she had rejected in front of everyone.
“It’s all your fault, Aurora. He wouldn’t have lost his life if you hadn’t chosen him. Now we can be together finally.” The man said it with a chuckle.
“Over my dead body.” As soon as the words came out of her mouth, She grabbed the knife from Dan’s body and aimed at her heart.
“Hey! Stop her!” The man screamed, but there was nothing that could be done. Aurora had stabbed herself in the chest. “How could you do this, Aurora? Search everywhere for that forbidden baby!” He screamed as he touched the dead woman’s face.

No! She screamed out of her sleep. Sweat was all over her body.
Ellie! Are you okay? Maya asked with worry. They’ve been trying to wake her up ever since she started moving and talking strangely in her sleep, but they couldn’t.
“My mom and dad. They killed them.” She cried with loud sobs, while Maya just hugged her. Maya wanted to ask her more questions about what she was talking about, but she knew that she wasn’t in the right state.
But there was something that made her more concerned. “Her parents were killed by whom?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Because of how down and sad she was, they had to leave the dark forest without talking to Agnes about the next step.
