Free Web NovelChapter 249: Calm before the storm (2)
"What is it with werewolves and their possessive nature when it comes to their mates, Vincent? How many times must I say how you make me feel? I feel the same way about you, Vincent. I feel the need to touch you whenever you’re around. I love how being in your arms makes me feel like I can drop my guard," Aurora loudly confessed her feelings.
She ignored the looks she was receiving since everyone could listen to what they were saying. Aurora was never embarrassed to say what she felt for Vincent out loud as long as it wasn’t anything sexual. She preferred their bedroom life be kept private but Vincent was a man who did not care when and where he said he wanted her.
Aurora’s words sounded like a sweet temptation in Vincent’s ears to take her back to their home to make love. With the entire community busy, no one would be able to bother them. It was unfortunate since he was the leader and the one who made everyone have to attend the bonfire, that he needed to stay.
"It feels like your eyes are burning a hole through my face," Aurora looked away to hide the blush she knew was there. ’
It was weird how she was the one to enjoy teasing Vincent in the past but thanks to the shy personality she gained while living as a prisoner with the Hamiltons, she had changed.
Aurora was a mix between her old self and the person Vincent rescued from the Hamiltons. Since her soul had been trapped in her body, Aurora was forced to listen to the vessel have countless lessons about being proper. Now a single look from Vincent was enough to have her blushing.
"I don’t feel like myself," she admitted to Vincent.
From the moment she had woken up and taken complete control of her body, she felt like she was too people. One was confident and the other was learning how to become confident. "I wish the memories of the person I was while I lived with the Hamiltons would disappear. I do not like how weird I feel when you stare at me."
"I love to break it to you but you have always been this way. You were just too stubborn to think you were acting like a fool in love as you would call it. You were sneaky and loved to mess with others but the more you started to experience love, the more I saw a different side to you," said Vincent.
None of Artemis’s pets or children were created with human emotions. They were only made to keep her company and to bring her information from around the kingdom.
Aurora was the second one of Artemis’s children to start acting differently when she took on a human form and started to have these emotions. She got her devious nature from the one called Chaos but since Artemis hated love, Aurora never learned of it until Vincent started to visit the forest.
"You had no idea of love back then but now you do. You are more aware of what it means when a man looks at you, you are aware of what you are feeling when I touch you, therefore you blush and try to hide the fact that it is affecting you. It is nothing to be embarrassed about," Vincent reassured her.
He knew how it could be for someone initially surrounded by chaos and was a weapon to suddenly feel weak for being affected just by her lover staring at her.
"I suppose that is a good way to look at it. I remember the first time you kissed me, I took it as some tactic to kill me," Aurora remembered the vivid memory. It was the first she knew she had a heart just like humans did. It felt like something pricked her chest when he kissed her.
"I remember you threw me to the floor and pointed a knife at my neck. I then had to explain what a kiss was. Imagine how hard it was for me when you did things without truly understanding what it meant and how it would affect me," Vincent thought of the time she started to get undressed in front of him to take a swim.
When he stopped her, she told him about the many times she took baths in the lake naked. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"You poor soul. I cannot believe I boldly did all of that," Aurora cringed at her past self but then laughed when something came to mind. "I remember the first time you made me feel aroused and you had to explain it to me. No wonder Artemis hated when you were around. She always felt like you were corrupting me. I miss those days."
Aurora missed the times she and her siblings would play pranks on humans, making their lives miserable. fгeewebnovёl.com
"I remember the first time I disobeyed Artemis. I meddled in with a human’s wish behind her back and went to see why the human said the things they did. That was the first time I learned of Esmeralda Hamilton. When I went back to the forest, Artemis wanted to banish me for going into town without her command."
"Is that why you decided you wanted to come live with me?" Vincent vaguely remembered the day. He only knew that the first day he brought Aurora here, she seemed upset before they left the forest where Artemis was trapped.
"Yes, I got angry at her for not letting us see what is outside the forest unless she wanted us to do something for her. I told her that I never wished to speak to her again but I didn’t mean it. I was just curious about the outside world and then you showed up so I thought I should go with you to see what your world was like," Aurora said.
She continued to say, "Had I ignored Esmeralda’s wish, you and I would have still fallen in love when you came to visit the forest and this big mess with the Hamiltons wouldn’t have happened. However, I am starting to believe I was meant to go to Esmeralda. I was meant to save the souls trapped in that home but I missed up and became trapped."
