*~Aurora’s POV~*
I need a break. A big break away from all of this.
I need my body and my soul to be at rest.
I don’t deserve to live like this—constantly in trouble, constantly fighting battles that never seem to end. At a very young age, I lost my parents, got separated from my sister, and was trained under a rciless witch. I was making life-changing decisions at the age of eight. I joined a pack that never appreciated . And now, to top it off, im a runaway bride.
The only importance of our marriage is to bear a child. That’s all I am to him—a ans to an end.
I don’t deserve this life.
I deserve a life like Hazel’s. Sotis, I’m jealous of her. Yes, she started off with pain and suffering, but now she’s thriving, raising her babies, surrounded by love. But ? I also started off with pain, and sohow, I’m still stuck there. I’ve never had the chance to live—really live. I’m always caught between danger and duty, heartbreak and betrayal.
Am I not ant to have my own happy ending?
Or am I just destined to be the one who always suffers?
No matter how powerful I am, I still can’t seem to fight my own demons. I can’t keep living like this. I just can’t.
After a while, I disappeared from everyone—Leon, Darius, all of them. I climbed up a tree and sat on one of its branches, high above the ground. I stared at the distance between the branch and the earth below.
Should I just... end it?
At least then, my mind and body would finally be at peace.
But no—sowhere deep down, I still want to live. I still want to see more of the world, to laugh, to love, to explore all the things I’ve been denied. There’s still so much I haven’t seen, so much I haven’t felt.
I’m still too young to die. I’m only nineteen.
I deserve to live. I deserve to laugh. I deserve to love.I deserve to be loved.
No, I shouldn’t kill myself.
But what can I do? Because I can’t find peace. There’s no way I can live happily with all these mories haunting . Even if I moved to a new pack, far away from all of this, I’d still carry the pain with . I’d still carry the mories. I’d still be Aurora—the cursed witch who could never rest.
I took a deep breath, grabbed a handful of my hair, and with one swift motion, I cut it off.
The strands fell to the ground, and soon, half my hair was gone. I kept cutting until it was short—short enough to make look almost like a man.
If I’m going to live a new life, I need to change my identity.
Because as long as Darius and Leon still exist, I’ll never truly be free.
Maybe... maybe I should wipe my mories too.
If I forget everything—if I erase it all—then none of this pain will exist anymore. I won’t rember them. I won’t rember the hurt. And if they ever co across , they’ll see that I don’t recognize them. They’ll leave alone. They’ll think I’m soone else.
Yes. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll erase it all.
I jumped down from the tree, looking at the strands of hair scattered across the ground.
I will live as a man. I could travel to another pack, wear n’s clothes, live quietly. Pretend to be normal human.
That idea sounded... peaceful.
I nodded to myself. The next step was to erase my mories.
I touched my head gently, steadying my breath. But first, I needed to decide where I was going. I knelt down and drew symbols in the dirt—markings that pointed to California. I’d heard there was a pack there, a peaceful one. They didn’t accept witches, which was perfect.
I’d live as a normal man, among wolves who would never suspect . That pack was protected—even by white wolf. I’d be safe there.
I placed my hand on my head and took one deep breath.
I rembered everything—every person, every mory that once mattered.
My mother.
My father.
My sister. Hazel.
The triplets... The twins
And.. whether I liked to admit it or not...
Leon.
Then, with tears falling down my cheeks, I whispered, "Goodbye."
"Versa," I said quietly, as I slowly felt all my mories begin to slip away.
They started fading—pieces of my childhood, when my parents died, when my sister went missing, when I t Dahlia and she took in. The mory of the day Dahlia trapped the entire pack in their wolf form. The ti Cayden was the only werewolf still normal, and how I worked with him to bring his pack back.
Then, the mont they brought into the pack. The bullying. The humiliation. The sa wolves I had saved turning against .
I rembered when Hazel ca—and how I proved to everyone that she wasn’t a witch, that she was human. When she got pregnant, and I stood by her side. When I helped her deliver her twins. When those twins went missing.
When Cyrius ca back into our lives—so much chaos, so much pain. When I reunited with my sister after so many years. That one mont of happiness amid the endless storms.
Then ca the mories of Darius—how I first t him, believing he was a helpless witch. How he revealed his true colors. How he took advantage of my kindness and proved why helping strangers was a curse.
Then Leon—when I almost got married, and he ca to save .
And now... here I am, wiping away everything that ever made ... .
One by one, the mories vanished. I wasn’t even sure if the spell I cast would ever let them co back.
I just wanted to get rid of them...All of them.
I pressed my hand against my chest, feeling the weight of everything sink deep into my body. My heart felt heavier with each passing second, and my vision dimd.
"Peace," I whispered to the wind and then, my body gave in, collapsing to the groun
