Chapter 83

Auren POV

Heavy darkness descended over me. I didn’t know for how long but I opened my eyes to an endless stretch of white. Wait Was I alive? Or was this a place where wolves went after they died? Everything around me was blinding white. It felt like I was in an ocean of endless white color.

I heard a soft chuckle behind me. I whipped my head and found a beautiful woman

She was wearing white robes that seemed to make her float on the cloud. I jumped out of the bed and stared at her, totally mesmerized. “Who are you?” I murmured, as I stifled this urge to go to hey, merge with her forever

She walked to me and cupped my checks. “I’m your mother, Cressida.TM

I gasped as goosebumps crawled on my skin. “My mother?” My breath hitched as shock rippled through me. “But my mother is dead. She died saving her Alpha.”

She tucked a strand of my hair behind my car tenderly “Yes. And this is our home.”

I looked at the endless whiteness. “Am I dead?”

She chuckled. Then she intertwined her fingers with mine and tugged me to walk with her. “You aren’t dead, Auren,” she replied. “But you are on the verge of it. Your body is still deciding whether to live or die.”

I stopped as a tear rolled out of my eye. “I don’t want to die..” I said in a shaky voice.

Cressida laughed sofily. “Why? Aren’t you happy to be with your mother!”

I looked at her again. Her soft face was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away from her. “I want to live with you as well. Can you come back with me?” 1 plead

“No, Auren,” she said. “I can’t. Remember 1 died long back”

“Mother.” I started shaking as emotions surged in my body. Tears rolled out in fat droplets. It was a moment of so much love that I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know how to react, so I just lunged at her and hugged her tightly. “Why did you leave me?” I muttered “Why? Do you know what all I have gone through!”

She let me hold her for as long as I wanted. Only when I stopped crying, did I leave her.

“I’m so sorry, Auren,” she said. “But this is your destiny. You were born to fulfill it.” Saying that, she began fading

“Mother!” I shouted. “Please don’t leave mel”

“I can never leave you, my child,” she said. “Go back and fulfill your destiny. White smoke curled around her. She leaned over and kissed my cheek. “Make me proud, Auren” And the smoke covered her completely.

“Mother!” I tried to clutch her, but all I got was smoke in my hands. I turned to look around as to where she had gone. Inky blackness started merging with the white. “No, No” 1 rasped as I stepped away from it. But it wrapped around my legs and then pulled me into it

Through all the scents of the hospital, 1 sanelled a rich scent of pine and spice. My breath lodged in my throat and without turning my head. I knew it was Lucien

His warm body was pressed against me, his leg draping my thigh possessively, I turned my head, and my heart raced when I found him asleep beside me. His dark eyelashes would flutter sometimes as if he was dreaming. His lips partedslightly as he breathed in deep. He looked exhausted like he hadn’t rested for days..

I didn’t have the heart to wake him up, so I watched him as he slept. As if sensing my gaze on him, he fluttered open his eyes, those dark orbs Jorking onto my gray ones instantly. Heat flared in my heart, but relief flared in his.
