Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Sarah looked at her grieving daughter for a while before collecting the documents that fell to the ground. She walked closer to Aurora and sat her on the bed.

"Aurora, you need to read this. Don't just glance through. I need you to read it. I should have shown you since the night your father died but…I wanted a perfect image of your father in your heart," Sarah said as she handed her the documents.

Aurora looked at her mother but she shook her head and beckon on her to read the documents.

"I will be waiting outside the door. Just call me when you need me. I regret my actions," Sarah said as she tried to stop her tears.

"Mother…what are you talking about?," Aurora grabbed her mother.

"Just read it, Aurora. You will find all the answers to your questions and probably…you would know how much you hurt someone ," Aurora's mother said as she left the room.

**************

Aurora stared at the door which her mother walked through for a while. What truth was she talking about and who the hell did she hurt? She couldn't help but ask herself.

She glanced down at the file and was hesitant to open it. What could be inside? Could it be what killed her father?

"Just open it Aurora, you can't keep guessing when you can actually read it to know" Aliya said, making Aurora sigh. She ran her hand through the file and slowly, she opened the documents her mother gave her.

She was still wondering what was inside without reading it yet. What's so important that her mother was crying? What had she done that she regretted? She asked.

"You cannot know until you read" Aliya replied. Aurora sighed dejectedly. Maybe she should read. Like Aliya said, she cannot know until she reads the document.

The first page of the document got Aurora's heart beating fast. She slowly flipped through the pages of the document as each page got her heart pounding and…in pain

She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Was this document valid? Was it forged to paint her father black?" She couldn't help but ask herself.

She went through it again and saw that the document was becoming old. Yet, she couldn't take the hit.

Aurora's image of her father had always been a respectable scientist who would do everything to save the world through science.

A perfect husband to her mother and a perfect and caring father to her. He always prioritizes his family over other things.

She still can't believe her father had caused the death of more than three thousand people…all humans who went through his scientific experiment.

Aurora read the three warnings issued to him by the Blood mafias under the authorization of Alpha Jax's Beta, Rufus. But her father had turned blind ears to it. The last one was issued two months before his assassination.

Aurora, who looked pale all of a sudden, slumped to the ground as she screamed her lungs out. Sarah, who was at the door, rushed inside to see her daughter in grief.

"Why …father...Why….I trusted you! I thought you were wronged! All these while I harboured ill feelings towards your murderers not knowing you were a fucking murderer!", Aurora sobbed as she squatted down.

"Aurora…please take it easy on yourself. You are pregnant…don't stress yourself", Sarah tried to advise her daughter.

"He is a fucking psycho, mom! My father is a fucking killer! I hated the man I loved because of a fucking killer! A greedy man who all he thinks about is money and more money," Aurora kept crying.

Her heart broke into a million pieces and seemed impossible to be repaired. Her own father did so many atrocities because of money. She couldn't believe she became a pickpocket, stealing people's money and things all because she thought the rich failed her family.

She didn't know it was her father who failed them. If she had known, she wouldn't have lived a dirty life stealing from people. It makes her evil as him.

She stared up to her mother who was squatting down and also weeping.

Mom... how? How could he do this to us? To me, to you mother and to Maya? How could he betray us in such a way just because of his love for money" Aurora wailed, tears trickling down her eyes.

She couldn't still believe her eyes. Her own father, a murderer and a betrayal to his own pack. She couldn't believe she's harbouring the thought of killing his mate all because of what her father did. She couldn't believe she tried killing Jax.

She even tried poisoning his tea. If only she did it, he would have been long dead and she would have been the same with her father. A cold blooded murderer.

"Aurora, please stop! You are going to hurt your baby," Sarah tried to raise her up but she continued wailing hard not listening to her.

"Aurora please...

"Mom, let me be…I hate myself! I hate myself so much…I almost killed my mate for my father! I hated him all these while! Mom, did you know I almost poisoned him? I hate myself….I really do hate myself so much", Aurora continued sobbing incessantly.

Aurora couldn't believe she had been wrong all these while. Memories of her last argument kept playing in her mind as she burst into fresh tears.

"You fucking psycho! You killed my father! You took the only man who was by my side!"

"You fucking killed my father! I can't take it that I am carrying the child of my father's killer"

"Don't you fucking touch me! I already hate myself for letting you touch me. Though I have started loving you but I wish I don't…I wish I could only hate you…but I can't stop loving you no matter how hard I tried"

Each word that she said to Jax kept cutting deep into her heart. She accused the man that loves her so much. How could she look into his eyes again?

She claimed she loved him yet she had been the one that hurt him the most. All because of vengeance. A father that had killed so many lives and left so many families broken.

Aurora hated herself for not listening to her mother. She should have talked to Jax when she saw the documents that day at the study.

She should have listened to her explanation. She turned to look around for Jax but couldn't find him.

Or she could have at least read the file. If she did, she wouldn't have been like this.

"Mom, where is Jax?", Aurora asked with a shaking voice.

"Aurora…Jax…he left in a fit of anger. He is very angry that we deceived him," Sarah said with guilt.

"We…?", Aurora asked, confused

"Even though I had a reason for keeping you in the dark, it's not an excuse for what I had caused. I kept the truth away from you. I am partly to be blamed too", her mother responded.

"Mom, even though I don't blame you, that doesn't erase the fact that you shielded the true colors of my father which led to these. I understand you want us to always view him as a perfect man.

If I was in your shoes, I guess I would do the same for my child too. So please, stop blaming yourself", Aurora said as she looked at her sobbing mother.

"Aurora…thank you", Sarah said as she embraced her daughter.

Aurora held her mother too as tears drip down her eyes.

After a while of crying and regretting her actions, Aurora got out of the bed as she put on her shoes. Her mother was looking at her.

"Aurora, where are you going to?," Her mother asked.

"I am going to look for Jax. I can't afford to lose him, Mom, not after learning the truth. He must be hurting badly and I need to see him to apologize for all the wrong I did to him." Aurora said.

"But…you are still under observation. You need to take care of the baby", her mother insisted not wanting her to go. She could harm herself.

"Mom, we have to take care of our baby together… Jax and I. I need to look for him, don't stop me," Aurora said as she kissed her mother before leaving the ward.

Aurora had no idea where to look for Jax but she could ask someone. She needs to see him before he hates her totally.

She needs to apologise.

Forgive me, Jax.

*******************

It's been some days since the welcoming ceremony by the Rufus family. Celine had been a lot livelier after her chat with Aurora. She had learnt to let go of her past. She no longer fear that the alpha might hold her responsible for the crimes of her father.

The love between the two couples had blossomed over time as they grew closer than ever. Celine had removed all boundaries between them except that she was still unwilling to share a bed with him.

Rufus understood her and gave her time to adjust to her feelings. He had been so preoccupied these days due to the heap of workload he had to manage as the alpha prefer to spend time with his pregnant wife. His mind drifted back to Celine and wondered if they would also have their own child.

He sighed as he looked at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed. He had to use the couch since she still hasn't given him the green light. He went up to her and gave her a light peck on her lips but he became lost in the sweetness of her lips that he lingered longer.

It took him a lot of self restraint to part his lips before closing the door behind him.

Celine woke up feeling refreshed. She touched her lips and felt as though someone kissed her. Maybe she was dreaming.

She got up to freshen up as she thought about surprising Rufus with his favorite delicacy as his mother had taught her.

After her bath, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Rufus. The servants wanted to help her but she refused. She was humming loudly to herself when a hand grabbed her from behind. She almost screamed but suddenly smelt his fragrance.

"Gosh! You almost gave me a heart attack, Rufus", She said as she turned to face him.

"Don't worry, your heart belongs to me alone. No one can attack it without my permission", Rufus said, drawing closer to sniff her.

"Hey, we are in the kitchen…", she tried to push him off.

"What about the bedroom? Am I allowed?", Rufus continued sniffing her.

"I want to prepare breakfast for you…", she said as her face turned red from embarrassment.

"But I want you for breakfast….", Rufus said as he couldn't control himself anymore. He really wants to kiss those lips.

"Hey! Stop talking dirty! There are others in the mansion", Celine said as she finally pushed him away.

Then she asked," Aren't you supposed to be at the office?".

"Yes but I seem to have forgotten a file. I don't know where I kept it", Rufus said, scratching his head.

Rufus had always been a meticulous person but since he came back with Celine, she had messed up his mind. He kept thinking about her every minute.

But for this case, he only lied so that he could lure Celine back to the bedroom. He really wants to touch her. He missed her so much.

"Oh…okay. Perhaps I can help? Where did you keep it?", Celine asked.

"I was reading it when I came back from work yesterday. Perhaps, I left it in the bedroom but I can't seem to find it…and it's a very important file. I don't know why I am careless these days", Rufus said, scratching his head and looking down. He really wasn't good at lying.

"Oh…let's go then. I can help you find it while the servants prepare the breakfast. Maybe I will cook for you some other time," Celine replied, calling a servant to give them instructions.

"Perfect…", Rufus grinned. His plan was in motion.

Celine looked at Rufus as she wondered why he was grinning. She told the servants what to do before going to the bedroom with Rufus.

If only she knew Rufus' plan for her, maybe she would have insisted on preparing the breakfast instead while he looks for his file himself.

Immediately they got to the bedroom, Rufus couldn't hold himself anymore as he grabbed Celine's face, plunging into a deep kiss. His tongue moved all over her mouth as he sucked it.

Celine had wanted to push him off but she felt weak between her knees. She reflexively held his face and responded to the kiss. He tasted sweet in her mouth, she couldn't get enough of his taste.

Rufus knew he had finally gotten her as he grabbed her butt, raising her towards him. His hands began caressing every inch of her body. Celine let out a muffled moan as his hands squeezed her butt hard.

Rufus carried her gently to the bed. He slowly unbuttoned her shirt one after the other. Her twin peaks were staring at him. It was so succulent and tempting that he grabbed each one in his hands. He squeezed it gently as his mouth captured her lips again.

Celine was writhing in pleasure as she caressed his muscular body. She felt some scars on his back. He stiffened for some seconds before he continued kissing her again.

She had become so wet that she couldn't wait anymore to take him in.

He stopped kissing her lips and took his tongue down to her boobs, taking in her left one and sucking on it harder and faster, making Celine scream out in pleasure.

"Aaahhh...Rufus..." She screamed his name, driving him crazy. She loved how his name comes out of her mouth. It made him more horny and the wish to devour her filled his eyes. He smiled at her and sucked on a boobs for a while, changing from each side to another till they were all red.

He removed his mouth from her boob and pinched her nipples hard. Celine screamed out loud, she couldn't take it anymore, Rufus was driving her crazy and giving her the pleasure she had never received even in their first night together.

she continued wriggling and moaning out loud, not caring if anyone was listening to them. All she cared about was for him to take her to wonderland. Her pussy was already yearning for him and her walls calling onto him to scratch them.

She kept moaning, urging him to take her already but Rufus wanted to explore every part of her body without rushing things.

He blew cold breath all over her nipples and began licking her naval. He moved further down, licking down his way till he got to her womanhood.
