Chapter 1138: Aurora (17)

Be gentle when he shows you his scars.

It takes more courage to remove one's armour, than to assembly it.

"Don't worry, your mate will only give you one or two advice," Collin said in a relaxed tone, he then faced the hotel receptionist and gave the sweetest smile to the woman in front of him.

And somehow the word 'advice' didn't fit Draghar's personality at all. Aurora felt that it would be more than an 'advice' the three lycans would receive.

Meanwhile, Aurora couldn't understand how Collin could be so flirtatious with the receptionist in front of her.

She knew that the beta was just trying to be friendly, but there was something more in the way he spoke to the receptionist.

Even at this point, Aurora could already feel the huge difference between the people in her pack and Draghar's pack.

Especially when the three lycans gave their opinion about her.

After all, she was their alpha mate, which meant making herself Luna, but why didn't they give her the respect she deserved?

Even though there were members of the pack who didn't like her mother, that didn't mean they would criticize her mother right in front of her father rudely. They really sought to be killed if that's what they do.

And again, it's not like there was someone in her pack who hated her mother. They love her family and respect them as the leader, Aurora knew that for sure.

It was just.. Draghar's pack.. feels disorganized and more brazen.. they didn't know mannerism..

"Come on, we are going to your room now," said Collin, he then threw his arm around Aurora's shoulder lightly, embracing her casually, touching her without her consent.

It wasn't that Aurora didn't like it or that she felt too pure for Collin to touch, but weren't they new to each other? They weren't that close to touching each other...

Or maybe it's just Aurora overthinking this?

================

Collin escorted Aurora to her room and left her there while he got a room right next to Aurora and Draghar's.

But, then Aurora realized this very late. She will be in the same room as Draghar?!

"You guys, do you have to sleep separately? Besides, it would be a waste of money to rent one more room, because I don't think Draghar will let you go tonight either," Collin said in double meaning words.

It was not difficult for Aurora to understand what he really meant.

But, still, imagining that she would sleep with a man was something significant to her.

She never even slept with Kayden again after she felt that her body had changed and was no longer a child, but now..

"Make sure you can tame him well, okay?" Collin winked before he went into his own room and left Aurora there, still pensive.

"Oh, no... what should I do..." Aurora muttered in the quiet corridor.

historical

For a moment, Aurora thought about pretending to be asleep and locking the door, pretending not to hear Draghar's call if he came and wanted to enter the room, but then Aurora felt it wasn't the right thing to do...

After all, by doing so, she might hurt Draghar's feelings..

But, what did Draghar expect from tonight? They would sleep in the same bed together and be so close, just the two of them and there would be no her father to interfere in whatever they would do..

But, how long would she act like this.. wasn't it marked as a form that Draghar wanted her and Aurora wanted the same thing..

================

Draghar only returned after thirty minutes, he had no trouble finding the room because Collin had informed him through mind- link, when Aurora had finished bathing and was now in her pajamas. She wore long- sleeved pajamas, hoping Draghar didn't have any ideas..

"I am going to take a shower first," Draghar said, telling Aurora.

"Oh, I already ordered food for us, because I don't know what you like, so I ordered some food," Aurora informed him, he looked at Draghar who walked into the bathroom with his hoodie still draped over his head, he still covered his face from Aurora.

It seemed that the Alpha still didn't feel comfortable showing the wounds on his body to his mate.

This takes time...

Aurora thought to herself.

"Okay," Draghar replied curtly, then went into the bathroom.

Maybe Aurora didn't notice before, because she was too nervous to think about what would happen next between her and Draghar, but now she could smell the faint smell of blood coming from Draghar.

Aurora's brows furrowed. Was Draghar hurt? She would look into that later after her mate finished bathing...

And not long after, the food Tarsa ordered finally arrived, she couldn't wait to spend her dinner with her mate.

For a while, her nervousness was forgotten as her hunger called out to her.

Luckily, Draghar came out of the bathroom not long after, with only a towel hanging from his slender waist.

Aurora was watching a random broadcast on television, waiting for Draghar so they could have dinner together, but when she saw the man only wearing a towel around his waist and coming out of the bathroom shirtless, Aurora's heart was beating fast. She seemed to freeze in place.

Meanwhile, Draghar seemed to have forgotten that Aurora was there, he walked to his bag which was on the sofa and took a clean shirt from it.

Only then, Aurora can clearly see the wounds that adorn her mate's body.

This time, Aurora was no longer stunned because Draghar came out wearing only a towel, but this time she was stunned to see how many wounds on Draghar's body, especially his back, where Aurora could see dozens of deep claw marks, and was unable to heal by their abilities as a shifter.

How could this happen? And why don't the wounds heal...

This time Aurora thought more deeply about what Draghar said before she agreed to go with him.

'my pack, not like your pack.'
