The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1162: Aurora (41)

Why not?

Aurora widened her eyes in disbelief. How could he question that? Is that even something worth asking? Aurora could not believe what she was facing.

This pack the longer she was in this place, the weirder it felt…

But, for now, it didn't matter to her, because as long as Collin and Clarice did it with consent, then it was their business.

For Aurora, Draghar's problem was much more pressing now.

"You have to help me find Draghar," said Aurora, she tried not to stare at Collin's half naked body, especially when they were in the beta's messy room, it felt very strange to be in another man's room.

"Indeed, where is he?" Collin asked while yawning, still looking sleepy because Aurora woke him earlier than his usual time. He clearly was not a morning person.

"He didn't come back last night," Aurora said quickly, her worry evident on her expression.

However, Collin couldn't read the situation and chose the wrong time to throw one of his not- so- funny jokes.

"Maybe he has having fun somewhere else," Collin replied nonchalantly and started to laugh softly, but then his laughter died out as soon as he saw the expression Aurora was showing. "Okay, sorry, I am just kidding," he said hastily before the girl in front of him clawed his face. "Draghar is not as corrupt as I am. I can confirm he is the most loyal man you can get."

Aurora shook her head, she really didn't want to hear Collin raving about such obscure things.

"Tell me where Draghar is, or it will be your last joke," Aurora said firmly, she didn't seem to be playing with her threats, even though she was actually imitating her father when he scolded Kayden for not listening to him.

"Alright, alright…" Collin raised his hands in surrender. "I don't know where he is, but I think I know the places he might go."

"Then take me there," Aurora demanded impatiently.

"Okay," Collin replied casually and was about to leave the room, but Aurora then screamed. "What? What is it?" he asked confusedly, he looked around to find the source that made Aurora react like that.

"Oh my gosh Colin! Wear your cloth!" she cried in annoyance.

And only then did he realize that he was only wearing boxers, but it wasn't an embarrassed face that the beta showed but laughter that echoed in the room.

"Then I will take a shower first, okay, or they will find out right away what I have done in this room last night." Collin then stretched out his hand, about to pinch Aurora's cheek. "You are so adorable."

Only, Aurora moved faster and brushed the hand away. Sometimes, Collin was too easy with his hands and this irritated her. "Do not touch me."

Aurora grumbled incoherently as she stomped her foot out of the room.

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

"You should look for Cole if you want to find Draghar," Collin said as they walked into the forest at the foot of the mountain, where Aurora was attacked.

Actually, that place made Aurora remember the previous bloody events and made her feel bad, but once she found the beauty of the place, she forgot all the bad memories and simply enjoyed the scenery there.

"Oh, I didn't think to look for him earlier," Aurora replied in a dreamy voice, she was a little tired from not sleeping all night. "I was thinking of looking for you first."

"Oh, wow!" Collin rounded his mouth, as if he was flattered by Aurora's casual words. "I am glad that you think of me more than that witch."

Aurora rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Not that I am thinking of you."

Collin laughed, he didn't seem at all concerned about the fact that Draghar had been missing all night.

"Did you have a fight with Draghar after he found out that you have learned about his past?" Collin asked and he guessed right.

"Yeah, sort of," Aurora answered gloomily. "I don't understand why he is mad at me."

Collin sighed when he heard this. "He is actually not mad at you Aurora," Collin said quietly. "He is mad at himself."

Aurora did not understand the sentence. "Why?"

"Despite his attitude which is sometimes rude and looks like he doesn't care, he is actually just a deeply traumatized person. You already know most of the story." Collin recalled some of the events that Draghar had experienced during his life. "His decision to kill the previous Alpha was not an easy one either."

Aurora walked beside the man and stared at him intently, waiting for him to continue the story.

"The previous Alpha planned to give Rose to the Blue River pack, which is the pack that attacked our pack yesterday, as a token to join force together." Collin recalled the incident. "Rose definitely didn't go into detail about this."

Collin then turned his gaze to Aurora and saw the girl nodded. "Yeah, she didn't say anything about it."

Collin nodded. "Well, that's how it is… sometimes there are secrets you don't want to reveal."

"But it's nothing to be ashamed of," Aurora insisted and Collin ruffled her hair until it turned into a bird's nest. "Stop it," she grumbled. This man always touched her without warning. historical

"Even if you say, it's nothing to be ashamed of, but everyone's perspective is different. You didn't experience what they went through, so maybe you can sympathize, but you don't really know how they felt when it happened."

Aurora lowered her head, taking in Collin's words.

"After all, the Alpha of the Blue River pack already has a mate." Collin glanced at Aurora and saw her surprised expression. As he had expected, this girl was too innocent about the outside world. "Now you can imagine what Rose's life would be like there."

"That's why Draghar killed his father?" asked Aurora.

"There are only two choices; he let them take Rose, or he becomes alpha and calls off the deal." Collin shrugged. "And it's clear what choice Draghar made, ever since Gerald, his first brother had the same crazy ideas as his father."

Aurora bit her lip. She couldn't imagine Draghar making such a difficult decision, moreover, back then he didn't have anyone. He was alone and could only rely on himself. How could he survive in such a family?

Draghar's attitude, which had been difficult to trust anyone or seemed so wary of, was understandable.

"Rose wasn't always nice to him, but at least she didn't hurt him and for Draghar at the time, that was a lot of better."

Now, Aurora really wanted to meet Draghar and hug him, tell him that she loved him very much. There's nothing wrong with all of that…

Really… Aurora just wanted to hug him tightly, that's all.

"Hey, don't cry in front of me," Collin said frantically when he saw Aurora started to cry, the girl rubbed her eyes roughly and sobbed softly. "Hey, stop crying, I don't know how to calm a crying girl. You can cry later when you meet Draghar."

However, hearing Draghar's name, Aurora's cried grew louder. She wanted her mate now…

"Hey, hey…" Collin scratched his not- itchy head and looked at Aurora frantically. "Stop crying. You didn't cry yesterday when Rose told you this."

"Yesterday I didn't fight with Draghar," Aurora sobbed. She rubbed her eyes, but the tears wouldn't stop.

"Save your tears until you meet him and after that you can cry until your heart content," said Collin, he then patted Aurora's head and thought that this girl was like a stray kitten. "You can't..."

Just before Collin could finish his sentence, the two of them gasped at the smell of someone they both recognized and in the next second a dangerous growl sounded, coming from the direction of the trees, along with the figure of a black beast charging towards Collin.

The beta who didn't expect the sudden attack didn't have time to dodge and bounced far enough that his body hit a tree.

"Ow! Draghar, calm down dude!" Collin grumbled.

Meanwhile, Aurora who saw the black beast trying to lunge at Collin who had fallen, hurriedly approached him and hugged his neck, not caring about the beast dangerous roared.

Slowly, Aurora could feel that the beast's body shifted, turning to his human skin, who then hugged her back very tightly.

"What happened?" asked Draghar in a worried tone. "What did he do to you to make you cry?"

Aurora shook her head and buried her face in Draghar's neck, hugging him tighter.

"Don't leave me like that," Aurora sobbed. "I am sad that you won't talk to me."

On the other hand, from a considerable distance away, Collin cleaned himself of the dry leaves. "She forced me to look for you, if you ask who made her cry, she's crying because of you."

After shouting those words, Collin hastily ran away, not wanting to get scolded by Draghar for taking Aurora away from the pack house.

"I am sorry," Draghar said softly. "It is my fault…"

Aurora then released herself from Draghar's arms and rubbed her face roughly, until her cheeks turned red, and Draghar pulled her hand away, wiping the tears on her cheeks more gently.

"Please don't cry, seeing you cry like this makes my heart ache," Draghar said very softly. He really meant it.

He didn't think that seeing your mate sad can make your heart feel the same pain...

"I will not act like that again, okay," Draghar coaxed Aurora. "You can ask me anything from now on."
