Aurora’s P.O.V

“You don’t have to show me around.” I told Caleb, as we walked side by side down the main hallway. “I mean…we could just go back to my room band /byou can catch a break?”

As per his parent’s ‘suggestion‘, Caleb was taking me around on a tour of the pack house, but if I was being honest, I just wanted to lie down and rest. My mind was full of the new information that I had received during the lunch conversation with Caleb’s parents and I needed time to digest all of that.

It wasn’t easy to just wake up one day and be told that not only were the creatures of the dark a reality, but that I was now ‘bound to one by ba /bGoddess herself.

It should’ve been like the fairytale that I had always wanted…but it wasn’t. Because I was afraid that once I opened my eyes, all this would have been a dream and my life would just go back to being a never–ending nightmare.

“Not yet, I have a ce to show you,” Caleb spoke softly, guiding me towards the back of the house and into the elevator that led to the ground floor. “T think you’ll like it.”

I didn’t say anything; just let him take the lead.

Even if it was all a dream, standing next to Caleb feltforting. I didn’t want to wake up from this bdream/b, ever. The closeness of our bodies inside the tiny elevator made tingles shoot up my arm. But still, I moved away from him out of habit. The habit that had formed over thest four years in high school where I had avoided confrontation of any kind with every single person just so I didn’t get bullied. It hadn’t helped me in the end, but defence mechanism seemed ingrained into every cell in my body.

We stepped out of the elevator and Caleb began leading me outside the building and into the backyard gardens. The trimmed bushes and exotic flowers here made it obvious that Caleb came from a family with loads bof /bmoney. The gardens bordered the woods outside and I knew for a fact that on the other side of the woods was the ocean. The sun rays hit the gardens just right to allow the growth bof /bsuch exotic flowers that I couldn’t even name, but bit /bwas an amazing sight for sore eyes.

But when Caleb didn’t stop at the gardens and began leading me to the woods, I looked up at him with a frown. “This looks like the perfect scenario for murder.”

Instead of getting offended, Calebughed out loud, shaking his head as he looked at me with mischief in his eyes. “bI /bpromise…it’ll all be over very soon.”

I guess he did have a sense of humor…although I wasn’t entirely sure he was joking or not. But still, I followed him to wherever he was taking me, walking ba /bstep behind him so I could run if I had to…not that I would get very ifar /ion human feet.

The woods were filled with pine and oak trees that reached for the sky. But even though they were tall trees that blocked out most of the bsun/b–rays, the woods were still surprisingly bright. However, after a few minutes of walking in silence behind Caleb, I found out just where he wanted to take meb…/band the ce left me breathless.

A small pond stood in the middle of the woods, surrounded by tall trees on all sides, and at the edge of the pond was a gazebo, made purely out of white marble. It was a small areab, /bwith a sitting bspace /bthat could hardly hold three to four people. Even the gazebo wasn’t all thatrge in size, but what had me mesmerized was the view of the pond behind the gazebo…and the beautiful lotus blossoms.

Pink and white, the flowers shot out of the water to open its petals to the world and they were surrounded by numerousrge petals that looked could serve as umbres in the rain. The flowers didn’t have much of a fragrance but the pine and oak had plenty that it filled bthe /bbair /bbwith /bits bsweet/b, lingering fragrance as the wind blew through the leaves.

“It’s beautiful.” I whispered, looking up at Caleb to find him studying me with a small smile on his face.

“Would you like to see inside?” He held out his hand for me.
