CHAPTER 56
A second dance?
Aurora didn’t know how to respond to this. Nor did she see this coming
“Why do you want to get back with me anyway? And what aboukhloe?” Aurora asked.
Damien frowned, “What about her? I am talking about us.”
“Isn’t she the love of your life?” Aurora questioned, “You only married me because I am your mate. Your heart was with Chloe. I thought you were going to marry her right after I was gone.But why didn’t you do it?”
The furrow between Damien’s brows grew deeper.
“Nonsense. Who told you that Chloe is the love of my life?” he asked
Everyone, Aurora said.
Hellen and Paul never stopped telling her how much she didn’t deserve Damien ever since they were married.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
And Chloe just loved to show off to her how intimate she and Denien were.
Back when she was Damien’s Luna, everyone in the packhouse knew that Chloe was the real hostess.
If you weren’t his mate, he would definitely marry me instead. You stole my husband, Aurora!”
These were Chloe’s exact words.
And Damien was nothing but cold and aloof to her, which further confirmed Aurora’s theory-that Damien only married her because of their mate bond.
“They were full of b***ts. These people didn’t know me at all. F**k, maybe I didn’t know myself either.” Damien growled frustratedly, “I thought I loved Chloe. But when you were gone
He trailed off, a regretted look flickering across his eyes.
“When I was gone, you finally realized that you just lost a great housekeeper. Aurora sneered, “Because that is what you really need-A housekeeper, someone who can help you manage the packhouse. Just admit it Damien, you have no feelings
for me whatsoever!”
“I f***g do! I HAVE feelings for you!”
Damien snapped, advancing onto her like an enraged beast.
“If I need a f**g housekeeper, why don’t I just hire a somebody? I have all the money in the world! I want you back because… Because I love you. I have had feelings for you since we were kids. You are the only woman Lever loved this deeply! I am sorry that I treated you coldly in the past but I will make it up for you.”
Aurora felt like the fate just played a big joke on her.
When she was still married to Damien, all she ever wanted was for him to love her back. She was willing to give up anything in life in exchange of Damien’s heart.
It was too late now, however.
Taking in a deep breath, Aurora said in an aloof tone, “I don’t need you to make it up for me because I don’t care anymore. And frankly, I don’t want to be your Luna either. I am a Gamma now. My life has a purpose, and it is a much more thrilling
“God! What will the others think of us! Are we down to the point of selling up? Hellen covered her face and wailed, “All my friends will laugh at us! This family-111E Ravenwood family f**d!”
The living room was filled with John’s panic cries and Hellen’s desperate walls
Paul clenched his fists with a vein popping on his forehead and bellowed, “SITUT UP! Stop crying! Stop yelling! NOW! Let me f**g think about this for a moment!”
Owen looked around his desperate families and let out a sneer, don’t see why you are all freaking out about this. This issue is quite easy to fix.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Hellen looked up from her palms, her eyes red with tears, and asked shakily, “W-What do you mean, son?”
“You all heard the Alpha today. He found out about our tax issue a long time ago. But he never said anything till today. Why?” Owen asked.
Paul rubbed his chin, pondering, “You think Alpha Damien has been cutting us a slack? Because of Chloe?”
Owen nodded, “Exactly. When Chloe was around, Alpha thought of us as families. The tax issue was basically nothing. So what we should do now is to fix our relationship with the Alpha
Hellen twisted her fingers nervously, “But how? Alpha is hot with that freeloader Aurora now. And we have lost Chloe already
She had a moment of regret-Was it too soon to give up on Chloe?
“Who said you need Chloe, mother?” Owen let out a snort, “You heard Alpha Damien’s pep talk today. His mind is on the upcoming war. The person he needs the most right now is not a Luna-but a reliable right hand”
He straightened himself up and added with a confident smile, “Yes. I am talking about me.”
Hellen and Paul exchanged a shocking look as John gasped in disbelief, “YOU! Didn’t you just get kicked out of the patrol team? How are you going to become Alpha Damien’s right hand!”
“They kicked me out because they are jealous of my talent!” Owen snapped, “I need to join Alpha Damien’s army, the one that is currently training with the other packs, the one that will go fight the rogues one day! I will become a general. I will win Alpha Damien’s trust! And I will definitely bring glory back to this family!”
His firm words made Hellen and Paul’s heart leap a beat.
Bring glory back to this family.. This was exactly what they needed right now!
Paul stood up from the couch and said to Owen, “That is my son! Tell me. What do you need to get into Alpha’s army?”
“The army isn’t recruiting new members now. But I bet this rule can be bent if we bribe the right person.”
Owen said with a smile.
“I heard that Ga**a Baron is a very reasonable man. I am sure he will appreciate my talent if I go to him with some money. It will be a small amount to pay compared to our tax bill
Paul gritted his teeth. After pondering for a while, he nodded firmly, “Let’s do it son. I will prepare the money and you can pay G**a Baron a visit tonight!”
“What money? I thought we are broke,” John grumbled.
Hellen wiped away her tears and beamed, “We still have Chloe’s jewelries. And the dowry she has been saving up. Now that
she has become a lowly s**e, she won’t be using that money anymore. We can put it into a good
