Chapter 1 001
Aurora's POV
As I stepped into the bathroom, the sweet smell of Jasmine filled the air. The warm light of the candles illuminated the room making my skin feel at peace.
The tender hand of my right handmaid, Elena gently loses the lace of my corset and I watched as the dress fell on the floor revealing my body to the maids.
I climbed into the tub and let the warm water calm my body. I had a long day, today was I and Elijah's sixth wedding anniversary and I had to plan the party.
"My lady, what do you plan on doing tonight?" Elena, my best friend asked as she poured warm rose and milk water on my hair.
After the death of my mother, I had to move in with my Father and step family and that was how I met Elena, she was a maid there and we became friends.
"Did they arrange Elijah's room yet?" I asked in sign language.
I was able to hear but I couldn't speak, I was mute, people of the pack called me dumb and never respected me because of it.
Everyone of my personal maids and guards had to learn sign language to communicate with me but my husband Elijah didn't bother, he just has people interpret it for him.
"No, we weren't able to arrange the room, Alpha Elijah was busy in his room," Elena explained, I forced a smile on my face and nodded my head in understanding.
He was always busy in his room, I knew he was busy with his mistress and it hurt so much. Ever since I got married to Elijah, we haven't consummated our marriage and we have never shared a room.
Time was running out and I needed to keep my place as the Luna of this pack, I had a little respect because of him and I didn't want to return to my family so I needed to consummate our marriage tonight and carry an heir.
"Aurora!! Aurora!!" Elijah yelled as he stepped into the bathroom, "Leave this minute!!" he yelled at everyone. My eyes fell on his body and he was wearing a trouser and a blue robe that wasn't buttoned.
"Where do you think you are going?" He asked Elena as she was about to leave, "Who is going to interpret what this dummy is saying?"
I felt a painful feeling in my chest when I heard him say dummy, his insult isn't new but I kept feeling pain everytime he said something.
"Come out, I'm talking to you and cover up," Elijah looked at me with disgust as those words left his mouth.
I immediately felt self conscious of my body, Elena passed me a cloth, I came out of the tub and used it to wrap around my wet and soapy body.
"Why did you enter my room? You know I hate those flowers, why did you tell them to arrange my room?" Elijah's face reddened with anger, "You always do that nonsense every year."
"You must be angry? I'm sorry, I was just arranging your room so we could spend the night together," I explained feeling guilty and Elena interpreted for him.
The guilt went through the window as I saw Elijah burst into laughter, "You think I would spend the night with you in my room?"
Those words hurt like paper cutting through the flesh but I kept my feeling outside, "You are such an annoying fool, just get ready for the event."
"I'm tired, let's not argue, just get ready for the event," Elena interpreted what I didn't say and I stared in disbelief. She has always done that ever since we were kids.
Elena had learnt sign language because of me, I wasn't always mute but circumstances made me this way and ever since she learnt sign language, she always interpreted what she wanted to the people who didn't understand it.
"Let me warn you," Elijah took threatening step to me and pointed his finger at my face, "Don't you ever step foot into my room again else you will face my wrath, you keep forgetting you were sold to me," Elijah hissed, his shoulder bumped into me and I lose my balance a bit as he walked out of the bathroom.
"My lady, are you okay?" Elena rushed and held me.
Elijah was always this way, he was constantly reminding me that my stepmother had sold me to him in exchange for power for both packs.
"Luna," One of the maids entered the bathroom as I entered the tub.
"How dare you come in here? Can you see that Luna isn't in the mood?" Elena yelled. She wasn't just my friend but was my voice in some situations.
"Luna, I'm sorry, I just wanted to inform you that your sister Indigo is around and has sent you a dress for your wedding anniversary party.
A huge smile made its way to my face as Indigo's name was mentioned. Despite being ill treated at my Father's house and by the pack. Indigo was the only one who treated me right, she didn't allow me to feel the absence of a mother.
"Where is she?" I asked and Elena interpreted.
"She is somewhere around the house, my lady I will drop the clothes in your room," The maid said, I nodded my head and with my permission, she left to my room.
"Hurry, I must go see Indigo, this is the first time in a long time she is coming to my house," I said out of excitement. My heart was so happy to see her.
"Sure, my lady," Elena laughed lightly. She called the other maid inside the room to pamper my body and my hair.
When I came out of the bathtub, I didn't wait for them to dry my body, I wrapped the cloth around my body and ran to the room. I desperately wanted to put on the dress Indigo had sent to me and go see her.
"My lady, your family and relatives have arrived," One of the guards announced. The guests were already coming. I should hurry up to the ballroom so I could welcome them.
I dressed up in the blue and white dress Indigo had gotten for me, they adorned me with jewelry and the maids did my makeup so I would look the finest in the room.
"Alpha Elijah wouldn't dare take his eyes off you tonight," one of the maids said and it made me blush.
"Thank you," I smiled at her, "Let's go check for Indigo," I said to Elena through the mirror.
"Y'all can retire to your different duties!!!" Elena announced and we left my room.
I didn't want anyone to look for her, I wanted to give her a surprise. After checking everywhere including the ballroom, my room and all the places she could have gone, I didn't see her.
I wondered where she could have gone, "My lady, let's just go and welcome the guest, we will see her at the party," Elena said and I nodded my head in disappointment.
I knew I was going to see her so I would just wait until I do. I was going downstairs when I heard a noise coming from Alpha Elijah's room.
I had a feeling he was with another woman but today of all days. Did he really hate me that much?
I was hurt but I had to pretend like I didn't know for my marriage to be kept. Alpha Elijah's room door was slightly opened so I had asked Elena to close the door but she stood Frozen, her mouth hanging open as her eyes widened.
I touched her shoulder and she hurriedly shut the door. That was suspicious and her reaction was like she had seen a ghost.
"My lady we should go greet the guest," Sweat foam on Elena's forehead and I could tell the smile on her face was forced.
"Move away from the door," I expressed myself with a straight face so she could understand I wasn't in the mood for play.
Elena shut her eyes tight and gave me a way to see for myself.
I opened the door and the sight before me almost made me throw up,
I felt weak in the knees as my head could only voice her name, "Indigo?"
NOTE: The Luna Aurora didn't speak, she is mute so she uses sign language to communicate with people. She can hear and understand what everyone is saying, she can also read their lips but she can't utter a single word.
