"Mother, " Aiden said calling his mother, Emma looked behind her quickly "Aiden? What's wrong?" She asked, his heart was beating fast.
"Nothing mother, I was just calling for you to say that Cillian is here." He said Aiden knew that his mother was sad because she thought that Aurora is home or that they had any news about her.
"Oh, okay son I'll be there," Emma said and went back again to the cow, she sits and starts milking again.
Tears start gathering in her eyes again when she remember Aurora, her beautiful and smart daughter that got lost and never found again.
They had a search for her everywhere, they left nowhere in the country but still no news about her.
"Aiden, where is the mother?" Cillian asked, "Still outside getting the milk, " Aiden said.
"How is she?" Cillian asked, "You can tell brother, she is devastated and you know the reason." Aiden said in a low voice, "Yes I know, we all are" He paused "It's been a year Aiden, it's time to go-" Before he could finish his sentence their mother Emma entered the room "No Cillian we will not give up, I'll find my daughter and I know that she is alive and safe!" Emma said, "I can feel her son, she is alright."
Aiden looked at his older brother and then at his mother, "We will mother, we will." He said and held her hand moving her to the chair, "I brought you some gifts, we went to Egypt this time mother." Cillian said trying to make her smile.
"Thank you, son." She smiled up at him, "Dinner will be ready, I'm waiting for Patrick and your father." Emma said, "I'll do the rest of it mother, just sit and rest." Aiden said.
"I'm lucky to have all of you." she paused "Aiden, Cillian, Patrick, and my baby Aurora." A faint smile appeared on Emma's face.
Aiden and Cillian felt helpless, they just watched their mother sitting there and they couldn't do anything to help her or to find Aurora."Son." King Albert said, "Yes father." Enzo sits properly on his chair.
King Albert walked into Enzo's bedroom "We have a wedding tomorrow night, you could invite Aurora to it too." He smiled, "I'll let her know father." Enzo said, "Great, she could now know more about our legends and clan, " he paused "I could see that you are not happy Lorenzo, is everything okay?" He asked, "I don't know father, things are complicated." Enzo said with a sad face, he couldn't hide it from his father.
"You and Aurora seemed okay together, what happened?" He asked, "Aurora recently knew about me, " Enzo said, "You mean that you are a werewolf?" King Albert asked.
"Yes." Enzo answered, King Albert, smiled at his son with a laugh in the corner of his mouth, "You just remained me of something I nearly have forgotten about." He said, "What?" Enzo asked curiously, "The day your mother knew about me, " He laughed, "My mother didn't know too?" Enzo smiled.
"Yes she was a normal human just like Aurora, and a lot of the family disagree with our marriage." The King said, "And why is that?" Enzo asked, "Because as a king they want all of my kids to have werewolf blood in them and to be pure, " he paused " But nothing had stopped us, son, we fight and I won her heart and that made me realize that nothing could stop in front of true love." He said putting a hand on Enzo's shoulder, "She is coming." His father said when he smells her walking towards the room.
"You got it, son." He smiled at him, and then he left the room.
"Your majesty, " Aurora bent when she saw the king walking towards her, "My child, did you like your room?" He asked, "Yes, thank you for the kind reception." She smiled at him."Enzo?" She knocked on his door, "Come in." Enzo answered she saw him standing near his big window.
He didn't turn to see her, "Are you okay Aurora?" He asked coldly, "Yes." Aurora nodded, "I'm fine Enzo."
"We are not staying here for a long time here, don't worry." He paused "We will head home soon, I want you to get ready for tomorrow's night, there is a wedding they want us to attend." Enzo said still not facing Aurora.
"Are you mad at me?" Aurora asked, "I'm not." He answered her coldly "I want to walk down in the garden, do you want to join me?" Enzo asked, and Aurora nodded at him following him downstairs.The garden was huge and it was divided into more than one, the left part was filled with roses and a lot of other kinds of flowers Enzo showed her all of that part.
And the right side had a beautiful waterfall with a green land surrounding it from everywhere, "I loved it here it's peaceful." Aurora said to Enzo, "Yes, It was my favorite place to hide when I was a kid."
As they continue walking in the garden, the more flowers and trees she saw "Is that an orange tree?" She asked with a happy smile on her face, he knew how much she loved oranges.
"Yes." He went near and climb on it, "Enzo be careful please." She said, "Don't worry he does that all the time, " She looked around her and saw Enzo's sister Maria and his mother the Queen.
She smiled at them and bent a little, it was still strange for her to do that"He knows how much I love oranges." Aurora smiled, "Here you go." He gave her a big orange that he peeled carefully, "Thank you Enzo, it looks so good." She smiled at him.
"What are you doing here mother?" He asked, "Getting some fresh air son, and to see our lovely guest." She smiled shyly at them.
"It's amazing here, I really like it," Aurora said, Enzo walked near her and hugged her waist."Now if you excuse us, I want to show her around," Enzo said.
"Wow, and the orange is good too." She laughed, she felt his hand moving to the corner of her mouth as he whips it for her, "Some juice, " He said, Aurora could feel her face turning red and she knew he saw it too.
"You still get shy around me." He smiled, "Yeah, I do." she answered quietly, "Don't be Aurora, you know how much I love you and I won't ever let you go, " he paused "And one day you will come here with me to be the lady of the castle."
"What?" She was still processing his words, "You want me to-" He interrupted her and said," I can't imagine my life without you anymore Aurora, I want you by my side, it's been a year a whole year and I know that you have a feeling for me too." He said, she looked down at her feet there was a lot to tell but she didn't know if it was the right time or not.
"Aurora, " He held her chin with his finger, Aurora looked up at him "Enzo, it's not that easy."
