Aurora and the werewolf

21.

"I want to see my family Enzo, it been more than a year," Aurora said with her eyes down watching the rose he picked for her.

"I know you missed them Aurora, but I don't want to lose you." He held her hand and trying to explain himself, "Do you remember the last time you were with them? they tried to sell you to an old man and I can't risk it." She could feel how angry he was, "But Enzo, it's not a solution I want to see them again to tell them I'm alive," she paused "My mother and brothers tried to protect me from him, and you know that." Now Enzo can feel her anger, he knows she is right and he also knows how much she loves her family and how many times she cried at night in his arms remembering them.

"I can't do it anymore Enzo if you want me completely in your life please let me meet with them again," She paused "I know no one will hurt me with you around, I am right?" She asked, he looked at her and he was still holding her hand "Of course Aurora, no one can touch a hair from you and you know that." She could feel his hands tenses a bit around her fingers.

A small smile appeared on her lips "I know that Enzo, I know." She nodded at him, "But this can't be my life anymore, I need my mother and my brothers in my life, " she paused "If you want me to stay and have me by your side, then you have to decide." 

Aurora put the white rose in his hands and started walking toward the castle again, he just watched her walk away and he felt a pain in his heart, "Just seeing her walking away from me to her room made my heart hurts, how it will be if she leaves me completely?" this thought comes and goes in his mind, he started thinking of it and take it seriously.

"This brown dress will look gorgeous on you, " Maria said as her maid helped Aurora getting dressed, "I liked it too, " Aurora smiled at her, "You look beautiful." Lya said to her with a shy smile, "You too Lya, I love your white dress." She said and lightly pinch her cheek.
"Is it far away from here?" Aurora asked, "I guess not, it's in the town." Maria answered.
Aurora looked at herself in the mirror she really liked her dress, "Thank you, Maria, you've helped me a lot." Aurora smiled.
"You are welcome dear, now you are one of us, " she paused "Let's go Lya, and let Aurora get ready." They both walked out of her room.

Enzo saw her walking toward him, he was standing at the end of the hallway waiting for her "She looks breathtaking" he mumbled, the way she was walking towards him and the small smile on the corner of her mouth with that beautiful long golden hair moving around her shoulder.

"You look perfect Aurora." He held her hand and blow it a kiss, "Thank you." She simple answered he know that she was still mad at him and want him to solve everything out.

"Your majesty, the King and the Queen are now in the first carriage and they are waiting for you." Peter said, "is my carriage ready?" Enzo asked him, "Yes sure." He answered, they walked toward the gates, and Enzo was holding her hand all of the time "Here you go." He helped her claim it and then he sits near her.

"Can I ask you a question?" Aurora said out of the blue, "Sure you can love." He looked at her with a smile, "Well" She paused "I understand that your family is the royals, but they are the royals of the werewolves packs right?" He liked that she is asking him about his family and their legacy.

"Yes we are, and all the packs know that but if you're asking if the humans know about us then the answer is no, we are not open about that." he paused "But everyone in North Ireland knows my father as a nobleman and rich man but for the werewolves, they have known him as their king." He looked at her and saw how interested she was in hearing him.

"But it's okay to marry a human?" She asked shyly, "For the royals, it was not legal until my father one day decided to marry my mother, and he fights everyone for her." She smiled, "They deserve it." She said, "It will not be a problem for us you know" Enzo smirked trying to make her laugh.

He could see a small smile on her mouth, "Maybe." She said, "Yes, we will see." He laughed with her, everyone greeted them with respect, his father was walking in the foreground with his mother on his side and Maria with her daughter behind them, and then Enzo with Aurora.

Everyone was looking at us questioningly, they could feel the questioning looks when they saw Enzo holding Aurora's hand "Everyone is looking at us." She whispered to him, "Yes, they were not expecting to see the prince with someone as beautiful as you." He smiled down at her.

Her cheeks started to blush, Aurora was not familiar with the attention " Are you okay?" He  gripped the chair for her while she sits, "Yes Enzo, thank you" Aurora sit down near him, "They dressed very nicely" Aurora said to my sister Maria, "Yes, that how the bride and the groom wear at our tribe."

"Your highness," Enzo saw the father of the groom greeting his father and then he greeted all of us, "Our brave Prince, we are honored to see you tonight with us" He bent, "Thank you, and congratulations may they have a happy life," He said to him, Aurora nodded at him too.

"Your tribe is friendly," Aurora whispered to him, "Yes, I think they like you, I can see their eyes on you." She smiled at Enzo, "But they can bite too, you know." He winked at her.

Everyone was enjoying the evening it was cozy, Aurora felt more comfortable tonight with Enzo by her side, he offered her to dance with him at one of their music, she didn't know what to do exactly but she tried her best.

Laughter and joy were everywhere, Aurora hadn't laugh like that since a while ago, she almost forgot how to be happy, between all that she felt someone's eyes on her but she could feel it was not Enzo this time.

She looked around but no one was there, "Is that Aurora?" Patrick was standing behind the tree of the forest, he couldn't believe his eyes it was really her! and she looked happy and healthy, he had no clue "what was going on!"
