Fake Smile

Her cheeks hurt from smiling for too long. The corners of her lips fought to fall down to reveal her true self. But she couldn't let that happen, not after realizing that this is what everybody wanted - a kid who would always be happy and playful, not someone who still carried the ghost of her past and didn't even know how to smile for real. She hadn't figured out how to act playful, but had been carrying out the 'happy girl' role pretty well so far. If only she could continue it for a few more days, she might get out of the orphanage and live with a real family. So she kept practicing to fake a smile, all the while hoping that nobody could tell a fake from a genuine smile.

The Bet
"I thought we were going to talk?" I yelled angrily and kicked my shoe across the room. "I'm not talking to you when you're like that. You know where to find me when you've calmed down." She responded without giving me a second glance. "Fine, just forget about it then!" I screamed and kicked the other shoe away. I slumped down on the couch and flipped on the tv, turning the sound way up as I sat stewing in my own anger, glaring past the tv. I didn't even notice Leah coming back down before she snatched the remote from my hands. "Right, real mature Aurora ." She scowled and turned off the tv. "Hey give that back! I was watching that!" I yelled as I jumped out of the couch to get it back. Leah hid it in her back pocket to keep it away from me. "Oh right because that's real mature." I mocked as I tried to reach around her only to get my hand slapped away. "No way, not before you stop acting like a child." She replied and kept slapping my hands away. "Dammit Leah. Give it back!" I hissed annoyingly as I charged forward, pinning her to the wall. "Now will you give it back?" "No." She said and rolled her eyes. I reached behind her only to be twisted as Leah reversed our positions. "Are you done?" "No." I smirked as I realized some of my anger had gone away by our banter. "Too bad, then you're not getting it back." Leah huffed and pinned me a little harder to the wall. I held her gaze as she looked at me with annoyance. "I'll just wait till your arms get tired then." I teased. "Fuck you Aurora." She sighed and pushed away from me. Leah walked towards the stairs again and before she could reach for the remote I snatched it from her pocket, running away from her. "Hey!"Complete

I like her smile. Maybe....We'll take it from there.Complete
Is it too late to say Sorry?
"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.Complete
Entrapment
"And do you think lying to me again would make me stay." I was taken back by her question. "Lying to you? When did I ever..." "Cut the crap Dylan, I saw you. That night in your office. I saw the marks..." Taking her hand I placed it against my chest. "It's not what you think. Nothing happened that night believe me." "And why should I?" "What?" ***** "You are wrong. I don't feel anything about her. She is nothing compared to you." ***** "Dylan," she removed herself from me, "I don't think I can take all this emotional roller coaster ride. Before sure I admit I was struggling to make means end but my heart didn't endure this much pain when I'm with you." What is she saying? "What are you telling me?" Taking her hand she removed the ring from her fingers, "I can't marry you, I'm sorry."Complete

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.Complete
