Aurora’s P.O.V

I woke up to a warmth surrounding me on all sides, my mind refreshed and the cool breeze coming in from the open windowi.

Blinking my eyes open, I looked around my room in a daze as the last vestiges of sleep cleared from my mind.

I hadn’t slept like this in forever. I felt well rested and refreshed and I hadn’t felt like this in…forever. I was loving the sensation of the warmth, until 1 realized…I hadn’t been inside my room when I had fallen asleep.

With eyes wide in surprise, and a little worried, I sat up in bed and looked around my room, trying to remember how I got here in the first place. But the reason became painstrikenly clear in a few.

Conds as my eyes met electric blue ones across the room.

“You’re awake.” Caleb got up from the chair next to the window and made his “How are you feeling? You’ve been asleep for almost twelve hours.”

“Twelve hours?” My eyes almost popped out of my head as I looked at the clock on have been really exhausted.”

“Your body needs rest to heal.” Caleb told me. “But it would be better if you stayed indoors for the time being. I don’t want you to get sick.

My heart skipped a beat at the concern in his voice. I looked up at him once more to find him still standing at the edge of my bed. A little awkward about what I wanted to say to him next…I scooted over to make room for him. When he still didn’t take the seat, I patted the bed next to me, urging him to sit beside me.

Caleb finally took the seat with a soft sigh.

“Caleb…”

“I’m sorry.”

Startled, I looked up into his eyes once again.

His eyes were hazed with uncertainty, as if he was trying to figure out how to express his concerns in words. A bit hesitantly, he reached out to take my hand in his; holding mine gently and then he placed it on his chest, right over his heart.

The warmth of his body seeped through my palm, leaving a tingling sensation all over my arm. I could feel a faint heartbeat through his shirt and it seemed to be faster than any normal human. Then again, he wasn’t exactly human now was he? He was a werewolf and they probably had faster heartbeats. What I did find a bit surprising was that his skin was quite warm as well.

“Can you hear that?” He asked quietly, slowly leaning his face closer to mine.

I vaguely nodded my head, unable to move my gaze from him. My own heart was set on overdrive once again and this time it was more from nervousness than anger as my hand seemed to tingle where he held me. It felt like he could gaze right through me, right down to my soul.

“Every time it beats…it’s for you.”

My breath hitched as I stared into his eyes, trying to figure out what new game he was playing. But there was nothing but sincerity in them. His eyes were filled with hurt, sadness, truth and something else that I couldn’t quite place at the moment.

“I know that I had been a dick to you all this time and I can’t apologize enough for that. I wish I could go back in time and change everything but that’s not possible.” Caleb sighed. “One chance, Aurora…please? It’s all I’m asking for. Just one chance to make it all better. To make up for every single mistake I made in the past. I promise I will make you forget all the hard times. I will fill your life with so much happiness that you’ll forget what being sad even felt like!”

He still didn’t break eye contact, but his eyes/gleamed with unshed tears and my heart clenched at the sight. I quickly averted my eyes and looked down at my lap. Looking at him being vulnerable in front of me made me feel guilty for no reason. No matter what his reasons were, he had still hurt me, a lot. But Caleb also wasn’t a person to use my emotions against me. The mating bond wouldn’t allow him to.

“I don’t know what to say…I…” I swallowed past the lump in my throat. What surprised me was that seeing Caleb in distress was hurting me as well, My

heart felt heavy with emotions I couldn’t name and I think the mating bond that caleb and t had was responsible for some of it.

I shouldn’t have yelled at you… I finally admitted. “I overreacted. I’m *–*

No you didn’t. Caleb cut me off, squeezing my hand reassuringly before he let it go. “You have every right to be upset for something as impor stolen first kiss. If I was in your place then I would’ve done the same. I know a lot of people would think of it as outdated, but our firsts are importan us.

understand what was important to you. So please, tell me what’s in your heart, so I never make such a mistake again.”

I nodded my head slightly, looking up at him in astonishment. Was this really happening? I still couldn’t believe that Caleb was here, apologizing and making me feel butterflies in my stomach just with his sweet words. I never imagined any of this even in my wildest dreams. I felt overwhelmed as I heard Caleb speak and I knew that every single word had been laced with sincerity.

He seemed to visually relax at my words, as a small smile spread over his face.

I was still worried about what would happen if he had to face rejection from his own pack…from his own friends. But I didn’t want to think about those
