Claimed by My Bully Alpha (by Anna Kendra) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

I swallowed hard, the weight of her words hitting me all at once. Aurora’s fate would be sealed once she turned eighteen–there was no avoiding it.

I guess it’s not too far off,” I muttered, my fingers tapping nervously on the table. “Aurora’s birthday is just around the corner. It won’t be long before we know the truth.”

Harmona gave me a long look, almost as though she were seeing through me, into my fears and doubts. “Yes, but the truth can be a heavy thing to bear. But an untrained witch can be very dangerous. We need to be prepared for the time she actually gets her powers.”

I stared back at her, my heart beating faster. We were almost out of time, and suddenly, this mess had taken a dramatic turn. It wasn’t just about me and Aurora anymore. It was about the safety of those around her as well.

“Harmona inspected the body, and there were no traces of magic,” Alpha Camden started, his voice steady, but I could hear the tension beneath it. “That leads me to believe only one thing–that Aurora’s mother may have been

a witch.”

Harmona nodded. “That’s right. It’s the only explanation that makes sense. But there’s more,” she said, stepping forward, her eyes narrowing as if recalling something unsettling.

“Now that we have discovered that sigil, it could mean only one thing. Aurora’s family–they’re reaching out to her. They want her.” She paused, letting the weight of those words sink in. “And depending on which family claims her, this could go in any direction. Some witches… Some practice dark magic. Those kinds of witches–well, they can’t be trusted.”

The air in the room shifted. I could feel it, thick with uncertainty. But it was Harmony’s next words that truly made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

“When I examined the corpse further, I found something else about the sigil.” She took a slow, deliberate breath, her voice dropping. “It was burned into his chest by a special iron. And even though it was faint, I could feel it- the trace of darkness still clinging to it.”

I glanced at my father, who sat beside me, his face pale, lips pressed into a tight line. “What does that mean?” I asked, unable to keep the question from spilling out.

Harmona’s gaze flickered to me, then to Alpha Camden, before returning to me. “It means that whatever happened to him, whatever drew that sigil, is connected to something dark. A force that’s still lingering–something I can’t quite pinpoint.” She paused again, her expression darkening. “But it’s not good. And it might be following Aurora

now.”

That dark shadow that Aurora had been talking about! Could it be? That whatever wanted her, was a bearer of darkness?

“So? What now?” My father finally asked, his voice filled with concern. “With Aurora connected to my daughter… what does that mean for everyone?”

Alpha Camden stepped forward, his eyes fierce. “We’ll protect Aurora; she is Caleb’s mate and the future Luna.
