Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Bittersweet

Aurora’s POV

The Next Day

After Christian’s confession, he started paying me more attention. He introduced me to his friends; we went to parties and clubs. We also had a beautiful candle light dinner together. I was collecting memories, sweet memories of Christian and me together while at home I was also packing my bags one by one.

That day when he confessed to me, I somehow held the tears that threatened to fall. For as loving and passionate he is now, he is going to be as hurtful and angry then. I just knew it.

I was scared and happy. Scared of his reaction and happy to gain his love and attention. Even if it was for 2 weeks, I was happy. I hoped it would keep me happy for the rest of my life.

We had become comfortable with each other and knew each other well enough.

I would laugh, smile and enjoy when I was with him, but as soon as I reached home, I would pack my bags, keeping my belongings one by one in the bag.

I couldn’t leave a single thing behind, not even a lock of my hair, as it contains my essence and even if I mask my scent, the hair locks that may fall will lose the magic and reveal my identity through my scent as a witch.

Hence, the reason why I always tie my hairs in a bun.

I am about to pack the dresses that Christian bought for me and I feel tears slipping through my eyes.

I was leaving everything behind and going into hiding.

I wasn’t stopping my education, but I will do it in the human world and do it very secretly.

Only Maa can contact me or know how to contact me, but I had cast a spell on her that she wont be able to tell anyone about my whereabouts.

She did agree with it and was also helping me pack.

I pack all bags and teleport it to the house I had decided on, where I will be living now.

I had made all the arrangements and was just counting my days with Christian.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for me to run away from me. He was spoiling me rotten with loads of flowers, chocolates, cakes, ice creams and surprises.

I was the envy of lot many girls and living a life every girl wanted but it really wasn’t true at all.

I was living a lie.

Many a times, I felt like telling Christian everything and just be done with it and face the consequences rather than being lovey dovey with him.

But that selfish side of mine stopped me from doing it.

I would think it’s just a few more days, and later I will have to give it up so why not enjoy it till I can?

And just like that goes my confession plan down in drains.

Days pass away so soon, when you want them to pass slowly.

9 days passed away so soon and I want nothing else than to stop the time right here and right now, so that I can enjoy my last day more and bask in Christian’s love and attention.

I want more time with him.

But the opposite is true with Christian.

He wants his birthday to arrive as soon as possible.

Tonight we have a party in which sharp at 12, Christian will turn 21 and know my true self.

I wished I could just turn myself into a real human or any other species than a witch.

Today I am giving him my full day.

I have already prepared a gift for him, and planned a nice outing for him.

I have also baked a big chocolate cake myself for him.

Because I came to know yesterday that, he has a sweet tooth just like me.

We have so much in common already and I would love to know more and find those things together.

For his gift, I have carved a wolf figurine in a heart and behind that heart I have carved a witch’s magic wand, my wand that is unique in this whole witch clan.

I have always been unique to our clan and I know that my wand is also very unique hence I never take it out and no one knows how it looks.

A witch’s wand is something that is very precious to all the witches.

These wands are always with us just like wolves for werewolves.

These wands materialize into our hands on our 14th birthday.

Most wands are similar to other witches, only the most powerful ones are different and are not replicated.

I plan to give it to him in a box tonight at the party and ask him to open only after 4 am.

After 4 am, because till then he will have calmed down enough and also not throw away my locket.

I placed a black gold chain too, that can be worn with it.

I handcrafted everything for him.

This was my one and only, first and last chance to wish him on his birthday, gift him something and maybe see him.

I should be happy that my soulmate is turning 21 tonight and he will be able to recognize me as his mate.

But what an irony, I can’t even feel happy about this.

I feel bittersweet.

I dread this day a lot.

Usually, I sleep in and laze around but today I am nervous and I dress myself beautifully.

I want him to remember me as a beautiful witch and not some ordinary witch.

I am all set to leave my soulmate.

I plan to give my virginity to him today before 12 am, as a token of my love and also as a memory.

I may or may not get this opportunity again and I cant be with anyone else.

I want him to be first and last and only person to know me intimately.

I want him to know that I loved him a lot.

More than he imagines and I am his, today and always…

Forever.
