Chapter 5 No Goodbyes

Aurora’s POV

After our most intense and amazing lovemaking, I am lying in Christian’s arms, while he is caressing my back. Both feeling contented but then I remember what I have to do after this. I have very limited time and its like a bucket of cold water being poured over me.

I immediately get up and Christian looks at me surprised and worried.

“Oh Christian! We forgot to cut the cake…….lets do it first, I I need to wear clothes and you should dress up tooo……”

I was blabbering and I only stop when Christian tugs at my wrist.

I look up into his eyes, and without preamble he starts kissing me again.

Uffff men will be men, though I enjoy kissing him and spending time with him. I have limited time.

I push him and try to look stern while reprimanding him.

“Oh come on Aurora, its going to be my birthday soon, let us start our new life by making love….”

He acts coquettishly and I melt again.

But now is not the time for me to give in, so I try to convince him differently.

“But Christian, Baby…. We have whole night ahead and I desperately want to be the first one to wish you and celebrate your birthday. Wont you fulfill my only wish?”

I ask him innocently and that works.

He begrudgingly stands up and wears his trousers while wrapping just a blanket on me, he brings the cake and sits beside me.

We cut the cake and feed it to each other.

We both are so happy and content that we end up cuddling each other. Kissing and nibbling and enjoying just the solitude and presence of each other.

But in the back of my mind, I know that I soon have to leave everything.

Like Cinderella, I have to run at 12 am sharp.

I notice that it’s already 11.55 pm and I make up my mind.

I gather up all the strength I have and look into his eyes.

“Christian, I have prepared many gifts for you in the box beside the mattress. You have to promise me that you will open it only after 12 am and when no one is around and you won’t blame me for anything.”

I feel his grip tightening around me and my emotions becoming unstable.

Tears slip down my eyes and I crush my lips on his.

He is surprised and it takes a moment for him to reciprocate but we kiss each other furiously and when it’s 12 am, I immediately break the kiss and whisper the last words I always wanted to say out loud.

“I Aurora Rae Jenkins accept Christian Edward Black as my one and only mate.”

I notice the shock in his eyes, but I kiss him lightly, with trembling fingers I caress his face and whisper

“I love you”.

With tears in my eyes, I chant a spell and disappear right in front of his eyes.

Before I could disappear I did see the sadness and hurt flashing in his eyes and also heard his long roar after that.

He is definitely angry and hurt with me now.

But, what could I do?

I reappear at the destination I had decided beforehand.

Not even Mom knows about this location, as I have changed my plans.

I don’t want anyone to come to harm because of me.

I have come to the Dragon Kingdom, I was friends with the Dragon Prince.

Now you all must be thinking about Dragons and witches? Right?

Well, when we were in Grade 5 I had helped Drake to score good marks in the exams by teaching him daily after school time.

It was a stupid bet between the werewolves and the dragon kids.

As I was known to be a human in the school with no origins, the task was given to me.

From then me and Drake have become best of pals till now.

We both are best friends and he is also one of the few people who know about me being a witch.

When I came to know about my soulmate, I knew I will have to run and I asked Drake to help me.

So here I am.

I directly led my portal to the room I will be staying at in the Dragon Palace.

It was a palace made of stones and decorated with crystals, gold and other gemstones.

The palace was named “Krystallos”.

It symbolizes the house of crystals.

Crystal word being derived from the word ‘Krystallos’ meaning coldness drawn together or a kind of ice in Greek.

I sit on the big round bed with pink and golden bedsheets and draperies.

I send a quick not via magic to Drake informing him that I am here and also asking him to not disturb me at all.

I walk to the big, wide balcony looking at the moon.

I feel the events of today (it’s still night and due to mental stress Aurora hasn’t realized it’s past midnight and a new day has started) and Christian’s faces.

I feel tears seeping down my cheeks.

What have I done?

Is it fair to him?

Hell! Its not even fair to me.

After that beautiful moments, I left him all alone in that cave, to feel the happiness of finding his mate and also the pain of losing her.

I left him alone to ponder upon the things all alone.

What if he misunderstands me?

What if he never opens the box I left him?

What if he thinks that I toyed with him?

All the questions keep swirling in my mind.

I accepted him just before leaving, but the bond will always be incomplete until he marks me and accepts me back.

But the acceptance and the half bond will surely refrain me from mating with others.

I can never kiss or love anyone until Christian lets me go.

I have bound myself to Christian forever.

But what’s the use?

He will never know it.

And something tells me that his enmity with witches will forever keep him away from me.

He will never search for me, he will never take me back.

I was meant to suffer this distance from him.

I lay in bed all night thinking about him and crying.

Many times I felt that I should go back but I spell myself to not let me go back.

This is difficult and it’s tearing my heart apart, but I have to stay away from him.

I don’t want to burden his life with my existence.

I don’t know when I pass out, but I do due to excess crying, still clutching the T-shirt that I stole from him.
