Aurora was happy that Draghar told her this and she felt that her mate was slowly starting to open up to her.
It was a good thing and a truly reassuring step for Aurora, knowing that their relationship had developed and was on the right path.
It was also because she felt much better after talking to her mother last night, maybe because of that Aurora could understand what Draghar was feeling and see it from a different perspective, it definitely helped her to feel calmer.
Otherwise, Aurora felt that she would spend the night feeling very bad and lost.
But then, Aurora suddenly remembered something and she immediately broke free from Draghar's arms and sat up straight.
"What is it?" Draghar asked, who also sat down and looked around him, thinking if a stranger was interrupting their time or something, but it turned out to be just the two of them there.
"I forgot something, " Aurora muttered in a low voice.
"What did you forget?" Draghar asked worriedly when he saw the crease between Aurora's eyebrows, the girl bit her lip.
"I forgot that today is Knox's first day of school and I promised to drop him off." Aurora had promised the little boy long ago, but because of the unexpected problem with Draghar, she had completely forgotten about it.
Draghar shook his head and sighed, "You scared me for a moment just now."
Aurora then hit Draghar's arm because his mate didn't take this seriously."This is also a serious matter. I have already broken my first promise."
"Don't worry, Knox is very forgiving, he will not be angry with you for long, " Draghar said softly and pulled Aurora back to lie down on the grass, which then her body fell on top of him."You just need to take him to buy his favorite ice cream and he will soon forget about this incident."
"Hey, you can't treat your own brother like that, " Aurora rebuked Draghar, although she didn't deny that the idea of??buying ice cream was a good one, because it seemed she needed it too.
"You can pick him up after school hours, which means we still have plenty of time for the two of us now, " Draghar then hugged Aurora's body and whispered something in her ear."I am in the mood, consent?"
================
"Why is your face red?" Clarice asked as they drove to pick up Knox. Aurora drove the car and asked Clarice to come along.
And Aurora just found out that Draghar much preferred truck- type vehicles like this, so when she drove the modified old car, Aurora didn't seem to fit the big car at all.
"Ah, it's okay, " Aurora stammered a little, as she re-imagined what had happened between her and Draghar in the forest.
Aurora never thought that she would be able to be so brave and do it in the open, but the experience would be an unforgettable moment in her life.
Today, Aurora rolled her hair up on top of her head, forming a bun and showing her slender neck where Draghar's mark could be seen very clearly, as she was only wearing her mate's loose black t-shirt and jeans.
On the other hand, after hearing Aurora's short answer, Clarice didn't ask any further and was silent the whole way, but the girl looked restless and much quieter than before.
It's just that Aurora could understand, maybe Clarice felt uncomfortable because she has caught her with Cole this morning, although it was indeed a surprise, but she didn't plan to interfere or want to discuss the matter, because right now there were other things that filled her mind and soul.
The drive to Knox's school wasn't too far and it only took them ten minutes to get there.
Luckily when Aurora got there, it was time for the school bell and a few minutes later she could see Knox's figure in the crowd of little kids around his age.
"Knox!" called Aurora while waving her arms and seeing the little boy approaching her excitedly.
"Why don't you come with alpha Draghar?" asked Clarice."Judging from the look on your face, it seems you two have made up, " she guessed.
Aurora glanced at Clarice and grinned."Yes... we made up, but Draghar had urgent business at check point one that he couldn't leave and he said he would be back a little later."
Clarice nodded slowly and the conversation was cut short when Knox slipped into Aurora's arms and hugged her neck tightly.
"Clarice drove me to school, since you were nowhere to be found this morning, " he whined.
Aurora then lowered Draghar and wrinkled her face, showing a regretful expression."I am so sorry, but something happened and I have to sort it out first."
Knox still looked sullen and didn't want to look Aurora in the eye.
"How about we eat ice cream before going home?" asked Aurora giving advice which was well received by him.
As Draghar said, the younger brother was very easy to persuade.
================
After buying ice cream and Knox having become even more cheerful, Aurora drove the car back to the pack house, only, before Aurora could park the big vehicle, Clarice started a conversation.
"Can we talk for a minute?" Clarice asked her, when Knox had gotten out of the car.
Aurora looked at the girl next to her and nodded.
"But not here, can you take me somewhere? I feel more comfortable there. It's a beautiful place too, I want to show it to you." Clarice held Aurora's hand as she was about to turn off the car engine.
Although it sounded a little strange, Aurora agreed to this and drove away the car again after waving to Knox and seeing the little boy walking into the pack house.
"What do you want to say?" asked Aurora, backing the car so they could return to the main road.
"Oh, here's Aurora... about what you saw this morning between me and Cole..." Clarice mumbled, she seemed hesitant when she was about to say this."I... the relationship between us..." Clarice stuttered as she was about to start her story.
"No problem, " Aurora said lightly as she waved her hand, indicating that it wasn't something Clarice needed to think about."I am not clear about the relationship between the two of you, but I don't think it's my place to say something."
Hearing that answer, Clarice lowered her head and twisted the hem of her shirt worriedly.
"Thank you, " she mumbled."In this pack, we can have relationships with whomever we want and don't wait for our mates to appear, " Clarice added, providing a bit of information about the blood moon pack.
Aurora frowned, although she had expected something like that, but still she found it difficult to understand it more clearly, because what was here and what Clarice had just told her, were completely different things with the morals that Aurora holds.
It's just that, learning from Draghar's case, it seemed she couldn't see a single problem from her own point of view alone.
"Then, what about Draghar? How many women had he been with before?" asked Aurora, she meant the question as a joke, but it seemed she used the wrong tone.
"You don't have to worry, Draghar has never been with anyone but you. You are the first woman he has ever been close to." Clarice smiled reassuringly the friend beside her.
And they both laughed softly, but after the laughter disappeared, the atmosphere in the car was quiet, until Aurora found a crossroads.
"Where are we going?" she asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Oh, let's turn left and then go straight, " Clarice instructed.
"If you asked me out just because of what happened between you and Cole this morning, I don't think you have anything to worry about now, " Aurora said, glancing at Clarice who still looked unsettled.
"No, I just wanted to show you this place, " Clarice said in a low voice."This place is great."
================
Draghar was having an argument with the leader at check point one over a security issue. This was not unusual, considering the two of them often disagreed on many things.
"Sebastian, I won't repeat my orders again, " Draghar growled very dangerously when he heard he was again throwing tantrums by challenging his orders."Keep at your own post and do your job properly."
Sebastian had tried his best to get Draghar to agree to his crazy plan, which was to unite their pack with the blue river pack on the grounds that if the pack attacked them one more time, no one would be alive in the second attack, considering there were quite a number of members from the first check point that became traitors while most of the others died in the first attack.
But, of course Draghar flatly refused Sebastian's wishes. Joining the Blue River pack was tantamount to delivering his own head.
Gerald was certain to kill him on the spot.
"We have rejoined the pack of supreme alpha Torak, therefore our pack is under his authority as well, " Draghar reiterated this, only that Sebastian was not happy with the information.
"What do you think supreme alpha Torak can do if we get attacked? They are very far from this place and even if they are willing to help, there will only be corpses once they got here, " Sebastian said curtly.
And just at that moment someone knocked on the door and announced that someone wanted to cross the border.
"Who?" Draghar asked.
"Supreme Alpha Thorak and some people from his pack."
