Chapter 181
Alpha Calhoun’s gaze registered shock and guilt. “Asena? What are you doing here? Isn’t your graduation next week? Why did you not call me to pick you up from the airport?” He asked all at once.
He felt responsible for her and was remorseful for not having been there. Asena had a blend of excitement and disappointment on her face as she complained.
“You said you would never forget the date when I sent it to you.”
Cal raked his mind, recalling everything vividly. He wrapped his arm around her waist as she sat on his lap. “I read the date. It was the sixteenth.” “No, the sixth,” Asena corrected him, and he felt deeply remorseful.
“I’m so sorry. No wonder I couldn’t reach you this morning. You were already on the plane. I promise, I will make it up to you,” he apologized, then he pinched her cheek playfully.
“You look so pretty,” he said. Asena felt flattered, about to kiss him on the lips when he turned to the side, her lips pressing his cheek.
Aurora coughed dryly, unable to watch or hear anymore. After gaining their attention, she rose to her feet gracefully, her movements exuding elegance. “I should leave now. I will be in my office when you need me.”
“No, wait,” Alpha Cal suddenly said, pushing Asena from his lap. “Go freshen up in your room. I need to finish up here.”
Asena frowned at his remark. Why should she leave him alone with such a gorgeous woman?
“Can’t I wait?”
Alpha Calhoun felt awkward. Deep down, he knew he was in love with Aurora but felt they weren’t meant to be. If they were, they would have met earlier, and he had already made a promise to Asena.
The pack members and everyone were aware. How could he stand to embarrass her by calling it off like Aurora demanded? It was all too much for him.
“Be a good girl and go to your room. I will be right there,” he said honestly. Asena glared at Aurora. They both could not recognize each other. Asena had dyed her hair blonde and grown prettier with time.
Aurora had grown even more stunning. Her green eyes and nerd glasses made Asena more uncomfortable. It was as if Aurora was hiding something because if a nerd could be this good looking, then what would happen if those glasses were removed and her hair loosened?
“Who is she?” Asena asked. The only girl who sent fear into her spines years back was that girl she met at Blair’s birthday party when she clashed with her visit to the pack house with her parents at the time.

When she took interest in the party, her parents had pleaded with Luna Bree to let her stay, but she was so envious of Blair that she poured a drink
on her to ruin her dress.
A strange girl who had also come to the party gave her the chase of her life and even slapped her. Asena’s only consolation was the fact that she met Alpha Calhoun on that same day.
“My bad. Aurora, this is my fiancée Asena. Asena, Aurora, my assistant,” Alpha Calhoun said awkwardly, his lips trembling at the last part.

on it. It was even better that way.
As soon as Asena left, Alpha Cal spoke up. “I hope you understand that Asena would be the Luna soon? She is now a medical doctor and would be of great help to the pack.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Aurora did not hide her sentiments. “I understand quite well, and I know my place.”
For the fact that Alpha Cal prevented Asena from kissing him on the lips, she had hope. Her only trigger would be if she saw a mark on either of
them.
“Good, but I hope that this changes nothing between us,” Alpha Cal said. It sounded to Aurora as if they were having some kind of affair.
“I don’t know what you mean by that, but don’t keep a woman waiting.”
Her words made Alpha Cal uncomfortable, but he lacked the words to express it. When Aurora finished up in the office, she went to see Rene, but on the way, she could hear the gossip.

“Asena is back. It means the pack would have a Luna soon. I was so hoping it would be Aurora.”
“She deserves it. She has to understand that she can’t have the Alpha because she chased out his call girls.”
“But she’s super talented and even helped you out with your training. See how good Rene became too.”
“Whatever, Asena is more important than her and should be the one we focus on.”
By the time Aurora reached Rene’s house, she was completely broken. “Rene, Asena is back. As soon as Alpha Cal marks her, I will be gone.” Her words broke Rene’s heart.
She has grown to love Aurora as a big sister, and life without Aurora felt like falling bricks. Also, Rene was seventeen now. Aurora had celebrated all her birthdays with her and had promised to help train her wolf.
This could not be happening, and there were tears in Rene’s eyes as she equally broke down.
“No, Aurora. You can’t leave. Where would you go?”
Aurora had not revealed her identity to Rene, so the latter was seriously worried about her. If possible, she would want to leave with Aurora, but at this point, Rene felt in her heart to be bold to have a word with Alpha Calhoun.
If his indecisiveness drove Aurora away, Rene knew that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
“Don’t worry about me, Rene. I want you to make good friends. My days are numbered,” Aurora said seriously.
She would wish to take Rene along, but knowing that her parents had a beef with hers, Aurora would have to speak to her parents about it first.
As soon as she opened the door to leave, she bumped into Alpha Cal. He looked upset. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”
