(Aurora’s pov)
Lily looked at me in surprise, probably not expecting me to ask such a question. Intrigue soon lit her features and her mouth parts to speak.
“Well from what I’ve heard, and I’m only referring to our species. But usually mated couples are the ones who feel the tingles. The racing of the heart can mean anything….” She hums, finger touching her chin as she looks to be thinking.
But her words are already enough to shock me. Mated couples?
A flashback soon occurs in my head and I froze.
“It’s practically impossible for a wolf, much less an Alpha to be mated to any other species than that of their own. Especially to a creature, no one knows what they are. Which makes me wonder….”
“Why you are here.”
He had basically told me but I was too immersed in his touch to even ponder on his words. 1 regretted not asking what he meant. Now I had too many questions in my head.
Questions I was afraid if I summoned the courage to ask would lead me into great trouble with the cold Alpha.

Maybe I was reading into this too much. Maybe he didn’t mean for it to sound like we were mates. When I pondered more on it. I realize I was stupid to even think such a thing was possible.
Why would a powerful Alpha like Xavier Knight ever be mated to someone like me? Especially seeing as no one knew what I was. It’s even more impossible seeing as wolves are only mated t o their kind.
“I’m not sure really. They don’t tell me much as yet seeing as I’m not of age to find my mate.” She sighed looking sad. I wonder why her face was so solemn. I open my mouth to ask her but suddenly the solemn look turns into one of mischief.” But Id o know where that sort of information is.” She gets off the bed excitedly.
She manages to capture my full attention. “Where?” I question, rising to my feet as well.
Lily hops in excitement, clapping her hands.” We have a huge library on the second floor. It’s filled with books, history books of our species. My father liked to collect them. He was such a nerd. Xavier won’t admit it but he was also a nerd. Too bad he doesn’t go in the library anymore.” She said slyly.
Not able to piece the pieces of her look together quickly, I looked at her lost.
She rolls her eyes and sighs heavily. “My brother is drowning in his alpha duties right now. And right now is the perfect time to get out of this confined room. We’ll be quick. You can get the book you want about all those tingle mate bullshit
My eyes widen in shock at her use of language. She giggles.” Don’t look at me like that. I’m not that innocent for a fifteen year old.”
My brows clench together looking at her lost. “But you’re not yet fifteen,” I pointed out.
She husss loudly.” In a few weeks Aurora. In a few weeks. Now, are we just going to bore ourselves by staying here alone for God knows how long? Or are you going to take a little chance and sneak into the library?”
I gnawed on my bottom lip. I wanted to know about the tingles I felt when Xavier touches me. I wanted to know if my inkling was correct. If we were truly mates. But at the expense of what?
If he catches me he’ll definitely punish me. And I was certain the punishment would be worst than that of last night.
Was I really going to go this far as to get out of the room to get the information I needed? Lily notices the unsure look plastered on my face and sighs. “Come on we’ll be in and out of there in no time. It’s not like we’re about to create a poisonous potion that could kill the entire werewolf community. You’re just going to have a tiny look inside the book. Besides, we won’t get caught.” I highly doubt we wouldn’t be seen going to the library. Xavier might have not demanded met o stay in the room before he even left but I was a hundred percent sure that he didn’t want met o step one foot out of the said room. This would push me into a whole lot of trouble with the cold Alpha. And would it really be worth it? 1
I looked at Lily reluctantly, weighing my options which I didn’t have many of. I shook my head, no. The cons seem too grand for me to take a chance on it. What if we were caught? What would happen to me? Lily was his sister, but I was nothing but a
captive. One who should not touch anything I was not supposed to.
Lily groans, head lifting to the ceiling. “Are you an even bigger bore than my brother? Come o n Aurora, you only get to live once so make the most of it!” She urges, grasping my hand. Her eyes snapped to my hand and she looks confused. “What happened to your hand?”
