FORBIDDEN MATE

PROLOGUE

AURORA'S POV.

" Hurry up Ella it's not your wedding we're attending but your taking up so much time." I said as I barged into Ella's room.

"Gee you can come in." She said sarcastically. "And why shouldn't I take my time? you never know who you might meet. You know." Ella said as she finished applying her lipstick.

"You talkin' about your mate?" I moved towards her bed and sat on it.

Mates...men pfft!

" 'course not! You and I know that I don't fancy that stuff. What if he's ugly, a villain -or, -or I mean c'mon." Just then she turned to face me. Immediately a look of horror flashed across her face.

"Oh. my . God. Please don't tell me your going dressed like that." She stood up and walked towards me. when I didn't reply, she got the message.
" Oh Rora, don't. Please, just this once? For leti?"
Yep here we go. Knowing were this talk will lead to, I woke up and ran out out of the room. I heard her yell behind me. Knowing Ella, she wouldn't dare chase me not wanting to get all sweaty and ruin her make-up.

How girly.
†******†******†*****†*****†*****†****
Seated in the pack's church, we all rose on our feet on the arrival of the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.

My sister. Leticia lannister. The pastor started the ceremony immediately and I didn't miss the lovey-dovey look Leti and Mark exchanged. Although I must admit I did feel jealous but I couldn't do that. I couldn't 'feel' that.

Loving makes you weak, vulnerable and stupid. And I had to learn that the hard way.

**************†***************†*****

"Mmn.. this tastes wonderful." Ella moaned and closed her eyes as she munched her cake and I couldn't disagree the cake was Divine!.

"I think you should go talk to him. He's been staring at you since when we were at church." I said as I took a sip of wine.

" What? Who?." She turned around and her eyes Locked with his. He immediately turned away.

"Hm. He's a shy one." I commented.

" There you guys are. Sorry I couldn't come earlier. Mark was being so clingy and all. You understand right?."

" Nope." I responded with the 'pop' sound while smiling.

" Aurora, no need to be mean. And yes I do understand."

Ella said as she pushed her now empty saucer aside.

"I'm going to miss you Leti so much." Ella said as a tear rolled down her cheeks.

"I'll miss you all too but no worries, I'll always be within reach." She mumbled as she pulled us into a hug. Just then Mom and dad showed up.

" They grow up real fast." We turned to see Mom fake a sob and laugh.

"Let's take a picture. Aurora go up to my office and bring the camera please." Dad asked.

Nodding my head while smiling I ran to our house which was pretty far away and I had a difficult time finding the camera.

Where is it?!....oh! There it is!. I grabbed the door handle pulling it but it didn't open I tried adding more force but nothing.

Someone was pulling it from outside

"Who's there... listen let go of the door Ella. I'm not finding this funny." I yelled

Bam!

There was a loud bang like an explosion outside.

Explosion...

Mom, dad, Leti, Ella...no!

" Hey open up." Crying now I struggled more trying to pull the door open. But the person still held on. " Please... please let go" I whispered while crying as the maniac outside still held the door.

"Ugh!" I landed on the floor with a thud as the person outside let go of the door I ran immediately and saw a silhouette take a bend down the corridor in the other direction. Under normal circumstances, I would have followed to see who it was but I had to do something more important.

Running with the camera in my hand I don't know why I was still holding it but I did hoping the sound was just an illusion.

No!

Before I could reach the party ground, smoke.. fire.. smell of burning meat...

Human burnt meat...blood running down the grass...groans of pain...agony.. I turned around and stood frozen when I saw the head of Nana our house cook eyes wide open with no body attached to it.

God!

Watery eyes, running nose trembling hands and legs , ringing ears I moved around hoping to see my family...anyone who was alive.

Nothing...no living soul.

Rolling heads, empty eye sockets, detached arms and legs, ripped open stomachs intestines hanging out...it was horrifying. I was nauseated..weak..in pain. I felt my heart break literally.

An ear bursting scream escaped my lips before I was hit hard on the head from behind. Falling to my knees a figure came and stood in front of me and before I could raise my head to look at him or her I black out.
