Kiss my lips and give me one of your amazing hugs.

**************

Draghar completely paid no attention to this and forgot about his wounds, for they had stuck to him like his own skin and he had forgotten that they were an unusual sight, for he had had them since the first time he was able to remember.

Was it when he was only five or six or seven… Draghar couldn't tell for sure at all.

Not only because pain had become a very familiar thing to him, but also because he felt that it was the only feeling he had ever felt.

Of course it wasn't until he met Aurora and Draghar began to understand that pain wasn't the only feeling he was supposed to accept. If there was a beautiful feeling like being loved by someone.

It was because of his insensitivity that he didn't realize that Aurora was watching him until he heard her sobbing.

Immediately he became alert and turned around quickly. How shocked Draghar was when he found Aurora was crying so hard that her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

Her face reddened as she couldn't help the sadness she felt, even now that Draghar saw her, she could feel that sadness seeped through the mate bond between them, even though she hadn't marked Aurora yet.

"What is it? What happened?" Draghar was half running when he approached Aurora who was still sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing her face roughly, trying to wipe her tears but to no avail…

Draghar didn't understand what had happened to this girl, when she suddenly hugged him and buried her face against Draghar's shoulder.

The Alpha's heart seemed to stop beating when he felt the sensation of their physical contact. Fear began to creep up on him as he was afraid he would lose control over the beast within him again like last time.

Thus, hesitantly and very stiffly, Draghar patted Aurora's back, hoping the gesture would calm her down.

"What is it? What happened? Are you hurt?" Draghar didn't smell blood from her and he was sure the last time he saw Aurora she was fine.

But luckily, the thing Draghar feared didn't happen. He didn't get out of control. Perhaps it was his fear and also what had almost happened earlier that made him feel more wary of himself.

While with Aurora, he must be able to fully control himself if he did not want to hurt his mate.

On the other hand, it took Aurora a moment to calm down and start talking about the cause of her crying.

Draghar wiped the tears that fell down Aurora's cheeks with his rough hand as gently as possible and waited patiently for Aurora to speak.

But, the answer given by his mate was an answer that Draghar had not expected at all before.

"Where did you get those wounds from?" asked Aurora quietly as she traced her slender fingers across Draghar's skin which was covered with scars, like tattoos drawn on his skin.

Even Aurora had a hard time finding any part of Draghar's body that wasn't scarred, be it minor or major.

The sight hurt her deeply.

Let alone seeing so many wounds on her mate, even Aurora had never seen a lycan with a scar, because their kind would definitely heal completely after some time, no matter how severe the wound was.

Therefore, Aurora couldn't imagine how Draghar's body could be covered with scars?

"Where did you get these scars from?" asked Aurora again because Draghar just stayed silent and looked at her with a look that he couldn't understand. "Who has done it?"

It felt like Aurora wanted to rip and sink her claws into the person who had done this to Draghar. How dare they hurt the man in front of her.

The alpha blood flowing within Aurora didn't like the sight she was seeing and she felt the urge to subdue whoever was giving Draghar a hard time.

"Are you crying because you saw these wounds?" asked Draghar in disbelief.

No one had ever cried for him all this time. Even if there was crying, then it was other people who wanted to make him submit and cry in his own pool of blood.

"Who has done it?" Aurora started crying again. Anger and sadness mixed into one.

Draghar was still deep in his own thoughts, he still couldn't believe the reason Aurora was crying.

"How can the wounds not heal?" asked Aurora again because Draghar still didn't give her a satisfactory answer.

"Oh, Aurora…" Draghar sighed, then leaned over, pressed his forehead against hers. Closed his eyes, enjoying their touch. This was the happiest thing for Draghar in his entire life. "What did I do to deserve you…"

"Because I deserve someone like you," Aurora replied.

Draghar looked down on himself when he said that, but Aurora didn't want her mate to feel that way. They were a couple destined to be together, therefore, it was fitting that they were shoulder to shoulder.

"Now answer me… how come those wounds don't heal?" Aurora then distanced herself and looked back at the wounds on Draghar's chest. There was a large wound that seemed to split his chest, as if the attacker wanted to kill him by taking out his heart.

Just imagining that brought tears to her eyes again, but that didn't mean it made her weak, it just made her feel more like doing the same thing to Draghar's attacker…

With this, it can be well confirmed that there was a brutal part of Torak that he passed on to his daughter.

"Wolfbane," Draghar replied in a stiff voice. He didn't want to say this and make Aurora feel even worse, but from her eyes alone, Draghar knew that his mate would not leave this topic until she got the answer she wanted.

Draghar then pinched Aurora's chin with his index and thumb, and lifted her head so that the girl would stop staring at his wounds.

"I'm fine..." Draghar said. He kissed the tears in the corners of Aurora's eyes.

"I don't know what you've been through, but may I give you a kiss now?"
