*~Leon’s POV~*
I instantly followed her to her room, but she had already locked the door. I banged on it furiously.
"Aurora, or whoever you are, come out here! Open this damn door and face me!" I growled, but there was no response.
"I said open this door, or I’ll break it into tiny pieces! Who are you?"
"Leave me alone, Leon! I’ll call for help... I mean it!" she shouted from inside.
"If you really think I’ll let you come here and deceive every one of us, then you’re highly mistaken," I snarled. "I know you’re not Aurora. I should’ve guessed when you lied, when you testified falsely before the council. But I was too stupid to see it then. Now I know— and there’s no escape for you. Who are you really?"
Silence.
"Fine," I muttered, pulling back my arm to smash the door open— but just then, she unlocked it herself.
Then... then... then...
I saw her lips curl into a smirk. Her eyes changed color completely, glowing with something unnatural. Her red hair was starting to lose its shape reddish colour.
"Well, your vision is fading," I said softly.
"My vision?" She muttered in confusion.
She suddenly grabbed me, dragged me inside, and locked the door behind her.
Before my eyes, Aurora completely transformed. Her hair turned stark white, her skin grew pale, and my breath hitched.
This wasn’t Aurora. This was a demon.
"Oh, damn it," I hissed. "This is a bloody demon. Aurora is still out there— all this time, it’s been you with us."
"Surprised?" she purred.
"Where is Aurora?" I growled unable to keep my wolf contained. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Oh, she’s still at Decresh," she replied lazily. "Living her life as she’s meant to."
Living her life? The thought of Aurora still with Darius—possibly... No. No, no, no. I shook my head.
"You dared come to the High House pretending to be Aurora. You really have balls," I growled.
"Mhm," she chuckled. "I know. But who’s going to believe you? Only you know the truth, and that’s not enough to bring me down."
"You’re surrounded by powerful wolves," I warned. "If you think you’ll make it out alive, you’re wrong. You’re standing in front of the Beta of this pack."
"Blah, blah, blah," she said, rolling her eyes. "I’m a demon. I can kill you before you even move an inch."
"I’d love for you to try."
My wolf was already raging inside me. I extended my claws, feeling my fangs sharpen as the animal’s power began to take over.
"Looks like your little wolf is getting hungry," she teased. "He’s ready to tear my head off."
I pounced.
In an instant, she vanished— then reappeared behind me and tapped my shoulder. When I turned, she punched me hard across the face, and blood gushed from my nose.
"Phew. That was smooth," she said mockingly.
I lunged again, but she disappeared once more, striking me from behind.
"You’re not fast enough, wolf."
That was it. I lost control completely— and shifted into my wolf form.
If I’m not fast in my human form, then my wolf form will be powerful enough. I pounced at her, slashing through the air, and my claws caught a handful of her hair. She let out a sharp cry of pain, and I took the chance to slam my fist into her stomach, sending her stumbling backward to the floor.
She got up immediately, but I didn’t give her a chance to recover. I lunged at her again, flying toward her with all the force I had— but this time, she drew out her claws and slashed across my stomach.
