Kaiden
“Hey baby.” Aurora whispered softly in my cars. My eyes tore open staring into her beautiful face. She was in a short floral gown, sitting on the edge of my bed with a playful look on her face.
“Aurora?” I asked in confusion. She wasn’t supposed to be here. She was dead. I saw her burn to ashes. Was this another dream?
“Yes, baby.” She responded ruffling my hair as she lied into the bed, leaning into my chest. I chuckled bitterly, shaking her thoughts out of mind.
“You’re not real.” I uttered in a sour expression, pushing her off my body.
She yelped, falling off the bed with a loud thud. “Kaiden!” She snapped angrily, massaging her back with a pained expression on her face.
“You’re not real.” I repeated again more firmly, shutting my eyes. I fluttered my eyes and she was still there, on the floor.
“I’m still here, right?” She said sarcastically, scrambling to her feet. I narrowed my eyes in suspicion without saying a word. I watched her with predatory eyes as she slipped back into bed, swinging her legs on my lower body.
“I miss you, baby.” She confessed, staring into my eyes affectionately. I smiled sadly in response. Those were the exact words I needed to tell her.
“Why do you keep tormenting me, love?” My voice was low in pain. I chuckled darkly, wrapping my arms around her waist. It was just a dream, yet I wanted nothing more than to stay like this forever. Dreaming about her was my mind’s way of running away from reality. I wanted her back so much. I missed her everyday.
“I miss you too, love.” I choked out, stroking her hair lightly.
“Then why haven’t you come to visit me?” She responded with a pout, tilting her head to stare at me.
“I wish I could, love but I can’t die.” I admitted gloomy.
“Die? You wish to die, and leave me?” She asked with an intense gaze. “Come to Dark Coast, baby.” She announced hastily, staring around the room.
“I’ll be waiting, Kaiden.” She added, slipping out of the bed before I could process everything, she was gone in thin air.
“Aurora.” I screamed, jerking up from the bed aggressively. I exhaled, shaking my head, and wiping the sweats off my face.
I walked over the the bathroom, shredding my clothes and getting under the shower. The cold water dripped on my body as I recollected the events of the dream. Dark Coast.
Dark Coast was the witches territory, and couldn’t be easily penetrated by just anyone. There was no way she would be there. Aurora was dead and has been for three years. It’s been three years of torment, searching for ways to end my life and failing woefully.
Keira became the queen of the entire werewolves just as she wanted, and Ryker was ruling beside her. Ryker lost his memories, or should I say had his memories manipulated. He didn’t remember anything about what happened, and believed Keira was his true love.
I sighed deeply, walking out of the bathroom and drying my body. My life has been nothing more than hell for years. Each day I had to pass through excruciating pain by the curse Keira, and her evil witches casted on me. I stayed in Narthom, a small city where humans reside, away from all the drama.
“Kaiden!” A loud bang on the door snapped me away from the door. I wore a short, storming over the door.

Chapter 128
“What do you want, Ariel?” I growled swinging the door open. She shook her head in response, brushing past me and walking into the apartment.
“Good day, Uncle.” Her son said in small voice, tugging on my hand. I sighed, pulling him and shutting the door behind me.
“You need to go out more, Kaiden.” Ariel remarked, sitting on the couch.
“And you need to care about your son more better.” I said sarcastically, pushing him forward to her. Daren was the replica of Ryker.
“Why are you here?” I repeated, sitting on the other end of the sofa lazily.
“Needed to be sure you’re not dead yet.” She admitted honestly. I chuckled, throwing my head back.
She knew I was searching for a way to end this immortality, and didn’t support it. Contrary to the plans of getting revenge. I wanted nothing more than to die peacefully and join Aurora. Ariel stopped plotting against after she gave birth to Daren, and learning that Ryker lost his memories.
“Sadly, I’m not dead.” I said sardonically, opening my eyes.
“Do you still have those nightmares?” She asked in concern, staring at my redden eyes. The nightmares began after Aurora dead.
“Does she still talk to you in the dreams?” She pressed but I remained silent.
It wasn’t the first time I was dreaming about her, neither was it the first time she was mentioning a random place. That was the reason I was in Narthom. She said to come here two years, and I did, obeying her commands.
“She wants me to come to Dark Coast.” I revealed with a straight face.
“Dark Coast?” She screamed in disapproval. “You don’t plan on going right?” She enquired with a burning gaze.
“It’s the witches biggest territory.” I responded in an unreadable expression.
“And can’t be found by just anyone.” She added, shooting me a pointed look.
I nodded, adjusting my head. “I know that which is why I’m sitting this one out.”
She spent the remaining hours lecturing me about how dangerous it was to embark on the journey. I inhale deeply when she left the building at dawn.
I stared at my car keys intensely in deep thoughts. It may not be such a bad idea to discover the position of the Dark Coast. If I could find them then I can end this curse for good.
I grabbed the car keys tightly and storming out of the room. I sat in the passengers seat, sending a text to Ariel.
“I’m coming, Aurora.”I said to myself, starting the car’s engine.
