Prologue
It was a rainy and drowsy day when Aurora has woke up in that room, in that manor that was once her home, but now it's nothing but a ...... prison!!!
Alaric was kind enough to give her own room after kidnapping her, and not putting her in their old one when they were lovers, that what Aurora was thinking. She can't stand staying in that castle, she need to go out... to go back to her soulmate, the one who she loves truly!! She needs Lorian now more than she ever did!!!
Her room door has opened it's was Alaric, he watched her with such a caring sight and said: Good morning dear, i was waiting for you to wake up
She yelled at him: get me out of here now!!!!
"You're angry as expected" he said "you have to calm down now"
"How in hell you want me to calm down after you tricked me and kidnapped me!!!" aurora accused him
"Tricked you!! No I saved you"
"Saved me! Plotting with my sister to tricking me and get me here, you called it saving"
"You don't understand how danger you put yourself in"
"No!! It's you who doesn't understand that I don't belong here anymore, I'm so grateful for you for everything you did to me, but were over Alaric, I can't be in this soulmate bond anymore, I don't know even if I can stand being in all this magical power"
"You can't stand being surrounded by my court powerful magic??? This is the reason why you went to the sword's court???"
"This isn't my right place"
"And Lorian's court is???"
"At least he didn't lock me in his house as a doll like you did, he took me in every mission with him!!!"
"You barely can sleep at night because of these nightmares, you want me to take you fight the same monsters who was the reason of it!!"
"your nightmares are worse than mine, you can't even sleep at all sometimes because of it... you think that I don't know the reason that keep away from me at night, your night terrors and beast form changing???, if one of us should be taken away from the battlefield because of some nightmares it's certainly you"
"You don't understand the risk I have to take to protect the peoples of this court which you one of them"
"I don't need protection!! This is the damn thing that you didn't understand at all and Lorian did, he trust my power this is the reason why I went to him and not anyone else"
"Trust your power!! No he's covetous for your power!! The monsters I was trying to protect you from it's not something like the Slyzard or the Kelpie but those bastards who want to use you as a weapon"
"I know this might be hurtful for you Alaric, but Lorian is my soulmate, I love him and I can't live without him"
He approached her and takes her face between his hands and said in such sad way "he's glamouring you Aurora, he's tricking you, he fucking did that because he knew how precious you are to me, the bastard watched you carefully and knew how special you are!!"
She watched him said: I love him and he loves me too!!
Alaric responded her: I love you more than he does
Aurora told him with tearful eyes: too much love can be a poison!! You are a special person to me also Alaric, you're the one who saved me and instead of returning me to that that shitty island you accepted me in your court and in your house, I'm so grateful for you, please don't ruin this gratefulness Alaric please don't ruin it
He let her face and said: once I get rid of that glamouring that he put you under it, you will understand every things

He let her in the room and went to the knight training area he need to go out with the soldiers to the western territories after hearing that some Leshen monsters are attacking the area there.
Before leaving the castle Alaric called for Sylvan to discuss some of the court affairs because he will be absent for a while and just when he was about the leave the manor he found Aurora beside the door waiting for him, he said laughing: what?? Waiting for me to say goodbye darling.
She looked him in the eyes and said: you can't keep me locked up here Alaric, let me say this one thing straight to you, the only reason I'm still here it's because I want to talk with Lilyan, and after that I will leave forever.
Alaric didn't get a little bit chocked even, as he was waiting for that to happen "Are you sure about what you saying???"
Aurora responds "never been sure as that"
He only said one thing: "I'm sorry" and left the manor
Once she tried to follow him she gets blocked with invisible door, he did it, he makes this house a real prison for her, he locked her by force that time, she had nothing to do but yelling and crying, even her power can't break his wall: "Open the door Alaric, open this door, open this fucking door please, open it, I don't want to be here Alaric, I beg you let me leave please!! Open it!! Open this door!!"

No matter how much she yelled, no matter how much she cried, he didn't do anything, he left the manor hours ago he didn't even hear her crying and begging.
While she was there, Aurora heard a very familiar voice
"Sitting on the ground cursing Alaric with tearful eyes, this is for sure the most terrible situation I have seen you in" Sylvan said mocking while sitting beside her.
Aurora Respond him with madness: "if you're going to mocking me after what your friend did, you better go before I rip your nick apart"
"Ooh did your new lover teach you this kind of violence while being in the dragon's court" Sylvan told her laughing "that's broke my heart after I spend 4 hours trying to destroy the walls that Alaric made"
"You did what!!!"
"As you heard, I've destroyed the invisible walls you can go back to your precious high lord"
"Are you sure of that Sylvan?? You're betraying Alaric now"
"Well even though I don't like this man at all, I'm letting a dear friend go to his court, so yeah I'm pretty sure of that"
"What about Alaric, he's going to be super enraged when he will knows about that"
"Are you considering my situation now, how kind of you, but never mind it, after spending years with him, I know very well how to deal with his anger"
"I will never forget that Sylvan, I will appreciate it until the last day of my life"
"No need for that, instead I want you to forgive Alaric, he's not in his right mind for now, and he doesn't know what his doing"
"This is what I was thinking hours ago but not now, hours ago i would forgive him for everything but not now, not after he wanted to lock me here by force, he only thinks I'm certain doll or pet who only need his protection"
"Aurora, you've literally died in his arm in the war, we've all heard your neck broken, if it wasn't for your parents lost magic you've be died now, he watched you being killed by Carolayna and failed to save you, I know this is not a reason for what he did, but I've lost the girl I love once in front of my eyes also, because I couldn't save her and I know how much painful is that, this is why I don't blame him as the others do for being this over protector, he has fucked up for sure for all what he did, but please aurora don't blame him and don't hate him, cause for real he do not deserve all of that"
"I don't know about that, I just don't know, deciding to forgive or not this isn't the right time for that"

Five days passed after the western territories get attacked, Alaric and his soldiers only take five days to defeat the monsters and clean the all area. Even the magic court's peoples are known as the weakest fairies and the harmony seekers, under Alaric ruling they won many unwinnable wars.
Alaric didn't need to go to Aurora's room to know that she escaped, the broken walls, her missing magic power were enough for him to know, he called the maid to ask her: "tell me now, how exactly did she manage to break the walls and go"
"I let her go" that was Sylvan who stand in front of them and respond.
The maid run off the room after she sensed Alaric's rage.
"what did you said right now??" he said slowly, as he's giving Sylvan a chance to change his reply.
"As you heard, I let her go" Sylvan answers him without any fear.
" Are betraying me now Sylvan?? I believe you know the consequences for your acts"
"I'm not betraying you Alaric, I've made an oath by blood and ash that I will stay on your side and serve you no matter what happen and I will always do that, especially at the moment when go dump and do crazy unacceptable things, I've made an oath to taught you right and wrong when you fuck up things, I've made an oath to fix your mistakes as I did now "
"You're thinking that I'm doing a mistake right now!??"
"obviously!!"
"So you want me to let the girl who I love being tricked by a manipulator asshole and do nothing"
"the only one you're lying to now is your self Alaric!!, you're a master in glamouring and you know well that Lorian love her for real and never glamoured her, they are soulmates by the Astrid blessing, you and her were never destined for each other, you have to accept this truth and may the Astrid bless you one day and find your only and true soulmate"
Alaric didn't do anything, he just stare at sylvan for a while without doing or saying a single thing
Sylvan said sarcastically: " staying there without doing anything is more scary than your usual anger, do I have to run for my life right now??? cause you look like you want to rip my neck apart with your bare teeth"
"yes Sylvan , you better go and not show in front of me until tomorrow morning"
"wow, this is a lot less then i expected, I thought I will have to avoid for a month at least"
"Go now!!"
Sylvan left the room and Alaric now is alone, not totally alone he is with her phantom, he doesn't know if he's asleep or awake right now he's used to see her only in his dream, it's the first time he sees her in the morning, only him saw her sylvan was right next to her and didn't even notice her presence, that girl, that ginger girl only smiled to him and disappeared.
