Hated By My Mate Series novel Chapter 54

---- Aurora's POV -----

I spent the next few hours in my room until hunger took over, so I decided to head to the diner cart to see if I could get anything to eat.

I took the moon descendants book with me. It's become an extension to my arm since the day I first read it.

I peaked first out to the corridor, making sure that Wolfgang was locked up in his room as well. When I was sure the coast was clear, I sped walked down the hall and straight out the door to the adjoining cart.

Once I got to the dinning hall, I found that it was semi empty. Well, it was after ten after all. Most of the passengers were locked up in their rooms asleep. Luckily the service went on until eleven so I went over to the buffet and took a bowl of warm soup and a couple of bread.

I looked over and found a lonesome table in the far corner of the cart and sipped on the soup while I brought the book up to my face and continued where I left off.

"That's an interesting book you have there, young lady." A strange male voice suddenly cut my concentration. I looked up from my book and saw a man with dark brow hair and olive eyes standing before my table. He must have been around his late twenties and was very good looking.

He wore a suit with it's tie lose around his neck and a folder tucked under his arm. He didn't smell like a wolf or any supernatural creature so I assumed he was just a human curious about what I was reading.

"Oh, pardon me. I was just passing by and happened to read the tittle on the cover of the book you're reading." He said as he pointed to my hand. "What a peculiar tittle. Descendants of the moon."

"Huh? Oh, yeah. It's fantasy book." I told him not wanting to go into details. The less human knew about us, the safer our kind was.

"Fascinating. Is it about fairies, witches and evil queens?" He asked as he took the seat across from me. I giggled at his comment.

"More like wolves." I said to him as I closed the book.

"Interesting. I'm a cryptozoologist and parapsychologist. I study the supernatural. The name is Wendell." He handed me his card which I took and read it.

"Descendants of the moon. I think I've heard of this book before." I looked up and saw him with my book in his hand. "This is the first of a three series book, actually. Its holder resides in Nome." He said shocking.

"What did you say? The holder of the book?" I asked.

"Yes. The keeper of the book. She is really old. They say she moved there years ago. Her name is Eleanor Epifana Winchester." He said as I sat there in shock.

"Could it be the Eleanor who raised your mother, Aurora?" Rhea said.

"I don't know but I need to find this woman." I said out loud.

"Huh?" Mr. Wendell asked me.

"Um, I'd love to read the other books." I quickly added.

"I'm sure she is not hard to find. Of course, it's the on the opposite direction from where this train is heading." He chuckled. "Where is a young beautiful lady like heading too all by herself anyway?" He asked.

"I didn't like that man. The way he was looking at you. That human..."

"Who happened to give us a great piece of information." I snapped at him. "Until now we didn't even know there were more books that spoke about the descendants of the moon. And this Eleanor person, could be the same one that raised my mother." I growled.

"Still... There's something about him that I don't trust." I turned and glared at him. "Fine. I'll contact Remus and have him look for information on this Eleanor Winchester." He said and I couldn't help the smile that crept on my face.

"Thank you." I said to him and for a moment I saw his eyes soften.

"What?" I asked.

"When you smile, you look so beautiful. I love seeing it." He said to me and my heart suddenly started beating quickly. I could feel the blush that crept on my cheeks. I quickly bowed my head to make my hair cover my face and turned around to speed walk down the corridor.

Before entering the room, I told him to notify me if Remus found anything and locked myself inside as I slid down the door, hugging my knees close to my chest.

"Stupid heart. Don't fall for him again. He used you and broke it."

"But he wants to makes things right Aurora. He wants to gain your forgiveness." Rhea cooed in my mind.

"It's not going to be that simple Rhea. I had to go through so much because he didn't even want me in the first place." I reminded her.

"I know Aurora. I understand." She said to me. "But still, there's a chance, right? He is out mate after all." She tried to convince me.

"Yes. And still, he never doubted in hurting me." I said to her. "He did all this and I had to put up with all his shit and everything I had to go through because of him." I said to her. "I need him to suffer as much as I suffered because of him."
