AuroraBy the following morning Aurora had convinced herself that Ethan’s words no longer mattered. She repeated it silently while getting dressed, again while brushing her hair, and once more as she stood outside her bedroom door with her hand resting on the handle. She had hoped that repeating the words often enough would drown out the uncertainty Ethan had planted in her heart the day before. It didn't.No matter how hard she tried to bury them, they kept resurfacing. One day they’ll find someone who fits into their world. She closed her eyes for a moment before pulling the door open. She refused to let one conversation ruin everything she had found in this house.The scent of breakfast greeted her before she reached the dining room. Warm bread, freshly brewed coffee, and pancakes filled the air. It was comforting in a way she still wasn’t used to. A few weeks ago she couldn’t have imagined waking up somewhere that felt this safe. Now it almost felt like home. Almost.She stepp
Maxwell.Later that night, after Aurora had gone to her room, we decided to brief our parents about our findings. We found them in Dad's study. The moment we stepped inside, Dad seemed to read the seriousness on our faces because he simply gestured for us to sit. Alec didn't waste any time. He walked them through everything that had happened since we'd left the Pack that morning.Aurora returning to her old apartment, Richard's disappearance, the neighbors admitting they hadn't seen him for days, Sophie's memory of the kidnapping, and finally the one detail neither of us had been able to shake. We told them of how Richard had offered Aurora to those men in place of the debt he owed them.When the last words left Alec’s mouth, silence settled over the room. Dad remained seated behind his desk, his fingers loosely linked together as though he were piecing the information into something only he could see. Mom looked shaken. She had been quiet ever since we mentioned Richard was missi
Alec.After waiting for several minutes for Aurora to come back after she took a restroom trip, I decided to keep my eyes on the hallway. By the time Aurora came out of the restroom, I knew something was wrong.She smiled the moment she saw us, but it didn't reach her eyes."There you are," Maxwell said. "We were beginning to think you'd fallen in."She let out a small laugh."I was only gone a few minutes.""Long enough for him to start worrying.""I wasn't worried," I said."You were looking at the door every ten seconds.""I was making sure we weren't late for class."Maxwell snorted. "Sure."Aurora smiled again, but it was forced this time. Her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag before she started walking.I fell into step beside her."You okay?"She looked at me and nodded almost too quickly."I'm fine."Something about the answer didn't sit right with me.Just before she'd walked out, I'd caught sight of someone slipping around the corner at the end of the hallway.E
AuroraI had barely finished washing my hands when I noticed someone standing in the doorway.I froze.Ethan leaned against the frame, his arms folded across his chest.For a moment, I could only stare at him before glancing at the sign on the wall."How did you even get in here?""Well, it's good to see you too," he said dryly."Ethan, you're in the girls' restroom."His mouth curved into a humorless smile. "It was the only way I could see you."I frowned. "What does that mean?""It means you've made yourself very difficult to find.""Ethan.""What? I'm not allowed to talk to you now?""That's not what I said.""You don't have to say it." He gave a bitter laugh. "I can see it."I turned off the tap and reached for a paper towel. "I have classes.""So do I.""And I have somewhere to be.""With them?"I paused.Ethan's eyes hardened. "The twins. That's what this is about, isn't it?""Ethan, I really don't want to have this conversation.""Of course you don't." His expression shifted, a
AuroraThe drive back to Ravencroft University was quieter than the journey to my old apartment.I sat in the back seat with my bag beside me, watching the familiar streets pass through the window. I had expected to feel relieved after collecting my things. Instead, the unease that had settled in my stomach seemed to have grown heavier.Richard was gone.I had spent years wishing he would disappear from my life, yet now that he had vanished without a trace, I couldn't stop wondering where he was.Alec glanced at me through the rearview mirror."You've been quiet."I looked up. "I'm thinking about Richard."Maxwell turned slightly in his seat. "You think his disappearance is connected to the men who came after you?""I don't know." I looked down at my hands. "But he was there when those men came to the house."Neither of them interrupted.I swallowed. "He was the one who brought them there."Alec's hands tightened around the steering wheel."Why?"I hesitated. I had never told them eve
AuroraI wasn't sure what I had expected when I opened my bedroom door the next morning. But I was sure it wasn't two warriors standing outside my room.Both of them straightened the moment they saw me. They looked to be in their late twenties, dressed in dark clothes instead of armor, but there was no mistaking what they were. Strong. Alert. Every movement spoke of years of training.One of them inclined his head respectfully."Good morning, Miss Aurora."I blinked."Good morning."The other offered me a small smile."Alpha Denver has assigned us to your protection."The words settled over me with surprising weight.This wasn't pretend anymore. Whatever the twins suspected... everyone else believed it was serious enough to post guards outside my room."I... see."Neither of them looked uncomfortable. If anything, they seemed determined."We'll be accompanying you wherever you go," the first warrior said. "If you need anything, all you have to do is ask."I thanked them quietly before
Selena POV:A quiet laugh left him, low and warm.“Or would you rather I go on my knees?” I asked softly.Before he could answer, I slowly slipped down in front of him, my fingers brushing along his waist as I tugged at his clothes.His breath caught the moment he realized what I was doing, the tea
Denver.Selena’s smirk lingered for only a second after my words.Then the meaning behind them sank in.Her breath caught slightly.I straightened slowly in front of her, the teasing edge in my expression fading into something far more controlled, far more dangerous. The shift inside me was subtle,
Selena POV:I had barely taken three steps toward the door when a hand caught my wrist.“Where do you think you’re going?”I glanced back at Denver.“There are still a few things I need to finish up,” I said. “The gifts from the ceremony still need to be sorted and—”“You’re leaving me?”“I’m not l
Denver.I was halfway down the hall to my room when one of the guards walked up to me.“Alpha, Tiana was here asking for you,” he said. “She’s waiting.”I didn’t think twice. “Give her access.”The door to my room had barely shut behind me when I started pulling off my jacket. My body felt heavy, t
