Some members shouted over one another.Others were trying to force open the doors before Lucien barked at them to stop. Guards rushed back and forth, searching desperately for another exit.Nobody had found one. The threat remained where it was.I looked around the room and saw the fourteen Brotherhood members, nearly thirty guards.My eyes found Aurora’s immediately.She was standing exactly where I had left her, gripping the edge of the dining table so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.She looked terrified and kept on shaking her head at me, I recognized that look.I'd seen it once before, the day she'd thought my car had exploded. I turned away before she noticed I was looking."Lucien."He was beside me instantly. "What?""Tell me exactly what you've found."He handed me a tablet that one of the securit

    Aurora's POVI hated dresses.Correction.I hated dresses that came with dangerous brotherhood creepy dinners.The emerald gown hugged my waist before falling to the floor in soft waves. One of the maids had spent nearly an hour pinning my hair into something elegant.When I looked in the mirror, I barely recognized myself.I looked like I belonged here like the powerful wife of thr Capo or something .I didn't, not even a little.A knock came at my bedroom door. "It's open."Julian stepped inside.He wore a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, his tie neatly fastened, his dark hair combed back.He looked every bit the powerful Capo everyone feared.For a second, neither of us spoke then he looked me over."You look very beautiful."Heat rushed to my cheeks. "I know."One corner of his mouth lifted."Feeling sassy today?""I've learned from the best.""I sincerely hope not." He said I smiled and he offered me his arm. "Ready?""No." I cried"We're going anyway."I sighed dramatically be

He closed the door behind him and tossed a folder onto my desk.“The Beaumont family has gone quiet.” He said “They won’t stay quiet.”“I know.”He leaned against the bookshelf. “The council meeting?”I exhaled slowly. “They’re watching Aurora.”Lucien nodded. “I expected that.”I walked over to the cabinet and poured two glasses of whiskey and handed one to him.He accepted it with a quiet nod.“You’ve made a decision? .” He asked I looked at the amber liquid in my glass. “I have.”“And?”I smiled faintly. “For the first time in my life I know exactly what I want.”Lucien waited for me to keep speaking“I’m leaving.” I said His eyebrows lifted. “The Brotherhood?”“Everything.”He stared at me for several seconds theb he laughed quietly. “I never thought I’d hear you

    Aurora’s POVThe hallway was so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat.I thought she was dead, but Julian pushed her to the floor.Camille stumbled backward, coughing violently as she caught herself against the wall. One hand flew to her throat while the other gripped the edge of the staircase to keep her from collapsing.For the first time since I’d met her, the hatred in her eyes had been replaced by shock. She looked at Julian as if she no longer recognized him.Neither did I.He looked furious. I had never seen anyone look that furious before.Two guards rushed into the hallway after hearing the commotion. They stopped several feet away, unsure whether to interfere.Julian didn’t even look at them. “Take Miss Beaumont out of this house.”His voice was calm.“She is not to enter this estate again without my permission.”The guards exchanged a quick glance. “Yes, Capo.”One of them carefully approached Camille.“Miss Beaumont…”She slapped his hand away. “I can walk.”Her voice was ho
