Chapter 71 Aurora’s POV I tried to focus on Liam’s voice—low, steady, and surprisingly patient as he spoke. For a fleeting second, I found myself admiring him. The way his tone softened, the quiet authority in his words—it almost felt… grounding. But the moment didn’t last. The sound of heels clicking against the stone broke the calm. “Oh, great. She’s here again,” Cassidy muttered under her breath. I didn’t even bother to hide my irritation. “Of course she is.” Selene sauntered in, her red hair gleaming like fire under the sunlight. She went straight to Liam, her face twisting into a practiced pout. “Liam, I don’t feel so good,” she said dramatically, pressing a hand to her forehead. He ignored her at first, jaw tightening, but Selene was persistent—hovering close, sighing loudly, pretending to stumble. Then, with a sudden gasp, she leaned forward as if about to faint. Liam caught her automatically. Her lips curved into a small, triumphant smile—the kind meant only for me.
