AuroraHis words echoed in my mind the entire day.And that one what if—what if the visions had been nothing but Natasha and Lilith’s manipulation—kept circling back, refusing to leave me alone.Could it be true?But then came the other what if.The one that hollowed me out from the inside.What if it had all been real?The thought alone felt like something clawing through my chest.So which was worse?Not trying at all… or finding out the truth?I already knew the answer.There was no “or.”Not trying would destroy me just as much.Maybe even more.Dad sat across from me on the couch, flipping through channels for the past few minutes. The television flickered with changing scenes, but neither of us was actually watching.The silence between us wasn’t empty.It was heavy.Loaded with everything we weren’t saying.So I broke it.“Spill it, Dad,” I said, glancing at him. “I know you want to say something.”“What?” He looked at me, slightly caught off guard, before quickly shaking his h

Aurora"So we will start with Jaxon's memories," Daniel said, as we all settled onto the sofa. My chest was tight. My hands were shaking. I was scared — genuinely, bone-deep scared in a way I hadn't been before. I didn't know what we'd find at the end of this. But I knew one thing with absolute certainty — I did not want to lose Jaxon.Jaxon's hand found mine. His fingers laced through and held."It's okay," he murmured, low enough that it was only for me, "I'm here.""Well, I don't see how that helps," Daniel muttered, dragging a hand down his face, "Save the comfort for later. Tell me what happened that day. All of it."Jaxon drew in a slow breath, like he was steadying himself before stepping off a ledge. "I was at the pack borders. Patrolling with the soldiers — they'd flagged strange activity along the perimeter that morning. And then—" he paused, "—all of them went still. Every single one. Their eyes went white. Bodies rigid like the life had been pulled right out of them. They

Aurora“You and I were never anything, Lilith,” Jaxon said, his voice cutting clean through the space. “And we never will be.”“Why, Alpha?” she asked softly, stepping closer. Blood dotted the ground behind her with each step. “I look exactly like Rose.” Her smile twisted. “If you could love her, why not me? I wouldn’t betray you like she did. You’d have my word.”“The only woman I’ll ever love,” Jaxon said, threading his fingers through mine, “is standing right here.” His grip tightened. “And you are nothing like Aurora. You never will be.”Lilith’s face warped, the softness gone in an instant. “Then you don’t have a choice,” she said. “We spare you—if you choose me. And Baron gets your little bitch.”Daniel let out a short, humorless laugh. “You’ve lost your mind.” He looked her over, slow and deliberate. “Who the hell would pick you over Aurora? You look like something that crawled out of a grave.”I caught it then—what he was doing.Not escalating.Provoking.“Careful,” Lilith sai

AuroraThe walk to her house was longer than I'd expected. Every step dragged against my injuries like a slow punishment, but I'd insisted on coming — even when Jaxon, Daniel, and my father had collectively tried to talk me out of it. I'd waved them all off. Now my spine was on fire and I was paying for every second of that stubbornness.I was an idiot."Aurora, let me carry you." Jaxon's voice was low, close. He'd caught something in my face — whatever I'd let slip past the mask I was trying so hard to hold. "Okay?"But I was a stubborn bitch."I'm fine." I gave him a smile I didn't feel. "I can do it.""No, you can't." He didn't argue further. Just stopped in front of me and turned his back, broad shoulders squared. "Hop on.""Jaxon, that's—""Just do it, Pretty face." Daniel's voice cut in, dry as ever. "Your man's been looking for an excuse to put his hands on you anyway." He rolled his eyes. Jaxon's jaw went tight."Shut the fuck up, Daniel, or I swear to—"Dad turned around. Tha

AuroraDad had no idea I’d slipped out of the house in the middle of the night and driven all the way to Jaxon’s.But now, standing on his doorstep with my finger pressed against the doorbell, I almost forgot why I had come here in the first place.A few moments later, the door swung open.Daniel blinked at me, confused for exactly one second before he rolled his eyes and stepped aside. “Seriously? At this hour?” He scoffed. “Can you two not survive five minutes without fucking each other?”Heat rushed straight to my cheeks as I brushed past him. “I am not here for sex.”“Sure,” he drawled. “Just a completely innocent late-night emotional conversation that somehow ends with both of you naked.”“Daniel.”“What?” He lifted a brow, unapologetic.I sighed. “Tell me where Jaxon is.”“In his room. Sulking like a little bitch.” He flopped back against the couch dramatically. “I told him to come watch this show with me, but apparently rotting in darkness is more important.”My eyes drifted to
