Aurora.I stood in front of the mirror for what had to be the tenth time. The bed behind me had disappeared under a mountain of clothes—jeans, shorts, sweaters, the soft cream sundress, and a light blue romper.I picked up the dress again and held it against myself. It was pretty. It was also shorter than anything I had ever worn. My eyes drifted down to my thighs. Too much, the old voice in my head whispered.I reached for my familiar old jeans instead, but halfway there I stopped. A memory from the boutique came back to me."Try it on first," Alec had said. "Then decide whether you hate it."I remembered walking out of the fitting room expecting awkward silence. Instead, Maxwell had smiled and told me, "You keep trying to hide yourself." When I blinked at him in surprise, he’d added gently, "We don’t want you to hide. We want you to wear the things that make you smile."I looked back at the mirror. The dress did make me smile. It also terrified me.I let out a slow breath. "If I’m go

Aurora.The atmosphere inside the SUV had completely changed.All the laughter from the lake, the teasing, and the sweet stolen kisses felt like they belonged to another day. No one spoke much as Alec drove. His hands stayed steady on the wheel, but I could see the tension in his tight jaw. Maxwell sat beside him, staring out the passenger window, his usual relaxed smile replaced by quiet focus.I sat in the back, twisting my fingers together in my lap. I hated not knowing what was going on.The moment the call came, everything moved fast. We’d rushed back to the cabin, thrown our things into bags in under ten minutes, loaded the car, and left before the sun had fully set.I leaned forward slightly. "Is your sister… okay?"Maxwell turned around first. "She is.""But your dad sounded…""Worried," Alec finished quietly."He was."I swallowed. "So… are we in danger?"The twins exchanged a glance before Maxwell answered. "No."The certainty in his voice made me look at him more closely."

AuroraBy the time evening settled over the estate, the entire packhouse had come alive. The warm aroma of dinner drifted through the halls, mingling with the rich scent of polished wood and fresh bread. In the distance I could hear children laughing outside, their voices slowly fading as night fell.After spending the afternoon with Selena, I felt much less nervous walking through the enormous house. Almost. I still hesitated at every doorway, still wondered if I was supposed to be somewhere else. But every person I passed smiled at me as though I belonged there. It was becoming increasingly difficult to convince myself otherwise.One of the house staff appeared at the foot of the staircase just as I finished brushing my hair. "Luna Selena asked me to let you know dinner is ready.""Oh." I smiled. "Thank you."She nodded politely and disappeared down the corridor. I took one last look in the mirror, smoothed the front of my sweater, and headed downstairs.The dining room was spacious

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 ever

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.Et
