Aurora’s POV“There she is,” the lead guard shouted, marching straight toward me. “Grab her!”My heart jumped into my throat.The dark trees were behind me, and the empty road was in front of me. Three men in black suits moved fast. They worked for my father; I had seen them around our estate for years.“Wait!” I backed away, hands up.The guard didn't stop. “Miss Brooks, your father said to bring you home right now.”“I’m not going back to that house.” I clutched the big black shirt tight around me. I was freezing, exhausted, and bleeding, but the thought of returning made me sick to my stomach.Asher had betrayed me. Sophie had slept with the man I loved. And my own father had watched it happen without caring at all.The guard stepped closer. “Don't make this hard on yourself.”I jerked back. “Don't touch me!”The guard paused, pulled out his phone, and dialed.“Sir, we found her,” he said, scanning my bare legs, the dirt on my skin, and the oversized shirt. “Yes, sir. Understood.”
