Chapter 68

• Aurora’s POV
• Lucian’s smile broadened in approval, transforming his expression from mild surprise to sheer joy. It was as if he had just won a million-dollar lottery after seeing me bonding with his mother. I, on the other hand, felt an unparalleled peace and satisfaction. It was a feeling beyond explanation, a rare moment when things seemed to finally be aligning. However, the secret I harbored was still looming like a dark cloud.
• It felt surreal that his mother had accepted me after learning about my Lycan heritage. I had braced myself for an entirely different reaction—perhaps a horrified shriek or worse, an outright exposure. To my relief, she had taken it remarkably well. I was profoundly grateful for her acceptance.
