Chapter 109

• Aurora POV
• I wake up in the massive bed, my body aching in places I didn’t know could ache, every muscle heavy with exhaustion. The sheets are tangled around me, and the faint scent of Lucas lingers, stirring a confusing mix of warmth and unease.
• Something’s off between us, something intense, almost unnatural. Every time he touches me, it’s like he’s consumed, lost in a haze of need that doesn’t let up, no matter how many times we’ve been together. It’s thrilling, but it’s also... unsettling.
