Chapter 21

• Killian POV
• The second I’m back inside the house, I head straight to the shower, needing to wash Aurora’s scent off me before Rosa picks it up. I step under the spray, closing my eyes as the hot water rushes over my skin, and I let out a deep breath, frustrated at myself for being so careless. I should’ve known better than to touch Aurora, but resisting her is nearly impossible, especially with the bond pulling at me nonstop.
• I scrub at my skin until it’s raw, even though I know no amount of soap can erase what we did or stop my wolf from pacing restlessly inside me, furious that I’m even trying. Once I’m sure Aurora’s scent is gone, or at least faint enough that Rosa won’t notice, I switch off the shower, grab a towel, and step out, wrapping it loosely around my hips.
