Chapter 51

• Aurora POV

What pulls me from sleep is the sound of Killian’s voice, low and sharp, carrying through the glass doors. For a long moment I don't move, just lie there listening to the agitation in his whispered shouts, his anger only barely contained. He's trying to keep his voice down, but it's failing, and the tension vibrates through the air.
