Chapter 80

• I woke up to the cold morning air blowing through the window and into the room. My gaze fell upon Aurora, gracefully sleeping naked beside me, covered only by the sheets on the bed. A smile appeared on my lips as I recalled the events of the night before. Aurora had arrived, seeking explanation and reconciliation, and our conversation had taken an unexpected, but beautiful turn.
• This morning felt different; a weight had lifted from my shoulders. Unlike yesterday day, haunted by a mysterious dream, today came with a relief. The dream remained in my memory, but it no longer weighed on me. Although, an urgency clung to my mind; the need to expose any traitors among the pack, especially with Lucia’s coming execution tomorrow.
