Chapter 86

• I stormed into the mansion, my rage barely contained. My fists clenched at my sides as I climbed the stairs two at a time, my mind racing. Everything finally made sense—the manipulations, the lies, the connections. I had spent all day piecing it together, and now I knew the truth. My father, Aurora’s father, the secrets… it was all linked.
• I reached Aurora’s door and stopped abruptly. Her scent hit me like a thunderclap, completely changing my mood from anger to intense desire to protect and possess.
• It was different tonight—primal, alluring, and entirely impossible to ignore. It wrapped around me, pulling Kol to the surface. My wolf growled low in my chest, restless and itching for something I couldn’t explain.
