Chapter 24 The Price Of Friendship

• Damian didn’t say a word as he led Aurora down the long, quiet corridors of his grand mansion. The silence felt heavy, pressing against Aurora’s chest, but her determination held strong. She would find Luna, no matter what Damian had done.
• Finally, they reached a door at the end of the hall. Damian turned the knob and held the door open, waiting for her to walk through. Aurora hesitated, feeling the tension of his gaze on her back, but she forced herself to move. Her friend’s life was more important than any fear she felt now.
• They walked out into the courtyard, and Damian led her to a carriage already prepared for them. Aurora’s heart raced, wondering where he was taking her and what she would find when they arrived. She sat across from him in silence, holding her trembling hands together. His eyes watched her carefully, but she didn’t dare meet his gaze.
