Sebastian:
The moment I got the mindlink from Beta Hunter, my stomach twisted.
Jai's body was missing.
It didn't make sense.
By the time the car stopped inside the palace, I didn't wait for the guard to open the door and rushed inside.
"Aurora must be in her room, Sebastian," Hunter told me when I was already halfway down the corridor.
I pushed open the door and froze for half a heartbeat. There she was. Calm. Folding the fu*cking laundry.
Her head snapped up when she saw me walking inside. Her brows furrowed, "Sebastian?"
I didn't answer and crossed the room to pull her into my arms. The familiar warmth of her body against mine was soothing for my beast.
She felt stiff in my arms, "Are you alright?" she asked me gently, and I smiled at her muffled voice against my chest.
I tightened my arms around her for a second before forcing myself to let go, "I …" Urgh. My throat felt dry, "I just needed to see you."
