Aurora:
Once, I had walked these paths in fear. In panic.
Tonight it wasn't the same. This time, I was more confident and knew in my heart what I was about to do.
The dark and damp jungle stretched endlessly ahead. My knees were begging me to rest. Maybe against a nearby tree. Or a wooden bench where I could get some rest.
But then Sebastian's furious face flashed in my mind. I couldn't take a risk or he'd find me. He and his lycans could easily trace me in seconds.
I couldn't let my hard work go to waste. That cushion and maternity cloak were just there to help me leave the palace. Once I crossed palace boundary, I got rid of it.
Now I was wearing my cloak and my face was covered with the mask. I wasn't planning to show my face to anyone without announcing that I was not Phoenix but Aurora.
By now, Sebastian must have found it and must be thinking about where I was heading. The poor man might not have any clue.
However, I needed to find Lucien before he found me.
