Aurora:
(After the flashback)
There was a stunned silence in the room. Lucien was silently crying, and it felt like he had lost Giana just yesterday.
His face was covered behind his palms, and then I felt stinging on my cheeks.
Goddess... I was crying too.
I was crying for the man who was the rogue king. Strong and fearless.
I was crying for the one who turned into a rogue when the love of his life was beaten to death.
The man who just tried to ra*pe me, now I was crying for him. I shouldn't feel this pain, this empathy for him, yet here I was, wanting justice for him.
My eyes went to Giana, who was sleeping peacefully… and now I knew what his beloved mate went through.
He fought everyone in his pack. His Beta. His Alpha.
He wasn't scared of anyone but couldn't even imagine to breathe if his mate was mad at him.
"Girl! How did you survive all this?" I asked the sleeping figure of the delicate girl whose mouth was slightly parted while she was snoring lightly.
