Aurora's POV
*****
"You... You're joking, right?" Her breath hitched after Lucian revealed their parents' big secret.
They had a younger brother. One who was eighteen years old.
"I can't joke around with something so serious, sister." Lucian's tone was apologetic as he stepped down the dais. "I haven't asked mom about it yet but—"
"Why not?" Aurora's frown deepened. "She... She's in on this too. A whole ass sibling, Lucian! They've kept this from us for eighteen years!"
How the heck was this even possible?
No matter how hard she tried racking her head, she couldn't recall any moment when their mother was pregnant.
That was probably because she was barely a year old at the time, but still. No records. No mentions during the dozens of strained family dinners they've had.
Nothing.
"I understand how... This feels like a lot." Lucian finally got to the bottom of the dais, his arms spread in an attempt to calm her.
Feels? FEELS?
