Aurora’s POV
I couldn't sleep a wink after my encounter with Lucien. My whole body felt numb, so I just lay on the cold floor.
The sun shone directly into my eyes, but all I did was stay there, enjoying the warmth. It helped calm me.
Now that the moon was gone, I could think straight, but that didn’t exactly make me feel better, because I realized I had hurt Nathalie badly. She deserved it anyway, but that didn’t mean it made me feel any better.
Plus, Lucien had said a lot of hurtful things too, so we were even.
I finally opened my eyes to look at the sky, and it was so beautiful—unlike my life.
"I'm so sorry, Lena," I muttered with a heavy heart as I cradled myself.
My whole body was curled up into a ball as I lay there.
The pattern of footsteps brought my consciousness to alert.
