She’s in his room. Fuck.
The mere thought of that fucker putting his fingers on her gets me possessed by the devil. Roaring out loud, I knife down anyone who dares to get in my way, stabbing guards in the neck and eyes until they squeal like the pigs they are.
I only turn my gaze to see where my backup is at.
“Go!” Luca growls at me, incensed that I’d ruin our plan of attack.
But there’s too much at stake to take the controlled route.
Chaos is how I thrive.
As Luca offers me cover, I bolt toward the stairs, plucking the knives out of every single one of my victims.
There’s another squeal upstairs, the sound going through marrow and bone.
And I roar out loud so everyone can hear, “No one touches my Aurora!”

Aurora
Present
He’s here.
“What the fuck was that?” Lex growls from the room beyond.
But it feels like my body is firing up for something much more important than whatever destruction is happening downstairs. Beast’s voice is all I need to inspire me.
I grab the towel hanging on the rack, tie it around my hand, and smash the mirror in front of me to bits. I grasp a thick shard and hold it tight. Two breaths in and out, and I storm toward the bedroom in a brazen effort to overpower my captors.
Anne screams when she sees me rush in. “Lex!”
I jab at him before he has a chance to react, thrusting the piece of mirror into his abdomen.
“You bitch!” he roars, swiftly pulling it out before smacking me in the face so hard I fall to the floor.
“Aurora, what the fuck are you doing?!” my father blasts through the room, but I ignore his yelling.
With bloodied lips, I crawl backward while Lex holds the shard like he intends to cut me with it.
“You dare to attack me in my own home?” Lex growls. “After the generous mercy I tried to offer you, one single day of pleasure with my wife and me… and you chose to hurt me instead?”
He clutches the shard so harshly his hand begins to bleed.
“I will make you pay for that,” he hisses.
“No, get away from me.” I crawl toward the window.
“Stop fighting him, Aurora!” my father barks from his chair. “This won’t end well for either of us if you don’t!”
“Listen to your father, girl.”
I glance around to try to find anything else I can use to attack Lex. But all I can find is a clip that was used to tie up the curtains. I snatch it off the floor and hold it out in front of me like a weapon to keep him at bay.
Lex snorts. “What do you think you could do with that, girl?”
He laughs but then immediately groans in pain, clutching his side. The knife did enough damage to give me a sliver of time. And I use the opportunity to jump away from him across the floor, hurrying toward his wife. Without a second thought, I jump on the bed and hold the tiny trinket near her eye. “I don’t want to do this, but you give me no choice.”
