CHAPTER 43

CALEB’S POV

It had been six months since I saw Aurora. On a whim I texted her to meet me near the bar. I didn’t know if she would come but I couldn’t stop myself from waiting for her.

I paced up and down the sidewalk waiting for her. Ten minutes passed then twenty. When she didn’t come even after an hour’s wait, I decided to leave.

I had just turned to walk away when Aurora materialized before me. Startled, I took a few steps backward.

Smiling at me, she said, “Sorry for the delay, Caleb. Tyson insisted that I should wait till you start leaving just to make sure… you know how paranoid he is…”

“I am surprised that he even let you come to meet me.”

She snorted and said, “I am not his slave. I don’t need his permission.”

“Alright… alright… by the way where is our little angel?”

“I left her with Aslan and Zarina.”

“What the bloody hell, Aurora! How could you leave your baby with Zarina when she tried to kill Tiara!”
