Aurora

(From Ella's Perspective)

I remembered it after going outside. Nicklaus, the king, had seen my mark, but he did not get the smell of a shifter from me. He would not suspect anything, would he? After all, Jed did not have a shifter smell as well since he did not turn at all. Perhaps Nicklaus would think that I had no turned as well. 

'He won't suspect, right? I hope so... I hate that look in his eyes though... It's intriguing and in a bad way.'

"Are we really going there?" Jed asked. 

"Huh? Where?"

"To Aurora. You're the one who said that we're going there," he frowned. 

"Ah, right," I mumbled. "I forgot. But let's stop somewhere before."

"Where?"

"That shop," I said, pointing at a shop with heavy curtains that nothing of the inside was visible from the outside. 

"What shop is that? People in masks go in there only," Jed said. 

"I saw it for a long time. And I need to go there today," I said.
