A plan

VALENCIA'S POV

'So tell me,' Aurora said as soon as I entered the rough path that would lead me to my lake house.

'Tell you what?' I asked, and she rolled her eyes.

'You can fool anyone but me. Do you really think I am going to believe that you left free food because Aiden was feeling uncomfortable there?' Aurora asked.

I didn't answer anything. She would know the reason soon anyway.

'Aren't you going to answer me? This is so rude of you. Tell me the truth now or I swear I am going to turn you-'

'Fine. I will tell you,' I sighed before she could complete her sentence.

I swear this is the only thing she knows to use against me.

It was true.

I didn't come out of there because I suddenly felt very bad for Aiden or uncomfortable around Shadow.

The reason I came out of there was because while I received that last text message from that private number, I was reminded of the invitation my sister sent me.
