But what she feared the most still happened.
As the searing pain tore through her, Aurora's tears spilled uncontrollably. Her body trembled violently, yet the man above her showed no tenderness. This night would be forever etched into her memory—a night she would never forget.
It was Everett's first time tasting the essence of a woman. He was like a beast, starved for thousands of years, leaving countless bruises across her delicate skin.
For someone untouched before, Aurora couldn't withstand such ruthless aggression. By the time it was over, she was completely drained, her mind blank, and her consciousness slipping into darkness.
When she finally awoke, she found herself covered with a blanket. The air still carried a strange scent. She pressed her lips together, barely shifting her body—only to be met with unbearable pain.
