Luna Aurora (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter 55

Aurora nodded as Cassian's hand lingered on her shoulder, the warmth of his touch grounding her. In that moment, the burdens of her grief, her fear, and her uncertainty seemed to blur, eclipsed by the steady strength of the man before her. "Come with me," Cassian said softly.

She hesitated, her eyes searching his. "Where?"

"Somewhere we can breathe," he said simply, his voice low and soothing.

Aurora found herself nodding, drawn by the quiet promise in his words. Without another word, Cassian led her through the camp and into the surrounding forest, their steps silent as the trees closed in around them.

The clearing they reached was bathed in silver moonlight. The soft glow illuminated the tall grasses and scattered wildflowers that danced in the gentle breeze. Aurora stopped at the edge, her breath catching at the unexpected beauty. "I didn't know this was here," she murmured.

Cassian stepped closer, his presence steady and grounding. "It's one of my favorite places. A reminder that even in the chaos, there's still peace to be found."

Aurora turned to him, her chest tightening at the vulnerability in his voice. "Do you feel like that now? That everything's chaos?"

His lips twitched in a faint, wry smile. "I think we both do."

Aurora nodded, dropping her gaze as she spoke. "It feels like I'm carrying so much. Too much. And I'm scared that if I let any of it go, I won't know who I am anymore."
