CHAPTER 23
ARESWhere is Aurora? Where the f**k is she?
I paced back and forth in our bedroom, my thoughts racing through my head at lightning f*****g speed. I should’ve never let Aurora go by herself to that cave. For the first time since that hound attack, we were separated by more than a couple blocks.
She was somewhere deep in the forest, where I couldn’t protect her.
And I had let her go.
I’d f*****g let her go.
How could I ever protect her and our baby? All those dreams last night—every night since Mars had died—proved one thing and one thing only. Throughout my lifetimes, I hadn’t been able to protect Aurora once. What would make this time any different?
The god of war was nothing but weak, frail, and powerless.
Aurora deserved more than me. I could offer her nothing.
