*~Aurora's POV~*
A scream was building inside me , trapped beneath my ribs as the Luna held my hand and smiled like she knew something. Something about me. I could feel a strange tension rolling off her, and every instinct in my body told me something wasn't right.
Does she know I'm a woman? Is that why she's acting like this? Oh goddess…
My stomach flipped so violently I thought I might faint. If she discovered my secret — my one, biggest, most dangerous secret — that would be it. The end of me. I didn't want to die. I didn't want to be exposed. I just wanted to run.
But I couldn't. I had to keep myself together.
She tightened her grip on my hand and led me to my assigned room. I expected her to drop me off at the door and leave… but no. The moment I stepped inside, she followed me in.
My heart sank.
"Hi," she said softly, eyes warm. "This is your room."
"Yes. Thank you, Your Grace." I bowed, praying she would take the hint and walk away.
Instead, she sat on my bed.
