Aurora's POV
"He… he left without me?" I whispered, my hand gripping the door.
"The Alpha King has a very busy schedule, Miss Aurora," the driver replied, keeping his eyes lowered. "I'll be waiting downstairs. Please take your time."
I closed the door and leaned against it, the silence of the room now feeling like a physical weight. He had actually done it. He had taken me at my word. I had called him a heartless, broken man, and instead of fighting me, he had simply stepped out of my life. He was giving me exactly what I asked for: distance.
But it was a distance I realized I couldn't survive.
I moved like a ghost myself, packing the few things I was given, before walking downstairs.
Alpha Oscar was in the foyer talking to a staff member. When he saw me, his expression was unreadable.
"He's gone," I said, my voice sounding hollow even to my own ears.
Oscar didn't seem surprised; he only nodded.
