Chapter 77: Conflicted emotions

After Damien's departure, the guard assisted Aurora out of bed and guided her to her residence within the mansion, which was situated some miles away.

Aurora allowed the guard to lead her, realizing that her past with her mate had been far worse than her current situation. Her thoughts wandered to Scarlet, wondering if Damien had locked her up as well.

"I must find my friend, please, just give me a moment!" She implored, tugging at the guard's wrist.

"No," the guard declined, maintaining a firm grip on her hand, hurrying back to the mansion. He knew it was better not to annoy Damien by fulfilling her request, considering she held no significant position within the pack.

"Then will you help me check on her?" Aurora changed her plea, and the guard appeared to be moved by her request. If he were to check on Scarlet's whereabouts while keeping Aurora locked up, it wouldn't cause any trouble for him since he was in charge of guarding her room.
