Aurora knew she was in trouble the moment consciousness returned.
The realization hit before she even opened her eyes.
Years of training from her previous life surged to the forefront of her mind. Every instinct that had once made her one of the world's deadliest assassins screamed a warning. Her body remained perfectly still as awareness slowly returned, her mind rapidly piecing together everything that had happened before she lost consciousness.
The moonlit clearing. The sound of footsteps and the silhouette. And the sudden attack.
Someone had kidnapped her.
The thought made her eyes snap open. And she immediately forced herself not to panic. Panic got people killed, while observation kept them alive.
