Chapter 351. Connected Souls

Caroline’s POV

I watched in frozen horror as Aurora plunged the dagger straight into her chest, her face a mask of pain and defiance.

“Aurora!” I screamed, my legs moving before I even realized it. I tried to run to her, my heart slamming against my ribs like it was about to burst out, but just as I reached forward, a hand clamped hard around my wrist, yanking me back.

“No, Caroline,” Alice’s voice was sharp, urgent, almost desperate, “don’t...don’t interfere!”

“What do you mean don’t interfere?” I snapped, wrenching against her grip, my eyes burning with tears as I saw Aurora swaying on her feet. “She’s bleeding, Alice! She’s....she’s...” My throat caught.

“I have to help her, let me go!”

Alice’s hold only tightened, her nails digging into my skin. “You can’t,” she hissed, her own eyes wide, glistening, but steady.

“This is the only way. If you go to her now, you’ll ruin it, don’t you understand? She’ll die for nothing if you do!”
