Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Morning After

Selene’s POV ~

When my eyes blinked open the next morning, the first thing I noticed was how strangely well I felt.

That in itself was wrong.

Normally, after a night like that, my body would be aching all over. Every breath would sting, my legs would be heavy, and my head would be throbbing. But this time, there was nothing. Only a strange lightness, as if I had slept soundly and peacefully.

Except I knew I hadn’t.

I hadn’t even been able to sleep properly last night. My body had been too restless and too tense. So how could I feel so... normal now?

My heart began to pound in unease as fragments of memory rushed back to me. I remembered being in the washroom. The way my hands had trembled, how my legs had wobbled so badly that I could barely stand. And then—yes, there had been a knock.

I froze.

The knock.

And then... a voice. A voice that had cut through the haze, grounding me for just one moment before everything went black.
