FIFTY SEVEN

Chapter 57

Ciara's POV

I ran out of the dining room, tears blinding my vision as Luna Stone's hateful words replayed over and over again.

I didn't bother turning around to find out if Orion was the one chasing after me as I made my way out of the house.

As the breeze hit my face, I thought of a place to hide out for a bit where no one would find me or bother me. Thinking deeply, only one place came to mind.

After the confusion at the training center the last time, I had stayed away from there and busied myself resolving my personal matters but that has been a mistake.

There was no way for Orion and I to be together, our worlds were divided by a giant ward and too many obstacles stood in the way. The biggest of them all was his mother who didn't seem to like me at all.

Her perceptions of me hadn't changed in all this time since Orion and I had been married. I could never be compared to Sophie and it was disgusting to think that I had even thought of trying.
