Chapter 68

Alina's POV

“Evan!” My voice rang through the hallway as I halted midway, my footsteps echoing to a stop. Evan's name tore from my lips with anguish.

My voice trembled, a mixture of anguish and raw anger. I had no idea why I was angry. I was even more devastated than the anger I felt coursing through my veins. No, I must be mistaken. This shouldn't be. I was overreacting. The letter, this pendant, they meant nothing. I wanted to believe that, so I knew I had to check the pendant again to be sure.

My fingers traced the intricate design of the pendant. I held my breath as I carefully removed the pendant I had on my own necklace and aligned it with the one I found in Evan's room. My eyes widened when the two pieces clicked together perfectly and seamlessly.

A shiver danced in my spine as I looked at the fitted pendant. This was my mother's pendant. I had kept this other half without any hope of finding the other half. It was rare; it wasn't what anyone would just get at a jewellery store
