FERRIS' PV As soon as I saw her, I opened my mouth slightly in shock. Her face was hidden behind a mask and a veil, but I could recognize her from miles away. No, it couldn’t be. Even with her face hidden, I knew it was her. I'd know her anywhere, no matter what. She wore a dress that clung to

I slipped back into my seat, picking up my pen and pretending to focus on the notes in front of me. But my mind was elsewhere. I replayed every word, every glance, every moment I’d just shared with Sophia. I didn’t understand how or why, but something about her had captivated me completely. And as
Tears gathered in her eyes, but she didn’t let them fall.“I don’t care what’s happening or who’s hurting you,” I vowed. “If you need protection, I will give it. If you need someone to stand by your side, I will be there. Always.”She sucked in a sharp breath, her eyes shimmering. “Eden…”I lifted m
EDEN’S POVSophia haunted my thoughts.It had been days since I’d last seen her break down in the corridor, her shoulders shaking, her soft sobs barely audible as she tried to hold herself together. The image wouldn’t leave me. The pain in her eyes, the way she tried to shrink into herself—it wasn’t
But how?“Luna Elise, can I speak?.” Harrin asked.Elise had been arguing for me for what felt like hours, standing between me and the council like a shield. But the elders weren’t having it. “The council has made its decision,”Mirea said. “You have twenty days, Your Majesty.”I narrowed my eyes. “
