CHAPTER 99

~Valerie's POV~

Astra's breath caught. "Val…"

I shook my head. "I don't know who's behind this. But whoever it is knew how to use me as bait in a coded trap. That's not some petty prank. That's premeditated."

I cut in, ignoring her words. "Also, if I wrongfully expose my secret to somebody I cannot fully trust and it is used against me, would you then be glad to see me in danger?"

I felt Astra's aura shift into something warmer.

"Then don't trust anyone," she says softly. "Except yourself. And maybe… me."

I nod once, barely.

Later that night, long after the halls go quiet and the moon hangs low behind a curtain of clouds, I stared at my phone.

There were no new messages from Solstice. My mind was tired and I needed rest. Slowly, I close my eyes and let slip take me away.
