Chapter 291

I jolted up in bed, gasping for air. Sweat dripped down my back as I tried to catch my breath by inhaling deeply, before closing my eyes and exhaling. I should be used to waking up like this by now, it’s been over two years since that night, I thought as I ran my hand down my clammy face. Throwing the covers off of me, I got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom for a much-needed shower. Once washed and dressed I made my way out of my room, down the corridor, and towards my office.

Every day felt like I was just going through the motions. The extreme pain, and overwhelming emptiness hit me all at once, then stayed with me all day. I had no idea if I’d ever get back to normal. Turning the handle, I pushed on the door and entered my office.

"Morning, Sam."

I froze on the spot, her words ringing in my ears. I didn't expect to see her, not here, not now.

"Selene, what the hell are you doing here? Is Freya okay?"

Freya Rose
