Selene’s POV
I could hardly believe it was real. My hands trembled as I held the parchment, its wax seal glinting in the light. Becoming a Healer had been my dream for as long as I could remember—ever since I’d watched my mother mend broken bones and ease pain with a gentle touch. I used to sit by her side, mesmerized by the magic in her hands, and now, somehow, my dream was one step closer to becoming a reality. My heart swelled with excitement but also a flicker of nervousness. This letter was a ticket to a future I wasn’t sure I was ready for, but one I’d worked so hard to achieve.
I couldn’t help but think of Lucian. His face flashed in my mind, serious and intense as always, but there was something more in his expression when I saw him last.
