Chapter 88 I Felt Deceived

• Mayi’s POV
• The moment I laid my eyes on her—the small, beautiful young woman who was with the Head Warrior—I felt something inside me stir. A deep, inexplicable pull tugged at the core of my being, as though an invisible thread had connected our souls long before this moment. The sensation was overwhelming—an aching familiarity, a surge of recognition that made my chest tighten.
• At the Wizardry Academy, I had been taught that this kind of connection only existed between family or destined mates. It was not the sort of bond one simply stumbled upon by accident. Yet here it was—alive, undeniable, and unsettling.
