Chapter 144

• Ronan
• Days had passed and I recalled everything Lila said and no matter how much I tried to deny it. Lila words made sense. Celina and Jaxon's sibling relationship has been strained in a way, so if she’s planning something I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s Kairo's twin afterall.
• The night wind bit cold against my skin as I leaned over the edge of the library’s rooftop. I had been frequenting here, hoping to see Lila and apologize. The whole forest stretched beneath me like a dark, endless sea. The moon was swollen tonight, its silver light catching the mist curling through the trees, casting shadows that danced like ghosts. I gripped the iron railing so hard my knuckles ached, hoping the sting would tether me to reason.
