Chapter 291 The Letter

• POV: Luna
• My dorm room felt too empty. Too quiet. Too full of absence where Liam should be. Where his presence should fill space. Where mate bond should radiate warmth instead of cold distance created by his departure.
• I sat on my bed. Holding grandmother's letter. Unopened still despite Professor Cael giving it days ago. Despite knowing it contained wisdom. Despite understanding that guidance from someone who'd faced same impossible choices might be only thing preventing me from repeating fatal errors.
