Chapter 140

• Vanessa’s POV
• I drifted in the realm of sleep, but a persistent tug pulled at the edges of my consciousness, urging me to awaken. At first, I resisted, clinging to the comforting embrace of slumber. But the pull grew stronger, a persistent whisper in the depths of my mind.
• With a reluctant sigh, I relented, gradually surfacing from the depths of sleep. As my senses sharpened, I became acutely aware of the urgency pervading my thoughts—a primal instinct urging me to action.
