Chapter 115 The White Note

• ~Lucian ~
• I stood outside Elara’s door, my hand resting on the wooden surface, conflicted between knocking and walking away. After everything that happened today with Astrid, I wasn’t sure how to make things right. I let Astrid get away with too much, and Elara had every right to be upset. I had promised her that I would always protect her, but I failed when it mattered most.
• I knocked softly, my heart pounding in my chest as I heard her quiet footsteps approaching the door. When the door opened, Elara stood there, her expression guarded. She was still beautiful, but there was hurt in her eyes, and it twisted something deep inside me.
