Chapter 35 If You're Willing

• Seren’s POV
• **Trigger Warning: Self-Harm**
• Morning crept into my room like a thief, pale light slipping through the curtains and splintering against the floor. I lay on my side, eyes open but unseeing, the sheets twisted around my legs. I hadn’t slept. My body had been still for hours, but my mind hadn’t stopped running once. The night in the woods played behind my eyelids on a cruel loop His voice, his mask, the way he’d reached out his hand like it was the simplest thing in the world for me to take it.
