ALEXANDRA'S POV I sat in the meeting, barely hearing a word. My thoughts were elsewhere, locked on the one person who had somehow managed to worm her way into Ferris’s good books: Elise. A stranger. An outsider. She had no place here, yet she had Ferris’s attention, something I had tried and failed
ELISE'S POV I was pleasantly surprised when Alexandra arrived at my door that evening. She wasn’t one for unnecessary small talk. When she told me that I’d been rewarded with a meeting with the council, I almost didn’t believe her. It felt like a breakthrough—like maybe, just maybe, I was finally b

ELISE'S POV The scream tore from my throat before I even opened my eyes. My heart pounded like a drum against my ribs, and my breathing was heavy. I was sweating, trembling. I was in a bed that once made me feel safe. in that moment, nothing felt safe. Not even this room. I had been dreaming. N
