Phoebe’s POV

I stood frozen, feeling a cold numbness spreading through my chest, as if I was staring at a ghost, not a person. I blinked repeatedly, thinking it was the aftereffect of my stay in the clinic. Unfortunately, it wasn't a hallucination. Shock, happiness, confusion, and fear came over me all at once. “How is she still alive? I watched her die.” Sudden dizziness washed over me, my legs going weak like jelly.

“Im…impossible!” I managed to speak, clutching my throbbing head. “You died

    Phoebe’s POVA breath caught in my throat as I pushed my room door open. Felicia. She sat quietly on the edge of my bed, her gaze boring a hole through me. “Hope you’ve said all your goodbyes,” she said, her voice devoid of any emotion. “We leave tomorrow evening.” My chest tightened. The word “tomorrow” rang over and over in my head. The atmosphere in the room dropped, feeling suffocating. My gaze drifted unconsciously around the room. The memories Aurora and I had shared. My first kiss with Eric. This place had become my home. And now I was leaving it behind. “Okay, Felicia,” I nodded. She tilted her head. “You don’t look happy.”“Of course, I am,” I replied with a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “You shouldn’t grow attached,” she murmured. “Once you do, it will become your weakness.”“Is that why you left me and dad?” I snapped, clenching my fist. Her body stiffened, obviously caught off guard. “Nonsense,” she retorted, something unknown flickering in her eyes. “I did it

    Chapter 49: FearedPhoebe’s POVThe moment I stepped into my room, I slammed the door shut behind me. I pressed my back against the door, breathing heavily as the previous events replayed in my head. The way she was gasping for air. The horrified look from the other students. The satisfaction I got from almost ending her. My stomach clenched tightly“What’s wrong with me?” I muttered under my breath.“The look in your eyes said otherwise.” Eric's words echoed in my head. “I wanted to know the real you.”Mr. Grim Reaper had also warned me. I didn’t believe. But now, It was clear. Was it really the life essence Felicia had taught me to absorb? Or was it something…more?“I can sense the darkness in you” “No!” I yelled, shutting my eyes shut.“With time, it will consume you” “Shut up!” I screamed, pressing my palms over my ears. I sank to the floor, my fingers gripping my hair wildly. Every sound in tbe room became a sharp, piercing jab. I staggered toward the bathroom sink, gripping

    Chapter 48: The darkness in herPhoebe’s POVThe air crackled with suffocating tension, so intense, only the sound of our breath could be heard.“How…how long have you been here?” I stammered, my fingers twisting together. Eric didn’t answer immediately. Instead be brought out a cigarette, slowing lighting it. “Long enough,” he said finally, exhaling a thin stream of smoke, “to watch you almost kill her,” My breath caught in my throat, his words taking the air from my lungs. The image of how she had struggled under my grip, gasping for air, flashed in my head. He was right, I had almost killed someone. I lowered my gaze, unable to make eye contact with him. I hated what I did. And even more, I hated the fact he had seen me this way. “I didn’t mean to,” I said, my voice barely audible. “That’s what you think,” he replied, his gaze piercing through my soul. “But the look in your eyes…said otherwise.” “Yet, you didn't stop me” I stated, voicing out the question in my head. “Why?”“

    Chapter 47Phoebe’s POVEverything about today just felt…off. I didn’t know if it was because of the way students stared at me with mixed emotions. Or the fact I could hear whispers from miles away; something no wolf should be able to do. My vision was sharper than usual, my ears picking every sound. The atmosphere in the hallway became heavy. Their gazes locked on me with intense intensity, making me almost forget how to walk. I held my throbbing head, trying to shut out the voices around me. My throat tightened, the sudden attention making me feel uneasy. The moment I pushed the classroom door open, every noise died. Every head turned to me. Their lips moved rapidly, followed by giggles. A knot formed in my stomach, my neck becoming stiff. The curiosity that glowed in their eyes felt magnetic, drawing attention to my every move. I immediately regretted coming to class, wanting nothing more than to disappear. Every step I took echoed louder than it should.“I shouldn’t have come,”

    Chapter 46: Phoebe’s POV “I’m leaving.” The words slipped out before I could stop myself. Aurora stood still, her eyes widening. For a moment, she didn’t speak, just kept staring to see if I was making a joke. “Wh…what do you mean you’re leaving?” Aurora asked, her voice barely audible. “Where are you going?”“I don’t even know,” I sighed, squeezing my eyes shut.”“How’s that even possible?” “I know it sounds crazy. But…that’s the truth.”Silence fell, heavy and suffocating. Aurora stood up from the bed despite her injuries, wincing slightly as her foot touched the floor. “Then start talking,” she said, her voice cold as ice. “You can’t just say that without a reason.” I bit my lip, my nails digging into my palms. “I don’t have a choice.”“Everybody has a choice,” she stated. “Don’t give me that bullshit.” I looked away, the rubber floor, suddenly the most fascinating thing in the room. “Phoebe, please. Just tell me what’s going on?”“I can’t,” I muttered, shaking my head.

    Chapter 44 Phoebe’s POV I pressed my entire body into him, wrapping my hands around his shoulders. My fingernails pressed into his back, the sweet smell of peppermint filling my nostrils. I didn’t want to let go. Too afraid that if I did, I might never get the chance to hug him ever again. I pulled back slowly, my hands lingering on his neck. Looking into his gaze, my eyes couldn’t help but get teary. “What is it?” He asked, his brows furrowed slightly. I hesitated, swallowing the lump in my throat. Should I tell him? No I wouldn’t. “Nothing,” I replied with a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “I just…really missed you.” He narrowed his gaze, staring at me. “Really? “Yeah.” “But why do I feel there’s something bothering you?” He whispered. “You know you can tell me anything, right? “I know. I’m just feeling a bit emotional.” He tilted his head, his brows raising. “Are you sure that’s it?” “Yes.” Silence settled between us again. “Promise me…promise m
