The morning sun spilled across Serena’s face, pulling her awake. She lay still for a moment, sighing as the memories of yesterday came rushing back. Confusion twisted inside her, leaving her unable to decide whether to feel anger, sorrow, or relief.
“What was that light thing, and look how the alpha obeyed it, but what benefit is it to me? I am stuck here , even worse than before now and today is a day of being useless, I guess,” she muttered under her breath.
Her eyes drifted around the empty chamber. Naya isn’t even here… she wondered, a faint pang of loneliness tugging at her chest.
Serena dragged herself into the bathing room, letting the water wash over her lazily before slipping into her usual gown. Her stomach growled in protest, and she pressed a hand against it with a sigh.
