Simon's POV
The moment I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was her.
Aisha.
Her hair cascaded over her shoulders, her eyes filled with a storm of emotions. Relief. Guilt. Exhaustion. But before I could say anything, I noticed she wasn't alone.
Katherine stood in front of her, lips curled into a sneer. I caught the last of her words—venomous, spiteful accusations.
"—should stay away. You're nothing but a bringer of misfortune."
My wolf snapped, a guttural growl ripping through my chest. The heart monitor beside me spiked erratically.
Aisha flinched. Katherine spun around, startled. But I wasn't looking at her—I was seething.
"Who," I said, voice dangerously calm, "gave you the audacity to speak to my Luna that way?"
The room fell into dead silence.
Katheri
