Nymera’s POV
I couldn't feel my legs anymore as I stood frozen in the middle of the ballroom, unable to process everything that had just happened.
The ballroom had become nothing more than a blur of faces and noise surrounding me. All I could hear was the ragged sound of my own breathing mixed with quiet sobs that I could no longer control.
I wasn't even sure whether I was breathing or crying anymore because everything inside me felt shattered beyond recognition.
The pain from the rejection kept tearing through my chest in violent waves, making it impossible to think clearly or hold onto any coherent thought. It felt as though somebody had reached inside my body and ripped away a piece of my soul while I was still alive and forced to watch it happen.
Kaelith had rejected me.
The rea
