Aria
I sprint to the deck of the ship like my life depends on it, legs trembling beneath me. The cold floor meets me hard when I collapse, and I let the tears come. The wind lashes against my skin, cutting deep, but it’s nothing compared to the ache clawing at my chest. My heart’s in pieces, sharp pain ripping me apart from the inside. How could he? How the f**k could Lucas say that about me?
I thought he was different. I thought he cared. Love? What a goddamn joke. Did the Moon Goddess just hate me or what? Maybe I was her personal f*****g punching bag.
Gail, my wolf, howls mournfully in my head, her pain mingling with mine. It’s like we’re drowning in this together, spiraling down into some dark abyss where it feels impossible to f*****g breathe.
“Aria. Aria.”
I don’t need to turn
