Selina’s POV
I woke to emptiness.
The bed beside me was cold, Ashran’s warmth long gone.
For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling of his room, feeling the pleasant soreness in my body that reminded me of everything we’d done last night.
Heat flooded my cheeks at the memories.
But the heat was quickly replaced by something colder when I realized how much time had passed.
The sunlight streaming through the windows was too bright, too strong. It had to be mid-morning at least.
And Ashran was gone.
I sat up slowly, pulling the sheet around myself, and that’s when the sadness hit.
He’d left. He hadn't even stayed until I woke up. Just… disappeared while I was sleeping.
Maybe last night hadn’t meant as much to him as it had to me.
Maybe I was just another conquest.
