{IRIS}
It had not even been two days, and already I found myself missing Lord Val, Sebastian, and that ever-gloomy mansion I once swore I could not breathe within.
The silence. The cold halls. The suffocating grandeur.
Even Sebastian's hellish training.
Goddess preserve me—I missed that, too.
And yes… I missed Lorcan as well, though not the part where I lived like a half-starved servant under the pack's whims.
Whenever my loneliness gnawed at me, I walked the campus grounds, memorizing the winding paths, the ancient statues, and many facilities of the Covens of Midnight.
I made it a strict rule to wander only while the sun was high—bright, warm, and comforting—and to return to the dormitory before the clock dared approach five.
Ever since that night in the library… I had not set foot there.
And I probably never will.
