Chapter 128

Aurora’s PO.V

I walked slowly, my feet feeling like they were sinking into the ground with every step I took. My heart weighed heavily in my chest, almost as if it was begging me to turn around, to go back and confront him once and for all, to lay everything out. But what would I say to them without sounding like a jealous woman trying to destroy friendship?

Caleb and Caroline–just the thought of the two of them together twisted my stomach into knots.

They’d assured me, over and over, that there was nothing between them, that whatever they shared was purely platonic, but it was impossible to shake the feeling that something was there, lingering just below the surface, something I couldn’t see but felt in every look they shared, every moment I caught them laughing together.

convince myself that I was just being paranoid, that I was overthinking everything, and My mind spun as I replayed those moments in my head, trying to that Caleb was my mate, chosen by the Moon Goddess with a bond that could never be broken. But no matter how hard I tried, the doubt remained, clawing at me from the inside.

I kept my head down, forcing myself to just keep walking, letting my feet carry me toward the parking lot. I needed space, air, anything to clear my head. I could hear my own breathing, shallow and strained, and I clenched my fists, frustrated with myself.

“Why am I like this?” I muttered under my breath, feeling the heat of embarrassment wash over me. “They’ve told me so many times… why can’t I just believe them?”

As I finally reached the edge of the parking lot, I stopped, staring at the rows of empty cars glinting under the street lamps. I hugged my arms around myself, trying to find some comfort in the silence. But then, without warning, an eerie sensation prickled at the back of my neck.

It was subtle at first, just a faint, uncomfortable feeling, but it quickly grew, spreading down my spine like ice. I looked around, the hair on my arms standing on end as the silence suddenly felt too heavy, too thick.

I took a shaky breath, my heart pounded even harder, louder, as I scanned the lot, hoping to see something, anything that would make sense of the strange feeling creeping over me.

The parking lot was too quiet. Rows of cars sat silently under the streetlights, shadows dancing as the wind blew through the trees. It was strange, really, the way everything felt frozen in place, like a photograph from some forgotten memory. But I kept telling myself it was fine. Everyone was at the stadium, packed tight into the bleachers, cheering for the winners, waiting for the ceremony that would crown the Blue Hill High players the Kings of the field.

I squinted at the rows, picking out Caleb’s unmistakable car in the distance. My footsteps echoed louder than I expected, bouncing off the asphalt, and I forced a laugh under my breath, shaking my head. Just nerves, nothing more.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed someone by the school entrance, standing in a strange, still manner. I squinted, trying to make out the face, but the figure was hazy, like looking through a thick layer of smoke. Still, something about them tugged at me, something familiar that I couldn’t quite place.

“Hey!” I called out, my voice breaking the silence like a pebble tossed into still water. “Are you lost?” My words echoed back to me, swallowed by the emptiness of the lot.

waited, hoping they’d answer, maybe explain why they were out here alone, or maybe I was hoping they’d just turn out to be some randon. heading to the stadium. But there was nothing, just the silent figure standing there, watching–or maybe not even seeing me.
