Chapter 217
Aurora’s P.O.V
The pain hit me like a thunderclap, searing through every inch of my body. It wasn’t like anything I had ever felt before–like every nerve was on fire, every cell screaming in agony. I gasped for breath, but the pain only worsened, deepening in intensity. I clutched my chest, trying to hold myself together, but it was like something was breaking inside of me, and I couldn’t stop it.
Then, a light filled the room. A blinding light, like the sun had erupted inside the room. I closed my eyes, hoping for it to subside, but it didn’t. In fact, the light seemed to be growing stronger, more intense. But as my vision adjusted, I realized it wasn’t from some external source. The light–this searing, almost ethereal glow–was coming from me.
I panicked. What is happening to me?
“Help!” I screamed, my voice cracking as desperation surged within me. “Someone, please! Help me!” But I couldn’t stop. The energy was out of control, coursing through me like a wild river, and there was nothing I could do to dam it.
I could see Caleb rushing towards me from the corner of my eye. His worried expression was
unmistakable, but I couldn’t warn him in time. Before I could even say his name, the force of the energy that had burst from me flung him across the room, sending him crashing into the wall with a sickening thud. I felt the wind whip around me, cold and sharp, as if the very air was being pulled into the storm I had unknowingly created. It spun faster and faster, wrapping around me, creating a barrier no one could cross.
“Caleb!” I screamed again, but the words were lost in the deafening roar of the wind. I tried to reach out, to stop it, but the energy was beyond my control. My hands trembled, and I could feel my body shaking from the strain of holding onto whatever was left of my sanity.
“Everyone, stay back!” I heard Caleb’s voice from somewhere in the chaos, his voice distant but clear. He must have regained his bearings after being thrown. “Aurora, calm down! You’re going to hurt yourself!”
But how could I calm down when everything inside me felt like it was about to tear apart? How could I think of control when this force was overwhelming me to the breaking point?
“I can’t-!” My words were swallowed by the storm that swirled around me. It felt like I was trapped in a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. What was happening to me? Why was this happening?

Chapter 217
The light was blinding. The wind howled. And through it all, I couldn’t escape the crushing reality: this–this–was me. And I had no idea how to stop it.
I saw Harmona push her way through the crowd, her movements swift and purposeful, her gaze fixed on me. She didn’t hesitate, just rushed toward me with a sense of urgency that immediately had my heart racing. As she reached me, she held out her hand, her eyes locked onto mine with a seriousness that sent a chill down my spine.
“You need to concentrate,” she said, her voice steady, though her eyes betrayed the intensity of
the situation. “Control the energy before it turns destructive.”
Her words felt like a punch to the gut. I didn’t know what she was talking about. What energy? What destruction? Panic threatened to choke me as I felt the power inside me surging, growing out of my control. The wind picked up around me, whipping my hair into my face, and a blinding light began to flicker from my hands. I could feel it, that raw, untamed energy, but I
had no clue how to control it.
I didn’t want to panic. I couldn’t. I knew if I let that fear take over, it would only make everything worse. My breath was
v, but I squeezed my mother’s pendant in my hand, the cool metal grounding me, reminding me of her–hér strength, her wisdom. I closed my eyes, trying to focus, trying to pull something out of the fog in my mind, but it was like trying to
hold onto smoke.
