CHAPTER 353
~Valerie's POV~

The call ended, the screen fading to black before he could pinpoint it.
I sighed, shoulders slumping as the weight of the conversation settled. But before I could pocket my phone, another notification popped up.
It was a message from Uncle.
My eyes scanned the words, and my pulse stumbled.
"I know about your mates. Anyone with the right connections would. I do not support it, seeing as it draws too much attention. I cannot say what the Moon Goddess is planning, but heed me: do not let them derail you from your mission or that will be the end. I will withdraw you from PSA, N.T. or not."
By N.T., I knew he meant Nightshade Thorn.
My fingers shook as I typed a quick reply, assuring him I understood. Then I tucked my phone away, pressing a hand to my chest as though it could steady my fast beating chest.
