Seraphina's POV
The next day,
I got up early in the morning. Not because I slept well… I didn't sleep at all.
Honestly, I hadn't been sleeping much since I moved into the dorms. I just couldn't sleep unless I was near Brother Asher… or if Lucien was there.
The fear that I'd close my eyes and wake up in that same locked room wouldn't let me rest.
I kept trying to move on, to feel normal again. But no matter how hard I tried, it came rushing back to me.
Still, for the past few weeks, I had been able to get a few hours of sleep.
Maybe it meant I was getting better or I was healing, even if it was just a little.
"Good morning," Emma greeted me with a bright smile the moment I got out of bed.
"Why… why are you up so early?" I asked, glancing at the clock. It wasn't even six yet.
