Author's POV~
When Selene woke up, her mind felt heavy and dull, like thick fog was wrapped around her thoughts. Her head ached badly, and for a moment she could not even remember where she was or what had happened to her.
Her eyelids felt weak, but she slowly forced them open, blinking several times as the bright sunlight touched her face.
Warm light was streaming through a small window, falling across the bed where she lay. She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, confused, because this place did not feel like the palace. The air was different. The smell was different. Everything felt simple and quiet.
Her heart began to beat faster.
Where… was she?
Her gaze moved slowly across the room. Wooden walls. A small table. A shelf with a few books. Soft curtains. Sunlight resting on the floor. Nothing grand and royal. Nothing like the lycan palace at all.
And yet…
Something about this room felt familiar.
