Selena.
I woke screaming, my chest heaving. sweat clinging to my skin, my heart hammering in my chest. My dream hadn't just been vivid—it had been terrifying.
Was it a dream? God. It felt so real.
I'd dreamed about standing between the triplets and Silas. I was asked to choose with whom I wanted to be. Without thinking I started walking towards the triplet with a smile on my face. But then…suddenly, all three of them were gone, lying lifeless, and before I could even react, Silas was pulling me toward him.
I was crying and struggling against Silas when I woke up.
Just then, the door burst open.
"Selena! Are you okay?" Kael's voice was sharp but calm. His hands were on mine in an instant, steadying me.
"I… I had a bad dream," I whispered, my voice shaking. I didn't tell them what happened. Not yet.
"You're safe," Kael said, pressing a hand to my shoulder. I could feel the warmth through my shirt, steady and grounding.
