Chapter 97
~Tempest’s POV~
From my window, I watched as Koda spoke to my sister in the courtyard with a serious expression on. They exchanged quiet words, and a pang of jealousy twisted in my chest.
The way he looked at her—it was the kind of look I had longed for. But it had never been for me. It never would be.
I saw her pull away most times and it broke his heart.
The words rang in my head. His heart.
What of mine? Did he ever bother how it affected me and broke my heart?
Tsk. I shook my head, ignoring Summer’s whining in my head.
Turning away from the window, I moved back into the room, my hands trembling as I gathered my things. It was time to go. Time to leave this house, this hurt, and the feelings I didn’t want to carry with me. The city would give me the space I needed.
I brought out some clothes and headed back into the closet for my box. As I reached for my bag, the door creaked open. My mother, Luna Star, entered, her eyes soft and warm as she took in the sight of my clothes and bag.
