Chapter 133

~Valerie’s POV~

Night had barely fallen when I found myself staring into the mirror. Again.

The moonlight filtered through the dorm blinds in quiet slivers, lighting up one side of my face while the other remained in shadow.

The day was long, filled with sparring drills and too many stares I didn’t want to return. But what made my day most was my time with Dristan.

But now, with the silence of the building and my roommate still out, I let my guard drop.

Just a little.

I touched the necklace absently. The gem was quiet now—no pulse, no heat—but still, something about it tonight felt heavier around my neck.

My reflection didn’t look as composed as I felt. Or maybe I didn’t feel that composed either.

Just as I was about to step away, my phone buzzed on the bed, breaking the silence.

I turned slowly, surprised when I saw the caller ID.

Caller ID: Solstice

A small smile curved on my lips. Finally.

I picked it up and answered. "Took you long enough to call, Storm junior."

Her voice came through the other end with all the sunshine it always carried. "Hello, couz. I’ve got a surprise for you."

"Really?" I asked, smiling fully now. "What kind of surprise? Did you find something new in our research? Or heard something?"

"No, silly," she laughed, and I could almost hear her grin. "Look out your window."

I froze.

My brows furrowed, and I glanced toward the larger window beside my bed.

"No," she added quickly, "your other window."

...The one across from my closet.

I paused, blinking slowly. How did she—?

Shaking my head, I walked across the room and pulled the curtain aside.

And my jaw nearly dropped.

"Solstice," I breathed into the phone.

She was standing outside, by the edge of the courtyard wall—dressed in full black, a hoodie pulled low over her head, black jeans and boots making her look like someone straight out of a rogue-wolf spy novel.

Her arms spread out as she smiled brightly. "Missed me?"

I gawked. "Solstice, what the actual hell are you doing here?"

She chuckled into the phone. "Relax, no one saw me. I have stealth mode. I’m coming up."

"Wait, what—? Solstice—!"

But the line cut off before I could say anything else.

I pulled the curtain wider, watching her already moving like a shadow toward the building’s side stairwell.

Of course, she found a way in.

Of course, she didn’t care that this was a restricted school for heirs and prodigies and political targets.

Solstice had never followed rules. Not once. And gods help me, I had no idea what was coming next.

I didn’t know what surprised me more—that Solstice had managed to sneak into an elite academy without tripping a hundred wards and patrols... or that I wasn’t more shocked.

Because honestly? This was so very her.
