Trapped by Seven Mafia Wolves novel Chapter 114

Breaking Through

Aurora’s POV

The sheets stick to my arms.

Every part of me aches. The bandages are fresh again, the ointment still cool on my skin. But it doesn’t numb the stinging. It just makes it… duller. Less sharp.My body is still exhausted, but it’s

my mind that won’t shut up.Jace tucked me in hours ago. I think. I don’t really remember.

Everything’s a haze–mud, rain, Luka’s voice, the look in his eyes.

That look.

I turn my head slowly on the pillow. My phone’s on the nightstand.

I haven’t touched it in weeks.Not since… before everything.

I reach for it carefully, flinching at the pull of gauze against my skin. My fingers are shaky as I

unlock the screen.

106 notifications.

Oh.

The screen is filled with missed messages, group chats, unanswered calls. My heart clenches a

little.

I open them one by one.

Mia:

Then Zoey.

Jade:

My chest tightens as I scroll through more messages. It’s a mix of frantic texts, sweet check–ins, little jokes I barely recognize, and words full of genuine care.

I didn’t think anyone cared this much.

My thumb hovers over the keyboard. For a long moment, I just stare.

What do I say after disappearing like that? After everything?Finally, with shaking fingers, I type:

me:

hey
