Chapter 306: Unfairness

Astrid’s

POV

I gently shut the door to Ryker’s bedroom, the soft click echoing in the silence of the hallway.

My heart felt heavy, an ache deep in my chest that I couldn’t quite shake. I paused for a moment, resting my forehead against the door, and closed my eyes.

It was overwhelming – seeing him there, knowing he was mine, and yet feeling like I was still a world away from him.

Just as I took a step to leave, I heard my name. “Astrid.”
