Chapter 16: Chapter 16 I Felt Liberated

••• Charlotte’s POV •••

“Come on, Char. It’s my birthday today. Don't you want to accompany me?” Olivia asked as she clung to one of my arms.

Olivia had been bugging me to go to the Dazzling Star Club for her birthday celebration. I kept refusing her because it had been three years since I went to a club, and I didn't know whether I’d still like the bustling scene of a club.

“Charlotte..” I heard a voice in my mind.

“Lexi? Are you okay?” It had been quite a while since she last spoke to me. Since the breaking of the matebond, to be exact, and I was worried about her.

“I’m fine. I’m sorry for not speaking sooner.” Her voice still sounded a bit weak, but I could feel her spirit getting stronger.

“No worries, Lexi. As long as you are fine,” I told her earnestly.
