Lina's POV I had slept deeply last night without any dreams, but for some reason, I felt unusually exhausted when I woke up. When I finally opened my eyes, morning light was streaming through the curtains. Jasper sat in the single armchair near the window, a book resting in his lap, apparently asleep. I started to sit up carefully, trying not to wake him. His eyes opened immediately, clear and alert, a small smile playing at his lips. "Feeling better?" "Y-yes, much better," I stammered, pulling the blanket around myself. *Lina...* Aurora's voice suddenly whispered weakly in my mind. My wolf sounded distant, like she was speaking through water. *Aurora? Are you okay?* *I... I'm so tired. I can't stay awake. Something's... wrong. Something's draining me.* A chill
