Not Ready

Leila's POV:

Since the moment I regained my true self, life has been nothing but a whirlwind. One intense event after another, each one pushing me to the brink and then pulling me back just in time for the next storm. It started with Drake, finding out the truth about me—about everything I'd tried so hard to hide from him—and his reaction wasn't what I had expected. He didn't blame me, didn't see me as the monster I feared I was. If anything, it made our bond stronger.
