#Chapter39
Aleera POV
I was awoken the following day by the alarm next to my bed. I tossed and turned all night after what Darius had said to me, so my eyes felt like sandpaper. My mind went to the phoenix when I sat up. I needed to steal some breakfast before classes started and quickly check on him. Tossing the blanket off, I heard something slip off the end of the bed with a thump on the floorboards. Walking around to the end of my bed, I found a box. I bent down, plucked it off the floor, and turned it over. A sticky note was attached to it, so I peeled it off.
