Mate bonds.” He says, as if trying out the word. “Actually…” “What did you want to speak about?” I demand. They’re
“Let’s meet at the institution to further discuss. There’s a lot I can’t say over the phone.” She says, “Just call me when you get here.” And with that, the line goes dead. Maddox and I share a look, and I shake my head. I don’t like the sound of Evelyn’s tone. I’ve been uneasy about Aeliana being
“The doctors don’t think it’s a good idea for her to leave, much less after her escape.” “I didn't like leaving her there,” Maddox groans. “She seemed done.” His voice drops, “She didn’t even fight it like last time.” “It’s a good thing, is it not?” Danielle frowns. “No,” he sighs. “It’s worrying
