LOGINPetra doesn’t flinch, she simply blinks and smiles again. “Sure you are, there’s a baby right….” She points at my stomach over the table. “There.” “No, I shake my head, pulling my tank top down some more. My idiot of a mate packed one of my old ones, it's a super-tight fit. “Is it a secret?” She f
“Is that why you came back?” The girl asks. “Because you and your mate are not on good terms?” I simply stare at her. She seems pretty invested in my life, and for a moment, I start to think she might have been planted by someone out or in here to find out about my plans of potential escape. It’s
AELIANA Day three, round two. I hate this place. Every single day, my hatred for this place grows, and these last three days since I came back have really gotten to me. I have more eyes on me than I did before, which has made it very hard for me to speak to someone. Someone whom Mama Bird instruc
Me? He had me, and he drove me straight to the lion's den. He can’t be serious right now. My eyes quickly shift back to Evelyn. “Do I go to confinement if I punch him?” “Yes.” She almost whispers. “What are you doing here?” I ask, watching him to ensure he keeps his distance. “I came to see ho

“What did you say to my mother?” He demands, answering my question with one of his own. It appears he hasn’t learned learned his lesson on commanding me just yet. “Aeliana,” he repeats. “Nothing,” I say with an eyeroll. His expression remains the same, cold, unsatisfied, and half-entertaining. “Wh
I shake my head. “No wonder,” she nods knowingly. “You’d never allow her near him if that were the case, you’d be on guard.” She pauses, looking down at her phone. “Oh, that’s your Mom.
