Chapter 49

I moved backward without thinking, my feet stumbling over themselves as my heart kicked

into a rhythm that felt too fast, too hard.

"What are you doing?" The words came out breathless, shaky, nothing like the strong voice I

wanted to have.

Maxwell laughed.

It wasn't a normal laugh, it was the kind of sound that made your skin want to crawl off your

bones and hide somewhere safe.

Light and airy on the surface, but underneath it was something twisted, something wrong.

    Chapter 50I was running.My feet pounded against cold stone, my breath coming in ragged gasps that burned mythroat.The hallways of the pack house stretched out endlessly in front of me, twisting and turninglike a maze with no exit.Behind me, I could hear him.Footsteps, steady and unhurried, like he had all the time in the world because he knew, heknew, that I had nowhere to go."Christina," Maxwell's voice called out, sing-song and playful."You can't run forever."I pushed myself harder, my legs screaming with effort, but the hallway just kept going, doorafter door flew past me, all of them locked, all of them useless."I always catch what I'm chasing," he said, closer now, much closer that it felt like he wasright behind me.I risked a glance over my shoulder and immediately wished I hadn't.He was right there, just a few feet behind me, that knife in his hand, spinning it casually like itwas a toy, and that smile.That terrible, twisted smile.I turned back around and

He gestured vaguely toward where Sandra had been standingmoments ago."Watched you stand up to Sandra like you had every right to tell her off, most wolves twiceyour size wouldn't dare speak to her that way." Another step forward."But you did. You looked her right in the eye and put her on her toes."My back hit something solid.Th

    Chapter 48The moment Gabriel left, the air in the room changed.It became heavier, thicker, like the kind of pressure you feel right before a storm breaks openthe sky. Marcel went completely still beneath me, and that stillness was somehow worsethan if he had shouted or slammed his fist on the desk.Still water runs deep, I'd headed once.And Marcel right now was very, very still."Stand up," he said quietly.His voice had no warmth in it anymore. It was flat, empty, like someone had reached insidehim and switched off a light. I slid off his lap slowly, watching his face, searching for the manwho had just fed me cookies and kissed my forehead and whispered that he missed me.That man was gone.The person sitting in that chair now had eyes like two pieces of cold stone."Marcel," I started."I need to go." He stood, straightening his shirt with precise, controlled movements. Everybutton, every fold, like he was putting on an armor."Let me come with you."He looked at me then

    Chapter 47 The flour slipped through my fingers, dusting the counter in white powder that I barelyregistered.My hands moved automatically, measuring, mixing, stirring, but my mind was elsewhere,replaying that moment over and over.Those cold, calculating eyes, that dark smirk."Christina? Hello? Earth to Christina?"I blinked, finding Priscilla waving a hand in front of my face, concern etched across herfeatures."Sorry, what?""I asked if you wanted to add the chocolate chips now or later." She was studying mecarefully, her brow furrowed."Are you okay? You've been acting strange ever since Maxwellleft.""I'm fine," I lied, forcing my attention back to the cookie dough in front of me."Just tired, I guess."But I wasn't fine. Not even close.That prickling sensation hadn't left the back of my neck, the crawling awareness that mademe want to look over my shoulder every few seconds, I felt exposed, vulnerable, like preybeing stalked by something I couldn't see.*He's watch

    Chapter 46 "Christina, may I speak with you alone?"Tremy's voice cut through the heavy silence that had settled over the room after herrevelation. I glanced at Marcel, whose face had gone pale, his jaw clenched tight. He gaveme a small nod, and I reluctantly released his hand, feeling the loss of contact like a physicalache.I followed Tremy out into the hallway, closing the door softly behind us. The corridor feltcolder somehow, or maybe it was just the dread coiling in my stomach.Tremy reached into the folds of her cloak and produced a small vial filled with dark amberliquid. It seemed to glow faintly in the dim light, pulsing with an energy I could almost feelagainst my skin."Give him this," she said, pressing it into my palm "One drop on his tongue each morningbefore sunrise, It will slow the corruption's spread, buy him more time.""Thank you," I whispered, clutching the vial like it was the most precious thing in the world,because right now, it was.Tremy's eyes s

    Chapter 45The pale morning dim light filtered through Priscilla's curtains, painting delicate patternsacross the hardwood floor. I blinked awake slowly, my body stiff from sleeping in anunfamiliar position on her guest bed.For a moment, I couldn't remember where I was or why my chest felt so impossibly heavy,as though someone had placed stones upon my ribs while I slept.Then it all came rushing back.The full moon. Marcel. Gabriel. last night.I sat up too quickly, my head spinning with the sudden movement. Beside me, Priscillaremained fast asleep, her brown curls splayed across her pillow, one arm flung dramaticallyover her eyes. Her breathing was deep and even, undisturbed by the anxiety that clawed atmy insides like a living thing.I carefully extracted myself from the tangled sheets, trying not to wake her.My bare feet touched the cool floor, and I had to bite back a gasp at the temperature.Everything felt too sharp this morning, too real.The wood grain beneath my toes
