ClaraRonan and I returned to the werewolf castle to find it in a state of celebration. Someone passed us both goblets of wine without even checking who we were. I saw a glint of mischief in Ronan’s eyes.“Just because they’re lax with security doesn’t mean Marcus will let you get away with anything

ClaraRonan and I did not run.Despite everything Marcus had done to me, I couldn’t bring myself to leave him behind. I looked to Ronan, who shook his head.
