I suck in what may be a mix of a sob and a hiss of frustration. It comes out in an odd-sounding growl. I want to cry and scream at the same time. Without giving it further thought, I reach out for his hand and weave my fingers with his. I inch closer to his side, not caring if I get blood on me. His touch alone makes everything I feel a good deal less alarming. “I’ll be okay.”

But don’t get me wrong; I am still angry at him.

He nods, not pushing it further. We make it to the clearing, finding Celeste, Mrs. Humphrey, Mr. Len, and five guards surrounding a snarling Ariah. She’s bound with chains, her fury directed at Mrs. Humphrey.

Celeste turns, then crouches down beside Nate, wiping his forehead with her hand. A calm look is on her face when she looks up at us and cracks a smile. “He fainted. He’s okay.”

I can’t help but let out a chuckle. “Are you serious?” I peer at Ariah, my smile dropping. “Is she going to be okay?”

“She’ll be quite fine. Once she’s gotten in some proper rest,” qu

    “That’s my girl!” Nate cheers, already stripping off his shirt and sprinting toward the waves. Celeste follows with a laugh, and Luca gives me a sideways grin before tossing his drink cup aside and wading in after them. He tears off the leather jacket he seems to be always wearing, followed by his shirt.I involuntary freeze for a moment, surprised he’s—well, ripped.Of course, Nate notices too, and voices it with a whistle, “Is that what you’ve been hiding from us?”Luca snorts, muttering something I can’t hear from over here.Nate follows up with, “So, you should totally consider swinging gay.”“Nate!” Celeste huffs incredulously.“What?” Nate asks, feigning innocence.I stand there for a second, letting the chill of the night settle on my skin. The beach has always been a comforting place for me, but tonight, under the vast black sky, it feels different. Like the darkness is watching. Waiting.Shaking off the uneasy feeling, I slip off my sandals and follow the others into the wate

    Of course, Celeste is still blissfully unaware of last-night’s events. I haven’t gotten a chance to catch up with her between classes, and her being busy with her own things.Elijah’s expression is stuck between the middle of a frown and a stiff smile. “Yes. It was okay.”Celeste’s face falls. She opens her mouth, looking like she wants to add something, but closes it again and looks at me.I shake my head.“Can we talk for a moment?” his gaze settles on me. “Alone, please.”“Not now,” my lips draw tight. “I’m hanging out with my friends.”“Please?”There it is. The pull. The. Freaking. Pull. And the soothing calmness settling over my skin like a soft blanket. I open my mouth to agree, then I snap it shut again. Pushing against those conflicting emotions.The realization in that moment that Luca might be right about Elijah manipulating my emotions, leaves a horrible, disappointing burning feeling inside my chest. “I said later.”Elijah frowns, his eyes bouncing between me and Celeste,

    Nate bursts into laughter, nearly spilling his drink. “Oh my Goodness, girl, you seriously don’t know?”“Clearly not!” I snap, scanning the area as more people cheerfully wave at me. “Enlighten me, please.”“Luca.” He says the name like it’s an answer to everything.I frown. “And?”“He told everyone it’s your party,” Nate explains, grinning ear to ear. “When he took over the planning, he made it sound like you were behind the whole thing.”My jaw drops. “Are you serious?”Nate just shrugs, totally unbothered. “And judging by how this place looks, everyone’s loving it.”I glance around at the crowd, taking in the lavish decorations, the high-end food spread, and the general atmosphere of fun. It’s definitely not the usual Valerie brand of tacky and over-the-top. This feels… classier.I’m about to respond when a loud, furious shriek cuts through the air.“Where is it?! Where’s all my food? My decorations?”Oh boy. Here we go.Valerie storms onto the scene like a hurricane, her face red

    I step back from the mirror, doing a slow turn as I take in the outfit Luca gave me. The boho floral print two-piece set clings in all the right places, the off-shoulder twist crop top revealing just enough without being scandalous, and the high-slit flowing skirt giving a playful flair. The material is so soft, it almost feels like a second skin—stretchy, and expensive.I brush my fingers over the fabric, still in awe that Luca somehow nailed my size perfectly. I wonder if he bought all our friends outfits, too. I mean—I assume it’s part of whatever plan he’s got going.Swapping my sneakers for strappy lace-up sandals is a no-brainer. And while I don’t usually fuss over makeup, I can’t leave the room in an outfit like this without a little extra. I dab on some blush, swipe a layer of mascara over my lashes, and finish with a bit of lip gloss. Stepping back, I give myself one last look in the mirror.Yeah, I feel pretty. Which, in itself, is a weird sensation. I don’t normally fuss th

    “I look like a damn potato,” Nate whines, tearing off the beige, button-up shirt and tossing it onto his bed. My gaze narrows onto the now-crumpled shirt—one of many other shirts lying beside me. I sigh.“I still think the teal one looks great on you,” I insist, pulling it out from the pile and holding it up. “It brings out the color in your eyes.”Nate stares into his closet. “Yeah? You think?”I nod. “Not think. I know.”He lets out a low breath of defeat, holding out a hand, wriggling his fingers. “All right. Let me have it.”I pass him the shirt. “So. What’s the big plan tonight?”As Nate pulls the shirt over his head, he says, “Well, Luca said he’s taking care of it. So, I don’t know exactly.”“But it involves taking over Valerie’s party?”“Yes,” he offers a toothy grin, as his head pops out through the neckline of his shirt, his light brown hair sticking up in all directions.“You have so much faith in him.”“And you don’t?” he asks, looking taken aback. “Hails, the guy is the m

    The guy barely nods, but Luca doesn’t seem to care. He turns back to me, his eyes glinting with mischief. “So, what’s the plan? We hunt this ghost down, shake them up a bit, and make them spill their spectral secrets?”I smirk despite myself. “Yeah, something like that. Let’s see if we can find out anything useful about that key. Maybe there’s a ghost bored enough to chat.”“Or rant,” Luca adds with a wink. “Old ghosts love a good rant. Especially the ones who think they’re still living in the 1800s.”“And you’d know how?”“Ah—” he cracks a grin. “Good old Humphrey ranted about it one day.”“Oh, I see.”We grab our coffees, and Luca leads the way out, holding the door open with an exaggerated flourish. I roll my eyes at him but can’t help the smile tugging at my lips.As we make our way to the Werewolf History display room, the vibe changes. The corridor is dimly lit, and the old portraits hanging on the walls seem to watch us with accusing eyes. It’s colder here, too, the kind of chi
