Wren’s POV

I was still thinking about the kiss.

Sitting on the bench outside the bathroom with my phone in my hand and nothing on the screen registering, I was still thinking about it. The way it had happened so fast there’d been no time to decide anything. The way I’d kissed him back before I’d finished understanding what was happening.

My phone buzzed.

I opened Anna’s contact: I have something to tell you. Something major.

Her response was immediate: Okay I’m outside the humanities block. Com

    WrenThe apartment froze into an agonizing, suffocating silence.Ross stood in the open doorway, his knuckles white around his car keys. His eyes were fixed on us, on my arms wrapped tightly around Dani’s waist, and on Dani’s hands resting protectively on my lower back.Dani didn't pull away from me. Instead, he shifted his body slightly, stepping forward to shield me with his broad shoulder."Ross," Dani said, breaking the silence, his voice low and tight. "Where are you coming from so late?"Ross didn't look at Dani. He barely seemed to register that his own brother was speaking to him. His gaze remained locked entirely on me, dark, hollow, and completely devoid of the warmth I had known my entire life.A bitter, lifeless laugh escaped Ross’s lips. It was a cold, quiet sound that sent a shiver straight down my spine."Well," Ross said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. "I’m glad to see you’ve finally made your choice, Wren."My stomach dropped. I blinked at him, my heart stutter

    WrenDani froze. His furious expression shattered, replaced by a look of sheer, stunned shock. "What did you just say?""You heard me!" I vented, months of built-up frustration pouring out of my mouth in a tidal wave. "You act like you own me, but you won't even set a clear boundary! Even Sienna confronted me on campus today, putting me down and reminding me of all the girls you used to sleep with! I am so tired of your past hanging over my head while you stand here screaming at me for talking to a classmate!""Is that what you think this is?!" Dani roared, his hands shooting out to grab my upper arms. "You think I give a damn about Sienna or anyone else?!""You used to sleep with half the campus—""I DON'T WANT HALF THE CAMPUS!" Dani screamed right into my face.Before I could blink, before I could process the words—Dani grabbed my waist, yanked me violently forward against his chest, and slammed his mouth onto mine.A gasp was trapped in my throat.The kiss wasn't gentle. It was po

    Wren"Hello?" I called out, my voice sounding small and weak in the cold air.Only the rustling of fallen leaves answered me. Frustration and fear pooled in my stomach. Am I losing my mind? I thought, pressing my hands against my temples. Julian is locked up. Blake is ruined. Why can't I stop feeling like I'm being hunted?"Wren!"I turned and saw Anna running toward me across the grass, waving her arm."Hey!" Anna said, catching her breath as she stopped beside me. "Why are you standing out here looking like you just saw a ghost?""I... I thought someone was following me," I admitted softly, looking back over my shoulder. "Anna, I feel like I'm losing my mind."Anna’s energetic mood instantly softened into deep concern. She grabbed both of my hands, looking me in the eyes. "Wren, look at me. You just survived a stalker, a break-in, and an academic sabotage all in the span of a few months. Your brain is on high alert. It's trauma, okay? You're hyper-vigilant.""Maybe you're right," I

    Wren"Please remain behind after class," Professor Vance said over the microphone, his tone calm, authoritative, and utterly unyielding. "We have an important matter to discuss in private."The large wooden doors of the lecture hall clicked shut as the last student left, leaving an uncomfortable silence behind.I stood in the middle aisle, my backpack strap clutched tightly in my hand. Down on the front stage, Professor Vance was calmly packing a stack of papers into his leather briefcase."Miss Wren," Professor Vance said softly, not even looking up from his bag. His deep voice echoed off the empty wooden seats. "Please, step down to my desk. Take a seat."My feet felt heavy, but I walked down the carpeted steps and sat on the cold chair across from his desk."Is everything okay, Professor?" I asked, keeping my voice polite and distant."That’s what I want to ask you," Professor Vance replied. He sat back in his leather chair, folding his long fingers together over his stomach. His d

    Wren"Enjoy your little victory while it lasts, Wren. Dani might protect you today, but drama follows you everywhere. Karma isn't finished with you yet." She sneered at me."Back off, Sienna," Anna snapped, stepping in front of me and shoving Sienna’s hand away. "Go complain somewhere else."Sienna glared at both of us, let out a harsh laugh, whipped around on her heel, and strutted away into the building.I shook my head, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart. "She's ridiculous.""She's just mad because Dani blew her off in front of everyone," Anna said, linking her arm through mine as we continued walking toward the Humanities building. "Oh, speaking of Blake's little crew... have you seen Emily lately?"I frowned, looking at Anna. "Emily? No. Why?""It's really strange," Anna whispered, scanning the crowd around us. "She hasn't been to a single class in three days. Her dorm room is completely untouched, her phone goes straight to voicemail, and her sorority sisters said she

    Wren The apartment fell into a heavy, suffocating silence after Dani stormed off. Ross stood near the kitchen island, running both of his hands through his sandy hair, letting out a long, ragged sigh. He looked completely exhausted. The bright, easy-going boy I had grown up with looked like he was carrying the weight of the entire world on his shoulders. I walked over to the stove, filling the kettle with water and turning on the burner to make a cup of tea, trying to calm my racing pulse. "I'm sorry, Wrennie," Ross said quietly, his voice raspy. He sat down on one of the wooden barstools, staring down at his hands resting on the granite counter. "I shouldn't have yelled at him. He's just stressed because he wants to keep you safe." "He's not the only one who's stressed," I murmured, turning around to face him, leaning my back against the counter. I looked at him closely, taking in the dark circles beneath his eyes and the tension in his posture. "Ross... can I ask you someth

    Wren’s pov“You’re drunk.” It was the only reasonable thing to say, the only thing that made sense given Dani was leaning close to me like that.“A little.” He admitted, like it was nothing, like he didn’t just ask if he could kiss me.“Then you should move… I’m your friend, not some random girl yo

    WRENThe ceiling of my dorm room had a crack in it shaped like a question mark. I'd spent the last three weeks staring at it. I had been on the list for a room change for a week. I kept staring at my phone, hoping for good news."Wren." Ross snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Are you even li
