“There’s no way that’s happening!” Willow erupts like I knew she would. “It’ll be a cold day in hell before I allow myself to be betrothed to Theo of all people. What the hell is my dad thinking?”

“It’s not just your dad. Your aunt is in on it too. My mom too, no doubt.” I hug her. Press a soft kiss to her temple. “They have this idea that the heirs of both families should be betrothed to each other.”

“That’s utter nonsense,” she spits. “What are we? In the medieval era? I mean, it’s one

    WILLOWTessa is sitting in a corner of her bedroom when we burst in. She jumps, and then she screams, muttering something about how the vampires have returned to take her.Her eyes are bleak, like all the light have been sucked out of them. This isn’t the Tessa I’ve known for the last couple years. This is a shell of her former self and even though it’s quite apparent that I don’t like her, I feel sorry for her.Ginny puts up silencing charms. Jane tries to grab onto Tessa but she’s slapped across the face and goes spiraling to the carpet. “Fuck,” she hisses. Her fingers come off with blood where her lip has been cut. But it’s not a serious wound. It’s already starting to heal. “You shouldn’t be here,” Tessa glares at all of us. “This is my problem. You have no right to get involved”“Actually, you made it our problem after we saved you from being killed.” I step forward, staring her down. “You can’t keep this up. There’s a hockey game coming up after exams. The cheerleading team

    WILLOW“Hey. How is she doing?” I ask Ginny the second we link up in the hallway of the sorority house. “Is she still refusing to talk to you?”“That’s putting it lightly.” Ginny huffs. “Yesterday, I went to see her and Jane said she’s still locked up in her bedroom. She’s not talking to anyone. Not even Jane. You know it’s pretty bad if she’s not evening talking to her best friend.”“That’s why I’m here.” I take her hand. “Let’s go together. We have to get her to open up to us. That’s the only way for her to get our help.”“I’m sorry Willow but she doesn’t seem to need it. She’s proven over and over again that she doesn’t deserve your help. Why do you still insist on helping?”“I don’t know.” Actually I do. I had issues with a nasty gang back in high school and I got shot some months ago by the same gang members. It didn’t matter that they were working based on instructions from a bunch of unknown higher ups. The wolfsbane bullet incident had happened and it had sucked. “Let’s just

    AIDEN“I hope you’ve started constructing your goodbye speech to Willow Thompson.” Theo whispers out the corner of his mouth. “Because there’s no way I’m letting you beat me. Might as well start planning what you’re going to say to her when you do eventually break up.”If I wasn’t so pissed off, I would be impressed by how he’s able to keep a straight face as he spits bullshit out of his mouth.“How’s the head?” I ask, referring to when I’d slammed him against the ice. “Hope I didn’t do any real damage. Would hate to have done inrefuttable damage to that thick skull of yours.”“You were only able to put your hands on me because I had my AirPods on.” He glowers. “Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”“Counting on it.”“Loser.”“Fucktard.”Our trial finally starts. It’s just like Scott said. Theo and I are put in charge of overseeing board matters today. We’re expected to steer the conversations, ask the right questions and reach a conclusive verdict.Those are the areas in which we’ll be

    AIDEN“There’s no way that’s happening!” Willow erupts like I knew she would. “It’ll be a cold day in hell before I allow myself to be betrothed to Theo of all people. What the hell is my dad thinking?”“It’s not just your dad. Your aunt is in on it too. My mom too, no doubt.” I hug her. Press a soft kiss to her temple. “They have this idea that the heirs of both families should be betrothed to each other.”“That’s utter nonsense,” she spits. “What are we? In the medieval era? I mean, it’s one thing to assume that someday, I’ll be trained to take over the family business. But to also dictate who I get to marry… Fuck! I have to call my dad.”“Don’t.” I dissuade. “Seriously Willow. Don’t call him. I really do not need you causing a scene because of this.”“What do you want me to do then? There’s no way I’m getting engaged to Theo!”“Who said anything about getting engaged to that hot head?” I smirk. “For that to happen, he will have to be instated as successor, and there’s no way in hel

    AIDENThe lunch party still isn’t giving me much of anything but I know something is up.Helen is nice. She keeps trying to strike up conversations with me, like we’re long lost friends. I can see a bit of Willow in the way she smiles.I wonder if Willow knows about this lunch meeting. I doubt it. Because if she did, she certainly would have said something to me.Helen is curious about what my life has been like. She asks about college and hockey. She even asks about my relationship with Willow. It is at this point that Cary chooses to get involved.“So, I hear trials start in a few days,” he quips. “You must be excited at the prospect of having to prove yourself to the larger family, as well as the company.”Not really. But I doubt Spencer would be pleased to hear that. So, I lie. “Yeah. I can’t wait.”“I bet Theo intends to be a most vicious contender,” he plops a slice of steak in his mouth.Now that he mentions Theo, why isn’t he here with us?“Forgive me,” I speak up, having had

    AIDENI find myself being more receptive to Scott. In the days that follow our first meeting, we’ve met up twice and each time, he’s fed me name lists and company data. We’ve done mock board meetings, and even tried to close mock deals.I know he call tell that my heart is really not in it but hedoesn’t push. He just keeps doing what he’s paid to do.“How are your trial preparations coming along?” Spencer asks, pouring me a whiskey. Neat. “I’ve received a couple of reports from Scott but I want to hear from you directly. Are you holding up?”I’m at headquarters. In Spencer’s office. This isn’t like the last time, when I had stormed in here. I’m not here to fight. Rather, I’m here to negotiate. To strike a deal with the boss himself.I accept the glass he holds out to me and take a slow sip. Then I set it down on the table, ignoring his inquiries about the trials. “I didn’t come here to talk about Scott’s babysitting skills. I’m here to talk about hockey.”I slide a folder across the t

    WILLOWI wouldn’t go as far as to call myself the kind of girl who goes out seeking danger. I know there are people out there, who get off on trying all kinds of exhilarating, dangerous stuff, but not me.Somehow though, I’ve ventured into the last place I thought I would ever go to. An illegal fi

    WILLOWI wake up to the sound of my phone buzzing. At first, I think it’s just my alarm but it’s not. Tate Mccrae blasts at full volume and Violet groans in her sleep.“Ugh! Willow. Will you answer that already?” She grunts. “Some of us are trying to sleep here.”Blindly, I search for my phone, dis

    WILLOW“Willow!” The best phrase to describe Jane Keller is “cunt licker.” She’s the kind of girl that would do anything to get in Tessa’s good graces. Rumor has it that she’s being in love with Tessa since freshman year. That’s got to be the reason why she’s so devoted to her.If she’s trying to t

    WILLOW“We’re not breaking up,” Aiden says it like that’s final and I wish I could share his confidence, calling Theo’s bluff so easily and throwing caution to the wind.The sun is blazing and Aiden’s hair keeps getting in his eyes, amplifying that roguish glint in said eyes. Those same eyes are fi
