Sherylโs POVI dropped the can of beer from the ground, watching it spread across the hardwood floors. My mind was whirling as the smoke began to fill the living room. I saw the smoke before I saw the flames, andthen the explosion came last.I wasnโt sure I could stand up from the couch without falling over, but Brody was on his feet quickly, pulling me up with him. The screaming pierced my ears from those who were caught in the explosion. My heart was racing quickly against my chest; Brody kept his hold around my waist and was shuffling me toward the door. โI need to get Rachel and Beccaโฆโ My words came out as a hoarse whisper, and I thought he didnโt hear me. But he glanced down at me and narrowed his eyes. โI need to get you to safety,โ he told me firmly.I shook my head; tears filling my eyes as I shoved him away from me. โI need to get my friends,โ I said louder, surprising him.I took off toward the flames before he could say or do anything.If I knew one thing about Volanaโs i

Sherylโs POVThe hospital was crowded with frantic and drunk students. Most of them were covered in soot from thefire and some of them had blood on them. Thankfully, I only had a little bit of soot because Ashton managed to wipe most of it off my face. It was myclothing that was doing the most damage. Ashton and some of the paramedics thought it would be best if I went to the hospital so they could get me sober. It was clear that I didnโt sustain any actual injuries, but they would rather be safe than sorry.I was brought into a section of the hospital with a few other students who also sustained minor injuries. They hooked some fluid IVs to my wrist and gave me a water bottle. โThis IV will help sober you up quickly,โ the nurse told me in a kind tone. โYou just rest. Is there anyoneyouโd like me to call?โI thought about my parents and how theyโd be worried about me. I didnโt want them to know that I snuck out to go to a house party. They would be so disappointed in me. Then, I th

Sherylโs POVโWhatโs going on?โ I asked as Brody quickly pulled away from me.I recognized the sound of Rachelโs piercing scream right away. I had never heard her sound like this before, but I knew it was her. The sound made its way through the hospital, bouncing off the walls and sending chills downeveryoneโs spine. My heart fell into my stomach as I imagined what could possibly be wrong. Then, she said words that felt like a knife to my stomach. โRyan!!! You canโt be dead!!!โ She screamed and sobbed. The hospital nurses and doctors were holding her back, pulling her out of the room. Brody had thecurtain of my section open, and I could see them physically pulling her away. She fought them everystep of the way though.It broke my heart to see her like this. My only hope was that she was just so distraught that she didnโt know what she was talking about. Perhaps she was still a little drunk. My eyes found Ashtonโs and they locked for a moment. My breathing got caught in my throat an

Sherylโs POVโMiss Sheryl?โ A nurse said, walking up to us, before Ashton had a chance to answer my question. โIโm sorryto interrupt your conversation. But Miss Rachel is asking for you. She just woke up and youโre the first person she wants to see. Sheโs calm now if youโd like to see her.โI stood up quickly. โSheโs awake already?โ I asked.I wasnโt expecting her to wake up this soon but the nurse nodded. โWe only gave her a small sedative that lasted less than an hour. It was just to calm her and it seemedto have worked,โ the nurse explained.I glanced back down at Ashton who remained in his seat; he was staring at me with a darkened gaze. I could tell there was stuff he wanted to say to me; perhaps he wanted to answer my question. But heremained quiet and continued to stare at me. My heart flipped in my chest, but I had to go see Rachel, so I turned away from him and went with the nurse to the backroom where Rachelโs room was.

Sherylโs POVโElysium?!โ I gasped, standing to my feet. โThose in Elysium did that to you?โ That explained why she didnโt want to step foot in Elysium again, even for my birthday. My heart achedso much hearing this and I couldnโt even contain my emotions.I paced the room, trying to calm myself down. If I lost control of my emotions, I would soon lose control of my powers and I couldnโt have that happen here. โI didnโt tell anybody,โ she told me. โI just waited it out until I was able to be released. Ryan was the oneand only person I wanted to see. Once I got out and lived with him again, I finished getting my highschool diploma, graduating with honors. I was able to get into the shifting academy with Ryan and thenI met you.โโSo, Ryanโs been there through it all,โ I breathed. She nodded. โYeahโฆ he never let me forget how much he loved meโฆโ My heart squeezed in my chest.

I just thoughtโโโYouโve been thinking wrong. Why did you think such a thing?โ I asked, keeping my eyes locked onhers. โBecause Bethany mentioned itโฆโโBethany?

Sherylโs POV Having Ashton here at the Nova packhouse was not something I wanted. But I wasnโt going to argue with my father about it. He was keen on having him here to thank him for helping me in the fire.Itโs not like I could tell my family the reason why I didnโt want him here. Now I just had to hope that Ashton would decline the offer. I donโt think he wanted to see me either. I thought he would try to avoid me at all costs. My father went to call Ashton while my mother and I talked a little more in the kitchen. โDid anybody get seriously hurt?โ She asked. โI heard the host was in critical condition.โโRyanโฆโ I told her sadly. โRachelโs boyfriend. He was the host.โ She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands as she peered over at me. โRachel as in your roommate?โ She asked, eyeing me carefully.I nodded once. โWe donโt know if heโs going to be okay.

Ashtonโs POV What the fuck does she thinks sheโs doing?! Sheryl stood in front of me completely naked. Her entire body was illuminating pink, including her face. She looked incredibly uncomfortable, and her whimper only proved that. Her body trembled as she squeezed her legs tight, rubbing them together like she was scratching somekind of itch. She bit onto her swollen bottom lip and whimpered again, gazing up at me like she was pleading for my help.I could smell her honeysuckle scent potently and it was making my mouth water. My member wasshifting automatically in my pants and my wolf was going insane over the view. He was begging me to take our mate as our own and have our way with her, but I was holding himback. She was clearly not in the right state of mind.

โEarlier today,โ I answered with a shrug, trying to seem nonchalant. โBut you were busy taking Connie tolunch.โโWhen did you find out about this little vacation?โโItโs not a little vacation,โ I said in return. โItโs a huge opportunity. Plus, Iโll be working as Cassie-Annโs assistant the entire time. Plus, I could get into that school and really take my career to the next level.โโYou can take it to the next level here too,โ he said, still trying to process my words. โWhy do you needto go across the world to do that?โโBecause thereโs no better school than the one in Monro,โ I said, furrowing my own brows together as I stared over at his amazing side profile. He was so handsome no matter what the view. โDonโt you want me to succeed?โI said that last part using a small voice. I was afraid of his answer because it looked like he had beenthinking about it for a long while. However, he didnโt respond. โI was going to tell you about itโฆโ I said in a softer tone. โI just didnโt think y

Sherylโs POV My heart was racing in my chest because of the amount of adrenaline rushing through my veins. I hadnever done anything like this before but here I was, breaking somebody out of the hospital. โI canโt leave without knowing if Ryan is going to make it or not,โ Rachel said, sliding out of bed. I couldhear the hurt in her voice, and it made me feel sad for her. โIโll keep you updated,โ I promised her. โBut for right now, I need to get you out of here. Iโm going tocall my dad when we are on the road. I wonโt let them take you away to that awful place. You almost died the last time you were there. They should be investigated and shut down.โI still couldnโt believe a facility in a place that I love could be so cruel to other species. I had no ideathose with dark hearts could linger in Elysium.

She frowned as well and shook her head. โNone yet,โ she said. โBut they are thinking about getting Rachel admitted into a rehab facility. They want to bring her back to the one she was in a few years ago.โโWhat?โ I gasped, my heart falling into my stomach. โI had no idea she was even in rehab before. But they say she went to some place in Elysium,โ Beccasaid, thinking more about it. โThey want to send her back. I donโt think the doctors talked to her aboutit

Ashtonโs POVโToday, Iโll be teaching you how to shift in the air,โ I announced to the class of students. โItโs all in thelegs. We kick off from the ground and then begin the shift right when the legs are being pushed off the ground.โI demonstrated with ease, and I was met with applause. โThis is used mainly for sneak attacks. I want you to try and sneak attack your partners. Trade-off eachround.โ Everyone went with their partners to a different section of the arena for some space. Sheryl stood in the distance, waiting for me because Iโm her partner. We hadnโt spoken since my confession at the art show, and I was hoping we wouldnโt have to talk aboutthis again. It was a moment of weakness on my part, and it wasnโt something I was going to allow tohappen again. Connie was right the other day when she said I needed to stay away from Sheryl.

That smug look was still in her eyes though. She was pulling their strings.

Iโm in between jobs and my next contract doesnโt start for another couple of weeks.โโSo, why canโt you stay elsewhere?โโI donโt know anyone on this part of the continent,โ Connie said, shaking her head. โYou are my onlyfriend in town, and Iโd like to stay close to you.

I heard him playing in the student lounge and I knew he would be perfect entertainment for the art show. โWhere should I set up?โ He asked, holding up his red velvet guitar case. โIโll show you,โ I said, walking toward a secluded area where a few paintings were set up. โYou can set up your station however you want,โ I told him with a kind smile. โHey, Sheryl!
