By the time evening came, Grimhalden barely looked like an academy.

Snow covered the courtyard walls, and hundreds of tiny lights hung between the towers. Music drifted through the open windows of the Great Hall, mixing with the sound of students laughing as they hurried inside.

Lila caught my arm before I could reach the doors.

"You're not going in like that."

I looked down at my dress.

"What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing."

She pulled a loose strand of hair away from my face.

  • THE ALPHA I WAS TO KILL   CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE

    I didn't tell anyone about my eyes. Everything seemed like a dream, I have to be careful around everywhere, so they won't see me differently.Lila, Maeve, Adrian, especially not Cassian. It has to be with me alone.The next morning, I sat at breakfast with my spoon halfway to my mouth when I heard it again.Thump.My eyes moved around the dining hall, nobody reacted. Maeve was arguing with Lila over the last piece of toast. Selene was reading while eating, which somehow seemed more dangerous than fighting. I lowered my spoon.Thump.This time, it felt different, it wasn't just a sound. It was somewhere inside me. I pressed a hand against my chest.My heartbeat was fast. The other one was slower and steady, almost calm."What are you doing?" Lila asked.I quickly dropped my hand."Nothing."She narrowed her eyes."You've been saying that a lot lately.""Maybe I'm doing a lot of nothing."She stared at me."...That doesn't even make sense.""I know."I smiled. She didn't.After breakfas

    The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the noise. Different noises collided and ended up landing into my ear. I frowned into my pillow.Someone was shouting outside, a door slammed, students were arguing somewhere down the corridor, followed by a laugh. The highlight of it was Maeve snored.I opened one eye."...Maeve."She didn't move. I pulled the blanket over my head. The noise didn't disappear. If anything, it became louder.Rain tapped against the windows, footsteps crossed the corridor, someone dropped something in the room beside ours. A girl whispered to her friend two rooms away. And then I heard something that made me sit up.A pen scratching against paper, slowly.“Shish…shish .shish….” The noise continued.I stared at the wall. The noise became frustrating and tiring. There was no reason I should have been able to hear that.I pulled the blanket away, Maeve was still asleep. Lila was curled beneath hers, facing the wall.I listened again.“Shish…shish” the scratchin

    I woke before the bell.For a few seconds, I didn't know where I was. The room was dark except for the thin line of morning light slipping beneath the curtains. My body felt heavy, and my feet still hurt from dancing the night before.I remembered yesterday’s dance and I smiled into my pillow. Then I remembered Adrian nearly stepping on someone. I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing."Idiot," I whispered.Maeve shifted in the bed across the room. Ever since the Whispering forest Selene and Maeve had their second apartment with us. Very clingy humans.She didn't wake. I slowly got out of bed and pulled the curtains open. Grey clouds covered the sky. Snow had gathered along the window ledges, and students were already crossing the courtyard below. Some were running because they were late. Others walked with their heads buried in their coats.Everything looked ordinary. After everything that had happened since I arrived at Grimhalden, ordinary felt almost precious.I dressed q

Music drifted through the open windows of the Great Hall, mixing with the sound of students laughing as they hurried inside.Lila caught my arm before I could reach the doors."You're not going in like that."I looked down at my dress."What's wrong with it?""Nothing."She pulled a loose strand of hair away from my face."You just look like you got dressed five minutes ago.""I did.""I knew it."She laughed and dragged me toward the entrance.Inside, the hall was crowded.Tables had been pushed against the walls, leaving the middle of the room open for dancing. Snowflakes floated beneath the ceiling without melting, glowing softly whenever they passed through the candlelight.Maeve was already near the food. Of course, it's Maeve."I found the desserts!" she shouted when she saw us."You've been here for five minutes." I said."An

    I stood between Lila and Cassian. For a moment, nobody said anything.Her eyes moved from me to Cassian, then down to the papers spread across the table."You two really don't know when to stop, do you?"Cassian slowly closed his notebook."Neither do you." I said.Lila's mouth tightened.I pushed the second key toward her."You left this on my pillow."Her eyes dropped to it."I know.""Then why are you wearing another one?"Her hand immediately went to the key around her neck. She looked away."I can't explain that.""You've been saying that a lot lately.""I know."I leaned back in my chair."Lila, what is going on?"She opened her mouth, nothing came out. Cassian watched her quietly. Then he reached for the photograph we'd found in Rowan's office.He placed it on the table.Lila saw it and her face changed. Her fingers stopped moving."Where did you get that?""Rowan's office," Cassian said.Lila looked at him sharply."You went into his office?""Technically, Nira did."I turned

    Cassian and I already left Professor Rowan's office and decided to go for lunch, before we were caught.By lunch, Lila was back.She walked into the dining hall carrying a tray, looking tired and slightly annoyed, as though she had only been gone for an afternoon.I nearly dropped my spoon."Lila."She looked up, her eyes met mine for half a second before she smiled."Hi.""That's it?" I stared at her.She sat down beside me."What do you want me to say?""I don't know. Maybe where you've been?""Home.""You went home?""Yes.""During school?" I opened my mouth, “do they allow us leave school that way” She picked up a piece of bread."I had permission."I looked at Maeve, and she looked at me.Selene continued eating as though none of this concerned her. Lila bit into the bread."What?""You disappeared." I said."I know." She replied, nonchalantly "Your bed was empty." I continued."I know.""You didn't tell anyone.""I know.""You're being very annoying."She swallowed."I've been
