"How long have you known?" I ask her, and she looks away, ignoring me blatantly. I frown at her, suspicion brewing in my mind. What if this is a much bigger conspiracy than I'd thought? Especially with Leo's sudden disappearance and the missing gaps in my memory from that night. Worse, I strongly believe that he's dead, even though I don't know why or how. It feels like I've been hypnotized.

"I want you to protect her," the director suddenly tells me, and I blink, surprised. I was definitely not expecting that.

I cock my head, wondering if there's something else she's subtly hinting at. "Protect her?"

She nods, exhaling slowly. "No one can find out she's not Leo. She has to stay until the red moon tournament."

Now, that is hella fishy.

"Does this have to do with her wolf?" I ask, and she blinks rapidly.

So, it does.

"You should leave now, that's all I wanted to say," she tells me, keeping her expression schooled. She might've fooled anyone else, but not me. I can

    NOVA My chest aches watching him cry. It hurts me to see how much he loathes himself for things beyond his control. He looks so lonely, and I can't stand it."You don't understand. Nova, it's—"I press a finger to his lips, and he swallows hard, his beautiful grey eyes glassy with tears. They are so swollen and red, they look terribly sore."My choice, Rhy. Mine." I tell him, and his eyes widen slightly.Slowly, he curls his fingers around my wrist and pulls my hand down from his face. His hand is shaking so badly."What if you end up regretting it? Sweetheart, there are too many uncertainties—""If we keep thinking about those uncertainties, we won't grow. If we keep holding back because of our fears, it simply means we're surviving, not living," I tell him, and he swallows hard."Can you stand?" I ask, and he nods.I help him to his feet, and he rises with a low groan.Just then, Dora steps out of the elevator. She hesitates for a few seconds. Then she speaks, lowering her head

    RHYDAR "Hold on, she'll be here soon," Nova tells me, tucking the blanket tighter around my shoulders. My body is trembling hard, and every inch of my skin is on fire. It feels like I'm dying. Still, judging from the number of times I've felt like this, it's a surprise that I've survived this long.Nova is fussing over me so cutely, I want to pinch her cheeks. I barely even remember coming home. All I remember is her calling Dora.Everything else is a blur."This really isn't fair," Nova croaks, running her fingers through my hair."Don't feel bad for me, sweetheart. I probably deserve this." My voice is so weak I barely recognize it.Blaze keeps pacing inside of me, restless. He seems to be sensing a threat of some kind."How can you say that?" Nova croaks but before I can respond, there's a frantic knock on the door.Nova startles, her hand slipping from my hair as she hurries towards the door.Relief surges inside of me, but Blaze only grows wilder, thrashing like he's tryi

    NOVA My breath catches in my throat, a whimper nearly escaping my lips. Suddenly, I'm overcome by a crippling fear. Not because I'm terrified of Rhydar. But because I'm afraid of losing him.Slowly, he brings a hand to his collarbone. He must've read my thoughts.He stares at me for a moment. Then he gathers me in his arms, holding me to himself."It's okay, don't be scared," he whispers, and I swallow hard, squeezing my eyes shut.How can I not be scared?Uriel's sigil was initially two before it became three. What if the same thing happens to him?No.I can't jinx it.Rhydar will be safe. I desperately hope so.A little while later, Rhydar sits on the edge of the bed, shirtless, his shoulders hunched forward.My stomach knots at the sight of the angry welts on his back, each one still a little raw and red from the silver whip.The sight makes my chest ache, but I force my hands steady as I dab gently with a damp cloth."How was the food?" I ask softly, needing the distraction

    NOVA "Rhydar, what are you doing?" I croak, my heart threatening to explode.He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I don't want to do this. I swear I don't. But you're frustrating me. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm really not hiding—""If you aren't, you won't threaten or gaslight me! That's exactly what you're doing now," I cry out, tears blurring my vision.He shakes his head, sliding down the door to sit on the floor with a devastated look on his face."That's not true. No, I didn't—"A tear slides down my cheek, and his face instantly contorts with pain. "Nova, please. Don't cry," his voice trembles.I clench my fists, anger burning in my chest. What the heck is wrong with him?I can't believe I was willing to let him in. I can't believe I was so stupid.Rhydar must've heard my thoughts, blood instantly drains from his face. He rises to his feet shakily, moving towards me in a way that implies that he's about to keel over.Before I can process what is ha

    NOVA I swallow past the lump in my throat, glancing down at Rhydar's fingers, which are tangled with mine. He's sitting beside me in the car, his head resting on my shoulder.It's been ten minutes since we left the academy grounds, but he still hasn't mentioned anything about the phone call.I'd heard Zeke's voice crystal clear, loud enough that my heart had plummeted into my guts from the dread flooding my veins.Is Rhydar trying to sweep it under the rug? Does he think doing that would make it disappear? Or perhaps, this is just another manipulation of his.'Breathe, little mouse. Your messy thoughts are making my head pound.'His voice slides through my mind, faint and strained, and I grimace.I keep forgetting he can hear me."I can't help it," I mumble, and he groans softly."I'm not ignoring the obvious, I promise. Can we talk about it when we get to our destination?" His voice is thick when he speaks."Are you still feeling unwell?" I whisper. He grunts."I'm trying n

    RHYDAR Pain. That's the first thing I register. There's silver in my blood. I can taste it in the back of my throat. It's bitter and metallic. Every beat of my heart drags it deeper into my veins.I should move, but Nova's hand is on my back.She lifts the back of my shirt, and the air hits my flesh. She lets out a terrified gasp."Shit..." Her voice cracks. "Those bastards."I almost laugh, but it would hurt too much. She's trembling. Nova doesn't break easy, so I know exactly what she's seeing back there. The welts, the blood still sluggishly seeping, the way the silver burns black around the edges.The mattress dips slightly as she kneels closer. Then comes the sting of disinfectant. It's hell. White-hot hell. My jaw clenches so hard I swear I'll crack a tooth. But I don't move. I don't open my eyes. If she thinks I'm asleep, I get to hear the way she cares without her walls up.The cotton gently dabs against a welt. I barely stop the hiss that threatens to slip between my te
