The final bell rang and I swear I almost stood up before it even finished echoing.

I didn’t even try to hide my relief. I dropped my pen, leaned back in my chair, and let out a breath I didn’t know I had been holding all day.

Finally.

It felt like I had been suffocating since morning.

Everything that happened today kept replaying in my head like a recap from the end of a movie , I couldn’t turn off. And even though things had somehow turned in my favor at the end, it didn’t erase how it felt i

    “When will she be back?” Rex asked Amber. There was something unsettling about all of this. He didn’t understand why Lily hadn’t at least mentioned that she would be away. They had been planning their trip, which was supposed to be the next day. It didn’t make sense that she would just leave without saying anything to him. “Can you at least tell me where she is?” Rex sighed. Amber took two deep breaths. She was trying her best to maintain her composure. Rex wasn’t someone she could easily lie to. “Rex… I have nothing to say to you.” “This is fishy… Is something wrong?” “Rex… let me remind you that Lily is my apprentice. She works for me. I can send her on errands whenever I choose, and there is no need for me to disclose anything to you. You are asking for too much…” “Too much? I just want to know Lily’s whereabouts…” “And how is that your problem? What is it with you always showing up here so early in the morning to pick Lily up for school? Aren’t you just her hockey captain?

    It took me a while before I could process what Amber had just proposed to me. Ordinarily, it sounded like a perfect idea. I should be excited… it was like a getaway from all of the drama, a chance to relax in Centervile for a while. But to me, it sounded like I was running away.Clara had gotten what she wanted.If I left for a while, it would just mean she scared me away… and I ran.“You want me to leave Raven for Centervile?” I repeated.She nodded, moving closer to me. She held my hand.“It’s just for a while… I promise you, it’s for the best. The Beta is upset right now, and I know what he can do. It’s not safe for you.”“So your solution is that I run away?”I nodded as if I understood why this idea was a good one, but to be honest… I was upset that she even saw it as an option, even if it was for my own good. I didn’t like the idea of running away.“Lily… this is not looking so good.”“Nothing is going to happen. I’m going to make sure of it. But running away to Centervile won’

    Clara had not stopped crying since they left Amber’s house. It wasn’t the quiet kind of crying either. It was so and her father was already getting frustrated . .“I want her gone!” she screamed, her voice cracking as she wiped at her tears angrily. “You have to do something, Father. You have to! Do something! Do something !”Liam kept his eyes forward as he drove. He had heard enough of her complaints already, but he knew better than to interrupt her when she was like this.“She embarrassed me!” Clara continued, her breathing was uneven, she was forcing it , she wanted to sound as pitiful as possible . “In front of everyone! And you’re just sitting there like nothing happened!”“I am not doing nothing,” Liam replied. “Calm down first so we can think properly, You have been crying since and it’s beginning to piss me off , Calm down and let me think ..”“I am pissing you off ? Oh my gosh! Dad, How could you say that ? !” she snapped. “I want action! And I want it now !” She turned

    Amber was also seated, she was seated directly opposite Clara and her father …Clara had left school not only because she couldn’t handle the embarrassment but because she wasn’t done plotting . When I stepped in , there all raised their head to look at me , I didn’t need a prophet to let me know that they had been discussing Amber called out for me , Clara was still wincing, it made my skin crawl . .“Lily,” she said. “Come and sit.” Before I could move, her father spoke, he looked so furious .“Don’t sit..You will stand and listen, She is not seating .”I swallowed when I saw how defeated Amber looked , this was an ex lover…I didn’t expect her to be so emotionally present ..Slowly stepping forward, I asked quietly .“What is going on?” .He didn’t answer immediately, he just looked at me from my head to my toes , twice , and he scoffed .“ Who are you to ask questions !!” “ Liam …stop “ Amber responded . ..“My daughter told me what happened today,” he spoke anyways .I glance

    I hadn’t been to hockey practice in days and it was because I didn’t want to go , my reason at that time was simple ; I was simply just avoiding Rex but that phase was over so immediately it was time for Hockey , I just knew that I was going to attend today’s practice. .So instead of going early like a normal person, I stayed back.Of course , I had my reasons . I watched the other students leave in groups, laughing, talking, dragging their bags behind them , So that was my cue that I was late and it was over , Coming to hockey practice late …just meant , I get enough time alone with Rex ..So, I stood there, adjusting my sleeves for no reason, waiting until I knew he would be there alone.I don’t even know why I did that.Okay… I do.I wanted to see him.Alone.When the hallway finally cleared, I exhaled and started walking toward the rink.My heart was already beating fast and I hadn’t even seen him yet.This was ridiculous.It’s just Rex.I stopped walking when I saw that he w

    My heart was still pounding so fast, the kind that made my chest ache. Rex’s eyes were on me like he was searching for any marks, any sign that I had been hurt. The boys hadn’t even touched me, thanks to his quick intervention, but the fear still clung to my skin like a shadow that refused to leave

    I could only imagine what was going through Amber and Maltilda’s heads right now. It was already dark, and Rex still seemed completely relaxed. He lay near a fireplace he had made while I ranted about why I needed to go home immediately. He didn’t say a word to me. He just built his fire, lay down,

    They say the best way to get out of a lie is with another lie. Ordinarily, I’d agree but right now? I couldn’t lie my way out of Rex’s trap. I had to come clean. Not like I was going to say the truth , I was going to pretend.…It’s different from lying.“I do not understand you.”“What do you mean

    I didn’t expect Amber to react in any particular way when I told her I would be staying back, so I wasn’t really surprised when she didn’t say anything. She just nodded and smiled.“Is she going to be okay?” I asked as she finished cleaning.“We can’t say… that’s why we are here.”I nodded. She han
