Wren's POV

I read the caption three times.

And the longer I stared at them, the more my stomach twisted unpleasantly.

"I'm sorry," Sera whispered again. "I'm so, so sorry."

"It's fine."

"It's not."

"Miss Sera," said the professor, without turning from the board. "Miss Ashbourne. Is there something more fascinating than the lower mandible of the first-form shift?"

"No, sir," I said.

"Then perhaps you would like to join us."

I slid the phone back across the desk.

  • Twice Rejected, Twice Fated   Chapter 40

    Wren's POVI stayed away from the common area in the dorm for three days.I wasn't hiding. Nessa was two doors down, and she was waiting for me, with her wide eyes and her biscuits and her quivering little smile. Every time I opened the door of Room 214, I heard her door open too, and her voice calling out almost immediately."Wren! Hi!"I had no idea what I would do if I saw her. I had no idea what Astra would do.So I took my books to the library.It was the only place on campus that felt like it belonged to me. There were reading rooms on three floors, and long oak tables beneath green-shaded lamps, and shelves that ran up to the ceiling.On the first day, I read a hundred pages of Pack law.On the second, I wrote two essays.On the third, I stopped pretending to work, and sat at a table in the corner of the Archive Wing with a copy of the Treaty of Ashfall open in front of me and my pen untouched, thinking about my eyes.Back at the restroom Astra has refused

  • Twice Rejected, Twice Fated   Chapter 39

    Wren's POVI stayed in that cubicle for a long time.I sat on the closed lid of the toilet with my elbows on my knees and my forehead pressed into my palms, and I waited for my body to stop shaking. Somewhere down the corridor, a tap dripped and a girl laughed, her footsteps clicked away across the tiles.The ache in my skin had gone.It had vanished as suddenly as it came, drained out of me and left me shivering and strangely light. My hands looked ordinary.I turned them over, and back, and over again, as if I might catch some trace of what had happened.What was that?"Astra?" I whispered.Nothing."Astra. Please.""I'm here," she said at last, in a voice so small that it frightened me more than the rage had."What was that?"She said nothing and the cubicle was very quiet.I closed my eyes.Of all the things she could have said, that was the one I hadn't expected. Pleading for a separation from the moon goddess. Astra wasn't a wolf who was frightened of t

  • Twice Rejected, Twice Fated   Chapter 38

    Wren's POVThe hall went quiet.I turned my head but Nessa was staring at her shoes. Tessa Voss, in the front row, was examining her nails. Even Henrik had flushed a dull red."I wasn't told about the meetings," I said."The group chat shows otherwise.""The group chat shows that I was informed after they'd started.""That's a serious accusation.""It's the truth.""Do you have evidence?"I opened my mouth; I had the messages and the timestamps. I had a perfectly organised evidence proving that three people had deliberately excluded me from a project that was worth thirty percent of my grade.And I could hear, in the very back of my mind, a small, cold voice that sounded like mine..If you complain, it gets worse. It's the only thing that makes it stop. When they get bored.“Wrenly Ashbourne.” Astra said in a voice so threatening I shuddered.."No," I said, quietly. "I don't."Professor Alder gave me a long look."I see. Well. I'll note it. Your group will receive its mark. For th

    Wren's POVI should have known something was wrong when Nessa Ward offered to carry my books."You don't have to do that," I said, startled, as she appeared at my elbow in the corridor outside Pack Governance with her thin arms outstretched and a hopeful smile on her face.Hell, I have only ever met her a handful of times and she’d seem like a sweet person. "I don't mind!"I glanced down at my book and back at her, dazed. "They're heavy.""I'm stronger than I look." She slipped the stack from my arms before I could argue. "Honestly. It's fine. I just wanted to say hi. We live on the same floor, don't we? I'm two doors down. 216.""Yeah. We've met.” "I've been shy." She gave a breathless little laugh. "I didn't want to bother you.""You're not bothering me.""I'm so glad." She beamed.I looked at her.She was small and thin, with brown hair tucked behind her ears and a cardigan so large that the cuffs hung past her fingers. She had a nervous, darting way of looking at people, as

  • Twice Rejected, Twice Fated   Chapter 36

    Selene's POVI'd have enjoyed the soup, if it hadn't been for Allen.It was a lovely little scene. A dozen Constellation girls, laughing behind their napkins. My half-sister, red-faced, standing in the middle of the dining hall with her ridiculous braid dripping and her blazer clinging to her hips. A bread roll bouncing off the back of her head…I'd been laughing, actually. I'd had my hand over my mouth, and my lips pressed together, and my eyes shining, from my seat at the Crowns' long table by the window. Portia had been wheezing into her salad. I'd thought, with a rush of pure satisfaction: That's what she's worth.Then I glanced sideways at my boyfriend.Allen wasn't laughing.He was sitting very still, with his arm across the back of my chair and a glass of water in his other hand, and he was looking at Wren.He wasn't amused, nor disgusted, or embarrassed, or bored. It was neither of those things and that had cut my laughter off brutally. I watched his eyes follow her acro

  • Twice Rejected, Twice Fated   Chapter 35

    Wren's POVI walked out of the dining hall with my back straight and my chin up, past the rows of silent tables and the curious, hungry eyes. I walked down the corridor, up the stairs. And only when I'd reached the empty landing at the top of the east stairwell, and heard the door close behind me, did I put my forehead against the cool stone wall and press my fist to my mouth, hard.I didn't cry. I'd never cried in front of bullies. It would only make them feel more powerful. I heard about what happened after I left from three different sources and each one more exaggerated than the last. .According to Isolde, who gave the most accurate account, Sera had set down her tray on the nearest table and deliberated on using a chair or not to talk. She had walked across the dining hall without hurrying, until she was standing directly in front of the girl in the white headband.She had picked up the girl's tray. She had said, very clearly, for everyone to hear.."Pic
