Twice Rejected, Twice Fated Chapter 42
Wren's POV I swallowed.I couldn't remember the last time somebody had given me a gift for no reason. It sat in my chest like a stone."Thank you," I whispered."You're welcome."I finally allowed myself to look around the room in silence. "What is this place?" I asked, after a while."It's the, er, the old Reading Room. It was sealed off in the eighteen hundreds, after a fire. I found it by accident during my first week. It's got the original manuscripts of the founding scholars. Some of the oldest texts in the territory." He glanced at the shelves, with an expression I couldn't quite read. "I like it here. It's quiet."My eyes drifted over the shelves.They were crammed with books I'd only ever read about; the moon and her wolves, the treatise on the seven Lunar Cycles, the Lost Bloodlines. Goddess. I thought the existence of these books were rumoured to be false. I saw a row of scrolls in tubes, and a bundle of loose papers tied with a cord, and a heap of ancient maps rolled i

Wren's POVThe boy's gaze flicked over my shoulder.I saw him take in the sound of the voice, and the heavy, hurried footsteps, and the wild look on my face. His brows arched. "Is that Cassius Starling?" he said."Yes.""Ah." He swallowed. "Right. Er. Yes. This way."He took my wrist.His hand was cool and slightly damp, and his fingers were stained with ink. He tugged me around the cart, and through a narrow gap between two shelves, and down a dim, crooked passage lined with dusty periodicals that I hadn't known existed."Where are we going?" I whispered."Somewhere he can't find you.""He'll smell me.""Not where we're going."The passage dead-ended against a tall shelf of crumbling theology.I stared at it."Is this…?""Shh."He reached up, and pressed something on the underside of the third shelf, and with a soft click, a section of the bookcase swung inward on a hidden door.Behind it was darkness. And the smell of old paper, leather, and ink."Quickly," the boy whisper
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

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
