I looked at Bianca again. Silently willed her to do what was right.Guilt washed over me when she just continued to stand there, feigning ignorance. I wondered, for a moment, if I should reveal myself now. If I should tell everyone that the feast had been my doing, that it wasn’t Bianca, and that I suspected her of being the one to send freckles on that suicide mission.But no one would believe me. I would just be pegged as the liar. I would probably be expelled before I had a chance to prove myself to Alder. He already likely wouldn’t have believed me under normal circumstances, but now?And then I saw it.It was brief. Subtle. So subtle that anyone who wasn’t staring at Bianca intently like I was would miss it.She took a step closer to the boy standing next to her. Her other “friend”. I couldn’t recall his name, but I had seen him hanging around her and freckles for weeks now.And she pinched him in the back. Hard.He gasped, stumbling forward. Mr. Alder whipped his head toward him

Every instinct was screaming at me to hold her, to wrap her in my arms like any good boyfriend would and comfort her. But I couldn’t. Having her on me like this, sobbing into my shirt, soaking my skin with her tears… It just made me uncomfortable.“What was her name?” I blurted out.“Wh…What?”“Your

I could tell that the puddle of blood was still slightly tacky just from looking at it.“Aha.” Zane crouched, running his fingers across a spot near the blood, then sniffed them. His eyes flickered yellow for a moment as his wolf surged, scenting something. A rogue. He pointed off into the distance. “Think they went that way.”Callum and I followed closely behind, still not speaking. Zane led the way for what felt like miles. We eventually reached the edge of the search party zone, where the yellow tape was still fluttering between the trees, partially tattered now from the elements.There was a spot between two trees where the tape was broken entirely. As if something had run through the tape like a goddamn finish line.We went that way.We must have walked for over an hour. I lost track

Liora’s POVI didn’t know why I got that boost of speed.All I remembered was running through the woods with that rogue on my heels. He was so close, and I wasn’t quite fast enough.“It’s you!” he snarled, so close I could feel his hot breath on the back of my neck. “Come here, little princess! I wo
