Elara's POVMidterms were the kind of thing that crept up on you without announcing themselves, and somehow it was always a surprise when they arrived even though they appeared at exactly the same point every term.We were sitting at one of the tables in the common area, the three of us, books and notes spread out between us in the organized chaos that passed for studying when you were also talking about everything except the actual material."I feel like final term is going to destroy me." Freya turned a page without reading it."Final term is going to be fine. Midterms are the part that's going to destroy you.""That's a fair correction."Nyx looked up from her notes with the mild, considering expression she used when she was about to say something practical."We need to start actually preparing now. Not next week. Now. Because if we wait until the last two weeks like last time, it's going to be the same outcome as last time.""Last time was fine." Freya kept her voice mild."Last t

Lyris's POVThey were exactly where I expected to find them. Kia and Evan trained together every evening in the eastern clearing when nothing else demanded their attention, the way they always did, two bodies moving in the kind of perfect synchronisation that came from spending every day of their lives as each other's sparring partner.I watched them from the edge of the tree line for a moment before I stepped out.They saw me at the same time, the way they always registered things, and stopped.Kia tilted his head. Evan said nothing, which was his default, and waited."I need to talk to both of you. Tonight. Now."Neither of them argued. They never wasted time arguing when something actually important was being put in front of them, which was one of the reasons I chose them.We found a quieter corner of the territory, away from the rest of the pack's movement, and I laid it out without circling around it.I told them about Elara.Not everything, just what they needed. That she was th

Elara's POVBy evening, they still weren't back, i sat on my bed for a while and tried to work on the remaining questions from the assignment, but the focus that carried me through the afternoon wasn't there anymore.It was fine. People had evenings. Freya and Nyx went places and did things and came back when they were ready, and there was nothing unusual about that.Except they usually let me know.I checked my phone twice in a row. Nothing from either of them.I put the phone face down on the bed and told myself to stop checking it.The room felt quieter than it normally did in the evenings, the particular quiet of a space that was meant to hold three people and was only holding one.I looked at Freya's side of the room, the jacket on the back of her chair, the half-finished water bottle on her desk. I looked at Nyx's neatly made bed, the book closed on the nightstand at exactly the right angle.I closed my notebook, set it on the desk, and stayed sitting on the edge of the bed for

Elara's POVThe letter was short.One paragraph. A handful of sentences. The kind of thing that didn't need to be long because the point didn't require elaboration."If you want to see your friends again come to the border close to Vespera. If you don't, you'll never see them again."I read it twice.Not because I didn't understand it the first time. Because I was giving myself the two seconds it took to let the full weight of it land and decide what I was going to do with it.The letter was exactly what I knew it would be the moment Emily described it. Not an apology. Not an explanation. A demand, dressed in the language of a threat, written by someone who knew exactly what leverage she was holding and how to use it.I looked up at Emily.She was watching me with the expression she wore every time something in this conversation moved faster than she could follow, waiting for me to say something that would make sense of it."What did you just do."It didn't come out as a question. I d

Elara's POVI walked until the corridor ended, then I kept walking.There was no decision to make. There was only the letter in my pocket and the border close to Vespera and the fact that every second I spent standing inside this building was a second my friends were somewhere I wasn't.I heard Ravin's voice in my head as I moved through the corridor, not literally, just the memory of it settling over everything the way it always did when I was about to do something he told me not to do."Don't come looking for me. Don't leave school grounds no matter what."I remembered the night he said it. The seriousness in his face, the weight of it. He didn't give instructions lightly. Every word he laid out for me came from somewhere real, from a calculation he already ran about what could go wrong if I didn't listen.And I knew, more than I knew most things, that he was right.Kol was out there. The Vespera pack was out there. The things that moved in the dark beyond Draven's borders were real
