I was woken by my phone vibrating non-stop. I opened Pack Net. The homepage was live-streaming the opening ceremony of the Centennial Hunt. The drone footage showed Caspen and Victoria, side-by-side on the highest viewing platform, leaders of their packs. The comments were still going crazy over the "dream couple."

Why was my heart beating this way? These were dangerous heartbeats. I shouldn't be loving Alfredo Miller again, but here I was, totally smitten by him.

All those years, it was there somewhere hidden in my heart, waiting for the right time to sprout again.

I hated that I couldn't see her. "No," Kianna’s voice drifted through the wood, thin and reedy. "Wait. Actually… I don't feel right. My head… it’s spinning. My skin feels like ice, but I feel like I'm burning up. My heart—Ares, my heart is beating so hard I can’t catch my breath."

She muttered at Dasha who shrugged. “I thought too…I just learned it also now.” She replied then opened her Twitter app again. “Damn, this boy is trending in the app again.” Aurora then caught her father glancing at her, checking if she was okay and she smiled at him, reassuring him that she was fine.
