After all, in his eyes, I was still that girl who followed him without hesitation no matter what he did. Perhaps in this new life, even if we couldn't be husband and wife, we could still be friends. Yet whenever I grew tired from studying and looked up, I caught Vivian glaring at me. One month before the SATs, I walked out of the school gates and headed to the bookstore across the street to buy some reference books. Zachary rushed toward me, holding Vivian in his arms. Her face was pale, and her clothes were stained with blood. Before I could react, he had already blocked my path. "Natalie Hooper!"

The book was dusty and heavy. “This is the only thing that can help us figure out what it is that they want from us. I mean, why do they want us to be out of the way by Saturday.” By the time we got to the end of the book, we noticed that the page had been torn out.

Aria was still speaking when Kira suddenly tore the book into half in one smooth move in front of everyone. Karen's mouth fell open as well as her eyes and Aria stood there in shock. Cassie's minions giggled as though they'd just seen a funny commercial ad. “You tore my book.” Aria muttered, her eyes followed the shreds of papers on the floor. Kira folded her arms across her chest and gave a smirk. “Are you slow to figure that out as well?” “I gave you my book because you said you needed to catch up and you tore it.” Aria spat anger brewing within her.

The King made sure of that. I bit my lip, looking around. “I have to kill the King,” I said. The priest bobbed his head again. Then, wordlessly, he toddled over to the book and picked it up, flipping to a page in the middle—a chunk had been cut out of the pages, leaving a small recess within the book. In it was a small arrow, no more than three inches long, with a razor-sharp red tip. He held it out to me, and I sliced it across my palm, watching as the ruby flared to life.

Mitchell's POV The glider cut through the Blackwood night, soaring on the wind towards the distant Havenwood Sanctuary. But right then, inside the Alpha's main tent of the Blackwood pack… Mitchell stared at the dead-silent mental link – the one that had once tied his soul to Sera’s. Now, it was just… empty. A gnawing emptiness. Panic clawed at him. Three whole hours. Ever since they’d formed that link as pups, this was the first time Sera had ever dared to ignore his call.
