Follow instructions once inside. I checked in at the security booth, got a temporary pass and the house key. The guard verified my order before letting me in. I turned on my phone’s audio recorder right away—better safe than sorry, especially in a wealthy community with strict rules. I didn’t want trouble over a simple errand.

The warmth there pulsed, slow and steady, grounding me in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time. Finally, he drew in a slow breath and stepped back, the space between us widening again, though it didn’t feel like enough. “You should keep the ointment,” he said quietly. “It’ll help the marks fade faster.” I nodded again, my voice a whisper. “Thank you.” He gave a faint, almost tired smile. “You don’t have to thank me for that.” He stood then, running a hand through his hair like he was trying to shake off whatever had just passed between us. I sat there a little longer, fingers brushing my neck where his touch still lingered.

Mr Hunt snapped. “Sorry sir was just asking for the page number, but I have all my attention focused on you,” Taine replied, and a few people laughed. Mr Hunt waited until they were silent and continued explaining. “What page was it again?” He whispered. “Page look it up.” I sarcastically replied, and he laughed. “Sir please remind me what a line of latitude is,” Taine called out pretending to be listening. How does he get that right? Mr Hunt smiled at the request and began explaining.

I nod my head too. “You mean to say that all the force you’ve been using since a while ago is you trying to get yourself into were mode?” he asks. “Yes” “Well no, you don’t need to use force when getting into were mode, it’s actually the opposite, a free stance, you’ve gotten it before right?” I nod yes in response to him. “Then all you need to do is channel that memory to your now practice”

We make it to the club and Cain walks over to my door and opens it for me then helps me out. "Thanks" I say blushing. Spotting Cain we make our way over to him. "Hey guys." Leo says. "You look good Zara." I lower my head blushing "thanks." I say. "Come on. I want a drink." Cain says pulling us up to the front of the line. "Don't we have to wait?" I question. "Not when my brother is the owner." He says with a smirk.

I tapped accept. A line appeared on the screen. [Assignment term: three years. Destination: Havenmist branch. Please report to your assigned location by this Saturday.] Today was Wednesday. There were three days left before both my wedding and my departure. Simon Carver saw me looking down at my phone, and his frown deepened. "Maren, I'm talking to you." I locked my phone and looked up at him. "Mm. I heard you." He probably hadn't expected me to be so calm.

Something in my chest that has been in one position for eleven days shifts. "Vienna reported in this morning." He crosses to my desk. Sets down a single printed page with the deliberate care of someone who has thought carefully about how to deliver something. "Prague went dark yesterday. Lisbon haven't responded to three separate messages." He pauses. His voice doesn't change — he's too good for that — but something behind his eyes does. "The degradation pattern is consistent across all five bloodlines. Starts eleven days ago. Simultaneously." Another pause. "To the hour."

I walked over to the long line of glass mirrors hanging above the perimeter sinks, my hands trembling as I reached down to fix the hem of my twisted skirt and pull my oversized sweater back down over my hips. I looked up at my reflection, my breath catching instantly in my throat. I reached down, my shaking fingers pulling the waistband of my skirt slightly to the side. Right there, forming directly over my pale hip bone, was a dark, deep purple mark. It was shaped perfectly by the heavy print of Leo's fingers, a brutal, undeniable brand burning into my skin where nobody else in this school would ever see it.

"Good morning class. We have a new student amongst us today. Can you please stand and introduce yourself?" I confidently stand up from my seat beside Thea. "Hello everyone. I'm Onda. Onda Silver Thorne." "Talk about weird names." A male voice behind me says causing some people to snicker. I ignore him and continue. “I’m 17 years old and I’m from…” I can’t say Zorah now can I? Say Australia. "Australia?" That came out more as a question. "Where in Australia?" The teacher asks. Katherine. "Katherine?" That also came out as a question.
