“You okay?” He leaned back against the couch, eyes narrowing slightly. “You didn’t even ask who she’s inviting.” “It’s just friends, Tristan.” “Friends,” he repeated, almost scoffing. “That’s what they all say.” “You’re paranoid,” I said lightly, though the edge in his tone made my chest tighten.

The uneasy alliance with Lyra’s pack now teetered on the brink, threatened by the rising tide of paranoia, and the seeds of doubt had begun to poison the very heart of our own community. The insidious seeds of paranoia, once subtle whispers in the shadows, began to sprout into tangible acts of distrust.

JUNE’S POV My heart began a slow, heavy thud against my ribs. No. It was impossible. It was my own paranoia, my miserable life looking for shadows everywhere. Sarah was my best friend. Franklin was… well, Franklin was a cheater, but with secretaries like Karen. Not with my best friend. Not for nineteen years. The sheer scale of that was too monstrous to even hold in my head.
