This was not standard procedure, and Bianca wanted to shout that at the woman who was far too calm for Bianca's frayed nerves. The library door had been locked by the elderly librarian with a key she carried in her pocket. A few minutes later, they heard a key go into the door and heard it engage to open.

She wandered toward the library, somewhere quiet, somewhere with books that might hold answers about bonds, about poison, about what happened when a human carried a wolf’s claim. The library door was ajar. She pushed it open. Inside, moonlight fell through tall windows in silver bars across the floor. A figure stood at the far end, back to her, hooded cloak the color of midnight.

I shoved away from him and grabbed the book, slamming it open on the table. “This is what matters. This stupid book is the only thing in this word I know that gives some kind of answer at least. No one else knows shit about it." Suddenly Rowan looked away from me to sniff the air, instantly becoming alert and pulling me one step behind him as a dark shadow spilt across the floor.

One by one, the girls entered the library. Elizabeth returned first, her expression tight. “That woman is nonsense,” she snapped. But her hands trembled slightly. “What did she say?” Mary teased. “Nothing of worth.” More girls went in. More girls came out, giggling or confused. Then the gypsy asked for Anna. Anna stepped into the library. The gypsy sat in Kingsley’s favorite chair, a shawl drawn around her. The fire crackled. “Sit,” the woman said. Anna obeyed.

“Where was all that righteousness when you abandoned Clara? Hmm? Left her alone in that house while you ran off to save yourself?” The words hit like a slap. Gasps rippled. Cameras clicked.
