Like I’d killed someone. Their audacity was shocking. Zane and the Hounds had spent years bullying me. Bullying others. Smashing someone’s face into cake was nothing in comparison. Ajax had once almost set fire to my hair. And now they were judging me for fighting back against someone who hurt my friend? It was ridiculous….

The words barely left my mouth before Rhonda’s smirk vanished. Her body twitched once like something had seized her mind. Then she walked stiffly to the table, leaned over the cake, and shoved her face right into the frosting. The cafeteria exploded. Gasps, laughter, and then the sound of phones clicking on. She stood up,…

I offered him no reply. Sometimes, I’d simply shoot him a glare and he’d sigh and leave. But I was getting tired now. Of the monotony. Of not being able to step outside. Not being able to contact The Order again. Or anybody else at all. It felt like my life was too still. Too…

We pulled away, my eyes turning black, magic shimmering around her. We exchanged a glance and then jumped to our feet, all the warmth between us gone in an instant. “That came from the west woods,” she said, closing her eyes to focus. I was already moving, but not without grabbing her wrist like she…

“But it would have, if it weren’t for you.” He closed his eyes, leaning into my touch like it grounded him. “I owe you my life.” I smiled, brushing a thumb over his brow. “No, you don’t. I owe you mine. You’ve saved me so many times I’ve lost count. If I never met you……

“I’m not scared of her hurting me,” Zane said, walking in and standing in front of us like he was reporting for duty. “I’m scared of losing her. Of her getting hurt. She brought me back to life, Aaron. She’s stronger than all of us combined. She’s not just my Luna. She’s the love of…

“Now try to turn back,” Zane said, grabbing a shawl from the closet. He threw it onto me, so as soon as I’d turned back, I’d be completely covered with the shawl. My heart warmed at the gesture. This man’s consideration was beyond anything I’d ever seen. He was truly the kindest person I knew….

She looked… sure. Too sure. There was something smug in her smile. Something practiced in her posture. She was different. And I wasn’t sure it was a good thing. She scanned the crowd and landed on me. Our eyes locked for half a second before she offered this tight little smile, like she knew exactly…

He shook his head. “I’m not.” “You are.” I sat up straighter. “Is it about the bond?” “No.” “Then what is it? You act like it’s dangerous or something.” Zane sighed and stood up, walking back to the chair. He rubbed his hands over his face, avoiding my eyes again. “It’s not dangerous, my love,”…

A shiver crawled through me, but I clenched my jaw harder, refusing to let it show. “But I can’t,” she added softly, tracing her hand down the side of my face. “Not the way you think. Witches can’t force emotions. That’s a werewolf thing-you guys use bonds, scent, instincts. You mess with each other’s heads…
