Chapter 72 Charis Kael moved back into the room in long strides, grabbing his jacket from the couch. Then reached for my hand, tugging me gently to his side and said urgently, “Come on, Eamon p> The three of us hurried out of the room, and I couldn’t help but
Chapter 71 Charis I was curled up on Kael’s bed, watching him at his reading table with growing curiosity and lazily tossing popcorn into my mouth. It was his idea for me to stay on his bed; he wanted to be sure I was in his line of vision, and
Chapter 70 Rhett Alpha Terry Thatcher filled the doorway with his presence—tall, broad-shouldered, with the kind of commanding aura that made everyone in a room automatically defer to him. His red hair was just like mine, and the only thing of his that I had was perfectly styled despite what
Chapter 69 Rhett Eamon tried to scramble down from my bed, but I held him. “It’s fine, doc,” I said firmly. “He’s my best friend p> “It doesn’t matter, Alpha Rhett,” the Doctor Maxwell sighed. “You’re in no state to be doing that, especially with the high chances of you
Chapter 68 Slater I stood behind a tall shelf in the library, pretending to browse through old texts on werewolf genealogy while my attention was completely focused on the woman across the aisle. She was impossible to miss. Dressed in a way that screamed expensive taste and newfound wealth. Her
Chapter 67 Charis When I turned, it was Rhett, his eyes were open, and his hands were stretched towards me weakly. I immediately went to his side, hoping the tears at the corner of my eyes would not fall. “I’m sorry you had to see me like this,” he said
Chapter 66 Charis I finally locked the door of the classroom, my fingers trembling slightly from exhaustion. I hid another yawn behind my hand, feeling like I’d been in Ravenshore forever instead of nearly a month. It was already past 4 p.m., almost one hour more than the usual closing
Chapter 65 Charis After we finished, we walked together toward the academic buildings. Kael seemed to be naturally escorting me back to class. We walked together in silence until halfway through, Kai suddenly stopped walking and turned to face me. “Is there something else you’d like to tell me p>
Chapter 64 Charis He nodded and stood up, making his way to the food counter. While he was gone, I sat in the relative quiet of the cafeteria, watching other students laugh and chat over their meals. For a moment, I allowed myself to imagine what it would be like
Chapter 63 Charis “I don’t understand,” I whispered. “You want me to be a girl p> Headmistress Vale narrowed her eyes, arching one brow with irritation. “What don’t you understand, Eamon p> “Everything,” I replied honestly. My mind was still spinning from the slap, the threats, the video; everything. She
Chapter 62 Charis After my first two classes, I was finally starting to feel like I might survive Ravenshore. Just before break time, a Sentinel appeared in the doorway of our classroom. He didn’t say a word, just scanned the room until his eyes found me, then jerked his head
Chapter 61 Charis My eyes widened with shock at the nomination. I whipped around to look at Phil, who wore a satisfied smile that made my stomach churn. This was a trap. Phil’s apology had been fake; this was a way to bully me. Being Class Alpha would give them
Chapter 60 Charis I finally reached my classroom, a smile on my face and my heart still fluttering from the morning’s unexpected tenderness with Kael. The building wasn’t difficult to locate; it took me just two turns, and I arrived, coupled with the fact that I spotted a few familiar
Chapter 59 Charis Rhett rushed to Slater, waving the paper like a victory flag. “Look at this! He gets the VIP treatment while we, his supposed best friends, get treated worse than his enemies p> Since Slater’s hands were wet with dishwater, he couldn’t take the paper. “What does it
Chapter 58 Charis “Girlfriend?” Slater chuckled, looking at Rhett, who burst into laughter. “It’s a boy, dearest brother. Most of the boys at Ravenshore love themselves more than they love women, and the school turns a blind eye to it. Anyways, stay away from a guy with the dirty red
Chapter 57 Charis Rhett sighed. “I came to check on Eamon,” he said. “I didn’t expect to see you here. Kael didn’t even mention you were here p> Slater smiled and pushed off the counter, slapping Rhett on the shoulder. “He’s all yours,” he said with a wink and strolled
Chapter 56 Charis I stood stiffly in front of the bathroom mirror, the steam from my earlier shower still clinging to the edges of the glass. I was naked, except for the bottoms I had on. I watched our reflection—the quiet focus in Slater’s eyes as he applied ointment onto
Chapter 55 Kael Slater snickered, the fighting leaving his posture. “Says the boy who had a boner kissing another boy. Come to think of it, how did you know they were all drugged, that if Eamon had drunk that wine or eaten that cake, he would have been drugged too
Chapter 54 Kael I bolted from the room just as two warriors rounded the corner, their weapons drawn. Without hesitation, I took the opposite corridor, trying to run and still be stealthy. In the next few minutes, the quiet facility turned into a maze of running boots and shouted orders.
Chapter 53 Kael I couldn’t sleep. Not that I was much of a sleeper anyway, but my wolf, Black, had been restless all night. Eamon’s scent was driving him crazy, and me too. It had taken all my willpower not to cave in to my wolf’s demands and cross the
