QuirinaThe plane ride was quiet, neither Bryce nor I spoke as we flew to my parents. The entire time he held my hand, letting me know that he is here for me if and when I choose to talk.I don’t want to talk. I want to get there now and make sure that they’re okay. When the plane lands Bryce just gives me a tight-lipped smile. I thank the pilot and we get off. Bryce asks me, “So, how do we get there?”I smile softly, “Leave that to me.”At that moment a car pulls up and an older man comes out and says, “A pleasure to see you, Ms. Stone, Mr. Lake.”I nod at the valet and both Bryce and I get in the car and it takes off in the direction I need it to. I know that we will have to walk a bit later, but for now I just lean my head on Bryce’s shoulder and enjoy the ride. He looks out the window, watching as the world passes on around us. I sit up when the valet asks, “Are you here to meet up with the rest of them?”I frown, “Who?”This causes him to frown and he remarks, “The other ones fro

QuirinaThe room is too quiet, too cold, too… unnerving.The headmaster looks at me, I’m currently cursing myself for not asking his name. The fact that he knows mine but I don’t know his makes me uneasy. He smiles at me and says, “I don’t know where your parents are, Ms. Stone.”I narrow my eyes at him and spit out, “Liar.”The corner of his mouth twitches up in an amused smirk, like he is enjoying knowing that he is able to get a rise out of me. I want to punch him in the face for it.He gestures towards the chair and says, “Please, take a seat, let us talk like adults.” The way he speaks to me is patronizing, my hands ball up into fists out of frustration. His hazel eyes flicker down to my hands before looking up at me and he says, “I assume you would want to do things properly considering you are about to take the Alpha position. You don’t want to start off with a bad reputation.”I snap at him, “I think you and I both know that my reputation doesn’t matter. It already isn’t in st

QuirinaI think most people would find it odd if I told them that I actually thrive off of chaos. But the moment that I zapped the cameras and everything went down, I took off running. I could hear the whole mansion as it descended into chaos. Everyone complaining, trying to keep guard of their current prisoners, and trying too figure out what the hell happened to me.I can’t help but smirk to myself as I run. I don’t know where I’m going or what exactly I’m doing, but I’ve caused enough chaos that I have time to search without instantly getting caught. I find a stairwell and run down it as fast as my legs can carry me. The first door I see on my right, I open to turn into only to be instantly met by a group of five warriors. I close the door back and take off running back down the stairs, I hear them behind me. Fear is gripping my heart now as I am more panicked than before.I enjoy chaos, but I don’t enjoy the adrenaline that comes with it. It makes me struggle to think clearly and

QuirinaBryce, Charlie, and Harper and I headed home after only two days after the fight. There weren’t many survivors left that were a part of the trafficking ring, but there were tons of kids in the school. My parents along with Magnolia and Hendrix are meeting up with other pack leaders and trying to split up the rest of the people appropriately. There will be no more Supernatural Academy and no more trafficking.I mean, we know it’s impossible to completely abolish all trafficking, but we have done our part and this has helped to take down a huge contributor. I’m ready to be back home, the desire to be some place familiar and to unwind after all the recent events. Bryce had marked me, but I still haven’t marked him, it hasn’t felt right. He’s practically buzzing and glowing with some energy he has now. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know he received some of the powers that I absorbed.I haven’t even discovered everything I absorbed in that moment. I was so desperate to be
