SUMMERWe were supposed to leave for the human city today. I'd been eagerly awaiting the date they promised me, too excited to think of anything else. Different scenarios went through my head as I tried to imagine how the day would go. Which was why I rose early this morning. I didn't take the sleeping drugs they left for me, opting to fight with my demons today if it meant I got to wake up early for the date. Mr Lover didn't call in the evening of that day as he promised, but I woke up the next morning to the horror of my life. Hanging on the seal of the window of my room was a dead man. My mates had to change my room after that because I couldn't even step foot in it without thinking of the horrible scene. They assured me we would change houses after they settled everything, and I couldn't wait for that. I didn't tell them of the message I got and they didn't ask, not that they knew what they would ask about. They were yet to tell me what they discussed with Jeremy, which was why

MITCHI couldn't tell what took place after we arrived at the school and rushed to the hall to get Jeremy. Everything happened so fast. Someone blew a powder in the air, stunning us. We didn't think it was something serious until we noticed a shift in the air. A rage blinded me, so intense that I couldn't think of anything else. What I wanted was to shred everything in my way, and anyone, to claw at my body and rip my heart off. I'd never felt such resentment before. It seemed like there was a raging storm in my heart, and I wanted it out. I tried to rid myself of such a murderous thought by thinking of our mate, but it wasn't working. Though it didn't grip me hard whenever I thought of her, there was this feeling I got just from it. Yelling in frustration, I fell to the ground. I heard sounds next to me. It sounded oddly like people fighting and someone arguing, but I couldn't tell for sure whether or not my mind was playing tricks on me. I screamed, ripping off my shirt as I rol

I stepped towards them on shaky legs, my gaze taking everything in, from their bruised faces to their chest. I doubt any human would have survived what they did because of the wounds they had on their bodies. I got to Mike's bed since it was the first one from the door. Touching him, I sniffed back the tears that threatened to fall like a broken dam. He didn't react to my touch, a first for him.I'd never been able to sneak up on them because of how sharp and sensitive their noses were. They always caught me before I could sneak on them, which wasn't fair. Leaving Mike's side, I went over to the others, touching them and hoping they would open their eyes to look at me, to tell me that everything was going to be okay. I needed their reassurance now, more than I ever did, and wanted to hear them tell me how much they loved me and would keep me safe. None of them stirred as I touched them. Mitch had the most wounds and his lips looked like something he had bitten on countless times. T

SUMMERStorm came back in the afternoon with the teacher. I had just gone to check on my mates before I returned to Jeremy's hospital room to plan the next thing to do. Jeremy had just finished eating lunch when we got a knock on his door. Storm stepped in and a woman followed. She looked so young. Had I not known who she was, I might have thought her a junior nurse practising for the profession.She had her beautiful red hair in a bun. The glasses she wore made her face rounder and more innocent. “Good morning, Luna,” she greeted, smiling nervously at me.I blinked, wondering why everyone I met today had been using that title on me. Was there something no one was telling me? I nodded, beaming at her. “Please have a seat,” I said, l gesturing to the visitor's chair in the room. I was sitting on the one next to the bed. This way, I didn't need to turn to see them. “Thank you.” Smiling at me, she sat on the chair and Storm followed, looking as stiff as he did during the drive. Had

“Have we met before?” I asked the man, staring at him with my eyebrows raised. Though I was certain I'd never met him before, his voice sounded oddly familiar, like I'd heard it before. “Nope, we haven't.” Sighing, he sat up, looking at us with a sacred expression on his face. “Is he coming for me?” He asked.“Fred?” He nodded. “I'm the only one remaining in our group that knows about his past life as the Scorpion. When I heard of the death of one of our friends, I knew my time was near. He wouldn't leave me, knowing how many of his secrets I know.”“It's alright. He won't harm you,” I promised, smiling at the man who looked like his heart might leap out of his chest in fear. “What if he does? I got a message from an unknown person yesterday. I bet he's the one, and he's coming to hurt me.”“No, he won't,” Jeremy reassured, beating me to it. “As long as you tell us everything about him, we will protect you. He won't hurt you, okay?”He looked as if he didn't believe Jeremy's words,
