Prince Reagan

I step clocrtomy bed to take a good look at it after Gina angrily stormed out of the room. It was neatly laid just as I had left it last night. The only thing different about it

was the claw mates on the pillow. Il lightly brushed my

I shake my head, naill lost. “But why I didn’t do

anything to her last night.” I da remember the death Elan

pointed at me when Reagan had called me into the

puckhouse, ilhadn’t known the reason then and hadn’t taken

it seriously.

Lana stares at me before sigting wally and coming to sit

beside me

“Teu didn’t do anything.” She places one hand on my

Now I know why Gina had glared like that at me

she-wolves that were at the ceremony are also pissed at me:

“Hell, I doubt Brad or Alpha Bandan will be able to keep

“So the roman are true. Why didn’t you tell me this

“Oh, come on, Lana. And get shamed for being

“But still..I wouldn’t have mentioned it to anyone.

stands to demonstrate her words, making a smile gracedy

“No, you wouldn’t.”

“No, I wouldn’t.” She agrees with a hod and sit back to

She turns to me when Lask, “Afternoon classi”

“Kinda, are you going to yours?”

“No, too chidien ta face all these stares. Maybel shouldn’t have come until the gossips died down.” I sigh

before lying down on my bed to stare up at the ceilings.

“So better face them now than later. Don’t worry

catching her off guard, rateful she’s here to upport me.

“Thank you.” I whisper in her ear: “Anytime, prl.”

We stay ilappidön my bed for some time, quiet and lost in aur thoughts before she announces she had to go shower. I remain there and take out my phone or she leaves. I did my mum’s number and she answers on the

second ring

“Elle weetie7 is that your Her urgent voice is the first thing I hear

“Oh, thank the moon. Where are you? Please tell me,

dear, and I’ll come and meet you right away.” I can hear the

relief and concern in her voice as she exhales.

“I’m fine, muin. I’m actually at school. Where are you?

“You’re at school?” The shock is evident in her tone. She

definitely didn’t think I would still be in California or even

allowed to walk around so freely by now.

“I’ll explain everything later. Il be at home in thirty minutes. Please tell dad to come too.” I say before telling her

bye and end the call.

Usually, from home to school is more than an hour,

which is why I decided to stay in the school dormitory. But if I run in my wolierm, I should make it in thty or maybe

less.

I can’t run or hide from Heran, so I decide to pack

some of my stult in aduffel bag Same clothes since I can‘t continue using Lexi’s, some shoes, my hair products and some other necessities. When I’m done, Lana comes out of the shower to see me packed and ready to go. I explain I’m going to max my parents and luckily spend some time before making it back to school to follow Lepihack to Reagan’. Guess I won’t be able to attending of my classes today.

Lana nods in understanding but made me promise to call herifi needed any het. I bid har padaye before going cut the door. I had replaced my jaket with a hoodie so I can hide my face from everyone else before making it to the woods at the back of the campus. I still receive some stares, probably because of my new strange aura, but they flatly lenore me when they see the hideous hoodie i’m hidden in.

I can’t express the amount of relief i feel when reaching

the woods. I walk further in, listening for any sign of

So who could be visiting us at this tidie? My dad motions for

I can’t see who the person is but a familiar scént hits my

Even my wolf perks up at the scent, wanting to see
