I laughed. “Go on. As whom?”
He rolled his eyes at me. “I wasn’t going to say—”
“Relax, I’m just teasing you.”
“Listen, James,” Spencer sighed, “I know this can be dangerous for you. You didn’t know what you were getting into. And if you want to leave—”
“Spencer,” I squeezed her hand. But before I could say anything, James cut in.
“Are you kidding? No way am I missing this. And besides, no one knows you’re here. Am I right?” He turned his eyes on me. “And believe me when I say that it’s not me I’m worried about.”
“No. No one knows.”
Clare came back, put the coffee cup in front of James, and sank onto the couch under the windows.
“Thank you, Ms. . . .” James glanced at me for help.
“Marshall.”
“You can call me Clare.”

It’s not what you think.
Then what is it?
I got up and pushed my hands into my pockets.
Doesn’t it seem strange to you that you can sense her when she’s not even a wolf yet?
Right.Liam frowned.What’s going on?
She’s not a rogue. She’s a half-witch, like us.
Liam stared at me.

I nodded. “I am,” I said aloud.
Spencer’s eyes darted from Liam to me and back.
He stood thinking for a moment, then took a step forward, looked at Spencer, and smiled.
