RAINE
Vaughn is here.
In Saints Cross.
On the grounds of All Hallows’.
It’s the only thought that has consumed my mind ever since I stumbled back to my room in a daze, after he threatened me.
After he ruined my life.
Again.
I should have known that things were too good to be true. That the second I let my guard down something would happen.
Only, I expected Theo to be the one who shattered the fragile little life I’ve built here.
Not Vaughn Ronson.
God, just his name sends a violent shudder through me.
He’s here.
It’s the worst possible thing that could ever have happened and yet, in a strange way, part of me isn’t surprised he found me. He always said that he’d never let me run.
My phone vibrates and fear paralyses me.
When we parted ways, he said he’d be watching. I didn’t expect him to contact me so soon.
But it isn’t Vaughn.
It’s Theo.
With shaky hands, I unlock my screen and open the message.
Theo: If you’re trying to blow me off, it won’t work. I meant every word I said, Raine. You’re mine.
“Fuck.”
Fuck.
I squeeze my eyes shut wishing I could wake up from this nightmare.
Theo: I know I said I’d give you space, but your radio silence is kind of denting my ego, sunshine…
Raine: Sorry. Therapy was intense.
Theo: Shit. Do you need me to come over? I bet I can think of a few ways to help you get out of your head.
