Flynn grinned. “When you’ve finally got us all to yourself?”

My pulse picked up as I saw the malice dancing in his eyes.

Despair rose in my chest like vomit, but I shoved back my tears.

I’d… I’d misread everything.

Again. Over and over again, I didn’t know how to translate this world I’d fled to beyond the Estate.

They can’t discover you’re their mate.That warning was sure, despite every misdirected instinct that had led me here.

If they knew, it would be worse. I didn’t mean anything to them—not really. This was a game for them. Right now, I could see that.

Ithadto stay that way.

I bit my lip so my chin didn’t quiver as I glanced at last to Gareth, in hopes I might find something on his face in the way of mercy.

I found nothing. He was tense, blue eyes fixed on me with anticipation.

My scent had always been a secret with sharp edges, ones that had been cutting me open from the inside for so long. And in one moment, it became something completely different. Something precious, something mine.

I’d arrived at Rookwood Academy at the start of term. I’d found my mates. They were sweet and caring and they wanted me.

I was with them right now.

Eric’s fist wasn’t so painful in my hair.

Flynn was behind me, kneeling too, one hand at my waist, the other constricting my throat.

It was good.
