ARIA I turn and see Lex next to a black Range Rover. I haven’t seen him for a few days and to me…he looks tired. What has he been doing all those days? Maybe I was hasty to come to a conclusion that he avoids me, maybe… My trail of thought is ruined when he turns his back on me and walks away, fists clenched.

We both pretend that this awkward encounter just now didn’t happen, and it makes me feel a bit better. Off to the important stuff! Today I am going to shift for the first time! “And it’s going to be amazing!” Lyra says in my mind, making me smile. “Is that your wolf?” Hunter asks as we drive out of the Springwood
