Rachel chewed the inside of her cheek, wincing as pain coursed through her body but she made no movement to hunch over and scream like she wanted to. She was thankful the girls couldn’t see the darkness leaving Rachel’s body like Rachel could see it. When she got back to her dorm, she was pleased
Lila’s POV “Oh, my goddess; did you hear what happened last night?” Kay asked as she ran up to Becca and me in the dining hall. I had a tray of food she almost knocked over in the process of grabbing my arm excitedly. “What’s up?” I asked, trying not to sound too annoyed with her. Looking at h

Lila’s POV 2 years later Asher woke me up bright and early as he did every morning. He’s lucky I love him so much. Enzo wasn’t in bed when I woke up, which made me worried for about 2 seconds before I remembered that he told me he had to clean up his stuff from the arena that morning. It was
