Chapter Nine

The only person I wanted to see was Henry, but I hadn’t see him all day. I wanted to ask about Mags. Had she been telling the truth? And if it was true, why didn’t Henry mention it to me? It wasn’t like we’d have the boyfriend and girlfriend conversation. We’d kissed a few times but that didn’t make a relationship. Mags obviously thought that something was going on between us. Did Henry break up with her when he got back to the Academy?

And she figured it had something to do with me?

I hated having so many unanswered questions and nobody to talk to about it. Gilly was in her room and while we might be friends I still didn’t feel comfortable talking to her about it. That left my brother and I really didn’t want to have that conversation with him. I sat on the windowsill and looked out of the window. That left finding Henry. He was probably somewhere in the Academy unless Arturo had sent him out somewhere on assignment. I picked up my phone and sent him a message. When I didn’t hear back from him, I sent a message to my brother. Michael confirmed that Henry was in the Academy. He’d gotten back a few hours ago and as far as Michael knew he would be in his room on campus. He told me where it was. My phone beeped again. You know you’re not allowed to walk around the grounds at night, right? I didn’t know that, but it was something I suspected. Could I wait until the morning before I talked to him? And give Mags more time to plan another attack?

Nope.

I put my shoes on and pulled out a map of the grounds. Something Henry had given me when he’d handed me my books. I worked out the quickest route and then discarded it before I looked at the window. I was on the first floor. Which I could probably leave that way and work myself around. There were plenty of trees which I could hide behind. I folded the map and slipped in it my back pocket and grabbed my jacket. Then I unlatched the window and pushed it up. Brisk cold air hit me in the face before I swung my leg over the windowsill and slipped out.

I hadn’t spent much time outside the Academy, but it sure looked different in the dark. The trees were a more looming and unyielding presence. Twigs snagged on my clothes. A wolf howled somewhere, and my breath caught in my throat. Where the Alphas out hunting somewhere? They wouldn’t do that near the school, would they? That would be a terrible idea.

Wouldn’t it?

I pushed the disconcerting thought to the back of my mind. Sure, I could get back and nobody would have noticed that I was gone, but I was committed now. Moving from tree to tree and making sure that I blended in. It wouldn’t make any difference since shifters had a stronger sense of smell.
