Chapter 16

Toby

I closed my office door and leaned against it, exhausted. My last student appointment for the day had just ended. It had been a brutal afternoon—one appointment after another. Each person more confused than the last about something on the upcoming exam. If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought some of them hadn’t paid a bit of attention all session.

Part of me wanted to recline in my chair and sleep, but there was too much to do. I needed to find out if Victoria had spoken with Carter or if Gessilyn had figured anything out about either Victoria’s new mark or the cursed body still on my property.

We really needed to get rid of that thing. What if the police were looking for it? I hadn’t heard about any missing persons, but that didn’t mean there weren’t any, and people already had some crazy rumors going around about Moonhaven.

I yawned and ignored my aching muscles. It was funny how mental exhaustion was almost worse than physical exertion. Confused college students put more strain on me than fighting enormous, powerful supernatural creatures. I laughed at the thought.

My stomach rumbled, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten since breakfast. I wanted to see Victoria, but she was probably bogged down with her own studies. I didn’t want to pull her away from them. I’d just eat at home with the pack. Then I’d call her later if she didn’t call me first. I didn’t want to be the one responsible for her not getting her studies done.

Bleary-eyed, I collected my things and headed out of my office. Roger and some of the other math professors were gathered together.

I nodded toward them and headed for the stairs.

“Hey, Foley,” Roger called.

“Yeah?” I stopped and turned toward the group.

“Great game on Friday. Still on for this week, right?”

My exhaustion squeezed me. I smiled. “Of course. Can’t wait.”

Fred elbowed an electrical engineering professor. “Foley’s an animal.”

“Funny.” I shook my head. “Have a good night, guys.”

“You, too,” they all said.

My stomach growled again as I made my way outside into the dark night. I was sure glad that Brick enjoyed cooking. He’d been making my meals for so long—most of the time Victoria had been dead.

When I opened the front door of the mansion, an array of delicious scents greeted me—pot roast, spiced vegetables, creamy sauces, fresh bread, and some type of chicken. My mouth watered.

I threw my bag into my office and hurried into the kitchen. The table was full. Not a seat remained open for me. My entire pack was there along with Gessilyn and her family. I hadn’t even noticed no one had been gathered around the makeshift grave.

Everyone greeted me.

Brick got up. “Sit down, sir.”

“I don’t want to take your seat.”

“We’re about to have some dessert, I need to prepare the sauce to drizzle over it.”

“If you’re sure.”

“I am. Are you okay?”

“Just tired. Can’t wait for these finals to be over.” I grabbed a plate and silverware and took his seat.

“When are finals?” Dillon asked.
