Chapter 23
After a rushed kiss, Maria hurried off. Tom assumed she had gone to steal him some water from the Fountain of Angels. He wasnât sure how he felt about the idea of drinking the water before passing the test.
It was cheating, wasnât it?
Getting caught seemed unlikely. Drinking from the fountain wouldnât change his appearance in any way. He could drink the water, gain his angel strength, do whatever he was supposed to do, pass the test and then drink the water again. No one would know.
He supposed it all came down to how he felt about cheating.
They were going to send him into the home of the wolves, where according to Maria, he was going to probably die.
And all because heâd told Janine to leave?
Tom decided he didnât feel bad about cheating.
He began the slow walk back up the hill towards the armoury, swinging the sword in hand. As he reached the top, he found Jacob waiting for him on the front porch.
He wasnât alone.
Janine was there.
Carly too.
She was wearing clothes for a change.
Not much.
She wore a short dress that barely covered her waist. It had a plunging neckline. The sheer material was so thin, he could see her tits and the thin line of her pussy.
Carly wasnât wearing anything underneath the dress.
âTom,â Jacob stepped off the porch and walked towards him. âLetâs go for a walk,â he said as a he placed a hand on his shoulder.
âWhatâs up?â Tom asked, though he had a good idea of what the hell was up.
Jacob waited until they were about a hundred feet away from the armoury before he spoke. âYou know about the test that Descendants have to take before they can drink from the Fountain of Angels. Well, tomorrow you set off for your test.â
âOkay. Cool,â Tom said nonchalantly.
âYour test is to go to the Wolf Camp and retrieve a rose flower from their central garden.â
âAnything else?â Tom asked.
Jacob shook his head. âThatâs it really.â
âYou had to walk me down here to say that?â
Jacob crossed his arms across his chest, his face setting. âYou know why youâre going to the Wolf Camp?â
âBecause I told Janine to get lost?â
âIt might not seem like it, but there is more to Descendants than this school. There is a whole world of us out there. There are rules and important families. We are all little pieces of a much larger picture. And we all need to know our place in that picture.â
Tom couldnât help but laugh. âI donât know what you were going for with that speech, but it was just so stupid.â
Jacobâs face hardened. âYouâll be leaving tomorrow. The Cursed one will go with you.â
âWhy?â Tom asked, anger building inside him.
âDo you know where the wolf camp is?â
ââ¦no,â Tom said, his eyes faltering.
âCarly has been chosen to take you there,â Jacob said, his voice softening.
âYou know her name,â Tom said. It was the first time heâd heard a Descendant refer to the Cursed by name.
âYouâve got a dangerous task ahead of you, going into the camp of wolves.
