ONCE THE SHOWER STARTED, I plugged my phone to charge but left it turned off on the nightstand. I needed a moment of quiet to process everything that had happened.

Had it really been just yesterday that we met? I used to think action movies were ridiculous for packing so much into so little time, and yet...

The sun had barely set, but neither of us were in any condition to travel, so we might as well stay here to recuperate. Besides, we didn’t have a car anymore. Nor did I have any of my belongings.

Now that I was alone, my mind wandered back to the brutal scene that led us here.

A sharp ache filled the spots in my heart that hadn’t yet broken at the thought of Alice and her coven. I didn’t get to meet any of them, but they were all real people with real lives. How many had survived? How many had rejoined nature?

Despite myself, I was glad that Kol had agreed to travel with me. If he hadn’t been there today, I might not have survived. No. I know I wouldn’t have. I wouldn’t be here now if it weren’t for him. He was a monster. He was ruthless.

But this ruthless monster was on my side—for now.

I knew nothing else about him, and he knew little about me. Yet we were two very different people of two different races tethered together, keeping the other alive.

If we were going to stay alive, I needed more information about the attack. Who were those assailants? Was I right about thinking there were two groups of attackers? It seemed like the group of hooded archers attacked the witches, while the other group of hooded people were vampires attacking those archers.

The water stopped, pulling me out of my thoughts. Finally turning on my phone, I noticed several messages from Rose and Bella. They were having a tough time deciding on their summer courses because the weather was going to be nice, and they weren’t sure if they wanted to be in school for it. I felt a bittersweet smile spread on my face. I was to be an active participant in this debate because we were all in the same program. But now, I wasn’t sure when—or if—I would be back. Wishing them the best of luck, I closed the chat, ignoring the hollow feeling in my heart that magnified every time I thought about the life I could have led.

Would I ever go back? Maybe.

Would it ever be the same? Never.

How does someone return to their old life after discovering she came from a family of witches who once ruled the Shadow world? How does she sit in class and do her homework knowing anyone could be a Shadow? How would she take her final exams knowing there was so much more to learn about her family and her history?

Kol entered the room with just a towel, and I immediately averted my gaze. But not before I glimpsed his healed—and incredibly fit—body, free of marring from any wounds.
