“This can’t be,” Ivy says for the hundredth time, glancing down at the memos spread out on the table again. “I mean, how can they possibly know?”

“There’s no reason to doubt it, is there?” Quinn replies. She’s pacing back and forth by the windows of her suite, where the rest of our group has gathered to debrief on our findings. I can’t help but notice that everyone else has—consciously or unconsciously—chosen to sit at the opposite end of the table as me… with the exception of Atlas, who’s in the chair next to me, his strong hands closed around mine. He’s rubbing absent circles on my knuckles, his expression pensive, and the fact that I can’t tell what he’s thinking only makes it worse.

“She’s right,” Nick says, crossing his arms. “I mean, what would be the point? Plant these messages on the off-chance that one of us finds them? The werebears aren’t smart enough for that kind of gambit.”

“Besides,” Tobias adds, “they’ve already proven that their agenda matches what’s written here.” His eyes dart briefly to me before he looks quickly away. “They’ve been trying to take a Wolf Witch prisoner. Now we know why.”

“You really think this is it?” Ivy presses, shooting me a concerned look. “Would they really have changed their whole strategy because of Nyx?”

“If they think she has angel blood,” Quinn says, “then yes.”

Unable to stand it anymore, I straighten up in my chair. “Stop talking about me like I’m not here.”

All the other eyes in the room turn to me. “Nyx…” Tobias begins, starting forward.

“Please,” I say, looking down at the table, “don’t. Just… don’t.”

“Hey.” Atlas squeezes my hands. “We don’t know any of this is true.”

“Don’t we?” I retort, turning to him. “I mean, we’ve heard it from the demons themselves since day one. The only beings with light magic have historically been angels.” It’s a truth I’ve been afraid of speaking out loud, especially in the aftermath of our mission, but there’s no avoiding it now.

“That’s just the working theory, though,” Ivy puts in. “I mean, angels haven’t come to earth in centuries; isn’t that what they always say?”

“That’s true,” I admit, latching on to what she’s saying for all I’m worth. I don’t want to consider the possibility that there’s something wrong with me: that I could potentially be not just an outcast from my community, but an outcast from the closest thing I’ve had to a home since the Gray Moon Pack kicked me out.

“I’d go as far as to say your heritage isn’t the more pressing issue,” Quinn says, turning away from the windows to look at me. “Unless there’s someone else at the Academy that we aren’t aware of who uses light magic, the werebears know you have it. More than that, it sounds like they’ve built their new strategy around finding a way to counter your powers, Nyx.”

“Great,” I mutter, putting my head in my hands. “So I’m not just a freak; I’m the freak responsible for bringing the werebears straight to our doorstep.
