IT FELT A little bit like going home as we arrived at the tiny house on the beach. Although the building was painted white and looked nothing like the Mills farm, it had a similar vibe to it. A warmth seeped out of every crack in the plaster and the curls of paint at the window frames. A low fence ran around the property bordering a small patch of land with a bench seat facing the sea. I longed to sit and stare at the ocean but the three children we’d rescued needed help.

‘The infusion I gave them should help with the convulsions and hopefully counteract the effects of the poison.’ Sebastian filled in the anxious parents as they crowded around the children in a spare bedroom. I watched from the doorway and felt a sense of pride as he handled them with care and consideration.

He hadn’t even managed that with me on our first meeting, in fact, he’d been so cold and calculating that I half suspected he regretted having a hormonal teenager dumped into his life. I watched as he scooped up the young girl and fluffed the pillow beneath her head, settling her more comfortably. He checked their pulse points, replenished the moist flannels on their foreheads, and cautiously engaged with their werewolf parents on the health of their offspring.

‘Can’t believe it’s the same man from a few months ago, can you?’ Adam folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the doorframe. His dark skin still glistened from the exertion of carrying the children through the forest to safety.

‘Mmm, he’s made a remarkable turnaround.’

Adam raised an eyebrow as he glanced across at me and I rolled away from the doorframe and walked further along the corridor to a small window overlooking the beach.

‘You don’t sound convinced,’ he said catching up to me. I knew there’d been a hint of scepticism in my tone and I also knew Adam would pick up on that as I was fairly certain both he and Elizabeth felt the same.

‘I don’t know what to think,’ I said. ‘Sebastian locked me in a hospital room with the intention of experimenting on me! He even shot Terry! Yes, he’s helped us, and yes, he seems to be committed to stopping Evermore, but am I supposed to accept that he’s a good guy now?’

‘What’s your gut telling you?’

‘My gut?’

‘Yeah, you’ve always been powered by your intuition, Mia. You’ve got determination and strength, but you’re also smart. Both Lizzie and I trust that you’ll always do the right thing because, well, that’s how you roll.’

I smiled up at my friend. It was nice to receive such a compliment. I’d tried so hard to fit in with the academy students and then with the pack, but that feeling of being an outsider hadn’t gone away, so to be complimented on my qualities felt good.

‘Honestly, I want to believe that he’s changed. I want Sebastian to step up and help us defeat Parker and Felicity, Evermore, and the GA.
