I stretched out on my bed and inhaled. Ember’s scent filled the room making me hard. Ash and ice. It was an odd combination but on her it smelled divine and sweeter than one would imagine. I had swapped pillows with Karn just so I could have that scent surround me as I slept. Damn it.

“How was she really?” Karn had downplayed her injuries and refused to talk about it while I had to endure the long hours of our classes. This whole keeping up a front and pretending to be students was a pain in the ass.

“I’m not a medic but I guessed she had a few broken ribs. She was bruised and bleeding when I found her because the witches threw a potion on her and hit her with an energy ball, which weakened her so the four bitches could beat her. It was clearly a message.” Karn’s eyes glowed from within and he worked his jaw.

My brother was the calmer, more tamed of the two of us. He also had more compassion and empathy than me, but that didn’t make him weak. I believed it made him stronger.

“From now on, she doesn’t go anywhere without one of us there,” Caleb said from where he sat at the end of my bed. “I’d go to the dean, but I don’t think it will do any good. This is no reform school. Every trial and lesson seemed to set the students up to fail. I have no pull here. For all I know the witches could have been sent to throw her off, get a reaction from her. Anyone from the dean himself to any of the staff and faculty could have sent them as a test.”

“This school is a joke.” I sat up, tucking my legs under me as I moved closer to Caleb. “I agree. Ember has the discipline to graduate on her own no matter what the faculty throws at her. So it makes sense that someone would have her attacked to get her to react.”

“But who?” Karn asked no one specific.

“That’s what we need to figure out. And to see if it is related to the threat her father believes she has on her life.” Caleb glanced to Karn before meeting my stare. Heat blazed in his violet depths. “I’ve noticed someone following me.”

The sudden change of subject threw me a little. I recovered quickly. “Yeah, same here. I keep seeing the same few people watching all of us and Ember.” I didn’t care if I was being followed. The fuckers could spy all they want because they wouldn’t live long enough to pass on information to whoever they were meeting.

Karn turned his desk chair to face us. He was working on financials for our company, Stavros Securities. “So we follow them and see who they report to.”

Caleb nodded. “I’ll get a message to Lucent and bring him in.”

I growled, not liking the idea that the male in question was mostly likely comforting our mate at the moment.
