I was beyond exhausted by the time we came back to the Academy, and after looking at my watch I realized it was already three in the morning. Dante decided to stay in town, hitting one of the clubs he frequently went to, but I had no desire for it. Not right now.

I had no idea if Jax only came with me because he could feel I was unraveling at the seams, but he refused Dante's offer to go to Pandämonium, a sex club on the outskirts of Wolfhöle. He thanked the driver as we exited from the car, right in front of the admin building where Jax decided to stay during his time at the Academy, refusing my offer to come to the cabin.

I stared up at the dark sky, or well, at least I tried to. The fog descended down on the mountain, making it hard to see the sky, or anything for that matter. The lights leading down the path toward the entrance of the main building were muffled, and the sound of owls hooting somewhere in the distance made it all seem much more ominous than it truly was.

I didn't forget that we had a killer somewhere in our midst, but my tired brain couldn't think about that either. I wanted to—no, needed to—go to sleep, but I knew it wouldn't come even if I went to my cabin immediately and laid down in my bed.

"Are you okay?" Jax asked as he stood next to me, his eyes on my profile. "You seemed irritated tonight."

"I know." I exhaled slowly. "I will probably need to apologize to Dante at some point, but today wasn't a good day."

I was lying through my teeth and we both knew it. But he didn't comment on it. He didn't try to persuade me again to go and visit the doctor.

Instead, he took a step toward the building, turning slightly toward me. "If you need anything, just let me know."

"I will." I nodded.

There were no more words needed and when Jax's body was swallowed by the mist surrounding us as he walked toward the entrance, I turned around, starting to walk toward my cabin, only to stop not even five minutes after.

I hated myself for what I was about to do. I hated the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about the dark-haired vixen that took over my mind, but I couldn't fight it. I was too tired to fight it. Too tired to argue with myself, and instead of continuing toward my cabin, I turned left and started walking straight toward her building.
