As a raven, I was perched on the roof of the Aster building, waiting for Randall. The full moon was back, and I was certain he would soon walk out of the building, wearing his long cloak, and head into the woods.

And I would follow him again. But this time, I was going to enter the portal with him. I had stashed my phone inside my pocket before shifting to record it all.

If Randall really performed the Bloodsbane ritual, or anything like that, it would be his end.

From here, I could get a glimpse of the Gardenia building. A couple of hours earlier, I had seen Erin entering her room through her window, with Claire and Harper. The three of them ate chocolate while talking. While Claire and Harper seemed animated, Erin was putting on a show. Whenever they weren’t looking, her smile faded and her shoulders sagged. She had been like that ever since that night at my house a couple of weeks ago.

She hadn’t showed up to my class anymore, which to be honest was good for me, because I wasn’t sure I could handle being in closed quarters with her again. She was a walking temptation and my control was fading. Even with her mother’s threat hanging over my head.

But her absence made me a little worried. How would she graduate if she failed my class? By now, I should have reported her for skipping, but I was hoping a miracle would happen, and things would resolve themselves.

I hadn’t seen her face-to-face anymore, but I still followed her around when I thought it was necessary. Despite knowing we could never be, my feelings for her only got stronger every single day, and my need to make sure she was okay consumed me if I didn’t check on her every few hours.

I felt like a complete motherfucker for putting that permanent frown on her pretty face. I wished we lived another life, where she wasn’t a demonic princess and I wasn’t a half-demon. We could have met under normal circumstances, while we both attended college, fallen in love between classes and parties, and lived happily ever after together.

Why the fuck I was thinking about that? These thoughts only made me hurt more.

Finally, when it was almost midnight, Randall walked out of the building. Like a month ago, he simply strolled through the academy, and no one crossed his path, no one saw him. At the outpost, the guards marched a few feet away and turned their backs, as if enchanted, and only after Randall had crossed through the gates, they woke up and returned to their post.

I followed Randall through the forest, to the same spot I had seen him before. He chanted some words under his breath, and the portal appeared under the same arched tree trunk. He walked in.

I sucked in a sharp breath and followed him in.

The portal opened to faint sunshine over a wintery scenery. Snow covered the ground and the treetops, and a small, old, ramshackle cottage sat a few feet away.
