Chapter Twenty-nine

When the jet touched down, the Academy’s SUV was waiting. As soon as Alex appeared, the vehicle door flew open.

The sight of Siale nearly undid him completely. Alex climbed down the steps on legs that felt like they were made of jelly. He took two steps, then she was in his arms, holding him with tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Oh, Alex, I’m so sorry,” she said. She hugged him tight. “I’m so, so sorry about Kalia. It’s too much.”

Alex held her, the smell of her sage and lavender scent surrounding him, clearing his thoughts and chasing away some of the tightness in his chest.

When Jaze walked past them, Alex met the dean’s gaze. “Thank you,” he mouthed.

Jaze nodded with a smile.

Before, Alex hadn’t known how he was going to face the Academy without Kalia. With Siale’s fingers linked in his, he was able to cross to the SUV without feeling like every step closer to the school meant accepting the fact that Kalia was gone. At least with Siale at his side, he felt like he didn’t have to hold up completely by himself. If he fell apart, she would be there to pick up the pieces, and she would never judge him, because she knew his darkest flaws and loved him anyway.

They climbed inside the SUV and took the back seat. Alex was surprised to find Trent driving.

“I told them I needed my license,” Trent explained. “They said I needed the practice, so here I am.”

“I’m not sure logging hours chauffeuring people is legal,” Alex said, grateful for the werewolf’s presence.

“Another minor detail I convinced them to overlook,” Trent answered.

Kaynan shook his head from the passenger seat. “It’s a good thing your friend isn’t going into politics, or we’d all be in trouble.”

Trent chuckled. “Don’t worry, Professor. If politics were like engines and could be tweaked to run better, I’d love it. As it is, though, free will just poses too much interference.”

“Who let the kid behind the wheel?” Mouse asked as he climbed into the middle seat with Jaze. “Haven’t you seen him fly a helicopter?”

“Another license I’m working on,” Trent said, winking at Alex and Siale in the rearview mirror.

Siale smiled and slipped her hand into Alex’s. “You have good friends,” she whispered.

Alex nodded. “The best.” He stared out the window at the setting sun. Red and gold reflected off the snow, filling it with a million diamonds of light.

Jaze’s voice broke through the silence. “Mr. Dickson wants to fly you to his estate for the funeral, Alex. He said Siale is welcome to come as well.”

Alex let out a slow breath. “Are any of the other students coming?”

“Her brother Boris, of course, and Torin is insisting that he be there. Cassie and Tennison will join you along with the other members of Pack Kalia.”

“Me, too,” Trent said. “And Terith. She’d be furious if you left her out.”

“Anyone who would like to go is welcome,” Jaze replied.

“You don’t want to mess with an angry Terith,” Trent muttered, staring out the window.
