We helped the naked boy to his feet, and then Luna took off her sweatshirt and handed it to him. He tied it around his waist like a loincloth.

He had shaggy, reddish-brown hair that hung to his shoulders. Dark brown eyes were narrowed as he looked around at his surroundings.

I stepped forward. “Hi, I’m Gabriella. You probably need a minute. Do you want to sit down?”

He groaned. “I feel like I’ve been on a year-long acid trip. My whole body hurts.” He looked at his hands, turning them over and over. “I can’t believe I’m me again.” He lifted his brown eyes to search our gazes. “How did this happen? I thought I would be stuck like that forever.”

Remy clapped me on the back. “Our girl here is amazing! One little touch from her and … poof, you were standing in all your naked glory, right here in front of us to ogle.”

I gave the boy a nod. “I wish I could stay and chat but I need to go check on our friend Hannah. I’ll be back.” I started to leave when Trev shook his head.

“When we dropped her off in your room, she asked to be left alone. She probably just needs a half hour to process. She’s been through a lot.”

She was one of my best friends, so I didn’t think that I would count when she said she wanted to be alone.

Remy touched my arm. “Let’s give her half an hour, okay? And then we will break down the door if she refuses to let us in.”

I nodded. “Okay.”

I needed to keep busy, or I would fall to pieces myself. The boy and our victory was all but forgotten as I started to think about Finn.

Trev cleared his throat. “Gabriella, I know your instinct is to go after Finn, but I think, if you chase after him, he will run or, worse, go into hiding. He is unbelievably powerful in this new form, and it must scare him.”

Remy nodded. “He doesn’t want to hurt you, babe.”

“The bond is obviously still there,” Ezra added. “He can sense when you need him, like tonight. My suggestion is we lay a trap for him, and he will come to you.”

I wanted Finn now, but what they said made sense. “What kind of trap?”

“The marked still need to be free,” said Trev. “Just trying to figure out how to do that will be dangerous. Plus, now that we know you can change the wendigos back to their original self, there will be moments when you are naturally scared. The commander will sense your fear.”

I thought back to what the headmistress had said. “And I know exactly which wendigo marked your people—the one that is tied up.”

“Without the headmistress, though,” Luna piped in, “we won’t be able to control the wendigos.” She looked around the room. “She wouldn’t happen to be part of this carnage, would she?”

I shook my head. “Afraid not. She escaped while her guards were being torn to shreds.
