Chapter Twenty-Seven

That night, I couldn’t sleep. The next day was a miserable haze of physical training, classes, and hand-to-hand training that never seemed to end. By the time I fell into bed at the end of the day, it felt like I could sleep for a week.

Or rather, until five thirty the next morning.

“Could I borrow your alarm clock?” I asked Hanna, who was still sitting at her desk. I threw my arm over my eyes to block out the light. “I need to get one of my own, but I guess I’m not going shopping this weekend.”

“Yep.” Hanna didn’t have to ask why. There weren’t many secrets in the houses. “What were you and Tristan thinking, anyway? He usually stays far away from Julia.”

“I don’t know.”

Her pencil scratched over her paper, but I could feel her tension from here.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Bullshit. But if she wanted to run with that, fine. I was going to sleep. I wasn’t going to try to be a good friend if she—

I wasn’t a good friend, period.

Kate, Wendy, Rachel. I’d left them all hanging. I’d been so wrapped up in my own problems that I’d barely thought about how they’d feel when I vanished off the face of the earth.

“Do you have a phone?” I asked.

“We’re not allowed cell phones.” She tucked her pencil behind her ear as she twisted to face me. “Except on weekends.”

“Let me guess… if you’re not on restriction.”

“They open the lockers on Friday nights. I’ll go get mine.”

“Thanks.”

She slipped out of the room, then came back a few minutes later with her pink cell phone. “Here you go.”

“You are the best,” I told her.

I’d usually just text Kate, but this time I decided to call her. She didn’t pick up, and as the call went to voicemail, I realized that was no surprise. Who answers the phone for an unknown number?

“Hey Kate, it’s Deidra. Sorry I just disappeared.” Shoot, it wasn’t like I could explain why very well. Kate was my best friend in the world, but she didn’t know anything about Hunting. I wonder what she had heard. “Things got really weird but if anyone told you I hurt someone… I didn’t. Okay?”

There was an urgent knock on the door. “Hanna?”

It was Cade’s low, sexy voice, and the rumble of his voice sent a spike of nerves through my chest.

“I’ll talk to you later,” I said, hanging up quickly.

Hanna swung open the door for Cade.

He looked past her to me, and groaned, raking his hand through his hair. “You can’t call home. Didn’t we talk about that?”

His words unsettled me, but I looked down at the vibrating phone as Kate tried to call me back. “I can’t call home. Home is gone.”

Home had his throat ripped out…

“I’m just trying to make sure my best friend doesn’t have to wonder if I’m alive or dead.” I said.

“She thinks you’re in the witness protection program,” he said. “Part of the cover story to get those police charges off your back and
