CHAPTER 32

On the other side of the street, Kesstel was looking over Bethany Wilks’s head and staring straight at me.

Man, even in street clothes—a simple black shirt and jeans—he looked like a prince. Was it the way he carried himself? The straight line of his back and relaxed shoulders spoke volumes. He knew he was on top of the world—even while lugging three shopping bags from designer stores in each hand. Did he want to flaunt it that badly? Why didn’t he just put them in his Items Bag?

Beside him, Bethany was dressed to kill in her flower-print summer dress and flowing curls. She was talking endlessly at him, not noticing he wasn’t even paying attention. Then her thick lashes lowered coquettishly and she peeked up at him, her red lips curling in a smile.

He blinked and looked down at her, finally reacting to whatever she’d just said.

Released from his gaze, I sighed. The power in his stare was so heavy it was hard to breathe.

“Wow,” Aliya whispered. “They look like movie stars.”

I hummed under my breath and sat back down. “Yep.”

My sister tapped her finger against her chin, thinking. “I know that woman. What was her name? Bethany Wilks, the daughter of the Hunter Council’s treasurer, right? Isn’t she the new face of the Hunters?”

I turned my head and watched their backs get farther away. So she had money, talent, and prestige. What a good catch. What a good pair. What a—

I frowned, killing the thought before it could go any further. I took a huge bite of the chocolate tres leches cake and savored the creamy goodness, letting it lift my mood.

“She’s the one who announced the results of the Gate Surge here. I’m glad that Eden handled it better than other countries did.” Aliya popped the last of her éclair in her mouth.

I froze, my cup half raised to my lips. “What do you mean, other countries?”

Aliya blinked at me. “The Gate Surges from last week,” she prompted. When I continued to stare at her with wide eyes, she frowned. “How can you not know?”

My mouth wrinkled in a frown as I tried to come up with something to say while shock crashed through my mind. “I don’t watch the news, and I spend a lot of time in the Gate.”

The news was never on when I ate at the hostel, and I didn’t have a phone or laptop to view stuff like that. Every second of my day was spent either trying to level up or sleeping, and since I avoided people, it wasn’t like I had the chance to learn about anything newsworthy from them.

“The Gate Surge last week didn’t just happen in Eden. Every single Gate in the whole world had a Surge—simultaneously. Last I heard, nearly a million people died. And there are some Gates, like the one in France, that aren’t even under control yet. I heard they just reached out to the German United Union for help.” Aliya took a little sip of her milk.
