Chapter Fifteen

Karelis

I let out a sigh, flopping over to my other side to try and get comfortable. June mumbled something in her sleep but soon resumed her soft snores. They didn’t bother me. It reminded me of home. The guards outside my door would often fall asleep on their shift, and a few would snore.

With eyes wide open, I made claws of my fingers and strangled the air in front of me, exhausted but knowing sleep wasn’t coming anytime soon.

If my brain would simply stop running through the night’s events, that would give me the respite I needed. Or, rather, stop thinking about those guys. First, there were the two I saw in the office, but clearly there was a third. One with platinum hair and I’d caught a glimpse of a killer smile.

I sat up and walked paces along the dorm room floor. Even with socks and pajamas on, I reached for a hoodie to help me warm up. Winter wasn’t in full force, but this place had a cold I suspected lingered between the seasons.

As I was taking slow, methodical steps, trying to tire myself at the same time as being quiet for my roommate to sleep, something in the bathroom mirror caught my eye. June had gone to the restroom in the middle of the night and left the door open. Whirling around, I saw the reflection of lights outside. And not the ones I’d seen in the common area before.

These glowed with a lavender hue I’d never seen before. Coming from the Light Kingdom, that was saying something.

I readied myself to go to the small window of our room and peek out but then hesitated. With the trouble I was already in, maybe I should mind my own damned business and keep a low profile. Running around with June was fun and all, but I had more to lose here than a chance at an education.

One of my wolves’ lives was on the table.

I tugged at the strings of my hoodie, trying to make a decision when I heard scurrying outside the door. I swung it open but didn’t dare step over the threshold, careful not to disobey one of the rules. But I caught sight of one of the guys.

They sure were active at night for people stuck in a place where discipline was mandatory. I watched as he took the stairs two by two and, before I could say anything, he was out of sight. Not that I would’ve known what to say.

Instead of going back into my room and having a wrestling match with sleep, one I would lose, I sat in the doorway with my back against the doorframe. I faced the stairs, hoping that not only would I see the guy with the shorter hair again but that maybe I could talk to him. Find out what was going on.

And his name. So I could stop referring to him as the shorter-haired guy in my mind.

June never stirred as I listened for any sound that might be him.
