Chapter 11

I make a gagging sound that brings our trio to a halt while I attempt to avoid a physical reaction to the god-awful smells of campus.

“It’s easier if you breathe through your mouth,” Kash says through the wireless earbud I’m wearing.

“He’s right,” Talia says from beside me. I glance over to see her expression is just as strained as Anna’s though probably for different reasons. Anna looks a bit green around the edges where Talia’s usual resting bitch face is amplified by at least a hundred.

At least, I’m not the only one having a hard time concentrating.

All around us, other students move in their usual patterns to and from classes. The morning air is crisp and cold, but even the frigid New England temperature can’t mask all the smells my new senses are picking up. Body odor, Axe body spray, marijuana–the scents all mix together in my nostrils, and even though we just arrived, I’m counting down the minutes until we’re done here.

“Has this place always smelled this bad?” I ask.

“Humans aren’t the smelliest creatures alive, but you wouldn’t know it from walking through a college campus,” Lynch says as if he’s reciting a fact from National Geographic.

Justice snorts. “You think this is bad. Try the locker room after football practice.”

His voice is laced with amusement, and I stop, turning and scowling over my shoulder at where he shadows us from a distance.

Talia, Anna, and I exchange a look. Our group conference call streams directly into all three of our earbuds, but none of us bothers to contradict Lynch’s or Justice’s statements. From the looks of it, Talia’s wolf senses are just as overwhelmed as mine are. Still, according to Kash and Lynch, we’re doing way better than any other newly-turned wolf they’ve ever seen.

Ten points to Gryffindor. Actually, make that five to Ravenclaw and five to Slytherin.

Our seamless transition is one of the main reasons they let us carry out this insane idea without them glued to our hips. Well, that and the fact that Justice is here acting as backup to help boost our numbers if Brody decides to fall for our little trap. Talia and I nearly howled in excitement when the guys agreed to stay out of sight for our plan. Anna, on the other hand, looks like she might have regrets. Despite the fact that she was completely on board with the idea at first, now that we’re here, she looks like she’s ready to throw up.

“Do you see him?” she asks, hitching her bag higher on her shoulder as we make our way toward her first class of the day.

“No.” I scan the faces scattered across the lawn, using all my senses to determine if any of the people here are secretly a werebro trying to kill us.

“Doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one of his minions close by to spy on us though,” Talia reminds us. “Stay close, Anna-Banana.”

“I’m gonna stick to y’all like a tick on a hound dog,” Anna assures us.

I reach for her hand and squeeze it reassuringly before dropping it.
