For a while, I had thought I could still fix it.
Then poof.
Gone.
Again.
When she came back, she came back with them wrapped around her like rabid guard dogs. Aiden watching everything. Thane hovering like a scarred wall. Keres grinning with those f*****g teeth like he knew every thought in my head and wanted to dare me to have another.
I should never have trusted Rachel.
I looked over my shoulder.
She was stuffing lipstick into a bag.
Lipstick.
Of course.
“You told me you had things under control at school,” I said.
She froze.
“What?”
“You told me Perse hated them. You told me she would never allow a mate bond with them.”
Rachel’s face twisted.
“She did hate them.”
“And yet here we are.”
“That’s not my fault!”
I laughed.
It sounded wrong even to me.
“Nothing ever is.”
