“Yes?” I asked. My voice was extra sweet. Very much unlike me right now. Even my eyes knew what he was going to say and I was happy. “Fine. I’ll do it.” “That’s the spirit!” I gave him a smile as he looked at me like I was crazy. “Can I go? I would like to get ready.” Gunther looked around befo

“Whatever makes you sleep at night. Either way, I am happy she is alive. I am going to make her wish she was dead.” As gracefully as I could, I walked out of Colt’s office. Alec didn’t follow me but I could feel his concern he had over my newly found coping strategy. People were walking around lik

As he got in, I just turned and looked out the window. I knew Alec wanted me to work through my feelings but honestly right now, I just wanted to punch someone or something. It seemed like forever before we even got there. It was like deja vu with the yellow caution tape. As we walked in, all my s

“Alec thinks I am pushing him away because I didn’t hold his hand on the way over here.” I knew I sounded like a brat but I didn’t care. “Just because it is easier to push your anger off to him doesn’t mean it’s okay and when did this problem start up again? I thought you were past that?” Colt loo

“Kristen. Will you stop fidgeting!” Emmy pulled on my hair as I kept twisting in the chair. We were currently getting ready for the Winter Ball and not once the last few days has Gunther or Zac got into contact with us. We had no idea what they were doing, who they were doing it with or how they w

“Ice…” Colt walked up behind me and got my attention by nudging me. Turning, we looked over at him. “Time to start dinner.” The words were barely out of his mouth when the lights flickered, signalling everyone to get to their seats. Out of pure spite, we did not include Anthony and Ann at the he

“What’s that?” Alec asked right as a slow song came on. Strawberry Wine will always be a favorite of mine to slow dance to so I took his hand and pulled him into the floor. “You look good tonight, did I tell you that already?” Wrapping my arms around his shoulders, he held me tightly against him.

“I already mind-linked Jasper and we are going to figure out what is going on. You need to stay with Colt while I am trying to figure out what Anthony and Ann have planned.” Alec whispered to me. Anthony and Ann had just walked out of the room. Alec was looking around to see if the coast was clear

Ann was about to say something when we heard footsteps coming from behind us. There was more than a few people walking towards us. All of us turned and watched as Alec and Jasper walked out with three men being drug by their collars. All of them had blood on this faces but Alec and Jasper didn’t hav
