Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

The night was silent and cold, and a chilling breeze suddenly swept across Jonah's face. Judas.

That was a name he had not heard in ages. It echoed from a bloody, misty place far away, igniting a storm of turmoil in his chest. The voice that carried it felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place it immediately. "Who are you? Are you an ex-Cloudtop member?" Jonah turned away from Alyssa immediately and lowered his voice as much as he could.

"Jonah..." In an instant, Alyssa sensed something was wrong when she noticed the shift in his expression.

"Judas, high status really does make one forgetful, doesn't it?" Uri's icy, sinister voice pierced through Jonah's thoughts like a venomous snake. "It seems that the ever noble Judas has eyes only for Blake." "You're... Uri Holland?"

An uncertainty clawed at Jonah, and a sharp pain shot through his heart. The night closed in around him like a crushing, mottled wall. Blake his hidden ex-lover-haunted him still, a scar he dared not revisit. Panic surged within him, sensing something was amiss-Uri's unexpected call and Julien's tardiness.

A wave of dread washed over him as he feared the worst had happened.
