The car screeched to a halt just outside, and Yale, who had been waiting near the entrance, immediately approached.

“Where’s Rosaline?” I asked, scanning the area but not seeing her.

“She’s inside, giving her statement to the officers,” Yale replied.

I walked into the station’s lobby, and as soon as I entered, everyone turned their attention toward me.

It was something I was used to by now, my face and name well–known in Rivemon.

The police chief, Dominic Andrus, hurried down from the second floor and greeted me respectfully. “Mr. Holbrook, please follow me.”

Not bothering with small talk, I followed him to the door of the interrogation room. Inside, Rosaline sat with an air of calm confidence, a werewolf female officer seated across from her, taking down her statement.

“Rosaline,” I called gently, stepping inside, “are you okay?”

She looked up but didn’t meet my gaze. Instead, her eyes drifted to Wendy, who had followed behind me.

Rosaline’s expression shifted, her face hardening. She avoided my eyes. “What, are you hoping I’m not okay?” she retorted, her voice sharp with sarcasm.

I was momentarily taken aback.

I had rushed here, concerned for her, and this was her response?

Was she angry because I hadn’t kept my promise to go to Lover’s Lake?

If I had, maybe this whole mess could’ve been avoided.

I never would’ve let Rosaline go to such a secluded area alone or let any harm happen to her.

“That’s not what I meant,” I muttered, my voice soft.
