Chapter 179: East. West. South. North

There was a little commotion as the pack members who had chased them through the Silver Glade, went into the crowd of newbies and began dragging the defeated students away.

"Are they doing what I think they’re doing?" Ivy asked Daisy in a whisper.

"The wolves are identifying and pulling their captured prey, the ones who lost in the game, to their permanent houses," Lila was the one who replied, calmly explaining it all to the others.

She said to her roommate with a serious expression. "That would have been your fate if I hadn’t stepped in. We would have been separated just like that."

The truth of her words hit like a cold slap, and all three of them swallowed hard, the weight of what could have been settling over them.

"And we’re grateful for your help," Violet said sincerely, locking eyes with Lila.

A slow smile spread across Lila’s face, and just like that, the girl they knew was back. "Of course. I’m amazing, and I know it." She flipped her hair dramatically, making Daisy snort.

Violet let out a soft chuckle, and before she knew it, her arms were wrapping around Lila in a tight hug. Lila melted into the embrace, holding on just as tightly.

But their moment was shattered by a sharp shriek.

Their heads snapped toward the sound, their laughter fading. A girl was being wrenched away from her roommates, her cries filled with devastation as her friends clung to her, powerless to stop it.

Violet, Lila, Daisy, and Ivy stood frozen, stricken by the sight knowing that could have been them. For the first time that night, the girls exchanged a shared, silent look of gratitude toward Lila, who felt a swell of pride in her chest.

By the time the pack members had finished their work, there were only eleven of them left, standing together in a haphazard cluster.

"Fuck, this is terrible!" Violet heard someone mutter from the crowd, their voice bitter. "There shouldn’t be this many winners. This year’s game is a failure."
