Chapter 78
Alessia’s POV
I whine as stones and probably a million other sharp objects dig into my back. Opening my eyes, I blink up at a pitch-black sky, remembering everything that has happened in the past half hour, and then whining again.
I can’t believe Zuri did all that. She forced herself on Caden, got rejected, got thrown out of his room, then finished it up by running into the woods and into what seems to be an attack.

But he’s… smiling. Not at all looking like someone who’s about to have their head ripped off from their body very soon. I soon realize why, but it’s already too late as the blade slides through my fur and into my
