Looking around at my brothers sitting around the hat, I can feel their disappointment. They wanted Draven to stay and although I acted like I was never going to let that happen – I wanted it too. But now, with Marcus death and the

“What about Emily?” Quinn asks and my eyes go straight for him. “She’s homeless.”

Koda’s sharp chuckle cuts me off. “I don’t think so.” He shakes his head. “She and Draven he become quick friends. I’m pretty sure where Draven goes, she will

“You don’t know that, sigh. “But it doesn’t matter either. In fact it might be better she does.”

“Yeah,” Logan chimes in. “What happened to no allies‘?”

“How are you doing?” I ask, my eyes going to Gryttin questioningly. “Any change?”

He shakes his lyrail, his eyes fired. “No.”

I nod, “I think I may have a theory on that,”
