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

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

koda smirks, but says nothing, Crossing his arms over his chest, he glares at the four broodingly.

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

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