Chapter 161

June slipped by in the blink of an eye.

Final exams were just around the corner at colleges all across the city.

On this particular day, Citrine was heading to Havencrest Technical College, just as she always did, to tutor Travis and his friends.

She had barely stepped into the academic building when a sweet-faced girl darted up and blocked her path, arms outstretched.
