Evaline:
Somehow, I managed to survive the next two days. But surviving wasn't quite the same as living, and definitely not the same as focusing.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't push a certain Rogue Alpha out of my thoughts.
Draven.
Ever since the library meeting… everything had changed.
Before that evening, I had only met him twice and barely caught even a glimpse of him around the Academy. But now, he was suddenly everywhere.
I noticed him walking past me in the hallways, like a phantom brushing along the edge of my world. Then, he was in the dining hall, always a few tables away. He always kept his gaze cool and unreadable even though I knew... he was watching me.
Another time, he passed by the north-wing courtyard where I was resting with my friends after a long history class. His steps were measured and he kept his expression unreadable, like I wasn't even there.
