Chapter 5

Maddie left our side immediately as soon as we reached the ballroom, talking to who I could only assume as classmates. Ty had stayed back with me for a moment and he graciously walked me over to a corner. The smells were a bit overwhelming mixed with the loudness of the music and chattering. I was thankful for Ty’s help.

“Go, I know you got some friends here.”

I felt him shake his head.

I tilted my head toward him, now aware that he was stiff as a board. “You smell her don’t you, your mate?”

Kai came forward for the first time in a while. Maybe they aren’t here yet, it is still pretty early.

I looked around, there were a lot of people, but there were still people filling into the ballroom. It was only 6:15pm after all.

We wouldn’t be the last ones left. The wind whipped up again and I leaned back, letting it flow over my skin, my usual baggy clothes didn’t let my skin breathe the warmth of the air. I felt like I was recharging in the moonlight. The tiredness and weariness of life just melting away all the negative emotions I was feeling.
