“Let’s go for a walk,” I said to Enzo. I nodded my head toward the forest, past where the groundskeeper was filling in my twin sister’s grave with moist dirt. Over our heads, the wind was howling fiercely and the sky was darkening at a rapid rate while a freezing, sharp rain was beginning to fall.

Enzo looked a little surprised at my request to walk in this weather, but he didn’t protest. “Lead the way,” he said. I took his hand and led him past the groundskeeper, into the thicker part of the woods where the wind and the rain were less prominent. It felt a little silly to be walking through the woods in that weather while wearing a simple black dress, which had actually belonged to Selena, but I felt too compelled to walk and I didn’t want to go back to the mansion.

“Where do you want to go?” Enzo asked curiously.

I shrugged. “Nowhere in particular. I just want to think clearly.”

In fact, the cold made me feel invigorated and free, and filled me with an overwhelming urge to shift. Beside me, I could somehow sense that Enzo wanted to shift, too.

Not much was known about Selena and her real interests, but I liked to imagine that she was an avid reader. She probably spent a lot of time reading romance novels, which was why she was so taken with Enzo and adamant about making him her mate. She seemed like

I could tell that he was more deeply sad about Selena’s untimely death than he let on, but that he was also deeply relieved that everything was over — for the most part. For us, it was over. My father would handle the Crescents. Perhaps Enzo could eventually get his revenge on Lewis for disrespecting his father, but other than that, we didn’t have any part left to play in this. It was time for a real army, my father’s army, to take down the Crescents. Now, we could just go back to being normal college
