Chapter 23

I stare at my father in stupefication. I had to have heard him wrong but there’s a growing anger inside of me that tells me I heard him clearly.

I try calling Thomas’s number but he’s not answering his phone. I’m not surprised. I hit the steering wheel in frustration. Then Johnathon stiffens. “My wolf is going crazy” he breathes “keep going in this direction” he orders and I’m quick to obey. My heart is hammering in my chest and I’m terrified for my younger sister. This is all my fault. It’s my so called friend who’s paid for her. I should have stayed home
