Chapter 48

Cassandra's wish.

I keep moving through the forest, thinking about Lucas, silently hoping the werewolves took care of him. I'm tormented from the inside out, wondering what would've happened if the werewolves didn't attack them tonight.

Deep down, I regret that I wasted my first kiss on him, regret that I ever trusted him.

The forest is silent and it must be nearly dawn by now; I've been missing for several hours.

The heavy mass around my chest reminds me about my terrible mistake, the guilt is slowly suffocating me and I don't know what to do. I hated him for no reason. My nightmare was real, and it showed me the truth.

Jorgen has a twin brother that no one in Rivenna knew about, and this entire time I was seeing him. There's obviously a history between them, and there's a reason why Jorgen never talked about him. Maybe his whole family's been protecting this secret for years.
