CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
Winter
My hands shake as I untie the boat and clamber into it. The Silver Hunters haven't caught up to me yet, but I probably only have minutes to spare, if even that.
Turning on the motor, I navigate into the open water. The tears turn to sobs, which start to shake my chest until I can hardly breathe.
Damn those Silver Hunters. Alec never did a thing to hurt them, and yet they're constantly attacking us. They torched our school. Did who-knows-what to our classmates and teachers.
And now Alec might die.
And all because he's different. All because they're afraid of his power.
I sniffle and wipe tears from my cheeks. It feels like there's a big hole in my chest and I'm going to fold right into it.
I have to save Alec.
First, I need help, though. The two of us together barely stood a chance against those Silver Hunters, so going up against them solo is pointless.
But who will I go to?
