Chapter 31

  The phone in Annette's backpack rang again.

  Connor asked, "Did Kyle pester you again?"

  "Did you know?" Annette did not answer Connor's question but said, "I have studied very hard. People think that I am smart and talented. In fact, I worked very hard. I just wanted to fulfill my dream one day, but now, they have destroyed it."

  "Them? Who are they?" Connor hugged her tightly, his heart filled with anger.

  "Fiona. She gave the position to Kyle's new girlfriend," Annette said tiredly.

  Connor's eyes turned serious. He thought, 'So, it was the Luna of the Crystal Pack.'

  "If I were replaced because I wasn't good enough for the position, I would accept it. But I can't understand why they have to destroy my future. Is it simply because I am a rogue and a hybrid?"

  Annette seemed to have thought of something. Then, she took two steps back from Connor's arms and looked at him.

  "What's wrong?" Connor asked in confusion.
