The first night Sophia stepped into the Black Shadow pack, everything went totally sideways.
Just then, I heard footsteps approaching my door, and before I knew it, Beta Jace burst into my room.
He hurried in, turned on the light, and saw Sophia and Joy on the floor. Sophia, still holding the scissors in her hand, stabbing into Joy's arm, and Joy was bleeding all over the floor.
The blood was a deep, rich red, pooling gradually on the floor. Joy's screams were gruesome.
Kas, on the other hand, was huddled on the bed, wrapped up in the covers. Her face was pale with fear, and her eyes were wide and innocent. Her bright eyes held a heartbreaking readiness to spill tears.
I had to give it to Kas—she was smart and had a knack for acting. I could see exactly what she was up to.
