Evaline:
I just stood at the entrance, completely thrown off and trying to wrap my head around the fact that I wasn't at the Academy but standing in Draven's secret cabin nestled in the heart of the mountain.
This wasn't part of my plan.
I was supposed to return to my dorm, crash on my bed for a few hours, maybe drag myself to lunch with my friends and then spend the afternoon in the library trying to catch up on studies I had missed.
But Oscar - my sweet, stubborn, protective mate - had flipped that plan on its head by dropping me off here… and leaving me alone with his younger brother.
The same younger brother who hadn't spoken more than five sentences to me since Friday.
I glanced over at Draven.
