SERAPINA'S POV
I hadn’t meant to get close to them. Swear to the Moon, I hadn’t.
I was more than happy to leave Kieran and Celeste alone to rehash their twisted relationship dynamic, but my injured ankle held me back.
And even though I didn’t want to see them, I was just slow enough to catch another group joining them. Oh, fantastic—Celeste's bitchy little crew.
The same pack of vipers who’d tormented me since high school. They swarmed her instantly, gushing congratulations—Kieran was finally back where he belonged.
Fuck! I jerked my gaze away, the scene sickeningly familiar. I should leave. Now.
Then I saw Maya.
Slim, athletic, exuding confidence like a second skin, wild curls bouncing around her like a halo of fire. No doubt about it—it was Maya.
My hand shot up automatically, a grin spreading as I started toward her. Finally, she’d dare to show off the mate she'd kept hidden for so long. Maybe now I could tease her about—
The man beside her shifted to show his full face.
