Jade’s POV
The morning sun streamed through the blinds as I pulled on my hoodie and slid my backpack over one shoulder. My parents had offered to walk me to school, but I insisted I’d be fine.
Fine. What a stupid word.
How was I supposed to be fine after everything that happened at the Moon Ball? After finding out that the mate I’d dreamed of for years—the person destined to love and protect me—was none other than Hunter Ashford?
The guy who made my life miserable.
The guy who stood frozen, whispering my name, while I ran like a frightened rabbit.
The guy who hadn’t shown his face since.
I walked into Crescent High with my head held high, though my stomach was a knot of nerves. Ashley had texted she'd be a little late, so I was on my own for now.
The hallway quieted when I entered.
